After I finished the food that the old peia gave me, she invited me over to chat for a while.
"Hey, why did I set you up here? Why don't I let you go? Is that a question you want to know the answer to?" said the old man.
"Yes, maybe. If you don't want to tell me, I don't care either. As long as I can get the Stone of Life it makes me happy" I replied.
"All right, I'll tell you. But first can I know what that Saint Mage gave you?" asked the old man while looking at the beautiful view of the lake.
"She only gave me a potion to recycle 50% of the stats," replied Ye Xiu who also looked at the lake.
"Heh, he just gave you that? Haihh, even though he himself had foretold that I was even responsible," the old man muttered a little loudly.
"What do you mean by prophecy?" I asked who heard his murmur.
"In this continent there will be a lot of chaos. There will be a great war between humans and the demon race. Many cities will be destroyed by that war" he replied.
"What's that terrible? What does that have to do with me? I don't care about them, as long as it doesn't hurt me."
"No, in the prophecy you will have a relationship, be it with humans or the demon race but I will not tell you the prophecy."
"So what's the reason you locked me in a place like this to train me?" my many.
"Yes, that's right. So you have to mean it to win against me" replied the old man.
"But your level is way above mine. I can't possibly beat you."
"Hey boy, a level is just a number. If you're level 1000 but you don't have the skills, it's the same as you're low." The old man patted my shoulder.
"Your level is very high, your skills are also very great. Wouldn't that torture me? Maybe it took me decades here to train to beat you."
"No, you have great talent. You're going to pass me no more than 10 years" said the old man.
"Is that just to make me happy?"
"Well, that's it."
I stood up and left the old man alone. Then I went to where the old man used to cut wood.
After arriving, there is still a lot of wood that has not been cut. I tried to cut with the same result as the old man did.
But it's very difficult. I had cut 10 logs but did not get the result I wanted.
Until the start of the afternoon, I had cut 4999 pieces of wood but still did not get the results that the man did.
"Ahhh, fuck! Why is this so hard!" shout it hard.
"Yes!"
SIRK!
Unintentionally I managed to make a cut that was as persi as that done by the old man.
I fell to the ground because of the. Sweat had soaked all the clothes I was wearing.
"Haihhh, I finally made it." I lay down on the ground and looked up at the sky.
Meanwhile, the old man watching me from a distance said, "It's faster than I thought. It used to take me 10 days to make such a cut, but he only takes a day."
Next morning.
The old man had prepared many wooden sticks in that place. That's twice as many as yesterday.
I went back to that place and did activities like yesterday. I kept cutting the log until noon, but there was no perfect cut yet.
"Damn! Yesterday was just my luck!" mummy's upset.
Until a year has passed. I've been able to cut wood with perfect cuts and it's always the same.
"I'm amazed at you who only took a year to master. It took me 3 years to master it." The old man praised me.
The old man turned the lake at that place into a waterfall that is quite high.
"The second exercise is that you should be able to cut open the waterfall without wetting your sword."
I was surprised to hear the exercise this time."Old grandpa! How could I possibly slash down a waterfall without drenching my sword? I can't!" my lament.
"You can definitely. At first your first practice could not be done but now you have mastered it" said the old man.
"Well, I'll try!"
I climbed onto a rock in front of the waterfall and then slashed down the waterfall. But while slashing it, my sword slipped out of my hand due to the force of the waterfall pressure.
The old man who saw her couldn't help but laugh, "Hahahaha, you think it's that easy! Haha."
I felt that someone was laughing at me then looking at the old man who was writhing on the ground from laughing.
"Damn you old man! You're laughing at me!"
"I'll show you!"
I took back the sword that fell earlier, then slashed it again at the waterfall. But still, the sword slipped out of my hand as it slashed at him.
"Hahahahaha, what are you doing." The old lria's laughter grew.
"Old grandfather! You also tried to slash this waterfall! Don't just laugh at me!" my word.
The old man stopped laughing, "Alright, I'll model it on you!" The old man came closer to the waterfall and took my sword.
"Look at this!" The old man slashed the sword into the waterfall.
A slashh!!!
The waterfall was split in two because of its cutting. After that I looked at his sword and was very surprised because it was not hit by any water.
"Old grandfather! How did you do it?!" manya curious.
"I'm just slashing, look again!" The old man slashed his sword back into the waterfall. The previous thing happened again.
"Old grandfather! Quickly teach me how to do it!" my door.
"I'll teach you after you've been able to slash your sword into the waterfall without getting out of your hand" the man said and left.
"How can I do that? My strength alone is not strong enough to slash the waterfall."
"Maybe I have to increase the power of my slash in order to do it."
I cut down the waterfall every day from morning to evening. At night I also exercise my strength.
8 Months have passed. Now I can slash the waterfall in two, but still can't slash it without getting hit by the waterfall.
"I can finally do it!" I said with pleasure.
"How long have I been in this place? Have I been here a year?" Because of the practice, I don't remember how long I stayed in that place.
"I just remember that I had a mission to kill the Sword Saint."
I looked at my status screen and saw the Quest time.
"How could I have been in this place for almost 2 years! My quest time is now only 3 years away. Is that enough? I haven't even learned the sword techniques."
Suddenly the old man came and then said, "It seems you can already do it. Now I'll tell you how to slash without getting hit by the waterfall."
