Dancing

In a white room that had blue splattered across the floor in many shades had the two conversing.

"Gentle Ascension?" The boy wore an expression of confusion on his face.

Sendra sighed and just nodded.

Such a disrespectful child. He talks to me in a way I have never heard in all my years. Whatever, I will demonstrate.

"Pay attention to the way I move. I will only be showing you this once."

Sendra moved his left leg backward and twisted his body, as he did so he readied his fists to parry or attack, he twisted his body in another way directly after. This repeated twenty times, every time he would be in a different stance.

"What makes this footwork so special is the ability to build up momentum and use the moment along with QI to cripple your enemies defenses. It is also possible to fight multiple enemies at once." Sendra explained without being asked.

"Oh? Interesting." The boy laughed.

Does this kid not take me seriously? He may have talent but he clearly doesn't understand his place.

"You will have to speak to me with more respect. I am the last cultivator at this stage left alive, I could kill you with a flick of my finger." Sendra said casually as he clasped his hands behind his back.

"Mm. You're right master! I apologize!" The child bowed towards Sendra.

What a bipolar kid.

"Now.. what did you understand from my performance?" Sendra questioned.

"I think I was able to grasp a few things." The boy smiled.

"Before you demonstrate, what is my new disciple's Mortal name?" Sendra asked nicely.

"Ah. My name is Leng Hen" The child replied and sat down.

"Why are you sitting now?" Sendra asked as he towered above him.

"My father taught me that you should sit when being taught!" The kid laughed.

.. You were already taught weren't you?

"Mm" Sendra cleared his throat.

"Your cultivation name will be Hendrix Sendra. You will go by Hendrix, and only your closest family members will be allowed to call you by the name of Sendra. It is a name I have inherited from my master, I will not allow you to stain it."

The kid nodded as if it didn't matter. Sendra sighed.

"Okay Hendrix, show me what you understood." Sendra looked at the kid with eyes of expectation.

The child jumped up and instead of following the exact pattern of Sendra's, he inserted some of his own.

Sendra was shocked to the core.

I was teaching you.. why did you have to upgrade my footwork from A ranking to S?!
