The Legend Of Lightning Warriors
Becoming a Student of Legend
In the cave, after three days of unconsciousness, the boy finally realized. When he woke up he looked confused, the boy thought before that he had died from a red tiger attack.
"Where am I? Wasn't I about to be eaten by that red tiger? Am I currently in the realm of death?" he mumbled in confusion.
The boy got up from his bed, but when he was about to look left-right, he felt a pain in his back. "Ahhhh .." she complained of pain.
"Actually where am I? If I were already in the realm of death, there was no way I would feel this kind of pain right? This pain came from the scar of the red tiger's bite," he muttered as he grabbed his hair in great confusion.
Shortly after that appeared an old man in all-white clothes. His body was clad in flashes of lightning. He was about 340 years old, but because his knowledge was so high he looked like he was only 60 years old.
The old man walked over from behind the boy, he continued to approach him unnoticed. After getting close enough to the boy, the old man immediately spoke to him.
"Calm down young man, you're not dead. Right now you are in the forbidden cave, this cave is my home for the past hundreds of years," said the old man softly plus a warm smile.
"Sorry, whose senior? Then the senior who saved me from the red tiger? Why did senior save me?" ask the child who does not understand the current situation.
"Include me, I'm Lao Yi, people used to call me Thunder Swordsman. Yeah right, what saved you is arguably me. I saved you because it was fate" Lao Yi explained who she was as she walked over to him.
"Thunder Swordsman? Destiny? Mean senior? I'm sorry I haven't been able to understand senior's intentions, because I live on the edge of this forest. So there's not much I know apart from this forest," the boy tried to explain who he really was.
The old man nodded his head in understanding, then said, "Alright I'll explain it to you. I am the Thunder Swordsman, who is often referred to by the public as one of the legends, it is me. I saved you because you were destined to continue my journey as a warrior tasked with fighting evil on earth" the old man who called himself the Thunder Swordsman explained.
After hearing the explanation from the Thunder Swordsman, the boy was immediately frightened and saluted.
"Please senior, forgive me for not knowing about you being so legendary," he was about to prostrate a sign of apology, but the Thunder Swordsman immediately held him back. "It doesn't have to be like this young man."
"What's your name? Do you still have parents?" ask the Thunder Swordsman.
"Include my name Shin Shui, my parents were killed by members of the Dark Skull sect" the boy named Shin Shui explained with a grieving look covered in vengeance.
"Hmmm, what a name. Sorry I didn't know before. Are you ready for your destiny? Being a swordsman and quelling evil," the Thunder swordsman asked in a serious tone to Shin Shui.
"If indeed it is the destiny that the heavens gave me, I am senior ready," Shin Shui replied respectfully.
"Good, then rest another two days. I'll be back here later, in two days your wounds will be fully recovered," said the Thunder Swordsman who instantly disappeared from Shin Shui's sight.
"Where is the Thunder Swordsman? It's going fast." Shin Shui muttered in confusion as well as in awe of the Thunder Swordsman.
Still feeling tired, Shin Shui decided to take a break. He soon fell asleep too.
###
Two days had passed, Sin Shui was waiting for the arrival of the Thunder Swordsman within the cave. He sat down while eating the fruits brought by the Thunder Swordsman when he met a few days ago.
Before long, the Thunder Swordsman came. As per his promise, now he would raise Shin Shui to become a disciple to continue his duties. The wound on Shin Shui's shoulder had already disappeared completely. So, he was already preparing to face the test of the Thunder Swordsman.
"Are you ready to be my student and ready to receive the hard training I'm going to teach you?" asked the Thunder Swordsman to Shin Shui.
"I'm ready senior," Shin Shui replied.
"Murid saluted the teacher." Shin Shui saluted his teacher by prostrating three times.
After Shin Shui was raised to become a Thunder Swordsman disciple, the rumbling sounds of thunder and thunder grabbed the cave three times as a sign that Shin Shui was officially his disciple.
"From Shui'er, follow me," said Lao Yi.
"Good teacher." replied Shin Shui.
The two of them walked into Goa. The deeper the cave is not the narrower, but the wider. Goa was like a forest that was tens of kilometers wide.
They continued to walk through the forest in the cave, both of them only stopped when they arrived in the middle of a very creepy forest, there was a cave wide enough surrounded by large trees.
"You're going to practice here. This place is called 'The Forest of Death'. Now we are in another dimension in the prohibition cave" said Lao Yi.
"Hu-hutan Death teacher?" Shin Shui immediately shuddered in horror hearing that.
"Yes, this forest is called the Forest of Death, is there a problem of Shui'er?" ask Lao Yi.
"Emmm .. no teacher, it's just that I suddenly goosebumps just hearing his name," Shin Shui was terrified.
"Hahahaha .. Calm down Shui'er, I won't let you die," Lao Yi chuckled at seeing Shin Shui so frightened.
"Good teacher, I understand," Shin Shui said nervously. Although he actually did not dare, but what can do. He was afraid of his teacher, let alone him saving his life.
"That's my new student. Now you run around this forest five times, after that you lift the stone and surround the forest three times. Then you beat up the three trees in front of you until you could leave a trail of blows there. Don't stop if the trail of your punch is not on that tree," the Thunder Swordsman explained the training Shin Shui would undergo.
"Teacher, are you going to train me or torture me?" shin Shui asked, his fear grew even more when he was told of his training methods.
"Follow my rules Shui'er. Trust me, you're not gonna die. And I won't let you die either. Once again you spoke like this, hmmm ..." the gaze of the Thunder Swordsman's eyes instantly turned sharp and cold to Shin Shui.
Seeing his teacher's expression change drastically instantly made Shin Shui break out in a cold sweat.
"Good teacher. I will, I will not disappoint you," Shin Shui pretended to be brave in front of Lao Yi, even though his heart was the exact opposite of the statement just now.
"good. Strengthen your resolve Shui'er. So that one day you can avenge your parents who have been killed by the Dark Skull sect" said Lao Yi cheering Shin Shui.
"Well teacher, the student begs to start practicing." hearing his teacher's words, Shin Shui instantly burned a burning grudge. His feelings became turbulent when remembering the death of his parents.
After his disciple left, the Thunder Swordsman also went looking for resources and stealth gems for Shin Shui.
"My only hope is you Shui'er. May you be my successor and exceed my abilities. I will help you increase your physical and inner strength quickly. All the exercises I've given you may be hard, but someday you'll find out why." Lao Yi muttered to herself while looking at Shin Shui's departure.
After Shin Shin was already out of sight, Lao Yi flew into the forest to hunt down the stealth gems and search for resources.
Inside the forbidden cave dimension precisely in the Deathly Forest, searching for resources and stealth gems was not difficult. Within his forest there were countless demons as well as rare resources to help the development of a swordsman very quickly. The deeper into the forest, the more resources and gems will be obtained.
