Capítulo 16: Training Renxue
Gold and Silver what a comparison. Both of them had purple eyes as well!
Simply beautiful!
"I would like you to train me with a sword. I have heard from your maid that you are good with it!" My future wife said with quite a proud tone.
She is still far away from being perfect so we going to need to train her…
"Indeed. Though what will I get from training you?" I asked with a smirk on my lips
My words quickly took her from high horse, she expected that I will accept it without asking anything back.
You know. The whole thing is that she is my future wife there shouldn't be any sort of give-or-take relationship.
In truth… in a way she is right! BUT! that's when she is properly trained.
"...You have me as your Fiance what else do you need!?" She said with a grumpy tone.
"You train your maids all the time! And they don't give you anything back!"
"Wrong. I train them because they completely belong to me. They will do anything which I would ask, from fighting to dancing, To playing musical instruments. All that to please me." I simply explained with a shrug.
"Then this is no different!!!"
As she said that she was quite ignorant of what she just said. So cute.
"Is it? If you say that. Then I can train you. But are you sure?"
For a few moments she was confused, but then she had thoughtful look. Before she blushed hard.
"...YOU… I am not going to accept to be a toy for you!" She said that with red cheeks.
'I do wonder what she imagined. At age 9 she already has kinky imagination?'
"As your future wife, I expected to be treated with respect! I am your princess!"
She said with a huff and crossed arms.
"...I see. Then there is no point for me to train someone who will have arbitrary choice making with techniques and moves I will teach you."
"I won't do that! My strength is linked directly to your image! What would people think when they see my strength and cultivation being much lower than yours!?" She said that with an annoyed look but there was a small-looking smug smile on her lips.
'Already showing manipulative side, truly a child of those.'
"True I suppose. But I will be extra vigilant and will 'punish' you for abusing my techniques without my consent."
As I said that for a few moments she stiffed but then slowly nodded at me.
My blond angel wife-to-be has agreed to my conditions.
"Good. I will type down your training schedule after we do some tests."
"Training schedule?"
"Indeed. I will train you properly."
This time she paled for a bit when she heard that.
~~~
"When it comes to martial arts one always starts with basics."
As Xue Long said that he had a training sword in his hands he swirled it casually in his hands. Showing how natural he was with it.
"Sword has two means to attack, stab and slash, because of its smaller size compared to other weapons it's quite fast."
As he said he showed how quick he can be with it. Thrusting and slashing leave behind sounds of metal cutting air.
"While the attacks are not as powerful as a spear's thrust, it is much more agile.
In some circles, martial artists compare the sword to a tiger and the spear to a dragon.
Most of the time because of how they attack and fight. Tiger uses its mouth and paws, while dragon prefers to use its massive mouth with jaws."
As he explained all that Qian Renxue had thoughtful look as she remembered that the Xue Long's maid had dragon themed spear.
"Now back to the sword. Sword power doesn't compare to the spear's sheer force of the thrust power. However, it makes up for it by fluid moves between strikes and how many times it can attack in the same time frame compared to a spear.
Now observe this first style is called Cloud style."
As he said he took a stance which made the blonde eyes widen for a bit. She felt a change in the atmosphere and the surroundings.
It's like the world is about to warp!?
That moment she recalled what that maid said!
Something about martial arts turning to pseudo-Martial spirit avatars?
As she thought about that she saw the training sword glow white. As he started his fluid-looking sword movements!
Slash, stab, swirl, slash down, slash up, spin, the way he moved reminded her of clouds and how different they were and the more she saw the more she understood what this form was!
As in she had a visual understanding of what he wanted to show!
What Qian Renxue didn't know she understood because Xue Long's Arthan's meditation is closely approaching stage five which has domain ability. In other words just by showing he transmitted half of understanding of what he was doing and what he wants to show!
By the time he was done the area has been filled with ghostly clouds of all shapes and sizes she even tried to touch them out of sheer curiosity!
What she felt was that she was brushing her hands through metal!
'W-What if these were sharp!?'
A silly thought appeared in her mind…
'Being killed by fluffy clouds how one should feel about that?'
Internally she snorted in amusement!
However, her amusement-filled daze was blown away when she heard a ghostly roar.
All the clouds were blasted out when she saw a blue dragon rise from behind her future husband.
It was strange to see a dragon which was not golden. This only lasted for a few seconds as she noticed that this dragon had a long body similar to that of a serpentine being.
"Renxue, this is the second form which I want to show you. It's called the Blue Dragon."
Her eyes for a second widened. Dragon with a sword? Didn't he just contradict himself!?
However, she quickly saw what he meant!
