2024-10-29 19:42:56"No need for that, there isn't much that you need to know again, come back here tomorrow, your training would officially begin, you can leave now" Master Yang said has he then waved his hands, with this he raised his feet and walked farther from Lee.
Lee nodded his head and gave a deep bow, with this he walked out of the shop.
*********
Outside the shop
"Master Yang is not only arrogant but sly, with a teacher like him, I don't need to be emotionally attached, it would be pretty easy to find a better teacher when i reach Master Grindsea's sect!" Lee quickly resolved in his heart, though he didn't have a favourable expression of Master Yang, he was extremely excited about the fact that he had become the disciple of the famous arrogant blacksmith, with this his status would immediately skyrocket, as a lot had tried but failed.
Lee lifted his steps, but he hadn't walked far when Azure popped out of his garment, Lee couldn't help but wonder how the cub was able to sleep comfortably while he was fiercely battling with Bloodsnake. Azure quickly sat on his shoulder and then Lee merged with the human crowd till his figure vanished.
************
"You sleep a lot boy!"
Lee who immediately after he returned from Master Yang's shop hit the hay, he slept for hours, till the sun returned to the horizon and night came.
Lee who had been slowly yawning, suddenly sprang up upon hearing the coarse strange voice in his room, where he assumed should be only him present.
"Father, that wasn't nice at all" Lee pursued his lips, and couldn't help but frown a little.
"Hey, you slept all day, did you lift mountains at Master Yang's place" Skyfire who was sitting quietly on the only chair in Lee's room, said with s grin on his face.
"Ohh, Master Yang" Upon hearing this name, Lee's eyes lit up and then a slight smile appeared on his face.
"Father, I have a surprise for you!"
"And, what could that be?!" Skyfire said while he slowly rubbed his chin.
"I've become the disciple of Master Yang!" Lee poured out excitedly.
"Ohh!" Skyfire was extremely surprised, was it the same arrogant blacksmith, who even he had to respect, take his son as a disciple, if Master Yang was a powerful cultivator, he would have assumed the man had been attracted by his son's talent, but a blacksmith... his son had never practiced forging before, there wasn't any connection!
"Lee, tell me all that happened?" Skyfire immediately asked, all of it seemed outlandish to him.
"Ok, when I first arrived at...." Lee began to narrate everything that happened, and didn't leave out his battle with Bloodsnake, and how shameless Master Yang had acted.
"Lee, you are already at the second stage of spiritual refinement?....How did you do that?" Skyfire felt has though his head was eddying, in just two weeks!
" I was just lucky father!" Lee couldn't tell that Azure supplied him with mystical cores, it was too big a matter, not that he didn't trust his father, but sometimes certain issues are better left unknown!
Skyfire stared at his son, and began to wonder how the lad reached the second stage in few weeks, he was very experienced and so he knew that opening spiritual paths needed an enormous supply of energy in addition to talent.
Lee had the talent, but for the supply of energy, he didn't know where the lad got that.
"*Sigh*"
"Whatever means he used I don't care as long as it isn't vicious and unscrupulous, I'm satisfied!"
"That arrogant Yang, he tried to use such means, If Bloodsnake had defeated you, he would still accept you, but it would seem as though he did it out of pity, I don't like the character of that blacksmith!"
"Lee are you sure you want to become a blacksmith, you know as a swordsman!" Skyfire couldn't help but ask worriedly.
"Father, I want to, though master Yang words can't be trusted, there is still an iota of truth in his explanation"
"But if things doesn't turn out the way he says, I have nothing to lose, I would just quit!"
"Ohh, that's good" Skyfire nodded his head, he was satisfied with Lee's thought.
"But, son you should be proud, if those elders, especially that elder chu hears you have become the disciple of Master Yang, haha...I can't wait to see the expression on his face"
"Hahaha" Lee chuckled, the father and son duo should be ready for a heart attack.
***********
Darkness dispersed and light took turn, bringing in the morning gladness, creatures staring at the scorching sun which never lose it's beauty and glamour, Vine city in appreciation to this was as busy as ever.
Lee stood in front of Master Yang's shop for a while, with Azure standing gallantly on his shoulder. He closed his eyes for a breath and then reopened it with a bright light of determination and readiness in his eyes, with this he opened the door of the shop.
The beautiful inside of the shop filled his eyes once again, but this time with a sense of familiarity, even with this admiration still flashed across his eyes.
Surprisingly, this time he didn't have to search around for Master Yang the latter was already seated on a metal chair, with a blank expression on his face.
Lee quickly cupped his hands and bowed "Master Yang ".
" Hmm, welcome, know you are no longer a nobody in my sight, but my student, so I need to gift you something small" With this Master Yang waved his hands and a light shot towards Lee.
Lee gently stretched his hands, and the light dropped on his palm, it was then that Lee stared at it, and to his surprise, it was a ring, not just any ring but a storage ring!
"Master Ya...." Lee was stupefied, in his clan you had to have a very high status before one could be gifted a storage artifact, but here was Master Yang just casually handing him one....a blacksmith was indeed rich, this even spiked his interest in blacksmithing!

