BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
129 - Training in the Grave

Wei Shezi was shocked to hear Chu Kai's words and the expression of this young man. He watched the subject before him intently and then began to take a position. Wei Shezi sat in front of Chu Kai with both hands crossed.

"I want to ask you this first," Wei Shezi opened his voice. "Do you remember when we fought that day? You are not only very brave, but when fighting other monsters too - you feel absolutely no guilt. So why is there only one person you've killed and that feels so burdensome to you?"

"It's not like that... You don't understand," Chu Kai tried to catch his breath and then said, "This is my first time... Kill people this way. I never thought I would do an act like pulling an opponent's internal organs and even splitting his body like this. Wei Shezi, I'm really scared.."

Chu Kai looked straight at the girl in front of him and continued, "Something the scariest of all is... I didn't realize how I did it. Feels like... I can't control myself."

"It's a serious matter" Wei Shezi muttered. He looked at Chu Kai and then asked, "How high is your practice now?"

Chu Kai blinked, he took a breath and then clenched his right hand while focusing on knowing the level of his practice. It's just that the symbol that is usually painted on the back of his hand now just does not exist and that makes him jerk.

"Wei Shezi..!" Chu Kai panicked, "How is this?! Last time I remembered my practice of being at the Shiliu Level, now why isn't there?!"

"You don't need to panic," Wei Shezi was breathing slowly. "Since my strength is still not fully recovered at the moment, I cannot directly read your practice level either. But you shouldn't panic,"

Wei Shezi continued, "The illegible level of practice could be due to a technique you obtained from this ancient tomb. Mm... By the way, what techniques have you obtained?"

"Ah, that...." Chu Kai lowered his gaze, seemingly hesitating to answer.

"You better not hide anything from me. We are partners now and I will always be with you, too" Wei Shezi was honestly a bit uneasy about Chu Kai's overly cautious nature and completely distrustful of him. The basis of their cooperation should be to trust each other.

Chu Kai took a breath and then began to stare at the girl in front of him. He said, "That's a manifestation-level technique. An.... Hole Dimension."

"What?!" Wei Shezi was surprised, "What did you just say?! My hearing isn't wrong, is it?!"

Chu Kai scratched his non-itchy head and replied, "I don't know. Before I entered into the dimension of the ancient tomb, then the sword brought me to a place. There was an enormous black dragon there, it turned into spiritual energy and like it entered my body."

Chu Kai explained, "There's someone standing there with a face I can't see. He showed an evil smile and after that, I couldn't see anything. Then when I realized, I was still in the same place and saw the writing hover. It was the level of manifestation with the word 'Dimension Hole'. Then I touched it and everything went white, I didn't realize it anymore. Uk... I don't know. Actually what happened. It gives me a headache and I want to cry. I seriously want to go home,"

Of course Chu Kai's reaction was understandable. This young man was still too new to accept many things from the world of warriors. Wei Shezi recalled that this young man had once said that he was just a waiter in a tavern, so naturally experiencing such an out of reason experience was hard to accept.

"The world, inhabited not only by humans." Wei Shezi opened his voice and made Chu Kai stare at him. He said, "The world is inhabited by demonic beasts, spirits, and demons. Among men, some have the destiny of being warriors. When you take a step onto this path, then you will experience a fight with demonic beasts, get caught up in the spirit world, even have to face demons."

"You're going to face something completely absurd" Wei Shezi said. "And of all that... Immerse this in your mind that the world of warriors is a place where honor is achieved with power. A place where the strong will prey on the weak. Then places... Where the Birth of the Dragon Warrior will be the beginning of the end of the world."

!!!

"Wei Shezi, you don't scare me." Wei Shezi's words sounded like shocks to Chu Kai's ears.

The young man massaged his forehead and grimaced, "It used to be... I do have dreams of becoming a warrior, but not as a Dragon Warrior. In retrospect, I was the target of hostility after that day's election. The Dead Moon Sect. This sect sent its members to finish me off for some reason,"

"Mh.... I don't know about humans, but your status as a Dragon Swordsman steals the attention of demonic beasts, spirits, and possibly demons." Wei Shezi expressed his opinion, he continued.

