Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, by then the boy had finished consolidating his base and was in the next room practicing his sword techniques.
Contrary to what one might think, the child did not move at an ultra-fast speed like in the movies, towards each movement very slowly, trying to make his body remember how to perform each small movement correctly, but perhaps it would. more surprising was that despite performing each move slowly, he executed them perfectly, slowly approaching the level of late achievement.
Suddenly, the speed of execution of his movements began to accelerate little by little, from one moment to another going in slow motion he began to move faster and faster, to the point where he could barely glimpse each blow with his sword.
At this time, if someone else were in the room and observed the child, they would see a great show, the blows of both swords were coordinated in such a way that each blow was carried out consecutively and immediately, and, due to the speed and the force with which the child executed them, created waves of wind that shook the surrounding objects, although without damaging them, which demonstrated the control that the child had over the technique.
"Uff, well with that ends today's practice, every time I feel like reaching the next level, but when I think I get that feeling, it disappears, like when you just wake up and remember the dream, but when you try to think about it, everything is faded, *sigh*, I suppose I need a chance to advance my sword techniques."
The boy had devoted himself wholeheartedly to his sword practice since he finished stabilizing his cultivation base, hoping to get through his bottleneck regarding his martial technique, but it wasn't until today that he realized that what he really needed was an opportunity.
"Well I suppose that is the limit I can reach on my own, if I want to advance further I will need an opportunity, or perhaps the advice of someone more expert on the subject to give me some guidance."
Thinking about it, the boy couldn't help but sigh, actually, it was already quite surprising for a 4-year-old to have managed to get this far in less than 1 year and without anyone's guidance, so, in the end, he stopped regret about it and decided to rest for the rest of the day.
"Now that I think about it, I have not rested properly over the last year, even when I went out to the patio, I was still reflecting on the cultivation or how to further polish my techniques, maybe what I need is a good rest."
"Also today I have not yet gone to the library to see if the librarian returned, maybe I will also take the opportunity and read the odd book to kill time."
The child by then had already made the habit of going to the library and checking if the librarian was in it, but due to his absence, in the end it became a routine in which the child entered and realizing That he was not there, he retired back to his room.
Thus, having made the decision for him, the boy headed towards the library, taking his time while he thought about how quickly time passed.
"Who would have thought almost a year ago that I would have the opportunity to cultivate and get to this point? Not to mention that this is only the beginning, my life will really begin when I leave this mansion and meet the other children of my life. age, not to mention the dangers I will face..."
As he reflected on his future, the boy did not feel any fear, just thinking about being able to learn more about Kunlun and the adventures and dangers he would face made his blood boil with excitement.
And with his heart full of anticipation for his future, the boy arrived at the library, quickly surveying the place, only to find that everything remained the same, including the absence of the librarian.
"*Sigh*, maybe I shouldn't have been so greedy and requesting the ancient rank cultivation manual at the time, after all, was that what drained the librarian's spirit energy, that and the fact that I didn't cultivate in the end. with that manual."
At times, the child wondered if it was his fault that the librarian had "disappeared", but he quickly pushed those thoughts away, after all, if the librarian did not want to pass on that manual, he could well have omitted it or refused outright, but he handed it to him. even knowing the consequences of it.
"Anyway, I suppose I will sit down and read the odd book that is in my memory, with the deadline getting closer and closer, it may be the last time I can be here and read in this place."
Having said this, the boy sat next to the central table where he collected and left the crystals, and prepared to read quietly with a serene state of mind.
As the hours passed and the night got closer and closer, the boy finally opened his eyes, stretched a little as he got up from the ground, apparently he had already finished his little reading and was preparing to leave the place.
"Well, although I don't know if you are here or not, it seems fate is that I cannot say goodbye to you older, but at least I want you to know that I will try my best out there and I will not die so easily, not after the great favor. that you gave me, so if fate wants it, I hope we will meet again."
And saying these words, the boy touched the table where the librarian through her had taught him the manual and left that last message, before heading towards the exit of the room.
It was at that moment as he was about to leave that the usual gruff voice was heard again throughout the library.
"Hey brat, nice words, have you considered it better to stop being a cultivator and dedicate yourself to poetry? I'm sure it would be better for you."
Hearing this, the child immediately stopped and turned at full speed, arriving in an instant at the central table where the librarian was, this time with an illusory shape, with the appearance of a hunchbacked old man.
"Hahaha, senior please don't make fun of me, they really were my true feelings, besides that I can finally know his spiritual body, it really is just how I imagined it."
Although on the outside the boy acted quite calm, in reality he was very excited and happy to be able to see the librarian again, his doubts and assumptions vanished when he saw that he was well.
On the other hand, the librarian had a dignified expression on his face as he looked at the child in front of him, evaluating him carefully.
"Hmph, enough of the talk brat, I don't have much time, so I'll be pretty clear, this time I'm here for 2 main reasons, the first to see your progress in cultivation, and from what I can see, at least you got to Martial disciple, I suppose you are not as trash as the family assumes, besides, judging by your movements, it seems that you practiced with sword techniques, and double sword at that, quite ambitious huh."
The boy, listening to the librarian, was shocked to the core, although he was not surprised that the old man knew at a glance his cultivation level, what if he was left speechless was the fact that just by his movements, he could tell that technique had practiced.
So, somewhat embarrassed, the boy replied:
"I can't really hide anything from you senior, you are absolutely right, I reached the martial disciple stage last month and I am also one step away from the level of late achievement in my sword technique."
Knowing that the librarian had seen through him, the boy told him all about his progress this year.
Hearing about his experience during that year, the librarian did not experience any change in his expression, calmly listening to the boy's story, so once he finished his story, the librarian replied:
"The reason why you have not been able to achieve late achievement with your sword technique is due to your lack of knowledge about it, apart from that technique, there are many other ways to use double sword, wanting to understand the thinking of the person who I believe that technique with your low knowledge about that damage is simply trying to understand the world from a well."
Hearing this, the child was embarrassed, but also quickly understood why, no matter how hard he tried, he failed to reach 90%, he was simply too ignorant about the art of the double sword to try to fully understand the technique, and even if he kept up with it, it could backfire and end up damaging his cultivation for the sake of reaching 90%, so the boy, realizing this, quickly thanked the librarian.
"Thank you very much Major for his advice, he was really being very arrogant in trying to reach the late achievement without knowing more about this art."
Seeing that the boy quickly recognized his mistakes made the librarian evaluate the boy even better, after all, many geniuses in Kunlun stagnate on their way out of stubbornness and not listening to the advice of their elders, believing that they are right, overestimating their own capabilities.
Also, there was something that really astonished the librarian, although he did not show it on his face, and that was the fact that the boy had chosen the double sword path, just like "that" person, not to mention the fact that he had a lot of talented at it, as on his own he managed to reach half a step of the late achievement, a feat accomplished by very few geniuses in Kunlun.
"Although I gave him that sword and saber technique, I never expected him to dedicate himself in that particular aspect, will it be by chance or is it simply fate mocking me..."
Thinking of "that" person, the librarian let out a great internal sigh, but remembering the purpose of his arrival, he quickly pushed those thoughts away, after all, he had to inform the child of something more important, which was the reason for his absence.
Thus, with a serious look and a grave tone in his voice, he addressed the boy:
"Brat listen carefully, you have 2 days before they come to take you and, if you want to live, you must dissolve your cultivation immediately."
The librarian's words echoed like thunder in the boy's mind, for a moment he stopped thinking, different emotions swirled inside him, in the end, only one thought remained in his mind:
Why?
