Lake Limau Martial Arts Center
A young man slumped in a corner, staring blankly ahead, lamenting his unfortunate fate. A young man who was struggling desperately to get what he wanted, like becoming a great warrior. A very simple desire, just wanting to be a great warrior without the desire to be feared or respected by many people. Hard efforts to do what the teacher asked, starting from imitating what was demonstrated and what he gave directions to being guided patiently every time. But all in vain; until this moment, there has been no improvement at all. Restlessness, anxiety, fear, and disappointment are what Fen Lian is feeling. All this time, she has tried her best to succeed, but in reality, fate has not wanted to change.Fen Lian herself felt that all her efforts were in vain, and by the middle of her martial arts training, she sensed that something was wrong with her. She had also talked to her teacher about this irregularity, but the teacher's answer was still the same: no advice other than to encourage Fen Lian to continue practicing what she had been taught so far. She has done everything the teacher has taught her, even trying to follow the advice given many times. Once or twice, there might still be the spirit and desire to try to manage what is in her. But Fen Lian could not always continue to struggle to achieve what she wanted.It came to a point where Fen Lian really felt tired and wanted to give up. Like what happened in the past few days, Fen Lian felt her spirit drop dramatically, almost losing it. The feeling of disappointment at the failure she was experiencing, plus the fact that all of her classmates had successfully advanced to the next level, meant that training would soon change. But she still stayed in place, as if there was no desire to move forward for the sake of the future she had planned.A few hours ago was the time when the teacher trainer tested the knowledge that his students had learned as well as the increase in knowledge. In this activity, all students are required to take the test, and the teacher is also kind enough to give up to ten chances to those who fail the test. There were five students who did not succeed in the first trial, but they succeeded in the second trial. Unlike Fen Lian, who failed on ten occasions,Isn't that great? It was great that he could fail ten times. Even though beforehand it was very mature, and of course the knowledge tested had been mastered by the students, somehow Fen Lian did not succeed at all. The teacher also pointed out that the reason for Fen Lian's failure was due to her lack of cultivation energy. From the beginning, the teacher had said that Fen Lian's cultivation ability was very poor, but that shouldn't be a problem because, in reality, there were a lot of people who had this defect but could do well."Until now, my ability to cultivate has failed; am I destined to be a warrior without cultivation? So what's the point of being a warrior if you can't cultivate?" Fen Lian said.Then he turned his head towards his training ground. He still remembered very well how the trial he had done earlier had gone, and while his other friends had all succeeded, there was only one person left, namely himself.Flashback on"Fen Lian, this is the last try; if you fail, then you have to repeat all the material from the beginning until now alone because your other friends have advanced to the next level. It's impossible for them to wait for you; it would be a waste of their time," the teacher told Fen Lian.Hearing her uncle's statement, Fen Lian instantly felt that the teacher was also disappointed in her, so it made Fen Lian feel a little bad about the teacher. But what else could she do? She had done everything right according to the teacher's teachings, but the results were still unsuccessful."So what should Fen Lian do, uncle?" Fen Lian asked the teacher almost every day."There is no success without effort; the failures you have made do not mean that you will forever fail. The only way is to keep practicing. Re-learn what your uncle taught you until you are able to master everything!" The teacher explained.Fen Lian was silent for a moment, digesting every sentence. She herself was also confused about her situation. Until now, it was still a question of what was wrong with him that he repeatedly failed to cultivate.A few seconds later, Uncle Master tapped Fen Lian lightly on the shoulder. While encouraging his disciple not to give up so easily."Fen Lian, keep practicing; your future doesn't stop here. I'll give you one week to repeat everything. Practice earnestly, and meet Uncle in this place!" Asked the uncle.Flashback off"Arrgghhttt...!!!""Until when do I have to be like this? Until when, huh? I'm tired!" Fen Lian shouted in frustration.Fen Lian scooped up her face