Wei Shezi said, "I'll be frank about this to you. Dragon Swordsman is a figure of choice and therefore we, the ancient spirits believe that the power of Dragon Swordsman is extraordinary. Besides being a threat, you are also a source of strength. Roughly speaking, eating your heart will make creatures like demonic beasts and demons have abundant power."

!!!

The change was seen on Chu Kai's facial expression. The young man looked at Wei Shezi and said, "So you've been aiming for my life all this time? You're just pretending to be nice, aren't you?"

"God... We've become partners, so how could I eat my own." Wei Shezi shook his head slowly, "And again... If I really want to do evil to you, then I've been doing it for a long time. I won't be your teacher, either,"

Chu Kai watched the subject before him and exhaled slowly. He said, "Let's talk about it later. Now more importantly, do you know what really happened to me? Who do people always see that? This weirdness started happening ever since I got the sword."

Chu Kai watched how the weapon was now in Wei Shezi's hands. The beautiful girl in front of him was very focused as she started to pay attention to the dragon swordsman.

"I don't feel any spirit in this sword, but it could be because of my practice now. But just in case, you better not use this heirloom sword too often." Wei Shezi said, "You haven't reached Shijiu stage yet. So before reaching this stage, don't use the dragon swordsman."

"Stage... Shijiu?"

"It was the last stage of the Heavenly Cultivation Level that focused on Cleansing the Heart Demons. This stage is very important and also dangerous. One wrong move, you're gonna be a bloodthirsty killer."

Wei Shezi's speech was a warning and Chu Kai understood it clearly. The young man with natural green eyes knew that he could now not return to his normal life as an ordinary citizen of Lianyi City. He would often encounter situations where he would have to take the lives of others to survive.

Chu Kai flinched as he suddenly recalled something, "I left Miss Xia Ling Qing to you. How's he doing now?"

Wei Shezi blinked. He looked at Chu Kai and then replied, "The poison on that girl I've already taken out. But I have a problem with the cold poison that's on him. He's arguably fine for now, as long as the season hasn't changed."

Wei Shezi's words reasoned because the Cold Poison would start to react when it rained and it was a dangerous situation for Xia Ling Qing. Chu Kai lowered his gaze and looked somewhat agitated.

The young man's matter was still not finished with the mysterious figure that was bothering him and on the other hand, he also had to overcome the cold poison that was inside Xia Ling Qing's body.

"Right, I haven't told you about this." Wei Shezi reopened her voice and made Chu Kai look at her.

"What's that?"

"The seal on the ancient tomb is back on and it's clear that we're both trapped inside. It took another 50 years for the seal on this ancient tomb to weaken again and appear in the same place. Now, this place is not visible outside."

?!

"Wei Shezi..!" Chu Kai exclaimed, "Why are you saying it in such a calm tone?! 50 Years? Are you kidding me?!"

"Hey, why are you so excited. The manifestation technique you got isn't it a dimensional hole? You can wear it to get us out of here,"

"But I don't know how..!"

"What?!" Wei Shezi was shocked, "I thought you'd learned it? How could you not know?!"

"It just happened before. Didn't I tell you something strange happened to me, why don't you understand?!"

"Yes, you suck." Wei Shezi patted her forehead. "Seriously you don't know how to pull out that manifestation technique?"

"Why did I lie to you?"

"God... How's this...?" Wei Shezi tried to calm himself down. He thought and then looked at the young man before him.

Wei Shezi took a breath, "Alright. Can't panic. This ancient tomb suits as your training ground. You will start to increase the power in this place and also I will teach you how to use that manifestation technique,"

"You sure you can?"

Wei Shezi was jolted at the spontaneous question that Chu Kai threw out. He got flabbergasted and then snorted. "Handsome man, I am an ancient spirit. You insulted me by asking questions like that."

"Here you go, now stand up and follow me." Wei Shezi got up and walked over. Chu Kai followed behind.
