The Devil Sword Swordsman
Ch. 152 - Electric Eel
The Lightning Fox approached Xin Fai the next day inside the cave, she found the boy in training alone very vigorously even though his current state was not so good yet he still forced himself. As the demon climbed onto the boulder as before, he opened his mouth as Xin Fai halted the practice upon noticing the fox's presence.
"I forgot to ask you your name yesterday."
The question or rather the statement made Xin Fai think first, he replied briefly afterwards.
"My name is Xin Fai, Uncle Fox."
"Uncle Fox said!?"
Xin Fai was shocked at the response of the Lightning Fox who seemed to want to eat him alive, she did not know why this creature was so sensitive.
"Don't call me uncle! I'm young, you idiot!"
"Hahahaha yes, yes... It's my fault Uncle Fox." Xin Fai scratched her head while grinning as wide as possible. He was silent when he realized he had mispronounced again.
"Stop calling me uncle!"
After the emotions of the Lightning Fox stabilized again and Xin Fai was able to catch his breath, he moved cautiously in fear if the demon suddenly ate him. As the fox raged, the wall of the cave felt like it was about to collapse. It was inconceivable how great this demon power would be if it unleashed all of its power.
"Alright, Faifai. Since you're already my student, we'll begin your training of physical strengthening first."
Xin Fai found it quite strange why the fox demon called him that but he had no intention of asking that. He nodded slowly waiting for the next direction.
"In this exercise you need to go through six body trainings." The Lightning Fox added, "The first is training of bones, blood, marrow, organs, blood circulation and lastly the senses."
The Lightning Fox explained that in each training it needed a lot of inner strength, so Xin Fai had to increase the number of his inner circle in order to be able to do all the training easily.
But he himself was not sure, based on the explanation of the Lightning Fox the training took up to decades to achieve perfect body quality. There were even those who had carried out that training for the rest of their lives but never made it to the 6th stage.
Seeing the despair on the child's face the Thunder Fox walked towards the riverbank, he asked Xin Fai to come closer while looking at the hundreds of electric eels inside. They look fierce and dangerous, just a little stray the group of eels will rampage to jump from the water. Therefore Xin Fai put on a cautious attitude while on the river bank.
"By eating these electric eels your inner circle will multiply, their number in the hundreds. You can have them all if you want."
Although the Lightning Fox gave the electric eels away for free but there was no happiness in Xin Fai's heart, he actually thought about how his life would be when faced with these crazy eels. They seemed to hold a grudge against Xin Fai, just look at the eels jumping up and about to reach her body.
"Is there no other way? You're like giving me a treasure chest that doesn't contain it..."
"Hm? Meanin?"
"I can't take these eels, especially if you tell me to catch them at the bottom of the river. Their number reaches hundreds and even–"
The byuurr!
The Lightning Fox chuckled after pushing Xin Fai to the brink, she felt that this was enough to avenge her earlier. Xin Fai appeared on the surface with a panicked face, she could not see anything and could only listen to the sound of splashing water around her.
The electric eel was chasing towards him with electric leaps so powerful, Xin Fai resisted all the attacks while looking for the riverbank to escape but the panic was like secretly killing him. He simply could not escape from these electric eels.
"Return your breathing little boy, a fight on the seabed like this you will do when fighting the Ice Demon Lord later."
Xin Fai's face seemed to be cursing the Lightning Fox from earlier, she took a deep breath along with her body that felt electrocuted in all parts. These electric eels did not give the slightest pause to make Xin Fai numb in this river.
Having absolutely no sword to counterattack him using a blade of light, but on the contrary, instead of being afraid of these electric eels becoming even more ferocious.
"Armrgggh!"
The Lightning Fox only watched Xin Fai who was struggling against her little monsters, she watched so happily. "Until you get five electric eels, you can't get out of that river."
Xin Fai clucked violently, in order to escape from the entanglement of the eel alone he was overwhelmed let alone having to catch the super slippery body charged with electricity. "Ck! How can I catch him with such bare hands?! "
"Think about it for yourself, I'm gonna get some wind."
The Lightning Fox walked out of the cave along with the air of its existence that began to be felt no longer, Xin Fai focused on regulating his breathing as best as possible until he could stand upright on the water.
But the problem is that the eel still electrocutes the soles of his feet and even some others jump into the air to slap Xin Fai's face.
"You guys?! What grudges have you guys got to torture me like this? Cruel!"
Ten eels followed after slapping Xin Fai, the boy grumbling resentfully at the spot where he stood. That's right, it seems that this electric eel doesn't like it. Xin Fai endured the pain for a while while capturing one of the bodies of the electric eel.
When his hand managed to catch one of the eels, the electric shock was so strong and slippery that he wanted to give up even more.
Xin Fai realized her palm was like it was giving off a burning smell. "Damn...if only with eels I lose how will I face the Ice Demon Lord?"
Xin Fai gathered the surrounding blades of light, he tried to gather the blades together to form a dazzling circle of light.
The movements of the electric eels started to disorganize, they even jumped to a place far from where Xin Fai was standing. Feeling that the vision of the ferocious beasts was disturbed Xin Fai felt that this was his golden opportunity.
"Yes! With this it's easy to catch you, ugly eel!"
One of the eels managed to get into Xin Fai's grasp, but he immediately leapt strong to the point of almost getting into the child's nostrils.
"Fucking clown!" Xin Fai hurriedly removed the eel from his nose, the creature shocked him instantly and took it off like he was mocking Xin Fai.
The misfortune made Xin Fai's nose bleed, she took a breath of frenzy like she was about to go berserk.
"Brother insolent eels! I'm gonna rip you apart, okay?!"
