"Come on, let's chat while we eat." We arrived at the principal's exclusive dining room. Chen An gave me a sheepish smile. I heard Teacher Hu's voice: "Zhang Ling, why aren't you eating. Quick, eat some more."
After hearing Teacher Hu's encouragement, I'll definitely be blunt. I started sweeping up food like a tornado. From morning until now, I've only eaten some traveling rations. I've been hungry enough to die for a long time. Now it was their turn to be dumbstruck. In the short time, Teacher Hu wasn't paying attention, I've already cleared off more than half the food on the table.
"Wah, this kid. Has Lao Lun Xiu been starving you so much, that you came over here to balance it out?" Teacher Hu teased me.
Now that I've already started eating, I can't resume being polite. I'll eat until I'm full before I'll consider it again. With my mouth full, I answered with a muffled voice, "Teacher Hu, if you don't hurry up and eat, you'll be hungry later."
"Ah! Chen An, eat quickly. He's eating too fast, we won't get anything to eat if we don't hurry up."
How can we still chat while eating like this, it's literally just like a competition. By the time all the food was cleared, I reckon I was the only one who was full. Teacher Hu grudgingly said: "Looks like we need to make more food in the future. Old Xiu sent me a rice bucket."
After returning to the log cabins, Teacher Hu said: "Ah, Zhang Ling. From now on you'll live with Chen An in the house on the left. Old Xiu let me train you for half a year. Will you be able to persevere?" I saw a bit of craftiness in his eyes. Looks like my life's going to get difficult. Then I must not embarrass Teacher Xiu. I resolutely answered: "No problem. I will certainly persevere." Inwardly I believe that with the foundations I learned from Uncle Long Chen, I will definitely be able to cope with whatever comes up.
We started to idly chat. From our conversations, I learned that Chen An is an earth knight. Teacher Hu said that Chen An's Spear skills are ancestral skills. They are extremely powerful, he even admits his inferiority in this aspect.
I accidentally said: "Chen An's Spear skills are that good. If he learned some magic to combine, then it will be even more powerful."
They both stopped talking and were looking at me weirdly. Chen An's eyes were also showing boundless desire. I asked: "What, was what I said wrong?"
For the first time, Teacher Hu started to get serious and said: "No, what you said couldn't be truer. If you didn't come, I was going to have Chen An go to Old Xiu to get him to teach him some magic. Now that you've come, you two can learn from each other. In exchange, I will also teach you some martial arts."
I said smiling: "Don't be so serious sir. Brother Chen An and I certainly won't let you and Teacher Xiu down."
Starting from the next day, Teacher hu had me do physical training with Chen An. Teacher Wen had very rigid requirements, even harsher than uncle long Chen. If not for the fact that I had a certain amount of foundation, I would have collapsed long ago. Teacher Hu even praised me saying that my physical ability isn't like a mage's. How could he possibly know that I've already been training for two months?
I was finally able to rest in the afternoon. Originally, Teacher Hu also wanted to teach me battle spirit, but I told him that I've already learned some battle spirit (for example, if Xiao Hei combines its form with my body, it creates a spirit combining with my body. it enhances my magic, physical ability, etc. this is called Battle spirit) from a friend and didn't want to change it. Teacher Hu wanted me to show him, but I muddled through by saying that my friend didn't want me to show it to other people. Teacher Hu got a bit angry and said that he won't bother with me anymore then. The next day, he increased the level of my physical training by a lot. Nearly killed me.
That's good. The Ascending Dragon's Judgement truly is a good battle spirit cultivation method, (The Battle spirit with Xiao Hei). I only need to sit down and meditate for a while then my physical strength will be restored. My magic power seemed to have reached a bottleneck. I couldn't find a method to continue advancing but I had this feeling of being enriched. However, I sensed that with my current strength, I could even move the mountains and fill the seas. My magic power was like the unceasing torrent of the Yangtze River.
Time goes by so fast. I've already been in Xiuda city for over a month,
I used the same method that I used to teach Ling Yun, to teach Chen An, light magic. His acceptance was even quicker than that of Ling Yun. When I experienced his sword techniques, I could only describe them as frightening. It is said that within 800 meters, relying on his keen sight he could cut off the right-wing of a housefly without even touching the left-wing. Teacher Hu had exaggerated that with one glance, Chen An could identify the father and mother of a housefly. Chen An's personality is rather easygoing. A few parts of his character are quite similar to mine. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, we've already become exceptionally good friends.
The evening was the best part of the day for us because we could go out and have fun.
