Against Heaven

Chapter 02

Chang San could already combine two different techniques. Like the palm technique combined with the sun fire technique. Also there are many other moves..

“You grew up in San Er. Your body is much taller than when we first met. And you are also more handsome” Teacher Fei jokes.

“Thank you Master, your existence is the best thing I have right now”

They went back to chatting casually while sipping the drinks that were available.

Inside the cave there is a library that holds some information about cultivation, medicine and weapon grades. Chang San also started looking for information about this world.

It is said the world is so wide. Even in the North Continent, there was the Tang empire that controlled many other major Cities and Clans. Including the Chang Clan itself..

He was so engrossed in reading various information that the night changed to morning.

“Ugh...!! Stretching his arms and body, he stood up. "It's time for physical training again .." he said

Then he had permission with Master Fei to train and hunt wild beasts. "Master, I want to practice and hunt," he said.

"Okay, don't go too far. And don't ever cross the fog barrier in the middle of the forbidden forest."

"Okay Master" he replied as he withdrew.

He kept running, occasionally jumping over a tree and running back.

Swiss.... Swiss!

It's time to practice the "Fire the sun comes out"

Whoosh...! While moving his hands forward he combined the palms of the world.

“JUDGMENT PLACE” he shouted.

The image of a large and hot palm came out hitting the boulder.

Duaaaar.... Duaaaaaar....!!

Chang San was satisfied. This technique was so extraordinary, its power scorched nearly a quarter of the forest. But commensurate with the amount of energy in the drain.

Then he practiced the shadow step technique. Within that technique was also a cultivation suppression technique, so it looked like an ordinary human.

After a long day of practice and when he was walking home. Chang San was confused about the direction to go home. He kept walking without noticing that he had entered the fog barrier and kept walking until he found a cave, then he entered it.

"Hopefully this cave is safe" he muttered

Then he began to sit down to restore the drained stamina. Taking the lotus stance he was immersed in cultivation.

Meanwhile on the other hand.

Fei Long was so worried about Chang San's condition. “Where is this child? Why is it still not home? I hope he's okay"

☆☆☆☆☆

Chang San was cultivating, his body was forcefully pulled by something and carried through the wall..

"What place is this? Why did I get sucked in here?”

Wuuuuuut! The sun's flames glowed in Chang San's hand. Illuminate the dark tunnel trying to keep going deeper.

The passage widens and on the walls of the cave you can see rocks that glow illuminating the depths of the cave.

Then he continued walking until he reached the end of the cave. At that time his eyes widened to see so many mountains of gold rising. There are also many weapons and there are several pills in bottles arranged neatly, there are also several self-defense techniques.

Swoosh...!! Suddenly a transparent figure emerged from the void.

"Forgive me for trespassing" Kneeling and clenching fists forward to salute.

“You are a good young man. I was the one who drew you here. I chose you because I saw you as a young man who has a clean heart and determination. I want you to inherit all of my knowledge. Practice here!” said the figure.

"Thank you, I am willing to be a disciple" then he bowed three times.

"Take the pills in the bottle, the pills are red, then sit down and cultivate" He ordered.

Without much asking. Chang San drank it then he sat down and absorbed the medicinal properties of the pill. After a while,

Good....!

A muffled sound in the body indicated that he had leveled up. "Wow, the level has increased so fast, the effect of this medicine is really extraordinary"

“Boom...! Boom...! Boom...!

Three times a muffled sound was heard. Now he was at the early stage warrior king level. What a stroke of luck. Then he conditioned the foundation to balance.

Forgotten time. It had been a year that Chang San had been in the cave practicing and acquiring several new techniques. Like sword techniques and his level of comprehension of swords was already at expert level.

“Lightning Sword Technique, Two Waves Slash.”

Boom..!! Two streaks of light swept across the ground and shook the walls.

“Lightning Sword Technique! God's wrath!”

Boom...! Thousands of electric currents smashed boulders into deep holes in the ground.

"Enough my student" The figure approached and said. "It's time for you to go back up." He said while giving a dimension ring. “Take all the treasures that are here. Drop your blood in this circle of rings” he ordered

"Good teacher, thank you for the teachings that the teacher has given this year," he said sincerely.

Then his body was sucked in and returned to where he sat cultivating before.

“Hmm. Is there a time difference so far that I feel nothing has changed in this cave?”

Then he came out of the cave to return to meet Master Fei Long. However, after walking out, he was intercepted by a three meter tall black fanged wolf.

“Fuuuu. This is a suitable opponent to test tactics.”

Geeeer...!!

Wolf's saliva drips impatiently to eat the prey. He thought his victim was just an ordinary boy.

The wolf also mocked with a grin. Showing black fangs that are so sharp. As if to destroy his opponent's mind. But it's not as easy as it looks, When the wolf's claws try to shake with its attacks. Chang San dodged and immediately issued a move.

“The site of judgment” he muttered.

Wow...!! The big wolf's body fell back. The wolf was surprised not expecting his prey to be so strong.

But Chang San didn't give any space, he attacked again and released a move.

“Lightning Sword Technique! Two Waves Slash!”

Blaaaaar....!!

Two streaks of light coming from the sword energy scorched the wolf's massive body.

"So don't be arrogant," he said. He put the wolf's body into the dimensional ring. Then he jumped and continued his goal to go home.

On the other side of the valley...

Fei Long was pacing around uncomfortably because Chang San didn't come back.

A scream cheered him up.

"Teacher, I'm home!" shouted Chang San from across the river.

“You naughty brat, where have you been going? Why don't you come home overnight?" While asking he was about to knock on Chang San's head.

"Calm down Master, yesterday I was practicing and got lost in the forest fog barrier so I couldn't find my way home"

Hearing that, Fei Long's eyebrows furrowed.

