Chương 36: Time skip, One year
Feng Xuan spent an entire year rigorously honing his foundational skills under the meticulous guidance of Shivarjuna. The training was intense and multifaceted, covering basic archery techniques, Vedic knowledge, and visualization exercises. Each day, Feng Xuan would rise early, his mind focused and his body ready for the grueling yet rewarding regimen that lay ahead.
Shivarjuna, his mentor from the epic era of the Mahabharata, ensured that Feng Xuan's training was comprehensive and balanced. The legendary archer emphasized the importance of mastering the basics before moving on to more advanced techniques.
In the serene mornings, Feng Xuan practiced basic archery. He worked on his stance, posture, grip, hand position, drawing the bow, knocking the arrow, and aiming. Each element was broken down and practiced until it became second nature. His training included various drills to improve his precision and consistency, such as shooting targets at different distances and angles. Shivarjuna often reminded him that perfection in these basics would form the bedrock of his future prowess.
In addition to archery, Feng Xuan delved deep into Vedic knowledge. Shivarjuna taught him ancient scriptures, mantras, and philosophies that enhanced his mental clarity and spiritual awareness. These lessons were not just about gaining knowledge but about developing a mindset that could harness the power of his martial soul to its fullest potential. Feng Xuan learned about the interconnectedness of all things and how to draw upon the natural world's energies to strengthen his spirit power.
Visualization exercises were another crucial component of Feng Xuan's training. Shivarjuna guided him in visualizing his spirit power flowing through his body, enhancing his control and focus. These exercises helped Feng Xuan build a strong mental image of his targets and improve his concentration during archery practice. Visualization also played a key role in developing his ability to summon and control his martial soul, the Golden Bow Vijaya.
An important aspect of Feng Xuan's training involved learning to conceal his spirit ring. Shivarjuna taught him the technique of developing a ring illusion to hide his spirit ring, a skill that would prove invaluable in future battles. This illusion allowed Feng Xuan to mask his true abilities, giving him a strategic advantage against opponents who might underestimate him.
One evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, Shivarjuna spoke to Feng Xuan about the significance of this illusion. "Feng Xuan, the ability to conceal your spirit ring is not just about deception; it's about strategy. In battles, knowledge is power. By hiding your true strength, you can catch your enemies off guard and gain the upper hand. Also, your second spirit ring should be at least 1000 year which is eye-catching and you will be in danger if someone know that you can absorb 1000 year spirit ring as second spirit ring. "
Feng Xuan nodded, understanding the wisdom in Shivarjuna's words. He practiced the ring illusion diligently, perfecting the technique until he could summon and hide his spirit ring effortlessly.
The year of rigorous training transformed Feng Xuan. His body became stronger, his mind sharper, and his spirit power more controlled. He felt a deep sense of fulfilment as he saw the progress he had made, but he also knew that this was just the beginning of his journey.
During this year, Feng Xuan also had an unexpected visitor. Yue Guan, one of the formidable members of the Spirit Hall, paid him a visit. Yue Guan observed Feng Xuan's training with keen interest and, with a hint of curiosity, asked if he needed any assistance. Feng Xuan, respectful but determined to prove his self-reliance, thanked Yue Guan for his concern and politely declined, expressing his desire to complete his training under Shivarjuna's guidance.
Feng Xuan's soul power saw significant growth. After acquiring his first soul ring from the 830-year-old Phantom Hawk, his soul power surged to level 14. This initial boost was exhilarating, a tangible reward for his hard-fought battle and successful absorption of the spirit ring under Shivarjuna's careful guidance.
As the months passed, Feng Xuan's dedication to his training yielded even greater results. His relentless practice in basic archery, Vedic knowledge, and visualization exercises, along with the mastery of the ring illusion technique, propelled his soul power to an impressive level 19. This growth was a testament to his unwavering determination and the efficacy of Shivarjuna's tutelage.
During the academy's vacation period, Feng Xuan took the opportunity to visit Old Jack, his adoptive grandfather, in his hometown. The reunion was a warm and comforting respite from his rigorous training. Old Jack was overjoyed to see Feng Xuan and proud of the progress he had made. They spent quality time together, with Feng Xuan sharing stories of his adventures and achievements. Old Jack listened intently, offering words of wisdom and encouragement.
One afternoon, as they sat together under the shade of an old oak tree, Old Jack looked at Feng Xuan with a mixture of pride and concern. "You've come a long way, Xuan," he said, his voice filled with warmth. "But remember, strength and power must be tempered with wisdom and kindness. Always use your abilities to protect and help others."
Feng Xuan nodded, absorbing his grandfather's words. "I will, Grandfather. I promise to honor the values you've taught me and use my strength for good."
After a refreshing and fulfilling break, Feng Xuan returned to Nuoding Academy, rejuvenated and more determined than ever. As he stepped back into the academy grounds, he felt a renewed sense of purpose. His training with Shivarjuna continued, now delving into the deeper and more complex aspects of archery and martial arts.
Throughout the year, Shivarjuna's guidance remained a constant source of inspiration and strength. One evening, after an intense training session, Shivarjuna praised Feng Xuan's progress. "You have grown significantly, Feng Xuan. Your soul power has reached level 19, and your mastery over the bow and your martial skills have improved tremendously. You are well on your way to becoming a soul grandmaster."
Feng Xuan felt a swell of pride and gratitude. "Thank you, Master Shivarjuna. Your guidance has been invaluable. I will continue to work hard and strive to reach even greater heights."
The bond between Feng Xuan and Shivarjuna deepened with each passing day, built on mutual respect and a shared commitment to excellence. Feng Xuan's journey was far from over, but with Shivarjuna by his side, he felt ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Shivarjuna observed Feng Xuan's dedication and progress with pride. One day, as they concluded another intense training session, Shivarjuna spoke to him with a sense of anticipation. "Feng Xuan, you have shown great dedication and mastery over the basics. It is now time to take your training to the next level. We will begin your training with Astras, the divine weapons of immense power. But remember, with great power comes great responsibility. You must use these abilities wisely and justly."
Feng Xuan felt a surge of excitement and determination. The year of foundational training had prepared him well, and he was ready to embrace the new challenges that lay ahead.
