Shin Yu's
Training with the Sword King

As planned, Shin Yu spent a week going to the library. During that time, the news of his existence possessing a golden-coloured Dantian began to spread widely throughout the entire part of the main headquarters.

Shin Yu started to feel the special gazes of the people when she was about to go to the library, yet she only acted indifferently even though it felt a little uncomfortable.

Right now, Shin Yu was in a spacious, empty room. There was only himself, Mun Yong and a long white-bearded old man with eyes that were almost completely closed.

"You should have known my name, but let me introduce myself." the old man said as he pulled out a long sword from empty air, "My name is Wang Liu, one of the Eight Deaths, I'm usually called the King of Swords."

"From today to the next year, I will teach you how to use a sword in this room. I hope you can absorb my knowledge well, be the greatest assassin in the world." Wang Liu stuck his sword on the floor after saying so.

Shin Yu herself cupped her hands together and slowly bowed her body slightly, "Thank you for wanting to teach me, Lord Sword King. I will try my best to learn the swordsmanship you gave."

Wang Liu raised the corner of his right lip, then said, "Look carefully, I will demonstrate one technique to you. Learn this technique to the point that you actually master it, and then we'll duel it out to test it."

Shin Yu did not complain much and only obeyed him, while Wang Liu immediately demonstrated the technique after seeing the response from the boy

Wang Liu began to demonstrate quickly and lasted for five minutes, the movements he did looked simple but very difficult to remember and also demonstrated.

After Wang Liu finished demonstrating his technique, he immediately asked Shin Yu to study it as well as master it. He said he would repeat the technique if Shin Yu did not manage to remember all of his movements.

Shin Yu did not say much and began to mimic Wang Liu's movements earlier, demonstrating the technique was quite difficult even for herself. It took several tries and a long time until Shin Yu finally managed to replicate the technique without making the slightest mistake.

Wang Liu who saw Shin Yu being able to demonstrate the Night Glitter technique could only widen his eyes in shock.

"It didn't take him three hours to replicate my Night Glitter technique, even though his every move still looked stiff but this remained absurd." Wang Liu was surprised, but his shock did not last long as he had previously seen the report given by Fang Lin, "I did expect that he was a genius child, indeed, even I had to equate it with Fang Lin and the other Young Geniuses. However, his genius was far above my expectations..."

Wang Liu clearly recalled that in Fang Lin's past it took half a day or so to replicate the Night Glitter technique, and with his achievements Fang Lin was considered one of the Youngest Geniuses in the organization. However, Shin Yu was able to replicate the technique in less than three hours. He did not deserve to be called the 'Youngest Genius', the nickname he deserved was 'The Genius Eaters'.

"Truly a blessed child..." Wang Liu stroked his white beard, "I was curious as to whether his presence in this organization would bring good luck or bad luck..."

......................

It had been a month since Shin Yu had imitated the Glittering Night technique, he had finally been able to master the technique perfectly. Although he was able to imitate it in a few moments, but in fact to master the technique perfectly took quite a long time.

Turning the technique Nam Quan taught into a basic move was an easy matter, it could happen because Shin Yu had already mastered a higher level technique.

Wang Liu had previously said that Shin Yu had to duel with him after successfully mastering the Night Glitter technique perfectly, of course it would happen but Shin Yu asked for a three-day pause in time to recuperate.

Wang Liu happily accepted Shin Yu's request, as the little boy had never taken a day off since training with her.

The reason Shin Yu had asked for a three-day break was indeed for a break but that was not the main reason. Ever since he managed to master the Night Glitter technique perfectly, he began to feel the strangeness in his body.

Shin Yu felt an energy stirring in her body, but it had absolutely nothing to do with her dantian sea.

Shin Yu did a deep meditation to find out what happened to her body. He entered his subconscious and discovered a boundless white void as well as a giant, box-shaped black pole.

The pole has a carving in the center, the carving depicts a sword with its tip facing up.

"Mistakeless, this is the form of the Sword Dao." Shin Yu muttered, "Dao is such a difficult entity to explain. As far as I am concerned, not all cultivators can have it. They are only interested in talent, if one's talent is of an extraordinary category then there is a possibility of a Dao entity being interested in you."

The dao itself was a way for cultivators to focus on one thing. For example, the Dao of The Sword, a sword Dao that would help a cultivator live his life as a Swordsman.

Each Dao had its own function and the purpose of the entity was to make cultivators strong in certain respects.

"Is this why my body feels weird?" Shin Yu wondered inwardly, "According to the book I've read, Dao won't be active before a cultivator finds enlightenment in him. That means, I need to gain an enlightenment first in order to activate his Dao?"

Enlightenment can be achieved through a variety of ways. However, there are four common ways to achieve this, namely by meditation, contemplation or self-introspection, through the process of combat and practice, or when in a life and death situation.

"Did the Lord Sword King ask me to duel so that I could gain enlightenment? But, how could he possibly know that I would have Dao within me?" Shin Yu felt a bit of astonishment, "Well, I think he did it on purpose so that the Dao of The Sword would be interested in me."

Having already found the answer to his question, Shin Yu finished her deep meditation and came out from her subconscious.

Shin Yu exhaled a long breath from her mouth, then circulated her gaze around, "There are still three days before the duel begins, I'd rather look for a small meridian than rest all day."

Shin Yu returned to deep meditation after making the decision.