"But I found Heaven's blessing Grandpa!" Chang San added with a confident smile…

Chang San told the story from beginning to end. Recounts his meeting with the transparent figure.

“What heaven's luck.” Fei Long said.

"Then there's nothing you can learn from me. It's time for you to leave here. I know what you're feeling. But for your own good. Go wandering.

An eagle that can fly. Then it will no longer be guarded by its mother. But remember you have to walk the path of virtue."

"Okay Master, I will always remember your message and will practice this knowledge well." Then they hugged each other.

"Hopefully in the future, I can see you shining San Er"

"I promise I won't let you down Master" Chang San replied with a smile.

"Take it easy! Tomorrow you may go." As they walked Fei Long wiped away the tears, they knew each other's sadness..

Morning also greets trying to warm up the gloomy mood because of separation.

“It is time San er”

Chang San kowtowed three times then stood up and said “Goodbye Master!” Steps began to wobble, while waving hands.

“Now Where should I go first!” he muttered.

After leaving the forest he walked south, trying to find the nearest town.

¤¤¤¤¤

Outside the city close to the forest.

“Sreeeng! Sheets! Akh” There was a clash between the bandits and the carriage troop escort..

Because the bodyguards were outnumbered, they also lost. There were two bodyguards who died while on the bandit side no one died, only a few were injured.

“Hahaha, if only you guys gave up from the start. You will not die in vain” Said the bandit leader.

"Too-too-long sir, don't kill us all" said one of the guards who were still alive.

"Ah don't talk too much, die!!"

“Street...! Aaaah...” Heads rolled, but not the dead bodyguards. But the head of the bandit chief.

They were all shocked and no one had time to react. Again the shadows were seen and screams were heard as he passed.

Chang San quickly cut off the bandits' heads. In combination with the shadow step of his attack, he immediately drowned without a fight. Ten bandits were immediately stretched out for their lives. Then he sheathed his sword again.

Then he stepped towards the guards, then said. "It's safe" His hand went up to pat the guard's shoulder who was still scared.

The guard who gaped was surprised and stammered, "Thank you for helping us."

“No need to think about it,” Chang Sjan replied.

"Helping is an obligation," he added again.

Hearing Chang San's answer, Smooth and long legs got out of the carriage. There is a beauty that stirs the soul. He has a round face, a sharp nose, a slender body, and white skin like jade. Wearing a white dress with gold silk adds to the elegance of the figure. A melodious voice was heard, “Thank you sir! My name is Wenxia, ​​if I may ask, what is the name of the lord helper?”

Chang San was also stunned to see this beauty, Because a man's instinct must like beauty.

"Hey... You didn't answer my question?" Wen Xia said while waving her hand in front.

Chang San realized, he replied "My name is Chang San miss, please continue your journey again." Chang San immediately jumped from tree to tree, disappearing from Wen Xia's sight.

“Wa- wait Wen Xia scream!” But Chang San had already disappeared from view.

“If we meet again! I won't let you go!” Wen Xia muttered. Her cheeks were red as she stepped into the carriage.

"What happened to the young lady?" the bodyguard whispered.

"I don't know either, she's not usually shy when looked at by men."

“Guards! We better go back and report this incident to my father.” Wenxia said with a cold face as before.

After arriving at the city gate. Chang San got an inspection, after he finished he walked to find a place to eat...

“Waitress!” Call it.

"Yes sir! Is there anything I can help you with?” answered the waiter kindly.

"I just want to ask, how far is it to go to the city of flowers?" Chang San asked.

"Not too far. After you walk to the east of this city, later you will pass one more city. It's called the city of leaves. After that just got to the city of flowers. But in Leaf City I heard that there is a competition held once every two years. It is said that it will be attended by some of the lord's great clans. If you are interested, please come to the city of leaves, sir.” Closed the waiter at length giving information about the competition.

Chang San also gave him 2 pieces of gold "One piece for yourself, one for the food."

“Thank you very much, young master. Please wait for the dish.” The waiter rushed

¤¤¤¤¤

In the Chang clan....

The second elder Chang Lei brought over a news flier about the competition that was going to be held in the leaf village. And he began to gather the elders..

Because patriarch Chang Kun had started closed-door training. Then He had to ask the first elder as the representative of the clan,

“Elder Bei, what do you think? Who should we send to this competition!” asked Chang Lei.

“I want to take my daughter Chang Wei with me. Because he was already at the peak stage gold level. The rest is up to the second elder to decide.”

Those who heard even whispered.

They began to register who should be included in this competition. Because the quota in each clan is limited to only five people, that too must be at the gold stage to the warrior level.

"Okay, we have a deal! And find a suitable candidate” Second elder Chang Lei said.

"First Chang Wei, second Chang Zun, third Chang Lu Xiao, fourth Chang Siji. And the five children are my own Chang Sun. We closed this meeting" said Chang Lei and then dissolved the meeting.

"Third elder quickly announced to the selected clan members to prepare themselves and get ready, because in a few days we will be leaving for the village of leaves..." Chang Lei said

Meanwhile Chang San entered the inn and paid two gold pieces to rent the best room for the next three days.

Before going far, a voice called out “Sir! This is an advantage” said the receptionist.

"More for you!" Chang San said.

Then he stepped out while looking for the number printed on the keychain.

Finding a room and entering it, Chang San immediately went to the bathroom to clean himself up. When finished he took out a set of clothes that had previously been bought at the store. Then he sat cross-legged, then took a pill bottle from the dimensional ring. A floating red pill with gold stripes. Then caught and put in the mouth.

Chang San cultivated again to absorb the spiritual energy contained in the pill. The energy of the heavens and the earth was spinning in his head, rushing in flowing in his bloodstream….
