Reincarnation of the Human Swordsman

5

The rickety house that initially seemed to be about to collapse at any moment, slowly became sturdy again. I guess I should thank Yue Jian and the snot brat who were willing to repair this house, after training. Or maybe they plan to pay for my exercise formula by fixing the house and providing food in the house? Hm .. That doesn't sound bad.

On this starry sunny night, after a day of training the Boy to fight, I sat on the terrace looking up. I took a deep breath, then exhaled it, letting the fresh air in at night, enter and spread throughout the body.

“This is very scrumptious.” I'm calming the mind. “Never thought I'd get a very peaceful second life like this ...”

“Teacher, sorry to bother you for a moment ..”

I was just thankful for a quiet second life. It's time to get back to reality.

“Sit, Yue Jian.”

Yue Jian sat down next to me, then immediately went to the core of the conversation, “I want to ask, why in every strategy in the book, when meeting an enemy does not directly attack like I usually do, I want to ask, why in every strategy in the book, but instead shut up and observe. I mean, would the enemy just be quiet when it's being observed?”

All right, I understand the confusion. I exhaled a long breath, replying, “When you face a stronger enemy, you better run. But, if it's a situation where you can't run, in order to beat him you have to know his weaknesses.”

“So far I can understand ...”

“Good. Furthermore, the word silence there does not mean not moving at all, but trying to minimize movement in avoiding every attack. The key is to observe.”

“Hm ...” Yue Jian seemed to be digesting my explanation. He was different from the snot boy who immediately agreed without a second thought. “But, what if the opponent is weaker or balanced?”

“Maybe a lot of people out there are being rash for going up against weaker opponents. However, I must stress to you that patience and thoroughness in creating a strategy is the key to victory!”

“Thank you, Master!”

It seemed that Yue Jian immediately understood my explanation. “Yes. Now rest.”

Yue Jian went into the house. Then, before long the snot boy came out, started walking towards the courtyard. Of course I immediately rebuked the boy.

“Rest is also part of training, Snot boy,” scold me.

The snot boy immediately stopped his steps, then turned his gaze towards me. “I want to be strong soon!” He clenched his right hand tightly.

“All that need process, will not directly you get.”

With just that one sentence, the snot boy again relaxed his hand. He seems to understand what I mean.

“Good.” His tone sounded a little disappointed and his face lowered. However, he still entered the house, just as I expected.

***

On a clear day, the wind gently blows away the leaves. I can't remember how long it would have been the day I started training these two young men who had suddenly become my students. Maybe a week, a month, or maybe a year? I was too lazy to count the days that passed, but it was clear that they were now strong.

Their development was honestly a little shocking, as it was beyond my expectations. However, I think that's a good thing.

Yue Jian clenched tightly his right hand as he directed his gaze from hand to sky. “This is still not enough!”

“Hahaha, you are very greedy, Yue Jian.” I laughed softly. “But, I don't think it's too bad to be honest.” After that I turned my eyes to the snot boy. “How about you, snot boy?”

“I'll beat you!”

“Haha. Please go forward if you are able!”

The atmosphere became silent for a moment. I think it's time to get to the core topic this morning.

I sighed for a moment, then exhaled while closing my eyes. “I've taught you what you need. Furthermore, whether you can develop or not, it depends on yourself, Yue Jian, Snotty brat!”

The two young men obviously listened to me seriously, already knowing that this was not the time to joke anymore. In addition, it does not rule out the possibility that today is our farewell day.

“Today I will give you the last lesson you must understand.” I put both hands in my pants pocket. “Prove to me that you are the real disciples of the Mainland King—Luo Xiao!”

Without waiting for anything more, Yue Jian immediately moved backwards, while the Snotty brat stomped his feet. So many earth spears then poked out, attacking me from the front. Unfortunately, the attack was still not strong enough to destroy my windshield.

However, the snot boy did not immediately give up because his attack failed. The young man immediately spouted flames from his mouth. I must admit that the attack was effective in defeating my windshield. But not enough to defeat me.

With just a single leg, four earthen walls popped up to form the ground, locking the snot brat and Yue Jian. Even though I knew this attack wasn't enough to defeat them.

In accordance with my estimation, a surprise attack now appeared. Yue Jian seemed to have been waiting for the momentum of me using the earthen wall. The young man immediately attacked me with a rain of thousands of arrows. That's delicious!

“Are you too afraid to attack directly?!” It was a provocation that I said as I launched a punch upwards, creating a wind umbrella that immediately destroyed all the arrows. “This weak attack will not hurt me!”

Ah .., I seem to be a little off guard.

Right, I'm off guard. It turned out that my movements had already been read like books by Yue Jian, so he dared to send a snot boy to attack me from above. Of course all of his empty-handed attacks could easily be tackled, but this made me a bit of trouble with my current body.

Now, when the snot brat was holding me back with all his might, Yue Jian launched an attack in the form of four arrows from four different directions. If I can't fend off the attack, my stomach seems to be hollow.

“You guys get me excited!” I let out a shockwave from the body, making Yue Jian's attack fail and the snot boy bounce off. I'm not so sure, but maybe I'm smiling right now. “Now is my turn!"

Not wanting to just defend, I finally decided to strike back. The first person I attacked was definitely Yue Jian who was now hiding inside the forest.

“You won't be able to fool me!” Soon I darted into the forest. However, the unexpected thing was that Yue Jian had set up a trap for me.

As many arrows shot at me from all directions, I realized that I had underestimated him. He was very thorough and read the situation as well as his enemy, like he was reading a book.
