Ying Lei woke up early in the morning packing his luggage getting ready for school. After awhile, Yinglei rushed down as he smelled the aroma of food, after all who does not like to eat. YingLei saw his father but was surprise his father look normal once more as if what happened yesterday was just a dream. Seeing the food on the table, YingLei rushed to get seated and ready to eat.
While eating YingLei asked
" How am i going to school today."
His father replied "
You will only join after the first term ends during that time i will train you."
YingLei asked
"How are you going to train me. Isn't cultivating and learning martial skills the most important why is there a need to train?"
the Father replied
"The first cultivating stage is body refining for a reason. One must not only be physically fit to endure the pain of advancing but also to be able to fight a long fight this is something everyone neglects."
YingLei replied "I understood will do as you say."
After breakfast YingLei went to his room to unpacked his luggage and got ready for training. In the living room, YingLei father asked "What is your weapon of choice."
YingLei replied
"Sword."
His father went to his room leisurely and picked a sword and passed it to YingLei.
While his father was holding a Large Dadao, the blade was almost as large as his father's wide body. YingLei askedhis father "Sword this big should be fragile is it not?" His father replied "You can try to see if it is truly fragile. Lets begin the training."
After 4 hours of training YingLei was lying on the floor breathless and was completely soak in sweat while his father when to the kitchen to cook dinner. Yinglei was wondering who was his father as during the training his father was able to accurately aim for his weak spot with minimal movement. After an hour or so, YingLei was finally able to move but his body aches so much he was liferally a walking dead constantly limbing or draging his feet towards the living room.
After much afford he was able to get seated.
His father spoke
"At the current body limit you at you will be last in class so you either drop out or train hard choice is yours. You will train for one week and be test by me to see how far you are at. Regardless of sword skill or stamina you train both."
YingLei replied
" Yes father."
After lunch, YingLei father passed him a muscle pain relieved ointment to apply.
After applying the ointment, YingLei was able to feel his muscle relaxing alot and those muscle aches are no longer that pain. YingLei when with a easy training by using the training method of the US marines. As people in this world seem to have a much stronger and tougher body thus the training was not that stressful on him. Unbeknowing to YingLei, his father was watching him on the treetop. Seeing the way his son trained remained him of how he was in the past. His father return home immdiately to notice the same figure that appear last night.
He asked
"Why are you here? I told you my son will be joining mid term."
The figure replied jokingly
"Why are you still so cold and only warm when you are with your wife? Either way the carriage is at the entrance of the Sage trible. The carriage is being pulled by tier 6 light holo horse so the travel time will be half a month or so if everything is smooth. To ensure that, I have appoint a general to accompany him. Don't worry the general does not know of your existence if that is what you are concern about."
YingLei father replied with anger
"I don't care, whether my existence is known it is of no concern here. My son safety is. If I have come to know that my child is injured or harm in anyway you can prepare a funeral."
The figured shivered
"Don't worry i have appoint 10 Hell guards to follow the carriage for addition safety more over the baron city the academy recite in does not even have general so it is definitely safe."
His father walkes towards the figure and said
"Someone that strong definitely have reputation. If people knew he was protecting someone he must be of importance. You should peace we maybe among us but human greed can't be controlled. You best wished my child reach there safe."
The figure replied
"Don't worry this general is send by your father and you know that he is always careful."
A hint of saddness was seen on YingLei father as he heard that the carriage was arranged by YingLei grandfather.
The figure left the place with fear remembering the anger in the eyes of YingLei father. At night YingLei when home, soaked in sweat and was almost breathless. Yinglei father told him to wash up and eat dinner. Yinglei Complied. After dinner YingLei when to his room to test whether he could create a second shadow. He failed his second creation but the result of the test was utmost satifactory. His shadow can materialise at will and can be covered in self created armor so noone can tell as the shadow is just a silhouette. This way YingLei can create his own immortal army just like how persian did but his does not need to be replaced with a trained soldier as he can just create one more with intact memory of the last. Each shadow can be train uniquely to attained different skills for different situations.