roughly, not forgetting to take off her headband and throw the headband away. Completely frustrated this time, there was no longer any enthusiasm to fix things because the disappointment she felt was so great.Not long after, a group of well-built men came to Fen Lian in the hall. They looked very stern with a gait, like they were in charge of this place. Soon, the man called out Fen Lian's name."Fen Lian!"Fen Lian immediately looked up and stared at the man with her lazy gaze. Fen Lian recognized the man in front of her; they were Yier Yan and her group of teenage friends. But they had mastered all the moves, including excellent cultivation skills.Fen Lian got up from her seat lazily. "What do you want?" Fen Lian asked Yier."Nothing, I just want to say sorry about your failure, hahaha!"Loud laughter filled Fen Lian's ears. Yier and his friends were laughing at Fen Lian's failure. It made Fen Lian feel humiliated by her friends' behavior."Is it appropriate for you to laugh over your own brother's failure?" Fen Lian asked.Yier instantly furrowed his brow. "Who is my brother, you?" Asked Yier while pointing at Fen Lian. But a few seconds later, Yier laughed softly again. "I've never had a brother like you; my brother is a great swordsman capable of mastering several moves, not someone who can't cultivate like you! Rubbish!"Fen Lian glared at Yier's last sentence. After that, she stared at them with a hateful gaze."TRASH! There is no waste here!" Yier said it again, but this time using his mocking tone."WATCH YOUR LANGUAGE!""Tsk! What do you want—a fight? Come on, who's afraid?" Yier replied arrogantly."You....."Continued...."Forward all of you! I'm not afraid of you!"Yier Yan smiled sarcastically as she crossed her arms in front of her chest. Slowly but surely, Yier Yan stepped closer to Fen Lian. Without further ado, Yier Yan immediately delivered her death blow right to Fen Lian's stomach. It made Fen Lian fall to the ground because no matter how strong Fen Lian's defense was, it was still inferior to Yier, who had strong muscles and a large body. Fen Lian looked down while holding her stomach; the pain she felt was nothing compared to her heartache towards Yier. She quickly got up from her seat and returned the death blow with force.Here, Fen Lian's punch had no effect on Yier at all. She thought the blow she had just received was nothing; instead, she smiled sarcastically at Fen Lian's ability. The atmosphere was getting more and more heated; both of them were emotionally ignited, and their eyes were hostile to each other. At one point, they couldn't control their emotions, and a physical fight bro
Fen Lian walked out of the martial arts training hall in Lime Lake while carrying her clothes in a backpack. This time, Fen Lian was determined to leave Lime Lake and return to her pavilion for the time being. She felt a heavy heart as her feet stepped away from the training hall. Previously, Fen Lian had said goodbye to teacher uncle and told him to go back right now, but teacher uncle had originally forbidden Fen Lian to leave now. But since Fen Lian was adamant to go back right now, inevitably the teacher uncle could only support Fen Lian whatever the risk would be; he must have thought everything through.The longer the footsteps went, the farther away from Limau Lake they became. Fen Lian wandered unsteadily by the small bridge connecting the roads in the city. She was unwilling to leave Lime Lake, as it had been her home for the past few years. She had lived so long that she had become one with the atmosphere of her current home. But now he was forced to return to his original h
"It's true that my uncle said I failed to become a warrior!"Plak."YOU IDIOT! "What have you been doing all this time in Lake Lime?" I asked the uncle excitedly."Why did it fail?" Asked the uncle once again.Fen Lian sighed softly. "I failed cultivation; I didn't make the cut when everyone else did. That's why teacher uncle gave me time to go home and do some more training, after which I'll return to Limau Lake to retest," Fen Lian replied."Fool! Uncle doesn't want to know that you have to become a warrior in order to serve the kingdom of Sebrang. If you fail the second time, you'd better leave Jiangnan!" Uncle said as he walked away.Fen Lien glared in disbelief at his uncle's words. What he had feared before was now happening, and his uncle was angry at him for not being able to become a warrior. His stay at Limau Lake had been forced on him by his uncle, which made him feel a little relieved that his uncle didn't demand anything from him. But once he returned, he was forced to s
