The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 179. The White Lotus Sword Science
Obeying his teacher's orders, starting with that day Lin Tian focused on his sword practice. Whether it was morning, noon, afternoon or night, the young man continued to train himself vigorously according to Chong San's teachings.
"Hiat–Krakk!!"
The human-tall tree was successfully chopped off by the Snow Goddess Sword perfectly. After three weeks of Lin Tian practicing Chong San's teaching swordsmanship, he finally managed to perfect it today.
With a gleeful face from successfully knocking down the tree in one fell, Lin Tian dashed quickly towards his teacher who as usual in the morning, sitting on a tree branch while humming.
"Teacher, I've mastered it. As you said, I am now able to cut a tree as tall as a human in one slash." with a wide smile Lin Tian said a little loudly so that his voice reached the pair of old ears.
"Uhh...are you mocking me? Even from down there you talk in a whisper, I can hear you, boy!" Chong San denounced as he stared intently at the disciple. Seeing this Lin Tian immediately clasped both hands together while bowing to apologize.
"You've mastered it? Good, but don't be happy. There's still another stage."
This remark clearly shocked Lin Tian's heart. As he remembered, as long as he trained in this swordsmanship, his sharp and watchful eyes were able to see that this was a swordsmanship that was not simple and quite difficult. Only because he was already well versed in swordsmanship was he able to master it within three weeks.
But now this grandpa says there's a next level? This made him surprised but also happy because he could get stronger even further.
"I assume you've memorized every move of that basic movement. Now watch this." Chong San picked up his bamboo stick and floated down.
As soon as both of his feet were on the ground, he immediately gleamed his sword with his butute stick. This time it was much more complicated and powerful.
Each of his movements brought forth a sharp wind that Lin Tian was able to feel. If Chong San had not used a bamboo weapon and restrained himself, Lin Tian's body would have been injured.
"Great..what is this sword science?" lin Tian muttered in astonishment.
A few minutes later, Chong San was done with his martial arts. In the last move, he tightened his two legs and then pushed his bamboo stick forward in a piercing motion.
"Wutt–Blarr!!"
There was a fierce wind coming from the end of the stick. A second later, a tree that was about three meters away from where he was standing broke instantly. Makes the tree fall apart.
"How, you see? Isn't it more complicated than yesterday.eh?" this grandfather wanted to ask if Lin Tian had already memorized his movements, yet was truly shocked and amazed at his heart when he saw this disciple already having a sparkle.
"Syutt–Syuut–Syuutt"
The air around Lin Tian let out a loud squeaking sound as the Snow Goddess Sword slashed at him fiercely. The sound produced from this sword slash was much more beautiful than using the slash of a stick.
This was the specialty of swordsmanship that Chong San had taught Lin Tian. In addition to containing a strong wind that always struck every time the sword slashed, the sound arising from the friction of the sword and air was also able to shake the heart of the opponent. Just because Lin Tian had not matured in his knowledge and Chong San had restrained himself, so the effect was not so strong.
"Shuutt–Braakk!!"
In the last move, Lin Tian tightened both legs and thrust his sword forward. A strong wind grabbed firmly and managed to hit the tree that was several steps ahead of him. Although not as strong as Chong San, but the effect is quite satisfying because it managed to hole the middle-striped tree trunk more or less like an adult.
Seeing this, the tip of Chong San's lips shot upwards. Feeling proud of the achievements of his students who immediately understood the essence of silat in just one glance. He unconsciously spoke alone in his heart.
"Truly the White Dragon, there's no mistake. Here's the guy..."
While Lin Tian himself felt shocked by the results of his actions. Indeed he was aware that his movements were not as good and beautiful as Chong San, but it was never suspected that in just one experiment, he was able to hole a tree from such a long distance.
"This is really a really great teacher!! What is the name of this swordsmanship? In retrospect, I have not known his name at all since the first time of training." cried Lin Tian with a curious look.
"The White Lotus Sword Science."
"Huh?"
In the past, he felt that he had betrayed the Zhang family because he had mastered the science of Inner Peace. But now, he was even halfway to mastering another sacred book.
Noticing the look of change on Lin Tian's face, Chong San immediately connected.
"Just calm down, the Cin family won't be hostile towards you. You must have known about swordsmanship, right?"
"Yes but...I know the movement is much different than what you taught?"
"Hahahaha.this is actually the original White Lotus swordsmanship. Whereas what you saw at the headquarters of the Lotus Flower Society was not this swordsmanship, but the swordsmanship of the society. After all, Cin Kok must not trust you so much as a new person, that he misleads you a little."
Lin Tian's eyes bulged wide, if he had been fooled. But instead of getting angry, Lin Tian instead felt relieved because Cin Kok was very loyal to guarding the White Lotus swordsmanship.
"Why did you teach me that science? Only the descendants of the Cin family should be able to learn it!" said Lin Tian a little unacceptable.
"Don't think about things that don't matter. One day you will also know why I taught you this science. Now keep practicing, I'll go for a while to the woods to look for something."
Without waiting for Lin Tian's answer to open his mouth, Chong San immediately went into the forest with the science of running fast like flying. Making Lin Tian gawk in awe at the cleverness of his teacher.
"Well, he looks like he's even better than the granddad."
...****************...
"Shelf!!"
"Brakk!!"
"Brakk!"
I don't know how many tree trunks Lin Tian had successfully hollowed out. And if considered more carefully, the hole in each tree trunk has a different shape.
From one tree to another the shape is always changing. From small to large, even every time Lin Tian shot out an inner force from the tip of his sword, as a result the hole became smoother than the hole in the tree before. This meant that at all times Lin Tian's level of mastery over that stance continued to increase.
Until sora before then Lin Tian stopped because of exhaustion. Less than half an hour since Lin Tian had rested, only then did Chong San return from the forest.
"Oh, teacher, welcome back." greet Lin Tian as he stood up.
Chong San did not hear Lin Tian's words, instead focusing his gaze on the hollow trees. His mouth rattled in admiration many times witnessing the actions of his disciple.
"Good good, is this all you?" this question was only answered by a brief nod by Lin Tian.
"Hahaha.indeed I don't seem to choose the wrong person. Now eat the leaves and fruits of these medicines and you will progress. Well, take it..take it..." Chong San thrust a sizable bundle at Lin Tian. The young man just accepted it while saying.
"Thank you, teacher..."
"You don't want to see it in it?"
"I'm sure the teacher will do what's best for me."
"Good, now quickly spend it to help your progress!"
...ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ...
