Chương 5: Chapter-5: Training With Buddies 2! [Weapon Will] Awakens!
A few months passed by like this. Training and enjoying. After a total of 8 months since the change in Long Chen i.e. reincarnation of Shen Long and awakening of memories of Pill God which was either sealed ot hidden within him, Long Chen and his group has shown a lot of growth.
Not only did Long Chen only get govused at training, he completed his plan with his mother but also took external help .e. Long Chen with his mother's and Shi Feng's family's help bought a vast land of 2000 Sq. Li. (Note: it almost around 250.00 Sp. miles. ) at outskirts of the capital city, at three locations and also brought lots of cattles under Shi Feng's family's name to build a farming land enough for the poor and homeless people of the nation to get a place to live and work, for them to be abke to live a proud life. And for this activity, the Emperor of the Phoenix Empire even rewarded Shi Feng's father generously by awarding him the position of a Minister of Commoner's Affairs while also decreasing the tax on the products from thise three land parts where the poor were allowed to live and work.
Long Chen also requested for a notice to be applied at he place if a person named Aman or Wilde visits the place giving the description as humongously monstrous, childish, obedient and a big glutton.
Now talking about the youngsters...
Shi Feng, the most talented and hardworking one, he has not only reached the Great Circle of Qi Condensing Realm, but having been dedicating most of his time in his last past 4 months on Sword practices repeating all basics stances, footwork and techniques till perfection and beyond till polishing all of his technique to the stage where he can use it like a dance, a beautiful yet dangerous dance. With all the training anf dedication he had already touched the stage of awakening Sword Will, i.e. nearing towards the Sword Dao.
While others didn't show such great progress of awakening intent or anything similar, they also worked their asses-off till they reached 9th Heaventhstage of Qi Condensing Realm.
Since Long Chen also had the duty of refining pills and helping his other friends he himself didn't have much of time for practising suring day, he trained himself even at night tiring to the limit but continuing till he could finally awaken the Saber Will, so though he was just at the 8th Heaventhstage of Qi Condensing Realm he already had touched the surface of Saber Will.
Along which he also supplied Qi Gathering Pills to his mother, Bao-er due to which they were able to cultivate upon Long Chen's constant pressure and reached 3rd and 5th Heaventhstage of Qi Condensation Realm resoectively. He also supplied those pills to Shi Feng's family under the disguise of sweets.
During their days of training, Fatty Yu asked, "Brother Shi, you have been at the Great Circle of Qi Condensing Realm for nearly two months, why don't you just breakthrough to Blood Condensation Realm?" to which other four, not Long Chen, look at Shi Feng having thwir curiosity piqued.
Shi Feng with a simple smile says, "It is because of brother Long." to which they look at Long Chen practicing Saber while not hearing much and Shi Feng continues, "Two months ago when I reached Great Circle of Qi Condensing Realm, brother Long Chen came to me and saud about the [Weapon] Force which not only piqued my interest but as he said about it to me, I learnt about vastness of cultivation and prowess that can be attained within the path. And he also said one thing about weapon [will] and how it can actually be beneficial if learnt before Blood Condensation Stage."
"[Weapon] force? Weapon [Will]!? Brother Shi Feng, please explain about it to us as well!", the five requested Shi Feng with amused and excited faces. Shi Feng calms them down and starts to explain:
"[Weapon] Force to be exact is something a weapon weilder, one who weilds a weapon as his/her mate for training and getting strong together with it's ways improving daily in the [WAY] of using weapin with Mastery and Perfection polishing the skills only for weilding the weapon and letting it lead you in the oath that you decide together with it instead of using it as a material just to kill or perform some tasks.