Xue Long started with a rapid sword thrust. Similarly that to spear thrust. Followed by spin moves as if he was spinning with a spear however to compensate for the sword's short reach he used the sword's sheet!
'That's why he is holding it in his other hand!'
The more she watched this the more she realised that this style is meant to provoke the enemy to get close because of how open he looked. However, this was a trick because the moment someone would approach he would release a flurry of slashes!
And the dragon dancing above him only proved the point! It looked like an arrogant beast which plays with its prey before finishing off with a powerful thrust of a sword.
Even though the sword was a training sword without any sharp edges the force behind that thrust just blasted a portion ground.
'And he did all that without any sort of spirit energy…'
That moment Qian Renxue was sold that she can be strong without even using her Seraphim. While Its powerful Martial Spirit…
But if she could add this kind of power from just being good with a weapon!?
Then she would be more powerful than anyone could hope to be!
Giddiness washed her over as she saw the blue dragon slowly disappearing alongside the clouds.
What she saw just opened her eyes that there is more to this than just spirit rings and spirit ring abilities!
~~~
As Xue Long walked over he handed over the training sword to his fiance.
The moment Qian Renxue touched it she felt she knew how to proceed just by holding this weapon!
'Did the weapon retains some of the things he did!?'
In truth, she was elated that something like that exist. However, the blonde quickly realised that the weapon was quite heavy. So, she started channelling her spirit energy.
But…
*FLICK*
"Ouch! Why did you flick my forehead!?" She asked with an angry pout!
"No spirit energy."
The moment he said that she felt like he decided to divorce her!
Pure horror! That thing was heavy for her 9-year-old body!
"B-But!"
"No buts. When you build a house first you start with the foundation. Once foundations are placed then you build the house. You don't do two things at the same time."
"... But I can train my spirit energy control and learn to wield the sword!"
"Nope. You don't train your spirit energy. What you do is channel energy into your hand… and that is it.
Now imagine you run out of spirit energy and you can't hold the sword because of how heavy it is. Now that would be embarrassing. Isn't it?"
The moment he said that Qian Renxue forgot about Spirit Energy. Just imagining the scene where it could happen to her!
She would instantly kill herself from the amount of shame she would feel.
"Ok… let's start then!"
As she said that she tried to hold it.
However, it was difficult!
"First is the stance…" As he said it he helped her to try to assume the stance of Cloud style but just trying to hold a sword with one hand was difficult!
"Then you have to slash follower by a stab. That is the opening move of cloud style."
"... it's too heavy."
"Indeed. You will need to try this until you can do these two moves.
This means before you can begin with your sword practice you need to build up muscles."
As he said that he switched her stance into something simple and that is just swinging a sword.
"Now do this 500 times."
"!!!"
"...Did… your maids did this as well?"
"Indeed they did everything and more without complaining not even once."
The moment he said that Qian Renxue stopped complaining… as in not just now. She would never complain again when it comes to training with her future husband.
~~~
When it was time to rest the blonde girl tried to cultivate her spirit energy and what she felt in this garden made her eyes bulge.
She was wondering why this area felt so nice. And it was how potent Spirit energy was here!
'No wonder that silver-haired maid cultivated the whole time we trained! This area is even better than Spirit Hall!'
As she thought about this she greedily started to absorb spirit energy and improve her cultivation base.
Then… she felt like an avalanche of spirit energy descended from the sky! Her mouth opened wide and she opened her eyes what she saw was… her Xue Long cultivating!
And it was… simply out of this world.
The energy was heavily concentrated in his general vicinity! It was like he is pulling energy from very heaven itself!
A few moments later white mist spread throughout the whole garden area and this potent energy started to saturate, the dirt, grass, trees and everything else!
The golden lion which was sleeping under a tree woke up and walked over closer to his master and started greedily absorbing the most potent Spirit energy.
'This feline! Has no shame at all!' As the blonde Saintess thought about it, she walked over closer and did the very same thing!
If she is to cultivate this close she should not get behind…much compare to her future husband.
This whole session lasted over four hours.
What she achieved over this time was around 20 to 25 hours of regular cultivation!
Simply put this is better than cultivating in Spirit Hall!
"We are done for today. Na'er return to Palace, tell the cooks I want beef stew for today."
"At once! My Prince!" After saying that the girl was gone with supernatural speed.
"Let's go Renxue."
"A-Alright! Umm… what is this cultivation you did?" She asked curiously.
Now she knew how he achieved this rapid means of cultivation!
If they could cultivate this fast… they could achieve Titled Douluo before even being 20!
"It's understanding of balance of the world, if you can grasp that you can cultivate like me."
"...What does this even mean!?"
"Exactly. Once you grasp that I can teach you to do that."
