Chereads / Veil Of the Ancients / Chapter 8 - Chapter-8

Chapter 8 - Chapter-8

"Shit! I can barely read anything at all!" Lin Haoran cursed as he tried to read the scroll his master was holding.

After several attempts to decipher the scroll, Lin Haoran gave up.

It not only contained many character unknown to him, even putting together the character that he knows the overall sentence were meaningless...

"its coded" Lin haoran sighted.

Seeing his master's stern expression lin haoran knew that it was something serious, however in the end he can't read it.

"Ha~ let's leave it at that," he said, ending the vision.

the night became tranquil again, with gentle winds blowing at the mountain peak, with only the master and disciple in the simple shed.

Except that Lin Haoran look extremely tired, he was looking back to the past after all, something that was considered inconceivable, and it need a lot of mental energy which although Lin haoran had alot compare to normal people, it was still nowhere near enough!

His Eye droopy as he tuck himself inside his thin blanket and went to sleep.

...

The night quitely pass as morning came.

Lin hoaran woke up early.

However as he walked out he was surprise to actually see that his master had actually woken up before him.

He stood in a strange pose under the sunlight, his body sweating, with no visible wound from yesterday's battle.

'martial arts really can't be underestimated,' Lin Haoran silently thought.

"You Finally up brat? took you long enough.. When I was your age I woke up before the sun" The old man spoke even without opening his eyes.

Lin hoaran did not respond

This was actually one of the more believable once his master had said when he boast.

Well ..Let the old man speak,, it was not as if he could remember everything when he was also 5 year old....could he??

'is this old man also a reincarnator?' lin haoran joked inwardly.

"Don't just stand there smiling foolishly, Come join quickly" the old man berated.

Hearing this, Lin haoran quickly took off his ragged like shirt and began imitating his master.

Days Gone by and seasons passed...

And for some reason Chun Yujin started giving Lin haoran extremely strict training regimen.

 

The following days were hardness days since Lin haoran's reincarnation.

'Damnn it!! had the old man gone crazy??have he forgotten that i'm still 5 year old??' Lin haoran cried invisible tears.

He woked up early in the morning, and ran 5 times around the rim of the mountain peak crater, which was about size of a small football stadium.

Next he ate some berries, hard bread and sometimes some meat his master had prepared.

Next was the official training of Mountain tiger fist.

Lin Haoran would move around again and again, transitioning from one pose to another.

There were 12 pose in the first volume of Mountain tiger fist.

Lin Haoran could now freely transition between the first 3 pose and he was currently practicing how to perform the 4th. 5th and 6th pose.

If anyone were to Ask Lin Haoran whether or not he knows what he was doing, the answer would be - Darn No!!

He did not the know basic principles behind the pose, but what he do know is that they were darn hard to execute!!

And as his master had instructed, his 1st lesson was that he could freely move between these 12 pose, but Lin haoran grumbled that he was already having trouble with the 4th pose.

After the so called martial arts training, Lin haoran's master usually leave in the evening, either to hunt some game or hang around the village surrounding the mountain.

This was a good alone time for Lin haoran as he usually practice his Unique abilities.

Although Lin Haoran got these abilities from the game, because he did not have any stat points, he could not level them up, thankfully, abilities of the game can also be level up by continous usage, much like the muscles and bone in the body.

For example the main ability Lin Haoran usually trained with was -The invisible hand of God..

Plainly speaking this was a telekinetic ability, and to train it Lin haoran would lift heavy object with it, and slowly but surely there would be an slow increase in Progress bar in the ability column.

This slow increase in Progress % in the ability column was Lin haoran's greatest joy.

Unfortunately however, Usage of ability also take up much mental energy meaning that Lin haoran would feel mentally tired and weary after each usage leading him to be only able to train his ability for only a few hours each day.

The next ability was the - Eyes of chaos.

The progress bar of this ability could also be increase by continous usage and lin haoran would train buy it using it along side his other favorite ability that was 'ASTRAL SIGHT'

The telekinetic ability of the 'The invisible hand of God' only needs one requirement to be activated, that was if Lin haoran 'could see the object', coupling this with 'Astral sight' to see far distance object , Lin Horan was like a super long distant mage, who could fight from thousand mile away.

Of course, It wasn't that exaggerating as both ability also have certain common limiting factors both of which was Lin Haoran's current mental Strength of -7 which caps Astral sight's ability to see far only at 7 kilometers.

And as for 'The invisible hand of GOD' it was a bit more complex, as his mental strength didn't limit the overall all power of it, but limit the usage time and even precision.

If Lin Haoran were to compare it he would compare it to a child wielding a hammer to strike a nail, sure the child could strike a heavy blow, but they would not be able to hit the nail with direct precision or even hitting it continuously with the same strength each time, the child would eventually get tired, drained of stamina and not being able to wield a hammer anymore.

With these two ability combined Lin horan would lie down, looked at distant far away object.

Perhaps at the bottom of the mountain or perhaps at the huge river few miles away, he would try to them make them fly or hurdle them, This was his daily routine.

And After 2-3 hours Lin haoran would stop either because he was tired or because his master had came back, who then cook some game meat, the two would eat together and sleep.

Lin haoran would then wake up the next morning to repeat the cycle
