THE SUN GOD SWORD
Rehearses
After six months of Sungsang Geni training he had finally mastered the 4 basic moves, this was a very good achievement for the first person to hold a sword, which was a very good achievement for the first time, Ki Alam Sakti even took 1 year to be able to master the 4 basic moves of marching cloud swordsmanship, apparently the method he did was very helpful in this exercise.
Now that he was used to using the sword, Sungsang Geni was easier to make later movements even though the movement was actually more difficult and needed to be fast.
As he promised, Ki Alam Sakti comes to see once a month just to make sure Sungsang Geni is okay, or just test the Sungsang Geni sword technique.
The old grandfather also came with a lot of food, it would be difficult for Sungsang Geni to find food supplies in the region, besides the forest goats it seems that no animals would want to live in the tribal areas.
“Geni, it's only been six months that you've grown so fast?” Ki Alam Sakti was amazed by the abilities that Sungsang Geni showed when training against him.
Sungsang Geni is faster and more flexible in every movement, Ki Alam Sakti said maybe his student only took 4 years to master the sword of the marching clouds.
Ki Alam Sakti does not really understand how his students practice, but while it is not dangerous Ki Alam Sakti does not think too much about it.
He came at most only 2 days, then Ki Alam Sakti immediately left Sungsang Geni alone again, Sungsang Geni did not think too much about it, living alone was common.
After successfully mastering 4 styles, Sungsang Geni more spirit in training. Sometimes he trained in heavy rain and sometimes when a wind storm hit a rock hill.
He spent his time practicing, he rested a little, and that's because he had to take a bath and meditate, but because he was used to fasting, sometimes only 2 days once, eating, fasting calms the mind, at least that's the understanding he's been holding.
After his training, Sungsang Geni trained the blessing of the sun, indeed he could control the sun fire well, but Sungsang Geni's desire was more than that.
To become a great swordsman he must be able to control the fire of the sun to the point of not being able to burn his bamboo sword despite the fire of the sun. That means he should be able to make his fire cold.
After one year of training, Sungsang Geni managed to master 15 moves of the marching cloud sword. This achievement never happened even in the days of Ki Alam Sakti was young. Usually to be able to master 15 styles it takes practice for 5 years.
“Geni, you are getting smarter using the sword,” said Ki Alam Sakti, every time he met his student, he was always amazed “Eang is very proud of you, not only quickly you were even able to combine the sun fire with the marching cloud sword technique.”
“This is all thanks to the teachings of Eang Guru.” Sungsang Geni was humble, but in fact he was very happy because he managed to flow his bamboo sword with solar fire without having to burn the sword.
“I only gave the book of sword clouds marching on you, that's all.” Ki Alam Sakti realizes that there is nothing he does for Sungsang Geni. “And also I never taught you how to unite the blessings of the sun with the marching cloud sword technique,”
It is true that Ki Alam Sakti does not teach him directly, but all of Ki Alam Sakti's words have a deep meaning in his heart.
After finishing testing the swordsmanship of Sugsang Geni, Ki Alam Sakti immediately returned to the Majangkara kingdom, he could not leave the palace for too long, he could not leave the palace, what else now appears swordsman 3 codets from the bamboo forest that managed to steal the majalengka keris belonging to King Airlangga.
But he immediately remembered the fire spirit saying that it was all just taste, and it was not good to cultivate unimportant taste.
The young man resumed his training more vigorously, if he quickly mastered the Radiant Cloud Sword technique, then perhaps he would quickly break out of the rock hill.
If it is usually only 18 hours he is training, this time up to 20 hours. Don't want Sungsang Geni to be rock-clad for too long, or he'll be forgetting how to talk.
Sometimes he made a hundred puppets out of bamboo, and with just a few moves, the puppets were crushed into ashes.
“Now bamboo dolls are not reliable anymore,” said Sungsang Geni, looking at bamboo dolls that are burning because of the sun fire, “Bamboo puppets move without emotion just based on these ropes wrapped around my body, which is very difficult to find, so I can't learn to understand my opponent's feelings.”
Sungsang Geni then trained without using a bamboo puppet, he closed his eyes imagining a formidable opponent in front of him, and began to attack.
Every move he made was in harmony with his imaginary opponent, as his imaginary opponent slashed towards the neck, reflexing his body to bow and then began to smash.
Not infrequently Sungsang Geni actually slammed his body because his imaginary opponent landed a punch on his body.
After he opened his eyes, Sungsang Geni laughed out loud, “My behavior can be said to be crazy, but only in this way can I find a worthy opponent and learn to feel the emotions of my opponent.”
Sungsang Geni knows the rules of the swordsman, when the sword is removed from its sheath he has only one goal, which is to kill.
But he did not like the rule, he did not care about ‘goal’ the sword was removed from its sheath, but he cared that every sword was removed there was a reason.
That thought was the basis on which Sungsang Geni learned to know his opponent's emotions, if he knew the reason his opponent drew the sword, he could determine whether or not the person was killed.
Sungsang Geni managed to master 20 styles in just one and a half years. If anyone knew that Ki Alam Sakti had a talented student, surely the entire black school would hunt Sungsang Geni. Because of that, Ki Alam Sakti evacuated his student in a distant and remote rock hill.
After an even two years, Sungsang Geni was finally able to master the entire marching cloud sword technique. He was even able to combine the fire of the sun and the taknik of the sword of the clouds to march very well.
This achievement has never existed in any historical record, only two years can master 25 moves of the cloud sword marching and perfecting 20 of the 25 moves.
“Geni, you are finally able to master this technique very well,” Ki Alam Sakti said with great pride. “At the age of 20 years, you have managed to master it, no one has ever managed to master this technique as fast as you, even my brothers and sisters are Surama.”
