Shin Yu's
The Enlightenment of the Dao of the Sword

The second duel between Shin Yu and Wang Liu finally began, this time Wang Liu would not be as defensive as before at the request of Shin Yu.

Shin Yu instantly used Shadow Step and moved around his opponent very quickly, he did that for a while before finally swinging his sword vertically.

The trannnng!

Wang Liu repelled the attack launched by Shin Yu easily, then kicked the right chest of the child using his left foot.

Buugh!

Shin Yu instantly bounced away from having no time to react with the attack, a thin stream of blood slowly flowing out from the corner of her right lip.

"sickness..." Shin Yu felt a little claustrophobic as she was about to get up on her feet, "It looks like my ribs are cracked."

Shin Yu felt pain every time she moved, she looked at Wang Liu who was walking forward towards her. The old man revealed a thin smile that looked threatening.

"I wouldn't be able to get enlightenment if it was just this..." Shin Yu strengthened the grip of her sword-wielding hand, regardless of the pain she was suffering she moved forward using Shadow Step while flowing Qi into her sword.

"Hm?" Wang Liu could see that Shin Yu was about to perform the Night Glitter technique, "Once again put out the main technique at the start of the fight, huh?"

When Shin Yu was already a meter away from where Wang Liu was, he changed the position of his sword blade that had been above was now below, then immediately swung it diagonally at high speed.

Wang Liu, who had noticed that Shin Yu did not let out the Night Glitter technique, widened his eyes slightly, and for the first time he dodged the attack by retreating one step back. His expression looked surprised at this moment, but it did not last long after Shin Yu launched another almost similar attack.

Wang Liu deflected all the attacks calmly then slightly increased his speed so that he was already near Shin Yu, he attacked the boy's heart using his right knee and made his opponent bounce far back until he hit the wall of the room.

Bruugh!

A loud clashing sound rang out and the wall that Shin Yu hit suffered a light crack, his body fell limp onto the floor and vomited blood out of his mouth unnoticed.

"T-no... Still haven't..." Shin Yu did not want to give up and tried to get up on her feet, but without knowing the reason her body began to tremble violently and her mind suddenly became empty.

The incident lasted for a few moments before Shin Yu finally realized that Wang Liu was standing right before him

"What's happening to you right now is called the fear of death instinct, even though your brain doesn't respond to fear, but your body reacts in a different way. It's natural for living things to have such instincts, you've reached the limit so rest..." Wang Liu said calmly.

Shin Yu did not say anything, her previously empty mind was now focused on the memories of the previous fight.

Wang Liu who saw the little boy not moving from his position slightly raised his eyebrows, "His eyes are open but why isn't he moving?" Wang Liu wondered inwardly, and slowly his eyes opened wide upon seeing the golden light begin to pour out from Shin Yu's body.

Shin Yu also noticed that a golden light was coming out of her body, she felt a calmness and warmth enveloping her. At the same time, a new understanding of how to use sword techniques and utilize the flow of energy began to seep into his mind. Like an illumination, he realized a new perspective on movement and energy that he had never realized.

The golden light that came out from Shin Yu's body slowly began to dim, at the same time his gaze also became blurred and his consciousness disappeared because he had exhausted a lot of blood.

On the other hand, Wang Liu who saw the incident could only shake his head in astonishment. How not? A 10-year-old boy seeks to gain a Dao enlightenment through a duel that can kill him, and amazingly he managed to gain that enlightenment in the moment before losing his consciousness.

***

Right now, Shin Yu was in a boundless white void. There is a giant black pole in the shape of a box with a sword engraving in the middle, this time there is something different from the sword carving, the sword carving, a bright white light radiated in his line and not far from there was another carving forming the number one.

"So this is a sign that my Dao of the Sword has been activated? Moreover, that newly-appeared number one seemed to show my level of understanding towards Dao..."

The dao has its own level when a cultivator successfully activates it, it shows how deeply one learns his Dao. The first level is the lowest level, while the highest level is still unknown until now because no one can achieve it.

"Every time I get enlightenment, I will definitely receive one new technique given by Dao. Had the level gotten higher, then the techniques given by Dao would have been higher." Shin Yu muttered, "I was lucky to get enlightenment this fast, maybe in the future it won't be that easy to gain enlightenment despite going through life and death situations though."

For now Shin Yu did not need to rush over, he would focus on improving his swordsmanship as well as his cultivation base.

Shin Yu then left her subconscious, slowly opened her eyes and found a white ceiling that was none other than her private room.

Previously Shin Yu had been conscious of his stupor but he did not wake up but rather went into his subconscious to examine his Dao of The Sword.

"You awake?"

A familiar voice rang out, and in the next second Fang Lin's face appeared right in front of Shin Yu's face.

"Is that some kind of pleasantry, senior?" Shin Yu with a flat expression asked, and Fang Lin distanced his face while chuckling.

"Kukies... You flat boy, this handsome senior of yours is kind enough to visit you."

"Thank you then, senior." Shin Yu tried to move but her ribs were still not fully recovered, "Senior, is this wound of mine not curable by pills?"

"It could be, but it still takes time." Fang Lin replied after sitting on Shin Yu's bedside, "But said Mr. Wang, you don't have to rush because you still have six more months before being trained by the other higher-ups."

"Wouldn't it be better if I quickly recover in order to gain more of his teachings?"

"That's true, but he had already almost given all the teachings that had been restricted by the Chairman. So, it's useless if you recover quickly because you'll only be taught that by him." Fang Lin replied casually.

Shin Yu was a little surprised to learn the information, it was fitting that he felt a little strange because the Sword King Master had not taught any other techniques after mastering the three techniques given by him perfectly.

"Although the expression is flat, it seems that you are a little surprised, huh?" Fang Lin slightly narrowed his eyes, looking at Shin Yu closely, "Well, the Chairman's reason was to limit him from not wanting to make the members angry over their special treatment of you."

"That's it, huh? Is it not because you do not want to make me a double-edged sword?"

"Even you realize it too? Oh, my God, for a 10-year-old, your thinking is both incredible and horrible." Fang Lin was amazed.

"It's very easy if seniors think with logic." replied Shin Yu quickly.

Fang Lin only let out a small snort then opened up another topic that concerned Shin Yu's training and the others.
