The Ghost of Fog
Chapters 180. True Swordsman
Lin Tian smacked both of his hands onto one of the tree trunks without any exertion in the slightest. The result really made him astonished, in just three strokes, the tree trunk had already shot inward for about thirty inches. For the size of an ordinary hand that is without power in the slightest, this is already quite great.
"Teacher, what exactly did you give me?" Lin Tian exclaimed in astonishment.
"Oh, it's just fruit and ordinary leaves."
"Obsolutely from where?" Lin Tian again looked at his sizable punch marks in that. "If it's a regular fruit and vegetable, how could I possibly make something like this with just ordinary hands?"
"That's all ordinary plants. The ordinary plants that were at the peak." he replied with a calm expression as he pointed at one of the mountain peaks that made Lin Tian stand up dumbstruck.
All this time Lin Tian had indeed felt astonished by the mountain peak. How not, the top of the mountain was like not a mountain peak, but pointed like a spearhead.
Even he had thought that no one would be able to climb the mountain to the top, but his teacher had just said that he took all of it from there!
"Why? You surprised? If you finish your training with me, I'm sure even the younger you will be able to get to the top. Even with a little effort." Chong San said as soon as he noticed the change in Lin Tian's expression.
"Then, how much longer until my training is over?"
"Maybe tomorrow, or the day after, or a few more days or at most three weeks. I'm sure it won't be long. And for the last task, I'll have you climb that peak." the old man looked back at the spiky mountain top.
"The last lesson I'm going to teach you is about the science of lightening the body. According to your nickname, which is a ghost, you should be able to move fast. But what I've seen all this time is still very slow" he said as he pointed at Lin Tian with the tip of his wand.
"Your mind lightens your body fast enough for most people. But in my eyes, you're still the same as everyone else. It looks clear and too obvious." he continued a little reproachfully.
Lin Tian was shocked to also hear this explanation. He felt that all this time the science of lightening his body was quite proficient because not many could match it except the martial grandmasters. But this grandpa said he was still slow? Does that mean that he is stronger than the grandfathers of kosen.
Nervously he asked, "L-then how's that fast teacher?"
"Like this."
"What!!?" Lin Tian exclaimed in shock because suddenly his teacher was already sitting on the stone that was behind the grandfather.
His movements were extraordinary and beyond reason. It was like disappearing because Lin Tian couldn't see any trace of his movement even just his brilliance was invisible.
"Why? You surprised? This is what is called the science of lightening the body."
"Teacher.but that's not human..."
"Oh, I just realized. From a young age you've lived in the South, haven't you? It's only fitting that you are not very familiar with the magic of the people of the North."
Lin Tian had already heard a lot about the warriors of the Northern region. Just like the Silat World King who according to Zhang Hongli was all from the North. But he did not know well with the Northern warrior.
Before Lin Tian asked, Chong San had already replied, "In this South, finding the swordsman's whereabouts was just like searching for grass in a garden. Very much even every time it turned its eyes away, only the grass was visible. There are too many warriors in this South to the extent that everyone knows it."
"But in the North, the warrior's existence is like a golden piece of gem. Very rare and once met should not be made to play. If you want to know, the current Silat World King might have only one-fifth of his original strength back then. They were really horrible!" he continued to explain.
"For the Zhang family itself which belongs to the swordsman family, they are not so strong because only warriors rely on inner strength alone. If it's either in the North or the South the same, a lot. Only the difference in the North might be a little stronger."
For this latter explanation, it managed to leave Lin Tian shocked. Don't all warriors rely on inner strength? Her thought. So he immediately asked.
"Did the warrior in the North not use inner power as the main force?"
"Of course, it still uses deep energy. For those who relied solely on inner power as the main force like the Zhang family and the others, they were called ordinary warriors. But what I meant from earlier was a true swordsman. They are not only good at using internal energy, but also proficient in processing magic air. Just like the four sacred books, most likely, no human being can master the four books perfectly except the first owner of the book. Because of the four books, to perfect it must use the magic."
"What, hawa sakti? What'sthat?"
"Suppose is just like the power within but stronger. If you want to know why the original power of the four books only belongs to the first owner, it's because the difficulty of the four books is out of bounds. So they simplified the four books and taught them to use the power in a hereditary manner."
"That's it, for good luck, I'll teach you next time. Right now you have to learn the science of lightening the body first." cut this grandfather quickly as soon as he saw the change in expression of Lin Tian who seemed happy to hear information about the magic air.
"One more question teacher, where did the true warriors go so that they could be likened to a very rare gold jewel? Then is teacher Zhang Hongli also able to master the magic air?"
"True riders all choose to isolate themselves from the crowded world. They do have a strange nature. Once you learn the magic and your magic increases considerably, maybe you become as strange as they are. For your teacher, he was able to master the magic air but only a little and not perfect. But you know for yourself, even if it's not perfect, he could be the King of the Silat World."
He said as he "disappeared" again and suddenly was already standing before Lin Tian.
"From today on, I'll teach you how to play the White Lotus Sword together with the body-lightening science I call the Lightning Steps."