"Inside the storage ring is three sheaths with each containing a frigid property enough to suit your essence weapon, but most importantly there is a pair of hammer in the ring, that's the core of your training, quickly bind it with you blood""Ok!" Lee excitedly nodded his head, and then, quickly summoned Blueflame which he then used to cut his finger, he returned it into his body and immediately placed a drop of blood on the storage ring.The drop of blood was quickly absorbed by the ring, and immediately Lee felt a sudden strange feeling in his mind, he could now clearly see the inside of the ring, true to Master Yang's word there were three sheaths and a pair of hammers in the ring."Pull the hammers out" Master Yang immediately commanded.Lee nodded his head, and with a th

"How in the world, am I suppose to do this?" Lee rose up angrily, he hadn't, ever since he began training tried to cultivate his body, so it was quite annoying."Bang!" " Bang!"Lee out of frustration, began to strike the surface of a tree nearby, he badly wanted to abate his anger.It didn't take much breath, before he stopped striking the tree, as his knuckles had become red and sore, Lee breathed out, and poured out the last bit of anger in him."..." Lee's gaze suddenly fell on the spot where he had brutally punched, and then an expression of shock filled his face, on the surface of the tree were faint cracks which didn't seem quite impressive

"Clan head Skyfire, pardon me, but I disagree with you" Elder Chu with no emotion of any sort on his face said. This made his words feel blank!"Ohh" Echoes of shock filled the hall, the elders stared at Elder chu in amazement .....such boldness!"Do you have a better one!" Skyfire pursued his lips into a thin line, he questioned Elder Chu as patient as he could be."I don't mean to be rude, but I think your plan is a bit defective. It is visible to each and every of us that this clan though are increasing in strength each day, but compared to our clan their power is infinitesimal"Everyone nodded in agreement, essence blood couldn't even cover this gap, a clan like Wateredge which had existed for decades would have gathered more force compared to a clan which was just beginning to rise.

"Weakling you just called me?" Skyfire slowly walked in, with the gait of a leader. On his face was a slight smile which held in it mockery."Yeah, so, isn't that what you are" Bloodwolf stared at Skyfire with no sort of expression on his face."Ohh, I see. If I remember well, the last time we fought, you didn't..." Skyfire pressed his eyebrows, and drew his lips into a thin line, his face had a hidden mockery in it. But before he could complete his words, Bloodwolf cut him shut."Must you always bring that up?!" Bloodwolf pointed his fingers towards Skyfire with his face red hot with anger."Hey, let me know what happened, did you trash this old bastard" Saber Ghoul on hearing Skyfire's words, rose up from his seat and stared interestingly at the both."

