Chapter 7

Mousa's POV

Mousa carries Kiran, spinning him around while laughing, causing Kiran to laugh along with his teacher.

Mousa, happily: "Congratulations, my boy! You are now a Warrior, the youngest in history. Even among your peers, none have reached this level. Not even that girl from the Plum Mountain Sect; she's still a Practitioner and has been training since she was three."

Mousa, talking to himself happily: "Take that, you damned elders! My student is better than all of yours. He just skipped two ranks right in the middle!"

Kiran, happily: "Really?!"

Mousa: "Really."

Kiran: "But what does this mean? And what's the Plum Mountain?" He begins to imagine mountains made of plums. "That sect sounds delicious."

Mousa: "Hohoho, the important thing is to pay attention to what I'm about to tell you now."

Mousa sets Kiran down and sits him in front of him.

Mousa: "What's forming now inside your spirit realm is the Qi core. It will be responsible for your advancement. From now on, you need to channel your Qi into it. The fuller it gets, the closer you are to advancing."

He then extends his hand to take Kiran's hand, saying, "I will enter your spirit realm."

As soon as Mousa enters Kiran's spirit realm...

Mousa, with admiration: "It's beautiful," as he sees a collection of nebulas and stars everywhere.

Kiran: "Isn't it?" He takes his teacher's hand. "Let's go to the core, teacher."

After some time floating, Mousa begins to see the core's features from a distance. As they approach it, its actual size starts to become apparent, growing larger with every passing minute until they both stand before it.

Mousa, thinking: "Damn, it's huge. It's even bigger than mine, and I'm a Supreme from the second birth."

He looks at Kiran with concern: "What part of this is small?!"

Kiran: "I don't know. I was scared to get closer, so I stayed far away. Did I do something wrong?"

Mousa: "No, my boy. But from now on, don't let anyone else enter here."

Kiran: "Okay."

3rd Person POV

Both return from within Kiran's spirit realm.

Kiran starts trembling.

Mousa, worried: "Is something wrong?!"

Kiran, loudly: "It's amazing! I've found my new favorite place."

Mousa ruffles Kiran's hair and smiles. "Good for you. As a reward for your advancement, I will start teaching you swordsmanship."

Stars shine brightly in Kiran's eyes. "Will I finally become a hero and defeat the Demon King?" He starts jumping with joy.

Mousa, smiling: "Yes, my boy." He extends his hand, and a wooden sword suitable for Kiran appears in his hand.

Mousa, thinking: "This is my second wish (creation). I can create anything I want as long as I have enough Qi. So if you reach the legendary level in the next four years, I will make you a unique sword in all the worlds."

Kiran imagines himself holding a beautiful sword, standing over the body of the Demon King, laughing as his laughter spreads to the real world. "Yahahahaha."

Mousa smiles in return: "It's good that you're happy with this. You must work hard to get your gift."

Kiran, happily: "I promise I will reach Supreme instead of the legendary level."

Mousa: "I look forward to that." He then hands the wooden sword to Kiran.

Mousa: "The sword technique I will teach you is called the Heavenly Sword Style. It is a style used only by the elders of our sect and their successors. It is one of the finest and most powerful sword styles in all the upper realms. This style is characterized by its advanced techniques, drawing power from the harmony between the warrior, Qi, and the universe. Its fundamental techniques are as follows:

Heaven-Slicing Strike: A powerful and fast sword strike that releases an energy wave capable of cutting through anything in its path. This technique requires high concentration and coordination between the body and spirit.Heavenly Wind Dance: A series of rapid and precise movements that create a storm of sharp winds around the warrior, allowing him to attack his enemies from all directions simultaneously.Star Shield Protector: A defensive technique that generates a barrier of spiritual energy around the warrior, protecting him from powerful attacks and redirecting them back at the attacker.

So, are you ready?!"

Kiran, enthusiastically: "Yes!"
