Training in Martial Arts

"Shaoran, it's time to wake up, you've been sleeping for over two hours, little sleepyhead" Lan Suyin said as she woke up her son, moving him gently.

When Lan Suyin moved Li Shaoran, she didn't miss the small opening that formed in Li Shaoran's eyes, which were slightly open, causing the eyes to close again after noticing her gaze. Realizing that Li Shaoran was pretending to be asleep, she tickled him, forcing him to open his eyes again.

Li Shaoran knowing that his mother had discovered that he was awake, he stopped pretending, and stretching his body, he gave a small yawn and said.

"Mommy let me sleep a little more, I'm tired after playing with Taiyang. I had to grasp his fur very strong for nearly an hour, to avoid to fall me from him"

Having been reminded of Taiyang, he started looking around the living room, looking for his playmate. Only to realize that his playmate was not in the living room.

"Mommy, where's Taiyang? I remember falling asleep on the couch with him. " Li Shaoran said to his mother. Thinking about how warm he was sleeping with Taiyang, he couldn't help yawning, making his mother laugh.

Lan Suyin knowing that the only thing her son wanted was to use her husband's dao beast as a pillow, didn't know whether to laugh or cry when a powerful dao beast in the core formation stage, has become the pillow of a five year old.

Taiyang is with your father and your grandfather Li, who are in the garden talking about the attempted possession" Lan Suyin said, pointing to the direction that Li Xiong and Grandpa Li were in. Hoping that her son can save her husband from his own father.

Now that his mother mentioned his father and his grandfather, He remembered what he had thought before he found Taiyang lying on the couch, thinking of the surprised face that his father and grandfather would do, he didn't wait any longer. Jumping off the couch, he headed for the garden.

"Mommy, I'm going to the garden, have to show Grandpa Li and Dad one thing" Li Shaoran said as he ran into the garden.

Lan Suyin, seeing him running towards the garden, said to herself. "Wasn't he complaining that he was tired and wanted me to let him sleep more? All I see is a small ball of energy"

When Li Shaoran reached the huge garden, he found two young men with a similar appearance with black hair, black eyes, fangs sticking out of his mouth, being both of them quite handsome, but with a slightly wild vibe.

Around the two young men were several beasts. Finding Taiyang among them playing with a black tiger with scars on its body, a two meter tall brown bull lying on the lawn in the garden, a white boar the size of the bull lying with the latter, a two-headed scarlet snake as wide as a barrel and with several meters long basking in the sun, and in a tree was a white bird of a meter and a half tall with a plume of red feathers on its forehead.

The entire scene in the garden would seem idyllic were it not for one of the young men, who was buried in the garden with only his head sticking out of the ground outdoors, while the other was kicking him in the head while yelling at him.

"Li Xiong, wretch, how can you let someone get into my grandson's innate soul!" The young man yelled, kicking Li Xiong in the head, causing the latter to moan from the blow" And on top of that, you don't tell me that my grandson has been in bed for seven days. You don't know the beating your mother gave me when she discovered that her beloved grandson was bedridden. Fortunately, that poor devil Hu Bao escaped from prison and she was called to protect an important guy. Then the buried would not have been just you, I would have followed you to being buried like a chive like you right now"

Li Ying remembering his fearsome wife when he found out about Li Shaoran, he couldn't help but hit Li Xiong harder, with the latter, grimacing in pain.

"Father please stop hitting me, neither I nor Suyin know how that soul could escape our vigilance, possessing Shaoran. I'm the first to want to know how he did it, but due to the family's legacy, Shaoran absorbed his soul, and we cannot know how the foreign soul did it" Li Xiong said, buried in the ground with his father hitting him, but internally happy that his mother is busy. If that woman had come, he doesn't know if he would have been alive after all the punishments she would do to him. He could only hope that his wife's family didn't blame him too.

While they had a one-sided fight. The companion beasts of both were watching the scene, they being quite entertained watching the two of them. Ones, that his master finally found someone to blow off steam with and others, that their master, after seven troubled days, could relax a bit. Since, while he seemed humiliated, he was quite happy to see his father.

When Li Shaoran came to the garden and saw that scene, he couldn't help comparing his father to a chive. After being shocked by that scene, he noticed his grandfather and all the companion beasts in his family. Once recovered from the scene in front of him. He shouted. "Dad, why are you buried like a chive in the garden? Is it a new cultivation method?"

