True Martial Arts

Get Out of the Village with Kaia

Kaia then got up and nonchalantly went to where her house had collapsed. While Kala stood up and looked at the bone in the cauldron fixedly, he was not brave enough to take the bone.

“Alang, can you get that for me?”

“Eak?”

“Not that I'm afraid, I'm just lazy.”

“Eak!”

“Aih, you! Swordsman should not be lazy, but this ..”.

In the end Kala stuck out his hand to pick up the cigarette-sized bone. He closed his eyes when his finger touched the bone. However, there was no heat reaction he expected. The temperature of the bones was mediocre, neither hot nor cold.

“Hahaha!!! That's fine! It's not hot!” Kala cheered while lifting the bone up high.

With her perception that the bone was just like the hard prana essence but would melt away in the mouth, Kala bit the hard bone.

“Ah!”

Pain ran through his teeth. It's really a hard bone that doesn't melt when it meets saliva. He looked at the bone for quite a while.

“What should I do with this bone if it cannot be eaten?”

This bone is similar to a cigarette stem, is the marrow tasty and healthy if burned and inhaled?

Kala took out his kerambit, cut off the two ends of the bone and asked Alang to burn one end.

“Eak?”

“Alang, I am old enough to smoke. Burn it!”

“Eak! Eac!”

“Cigarettes are not healthy. However, this was a bone that was burned. It may contain healthy prana.”

“EAAK!”

“One rod only for now, if it is not healthy then I will not breathe it again.”

Alang shook slowly. However, Alang still threw a small fire at the end of the bone. Cigarette bones are flammable, burn faster than regular cigarettes. Kala hurriedly blew it.

Are you sure you're smoking? Teacher will definitely scold you.

Kala gulped his saliva before putting the end of the unburned cigarette on his lips. Slowly but surely, Kala sucked it. The cigarette smoke filled his mouth and throat cavity, making him instantly cough.

However, coughing is natural for a young person who first inhales a pipe. Even more shocking, Kala felt her prana growing!

“True! This bone gives me prana!”

Kala sucked it again, this time he sucked it more carefully. He only held the smoke until the mouth did not reach the throat, then he exhaled slowly.

It tastes sweet and there is a slight meaty taste. Kala also felt the wound start to close slowly. Really delicious and delicious!

“Alang! You should try this!”

Alang looked at Kala lazily. “Eak ...”

“Ya, already. I'll spend it all if you don't want to.”

With the cigarette still burning on his lips, Kala picked up the other two remaining stalks. The cauldron was put back into the interspatial ring while the cigarette was stored in the cloak pouch.

Coinciding with that, Kaia returned with her right hand grasping a piece of batik cloth. He said he was ready even though his tone was indifferent.

“What do you bring?” ask Kala.

“You don't need to know.”

Kala stroked his chest while shaking slowly. Facing a cold girl like this all it takes is patience.

“You're sure that's all you brought?”

“What will that be a problem for you?” Kaia responded to the cold Kala who stroked her chest again.

“Alright, let's leave now.” Kala took her breath. “Alang, you flew to find the nearest city on the border Geowedari-Pandataran.”

“Eak!”

The Alang's body became large before darting upwards quickly. Kaia looked at it flatly with no expression, no sense of awe was visible on her face.

Kala and Kaia walked down the village road to the main road. As much as possible avoid the citizens and he managed to avoid everything.

Kaia walked without saying a word, but she herself did not know where Kala was going. Either because of his belief in Kala or because of his indifferent nature.

As for Kala, he really enjoyed this trip. He had been languishing too long at Mount Loro Kembar, this perilous journey was like entertainment for him.

The usual path for the crowd now feels incredible for Kala. It made him so happy that whistling was unclear.

“Ah, rather than me whistling non-pitched like this, what if I just make a song?” Kala spoke to herself, but was immediately responded to by Kaia.

“That's enough. Are you not self-conscious?”

Kala no longer cared about Kaia's words, she did not want to get carried away by the emotions on the streets that were so joyous like this.

“Sometimes life does have to be full of blood ..”

“Those spilled wet the streets ...”

“Sometimes life does have to be full of blood ..”

“Those spilled wet the streets ...”

The two stanzas alone that Kala chanted, he still did not think about the next stanzas.

“Enough ..”

Kala still hasn't stopped that incontinent song. Until in the end Kaia shouted furiously, “Quite!”

“Hm? You told me to stop, but you didn't want to be chatted with.” Kala laughed softly while shaking her head. “Aih, I still have a pipe to suck.”

Kala did turn off the pipe he sucked earlier when Kaia came, he then stored in the interspatial ring to be sucked again later. Right now, he is also bored and maybe a cigarette can help.

Kala took out his bone pipe and then tweeted to call Alang. Out of nowhere, the bird was already on Kala's shoulders in a small condition.

“Eak! Eac!”

“Alang, this is a healthy cigarette. After all, this person beside me is so cold.” Kala whispered softly to Alang in a persuading tone.

Lazily, Alang threw a small fireball at the end of the pipe and then shot upwards. Kala smiled with satisfaction before putting out the fire.

Kaia looked at Kala in disdain as she exhaled smoke from her nose. He just stared at Kala in disgust without making any comment.

When he saw that look, he did not want there to be any misunderstanding so he immediately explained to Kaia about this cigarette. Cigarettes are healthy and increase the amount of prana, Kala also said that this pipe was found accidentally.

“What is ‘prana’?” tanya Kaia was curious but flat.

“Prana is the energy that is all around us. This energy can make a human being a superhuman or commonly called swordsman.” Kala looked at Kaia sadly. “But, prana is the energy that makes blood always spill. There is always war. And life as if only dry leaves could be at any time detached from the twigs. Prana makes life lose self-esteem.”

