PoV Kai Feng.
Today, the master was meditating as always, with both of his swords resting by his side. He was preparing himself to challenge the heavens once more, and to do so, he needed to gather as much energy as possible. It was a goal he recently set for himself after some recent events, and he was never the same ever since. He became stricter and more demanding than usual, and his patience had also gone down a lot in the past centuries.
Even at the grand age of 1345, he still managed to secure his position as part of the Five Peaks, having unmatched mastery with his sword arts. But lately things haven't been going well for us, as his meditations are getting longer and longer. He barely has enough time to teach us his sword style. Many decided to quit and start their own journey like our master did in his youth, and many ended up falling behind and dying as a result of the extreme training we were going through on a daily basis. Now the only student left is me.
