BIRTH OF DRAGON WARRIORS
82 - Wei Shezi [2]

"Kai...!"

Chu Kai flinched when he heard the voice of someone who was calling him. He also found out the origin of the voice and then found Wei Zhang Zihan who was picking up Xia Ling Qing.

"Decoyar Wei..!" Chu Kai captured Wei Zhang Zihan's body and restrained Xia Ling Qing's body. He was shocked because these two people were in a severely injured condition.

"How is it," Chu Kai panicked. He looked around because there might be people who could help, but the swordsman he saw was also in a wounded state.

"Why is it like this?" Chu Kai asked. "Didn't Swordsman Wei not have been hurt?"

"What is your question important to answer now? Take Ling Qing away first. I'll catch up later,"

!!

Wei Zhang Zihan's body had almost collapsed had it not been held back by Chu Kai. This Holy Swordsman still pretended to be strong, even though his injuries were so severe.

"I have no choice," Chu Kai took a breath and then exclaimed calling out someone's name.

"Wei Shezi..! Wei Shezi..! You're still here, right?"

"You don't have to scream. I'm on your mind, so what's up?"

"You must have seen the situation, quickly help me."

Thin smoke formed at Chu Kai's feet and then spread out. The smoke began to gather, solidify, and form the body of a woman. Wei Zhang Zihan had no idea what was happening as his gaze had already blurred, he had truly forced himself to this extent.

On the other hand, Xia Ling Qing also did not notice the changes that were happening before her eyes. Right now, even to speak a single word he was unable to. He even regurgitated blood and it made Chu Kai panic even more.

"Wei Shezi, what are you waiting for? Hurry and help me,"

"Well, why should I do it?" Wei Shezi crossed his arms and made Chu Kai stare intently at him.

"You're this"

"You just don't want to cooperate with me, so why would I help you?"

"Cooperation can be discussed next time. These guys barely survive, or I'm really not gonna make any deal with you."

"All right, all right." Wei Shezi exhaled and then began to form a hand seal. He said, "You need to know that I used my soul power to heal their internal wounds. It's just a small favor because my own soul power is weakened, so you owe me."

Chu Kai could feel the soul power that Wei Shezi meant. It felt like Wei Zhang Zihan and Xia Ling Qing's bodies were so warm and seeing the faces of these two people was no longer as pale as before... He was finally able to breathe.

"They're not in a critical moment, but they still need to be treated." Wei Shezi stopped his actions that flowed soul power at Wei Zhang Zihan and Xia Ling Qing.

"That's enough, too," Chu Kai opened his voice. "There is a nearby inn in this place. I'll take them there,"

"Let me help you bring one person," Wei Shezi walked over and held Xia Ling Qing. Meanwhile, Chu Kai brought Wei Zhang Zihan as both men.

Chu Kai carried Wei Zhang Zihan on his back. He was also the one who carried the young man's sword and Xia Ling Qing's weapon. They darted towards an inn that was apparently also occupied by several warriors who also suffered injuries during the exploration of the ancient tomb cave.

Chu Kai reserved two rooms and after laying Wei Zhang Zihan down and making sure Xia Ling Qing was fine as well, he went out to look for the healer.

Wei Shezi himself remained in Xia Ling Qing's room and waited until Chu Kai returned. Lucky for not long, the young man he was waiting for had already come with a healer. Xia Ling Qing and Wei Zhang Zihan were treated.

Right now, Chu Kai let Wei Zhang Zihan as well as Xia Ling Qing rest in their respective rooms. He himself was outside the inn and looking for a suitable place to talk to Wei Shezi.

The problem is, the place is actually on the roof of the inn. Chu Kai looked down and watched the beauty of the night. The thousands of stars up there are also so beautiful, yet completely unable to reconcile them.

"The view from up here... Looks very charming. Didn't we?" Wei Shezi sat with both hands crammed. He shook his feet and saw the beautiful skyline.

"There's no need to say anything that's not. Now just tell me about your relationship with the Moui Forest and what do you mean that my breathing technique is an ancient breathing technique?" Chu Kai let out a cold voice and looked at the girl sitting beside him.

