Katana

The next day…

'I'm going to the mortal plane' Lui Marime resolved herself to discover what this feeling was that was causing the feeling of being drawn there because she deeply wanted to progress in her cultivation.

There was also a deep feeling of connection with whatever this feeling was.

The previous day…

Mortal Plane Planet Cyrus

"It… it looks like your foundation is perfectly fine to me, I guess you're well ready to cultivate but you haven't even completed the body transformation stage.." Fu Shen was totally shocked, this was far outside his scope of comprehension, he'd never heard of someone who's foundation is in shambles recover their foundation.

Not even from his master who's field of view was far beyond his own.

"I kinda think I'm done with that stage I don't know but my body is definitely a lot stronger than when we last fought." Wo Shie was still feeling awkward about his sudden progress but reluctantly shared it with Fu Shen.

Fu Shen's eyes went wide and his mouth opened slightly as utter shock was the only thing he was feeling. In this moment he was sure that Wo Shie was an absolute treasure that he had to protect at all cost.

"You must keep your progress to yourself, don't share it with anyone other than me the greed within man's heart is real especially in this world!" Fu Shen warned Wo Shie about his talent as it could be a source of deep grief.

One must know that on average it took 1-2 years to complete the body transformation stage however if his words were true that'd mean he completed it in less than 6 months. Of even the greatest talents of the higher realms finishing the body transformation stage faster than 6 months was extremely rare and usually the result of a prime treasure that the entire martial world would leave trails and rivers of blood for.

"Still I don't know if you've truly completed the body transformation stage, we will continue with the same plan if you are able to land a strike on me in a spar then we will move to the next step of training, if what you said is true and you have completely transformed your body I will guide you in your cultivation." Fu Shen added.

Wo Shie was ecstatic it's true he had the Deaths Manifestation cultivation technique and the God's Omnipotence body cultivation technique but he still felt guidance as to what he should be trying to accomplish would help him attain his goals of becoming stronger faster.

"Great! You're not bad old man this time I'll make sure to make you pay!" Wo Shie said with a devilish smile on his face. He was ready to attempt repaying the favor he'd received a week earlier.

"Yea yea, don't get ahead of yourself kid. There's still a long way to go before you could even hold a candle to me." Fu Shen said with his chest puffed out as he pulled out what looked to be a short katana from his dimensional ring with a blade approximately 2 feet long and a 7 inch hilt.

The blade was completely black with holes in it. Each hole had a white outline within it, and the hilt was wrapped in bandages covering it's true face.

When he pulled out the blade Wo Shie felt a sense of familiarity with it.

"If you can land three blows against me in our next spar and only our next spar this blade will be yours." Fu Shen had a condescending smile on his face as he felt he'd tasked Wo Shie with something utterly impossible.

'I don't know if he'll be able to actually do it but I know there was a reason my master tasked me with holding this… I know he's never been wrong with any of his fate predictions but still this is all a little to insane to believe.'

When Wo Shie heard this his eyes lit up and a fire in his soul was lit. There was no way he'd fail this test as he somehow felt the blade in Fu Shen's hand was already his.

It's size resembled more of a dagger but it's shape and odd holes in the blade made it seem more mysterious.

"You better keep your word old man, that blade is mine!" Wo Shie said his eyes burning with determination and his fist clenched. "I'm ready right now! We can start whenever you're ready."

"Slow your horses kid, you just got back up from our last spar I know you're feeling good but I think you should rest a couple more days you were in a pretty bad shape."

"I don't need rest I'm fine let's do this!" Wo Shie interjected ready to go.

"Mandatory rest kid, I don't care if you're ready I'm stabilizing my own comprehensions then we can spar in the mean time continue doing your regular exorcises and make sure to rest like always!" Fu Shen shut him down immediately.

"Whatever tell me when your ready to feel my fist." Wo Shie said as if brushing the let down off his shoulders and began walking towards the river to bathe himself.
