Shin Yu's
Last Practice

"Definitely, huh? Of course not!" Fang Wei moved forward after exclaiming like that, this time he would be careful not to repeat the previous incident.

Shin Yu secretly sighed long before being wary as well, they then exchanged attacks but the boy used his bare hands and did not use the sword thrown by Fang Wei.

Fang Wei did not care that even though Shin Yu did not use his bare hands, using his dagger he continued to attack his opponent very quickly.

Shin Yu tried to think clearly when fending off the attack launched by Fang Wei, her opponent had used Shadow Step making it impossible for her to counterattack.

Keep in mind that Shin Yu was unable to maintain the layer of energy that protected his body when moving. Thus, even though he had tried his hardest to dodge or fend off, he still received dozens of incisions from Fang Wei's dagger.

Bam!

Shin Yu received a kick attack from Fang Wei, he bounced against the wall and created a small crack there.

"It's not wrong Lord Sword King said that you were something troublesome..." Shin Yu stood up while holding onto her injured ribs, "Are you satisfied with beating up a junior mercilessly?"

"Heh... It's still not much, I'm gonna make you feel the hell out of the world." Fang Wei walked up to Shin Yu as if victory was already on his side.

When Fang Wei was about to use Shadow Step, someone pulled the female's ear and she was none other than Fang Lin who was her elder brother.

"Based on that snot kid, how many times have I reminded you not to bother him? Why are you still breaking?" Fang Lin asked while showing an annoyed expression.

Fang Wei himself instantly removed his dagger and immediately held onto the ear that was pulled by his brother, "Duh, ouch! Gege! What the fuck?!"

"You still asking?" Fang Lin strengthened his jewels and made Fang Wei even more thrashing in pain.

"Good, fine! I know I was wrong! I won't repeat it again!" Fang Wei instantly gave up because her brother's jewel was much more sick than being slashed with a sword blade.

Fang Lin clucked softly before releasing the jewel, he immediately held his sister's head so as not to run away then turned his eyes to Shin Yu, "Look, forgive this kid's behavior. He'll be sorry for bothering you, I hope you can forgive him..."

"No problem, senior.." said Shin Yu calmly, he did not want to bother with it any further, "But at least, give me a pill that can heal all these external wounds."

Fang Lin gave a small nod then took out a white pill from the empty air and threw it at Shin Yu, "I'll ask the maid to clean your room, so wait..."

"All right..." Shin Yu replied after successfully catching the pill.

"Then, my sister and I go first. I'll make sure he won't bother you in the future."

Shin Yu only gave a small nod to respond to that, while Fang Lin picked up the dagger that was on the floor before turning around and leaving the room with Fang Wei.

Seeing their departure, Shin Yu immediately swallowed the pill that was in his hand. It took a while before the incision wound that was on Shin Yu's body finally recovered completely.

Shin Yu let out a long sigh, her eyes turned towards the door of the room and found a few servants entering and cleaned up the mess in the room without a word.

A week had passed since the scene of Fang Wei making a ruckus. Shin Yu stopped her cultivation because the time had come to train again with the Sword King's Master, Wang Liu.

Right now, Shin Yu had reached the level of a six-star Forging Qi. His progress was extremely fast, because for people who had a Dantian under the White Dantian, it was, raising one star alone takes a month or even months if it is not supplied with resources and a place that has a thick enough Qi layer.

According to the information Shin Yu got from the library, Yu Zhong the owner of the Golden Dantian took about ten years to be able to step on the Nascent Soul level. That meant, he became one of the five youngest cultivators who could reach such a realm at less than 20 years of age.

Shin Yu probably would not have gotten into one of them because he was too late to become a cultivator. Those five people had started the path of cultivators when they were less than 10 years old, moreover they received an awful lot of support thus making their development even more remarkable.

***

In the training room, Shin Yu came and found Wang Liu who was already standing in the middle there with both hands folding behind his waist.

"Hail Lord Sword King." said Shin Yu as he cupped his hands.

"It seems you haven't fully recovered yet." Wang Liu said with a faint smile on his face.

"Yes, that's... Something you meant earlier is indeed troubling me."

"Kukies... I heard you managed to kick him once, that's arguably an incredible feat considering he belongs to one of the geniuses of the organization." Wang Liu chuckled as he combed his white beard with his hands, "By the way, you will do physical exercise until your wounds fully recover. Besides, you also have to prepare yourself for the final practice on the last day of training."

"Prepare for the last rehearsal?" Shin Yu slightly tilted her head in astonishment.

"You'll find out later." Wang Liu replied calmly.

Shin Yu gave a small nod and did not ask any further, she then started to do the physical exercises according to the one directed by the old man.

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

Every day Shin Yu always practiced without knowing when the time of day and night, it did not feel like a year had passed. His age had now stepped on 11 years over a few months, his cultivation had also risen by three stars so he had been at the nine-star Forging Qi level.

Today was the last day that Shin Yu would train with Wang Liu, he had also prepared himself physically and mentally according to the old man's request.

After Shin Yu entered the training ground, he found Wang Liu standing firmly in the middle of the room with ten shabby-clothed middle-aged men behind him. In one look, he could tell that they were ordinary humans but strangely he faintly felt a Killing Intent coming out from their bodies.

"Are you sleeping well?" Wang Liu asked a moment after Shin Yu gave her a greeting.

"Yes." Yeah."

Wang Liu nodded then pointed at the people behind him, "Do you know the reason why there are them here?"

Shin Yu did not immediately reply but he could begin to imagine what kind of training the old man would give.

"I don't know it..." Shin Yu answered.

"The fight of life and death." Wang Liu momentarily fell silent before returning to explain, "These ten people are former professional assassins, but due to a mistake they were imprisoned and received the punishment of 'Dantian Destruction'."

The Punishment Destruction Dantian was considered the most terrifying punishment after death. This is because the Dantian, the energy storage place in the body, will be destroyed so that the punished people will lose the ability to use their power and return to being like ordinary humans.

"You will fight with these ten former assassins and kill them using your own hands. If you fail then the consequences are your own life, are you ready?" Wang Liu asked, his tone sounding resolute.

"What...?" Shin Yu was surprised after hearing all of that in silence.