Wei Shezi looked at Chu Kai and then exhaled, "Mm.. Where should I explain it to you..."

Wei Shezi said, "Alright. You know about the great war between humans and demonic beasts, right?"

Chu Kai blinked, "I know. It's a history that's always been retold even in the new year. Why?"

"I don't know what kind of version of history that you're told, but it doesn't matter to me. The point I'm going to tell you is before the war happens,"

Wei Shezi explained, "The world. The demonic beast is the most powerful. They were also cultivating and who became the leader for those demonic beasts... Are those who are referred to as the 10 ancient spirits."

Wei Shezi continued. "Each has its own territory, the most powerful is the ancient spirit that occupied the first seat. Hiya... I never even met him,"

Chu Kai rubbed his nose and asked, "So you're an ancient spirit who occupied the second seat?"

"Last..." Wei Shezi muttered softly and made Chu Kai look at her horror. Wei Shezi hurriedly said, "But that was before the usurpation of the throne. When fighting in the past... I-I also defeated those ancient spirits! Why are you looking at me like that? You don't believe it?!"

"I was thinking.... Why don't I kill you right now,"

"Can you?" Wei Shezi waved her hair and said, "I challenge you to do it here."

"..............."

Seeing that the young man beside her was throwing his face away made Wei Shezi smile. He shifted his seat and nudged Chu Kai's arm.

Wei Shezi said, "You should think about this. I who was at the last level of the 10 ancient spirits alone could have the power to annihilate a city, especially if it was another ancient spirit."

"But I've never seen your true abilities? How do I know that you're not cheating on me?"

Wei Shezi grunted. He shook his head and said, "Listen to me, Handsome. I don't know what other ancient spirits are, but to myself... I have always held a principle that I will never break to death. That's... Is 'Never lie'."

"No way," Chu Kai could not believe it.

"Did I ever lie to you?"

"..............." Chu Kai noticed the face of the woman beside him and then sighed. He stared at the houses below him and then re-opened his voice.

"So your relationship with the forest... Is it possible you guys live there?" Chu Kai asked.

"It used to be the largest territory of the ten ancient spirits, but after the usurpation of the throne... I'm not sure anymore either." Wei Shezi shook his head slowly. He said, "I am the tenth. I once defeated an ancient spirit of a higher level than me, they didn't like the result and I myself discovered the truth that among the ancient spirits-only one could actually be made a companion."

"I don't know what the state of the Moui Forest is right now, but all I can confirm is that it's not inhabited by my comrades. The fox teen you were with at the time... He's a descendant of my partner, which is why I say he's trustworthy."

Wei Shezi said again, "Didn't you know better about the condition of the Monuigi Forest now? You learned ancient breathing techniques from there, right?"

Chu Kai shook his head, "I don't know. What I remember is that I lived in that place for a long time. They taught me how to kill. I decided to run because I felt that place... Isn't my real place. Then you found me and took care of me until now,"

"All I know is that the Forest of Mongui has always been a place for humans to throw their babies away," Wei Shezi opened his voice and made Chu Kai look up at him. He continued, "Even though we belong to the ancient spirit, but the worldly nature is never lost. We can eat, we can die, and we can also have a marriage. Traits like revenge, greed, love, and everything else... It is also not in spite of being owned. Among other ancient spirits... The Silver Fox is the one who likes humans the most."

!!

"Not all demon beasts and spirits are evil," Wei Shezi again continued, "Just like humans who are not all good. You just need to be more careful about choosing friends,"

"For your ancient breathing technique..." Wei Shezi continued, "I can tell that it can't really be referred to as the 'Ancient Breathing Technique'. There's something different. It feels like you're adjusting this breathing technique to your own abilities and that's why it's not very similar in shape, but... Emm.. Oh. Like the branching of the Ancient Breathing Technique."

"Branchisement?"

