Chapter 110: Training with Master

Although he couldn't tell the exact output of the attack, he could tell that it was without a doubt the strongest attack he had done until now.

Just the first strike alone was better than Smiting Blade, yet the second strike somehow far surpassed that.

'What would the third strike be like?' he wondered. He held his blade next to him once again and started pouring in the Qi. In the end, he swung the sword directly towards the wall once more.

A very sharp green slice came out of the sword and hit the wall far away.

BOOM

A big explosion rang out at the wall. However, instead of being happy, Alex frowned.

"The damage is much lower than I expected. It's barely any better than the second strike and yet it uses more Qi." He started to believe that his fire abilities were only good because of the Yang Qi. Now that Yang Qi wouldn't help Wood element, his true power finally showed.

"I guess I really have a bad spiritual root. I guess I don't care as long as it doesn't hamper me in my path in alchemy. Cultivating and fighting are just extra stuff for me. But still, it hurts a bit, knowing that I have a bad spiritual root." He thought.

He decided to only use the first 2 sword strike from now on since the third strike was bad when considering Qi to Damage ratio. Still, practicing it just in case he ever needed it was not a bad idea.

He kept on practicing for another hour and finally stopped when his Qi ran out. Sending out wind slices continuously for an hour was really draining for him.

A few minutes later Wen Cheng arrived just to see him down on the ground panting heavily.

"Oh, are you done for today?" he asked.

"Ah, Master. Yes, I'm done for today. I have run out of Qi." He said.

"Oh, okay. How much did you learn? Did you manage to practice some of the footwork?" he asked.

"Oh, I learned the whole thing master. It took me 5 hours to read it."

"5 Hours? Okay, lets tes- HUH? You finished reading all of this in just 5 hours?" Wen Cheng was shocked. When Alex had said fast, he had thought he was talking about taking just a few days to learn the stuff, but to finish it in a few hours? That was too shocking.

"Stand up. I will test you to see if that is true." He ordered sternly. He needed to check if he was lying or not, as it was a really hard thing to believe.

Alex stopped panting and stood up with his sword at the ready. Wen Cheng internally nodded when he saw that he was using a stance from the Elusive Heavenly Sword.

"Come," He said giving permission for Alex to attack. Alex too didn't waste another second and lunged forward with his sword. Wen Cheng saw the sword coming and stepped to the side to dodge it. At the same time, he also used his own sword to make a simple yet precise attack.

Alex immediately moved his feet in such a way that his whole body twisted to barely dodge the attack. Using the same momentum, he once more twisted his body to get in another attack from the side.

Wen Cheng's eyes widened at this. 'His body has yet to properly adapt to the technique, but he himself knows what he is doing. Just a few more days of continuous practice and he will become an expert at this rate.' Wen Cheng was truly shocked seeing Alex fight.

Wen Cheng once more dodged the sword and started making his own hits faster. Alex however, was dodging every single attack that was coming his way.

The fight went on for about 5 more minutes before Wen Cheng's hits were just too fast for Alex to dodge and finally got hit. He was hit straight in the chest and sent flying into the wall.

He dropped to the ground and started coughing. Wen Cheng on the other hand had bright eyes full of admiration. "Are you okay, Yu Ming?" he asked.

He stopped coughing and answered, "Yes, master."

"Good. You have truly learned the Elusive Heavenly Sword. A few more days of it, and you can be considered a Master at it."

"So, for tonight you will go back to your room and cultivate until you are challenged by someone. However, by 9 pm tomorrow, rank up until you are…. Let's see," Wen Cheng checked something using a medallion and said, "Okay, rank up until you are at 194. The person with that badge is a realm lower than you, but since they've been here for a long time, they will probably have more fighting experience than you."

"Only after acquiring the badge 194 will I give you the other techniques. If you can't get it, I will just train you in the sword for another day. Now, Go and cultivate. It would be good if you can breakthrough within the week. The faster the better."

"Yes, Master," Alex was about to leave when he suddenly stopped. "Umm… Master, you said I should break through as fast as I can?"

"Yeah. The faster you get stronger the better." Wen Cheng simply said.

"Umm… So I can breakthrough today?" he said.

"Yes, Of course. Go back and meditate properly. Be in the best state so that you don't fail your break through," Wen Cheng said.

"Are you saying this because you don't know, Master? I thought master told you about me."

"About you? What else is there to know about you? Ma Rong just told me a few things as to what to do. Although, she did say something about me being surprised by your talent. "

"But I already have been. You being able to learn the Elusive Heavenly Sword in 5 hours was very surprising. So I don't think there is anything else left." Wen Cheng said.

Alex finally understood. Ma Rong had purposefully kept his cultivation and learning talent a secret. Wen Cheng didn't really know how talented he was in regards to cultivation. He was mistaken by his own information.

Alex chuckled a little and asked. "So, Master didn't tell you that I can breakthrough whenever I want, did she?"