Hearing Li Shaoran's voice, both men reacted differently. With Li Xiong coming out of the ground, wishing her son thought the scene from before was an illusion. Trying to maintain his image of a perfect father in front of his son, without wanting his son to stop admiring him. On the other hand, Li Ying teleported to Li Shaoran's side, before hugging him.

"Shaoran, let Grandpa Li see if you have any issue in your sea of ​​conscience" Li Ying said, concerned, knowing that things related to the soul and the sea of ​​consciousness are very dangerous. Being easy to have complications, such as having multiple personalities or memory lapses, among others, if they are not treated well.

When Grandpa Li said that, suspended Li Shaoran in midair using his divine sense. He raised the index finger of his right hand and placed it on Li Shaoran's forehead. When his index finger was aligned with the pineal gland, gently channeled a wave of spiritual qi at the tip of his finger, making it glow with a soft blue light. With his finger placed right where the sea of ​​consciousness was, looking at his current situation, he discovered that there was nothing out of place.

After observing what was happening in Li Shaoran's sea of ​​consciousness, Li Ying proceeded to read Li Shaoran's memories using the soul seeking technique, starting from now until Li Shaoran was knocked unconscious.

When he got to the part where Li Shaoran had woken up in bed, surrounded by his parents and the doctor. Suddenly, he found himself blocked by a barrier that was protecting that part of the memories, suffering a rebound and damaging his spiritual power. Making a trickle of blood flow from his mouth.

Terrified of the being who had put that barrier, he didn't continue investigating further before he turned his head and spat out a mouthful of blood. Frightening Li Xiong and Li Shaoran who were at his side.

"Father, are you alright?" Li Xiong said concerned. Not wanting to believe that his father had had a rebound trying to find out about those young men that Li Shaoran had spoken about when he woke up.

Li Ying, listening to his son's stupid question. He couldn't help it and kicked it, sending him flying a few meters in the air before saying. "Do you think I spit blood because I like it? I'm obviously hurt. I really think I've been kicking you too much this time"

Seeing that his grandfather was fine, even if he spat a mouthful of blood and without being surprised to see his father fly for a kick, after seeing him buried. Li Shaoran recalled his purpose to come to the garden.

"Grandpa, Dad, can you teach me martial arts?" Li Shaoran asked in an expectant voice, showing his enthusiasm for learning.

Hearing Li Shaoran's question, they both couldn't help but be surprised. Because even though Li Shaoran did light exercises to strengthen his body like any child his age, he didn't have much interest in that.

Li Xiong, having recovered from Li Ying's kick. He ran to his son kissing him on the cheek before asking him."Shaoran, why do you want to train martial arts now? If I remember correctly, the last time I asked you, you said you wanted to wait a little longer before starting to practice martial arts "

"I agree with your father, grandson, you also told me the same thing the last time I asked you" Li Ying said, knowing that both he and Li Xiong had tried it several times before, wanting Li Shaoran to start family martial arts training, without success.

Nor did they dare force him to train without his wives giving him the go-ahead. Being quite afraid of what they could do to them if they found out that Li Shaoran had been forced to train.

Listening to the questions of both. Li Shaoran decided to tell them the truth about his sudden interest. Keeping Xiwang's name secret. "It was when I was with the older brother in my conscience, he said it was good for me to start training when I am little to improve my base or something like that." Something that was technically not a lie.

Training since childhood and with his talent. When he grew up, he was going to have a better base than if he had started late. He might even be able to face people in the qi condensation stage without having entered that realm.

Hearing his reason for training, both Li Xiong and Li Ying couldn't help but envy that man at the same time that they wanted to cry. Thinking that they had both been trying to convince Li Shaoran to train for several months. But a stranger suddenly arrives and in a couple of days convinces him of something they have both been trying for months. Leaving them deeply dissatisfied with the situation.

"Well grandson, if you want, we can start with something simple from before the cataclysm. Being the bodies of human beings weaker than now, it will serve you well to condition yourself a little" Li Ying said confidently without waiting for Li Xiong to speak, since not every day he was going to be able to train his grandson and, besides being the first to do it.

Thinking of his wife's face when she found out that she had missed her grandson's first training, he couldn't help but laugh.

Seeing that he had Li Shaoran's full attention, Li Ying was very happy. Especially, when his son sent him messages through the divine sense. Angry that it had taken away the pride of saying he was Li Shaoran's first teacher.