"really. It feels like you learned the Ancient Breathing Technique and created a new breathing technique. I think it's like that,"

"............." Chu Kai was silent for a long time before finally saying, "I named it the Dragon Breathing Technique. The Mogui Forest... They only taught me one thing without explaining anything."

"Is it just 'Killing'?" Wei Shezi asked and was nodded by Chu Kai. The woman rubbed her cheeks before starting to cross her arms.

Wei Shezi, "She.. Mm... Do you really not know about cultivation level?"

"Cultivation?" Chu Kai recalled before replying, "Teacher from the Wushi Mountain Sect once said so. But..."

"God, how could you forget?" Wei Shezi said, "The cultivation level is divided by three. First is Worldly, then Heavenly, and last is Eternal. Each has nine stages. You're actually doing anything in your college?"

"I haven't lived there long, you know." Chu Kai scratched his non-itchy head. He said, "I've just been made a student and that's not what I want. All this time I was living quietly in a tavern, then a lot of things happened in a short time. I'm even involved in something very dangerous when I'm not ready for everything myself."

Upon hearing the word 'store', Wei Shezi's countenance changed. The woman blinked a few times and gave a look that was as if in disbelief.

Wei Shezi gulped and opened his voice, "I want to ask you the most basic thing first. What after leaving the Forest of Mongui... You live in a store?"

"Mrs,"

"The guy you call dad... Is he a swordsman?"

"He's just a normal human being. He runs his business and I help,"

"Did you never practice improving your practice since then?"

"I'm practicing how to cut down trees,"

"You've never applied for admission to a sect or anything?"

"What did it do for?"

"Have you just been chosen to be a Dragon Swordsman at THIS AGE?"

"18 Years isn't old age, sucks. I'm so young."

"IT'S TOO OLD TO PRACTICE CULTIVATION, FOOL!"

Chu Kai spontaneously covered his ringing ears as the woman beside him screamed so suddenly. He was shocked and almost fell off the roof.

"God... Worth it..." Wei Shezi held her forehead and felt frustrated, "Aiya... It's appropriate that even though you have the power of monsters, but the aura and quality of your bones... Still as tall as a praying mantis."

"Witch-What do you mean?!"

Wei Shezi exhaled and muttered, "Which god I mentioned before has been met with this kind of man. Hiya... Why is it so late."

"What are you talking about? What's the matter exactly?" Chu Kai was obviously confused because the woman looked depressed.

"Why did you just join the sect now?" Wei Shezi asked. His tone was slow as if he was preparing patience to hear the answer from the subject beside him.

"Ehm... Because I was chosen to be the Dragon Warrior?"

Wei Shezi blinked, "Did you never have a dream before to cultivate and become a swordsman?"

"I just... Just want to live a mediocre life,"

"Well, can't be trusted..." Wei Shezi sighed and said, "In the world... Where people are racing to be the strongest, to be warriors invincible, and you have this potential but you are... Just want to 'mediocre life'?"

"Have you never thought about saving the world and being a hero?" Wei Shezi asked back and made Chu Kai lower his gaze.

"Or have you never thought of wanting to be strong and take revenge on the treatment you received in the Forest of Mongui or thought of looking for the person who dumped you? Yourparents? Your origins? Or whatever?" Wei Shezi asked again.

"If they dump me... Then that means I'm not needed. There's no need to find someone who doesn't want me at all in his life...."

"God... So you just broke into a sect because you had to? You don't have any purpose? Since the heavens designate you as a Dragon Swordsman, you are forced to become a disciple of a sect. Is that so?"

"Who said I have no purpose?"

"Mn? So what's?" Wei Shezi looked at the young man beside her and saw the subject cramming his hands while shaking his legs.

Chu Kai smiled and said, "I want to get married."

"What?" Wei Shezi flinched.

"At first I was forced to, but then I accepted it as fate. Because by becoming a Dragon Swordsman... I can be close to the girl I like."

!!

Wei Shezi was shocked and amazingly dumbfounded. His mouth opened wide enough to hear an answer he had never imagined in this life at all.

How could. Skies. Appointing this kind of man. To become a Dragon Warrior!!
