Ding! "To increase the level of[Palms of Destruction] kill one thousand enemies by using the dance"
The skill must be executed by performing a dance as for unlocking the first palm, he must kill one thousand ennemies. "let's perform the dance first"
Getting into position. Si Zhang began breathing slowly but greatly he then performed the dance that the Martial Devil Zhao used to counter and kill the saints and saintesses, each move was a counter attack.
"I move like a fire ready to burn everything to ashes, but it is surprisingly exhausting" But this dance will be of a great advantage in the duels tomorrow" at least he needed to kill ennemies to level up the Palms of Destruction, and not specifically martial artists. This makes everything a lot easier.
"Im gonna stroll through the clan domain, I have nothing else to do now" Going through the clan domain he saw them doing all kinds of things like the citizens of the city.
Some clan members were forging swords and spears, others were taking care of the horses. Si Zhang decided to make a visit to Yami.
Entering the stables he saw an old man with a curved back, it made him look very small. He had very little to no hair. He was struggling in controlling Yami.
"Little horse calm down, this old man only wants to feed you" walking towards the old man, Si Zhang went to help. "old man, what is the problem?"
Looking at Si Zhang the old man answered quickly. "This humble servant only wanted to feed this horse, is he perhaps yours?"
"Yes, he is my horse" nodding to Si Zhang and turning to look back at Yami the old man spoke. "I see, young master my intention was not to offend you in any way. Your horse only reminds me of my own horse, he died when I was twenty"
"he was as black as the night and he was so mean, hahahaha. But tell me young master, your horse is young but his legs are very developed. What do you give him to eat?"
Looking at Yami's legs, he was sure of it, his legs had doubled in size. They were veiny and muscular. "damn, it's surely because of the qi that I circulated in his legs for hours straight. That thing is like freaking steroids but way stronger" thought Si Zhang
"well he eats like a normal horse I suppose" the old man nodded, he then took his leave.
"Yami, I will be out of Si City for maybe one week or more. So you better behave yourself, ok?" carresing Yami's head, Si Zhang was very worried for him.
"I must go now" leaving the stable, Si Zhang advanced to the forge. The smith was
muscular fat and he had a big beard. Looking at Si Zhang, he welcomed him with a smile.
"welcome to my forge junior, what can I do for you?" what could Si Zhang need, maybe a new sword.
"Hello senior brother, I would like you to inspect my sword." taking the sword out of Si Zhang's hands the blacksmith did what he was asked. "this is a fine sword, junior. So, what do you want me to particularly inspect?"
"I would like it if you sharpen my sword, senior brother" looking at the sword, it was already pretty sharp, but he could make it even sharper. "junior, I can sharpen but it will cost you one gold coin"
Taking one gold coin out of his poach, Si Zhang handed it to the blacksmith. "junior, come back tonight to retrieve your sword"
The stable, the forge, it was time to visit the training grounds. Walking towards the training grounds, he saw the four disciples of the other elders sitting together. They were talking.
Si Zhang approached them. "hello brothers, sister" looking at Si Zhang they didn't say a word. "hello brother, nice to meet you I am Si Chyou. Come sit down with us"
Si Chyou, the only girl of the group made Si Zhang feel at ease. He sat next to a very calm young man. "so, won't you present yourself?"
"my name is Si Zhang, disciple of the great elder. I am fairly new to the world of martial arts, I began practicing it one month ago. Currently I am in the early stage of the second-rate martial warrior realm"
The three young men had unbelievable expressions. "another prodigy besides sister Chyou" they tought. "very impressive brother Zhang, I am currently in the intermediate stage of the first-rate martial warrior realm"
Si Zhang was really impressed by Si Chyou, she is no older than fifteen but already a first-rate martial warrior. Each one of them proceeded in presenting themselves to Si Zhang.
The Calm young man presented himself next. "I am Si Feng, disciple of the second elder. Intermediate stage First rate martial artist"
An aggressive looking young man talked next.
"I am the powerful Si Hu, disciple of the first elder. Peak stage first-rate martial warrior realm" he was a very confident young man
And the last one was a young men with sharp eyes. "My name is Si Zixin and I am the disciple of the fourth elder. Peak stage first-rate martial warrior"
To be so powerful at the the age of eighteen to twenty, their talent is superior to the others.
And for Si Chyou to be on par with them was incredible.
"So, in two days will be the great day. We cannot afford to lose or we will bring shame and calamity to the clan" Si Hu expressed his what was in his mind.
"Why would we bring calamity?" asked Si Zhang, he was answered by Si Zixin. "brother Zhang, if we lose, then we will have to pay a great price and the same goes for the Wei clan. If they lose they also shall pay a great price"
"brother Zixin, what do you mean by great price?" Si Zhang couldn't understand. "The winner shall decide what will happen to the loser, at least that's what I think the Wang clan will announce. They always do everything to weaken the others clans to keep their position as the strongest"
Nodding to his words, Si Zhang finally understood. "well, it was nice meeting all of you, see you tomorrow" Si Zhang stood up and went home.
"Do you think that brother Zhang is strong enough to win in the duels?" the calm Si Feng asked Si Hu. "he is not strong enough, but he surely has tricks up his sleeves. To be taken as the disciple of the great elder is no joke"
All of them agreed on this point.
