Shin Yu's
Training with the King of Swords II

Three days of Shin Yu going through deep meditation, in that period of time he managed to find four small meridians at once. The total number of small meridians that have been successfully opened is now 24 points.

Right now, Shin Yu was in the room where she used to practice. There was only Shin Yu and a white-bearded old man who was none other than Wang Liu, the Sword King.

"It looks like you managed to open another small meridian" Wang Liu said with a faint smile.

"I'm just lucky..." Shin Yu replied briefly.

"Lucky? Haha... If you say that in the presence of others who have tried so hard, they can get angry."

Shin Yu slightly raised her eyebrows in incomprehension, while Wang Liu shook her head slightly before taking out the two original sword blades from the empty air.

"Receive this..." Wang Liu extended his sword-wielding right hand, and Shin Yu immediately accepted it, "I will equalize my strength and speed with you, so there's no need to worry."

Shin Yu only gave a small nod in response, when she received the sword, the two of them took a few steps back to widen the distance.

"Just move forward aggressively, I'll act defensively" Wang Liu said calmly, "The duel will stop until one of the two sides loses..."

"All right..." Shin Yu gave a small nod, then held the hilt of her sword with both hands.

Whooos!

Using Shadow Step, Shin Yu moved forward very quickly. The consecutive attacks he launched, and all of them were able to be repelled easily by Wang Liu.

Shin Yu tried to look for a gap but unfortunately there was not the slightest gap that Wang Liu had pointed out. After carrying out the attack for some time, Shin Yu retreated to take a breath while his opponent just stayed in place without moving one inch from the start of the duel.

"I think using the Night Glitter technique is more efficient than attacking him who does not have the slightest gap." Shin Yu said inwardly, then did the horses and coated her sword with Qi.

Swoosh's...

The golden-coloured Qi started to envelop Shin Yu's sword, and without much thought again he instantly moved forward towards where Wang Liu was.

"Would you like to use the main technique?" Wang Liu smiled faintly, "I think it would be dangerous to receive the golden Qi rawly..."

Wang Liu also coated his sword with Qi, but it was not as thick as Shin Yu's.

A traaaaang!

When the swords of Shin Yu and Wang Liu clashed, the sound of iron rubbing was clearly heard. At the moment that happened, Shin Yu instantly widened the distance as both of her hands were in pain from the impact.

Night Glitter Technique is a technique that is able to kill enemies very quickly without making a sound, besides that the technique can behead opponents without spitting any blood.

The technique was a high-level technique, although Shin Yu had already mastered it perfectly but if the opponent was Wang Liu who was dubbed as the Sword King then it would be useless, then it would be useless, moreover, his experience in terms of fighting was minimal.

"I don't think it's gonna last long..." Shin Yu said inwardly after seeing her right hand being injured and spitting out a little blood.

Whooos!

Shin Yu again moved forward but this time he only used Shadow Step techniques, while Wang Liu continued to fend off the attacks launched by the 10-year-old without counterattacking.

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

Brugg!

"You learn fast..." Wang Liu walked up to Shin Yu with both hands folded behind his waist, "You always look for another gap after knowing your previous attack failed and using various other trick tricks, he said, amazing talent."

"I still need to learn a lot..." Shin Yu got up to her feet, then cupped her hands without caring about the pain she received, "Thank you for the duel, Master Sword King. Just now was a great duel, this will be a valuable experience for me."

"Every three months, we'll duel to see how far you've progressed. You ready for that?"

"I'm ready to do it..." Shin Yu immediately replied.

"Good." Wang Liu gave a small nod, then took out a white-colored pill from empty air, "Take that pill and in one minute all your wounds will recover."

Shin Yu caught the pill that the old man threw, knowing that it was a healing pill capable of healing external wounds.

Shin Yu then swallowed the white pill and she could find that the wounds on both of her hands were starting to slowly recover.

"All my wounds have fully recovered..." Shin Yu opened her palm shut, she felt a little astonished because this was her first time seeing this kind of thing.

"Go back to your place, you need enough rest because tomorrow I will start physical training" Wang Liu said calmly.

"I understand..." Shin Yu gave a small nod before cupping her hands back, "Then, I permit a farewell, Lord Sword King."

Wang Liu simply nodded to respond to that, while Shin Yu directly left from there.

***

Every day, Shin Yu was always doing the same activities as physical training, learning new techniques and searching for small meridians.

Today it had been exactly six months since Shin Yu was taught the sword by the Sword King, Wang Liu. He who is now much different from himself when six months ago, his skill in sword is quite great even though the skill still feels rough due to lack of fighting experience.

Although Shin Yu had been training hard for the past six months, she still had not gained any enlightenment regarding the Dao of the Sword. Though he had tried deep meditation methods and also contemplation and introspection, but no signs of development appeared.

Therefore, Shin Yu intended to try one of the two remaining methods in the duel he was going to do with Wang Liu.

"Sword Lord, before the duel begins I want to make a request" Shin Yu said calmly.

"Hm? What's that...?"

"Please don't be defensive as the duel progresses, make me face a life-and-death situation."

"Oh, have you obtained a Dao and intend to receive enlightenment through this duel?" Wang Liu tried to guess.

"Do you know that?" Shin Yu slightly tilted her head.

"No, actually I'm just guessing..." Wang Liu shook his head lightly, "When a cultivator gains enlightenment from a Dao, his understanding in matters concerning that Dao will increase significantly and certainly benefit him. However, not everyone has the chance to get Dao, so if you manage to get one, then you can be considered a lucky person."

"Hm, isn't getting a Dao a talent factor and not from luck?"

"Not all, some are not talented but get Dao and vice versa. More precisely it is not luck, but a destiny that cannot be changed."

"Destiny, huh?" Shin Yu muttered little.

"I think it's been enough to talk to him, I agree to your request. So, prepare..." Wang Liu started to raise his sword, and Shin Yu also did the same.
