Hunters And White Lotus

chapter eleven

July 1, 2020

Six months feels so hard for me. It felt so long and excruciating, it felt like I was going crazy because of the excruciating pain. Of course because all that time, I trained my body to the extreme.

Like running back and forth for one kilo meter while transporting a basket of vegetables weighing forty kilo grams, then it was added with the practice of avoiding sword slashes whose speed was beyond reason for more than four hours. Believe it or not, my rest for a day was only four hours, and of course almost half of it I used to sleep.

The pain almost drove me crazy, but the hatred in my heart strengthened my resolve. Keep making me survive to this day.

The benefits of this exercise are amazing! Not in vain hell for those six months. I feel like a superhuman! My energy is unlimited! My reflexes are really great! My whole senses work more sensitively.

A lot of things happened to me. I met a lot of people in this village, learned a lot about the meaning of brotherhood and togetherness. Helping each other is their sworn oath. Also learn the history and famous tales in this village.

Great people with many advantages I have also met. For example, Uncle Waja, he was an accomplished blacksmith in the village. His ability in making hunter gear that can not be underestimated, various cool weapons created by him. Dozens of shiny weapons were hanging neatly on the stone walls. At least that's what I saw last week.

Now focus on me. Every day I train with Alan, but sometimes some days I train alone because Alan has to go on a mission. Every day Alan increased the difficulty of training, the record I once avoided the maximum up to fifteen hours without stopping, and after that my body was KO and could not move for several days.

But after recovering I was immediately dragged again in his hellish training. It's been happening for the last six months, until I've grown so much.

And now the reflex stage has passed. That's what Alan said just now.

"So I can learn magic." I'm a little excited.

"Not yet, there are two more stages." Alan shook his head.

I breathed a heavy breath. Disappointed sign.

Alan who saw my expression spoke "The reflexes developed the maximum potential of the human body. It was useful to create limitless stamina to fight invincible demons. In addition, strengthen the body for the next stage, the second stage."

"What happens in the next stage?"

"The second stage is called the "adjustment stage. At this stage you should be able to get your body used to receiving life energy. By flowing the life energy of the whole body regularly, but in need of high level of focus, briefly losing focus everything will be chaotic." Alan walked to the edge of the green lake in front of us "But you have to find your life energy point first." Reciprocity.

Alan sat cross-legged by the lake. Then he inhaled a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.

"Focus and calm are the keys to completing this stage" Alan said slowly, his eyes closed with wisdom. I decided to do what he did.

I closed my eyes and tried to clear my mind. I feel calm and relaxed. The gentle breeze caressed my face, the silence of the forest calmed the mind, the ripples of the lake water became a beautiful song that calmed the soul.

Dark yet so peaceful. My heart felt peaceful and calm, at least that was how I felt the last fifteen minutes, but the longer something strange happened to me.

The warmth overflowed in my chest, and slowly the warmth spread throughout my body. At first it may feel so comfortable, but long warm it makes me tight. A second later I gasped awake, my breath hunting, cold sweat flashing down my face. I lost focus.

I looked at Alan and something strange happened to my vision. A green aura flowed throughout Alan's body, not only was Alan around me the same. There is a green aura that flows regularly in the trees as well as in the lake water.

"A..Alan why are there so many green colors here?" I said stammering.

"That means you have found the point," Alan also opened his eyes "Your body is at the point of relaxation, the more relaxed your body the better the sense work. It means that with your sense of body now, you can see the life energy inside your body or outside, just stay in control of it with high focus."

Alan paused for a moment and looked at me seriously "Do that thing again, if you feel any warmth try to flow it all over you."

I nodded and did that. Five minutes later a warm feeling appeared in my chest again, this time I tried to spread it all over my body.

Warm may feel comfortable in the first few minutes, but the warmth began to hurt the bones all over my body, it felt like my bones were hit to the bruise, I clenched my jaw, I clenched my jaw, I can't take it anymore.

A second later I was jolted awake unable to endure the pain, my breath roaring in the accompaniment with sweat fluttering the face.

"Such a first time." Alan muttered looking flat at me.

"Why is it so painful" I said in the midst of the hunting breath.

"The energy of life has tremendous power. By just flowing that energy through the body, you can become a superhuman like Superman, with just one fist the stone can be crushed to pieces." He said as he walked towards the big rock five meters to my right.

"Like this." Alan stretched out a fist backwards, then with full energy floated it forward.

BOOM!

The bang boomed majestically, the Stone in front of Alan crumbled, the pieces falling to the ground.

"But if we don't control the amount properly, life energy destroys our bodies. But the risk is reduced thanks to the first stage of training. Now try it again, try to spread the warmth evenly." Alan said so while walking into the forest further away.

"Hey where are you going?" I called out.

"Means the red jasmine!" He shouted without turning. Five seconds later, the creature's back disappeared from view.

I sighed slowly, then inhaled a deep breath. My eyes were closed with wisdom. The second stage has just begun .

(***)

Hosh.

I stretched myself to the ground, my brown eyes glaring at the cloudy blue sky. My breath roars, sweat splashes my face. Forty minutes, four attempts, all failed. And the last one almost broke my ribs.

This stage tested me mentally with more severe pain than the first stage. If the first stage of my body feels like crumbling, in the second stage my body feels like melting, crushed to soft pulp. I'm not kidding and exaggerating, that's how I feel.

I closed my eyes, enjoying the gentle breeze.

Srak

I reflexively turned to the source of the sound, my brown iris staring out at the ten-meter thicket at my right.

