The Sword God of the South

The Sword God of the South
Not Dare to Talk



At such a time, tucked a wistful tone in his speech. His eyes glared back, as well as his suddenly withered face. It is like a flower that is dry with water.


Zhang Fei could see this. That's why he immediately said further.


"Grandfather calm down, now there's me. I'm ready to take your place, as well as Dad's. I'm ready to eradicate evil in our martial world" he said excitedly.


Zhang Liong smiled. He then spoke. "It should be like that, Fei's son. Since long ago, if there was a great warrior who died, surely in the future, will be reborn warriors who are even greater than their predecessors,"


"Ehmm, I get it, Cake,"


His grandfather and grandson kept telling stories. Until without feeling, the time is getting late at night. The white monkey and tiger had been soundly asleep by the campfire.


"It's time for you to go to sleep. Tomorrow you should get up early and do the initial exercises" Zhang Liong said.


"Good, Cake. Then, I'll go to bed first,"


Zhang Fei stood up. Then he left from there. He went into the hut, and immediately slept in the bed that had been prepared beforehand.


"Great kid. The sky will definitely protect you," Zhang Liong muttered to himself with a smile.


Not long after that, he fell asleep again.


###


The dawn has gone. The air in the middle of the mountain, every morning was always the same. Always cold. Cold that punched the bone.


But, Zhang Liong was already used to dealing with this kind of circumstance. Moreover, he had lived for decades in that place.


To him, cold was not a strange thing. Even the coldness he made a friend who always accompanied him in the morning.


Right now, he was sitting on a huge rock. Beside him was a jar of wine that had just been opened.


Just in the middle of the courtyard, there was Zhang Fei who was doing the morning exercises. He was demonstrating the empty-handed silat he had mastered.


"Try playing with your sword" Zhang Liong exclaimed.


Zhang Fei who heard that remark, immediately changed his movements. He instantly unsheathed the Sword of the God King stored on his back.


A moment later, the young man immediately practiced swordsmanship that had been studied.


His movements are still agile. The slash or the thrust of his sword was precise enough. His body and feet are pretty good. But unfortunately, Zhang Liong still saw there were many flaws within his every move.


But even so, he did not try to stop Zhang Fei's movements. The old man continued to watch his grandson play the sword.


He only stopped practicing Zhang Fei after the sun was already in a high enough position.


"Enough, son of Fei," he said as he gestured with his hands. "Come here,"


Hearing his grandfather's cry, Zhang Fei immediately stopped his movements. He walked straight over.


"All the moves you made just now, are far from perfect. For others, it may be perfect. But not yet,"


He paused for a moment, watching Zhang Fei who was currently bowing his head.


"Your kosog handshake is pretty good. Just add energy in and power in each blow, then the results obtained will be satisfactory. But for your swordsmanship it ..."


"Why my swordsmanship, Cake?" tanyanya was impatient.


"Your sword is still ungodly,"


"But all this time, I have defeated quite a number of enemies," he said as if to not accept with the criticism given by Zhang Liong.


"I know," the old man nodded his head. "But do you also know that the world is vast?"


"Yes, I know,"


Zhang Fei directly lowered his head lowly. He did not dare to raise his face. Especially looking at his grandfather's face.


What his grandfather said just now, was so fiercely piercing his heart. So that he can no longer say anything.


"If your abilities were only like this, could it be that you would be transformed into a Sword God?"


"No way, Cake," he admitted.


"Then, how do you become a Sword God?"


"By practicing every day,"


Suddenly Zhang Liong laughed out loud. Very loud. After he laughed, he said again.


"Practicing it was only one way, not the only way to become a Sword God,"


The young man did not dare to speak back. Especially now, he was starting to not understand his grandfather's words.


"You know, that everyone can practice, too. Practicing anything, everyone can do it. But you also have to remember that not all of the people who practice diligently will achieve satisfactory results. Not all of them will achieve success from the exercise. You know that?"


"I know, Cake,"


"good. I know you're a smart kid. Then, again I asked, how do I become the Sword God?" tanyanya repeated.


"I don't know,"


"Don't know?" the old man slightly snapped at him.


Even all of a sudden, he released a fairly dense killer air. Zhang Fei was depressed because of it.


"If I tell you, are you ready?"


"I'm so ready, Cake,"


"Even if you have to sacrifice your own life?"


"Yes, I'm ready to sacrifice everything,"


"good. From now on, I'll train you,"


Zhang Liong then got up to his feet. He directly told Zhang Fei to do the basic exercises back. Like meditating, regulating the breath and so forth.


During the training process, Zhang Fei never resisted or denied any of his grandfather's orders.


He behaved the same way he did when he was studying the Five White Angels.


Whatever his teacher said, he would definitely obey. Even if told to jump from the highest cliff, it is unlikely that he will reject it.


Day after day has passed. The moon changed again. Without notice, a year has passed.


During that time, he continued to be forged tirelessly by his grandfather. Day and night, there was no time for him to rest much.


At times, Zhang Fei complained about his current condition. Because the training given by his grandfather, it turns out much heavier than what the Five White Angels gave long ago.


But, for the sake of realizing his dream of becoming a Sword God, he had never been discouraged. Whatever his grandfather gave him, he was convinced that it was all for his own good.


Zhang Fei was full of confidence, this hard struggle of his would definitely pay off. Satisfactory results, according to what he expected.


The proof alone, now he was able to demonstrate all the movements listed in the Book of Sword Gods, starting from the first step, even to the last step.


Other than that, he was able to sense that his abilities had improved greatly. Very different from the previous year.
