7 Chapter 6

At the afternoon when the sun was at its highest peak, The duo still continues their session, Arthur still punching the air while correcting his stance. He was sweating all over his body, the sweat from his body can fill up a few buckets! but he still persists in the training….

995… 996… 997… 998… as he pulls his punch for the last time, something strange happens. The energy in his dantian flows through the meridian and reach his right fist, now his fist contains a white glow that fills with strength !

As he punches out his fist, the air creates turbulence as his fist move forward….

Hyarghhhhh !

"My god Arthur ! I didn't think you can do this already, by infusing your energy from the dantian, you can strengthen your fist as you punch ! I thought I will be teaching you this tomorrow, but you achieve it already… how did you realize you can do that ?"

"*pant* *pant* hehh… wait… let… me catch… my breath…. *pant*"

"I don't know father… that last punch… it may as well be instinct ? even I didn't realize I can do that ! But now my body is hurt… I can't move much because of the pain T~T"

"it's to be expected because that was your first time using the energy to rush out from your dantian !"

"Okay, today training ends here, rest a bit then we can have lunch, tomorrow you will start training this again until you are familiar with your fist."

Well, this training is heavy but I can see improvement on my body… Damn, I'm hungry, can't wait to eat !

After lunch was served I ate like a bear eating his first meal after hibernating ! Mother and father only watch with a doting smile on their face… uhhh this is heavens, I wish this will continue forever <3

After lunch, I go to my bedroom and start going through the books again… now it starts talking about refining our own body… the first level is the skin which is important for new cultivator as it will protect our outer body.

It says here that we need to draw the energy from our dantian and spreads throughout our body. Better to focus on the whole body then part by part because that will lengthen the cultivation period. But people with lower talent will use this thought because it is hard for them to spread the energy.

Okay… first I need to focus my thought. And then move my mind towards the dantian and make a flowing motion…. next I need to direct it towards all over the body…. ughhh ! concentrate… concentrate…

As Arthur did his routine… you can see a faint white aura spreading out towards his whole body…

Ughhh why do I feel itches all over my body…. maybe this is a part of the process… damn, this irritates me T~T But I still need to hold on !

This process keeps on going until late evening….

Ehhh why did the process stop ? Oh… I'm out of energy… My body feels really sore T~T I need to wash my bodies first… sheesh ! sweating all day long, how many baths do I need to take ! after a shower I need to go straight to bed, if not I feel like I can't wake up early tomorrow for training…

Later teacher Annabelle will come for another lecture. I need to conserve my energy more or later I'll break down because of my fast pace T~T

As Arthur was going to bed… His mother came to tucks him in the bed…

"Good child, don't push yourself too much okay or mother can't stop worrying about you !"

"Haha mother, please do not worry, I like doing this kind of things, exploring something new and fun, if not my life will be dull and boring… mother, what happened to our grandfather ? I only heard about his heroic stories but…"

"*sigh* well child… Your grandfather left us and have returned to the heavens. He died while fighting in the war 20 years ago. Your father was an ambush by a mysterious troop. His death was full of mysteries. Your father hasn't moved on about this until now… that's why your father kept training every day to find out about your grandfathers' death."

"Ehh really… how could this happen, wasn't grandfather a great commander, he must be powerful right !?"

"Well… yes, but that means his opponent is similar in power or more powerful than your grandfather…. that's why your father is doing his best now, for revenge and honor for our family…"

"This is shameful to our family, we need to get to the bottom of this… why didn't the King help father ? wasn't grandfather his trusted aides ?"

"Arthur… the things happening at the main castle is far too chaotic, a single wrong move can annihilate our entire family… that is why your father is struggling right now. We may have been a family of commander but that doesn't mean we have enough influence in the royal court."

"*Sigh* I understand mother, will grow up strong and help our family ! I won't let this shame pass by like this, starting tomorrow I will train hard even if I may collapse ! all for our family glory's !"

"Child… just do what you can and don't push yourself too hard okay. I only got you and your father only in this world." T~T She says as a teardrops fall down to her cheeks…

"Okay Arthur, Go to sleep. You need more energy for tomorrow, sleep tight." *kiss cheeks*
