"Well, the last one is easy. I guess I should start with that. But where the hell can I train? Doing all those weird poses in the courtyard would be kind of weird." I told myself as I got out of the room. Even at such an early time, there were many people outside. And all of them gave me an answer immediately.
There were many people outside the courtyard who were just practicing the arts that they used. Some of them did what appeared to be Tai Chi, while others were practicing their weapon arts. If I joined them, maybe I wouldn't look so stupid.
I stepped out of the courtyard and went to the training hall. This was where all of the young disciples of the family were supposed to practice martial arts. As I walked through the estate, everyone around me looked at me with surprise.
"Isn't that Liu Feng? Why is he awake now? It is so early! I did not know that the idiot son ever woke up so early. But why is he walking towards the training hall all of a sudden? Don't tell me that he wants to start learning martial arts all of a sudden." one of the people whispered to the other, thinking that I couldn't hear them. I shook my head and continued walking.
The training hall was within my eye of sight. There were about a hundred people there, all my age, dueling each other, and practicing their own martial arts. It surprised me, how many young members there were of the Liu Family.
I stepped onto the grounds and immediately met with contempt.
"Look who it is. It seems that the idiot young master finally understood that it was time to learn martial arts. Looks to me like it is too late. Why don't you go back home and sleep in your mother's embrace? That is all that you know how to do, don't you?" a young man laughed as he pointed at me.
I held it in. "Liu Kun. It looks like you have nothing better to do than to start poking at a bear. Why don't you make yourself scarce so that some people can actually do what they came here to do." I said as I turned around.
I started the first cycle of the Heaven Devouring Art. My moves were fluid, as they should be after so much practice. But all of that did not seem to sit well with Liu Kun. He gnashed his teeth and lunged at me. I heard him jump, and my body turned to the second move of the art. Then the third almost instantly. My body moved out of the way, and Liu Kun fell forward. At this opportune moment, I moved onto the fourth move, and pounced at Liu Kun.
Before he could even react, I slowly whispered, "Put five stat points into strength."
Ping!
"Congratulations. New strength is now 30" the system said.
I smiled, and my fist collided with his own, which he threw out with desperation. But little did he know that I increased my strength by so much already! His arm curled up to him, and my fist continued forward, and hit his face. He fell back a few steps.
My body stopped, and I looked around. With this, I had the attention of everybody on the grounds. All of them were looking at me, some with hostility, and some with wonder. But the one look that was synonymous in everyone was one of surprise. No one expected this outcome.
"You-you-you must have cheated. That is what you must have done. There is no way that this would have happened to me if you faced me in a fair fight. Come let us fight again." Liu Kun pointed his finger at me and said, trembling with rage, and shock.
As if the system knew that he was lying, it buzzed.
Ping!
"Daily Mission 1 Completed. Defeated Liu Kun. 300 exp obtained." the system said.
"Three hundred exp? That is what I get after three whole days of hard work. It seems that the daily missions are a much better way of earning exp. But I think that I need to learn this art and increase the proficiency of the heaven devouring art more. To think that it could be used as an attacking method as well!"
"Come. Let us fight like men now!" Liu Kun shouted at me.
"Just get lost. I came here to practice martial arts, not to deal with some blabbering idiot." I swatted my hand at him. Seeing this, his anger grew even more.
"What is happening over here? I thought that only friendly duels were supposed to take place?" a middle aged man walked over to us. He had a half shaven beard, and what appeared to be a small twig in his mouth. With shabby clothes and unkempt hair, I would have mistaken him as a beggar. But I knew better.
"Liu Feng greets the seventh elder." I bowed down with my fists together.
"Both of you. Go your own ways. You will fight after two months anyways for the selection of the three participants from our family. Liu Feng wait here. I want to speak with you." the seventh elder, Liu Jian, glanced at me.
"Follow me." Liu Jian said, and he walked past me. I quickly turned around and followed the man. For a man who looked so haggard and weak, he had a very quick pace. I had to jog to catch up to him, surprisingly.
We went to the far end of the training grounds, where there was a tall building. The man at the entrance, the guard glanced at Liu Jian. The guard was old, and he looked like a frail grandfather.
"Old Tian. Let me in. I want to speak with this child in private." Liu Jian asked the guard.
The guard, Old Tian, looked at me, and his eyes opened wide with shock.
"Such a good body? Such a waste. His peak is over. He would have become so much more. He should have come here earlier. Do what you want to do with him." Old Tian said as he moved to the side.
Liu Jian nodded and he walked into the building, with me following him. We approached a room that was empty. Which was surprising, because this room was filled with weapons. It was supposed to be bustling, right?
"Alright. Tell me now. How did you get so powerful? I know that you were not hiding anything. I know that you grew this powerful only during the time that you went missing. Tell me what you found out there." Liu Jian asked me, his face serious and stern.
"Host is in trouble. System suggests host to use the story line, An old master found me, and he took a little interest. He tapped me on the forehead, and I found myself in a cave a few weeks later." the system said, coming to my rescue.
