YM778.TV Chapter 48: Spar
Both were basic things that could be bought at a roadside stall, but when Shen Yuan was performing them, it seemed like a work of art.
Time passed as evening came and Shen Yuan, Han Ming, and Li Yu sat around a campsite, Li Yu and Shen Yuan were sitting together on one side and Han Ming on another side.
All three of them had grown closer while fighting with their lives on the line, Li Yu looked toward Shen Yuan as she spoke, "I didn\'t expect Brother Yang to be so understanding, you not only helped me and Brother Han Ming thought out the day you even told us about various treasures and herbs."
Her eyes were practically glowing with adoration as she was acting like a fan girl. Han Ming also spoke emotionally,
"I really didn\'t expect to find such a good friend outside my sect brother Yang, it\'s really this Han\'s fortune to make a friend such as you, let me toast this wine to you."
He took out a Spirit Wine that he was saving to curry favor with his Senior brothers back in the sect, he put it into three glasses and shared it with Li Yu and Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan looked at the glasses for a movement and said, "Actually, my real name is not Yang Kai, it\'s Shen Yuan. I didn\'t want to expose my real identity since it might become complicated later. I hope you two can understand."
Li Yu\'s eyes widened in surprise while Han Ming nodded his head as if he expected it.
"It\'s not your fault Brother Yuan, it\'s always good to be cautious when you are outside your sect." Han Ming spoke to lighten the mood.
Shen Yuan shook his head again, "I don\'t belong to any sect."
This time, Han Ming\'s eyes widened in surprise as he asked, "Does that mean you are really a vagrant cultivator Brother Yuan??"
Shen Yuan thought for a second and replied, "Well you can say so, after all, I don\'t even have a master."
Han Ming\'s eyes filled with admiration as he spoke, "It\'s really praiseworthy that you could reach such heights at your young age without the help of any sect. If you were in one of our sects then you will most definitely be one of the Core Disciples."
Shen Yuan shrugged as if he didn\'t care and changed the subject, "What are your plans for the future?"
Li Yu replied, "I will follow Brother Yuan to learn from him." She smiled shyly as her cute face went beet red when she spoke about going to follow Shen Yuan.
Shen Yuan really wanted to pinch her cheeks cause of her cuteness but he controlled himself. Han Ming then spoke, "I will follow Brother Yuan as well and pay this life debt, you didn\'t only save me a single time but multiple times throughout the day."
Shen Yuan looked at the both of them and smiled proudly to have acquired two loyal followers in this single training session, even if they were a little weak he could still make them stronger with his mother\'s treasures.
They continued chatting and eating.
After a while they all entered their respective tents, Shen Yuan lay down on the bed and he closed his eyes to rest, just then the system\'s voice sounded.
[Ding!]
[It\'s detected that the host is undergoing training, to not affect his progress the system will be offline until the host finishes his training.]
"This fucker!!" Shen Yuan cursed loudly as he didn\'t expect the system to turn out to be useless. He was looking forward to its upgrades as well.
"Looks like I need to finish this training soon to check out what surprise this will give me. This better be worth the wait." Shen Yuan went to sleep angrily.
…
The morning sun rose again as Shen Yuan woke up, he yawned as he stood up. He went outside the tent to see that Han Ming was already up and training, "How long have you been training for Han Ming??" He asked lightly as he walked towards him.
"I just woke up, Brother Yuan, I haven\'t been training for long." He replied as he wielded his saber with which he was training.
Shen Yuan unsheathed his sword as he smiled slightly, "Let\'s spar. I want to train as well."
Han Ming excitedly nodded his head. He readied his stance as he grabbed his saber with both hands. Shen Yuan also got in his stance as he wielded his sword with both hands.
They both looked at each other as they began the sparring at once.
Li Yu also got out at that time, silently looking at the training. She smiled slyly as she walked towards them and sat down on the side to watch the match.
Both Shen Yuan and Han Ming had already fought for over 300 rounds, Shen Yuan was still alright but Han Ming was already sweating, just as he lost his balance a little, Shen Yuan slapped his saber away with a palm strike and put his sword on his throat.
"Alright, that\'s enough for training." He spoke as he sheathed his sword. Han Ming dropped to the ground as he breathed arduously. "Haah…haah Brother Yuan, you are really something else. You managed to last this long without breaking a sweat."
Shen Yuan smiled slightly as he put a hand on his nose and said, "You stink, now go and take a bath in the waterfall." He pointed towards the waterfall which was a bit far away.
Han Ming scratched the back of his head as he stood up and went towards the waterfall while laughing lightly.