"For a while, I walked in immediately after those lofty clan heads left, and I appreciate greatly all that this brute had said" The man who had suddenly appeared said as he smiled venomously."Fieryboulder, he was just been careful" The mayor hurriedly said, he didn't want himself or Darkneedle to appear on the wrong side of this man."I actually don't care, for now I will act like a dove, but be careful to watch your back, cause immediately I achieve what I am here for. Haha, you would be in for some mess" Fieryboulder uttered and raised his eyebrows mockingly. To a man with the heart of a boulder like his, his threats were never mere!"You know what am here for?"Fieryboulder said he signalled with his hands towards the mayor.<
Sword and Bloodline Double Breakthrough II
A breakthrough! at this moment!Lee was shocked stiff, though he wasn't entirely sure, he could only relate the strange energy building up in his body as a means of breakthrough.As he continued to absorb the mystical core the strange energy began to grow. Lee gently began to direct the energy from the mystical core to force open his unopened spiritual path, like this, all the energy began to slam on the barrier in the spiritual paths.The barrier in the spiritual paths which in the past few weeks had been constantly hammered by the energy from the mystical core, had lost some of its resistance.The protracted action didn't seem to affect the serene Lee who just sat gently on rock.
Sword and Bloodline Fourth stage
"I have no idea where I have struck with this luck?. Or could it be as a result of the body cultivation I went through" Lee couldn't help but wonder. That was the only only reasonable thing he could think of."That's not possible, even though I have a somewhat strange body that is attuned to body cultivation which is baffling, it no way can produce this type of terrific entity" Lee thought and couldn't help but mock himself for such unreasonable thought. "Probably it is linked to the totem space".Lee scanned through this thought in less than a breath, and it was then that the huge silver drop prepared for a clash!" Roar!"Like the roar of thunder, the silver energy drop sounded out and lightning-quick sped towards the barrier.

"Fellow cultivator I'm Iron Fist" The human giant said as he bowed slightly."I'm Blue. I hope you take it easy on me" Lee said as he also bowed. It was easy for him to defeat the duo because they weren't too strong, not as Youngblood who even could have also defeated them, the man's speed was quite enough.The duo had already left the platform, as for the cultivator with daggers, after been hit by such attack, It wasn't surprising that he passed out."Hmmph!" The human giant only snorted and didn't say anything more, he slammed his gauntlet covered fist together, which disrupted the air a bit, the message was simple, he didn't talk much his fist did the talking!"I think this is the end for this lad!""It's the end. Iron Fist is a usual in the top 16, he isn't going to lose this match!""I place my bet on Iron Fist!"Several voices rang out among the crowd, they seemed to have envisioned Lee crawling out of the platform.Lee took on a battle stance, Iron Fist who had unleashed his my

"I admit defeat!" With despondency in his voice, Youngblood yelled out.Gasps of shock filled the Arena, the duration of time Lee used to defeat the latter was pretty short, it was less than twenty breaths, the others in stage had shock flash across their eyes."Such a lad!""I place my bet on him!"The crowd began to cheer, as to them a new source of money had appeared, it was in this same breath that another scream of pain filled the air."I admit defeat!!" This latter didn't yell with sadness, but pains, his face was badly battered, his garments were drenched with blood, he looked more like a rag doll.When Lee stared at the cultivator who did it, he was no longer shock at the state of the wounded man.The man was a human giant, he was more than burly, each of his arms were like twice of Lee's thighs, he wore gauntlets that were shining like as though light was reflected on it.From what Lee could see the man was a brute, his aura and presence was very intimidating, he hailed the c

"Boom!""Boom!"In few seconds Lee and Youngblood had exchanged several blows, and with every clash, Lee seemed to have the upper hand, Youngblood was beyond shocked he couldn't understand how he a mystical blood injector is been suppressed by a Essence swordsman in body strength!"Boom!"Lee hacked Blueflame towards Youngblood's head who immediately blocked with his heavy sword, the power behind the attack sent him taken several steps backwards."I don't know how you manage to posses such demonic strength, but I tell you I'm going to end this child's play right now" Youngblood snorted. He clenched his fists hard, mustering all the mystical blood power he could handle, the lightning dancing through his eyes doubled, a faint cry of a bird rang out from his throat, his aura had become extremely domineering, he was planning to go all out. It sounds long but all of it happened in few breaths"It's a Lightning Crow mystical blood he absorbed!" Lee muttered slightly under his breath, this b

Arena of Heroes(2)
Lee stared at the wooden token on his hands, and he couldn't help but grin, it was slowly getting closer to the matches, the token was quite similar to the one given to him in the Raging storm palace, it was inscribed with the number '22', the first set of battles that were coordinated in the Arena of heroes were in form of a battle royale, they went in, in groups of varying numbers depending on the amount of participants for each cultivation stage.No matter the amount of participants, the number of groups would not exceed sixteen, but in rare cases could only be lower.For the stage which Lee had registered for which was the fourth stage, they were to go in a group of eight, so this eight would engage in a battle royale, were only one person was needed, so in a group only one winner was needed....…"Citizens of Vine city, another edition of battles is about to occur in the Arena of Heroes, are you excited?!"A very sonorous and energy filled voice rang out throughout the stadium, L

