BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
133 - Chu Kai [2]

The Valley of the Flaming Lands,

Chu Kai who was currently still in the Valley of the Volcano and was confined within the ancient tomb seal was unaware of the conditions of the outside world, let alone knowing about the Great Catastrophe that was about to occur.

The naturally green-eyed youth continued to train under Wei Shezi's guidance. The stoat he found and named Xiao Bai was seen accompanying him to practice.

Wei Shezi was seen sitting on a tree trunk with several piles of scrolls beside it. He held another scroll in his hand and seemed to notice the writing on the scroll. Every now and then, he stared at Chu Kai who was training the sword movement that the young man had obtained during closed-door training.

Chu Kai named this technique the Nine Lightning Steps because each of his movements was fast, sharp, and even produced a loud sound like the roar of lightning. He did not know that the technique had the name Nine Deadly Movements and was the Forbidden Technique of the Wushi Mountain Sect.

The only one who felt any strangeness about Chu Kai's sword movement was Wei Shezi. The woman continued to notice Chu Kai practicing all this time and felt that the sword technique of the young man before her had a wide impact attack, completely unsuitable for facing one-on-one enemies.

"Kai, stop first and come here." Wei Shezi opened his voice at the same time as Chu Kai made the final move of his sword technique.

Chu Kai's feet were treading on the ground, the effect of creating an extremely strong wind, even Xiao Bai had been thrown, barely hitting the tree if it was not immediately grabbed by Chu Kai.

Wei Shezi was stunned to see the sight. He also opened his voice when Chu Kai was now in front of him. Wei Shezi said, "If you can make the shock wind of your attack denser... Then you can hurt people with just your footsteps,"

Chu Kai blinked, "Seriously? Am I that good?!"

"What do you think of yourself?"

"Mh... I'm awesome?" Chu Kai smiled and made Wei Shezi blink.

The white-clothed woman took a breath and then said, "You definitely don't know what I mean, do you?"

"I knew. You said that I was amazing,"

"Tsk, where does that confidence come from..?" Wei Shezi muttered before reopening his voice. He said, "Look at this. I've chosen some attack techniques that you can learn. Some people are born with innate talent and what I mean here is about their spiritual element."

"Spiritual elements?" Chu Kai frowned.

"It's like fire, wind, water, earth, lightning, and so on." Wei Shezi looked at Chu Kai and asked, "Didn't you know that?"

Chu Kai scratched his non-itchy cheek and said, "What.. I have to learn all that?"

"Actually a swordsman who studies cultivation techniques can learn all kinds of elements, but it is less effective. Hence each person develops only one element,"

"Then what if someone develops more than one?"

"That means he has talent," Wei Shezi noticed Chu Kai and then said, "What are you thinking about?"

"How is... I learned that spiritual element?"

"Hmph, you've learned it."

?!

Chu Kai flinched, "Really?"

Wei Shezi put her chin in hand and watched the young man before her well. He sighed and shook his head slowly. His actions made Chu Kai feel somewhat nervous as he continued to be stared at like that.

"W-what are you doing? Don't look at me like that. Watch out if you're interested in me,"

"I am indeed interested in you," Wei Shezi muttered and left Chu Kai in shock.

"I just like Miss Xia, I don't like monsters like you at all even if your face is pretty."

Wei Shezi did not listen and went back to muttering, "I'm interested in your eyes. I want to go and eat it. Your eyes that can see the color of that spiritual energy are extremely rare. Moreover... You have the Ancient Breathing Technique. If you could use this well.. I really can't imagine what you're going to be like,"

"I think even more than that,"

"So she's gonna like me?"

!

Wei Shezi before nodding softly, "Mm... Well yeah.. I guess,"

"Why is your facial expression so?"

"No, I just... Very impressed with your motivation. Why do you like her so much? I've seen that girl named Xia Ling Qing. From the looks of it, she is very beautiful. But when viewed from its nature... I don't think he's interested in you at all. The girl was obviously very rude and stubborn. You guys really don't fit in,"

"How could it not fit?" Chu Kai smiled, "If it were only the rude nature of Miss Xia, I would be a gentle person. Then if his stubbornness, then I will be more understanding than him."

Chu Kai gently rubbed Xiao Bai's head and softly said, "In addition to Miss Xia Ling Qing's father... The only person who can understand it is me. So I'm definitely gonna be worthy of her,"

Wei Shezi looked at the figure before him and then sighed, "I don't want to break your spirit. So fight. Now take this and learn,"

Wei Shezi gave the scroll in his hand to Chu Kai. He explained, "As long as I pay attention to your training, I have the potential to develop the lightning element. So you can learn the real lightning steps with the scroll,"

"Wei Shezi, I've previously learned the 9 Steps of Lightning. Why do we need this kind of technique again? I need attack techniques. Find me a cool and awesome style."

"Handsome, listen to this Shizunmu. Cool and awesome style... It all starts with the movement of the feet and what are the strengthening techniques of the feet? It was a 'Step'. If your steps are stable, there is no free movement and you can do anything. Do not think that learning the 'Step Technique' is something trivial. Even the warriors who have been dealing with me all this time... The basis of their stepping technique really sucked,"

Wei Shezi stood up, he started waving his fan and said. "I'll show you, you won't regret being my student."

Once a flutter, a strong wind is created and makes the leaves fly. Wei Shezi darted, practicing the movements on the scroll that Chu Kai had in hand. The wind blew waving his scarf, but the movement of his feet in the grass did not make any sound at all.

The shawl from his clothes also did not come into contact with the fallen leaves. The movement is strong, but it does not speak. Chu Kai who witnessed this even did not blink at all.

Wei Shezi was bouncy, a leaf he touched with the tip of his shoe and the leaf he also used as a foothold. Chu Kai looked impressed at how Wei Shezi seemed to be walking through the air, footholding on the weak leaves as if it were a stepladder.

Wei Shezi hooked one of the slowly falling leaves and then kicked it with the tip of his shoe. The leaf was thrown and then stuck in a tree trunk. Chu Kai's eyes widened in shock.

Wei Shezi's feet were treading gently on the ground. He waved his fan and snorted, as if satisfied to see the reaction of this green-eyed young man before him.

"Amazing," Chu Kai walked over to Wei Shezi and unceremoniously said. "Teach me what you're doing. That was awesome. Hurry,"

"Hmph, this is still nothing. Try calling me 'Shizun',"

"Shizun,"

"Alright, but my training methods are rough. If you can't help it, you can cry." Wei Shezi toyed with his fan and started walking followed by Chu Kai. The little barley that became their companion was on Chu Kai's shoulder.

That day Wei Shezi no longer only served as a guide when Chu Kai trained, but also played the role of an opponent of this youth training. Sometimes, they roamed the tomb only to deepen Chu Kai's experience of fighting. And if they were lucky, they could obtain the loot that still existed within this ancient tomb.

There was one day, where Chu Kai found one of the herbal ingredients useful as an antidote to Cold Poison. He discovers a fire orchid plant after defeating a herd of spirit rats that is not only large, but also nimble and ferocious.

Carpelai with him also experienced development. The white-haired beast grew by eating some herbs as well as the flesh of the demonic beast that Chu Kai had defeated. There was even once an opportunity where that adorable Carpelai came into the fight and helped Chu Kai fight against the monsters.

They continued to train, improving their fighting technique skills and even the cooperation of the three got better.

Living cooped up inside the ancient tomb did not make Chu Kai any trouble. Might as well... This was because in the past, he had been in a situation where he was far from the outside world and so was Wei Shezi. And not felt, half a year passed.
