The Spear Knights of Nirwana

The Mao Lao

It had been almost a full moon of Tian Feng training under the guidance of Mao Lao, the current season had already changed with the snow season where all the regions in the three Kingdoms had become colder.

Tian Feng sighed in relief because his training in the smelly and itchy green lake was already finished, otherwise he would continue to soak, soaking up, and if that happens, he can't freeze with the lake water.

"Little smile, now you must close your eyes and walk on these thorns without wearing any footwear! Try not to step on those thorns!" said Mao Lao.

Tian Feng held his breath when he saw the many thorns on the snow, those thorns were scattered everywhere, but there was still a gap for the feet so as not to step on those sizable thorns.

"If I get the wrong step, it's possible that my foot will bleed," inner Tian Feng.

It had crossed Tian Feng's mind to use the Demon King's body science so that the skin could harden, but suddenly Mao Lao said something that made him undo his intentions.

"Close your eyes with this cloth and then walk in the middle of the thorn, make sure your feet do not step on it, otherwise you can use your heels, use your toes, but never use Chi," said Mao Lao.

Mao Lao wanted Tian Feng's training to be done naturally without using a single Chi circle to protect his legs.

It was intended that Tian Feng could rely on pure strength without Chi, because if only relying on Chi, it would not be good.

So Tian Feng did not have to rely on Chi that could be used up when used frequently.

Tian Feng carefully stepped his feet into that pile of sharp thorns, he walked around using the heels, the periphery of the abdomen of his feet and his toes as well.

Tian Feng was now walking like a half-drunk person due to his unsettled steps.

Just a few steps, Tian Feng's legs were pierced by several thorns so he groaned in pain and did not know when moving backwards the other leg also pierced by thorns.

Tian Feng hurriedly opened his blindfold then walked out of the pile of thorns while enduring the pain.

"Gram!!"

Tian Feng pulled out the thorns one by one and blood began to flow from the prick marks.

"Just punctured by a small thorn you've been in such pain! Let's get up again and repeat the exercise" Mao Lao snapped.

Tian Feng could only refrain from swearing, even though warriors were extremely strong and even invulnerable people, but if injured it would still hurt, it would still hurt, in addition, Mao Lao forbade Tian Feng not to use Chi at all.

Tian Feng could only obey then walked back amidst those thorns.

Tian Feng himself had already forgotten how many thorns had already pierced his feet, he stayed on and continued walking avoiding all the scattered thorns.

The blood that came out from the soles of Tian Feng's feet made some of his snow white turn red.

"Quite a little demon, now you treat that wound on your leg first and tomorrow we'll continue again!" said Mao Lao.

Tian Feng immediately complied and then he rushed inside his house to treat his legs.

Although the wound on his leg was not too severe, but the wound made him a bit difficult to walk, luckily he still had some medicines that could relieve the pain of the prick of the thorn.

"Little smile, are you asleep?"

At night Mao Lao came to the place where Tian Feng was sitting alone in the house.

"Not a teacher!" replied Tian Feng.

"If you're not tired, accompany me for a little chat!" said Mao Lao.

Tian Feng nodded then he walked to where Mao Lao was, he walked on his tiptoes.

"Have you taken out all the broken thorns on your feet?" ask Mao Lao.

"Already teacher, even I have treated it and tomorrow it will definitely be healed!" replied Tian Feng.

"If tomorrow your legs still hurt, we should postpone your training until your feet no longer hurt" said Mao Lao.

Mao Lao also added to the explanation of Tian Feng's practice of walking on thorns.

There are three types of exercises that can be done, the first is to walk on the coals of fire, the second is to walk on the thorns, and the second is to walk on the thorns, and the last one is to walk on a small beam where underneath there is a lot of very large tapered wood, so if it falls can be sure it will immediately die stuck in the wood.

Tian Feng only listened while thinking to himself, according to which practice was equally dangerous, especially if it did not use Chi, there would only be defects or worse death.

"Teacher, tomorrow I'll keep practicing, I'm sure that tomorrow I can practice again!" said Tian Feng.

"The spirit is not enough little demons, you must have a strong determination and earnest in training" said Mao Lao.

The two of them were silent for a moment so the atmosphere became silent, after which Tian Feng started talking first.

"Teacher, the teacher once mentioned the name of the chairman Chang Shan, does the senior know the chairman Chang?"

Tian Feng had long wanted to ask that to Mao Lao, moreover Tian Feng deeply remembered Chang Shan's attitude towards him when he was in the Golden Lion.

"Actually I didn't know him very well, we met when we were drinking together in a wine shop, at that time he knew himself as the Head of Gold Lion College, who was also the head of Gold Lion College, and we both drank there all night!"