Srak

This time I jumped to my feet. I put the horses on guard in case it's a beast or a mist demon, the name for the demon who lives in this forest. They were annoying demons, they often possessed the village children as a form of vengeance.

it was said that the demons of the mist were the good spirits of forest guards, but one day the forest they guarded burned down, and the spirits accused if a villager deliberately set their house on fire.

But the spirits have no evidence and they also do not know who set fire to the forest. In the end some of the good spirits who cannot forgive man decide to antagonize man and swear to avenge him.

Forget about the story because the atmosphere here is getting stiff, my fists are starting to harden. The figure from behind the bush jumped out, revealing its form.

A rabbit.

I exhaled a sigh of relief at once irritated. I walked slowly closer to the rabbit, I grabbed the red jasmine from my pocket and stretched it towards the rabbit.

Do not think me crazy, because in fact red jasmine in the likes of various creatures except the spirits.

The rabbit sniffed the jasmine slowly, then he sneezed incoherently. I kept the flower away with a thump.

The rabbit jumped a few meters back, he squeaked briefly to start the miracle. The rabbit's body splashed with billowing white smoke, its tiny figure swallowed into the thick smoke.

"Substantial thrusting red jasmine! Don't you know that spirits are allergic to it!?" The woman exclaimed angrily with her cry .

"I didn't even know you were a spirit" I said with a sinless expression.

"Ah..really yes, too," The woman seemed to think for a moment "Argh.but you're still wrong!" then he called out again.

"Yes.sorry. " I decided to say it, even though I didn't feel guilty.

My eyes probed the woman in front of me. She was the same height as me, she was wearing a beautiful white dress. She had white hair along her shoulders, her charming face was a little alluring to me, her blue eyes were looking at me in disgust. Ah.iya I'm like a pervert.

"Sorry." I said guilty as I threw my face away "Why are you here anyway?"

"This is our territory, so dong free to do anything." He said with a haughty tone.

"Oh.yeah already, dah," I turned right and walked away.

"Dude!" He pulled my arm.

"Why?" I said ketus. His haughty voice earlier lowered a charming impression on him.

"I.lapar." He said timidly, I could see from his blushing cheeks.

"Huh?" I frowned, not understanding.

"What am I here for besides your food, anyway,"

(***)

You want to know why I could see that fellow meet a rabbit that could turn into a human being? it's because I've been used to meeting with such things the last six months.

The good spirits of mist forest guards love to play with humans who visit their homes, usually like to bring food or something, well the nature of the spirits is not as mature as humans.

Their interaction is made easy by the magic of the shape changer, they can be transformed into humans as they want and this case happened to the rabbit spirit earlier.

We sat side by side on the green lake. The woman was busy with my provisions, her hands nimbly put baked beans into her mouth, she seemed not to eat for years.

"What's your name?" Saying pleasantries.

"I don't have a name. What do you want to call me." He spoke in the middle of his chew.

"OKAY. Miss rabbit alone." I proposed carefully, afraid that the sound of his cry would break my eardrum.

"Come," he nodded in agreement.

Langgang, there is no talk between us. Miss rabbit is still busy eating, while I stare at the golden lotus in the middle of the lake, the lotus is still not blooming.

"Golden string yes," Miss rabbit paused for a moment from eating her.

"Yes.the magical plant that is said to only bloom once every ten years," I said.

"And only with the permission of the spirit of the lake can the golden lotus be collected" he said.

"And by its magic, it can separate the spirit that is fused with its physical body" we said together.

We looked at each other, exchanging shocked gazes.

"You know about the fairy tale?"

"certain. The story of the greedy fisherman has legendary "He paused for a moment "But only the fisherman can prove his miracle. And the others end up being the lake spirit's meal."

"Shouldn't that spirit be considered a demon? It eats humans,"

"Man is willing to taste the spirit as a demon, let's see again, he ate the humans because the humans themselves almost killed him.

The fisherman took the lotus to treat his son regardless of the condition of the lake spirit, but he knew that the lotus was the lifeblood of the lake spirit

Sacrificing everything to solve the problems of one party regardless of the impact to the other, is selfishly human." He said coldly, his eyes staring intently at the golden lotus. A second the air became tense.

"Yes, I am too lazy to think about it. Thank you for the nuts," Miss rabbit stood up and walked towards the direction she came. Her tiny hands were waving at me, but before entering the forest she looked at me.

"Hurry up to practice and be a handsome man." He said it in a witty tone, I only returned with a faint smile, the base of the spirits is indeed childish. And after that his figure disappeared within the thick fog of the forest.

The drap!The drap!

I turned towards the voice and found Alan standing not far from me, he gasped for breath as if running far away, sweat soaked his body, his eyes looking at me in panic.

"Hey, why?" I frowned, I didn't understand his attitude.

"You okay?" He said it with worry.

"What do you mean, I was here?what the hell are you doing?"

"Your existence of life energy suddenly disappears, and is replaced with a person who has extraordinary life energy. I panicked and soon came here, but all I found was a thick fog blocking my vision.

Many times I called you but there was no answer, I ended up venturing into that fog to look for you. But I got lost for three hours and couldn't go back, until the fog finally disappeared so I could find you." Alan tried to catch his breath, his face looking so panicked.

"Who did you actually meet?" Alan said seriously, his orange iris staring intently at me.

"Western spirit. It's a rabbit." I said.

"bad. Very bad." Alan shook his head in disbelief, then walked quickly towards the village.

"Hey? What's going on?" I cried while following him behind.

"The leader of the mist demon returns, the rabbit queen returns from her sleep. That means that soon a great war will take place."

"War?"

"Yes, this time he will keep his promise to take revenge. Not long ago the interracial war that took place ten years ago re-raged."
