THE LEGEND OF YIN
9.LASTEST TRAINING

When Yin Hao lay in his room, he tried to forget what he had heard from his teacher's conversation with a mysterious man before, because according to Yin Hao it was none of his business.

'No matter how many people want to kill me. I will still move forward and no matter whether the path I take is good or evil, because I will judge it myself.'Inner Yin Hao, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

****

At midnight, Yin Hao woke up in a state of shock after dreaming about the death of his teacher caused by a terrible war.

'It turned out to be just a dream. Looks like it'll be good to breathe fresh air..."

Yin Hao got out of his bed and walked out of the house. After being outside, Yin Hao looked at the sky while inhaling a deep breath then let it out.

"Phew... Since it's already outside, there's no harm in going to the forest to look around,"

Yin Hao walked down the path that led to the back of his house. The road will lead him to the hill behind his house.

During the trip, the sounds of crickets and other animals waking up at night accompanied Yin Hao's footsteps.

In the distance almost encompassed the entire forest there, Yin Hao who used the ability of the devil's eyes did not see any stealth animal movements.

"It's appropriate that all animals be calm and so noisy tonight. It turned out that the result of killing hundreds of demons I had done before, made this forest a safe place to live for ordinary animals. But there is also a point of imbalance due to my actions. Because if there is not a single stealth animal left, then there is nothing else that will protect rare plants, so people can be as good as taking wild plants without having to fear stealth animals...

"I don't know if what I'm doing is the best way or not, I can just keep moving forward without looking back and regretting what happened like a fool."

After walking for a long time. Finally Yin Hao reached the top of the hill, from there he could see a bright glimmer of light behind the hill far ahead.

"Is there another life ? Why does the teacher forbid me to hang out with so many people ? Should I not be as happy as others ? Could this be my destiny, but why should I bear all these burdens ?? What's my fault ??"

Yin Hao always wondered to himself, why since childhood he was always forbidden to feel happy or angry, even his teacher always limited the place that Yin Hao could go.

In the end all of this only made Yin Hao feel confined. Unhappy yet also not angry, it was in this world that Yin Hao lived.

Despite feeling dislike, Yin Hao still accepted his destiny and lived it even though he would not.

********

The next morning. Yin Hao returned home, greeted by Ling Qian who was seen standing in the courtyard holding a real sword.

"Where have you been ?"

Yin Hao bowed and saluted his teacher as he said."I'm from the hill behind the house."

Ling Qian threw an ordinary sword at Yin Hao. Yin Hao immediately greeted the sword in a daze, after a moment of noticing the sword in his hand then he understood.

With a flat countenance of having no other expression, Yin Hao looked at his teacher."Teacher, is this..."

"True, today is your last training. If you succeed in killing me, you're free to go and do what you want."

Yin Hao bowed doubtfully as he stared at the sword in both of his hands. After many years of time with his teacher, he could not bear to hurt his teacher even if freedom was his wish.

"I can't."

Without further ado Ling Qian darted forward while unsheathing her sword.

Although Ling Qian was only an ordinary human, the speed at which the female possessed was still so high that it could force Yin Hao to use his sword to defend against her teacher's attack.

"Teacher, stop, I can't."

Yin Hao tried to make Ling Qian stop at all costs.

However the woman remained vigorously attacking him, so Yin Hao could only withstand his teacher's attacks while continuing to move backwards in not wanting to hurt Ling Qian.

"You don't know anything about the outside world, you don't know how dangerous humans are out there.."

Ling Qian continued to attack Yin Hao while talking like that in a sad sounding tone.

Yin Hao who saw the forced expression of his teacher could only fall silent and continue to endure even though his body was already injured everywhere.

"Out there are times when you will meet evil-minded people. When you see injustice out there, do you think you can hold back your emotions ?"

Slowly Yin Hao then began to understand with the purpose Ling Qian said like that.

Because actually Ling Qian wanted to see if Yin Hao had already completely absorbed the learning into a taoist or not.

"Emotion is only a barrier. A taoist does not move from emotions, but rather the desire to help selflessly,"

"Yin and Yang is the imbalance between forces. Are you able to survive under the imbalance between the two ?"

Yin Hao bit by bit pushed forward Ling Qian and answered all his questions.

"In the world of Taoists. Yin is a human being, while Yang is a sword. With a sword in hand, I will balance the unbalanced."

Ling Qian started to smile lightly when she realized that Yin Hao was starting to understand her point.

Ling Qian also began to feel difficulty holding back Yin Hao's attacks that were as calm as water without the slightest emotion.

"You are but a child who is presented with thousands of difficulties. Was at that moment a snot boy like you able to survive ?"

"Thousands of trouble are just illusions. It was not the encouragement or praise that kept me going, but the desire to get better. Because I'm a Taoist."

In his last words Yin Hao managed to repel Ling Qian to the point of making her almost fall.

Ling Qian who was already unable to fight said."What are you waiting for, kill me. Don't you really want to see the outside world ?"

"I'd rather die than kill you,"

Instead of raising his sword to kill Ling Qian. Yin Hao pointed the tip of his sword at his own heart, at which time Ling Qian immediately shot forward and stopped Yin Hao.

"You graduated,"
