The next day, in front of the old hut, it was seen that Zhen had prepared with a sword and a book in his hand.
"Alright, it's time to train." Zhen said excitedly.
"But before that, I'd better warm up first, before starting to practice the sword." continued Zhen as he stretched his hand.
"But what should I do?" thought Zhen.
After a while, Zhen finally decided to run around the old hut.
Zhen then started running around the old hut excitedly. Until a while, he finally finished and stopped where he had stood before.
"Huh. huh. hah.., okay well enough, this is quite tiring. It's time to practice the sword." said Zhen with disordered breathing.
Zhen caught his breath and began to open the book in his hand and read it. On the first page of the book contains procedures for absorbing natural energy and changing it into which can be channeled to all parts of the body.
Not only that, it can also be flowed on weapons or compacted, thus creating energy balls that can be changed according to the style controlled by the user.
Zhen then drew his sword and began to demonstrate the contents of the book. He sat cross-legged on a rock and closed his eyes. Zhen started to sense the natural energy around him.
After sensing the surrounding natural energy, Zhen then began to absorb the natural energy and then turn it into mana centered on the energy core in the body.
A moment later, Zhen sensed the mana gathering rapidly within the energy core. Zhen then opened his eyes, a bright smile was seen adorning his face.
"Well, I feel my body getting stronger and more energized. I thought it would be difficult to absorb the natural energy, it turned out that it was very easy" Zhen said with a wide smile adorning his face.
"Now step into the next stage, circulate the mana throughout the body." continued Zhen a little seriously.
Zhen then sensed the mana within his body and then tried to circulate it to all parts of his body.
Slowly, mana began to spread throughout Zhen's body. Zhen felt the energy in his body drain quickly, before long the mana in his entire body disappeared.
Zhen was lying in the grass, his breath hunting with sweat filling his body making the clothes he was wearing wet.
"Hah.. hah.. hah.., this... is very.. tiring... hah... hah... huh.." said Zhen gasping.
Zhen then inhaled some air to stabilize his breath and then got up. He took out his sword and pointed it forward.
"Alright, then the science of swordsmanship" said Zhen.
Zhen then began to demonstrate the sword technique written on the book he was reading.
While demonstrating the sword technique, Zhen felt a bit of difficulty. He kept showing it over and over again until he got used to it.
Slowly, Zhen began to master the movements of those sword techniques. As time went on, his movements started to get faster and smoother.
Zhen continued to do so until he had completely mastered the sword move. A moment later, he stopped his movements and wiped the sweat that had filled his face.
"Huh. hah.., I finally mastered this sword technique. I felt my steps become lighter." Zhen smiled as he stepped his foot.
"Alright the next stage, circulate mana on the weapon, I think it will be difficult." continued Zhen while adjusting his breath.
After feeling ready, Zhen then sensed the mana in his body, then circulated it on the sword he was holding.
A bright light emanated from the sword, a bright blue-colored energy surrounded the sword.
"Well, it wasn't as hard as I imagined.But it was very energy draining.." Zhen smiled and suddenly shouted out loudly.
'Bugh'
'trams'
"Aww, sick.." - Erang Zhen.
Zhen fell down from his position making the sword he was holding loose and fell along with him.
"Hah.huh..., I.. very tired..." said Zhen stammered.
"I.. feel the energy.. inside... my body... hah... drained out... hah..." continued Zhen while trying to move his body.
A moment later, Zhen managed to move his body. He then took a cross-legged sitting position then closed his eyes, then absorbed the natural energy and turned it into mana.
A few hours passed, Zhen opened his eyes and felt his body return strong and energized. Even better than before.
"Alright, let's continue the training" Zhen said excitedly.
Zhen got up and took back his sword.
"I'll try again" said Zhen.
Zhen again circulated his mana on the sword. A bright light along with bright blue colored energy adorned the sword.
"Hahaha. Haha...." Zhen laughed with excitement.
Zhen then reenacted the sword technique he had just mastered. By the time he swung his sword, he felt the sword technique he was playing was getting stronger.
Not only that, Zhen's movements also grew faster and smoother. Every time he stepped, he looked like the wind was blowing. Similarly, as he swung his sword, the strength of his sword techniques grew, even being able to split the wind.
Zhen kept doing it over and over again, until he felt enough. Zhen then stopped his movements and kept the sword.
"Hahaha.., I feel really excited" Zhen said with a big smile.
Zhen again opened the book containing the sword technique.
"Hmm, one more stage left. Solidify mana." said Zhen while reading the book.
After a while, Zhen closed the book and kept it.
"Let's try." said Zhen.
Zhen sensed the mana within his body, then tried to condense it. A small ball of energy, like a marble, was created before him.
Just now that the energy ball was created, it instantly disappeared leaving behind a gust of wind.
"Huh, what the hell is this." said Zhen a little annoyed.
Zhen then again condensed the mana, but the repeated events made him very upset.
"Haaahhh..., sialaaaan.., why can't....." Yelled Zhen loudly.
Zhen again condensed the mana, but the incident repeated itself.
Feeling very upset, Zhen stopped condensing his mana. He sat down and tried to calm himself.
"Damn it.., why is it so hard" Zhen said as he rubbed his head violently.
After feeling calm, Zhen stood up again. He again condensed his mana, instantly an energy ball the size of an adult human hand formed in his hand.
"Finally I can do it.. hahaha.." said Zhen and laughed with excitement.
Zhen then thought of a sword, the instant the energy ball turned into a bright blue-colored sword attached to his hand.
"Hahaha.., I can do it hahaha..." Zhen laughed while jumping up and down.
Not far from there, behind a large tree, a beautiful girl laughed while looking at Zhen who was jumping up and down in excitement.
"Hahaha, he's so funny. Hahaha." said the girl.
Zhen who heard the sound of someone's laughter immediately stopped his action. The sword created from the energy ball disappeared.
Zhen then turned towards the sound of laughter and saw a girl laughing while looking at him from behind a big tree.
Zhen then scratched his head in restraining the embarrassment. He immediately turned around to cover his flushed-looking face.
The laughing girl, noticing Zhen's gaze pointing at her, immediately stopped her laughter. He ran away from the tree into the village.
Zhen turned back to look at the big tree, but did not find the girl there.
Zhen scratched his head, then walked back into the old hut because it was late at night thinking about the girl he saw.
'Who is that girl?' ask Zhen inwardly.
