Although it looked tough, Wu Yi Feng understood that it was only the mask that Xiao Chen used when he was in front of him. Often he steals to see the boy crying one night.
Wu Yi Feng deliberately pretended not to know because he really wanted to give time for Xiao Chen to take out all the burdens that were in his heart.
"Cry, which is harsh if necessary.. Take out all the burdens in your chest, even if you need to, you can hit me.." Wu Yi Feng said softly one night when he heard Xiao Chen cry again.
"Teacher.. Ii'm sorry.. Hixss.. Hikkss..." Xiao Chen cleaned up the rest of his tears using his sleeves.
Wu Yi Feng patted Xiao Chen on the chest to ease his sadness, he invited the little boy to sit together by the campfire before starting to tell him, "My childhood was no better than yours.. Lucky for you to still have a brother.. But I have to face the harshness of this world alone.." Wu Yi Feng turned his face upwards, tonight the sky was so bright, the clouds seemed to disappear and made the stars visible.
"As a man, in this harsh world we must have a strong determination. Even if that determination is a vengeance.." Exclaimed Wu Yi Feng, again - again the young man looked up, he began to doubt whether he was sharing his personal experience or was giving a message.
After all, it was revenge that had been the fuel to ignite the fire in his chest. Revenge also seemed to give more encouragement to him to stay alive and become strong. Wu Yi Feng smiled to himself as he felt that he had given a wrong wudge to the plain brat beside him.
"Teacher, I am ready to start training at any time..!!!" Xiao Chen half-cried.
"Well then, now rest because tomorrow morning you will miss your sleep tonight.." Wu Yi Feng replied with a slight smile that spread across his lips.
"Good teacher..." Xiao Chen immediately got up to his feet and walked towards his bedbed. Tonight the air is not too cold, it is very fitting to be used to rest.
Wu Yi Feng chose to lean his body against a tree and meditate until dawn. Xiao Chen had apparently woken up from his sleep and was seen squeezing his bed.
"How did you sleep??" Wu Yi Feng greeted Xiao Chen who looked very busy.
"Guister's good cheer.." He answered while folding his bed into a small square shape before giving it to Wu Yi Feng to be stored inside the space ring.
Speaking of space rings, Wu Yi Feng remembered that he had taken four space rings from the robbers, and after he checked apparently the two among them belonged to Xiao Chen's father and mother.
Wu Yi Feng deliberately kept it for him to return to his elder brother Xiao Chen's guardian when they later arrived at Xiao Chen's residence. As for the remaining two rings belonging to the robbers, Wu Yi Feng simply took the most of his treasure and threw away the useless rings.
"Eat this first.." For the sake of smoothing the training, Wu Yi Feng had been giving Xiao Chen stealth meat intake since the past few days. Of course with a portion that is not much, because stealth meat is so hard especially on the body of an ordinary human who does not have a circle of energy at all.
"Now try to go down the river many times while carrying two stones in both hands.. It'll work your balance out.." Wu Yi Feng shouted while pointing at the river not far from where they had spent the night.
"Good teacher.." Xiao Chen immediately took out two stones of medium size with balanced size and weight.
Wu Yi Feng was aware, with the current age of Xiao Chen it should have been too late to start forming swordsmen bodies. Because generally they have started practicing when they are five years old.
But being late did not mean being ugly or left behind, with the method that Wu Yi Feng gave, he was sure that Xiao Chen would soon form his swordsman body and begin to learn the basics of martial arts.
"Enough.. Rest your body.. Today's practice is done here.." Exclaimed Wu Yi Feng who saw Xiao Chen had been bathed in sweat.
"But teacher, I feel like I can still continue for a few rounds.." Replied Xiao Chen who felt unsatisfied with his training portion.
"Forcing yourself and forgetting about rest actually has a bad impact on your body.." It was clearly Wu Yi Feng while dividing the demon flesh that he had just burnt.
By then the sun was almost setting, both of them enjoying dinner in silence. Xiao Chen felt that his energy was replenished after eating the dishes that his teacher had prepared.
"Teacher, if I may ask what exactly is this meat? Why do I feel my body becoming refreshed after eating it.."
"Hundred-year-old stealth meat.."
"Apppaaaaa..?? Weeeekkkk..." Xiao Chen spewed out the meat that was in his mouth.
"Silver meat has a very beneficial energy content, especially for those who want to build the foundation of their bodies.. That's why stealth meat is so expensive, a piece of meat like the one you threw out just now could have a price of 10 to 100 gold coins, depending on the age of the demon.."
Xiao Chen could only be speechless after Wu Yi Feng explained about the benefits of consuming stealth meat, a second later without being told the boy took back the piece of meat he had thrown away, regardless of clean or dirty, he said, Xiao Chen immediately devoured his flesh with tears that began to pool at the corner of his eye sieve.
"I'm sorry, teacher.. I'm sorry.." Lirih.
"Here you go, finish your meat and drink this.." Wu Yi Feng gave him a small bottle of body-strengthening herbs and also a grain of basic energy formation pills.