"Why doesn't this book have any cultivation knowledge?""What is this book exactly?" Fen Lian asked herself.During the past twenty minutes or so, she didn't see any theories about cultivation, only a collection of the same moves she had learned before. It made Fen Lian feel bored with the book in front of her.The thick book with old Roman writing inside managed to irritate her because she was very curious to see what was inside. But once he had seen it, it turned out that the big book only contained the moves he had learned."Never mind, I'm already lazy with this book. I'd better look for another book and see if I can find one about cultivation; it'll give me more knowledge about cultivation," Fen Lian said.After that, she got up from her seat and looked for a few more books on cultivation. Fen Lian looked for the book on the shelf that contained a bunch of books about cultivation. It was easy to find books because her father had placed them according to their titles and types. In
Limau Lake"Fen Lian, try going to the village to take part in the cultivation selection again; who knows if you can do it with someone else?""What's the difference between being tested by an uncle and someone else?" Fen Lian asked the teacher who had been guiding her."Come on, Fen Lian, there's no harm if you try. All warriors have their own ways, including uncles. Uncle doesn't mind if you join anyone's cultivation as long as you can become the kind of cultivator your uncle wants you to be," said the teacher uncle, begging Fen Lian to keep joining the cultivation selection.Fen Lian sighed softly when she heard her teacher's uncle's persuasion. She had never once intended to turn her back on her teacher, not even once. After all, Uncle Zhang, or as she called him, Teacher Uncle, was a warrior who was in the same school as her father. So Fen Lian insisted on being loyal to the teacher; all of this she did because she wanted to learn her father's knowledge even through other people.
The next day, Fen Lian came to a village with her teacher. There were many ordinary people and warriors gathered in the Kaojin village's meeting hall. The arrival of the greatest cultivator was something that attracted people's attention, so many locals came just to witness this event. The village of Kaojin had never been visited by cultivators at all, and this was the first time. It's not that they don't want to come to this town; it's just that there are very few talented children in this town. There were four cultivation prodigies who were already in the fourth stage of bone forging.This child is still ten years older than Fen Lian. These four children were already famous throughout the martial world because, at such a young age, they were able to cultivate well, while the twenty-year-old Fen Lian had yet to successfully cultivate. On this occasion, the four children were also present here as an example for all of them, so that they could create interest among the local people to
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be prepared because the cultivation test will be conducted sequentially according to the queue number on your respective cards.""All participants are required to follow the directions of the cultivator, and the organizers hope that there will be no disturbances at all!"Fen Lian's heart was racing as she heard the announcement about the cultivation test. Fen Lian, who had been standing still while staring straight ahead, was secretly thinking of a thousand ways to pass the cultivation test after never succeeding for so long. Moreover, seeing this closed room like a sea of people made his concentration even worse. What he remembered often changed; sometimes he remembered, sometimes he didn't remember. It made him feel even more scared.One by one, the participants were called to take the cultivation test. Fen Lian couldn't stop staring at those who were doing the test intently, as a picture for herself later when doing the test. But in reality, each sect
After being declared a cultivation failure, Fen Lian left the place feeling whipped. For the umpteenth time, she had to fail again in cultivation. Fen Lian had already promised herself that after failing, she would not want to cultivate again. Because it would be a waste of time, it would be useless to try again with the same result of failure. Fen Lian walked helplessly, her mind blank, only sadness consuming her. Until a few seconds later, she was already quite far from the place when suddenly a small child approached her. It was Xiao, the little boy she knew at that place.The little boy walked hand in hand with Fen Lian because Xiao was so small, to the point that Fen Lian was unaware of Xiao's presence beside her. Similarly, Xiao, who felt that she was being ignored, immediately raised her voice."Hey! Adults can't be sad!" Xiao said suddenlyHearing that, Fen Lian suddenly snapped out of her reverie. She turned her head and looked down to see where Xiao was standing next to her.
