Chapter 19: I want a Sword!

After finishing dinner, Tang Hao quickly stood up from his seat and walked out.

"Wait, Uncle Hao."

Tang Hao impatiently glared at me. What? You think I'm scared? I won't be that easily intimidated.

"I would like to ask you to make me a sword. A sword for practice and fits me perfectly."

Tang Hao didn't answer right away and thought for a bit. After that he settled me as if measuring my body.

"You are still too young to use a sword, just use a wooden sword."

"What I want is a gun, not a toy."

Tang Hao's eyes widened in surprise when he heard my reply. What does a weapon mean, it's an item made for harming, it would be strange for a child to ask for such a thing.

But my wish can't be changed so easily, if I already want it, then I will get it by all means, I'm a stubborn child.

And Tang Hao also knows that, so far he has faced my stubbornness many times, for example last night before dinner.

After thinking for a bit, Tang Hao finally complied with my request.

"Well… your sword will be finished tomorrow morning."

Oh! That's pretty fast. He could make swords in just one night. Should I think 'as expected of Tang Hao?'

After all Tang Hao was a Title Douluo and his Spirit was a hammer, more specifically the Clear Sky Hammer.

"Brother, what are you going to do with the sword?"

Xiao San asked me, without any delay I answered right away.

"I want to practice swordsmanship, this is to anticipate if during Spirit Awakening later the Spirit that I awaken is not good."

"That's right brother! Didn't you promise to explain to me about this Spirit Master? What is Spirit Awakening?"

Uhh… damn, I already dug my own grave. Xiao San's question was very difficult for me to answer. You know I don't like explaining things.

Well, at least I can explain about Spirit Awakening.

"Spirit Awakening is when you awaken your Spirit, everyone has their own Spirit. During Spirit Awakening, it also determines whether you can become a Spirit Master or not. It's usually done at the age of six so it's still a long time."

I answered quickly and immediately stood up. If this was continued then Xiao San would continue asking. That's what I want to avoid.

I walked towards my own room ignoring Xiao San who was babbling and asking.

The next morning, I came down from the hill and walked towards the house. Usually at this hour I will do physical exercise.

But now that I have a sword, I can practice the techniques taught by the teacher again.

Opening the door without knocking, I entered the room where Tang Hao usually forged.

Over there, Tang Hao was forging farm implements. Without looking at me, he pointed at the sword standing against the table.

"That's your sword, it's just a practice sword so don't expect much from its quality."

Approaching the sword, I took it in one hand.

Hmm… the size is just right for me to use, it's also not too heavy, the balance is just right.

It's just that the quality of the iron is poor, the blade is also not very sharp. Maybe it was because he didn't make it with all his heart because this sword was only for practice.

Hmp! What a stupid thought. Any sword, if it's a sword then it has to be of good quality.

The sword is still a sword, a tool for killing. Therefore the sword must be strong, sharp, and balanced.

The sword used for training is not a sword but a tool for playing swords.

For now I will accept this sword first. I still need it for training and hunting.

Turning to Tang Hao, I made another request.

"Uncle Hao, can you make me another one?"

" Huh? For what? Isn't that enough."

"Uncle Hao, actually I'm a dual sword user, so of course I need two swords."

"*Sigh*.... Alright, pick up your sword this afternoon. Now go, I'm busy."

After sighing, Tang Hao reluctantly agreed to my request.

It seems he is still haunted by guilt towards me…

Leaving Tang Hao indoors, I headed back towards the hilltop to practice swords.

The first thing I did was the mandatory thing to do was warm up.

After that I just started practicing swinging the sword. This is the basis of practicing the sword.

Once done with all the warm-ups, it's time to practice the sword techniques taught by the teacher.

Usually I'm a dual sword user, but since now I only have one. Then I will practice the one-sword technique.

The first technique I practiced was Instant Slash. The name is simple but once you reach the Master realm then this sword technique can be very dangerous.

The essence of this technique is speed and sharpness. The faster you swing the sword the greater the damage that is issued.

The second technique I trained was Calculation Slash. The essence of this technique is to make several slashes simultaneously, the maximum is eight.

To practice this technique you must have strong and concentrated hand strength. You also have to have extraordinary focus.

It's really hard to train this technique, but I can rest easy. In my previous life I had already mastered both of these techniques up to the Master realm.

Using that experience, I believe I can master it in just a few years.

With that, I ended today's training and headed towards the forest to hunt.

Using the results of today's practice, although it's not perfect but I use the Instant Slash technique to catch the rabbit.

Rabbit movement is very fast and agile. Because of that I used the Instant Slash technique to instantly slash the rabbit before it could jump.

Catching a total of three rabbits, I immediately cleaned off the blood and cut them open.

I'll give one to Grandpa Jack and two I'll take home.

Ah, I forgot about Xiao San. Because he doesn't want to be left behind from me. He asked his father Tang Hao to teach him forging.

I don't know why he would want to do that, in this world, smithing is the lowest caste job.

Maybe it was because he was Tang Hao's descendant whose Spirit was a hammer.

Or maybe because he wanted to make a weapon. Remember what I said earlier? Xiao San is reincarnated just like me.

Maybe Xiao San wanted to make the same weapon from his previous life.

And so, I walked home past the gossiping crowd and gave Grandpa Jack some rabbit meat.

I immediately ran towards the house, I can't wait to take my second sword.

Coming home by kicking the door, I heard the sound of the door being smashed but I ignored it. It was Tang Hao's job to refine.

"Uncle Hao!!! Where's my sword, you haven't forgotten it have you?"

I asked excitedly, if I get a second sword then I can practice the strongest sword technique taught by teacher.

"You're noisy, Brat!!! Your sword is in the forge room. You better cook now."

" Stupid!!! Of course the sword is more important. I don't care about your hungry stomach!!!"

Without waiting for Tang Hao's reply, I threw the rabbit meat into the kitchen and ran towards the forge room.

After checking the sword, the result was almost the same as the previous sword. Still of poor quality. But this one is a bit sharper than the previous one.

Once satisfied to try with a few slashes. I went to the bathroom to clean myself. Today I am very dirty.

Due to being overly excited about the new sword, I overtrained a lot. The result was that my body became very dirty and I was very tired.

After that all I do is cook, and at night I practice spirit power.

In these three years I worked hard to create a cultivation technique that suited me. Now I have only completed half of the technique.

It seemed like it would take even longer to create the perfect cultivation technique to me.

The basis of the cultivation technique I created was cultivating the rich star energy at night, and cultivating it into spirit power within the body.

Because of that, my spirit power is slightly different from other people. Because my spirit power is mixed with star energy.

This also makes it more difficult to perfect this technique.

The name of my original technique is Everlasting Myriad Star.

Do not laugh if the name is strange, because I myself know that my naming Indra is strange.

In the early morning, around two in the morning. I left the house, carrying my two swords. I did a little warm up then ran towards the hill.

Arriving at the top of the hill, I immediately meditated and applied the rudimentary Everlasting Myriad Star technique.

The more stars that were present that night, the greater the benefits I would receive from the Everlasting Myriad Star technique.

Thus, I cultivated until morning. At the hour when the sun rose, Xiao San came and used the same technique.

One thing I learned is, it seems that Xiao San's technique can only be practiced at sunrise. Did he absorb the light of the rising sun? I don't know.

It was Xiao San's secret after all, it wasn't good to seek other people's secrets.

I opened my eyes and finished my cultivation. The star had completely disappeared. It's time to put an end to the Everlasting Myriad Star technique.

That way, I stretch my muscles and body. Then took the two swords leaning against the tree.