Lee remained motionless for several breaths, the sudden change of events, and the realization that he would have ran mad if his sword totem didn't interfere gave him goosebumps, his robe was wet from sweat as though a bucket of water had been poured on him."If my sword totem hadn't interfered, that is how my mind would have been thrown in chaos, whoever created this is crazy, I bought with my hands what could have almost killed me" Lee couldn't help but shake his head, a part of him was wishing he had let the dark skinned man buy the art."I wasn't traumatized for nothing, at least I ended up creating mental energy" Lee grinned like a Cheshire cat, Lee immediately opened the box containing the needles, he was anxious to test how mental energy worked, he closed his eyes and directed his consciousness towards the mental space which resided in his forehead same as his dantian.Lee wrapped his mind around the floating milky white mental energy ball, it was the first form of mental energy

Mental Energy
Lee could be seen seated in a lotus position on a bed in a small room that had only a wooden table and chair, this didn't look like the proper room of Lee in his father's residence. It was with no doubt not Lee's room, after Lee had accepted the Dragon call needles, he had wanted to start cultivating the art, but courtesy demanded him not to, with him not able to fulfill this wish he decided to lose himself in his thoughts and that was what he did till the auction ended, he didn't even know what the main item was, he speedily left the palace and searched around for an inn where he could rent and cultivate the art, it didn't take long before he found one. Lee brought out the scroll and needles from his storage ring, he unfolded the scroll and began to read through the content, it took a while before he digested everything. Lee could not help but shake his head, no wonder cultivators ran mad, you had to place your mind under some certain amount of pressure, it was like placing an heav

The auctioneer smiled upon hearing this, one gold coin wasn't small in any manner, the Fire Limg seed though was rare, but in normal circumstances it shouldn't be sold at such rate, to be able to sell at this rate was a great bonus to her company."Anyone increasing the price?!" The pretty auctioneer said has she increased the loudness of her voice."I guess I have to give up, who knew you desperately wanted the seed" The cultivator in box '20' said with a hint of jeer in his voice.Song Chu's face suddenly became pale, he squeezed his fist tight as anger began to roar in him. He had been played badly, the cultivator didn't have any interest in the seed, he had intentionally dragged with him to increase the price, and then back off when the price had reached an outrageous point, and it worked perfectly, now he had no more chance of struggling with the others for the main material of the day."That bastard, i need to find out who he his, no matter who he is I must make sure I cause tro

The first thing that caught his attention was the open space in front of the box, which represented some sort of window and view for the auction.Lee sat on the wooden seat prepared and stared at the stool beside him that had a wine on it. Lee shook his head, he wasn't quite interested, he had his mind focused on the materials that would showcase in the auction.In few minutes the auction room was already filled to the brim, the most conspicuous sight was the wooden boxes that stood in the auction room, a lot of gazes were directed towards them. Although those in the boxes didn't signify the strongest, it was some sort of means of flaunting your wealth, though not everyone had this intention, some people are so particular of their identities, like Lee is.The air suddenly became relaxed and perverted as the attention of most of the males in the auction was directed towards the platform at their front.A pretty young lady suddenly appeared on the platform.

The Gathering Point of Vine city, wasn't only comprised of people a group together, there are some certain sights that allured people towards the Gathering point. One of it being the sumptuous building of Raging Storm Palace.A pretty colossal building that was shaped like a rectangle with a hole in the midpoint. There was a circular gap at the centre of the building, leaving an open diameter of space at the top of it, which was covered with long unique iron bars forged by blacksmiths with high class.The Raging Storm Palace was a foreign settlement, that came to Vine city to sell artifacts, pills, weapons and sometimes even some rare mystical beasts. Auctions are only done in Raging Storm Palace when some queer or powerful materials are found, such was what was happening today.Lee was like a grain lost in the sea of humans, that treaded towards Raging Storm Palace
