Zhen Xions Travel
The Black-robed Man

After the fight, they walked back until they arrived outside the village gate. On arrival outside the village, they saw the road to the village was just a forest in front of him.

"Lyan, we are going to enter this forest" Zhen said as he pointed towards the forest.

Lyan nodded her head in response to Zhen's words, which made Zhen show a lazy expression on his face.

Zhen was intending to step into the forest, but a shadow shot out from within the forest and stopped a few steps before him creating dust scattered in the air.

As the dust disappeared, a black-robed man with a cloak hood covered his head was smiling towards Zhen.

"Well, what else is this" Zhen said lazily.

"Heheh young man, before you go through this forest, face me first" the black-robed man said with a smile.

"Why should I face you?." Zhen asked as he looked at the black-robed man.

"Because I want it." replied the black-robed man casually.

"If I don't want to?" asked Zhen again.

"You don't want to, then feel this." said the black-robed man then darted towards Zhen at high speed.

The black-robed man slid his fist against Zhen's chest, so Zhen bounced in the air until he crashed into the village wall. Fresh blood came out of his mouth.

"Damn...." Shouted Lyan loudly then ran over to Zhen with tears that started to wet his face.

"Stop, or I'll kill him" said the black-robed man rather loudly.

'Well, not long ago I left her, and she already has a woman. Damn it, I will teach you a lesson.' the black-robed man muttered inwardly while revealing an annoyed expression on his face.

Lyan stopped running when she heard the black-robed man say, her tears were now pouring down her face with the sound of sobs.

Zhen who saw the incident, clenched his hands tightly. He then got up to his feet, then pulled out his sword and brandished it forward.

"How dare you make her cry, I'll destroy you, I'll destroy you.." Zhen said in a low voice before shouting out loudly.

Simultaneously, a bright blue light mixed with white light shot out from within his body then wrapped around his body.

The black-robed man's eyes glared at that.

"Where did this boy learn the aerial elemental technique, it seemed that I had only given him a magic book with wind elemental techniques" the black-robed man said in surprise.

Lyan who saw the incident was shocked, her cries also disappeared right then and there. His eyes widened in disbelief, seeing that Zhen possessed that much power.

"The circular slash of the wind lord." Zhen shouted as he spun in place.

A bright blue light shot towards the black-robed man. The black-robed man waved his hand forward, making a bright blue light turn dart towards Zhen.

Zhen swung his sword twice, making a cross move.

"Double slash of the wind lord." Zhen shouted loudly.

A bright blue light collided into each other in the air right before Zhen, creating an explosion that sent Zhen flung backwards with fresh blood coming out of his mouth.

"Damn." Zhen shouted while punching the ground.

Zhen then got up to his feet, then jumped and spun in the air while swinging his sword.

"The sword dance of the ruler of the wind." Shouted Zhen furiously.

A bright blue light continued to be created from each slash of Zhen's sword then shot towards the black-robed man.

The bright blue light hit the transparent wall and vanished instantly without causing an explosion.

Zhen was surprised to see his attack disappear without a trace, while the black-robed man smiled slightly as he continued to wave his hand.

"Hehehe... Zhen, you better calm your anger. If you fight with anger that overwhelms you, you yourself will feel destruction." said the black-robed man as he removed the cloak hood that covered his head.

"Ka.. grandfather." cried Zhen in surprise.

Lyan who heard Zhen's shout widened her eyes then looked at the black-robed man.

"Hehehe.., you've grown stronger Zhen. But where did you get the aerial elemental technique?." asked the black-robed man who turned out to be the old geezer who gave him the book and sword he was using now.

"Ahahaha.., I got it from someone. But I haven't learned the technique yet, I've only learned how to turn mana into an air element." asked Zhen with a slightly arrogant smile.

"I'm taking my words back, you haven't gotten stronger. Look, with just a wave of my hand you've been battered." said the old man, looking down on what made Zhen smile bitterly.

"Hmh, at least I've been trying." Zhen said gruntingly.

Zhen then walked over to the old geezer after storing back his sword.

"Zhen, can I see the book?" asked the old man.

"Sure." Zhen replied briefly and took out the book and gave it to the old man.

The old grandfather took the book that Zhen had given him and paid attention to the book. Shortly after, he returned the book. Zhen took the book back and kept it.

"You may study the book, but it will bring no change to your strength. The book can only be used by a spear user" said the old man.

"It's okay cake, I'll learn it. That way, I don't just have one technique. I've also been able to play the spear." Zhen replied firmly.

"Hahaha.., I like that. Take this Zhen, this book will suit you very well." said the old grandfather as he took out a book from his robe.

"Thank you cake." said Zhen as he picked up the book.

"This sword is the pair of books" said the old man, handing over the sword in his hand.

"Hah, I have not studied the book and have to accept the other book, exhausting." said Zhen as he took the sword and kept it.

After Zhen finished his words, a slap hit his head making him fall on the ground.

"Hmh, get up or I'll do it again" said the man in annoyance.

Zhen then stood up while stroking his head, then looked at the old man and snorted in annoyance.

"Alright Zhen, study the book, and when you have mastered it, I will test your strength" said the old man, re-placing the hood of the robe over his head.

"Good cake" he said lazily.

"Make sure you really master it, or I'll teach you a lesson" said the old man then darted back into the forest.

After the old man's departure, Zhen grumbled to the point of making Lyan laugh. Lyan approached Zhen and told him to lie down.

After Zhen lay down on the ground, Lyan placed her hand on Zhen's chest. Light if bright began to wrap around Zhen's body.

A while later, Zhen and Lyan stood up while staring at the forest.

"Let's go." said Zhen, holding Lyan's hand with a smile.

Lyan nodded her head then smiled in response to Zhen's words. They then walked into the forest with smiles adorning their faces.
