Chapter 293: Yao Mun's Threat Level - 293
After a few days of rest and relaxation, Guang Fu felt his talisman move. He took it out of his spatial ring and listened.
"Guang Fu. Report to the mission building. A special assignment has been posted for you." The voice said before hanging up.
Guang Fu put the talisman back in his spatial ring and walked towards the mission building. The mission building was, as easily guessed, a place where missions were handed out and assigned.
Not every single individual was fit to participate in the war. Those who were weak, those who focused on things like forging and healing, and those who there were too many of.
Instead of wasting their time lazing around, they could go to the mission building and take missions for contribution points.
Healers could heal people, blacksmiths could make weapons for people, and unimportant people could do miscellaneous tasks.
The building was completely wooden and only one floor, but it was extremely big. Guang Fu walked inside, and immediately saw the front desks.
He walked up to one of the twenty stations and talked to the receptionist.
"My name is Guang Fu. I was ordered to receive a mission here." Guang Fu stated.
Without speaking, the black haired lady went in the back for around half a minute and brought back an envelope.
"Follow the map. That is all the mission states." The lady said as Guang Fu received the envelope.
Guang Fu nodded and headed to one of the tables in the room. The tables were usually used for team meetings, but they were also briefly used to open information.
Guang Fu opened the envelope. It held only a map and some words describing where to go and certain landmarks.
After a moment, Guang Fu shrugged and got up. He was ordered to do the mission, so he would do it regardless of its weirdness.
It took only a few minutes for Guang Fu to leave the city-sized base. He followed a dirt trial for 30 miles, before turning onto another one for 50 miles.
He then walked through a valley, took a detour around a mountain, walked for more than 100 miles on a single trail, and accidentally wandered into a cave, before finally reaching the foot of a large mountain.
The mountain was covered with pink cherry blossom trees. From afar, one could also see a few waterfalls.
Where Guang Fu stood, there was a trail upwards. Decorating that trail were red torii gates and a lining of purple wisteria trees.
The mountain looked straight out of a painting. It seemed like the type of thing you would hear of, but never actually see.
Guang Fu began to walk up the mountain trail, admiring the scenery along the way.
After a few minutes, the upward slope flattened. The mountain sloped up all the way, except for one point that seemed to be carved off. It was the sole flat area around.
As Guang Fu reached that point, he saw a large yard and a small wooden house. Sitting on the porch of that house was someone that any person in the Heaven world and the Beast world could recognize.
Tian Ren.
Seeing Tian Ren himself, Guang Fu was stunned into stillness. As he stood there, dumbfounded, Tian Ren opened his eyes.
"Welcome. Come, sit next to me." He spoke evenely.
Tian Ren had a slightly mystical look, but the most noticeable thing was the lightning bolt on his forehead.
After a moment, Guang Fu shook his head and walked through the yard to Tian Ren. After a moment of hesitation, he sat next to him.
"Do you know why you were called here?" Tian Ren asked.
"I do not." Guang Fu responded.
"Because of the person who defeated you. Simply put, there is nobody in the Heaven world at the nascent soul realm who stands a chance of defeating him. Except you." Tian Ren spoke.
"Why me?" Guang Fu responded with a confused look on his face.
"Because you too are special. Also, it seems like you two share an entwined fate." Tian Ren spoke.
Before Guang Fu responded, Tian Ren continued.
"In a way, me and Bi Chong share an entwined fate, but that is only because we are the strongest among our worlds. You and Yao Mun, the man who defeated you, however, are different. Almost at the same time, you and him appeared from nowhere. Both of you can be considered once in a hundred thousand years talents, but appeared so close to each other. As a final hint, you are both basically opposites." Tian Ren finished.
Guang Fu thought about his words for a while and nodded. He had no understanding of Yao Mun, but he understood what Tian Ren was saying.
"With my defensive item and my talent, I have a slight chance of defeating Yao Mun." Guang Fu said before Tian Ren needed to.
"Indeed. Until you reach 10th level of the nascent soul realm, I will train you in offensive techniques with all of my ability. At that time, he should also have superior speed, so I'll add in some detection techniques." Tian Ren said.
"Alright." Guang Fu said. He would never pass on the opportunity to receive training from the strongest and first heavenborn.
"Before we start, can you tell me who this Yao Mun is? You said he was the opposite of me, but how so?" Guang Fu asked.
"I've had my eye on you for a while. I have seen how you are. You are kind, well intentioned, and overall, good. Yao Mun is none of those things. He is evil, he lives to kill and harm. Yet, he is powerful. Too powerful to be left alive. It is known that he wishes to kill Heaven. At first, I laughed it off as a joke. However, he may be able to achieve it. He is a horrifying talent with a horrifying combat ability. For the sake of the entire world, he must be killed." Tian Ren explained.
Guang Fu was shocked hearing his words.
"You expect me to kill someone so talented that he poses a threat to Heaven itself?" Guang Fu asked.
"I do not expect anything. It simply must happen. One way or another, Yao Mun cannot live." Tian Ren said.
Chapter 294: Training Guang Fu - 294
After Guang Fu and Tian Ren's talk, Guang Fu was brought to a room.