"Shaoran, look closely. What Grandpa is going to teach you now is a very simple martial art called the Nine Wave Manual. This martial art consists of you performing a series of movements. Each series of movements is called a wave, so the objective of this manual is that you can use the nine waves one after the other. You've understood? After teaching the first separate wave in movements, Li Ying stopped and asked Li Shaoran.

Li Shaoran watched his grandfather's movements carefully before beginning to imitate them.

"Grandpa, am I doing the moves well?" Li Shaoran asked after making the first wave.

Noting that neither his father nor his grandfather answered him. He stopped. Seeing that his grandfather and father were staring at him, he was slightly embarrassed, thinking that maybe he had done it wrong.

Li Ying and Li Xiong oblivious to what Li Shaoran thought, they are sending messages by divine sense.

"Li Xiong, you bastard, have you taught your son the manual before?" Li Ying said without still believing what he had seen.

"As I am going to teach him something before, if my wife won't let me and Shaoran did not want" Li Xiong said wanting to clear up his father's misunderstanding.

"So how do you explain that he was able to perform the movements perfectly the first time?" Li Ying said, knowing While the movements weren't very complicated, they weren't something an ordinary five year old could do, either.

"Father, we can only attribute it to Shaoran's talent in that regard " Li Xiong said to Li Ying, without thinking about the strange soul because of how weak it was.

Hearing Li Shaoran's question, they both stopped sending messages. Realizing that Li Shaoran's eyes were getting a little tearful.

"No, Shaoran, don't cry. Your grandfather and I were saying that you did very well. So much so that you surprised us a lot" Li Xiong said to his son, remembering that although Li Shaoran was quite mature in some things, he was still a boy after all.

Li Ying also comforted his grandson by noting the misunderstanding. After that, both the grandson and grandfather tried to practice the following Waves. If any martial artist from before the cataclysm was in the garden at the time, he would be surprised to see such a fierce child, being able to compare his movements with the movements of a martial master.

Li Xiong not wanting to be left behind, he also joined them.

Li Shaoran did not know that training could bring him so much happiness. Being with his father and grandfather, practicing martial arts the three of them together, for him, was the happiest moment of his five years of life.

Li Xiong and Li Ying were able to feel Li Shaoran's happiness thanks to the big smile he had on his face as he followed the steps described in the manual.

While this entire scene was very wonderful, with the three generations of the Li family, grandfather, father and grandson united in one purpose, they forgot about Lan Suyin.

Who, when she discovered what the duo Li Ying and Li Xiong had done, and saw them practicing martial arts with Li Shaoran. Knowing that the latter had told them several times that he did not want to practice martial arts, she was so enraged that she generated a small tornado in the garden with her divine sense.

"Li Xiong, don't tell me that you have forced Shaoran to train, right?" Lan Suyin yelled at her husband after thinking about texting her mother in law, so that her mother-in-law would give her father-in-law what she deserved for forcing her son to do something against his will.

Li Xiong and Li Ying's faces turned as pale as paper. The first for having to face his wife's anger if it was not explained well and the second for having to face his wife if her daughter-in-law believed that she had forced Li Shaoran to train. Even the companion beasts of these two shuddered slightly at Lan Suyin's anger.

Li Shaoran had no problem with the arrival of his mother. Unlike his father and grandfather, when he saw her, he launched himself at her like a small missile and said. "Mommy, look what I know how to do"

With that said, he began to show his mother the movements he had learned.

Lan Suyin, seeing how adorable his son was, doing the martial arts moves. Her anger disappeared as if it had never existed before asking him if he liked practicing martial arts.

"Shaoran, do you like to practice martial arts? Mom will make you a uniform so you can practice your martial arts with him" Thinking of her adorable Shaoran practicing in uniform, she couldn't resist and took out her communicator, dividing her thoughts into three main streams.

One to look for books to make the uniform, another to continue seeing her son and the last one to imagine her son doing the martial arts movements with the uniform.

"Yes mommy, it's a lot of fun. Look what I can do" Saying this, Li Shaoran began to practice more fiercely than before, making him look even more adorable.

Li Xiong seeing that his wife had forgotten about him and his father, he looked at the latter before explaining the situation to his wife.

Having understood the whole situation, seeing that his son had not been forced and it had been his initiative. Lan Suyin dropped the subject before continuing to think about the uniform.