Tian Feng nodded his head, "It turns out that he was familiar with Chang Shan while drinking together!" inner Tian Feng.

He knew that Chang Shan was also very fond of wine like Mao Lao, probably because Mao Lao and Chang Shan could get to know each other but were not close friends.

"Enough, now I want to hear your story, how can you go out on your own from the College and be pursued by those people from Yamuru?"

Tian Feng smiled faintly, he did not know where to tell him from back then, because he himself had already left since five years ago and was training alone.

Tian Feng made his mass as his teacher, since it was not difficult for him to be able to reach the level of a Upper Swordsman.

"I left the city of Xanhuo by walking on foot without having a purpose, when I arrived at a small village on the edge of the forest and met with criminals from Foiberia."

Tian Feng only cut the story of his journey to Mao Lao, he could not possibly tell if he had been out for five years and trained alone in the Dark Goa.

Therefore he only told an outline of his experience to Mao Lao who was not suspected by his teacher.

"Young people have dared to adventure alone, I really salute you, let alone you dare to fight people from other countries alone, even though it seems brave but you in the future must remain careful, he said, it could be that people from Foiberia, Toakai and Yamuru will be looking for you!" mao Lao said reminding Tian Feng.

Tian Feng did not tell if he had killed each of the three countries, but for Mao Lao it was the same, wanted Tian Feng to kill or just throw it away, all of that is equally dangerous.

"It's late at night so thank you for accompanying me to chat tonight, you better get some rest so that tomorrow morning you can recover!" mao Lao said then he got up and went back to his house.

Tian Feng was still sitting still while Mao Lao was already inside his house, he then got up and rested so that his body could fit back to train.

***

Tian Feng practice is not just walking on a pile of thorns, Mao Lao actually provides a variety of physical exercises.

All of the exercises that Tian Feng had undergone were completely devoid of Chi, all of them purely relying on physical strength alone.

In addition to walking on thorns, there are also exercises to carry water in the bucket while walking on a slippery wood due to snow covering the surface of the wood.

But for Tian Feng who already had a strong physique and already had Green Blood Cells, he had no trouble at all.

It's just that his obstacles make him a little difficult, but it's not a serious problem because he's had a harder training and also more terrible than all that.

"You've completed the basic training perfectly Little Demon, so now it's time for you to practice the Drunk God style!" mao Lao said while holding the wood he made the stick.

Tian Feng frowned as he looked at Mao Lao like he was unwell, even he saw Mao Lao's slightly pale face.

"Teacher! Is the teacher sick?" tian Feng asked.

"Don't you care about me, you'd better get your hands on me and hear all the instructions from me!" mao Lao said then he covered his mouth and coughed a few times.

Mao Lao looked at his hand which he made to cover his mouth while coughing, he saw a hint of blood on his palm then quickly he hid his palm backwards.

Tian Feng grew increasingly suspicious of Mao Lao who looked like he was hiding something from him.

"Prepare to listen to my directions while moving along with my directions!" said Mao Lao then he sat on the porch of his house and started giving directions to Tian Feng.

"The Flower Goddess gave wine to the Emperor! The jug that fell was caught by a snake."

Tian Feng moved by following the direction of the verse from Mao Lao, despite having tried and has flexed his movements, but still there was a mistake in his movements.

"Teacher! I don't understand the movement of catching thousands of dews with distilled strains, is that also part of the Drunk God movement?" tian Feng asked.

"That's indeed one of the moves of the God Toast Goddess Dancing! Capturing thousands of dews with flute is a continuous punch movement with the footrests tilted to the right simultaneously and should be in the same direction" said Mao Lao.

Tian Feng immediately tried it and when he tilted his ankles to the right, suddenly his body felt like it was going to fall, but he immediately twisted his soles until his heels were stuck on the snow, and Tian Feng managed to move like he was dancing in a drunken state.

"Next is the Drunken God Force sleeping."

Mao Lao again gave direction with his verse to Tian Feng, whereas Tian Feng immediately moved following Mao Lao's direction.

If only the Book of Drunk Gods had not been burned by Mao Lao, perhaps he would not have had to chant the verse as a direction, because in that book there was already everything, starting from the picture and also his explanation.

Right now only with the direction of the verse alone could speed up Tian Feng to be able to learn the style of the Drunk God.

If by way of explanation it will take even longer, unless Mao Lao's condition does not hurt, it may be easier for Mao Lao to demonstrate it.

Sometimes Mao Lao coughed while still in the middle of his explanation, and as usual the blood would come out when he coughed.

Tian Feng had indeed sensed that Mao Lao was ill, yet he did not understand why Mao Lao had hidden it.

It was obvious that Mao Lao's condition was getting worse as he coughed, but Tian Feng could not do anything because Mao Lao asked him to stay focused on his training alone.
