Reincarnation of the Human Swordsman

46

Entering the diner and sitting on an empty chair, Ling Qian and I ordered some food. Sitting for a while, in this quite crowded place I could hear people talking. It seemed like the news of the destruction of the Ling family hall by an unknown person had already spread widely.

Listening for a moment, I was quite relieved that the identity of me who was the one who had humiliated the Ling extended family was unknown. It seemed that the Ling family did not want them to be the moons of this Stone city. Naturally, since they were the most powerful family in this city, or even the world?

Discussing about the Ling family, I became reminded of something, so I asked Ling Qian in a whispering tone, “You are actually the younger brother of Ling Tian, right?”

Ling Qian who had been glancing back and forth, fell silent. He looked at me for a moment, then replied in a small voice, “Where can you tell, Master Luo?”

I guess so! Ling Tian did beat him to death, but did not kill him. According to my assumptions, if that haughty Young Master was willing to provoke my emotions, he would definitely kill Ling Qian in order for my anger to really peak. But he didn't, so there must be something different.

I shook my head, replying, “I'm just guessing. Didn't think you'd admit it ..”

“Either why I do not believe in your words! You must be hiding something!”

I exhaled a long breath. “If you can't trust your own teacher, who can you trust?”

Our order arrived, then I continued saying, “The food has come. Better now charge your strength first, Ling Qian.”

“Haah ..” Ling Qian looked a little disappointed, but then ate the food that was already available at the table. “Good.”

“Good girl.”

We ate immediately before the food went cold. During the meal, I continued to listen to the conversations of those around me, seeking information wherever possible. However, as I expected, there was no information that really mattered. Most of them even talk about random things that I don't think are important.

A while later, Ling Qian and I walked out of the restaurant after finishing our breakfast. The sun was still not in the middle, and a gust of wind slowly hit my body. It feels very refreshing and also provides comfort.

For some reason, I remembered the moment Huo Lin forced me to accompany him to practice in the morning blind. I don't want to remember that anymore!

“So, Master Luo, where are we going? Will I be back training in the forest?”

Damn ... I almost thought that the sentence came from Huo Lin. It seemed like both Huo Lin and Ling Qian were both girls with high ambitions to become strong. Are the girls who are considered disabled by their extended family all like this?

“No,” I replied as I took a slow step. “Today I will teach you how to control Chi, so we will practice underground only!”

“Underground?” Ling Qian glanced around, but did not find what she was looking for. “Where?”

“Here.” I then stomped my feet, made a passageway with stairs and straight ahead. “Come in.”

“Muru Luo is great ...”

I walked in followed by Ling Tian. When we arrived at the basement, I closed our entrance, but made a few holes above so that light and air could still enter.

“Before I start teaching you how to control Chi, I want to make sure if you can already feel your own Chi or not.”

“How to, Master Luo?” Ling Qian tilted her head.

“Good!”

Ling Qian is from the Qi Lin Human Race, so I can't treat her like Huo Lin is. Besides, I'm not sure I still remember the moves that could make the Qi Lin Human Race into a Qi Lin. Suppose Ling Chen was here.

I then exhaled a long breath, waiting for Ling Qian to feel the Chi in her body. I'm not sure he can feel it so fast.

“I succeeded!” ling Qian said as he opened his eyes, looking overjoyed.

I was betrayed by expectations. But, I think this is much better.

“Now, try to gradually remove the Chi to coat your body. The amount does not matter how much, just try slowly,” I replied, calm down.

“Good, Master Luo!” Ling Qian immediately did as I commanded. This time he would definitely be a bit more difficult than before.

“Alright, now I also have to cultivate,” I said, then remembered something. “Ah .. I forgot, my cultivation will not be able to increase without herbs. Damn ... I must patiently wait until it is time to enter the North Land Gate!”

For the umpteenth time, I exhaled a long breath, then said to Ling Qian who was trying to cultivate, “I will be out for a while. During that time, you should stay here and continue to repeat what I ordered.”

I knew that Ling Qian would not answer me, but I was sure she would have heard it. So, assuming that I paved my way out, then walked away. I think I should make more use of my free time.

...*** ...

Not noticeably, three weeks had already passed since Ling Qian learned to control the Silver Chi in his body. Right now, me and the girl were inside the basement where Ling Qian had always been cultivating.

This girl is more talented than I imagined. He could control his Chi in full in just three weeks. Although I predicted he would be able to do it the fastest in a month. It turned out that my students, both in the present life and the previous life, all had great talents like myself! Haha.

“Ling Qian, are you ready to show your strength?” I asked Ling Qian who had already formed sturdy horses. His gaze was sharp forward, and he looked so calm.

“I'm ready anytime, Master Luo!” replied the girl, who was no longer cheating like before. I think it's also a development.

“Then.” I put both hands in my pants pocket. “Let's start.”

“Ya!”

Ling Qian immediately darted forward, launching a streak of blows that were so quick. However, all of his attacks I was able to avoid by zigzagging backwards. This punch of his was indeed much stronger than he was three weeks ago!

“Ha!!” After launching one hard punch, but still not touching my body, Ling Qian retreated for a moment, keeping her distance. He then took a deep breath, then both of his hands were suddenly coated by silver-colored scales.

“Do not disappoint me.”

“No will, Master Luo!” Once again Ling Qian dashed out, launching a streak of blows that were even much stronger than before.

Someday, I'm sure you'll definitely become a great swordsman, Ling Qian. Even though you are not from the Pure Human Race. However, in today's power standards, you are much more powerful.
