THE LEGEND OF YIN
13.FIRST STUDENT

Night at Yin's residence. The atmosphere in the dining room felt more lively with the presence of Yin Hao among the family, making them feel happy.

"Add more, let's eat a lot. My wife's been cooking this much food, so we're gonna have to spend it."

Li Chung placed the many side dishes into Yin Hao's plate, feeling that the young man had eaten too little.

While Yin Hao was only silent, he did not refuse at all out of respect for Li Chung and his family.

"By the way the healer, which city are you from ?"

"I come from a village not far from this town. But lord Chu, I am not a physician, but a taoist."

Li Chung was silent for a moment after hearing the statement that Yin Hao had said, because he had previously thought that the young man was a healer because he was so adept at treating someone.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were a healer because you were so good at treating people, I didn't think you were an exorcist."

"No, I can't say I'm too adept because I still have so many flaws."

Li Chung chuckled and said.

"You like crocheting. But rarely does an exorcist have the medicinal ability as great as you, even the number of those with medicinal abilities can be counted with the fingers."

"You're too complimentary, Mr. Chu. The medicinal abilities I have now are the result of the exercises I have been doing for several years. I mean, anyone can be great if they want to practice."

"That's right ! I concur. Everyone can be great if they want to be better. By the way after from this city, where else are you going ?"

"To be honest until now I haven't thought about it. There's a big problem waiting for me, but I don't know how to solve it yet. Anyway, I don't really know any place around here, it's wrong I could get lost."

Seeing that golden opportunity, Li-Chung immediately muttered in his mind."It would be a great fortune for my family if I could tie the knot with someone as great as him. I'm sure this person will be a great person in the future, it would be good for me to have a relationship with him earlier than others."

Li Chung looked at Yin Hao with a friendly smile, then said.

"Does that mean you need a friend who can guide you ? If true, I suggest you go along with my son Li Ming. He knows all the places on this continent, because he travels with me often. But in exchange, can you teach him to be a swordsman ?"

"Dad !!"Li Ming was shocked to hear his father's words, causing his face to turn red with embarrassment.

Yin Hao paused for a moment to think. According to him, taking Li Ming away was very dangerous, but the problem could be solved by training him.

Moreover, Yin Hao desperately needed a friend who could deliver him to the upper continent, of course this was a good opportunity for him.

After pondering for a moment to consider the matter, Yin Hao finally opened his voice.

"It's no problem for me to teach Li Ming. The problem is whether he can absorb the training I gave him or not. If not, then I won't take her. No offense, master Chu must know the reason I say this."

Li Chung nodded slowly and said."I-i understand. If my son is unable to absorb the training you have given him, then taking him is the same as bringing my daughter to death. Is my answer correct ?"

"Fright on.."

Yin Hao looked towards Li Ming who was sitting next to Li Chung.

"Well, miss Ming. Do you think you can absorb the learning from my training ?"

Li Ming paused for a moment to think, then replied."It doesn't hurt me to try. I'm pretty sure you really need a guide. An opportunity like this is impossible for you to pass by, right ? It means we're on each other's side in this."

Yin Hao nodded."You turned out to be pretty smart. Then get ready, tomorrow we'll start."

Li Ming became very happy about it, making it impatient to quickly go to sleep.

After eating. Yin Hao was escorted to his room by Li Chung.

"Now this room is your room. It's not too fancy, but I hope you can understand it."

Yin Hao could only fall silent expressionlessly looking at the vast room before him. Not believing that the room was as large as a room, because if measured then the room in front of him was twice as large as the room Yin Hao used to be.

"This room is very luxurious for me. Thank you, Mr. Chu, sorry for bothering you."

Li Chung patted Yin Hao on the back while laughing."You are too proud young master Hao. I'm so grateful to be back breathing and to be with my family, all this thanks to your invaluable help."

"Don't think too much. It's appropriate for me to help my fellow humans."

"You're very kind. Then I say goodbye first. Please enjoy your rest."

Yin Hao nodded. Soon Li Chung left the place unwilling to disturb Yin Hao's time off.

"I didn't expect that my destiny would be this sweet because of that person's presence, just imagining it made me impatient to wait until tomorrow and quickly train with him."

Being too happy to imagine the sweet things of her being with Yin Hao. Throughout the night Li Ming did not sleep and continued to roll right and left while giggling to himself.

Morning in the courtyard of Li's extended family home. Yin Hao and Li Ming were seen standing under the scorching sun as it was about to begin training, but when looking at Li Ming's condition, Yin Hao felt a little doubt that today would go according to his plan.

"What's with the dark circles around your eyelids. Did you stay up last night ?"

With a disheveled face and looking limp, Li Ming said."Last night there were a lot of mosquitoes, making me sleepless."

Li Ming quibbled that it would be even more embarrassing for him to admit that he had actually been imagining Yin Hao all night.

"I doubt that you can practice like that,"

Li Ming smiled confidently while revealing his meager arm muscles.

"Just calm down ! A little heat won't hurt me."

"If you insist, then I can't do anything. Alright, there was a little question from me before we started training today...

"Miss Ming, have you ever studied martial arts before ? Please answer honestly, so I know where to start teaching you."

Li Ming shook his head."I've never studied martial arts before,"

"alright. Then I will teach you the basics of martial arts techniques using swords."

Yin Hao took out two wooden swords from the empty air. Making Li Ming who was paying attention to her instantly startled.

"That thing came out of empty air ?"

"Don't think too much. Now take this sword and follow my moves."

Li Ming nodded and took out a single wooden sword from Yin Hao's hand.

Yin Hao then stood beside Li Ming, then showed him how to hold the sword properly if using both hands.

"Is it like this ?"Li Ming tried to match his way of holding the sword as Yin Hao had applied.

"Yes, go on."

Yin Hao walked around Li Ming to look for fault in the position of the girl's body.

When he saw the gap, Yin Hao immediately hit Li Ming's right foot quite firmly using a twig as he saw the mistake there.

"The right foot is slightly forward, while the left foot remains in its original position."

Li Ming immediately did what Yin Hao said, then both of his hands were hit back with twigs.

"Thank you both hands a little higher. Right like that, now look at this.."

Then Yin Hao applied a very simple move. This movement Yin Hao called the technique of splitting the sky, because the sword used only needs to be swung from above and stopped when in the front of the body.

Li Ming who could instantly recall the move on the first try, immediately felt confident."This technique is too simple, can't you teach another technique ?"

Yin Hao folded his hands in front of his chest, then explained.

"This movement is indeed very simple and seems ancient. But if done correctly, it will be a very deadly technique with a long range. This technique is also very useful for training your arm muscles."

"It turns out so..."

"Don't stop. Repeat, do 100 times as punishment for the previous protest."

"What !? You're crazy, don't be so strict with beginners like me."

"Do it 200 times. If I still protest I'll add."

"..."- ".Li Ming's words got stuck in his throat. Actually he wanted to protest but was afraid if his training was added, so he could only stay still and do the movement repeatedly with bulging cheeks.

"Don't stop if you haven't reached 200 moves. I will go inside first to make pills and medicine for you. In the afternoon, you'll help me treat the other residents."
