Wang Lu's life!

"Why are you complaining like as though your body is the one feeling the pain when walking. Besides, you will be starting your martial arts training in just a few years." Wang Lu argued back and forth with her as they walked back from the library.

He was also nervous deep down, as he had been told it was not advisable to exert his body too much. That being the case, he had already found out that the gymnastics couldn't affect him much.

It was just that when it comes to martial arts moves ,especially body forging, it involved deeper aspects of the body. Without trying out one couldn't know the impact.

When their figures approached the city Lord mansion, Wang Chen's figure that had been watching them stopped paying attention, and Qin Zhu smiled slightly as she looked at him.

"Why are you so anxious? Do you still not trust my domain?" She could tell that Wang Chen was probably waiting eagerly for someone to come and cause trouble so that he can take action.

"By the way! Have you asked our son why he is picking some body forging martial arts? Don't tell me he wants to practice? Doesn't he know that this will only bring about more pain than he can bear?" Qin Zhu asked.

She had told Wang Chen to talk to him out of stressing his body, but as it turned out he even went ahead and started to select martial arts.

"Well! I tried to talk to him, and we agreed to let him take a month to think about it. Now that he has gone ahead and selected martial arts to practice, he has already made his choice. Besides, I think he will give up himself, if he feels the pain is unbearable." Wang Chen spoke after some hesitation.

It wasn't that he wanted his son to quit, rather he felt suffering inhumane pain was not worth it. As long as he was patient, it would just take time to gain help.

What Wang Chen failed to understand was that Weng Lu preferred to place his hope on himself than hopping others would help him.

Wang Chen looked at his wife and shook his head. How could he not see that their son was determined to try. If he was in the same situation, he probably wouldn't he willing to just lay down and accept his fate.

That was not in line with the nature of marital artists.

But the couple spend most of their time watching Wang Lu and Wang Yue.

"Our son has yet to be feel it! Once he tries to practice his body, the pain should be unbearable." It was indeed what they had been told by Li Rong.

But Wang Lu was indeed stubborn and wanted to find out more by himself.

It didn't take him long though to realize he couldn't take the path of reforging his foundation again.

Just like Wang Chen had stated, Wang Lu's attempts to train in the Demonic Saint Refinement need in a failure.

The contents were easy for him to get started, and the moment he just completed the movements, but the pain was just unbearable. He thought it was just that he was not used to it, but even after repeated attempts,.he gained nothing.

Other than the pain he felt, amost causing his mental state to collapse, he grunted everytime.

That was not all, as he could feel that if he dared to continue pushing himself to practicing, his spirit would be affected, even collaspe.

This situation made him complete wake up. "Since that woman said it was impossible to follow the normal path, it obviously also meant that any attempts to strengthen my soul using normal means might not work."

This realization was fraustrating, and he had gotten himself back on the first square. Gritting his teeth, he barely managed to ejt himself on the recliner.

He then started staring into the sky.

Since he could sense his situation, he was clearly about why his father wanted him to stop overexerting his body.

"Do I just have to lie down and wait for my situation to get worse!" Wang Lu had a depressed mood.

****

Just like this three days had passed by, and he would occasionally perform the gymnastics, and that was all. But his state seemed to make his parents somewhat relieved.

Today as he was sitting on the recliner, sun bathing, Wang Yue's voice come from the distance.

"Brother! Brother!" Wang Yue was shouting as her figure appeared in his line of sight.

He could feel the coldeness on her, he was already sure she had just come from the cold pond.

"Brother! I'm cold! If only I could eat some fire before entering that cold water!" Hearing to her complains, he couldn't help but want to laugh.

Different people had different problems, and also different ways they saw things in the world.

Listening to her words, he couldn't help but become speechless.

"Eating fire? How does that help you in anyway?" He could see the cold Was making her very creative.

But as he was just about to say something, his words paused.

"Absorbing Fire! Absorbing the sun? Huh! Why did I forget about this?" As if he had seen some kind of door he smiled slightly.

But he didn't say anything, rather he closed his eyes and started to visualize his spirit absorbing the essence of the sun.

Since he couldn't practice normally, he would have to see if other tricks could allow him to strengthen his spirit.

Just like that, he repeated the visualisation attempts, because he realized that this didn't cause any pain for him.

It was just that he didn't get any results, however he didn't stop at all.

It was something new and he had to make trials and errors and perhaps before he know it, he might be able to accomplish great things.

He had already attempted visualisation once, and then gained some understanding about it, but none of it showed anything about absorbing energy from the sun.

"If it is impossible to absorb the essence of the sun and stars, perhaps I should come up with another way." He finally thought about enhancing his visualisation.

It was just that this might end up taking a long time, but he didn't have anything to loose.

Based on how he was doing, it would already be good enough if he could make some improvements to his situation.

"I should stop trying to practice new techniques. That would just be a waste of time, considering my current situation. But I could focus on my Heaven Severing Saber. It shouldn't be a problem to just swing and slash my saber around." He was indeed unsure about the visualisation issue.

He had tried and didn't feel it was going anywhere.

He decided to not be anxious, rather he would try to divert the attention of his mind.

****

In the period of a week that passed, Wang Lu would be seen sitting by himself in meditation. The reast of the time, his saber was being swung around.

He had already understood the artistic conception of the fist move, but his understanding was not complete.

With what he understood as foundation, he kept practicing the saber.

His moves where simple, but each time seemed to contain some charm.

"Brother! You look handsome! Can you teach me?" He was lost in thought before he heard a voice and looking over, a small figure sitting on the recliner was clapping her tiny hands.

"Uh! You want to learn saber wielding?" He asked with a strange expression.

He didn't expect his sister to want to follow the path of the saber. So he had to ask about this clearly, unless it was just something she said in a spur of the moment.

"Yes! Why? Can't I?" She looked at him as if ready to deal with him if he dared to say no.