"This is where you will be sleeping. Rest well. There is a high chance that you will not enjoy the next few days." Tian Ren said as he walked away.
Guang Fu entered the room and sat on the bed. At his level, sleep had no benefit. He sat on the bed and began to cultivate.
As the night passed and the morning sun rose, Guang Fu heard a bell ring. He immediately got off of the bed and walked outside.
In the front lawn, Tian Ren stood with a sword. The sword was blue. Not blue like the ocean or blue like ice, but blue like lightning.
Tian Ren pointed towards a weapon rack with his sword and spoke.
"Choose any weapon from that rack. It will be yours from then on." He said.
Guang Fu nodded and walked over to the rack. The rack was as tall as himself and 5 times wider.
There were hundreds of weapons on it, all at the peak of the nascent soul realm. Guang Fu looked over swords, spears, nunchucks, bows, poles, and many other weapons before coming to a conclusion.
He grabbed at a yellow longsword and held it. He felt as if the sword was calling out to him, likely because of his light affinity and personality.
"Good. Now come over here." Tian Ren said as he pointed at the ground across from him.
Guang Fu nodded and began to walk over. Just as he was 20 feet away from Tian Ren, Tian Ren swung his sword.
A blue arc came out of it and hit Guang Fu before he could react. Two more arcs followed behind it, wearing out the shield emblems abilities.
"I almost forgot. Take that off, you won't be needing it." Tian Ren added.
Guang Fu nodded stiffly.
'He seems so much different than he was yesterday.' Guang Fu thought to himself as he sat the emblem on the porch and walked back towards Tian Ren.
Yesterday, Tian Ren seemed calm and graceful, only seeming solemn and serious when speaking of Yao Mun.
Today, Tian Ren seemed even more serious than when speaking of Yao Mun.
Guang Fu walked over until he was ten feet in front of Tian Ren.
"I don't believe in following swordsmanship styles." Tian Ren said. "The only thing you should take from a book is martial arts such as the arc I created before. Swinging the sword is different for everyone. A sword style would only hold a talented person back."
Tian Ren held his sword horizontally in front of his chin as he stared down at his sword.
"The way I swing my sword was learned through centuries of practice and thousands of battles. Unfortunately, we don't have that much time for you. Therefore, I shall take a much more extreme approach." Tian Ren said as his eyes turned and locked on Guang Fu.
"I am going to slice you up until you are on the verge of death. Perhaps through those experiences, you will learn something." Tian Ren said as he took a step forward.
Guang Fu opened his mouth to speak, but a sword appeared in front of him before he could say a word.
Guang Fu ducked and swung his sword upwards, but a foot hit his face and knocked him onto his back. Then, from above, a sword shot down and stabbed into his arm.
Ahhh!
Guang Fu let out a scream, but a foot kicked him backwards and took the air from his lungs.
"Get up." Tian Ren said.
Guang Fu looked upwards, about to say something, but he saw Tian Ren's eyes. Fearfully, he stood up and grabbed his sword.
Tian Ren disappeared and a sword came slashing at his face from the side. Tian Ren barely blocked it before it slashed his face open.
"You must learn to deal with an opponent faster than you. You must also learn to deal with an opponent stronger than you." Tian Ren said as he attacked Guang Fu from different angles. Guang Fu was barely able to block the attacks.
"Make no mistake, there is no world where you fairly beat Yao Mun. He is faster than you, stronger than you, he has better defense than you. Heaven knows that his offense is better than yours!" Tian Ren said.
Guang Fu's arm was slowing down as time passed. The injury seriously impacted him.
"Before you specialize in countering Yao Mun, you must first realize your true genius. With your talent, you can be tens of times stronger in your realm than you currently are." Tian Ren said
As his sentence finished, Guang Fu's right arm was completely cut off.
"But first, above all. You must know pain." Tian Ren said as Guang Fu's remaining arm was also cut off.
AHHHH!!!
Guang Fu was screaming from the pain. He considered himself good at resisting pain, but he had never felt such pain before.
As Guang Fu was screaming, Tian Ren crouched next to him and held him still.
"Do you think this hurts? What if I told you that Yao Mun feels at least this much pain every time he fights. And boy does he fight a lot. As far as I can see, the only thing you beat Yao Mun in is kindness. Oh right. And being a pathetic weakling." Tian Ren said as Guang Fu's screams died down.
"I'll leave you here for a few minutes. Don't worry, your arms will be regrown." Tian Ren said as he walked to the house and sat on the porch.
He meditated as Guang Fu laid in a pile of his own blood, in too much pain to even scream.
After an hour, Guang Fu passed out. Tian Ren walked up to him and used some life Qi on his body, as well as the Heaven worlds supreme healing technique.
As Tian Ren dragged Guang Fu's body to his room, he couldn't help but worry.
'Can this moron actually beat Yao Mun. If he can't, then I'm stuck.' Tian Ren thought to himself.
He wanted nothing more than to kill Yao Mun himself, but he was restricted by the rules of war, which were followed with an oath, as well as Heaven itself.
'Why won't Heaven just allow me to kill him?' He questioned as he walked back to his spot on the porch.
