7 The Battle Between Father And Son
Long Tiandao begin his training diligently, as he now has more tasks at hand than before. His progress in swordsmanship is notably fast, as his father starts to increase intensity day by day.
The truth is Long Tiandao has been practising his Absolute Sword Techniques and Dragon Dominance Pragna each for 2 hours in Eden before farming his blood ring in the 1st Layer: 10 thousand beast ridge.
With the combination of practice and practical combat, Long Tiandao growth is frightening. Long Tianwu notice the proficiency in sword techniques from his beloved son, but this didn't cause him to give out praise for Long Tiandao at all.
Long Tianwu has comes to accept that Long Tiandao is a genius, as to how you treat geniuses is different from mediocre people. Giving out praise might raise his child arrogant.
As for now, what he needs to do is to beat this little shit into a pup, pointing out one flaw after another. His end goal shall be to make Long Tiandao a strong and humbles person.

Inside the Garden of Eden,
Long Tiandao was fighting against a group of white elephants, his sweat drip like there is no tomorrow. Every step he takes is neither too fast nor too slow, as this enables him to land a perfect strike which either punches or kicks.
It's been half a year since Long Tiandao began his hunt for blood ring. These past six months, which is a year in Eden, enable him to practice endlessly, although he didn't have a breakthrough to a higher level, to use his martial arts to the first stage of both unarmed and armed combat make him feel contents.
His martial arts has a high requirement to fulfil, as the first stage of Dragon Dominance Pragna required the user to smoothly produce perfect force, balance and consistency with every strike from the human body.
He trains his sword under his father supervision, so have an easier time reaching the Basic Realm, but with the help of Eden, he has reached the same level with his Dragon Dominance Pragna.
All of this only possible thanks to the first layers, which consist of animals that live in groups. The Muteki-Tenseigan also play a crucial role, as he not only use it to look out for the enemy, he also used it to look at his movements and step he takes during the fight.
An hour has passed, Long Tiandao cloth was in ruin. His body suffers less wound than when he first started six months ago. Every day Long Tiandao will challenge a pack of animals, as each group of animals is bigger than the one he fought before.
He reaches the goals for today, as he has absorbed all the blood ring the white elephant packs has to offer. The reward is enormous, as not only the blood essence they give out is more than other animals he hunts before, but they also left behind their Ivory. With this, he will now be able to use a sword to fight during his next hunt.
Long Tiandao take the elephant two long Ivory with him as he traverses through the territory of an animal he has killed before. Not long after, Long Tiandao reach the core area where Adam and Eve resided.
Adam was sleeping on Eve's lap as she places her hand on his face, patting him with love and affection. The two lovey-dovey duos continue their sweet moment as Long Tiandao has entered the core area.
Noticing Long Tiandao presence, Adam get up from Eve's soft, smooth and comfy lap as he walks over to check on his Fated Child, as he said," Your injury becomes less and less now, which mean your combat mastery has another bit of improvement. You have done well, child." Adam gives Long Tiandao on the back as he walks past him, finding a place to relieves himself.
Eve smile at Long Tiandao as she checks his injury. For the past six months, which is a year in Eden, Eve was responsible for healing Tiandao injury, while Adam gives out his advice every time Long Tiandao can't find a good way to deal with the beast.
After Eve heals his light injury, Long Tiandao sleep under the tree as he needs time to rest. He only goes back to the real world when he gets enough sleep. Eight hours later, Long Tiandao is back in the real world.
Today is a special day for Long Tiandao. Since the day that he has awakened his Martial Spirit and start practising his sword with his father, Long Tianwu said that after six months, if Long Tiandao manages to land a cut on him, he will take him to a special place to forge a pair of swords for him.
Long Tianwu has known about his son eyes ability, as his ability to learn is peerless, as an average person won't be able to master basics even in two years. But for Long Tiandao, it will take at most a year to reach mastery in the Foundation Stage.
After a month of discovering his talents, both Long Tianwu and Su Mengjun start decreasing their son time on second profession theory lessons and focus more on the practical application instead.

Later on in the evening,
Long Tiandao and Long Tianwu were standing on the opposite side of one another, holding a piece of bamboo in his hand Long Tianwu look coldly at his son.
On the other hand, Long Tiandao is holding two-piece of bamboo of the same length, one in each hand. Su Mengjun is watching from the sideline as a bowl of caramel popcorn sitting in her hand, waiting for the match to begin.
The confidence emits from Long Tiandao cause Long Tianwu stern expression to broke into a smile, as he said," I want to see how far you progress this past six months, don't worry though, my promise still stands as long as you land a cut on me, I'll bring you out to get your pair of swords."
Long Tiandao raise his pair of bamboos as he enters a battle stance. The calm atmosphere starts to break down due to the fierce wind blow, invoked by the fighting spirit of father and son.
The wind blows up the fallen leaf on the ground as it raises it to the sky above the duo swordsman. The moment the fallen leaf drop back on the solid earth, Long Tiandao dash forward as he lifts the bamboo stick on his left hand, slashing vertically, aiming at Long Tianwu waist.
A gust of wind spread forward from the Long Tiandao bamboo stick with the perfect timing between moving forward and slashing a strong momentum was released in a split second.
With a smile on his face, Long Tianwu gracefully step to the left as he creates a distance from Long Tiandao, putting his body completely out of harm, as he about to reply to his son attack with one of his own. Sadly, Long Tiandao didn't give him this chance.
Long Tiandao first attack missed the target, but he instantly twists his body to the right, sending the second attack from his bamboo stick on the right-hand horizontally.
Long Tianwu was impressed with his son resoluteness. Raising the bamboo stick in his hand, Long Tianwu block the incoming attack with accuracy. Surprisingly, an attack he had easily seen through actually force him to retreat three-step backwards.
At this moment, Long Tianwu know that he had underestimated Long Tiandao physical strength, as the power put in behind Long Tiandao attack is no less than his own.
Catching Long Tianwu off guard, Long Tiandao didn't wait for his father to stabilize himself, rushing in one again as he sends out one attack after another continuously.
Three strikes follow up after one another continuously, as Long Tiandao slashing horizontally with his left hand, follow up with a vertical strike with his right hand. Finally, with a twist of his body, he ends his combo with another horizontal strike from an opposite direction.
This combination sealing all Long Tianwu escape routes, as he had no choice but to take on the first two strikes while trying to dodge the final strike. Too bad the momentum and velocity from the third strike are so great that it arrives in an instance.
