The Legend of the Eternal Warrior
Basic Technique of Holding a Dagger

Realizing that there was someone else, Lei Tian immediately approached the person to confirm it. For some time cultivating new now he felt the air of one's presence.

Although Lei Tian did not feel any threat but he was also unable to sense at all the strength of the old-looking person. Lei Tian stepped closer to approach the old man who was not far away from him.

In a few jumps, he managed to get closer to the old man.

“Nak, are you from the Red Dagger Sect?” asked the old man starting the encounter with Lei Tian.

The clothes that Lei Tian was currently wearing were maroon-colored uniforms that were the hallmark of the Red Dagger Sect.

“True grandfather, if I may know who this grandfather is?” lei Tian asked politely.

“Call Grandpa Song, I am also from the Red Dagger Sect, only at this age I have no important activities. Sometimes I just keep quiet here while remembering the moments of youth” replied the man who in his hand there are some fish.

“Are you catching fish?” lei Tian asked who was looking at some quite large fish.

“True, do you want to feel the river fish of Mount Bishou?” the old man tried to look familiar.

“Mau” replied Lei Tian without hesitation.

“By the way what is your name?” asked Elder Song casually.

“My name is Lei Tian, I am a new student here” Lei Tian replied straightforwardly.

“Good name, what are you doing in a place like this?” asked Elder Song pretending not to know.

“I was training martial arts techniques, but a few days ago I had an accident and was forced to postpone the plan” Lei Tian said with a calm expression.

“Owh..” Elder Song said as he nodded his head.

In his heart, Elder Song was pleased with Lei Tian's honesty. Usually someone will cover as much as possible related to closed activities.

“Have you caught fish in this river so often?” lei Tian asked curiously.

“Quite often too, in this place fish more than anywhere else” Elder Song replied while cleaning fish.

“Grandfather, let me just clean it” said Lei Tian while offering himself.

“Please” replied Elder Song.

After obtaining the approval from Elder Song, Lei Tian immediately took out the dagger he had just obtained from his storage ring. Elder Song was quite interested in the dagger that was in Lei Tian's hands.

“Did you choose the dagger yourself?” ask Elder Song then.

“This bathe I got from my uncle, and only this time also I use it” said Lei Tian honestly.

For a while Lei Tian cleaned the fish, Elder Song then said.

“Please pay attention to the way you hold the dagger. To hold the dagger, you must make sure that the dagger you use feels comfortable and fits you. When holding the dagger, you must give a floating sensation to the thumb and index finger.

Keep our middle fingers from feeling tight or loose and tighten our ring and pinky fingers. A casual grip is a way of grasping the wrong, you have to pull out the dagger with the intention of slashing down the opponent. While doing so, you should hold the dagger in such a way that there is no change in your grip or the possibility of the hand not going to slip into an uncontrollable position.

No matter what the position, be it holding, fending, attacking, or pressing the opponent's sword, you can only slightly move your thumb and index finger.

“The other most important thing besides how to hold a dagger is the effectiveness of the movement and the perfection of the movement both to attack and defend, free if your movement is good but still has a gap”, Elder Song said with a serious expression.

Lei Tian was surprised by the understanding he had just gained from the old geezer who was in front of him, if only he knew that he was actually dealing with an Elder then Lei Tian could be said to be the luckiest outer disciple.

Even the top ten ranked disciples alone were not enough to get Elder Song's attention, yet Lei Tian had gotten the teachings for nothing.

Lei Tian immediately followed the direction from Elder Song, there was a significant difference to the grip pattern he had previously done.

“Grandfather Song, thank you for the teaching” Lei Tian said respectfully.

“Hahaha.. You need not hesitate, this kind of thing is basic knowledge in the Red Dagger Sect. It's just that some people start to ignore the technique, they tend to use techniques following swordsmanship. Though the dagger is a deadly weapon in close combat” Elder Song said.

Lei Tian seriously listened to the words of Elder Song, he did not miss a single word. Although Elder Song looked ordinary, Lei Tian was now convinced that Elder Song was not as simple as he had seen.

Elder Song was quite pleased with Lei Tian's humble demeanor so that he could easily digest the words he had just spoken. In addition Elder Song could also easily see Lei Tian's response in applying his words. Now Lei Tian had already made a dagger-grasping move like what he had taught earlier.

While burning the fish, Lei Tian regained some more knowledge regarding the technique of using the dagger. But now he was increasingly convinced by his choice to choose the Fire Fist Technique, while for the Illusory body he would read it later that night while in his residence.

Lei Tian ate voraciously after a few days of not eating, although a true cultivator could survive without eating and drinking yet Lei Tian was still a novice cultivator. Moreover, he is also 15 years old, still in the age of growth and development.

After he finished eating, he intended to continue his training plan.

“Grandfather Song, I beg your permission to practice back” Lei Tian said politely.

“Please continue, I will see your movements if you don't mind” Elder Song said.

“Of course I can, instead I want to ask for some pointers from the Fire Boxing Technique that I will practice”, Lei Tian said in earnest.

Elder Song was quite shocked by the Fire Fist Technique that Lei Tian had just said.

"The more interesting.." he murmured inwardly.

Lei Tian then closed his eyes, recalling some movements he had previously recorded in his memory. His previous shortcomings also he observed well such as the distribution of energy in containing karekteristic.

Although at this time he did not know the potential of his inner energy but he could feel if what was inside him had flowed an enormous power.