Kaia did not comment, but she actually understood. At one time, warriors would kill each other to grow stronger. If you want to live peacefully as a weak villager rather than a warrior, then you will be oppressed by a warrior. If you choose the path of life as a warrior, then you must continue to be strong or your life will disappear so young.

“Kaia, I'm not sure about this. However, I want you to be a pranor under my upbringing.”

Kaia's steps came to a halt after hearing Kala's words. Kala took a long breath.

“I know, you don't want your clothes to get wet with blood like me. However, you must become strong after your honor is usurped. Understand that life is not as easy as you think.” Kala spoke without facing the girl. “This is your only option if you want revenge. But if you don't agree, then you can go.”

Kaia clenched her hands and firmly said, “Continue walking.”

Kala smiled warmly at Kaia. In the end, he had a traveling companion, he was very happy.

***

Kala took out two large pieces of meat from the interspatial ring. Of course it surprised Kaia, but Kala immediately explained it slowly and promised to buy her a ring like this when she arrived at the destination city. Kala actually also did not know where the city he was going to, Alang only found his way without finding his city.

Right now, Kala and Kaia were on the side of the road. The road is not big and is in the forest inland, Kala decided to separate from the main road and choose this road because he thinks this road is a shortcut that is common to the prinors pass.

Alang was on top of the middle tree perched and closed his eyes.

The bonfire in front of Kaia and Kala lit up brightly illuminating the trees around. Kala stabbed the two meat and roasted on the fire.

“You don't even know my name.” Kala broke his fingers. “Do you not want to know?”

Come to think of it, Kaia had not even asked Kala's name or heard his name. He was too cool to ask that basic question.

“What is important?”

Kala smiled thinly. Yeah, it's not important for someone who's gonna help her out. Not a big deal.

“What's your name?” Kaia finally asked even though she seemed to not care.

“My name is Kala Piningit. You can call me Kala or as you like.”

Kaia did not answer or nod once. Kala who is accustomed to his attitude can only be understood without being able to get angry.

Actually Kala wanted to ask more about the past or the life story about Kaia, but Kala could refrain from asking that because it would definitely get a cold response. However for the red eyes Kaia had, Kala could not help but ask.

“Why are your eyes bright red, Kaia?”

Kaia raised her eyebrows and replied, “What will these eyes prevent me from getting revenge?”

“It could be like that.” Kala smiled widely. “It could be that your red eyes will make me leave you here. Know it? I don't like coldness and I have the power to kill you right now.”

Although Kala's tone sounded very friendly and delicate, but it was enough to make Kaia shudder in fear. Kala had indeed accidentally unleashed a little bit of murderous lust earlier, it was because he wanted to kill Kaia right now!

“Ice Crystal Castle did this to me. I don't know what they did, but these red eyes appeared after I was held captive in the room ... with the animals ... they did that to me...”.

Kaia explained, she should have died by now if not for her mother sacrificing herself for her. The members of the Ice Crystal Castle mixed Kaia's virgin blood with a red crystal. After that Kaia was unconscious until finally she was in the slaughterhouse.

Kala's face turned bad. He knew what happened to Kaia was no small matter.

That said, there was an extremely rare crystal. That crystal would give anyone high strength without practicing. However, the crystal required thousands of lives to activate it.

After the tumbar quota is fulfilled, the crystal must be watered with the blood of a virgin girl. The girl was then overgrown with crystals next to her heart, those crystals that could make one reach the highest level of practice without the need to practice.

Ice Crystal Castle has been doing troublemaking lately, it turns out this is their goal. Maybe this crystal will be eaten by his patriarch.

What's even more horrible. This crystal takes over the life of the girl who is its host. If the host dies, it will die. If the crystal dies, then the host dies as well. And, the age of the crystal was not long.

“This is not a small problem that you can underestimate. This is about that legendary Demon Eye Crystal ..”.

Kala explained in as much detail as possible so that Kaia understood. Kaia's face turns bad along with Kala's story. The peak when Kala said that the age of the crystal will not be long.

“How ... how old is the crystal?”

“There are only a few who do this practice, and maybe the information is not correct. The age of the crystal was about three to five years. Can be faster, can be longer.”

“You're not kidding, are you?”

“Do you think I'm kidding?”

Both Kala and Kaia were silent. Kaia finally steeled her face to return cold.

“My life is little. Teach me faster to get revenge.” Kaia returned to her cold attitude.

“Not like that way ask please.” Kala shook his head slowly and told Kaia to sit in front of him.

No ill intentions were spared making Kaia comply. Now the distance with Kala is only one footstep left. Kala reached for Kaia's hand, but the girl quickly pulled her violently.

“What do you want to do?! Do you want to take the crystal in my body?”

“I don't want to take that crystal. But I can take it now if I start getting sick of you.” Kala's smile disappeared and the tone of speech was extremely cold.

Kala still stuck out her hand until Kaia's hand reached her own. Kala closed his eyes while draining the prana into his arm.

Kaia felt a warm and comfortable feeling creeping from her arms until it filled her entire body. He closed his eyes to enjoy this comfortable feeling.

All Kala did was inspect Kaia's body. This girl is eighteen. The crystal was really next to his heart. And, this girl has talent as a prince.

Every human being has a prana root. The pranic root serves to absorb prana in the universe and directly drain it to the center of the prana. The more roots, the faster the pratiknya level.

In general, one has ten to twenty prana roots. It is said to be talented if it has twenty-five prana roots.

Each human being will increase by three roots when he becomes a prince. And right now, Kaia has thirty prana roots. He would be a great swordsman if he practiced from childhood, and there would be many silat colleges looking for precious stones like this.

Unfortunately, Kaia is a villager whose talent is unknown to many. This made Kaia late to training.
