The Sky Dragon Swordsman
#171. Maruka Township
Maruka was sitting on a rock right at the mouth of the cave when two ten-year-old children with swords grazed at the waist ran small towards her.
"We keep the teacher's promise." said the two children in unison while saluting when he arrived before Maruka.
Maruka did not reply or salute the two children, but instead walked up to the two and held the hands of the two children.
"Hmm. not too bad..! " muruka muttered making the two children look at each other because they did not understand what Maruka meant.
"Now follow me..!! " maruka took the two children to a small shallow water river.
Maruka then ordered Xiao Yan and Guan Yu to run down the river where the water was knee-deep against the current.
Day after day Maruka trained the physical strength of the two children and always returned at night.. but Maruka can always eliminate the boredom of the two children by showing her abilities that make the two children amazed.
Emperor Xiao Feng and general Guan Dong were suspicious of their sons - each of whom went hunting every day without a bodyguard.
The incident of the disappearance of the crown prince and son Guan Dong the other day - arriving back in their respective rooms - actually raises a big question to their parents but Xiao Yan and Guan Yu, who remained steadfastly hiding what they had experienced, had the emperor order a swordsman to watch over the two from afar.. because the thick fog had always arrived - it had suddenly appeared when Xiao Yan and Guan Yu entered the forest.
A year past the heavy physical forging with the ever-changing location of the exercise - change according to Maruka's will...the bodies of the two children look increasingly sturdy and far beyond children his age..
Emperor Xiao Feng and General Guan Dong were curious to see the growth of their children who were faster than their age as they ran out of sense to find out what the children had done them. Emperor Xiao Feng even ordered General Guan Dong to find out for himself what the two children were doing, but what the previous swordsman experienced was also experienced by General Guan Dong.
Finally, after almost a year of trying to investigate and fruitless.Emperor Xiao Feng decided to let the two children, because in the afternoon the two children always returned on time.
The days continued to change.Nearly ten years Xiao Yan and Guan Yu were training under Maruka's guidance and had already made it to the top of the sixth level swordsman.. the development of the two became very fast thanks to the potion - the potion of swordsman resources provided by Maruka from within her universe bracelet.
Until one day when the sun began to be golden yellow the sign will soon return to its plight.. Maruka called out to her two students who had just finished practicing while holding a book.
'Today exactly ten years ago since our meeting. and now I will ask you one more thing" said Maruka, playing the book in her hand.
"I cannot continue to guide you because you have to find your own way to become stronger.. "
"This book will compel you to become strong as soon as possible, because in the future, if your abilities do not develop, you will be killed because of this book.. " he swapped Maruka and handed the book to Xiao Yan.
"Kitab Dewa Naga Khayangan..?! " Xiao Yan read the old-fashioned shabby book cover.
"The book will be sought by many warriors.You must become stronger in order to protect it. " cried Maruka who had floated in the air and then darted away somewhere.
"Teacher Marukaaaaa....!! " chanted Xiao Yan and Guan Yu simultaneously.
"Basar grandpa is weird. We haven't even thanked him yet..!! " said Xiao Yan annoyed.
"She also did not even say where the prince was headed..!! " said Guan Yu lost his spirit.
"It is already almost dark.The day is almost dark.we must return immediately." Xiao Yan said a moment later with a trembling voice.
"Okay prince..!! " replied Guan Yu while wiping away the tears dripping from the corner of his eyes..

"Wait for the general...!! earlier you said the Khayangan Dragon God Book..??! " Chen Khu suddenly cut off Guan Yu's story and instantly broke his daydream of the past.
"Why brother Chen..? have you ever heard of the book..? " emperor Xiao Yan chimed.
"Can I see the book..?! " pinta Chen Khu
General Guan Yu then moved from his seat and headed to a secret room that was behind the meeting room. Guan Yu turned a ninety-degree statue then the large bookshelf before him separated into two pieces.. shortly after entering Guan Yu came out holding a book and handed it to Chen Khu.
Chen Khu's eyes glared as emperor Xiao Yan handed the book to him..
"Is it possible that there are two Dragon God Khayangan books in the world..?? " chhen Khu muttered as he received the book.
"There's two..?? brother Chen mean..?? " emperor Xiao Yan was surprised to hear Chen Khu's remark.
"I still doubt.. Can I see the contents..? " ask Chen Khu, and emperor Shun Zhi nods in his favor.
"Sama... is exactly the same" said Chen Khu, not believing what he saw after opening the book sheet by sheet...and made Xiao Yan and Guan Yu look at each other feeling confused by what Chen Khu said.
" It's just that. "the words of Chen Khu came to a halt when they reached the end of the book of the Dragon God Khayangan.
"What exactly is Brother Chen..?? Guan Yu was puzzled by Chen Khu's change in face.
"My previous teacher.. Lee Han once gave me the book of the divine dragon god which is exactly the same as this book.. there is nothing in the book of the divine dragon that was given by my teacher. " replied Chen Khu as he closed the book and returned it to the emperor Xiao Yan.
"What does Chen mean.. I still don't understand.. ?! emperor Xiao Yan asked after opening the last ten pages that Chen Khu had intended.
"The last ten pages contain only clues about the aura possessed by the swordsman and his rank.. it's just that in the book it is not explained in detail how to generate the aura we have and turn it into a celestial aura that can be used to suppress opponents.. there were also instructions on how to awaken Qi.and it was all absent from the divine dragon scriptures that I had studied before.. " Chen Khu ended his explanation then sat down and massaged his painful forehead.
Xiao Yan nodded as if understanding with the explanation given by Chen Khu.
"Maybe this is the original book.. whereas the book you have studied is a copy... only.. said the teacher Maruka if there will be many warriors who seek this book...??! " emperor Xiao Yam tried to guess.
"What started and General Guan Yu had heard about the five books of the ruler of the world that are now the hunt of warriors - warriors from various schools..?! " ask Chen Khu.
"Lately there has been news about the five books of the world's rulers, before then the Demon Killer sect began to wreak havoc everywhere." replied Guan Yu.
"Hmmm.it seems like I found the red thread." Xiao Yan said.
"What does your highness mean..?! "ask Guan Yu and Chen Khu in unison.
"Since the beginning.this book has been the target of many warriors.realize it. The owner of this book before finally made a copy of the book by not writing an important explanation on the last ten pages.. then the book of incomplete copies was brought by someone while the original book remained in the hands of its owner.. "
"Without the last ten pages that contain important explanations of aura and Qi. Of course, the swordsman who studied the book of copies would not be as strong as the swordsman who studied the original book.. " xiao Yan explained.
" It's just that the explanation of the aura and Qi in this book is only general.maybe this is what teacher Maruka meant when he said we have to find our own way to become stronger.. " said Guan Yu.
"Hmm.I can finally understand the meaning of what Master Maruka said the last time before parting ways." Xiao Yan muttered.
The conversation of the three men looked so serious that the cock crow resuscitated the three.
"it's morning already..!! brother Chen. I hope after my daughter's wedding.we have more time to talk about Maruka's teacher and the five books of the world's ruler." said emperor Xiao Yan.
"I hope it is also like that, your majesty, " replied Chen Khu while saluting.
"Don't be too shy like that brother Chen. We are the same - the same student of teacher Maruka so we should be more familiar." emperor Xiao Yu lowered Chen Khu's hand.
"I beg you to make sure all the wedding preparations are done tomorrow. "general Guan Yu pleads with Chen Khu who pleads to return to the place where emperor Shun Zhi is staying.
