Chereads / Sword and Bloodline / Chapter 12 - First Master

Chapter 12 - First Master

"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 thought two heavy black hammers appeared on his hands.

"Arrgh!"

As soon as this hammers appeared on Lee's hands they landed on the ground, not that it fell, but it was so heavy that Lee's arm could not bear the weight!

"What the hell is this?" Lee stared at the monstrous heavy hammers which were a bit taller than the usual height. The hammers acted as though the ground was a magnet, his arms were too weak that it couldn't even budge it.

"These are the hammers you shall use to forge" with a grin on his face, Master Yang uttered.

"Forge what!.....I can't even lift this damn thing" Lee felt as though he was listening to a joke, it was entirely crazy.

"Yes, you shall use it for forging, your body strength is extremely weak, and so you need to first train your body, if you had been a mystical beast blood injector, I would have started to teach you forging right away. Each of the hammers weigh at least 300 Pims, if you can't wield them as though it is stone then don't come back here....and I give you only three weeks"

Note;( Pims is a unit of measurement, but doesn't vary with pounds)

"....." Lee was stupefied, his jaw was ajar, and his face was coloured with disbelief, this man was pragmatically asking him to lift a hammer twice his weight, an average second stage spiritual refinement stage cultivator would weigh at least 130 Pims, but a mystical beast blood injector would weigh almost twice!

Lee nodded thinking of how arduous his training is going to be.

Master Yang walked towards Lee, and then grabbed the two black hammers and with a flick of his hands he lifted it as though it was weightless, this caused Lee to be shocked stiff.

"Pull the ring closer and recall the hammers" the hammers weren't artifact like the storage ring that needed blood to bind, and also Lee wasn't able to propagate qi out of his body so his control was lacking, and more importantly Lee couldn't even lift the hammers....so such method was needed.

Lee nodded and pulled close, he stretched the ring towards the surface of the hammer, and with, but a thought the hammers returned to his now storage ring which he had worn on his finger.

"Once you return back to your clan, you can drop it and i should be only expecting you here when you have successfully gained the strength to lift it"

"You can leave now!" Master Yang waved his hands and as usual turned his back towards Lee.

Lee already understanding, bowed and quickly left the shop.

Few moments after Lee left, Master Yang who had his back turned against his shop, suddenly had a grin appear on his face.

"Kiki, that lad thinks he can scatter my plans like that, now I have set another task for him, even though somehow he was able to reach second stage in only few weeks, I entirely doubt he would be able to lift those hammers, someone like him who has a very weak body, Training his body would be extremely arduous and would take a long time, I'm smart"

Note; ( Kiki= Laughing mischievously)

"This time there would be no such thing as a surprise from him. I'm very sure Lee wouldn't think favourably of me, but I don't care. He thinks I just accepted him as my disciple when I know in few weeks, he would become a disciple of one of those big sects, finding a blacksmith wouldn't be hard at all"

"Naive boy!" Master Yang gently rubbed his beards, he had been entirely shocked by the closeness of Lee's Sword to the world, when he had, had his own tested, the hymn that rang out paled in contrast to that of Lee's.

He wasn't actually interested in Lee liking him, all he wanted was for Lee to become a disciple of his, and then he would be able to brag in the future of him being the first teacher of Lee who he was very sure, name would shake the blacksmith world!

***********

"Arrgh!"

Lee screamed as he tried to lift the black huge hammers which sat rigidly on the ground, his hands had become red and his veins had bugled out. his former radiant face had become pale white, while his breathing already erratic!

"Damn!" Lee who was already vexed sat angrily on the ground, ever since he returned from Master Yang's shop he had busied himself with the hammers, but it didn't yield any effect, though he wasn't expecting any change, he was extremest frustrated, how long did he know would take him before he could even lift it off the ground, not even talking of moving it like a stone.