It is divided in following categories:
[Weapon] Will
{Moving on the Path of [Weapon] Dao}
[Weapon] Intent; It is sub-divided into:
(Awakening), (Mastery) and (True Intent)
{Discovery of One's True Intent For Weilding the [Weapon]}
[Weapon] Essence
{Understanding One's [Weapon] Path. Awakening of a Origin Technique}
[Weapon] Soul-Body Unison
{Upon Reaching the State of "One With the [Weapon] Essence" a [Weapon Spirit] is born which slowly forges a [Weapon] body for itself from the Essence of The World}
Also remeber by weapon, I mean actually any weapon such as you can take my sword for example or you may even take Fatty Yu's Axe or brother Long's Saber. Each has its own Dao i.e. Sword Dao, Saber Dao, Axe Dao, etc... but the thing is that; each of [Weapon Dao] of swords, saber, axe, dagger, etc.. having blades originate from [Blade Dao] but are just distinguished in Heaven and Earth by Cultivators. And the biggest benefit is the fact that those who can step on the path of their [Weapon Dao] are not only rare but also more composed, condensed fugures even in the cultivation world with combat power and prowes that surpasses those in same cultivation realm." As Shi Feng explained, he did it in a calm and composed way and in simple manner.
This also ignited and fueled a new fire within the five who immediately started to work harder.
Some days later, a month before New Year, Long Chen and Shi Feng were engaged in a deadly sparring match. The intensity of their duel was such that any outsider would mistake them for mortal enemies fighting to the death. Each clash of their weapons was accompanied by the sound of steel meeting steel, echoing through the training ground. They constantly pushed each other beyond their limits, fighting with a ferocity that was both awe-inspiring and terrifying.
Their Qi still sealed, they relied solely on their physical strength and martial skills. This restriction forced them to push their bodies to the utmost limit. Long Chen, wielding his heavy saber, faced off against Shi Feng, who expertly maneuvered his sword. Each fighter was wholly absorbed in the duel, their focus unbreakable.
The weapons of both fighters flickered with a faint light, a sign that they were nearing a breakthrough in their respective Weapon Wills. For days now, their weapons had been showing this sign, a testament to the deep connection they were forming with their chosen arms. The Weapon Will, an advanced concept in martial arts, represented the perfect harmony between a warrior and their weapon. It was an essential step in mastering their martial path.
As Long Chen advanced, not giving Shi Feng a moment to breathe, his saber sliced through the air with a menacing whistle. But Shi Feng, with a deft twist of his wrist, deflected the blow, using the momentum to stabilize himself. In a fluid motion, he counterattacked, his sword aiming straight for Long Chen's heart. Long Chen barely managed to parry the strike, the edge of Shi Feng's blade grazing his chest.
The battle grew more intense by the second. Both fighters were covered in cuts and bruises, their blood dripping onto the ground. Yet neither showed any signs of backing down. Their eyes burned with determination, and their bodies moved with a grace that belied the violence of their clash. Every swing of Long Chen's saber and every thrust of Shi Feng's sword were executed with pinpoint accuracy and relentless force.
To the five onlookers—Fatty Yu, Su Heng, Chen Hong, Song Ming, and Yan Qi—the sight was both terrifying and inspiring. The ferocity and skill on display were enough to make their blood boil with excitement. They could feel the energy of the fight, and it spurred them on, igniting their own desire to improve and reach the level of their comrades.
As Long Chen and Shi Feng continued to exchange blows, their movements became almost dance-like. Despite the blood and the brutality, there was a cruel beauty to their fight. Each step, each swing, was executed with perfect timing and precision. The synchronization between their bodies and their weapons was a sight to behold.
Long Chen's saber moved with the weight and power of a tidal wave, his strikes capable of breaking bones and shattering defenses. His footwork was deliberate, each step calculated to maximize the force of his attacks. Shi Feng, on the other hand, was like a leaf in the wind. His movements were fluid and unpredictable, his sword strikes swift and precise. His footwork allowed him to dodge and counter with minimal effort, turning Long Chen's strength against him.
The longer they fought, the more attuned they became to their weapons. The light emanating from their blades grew brighter, a sign that they were drawing ever closer to mastering their Weapon Wills. With each clash, their understanding deepened, their insights becoming clearer. The synergy between their bodies, minds, and weapons was reaching a new level.
Their expressions, once fierce and determined, gradually became calm and serene. Despite the cuts and bruises that marred their bodies, they felt an inner peace. It was as if the pain and the struggle were forging them into something stronger, something greater. The unison between body, mind, and weapon was no longer a distant goal but a reality they were beginning to grasp.
As the fight raged on, their weapons gleamed with a radiant light. Long Chen's saber, heavy and imposing, seemed to hum with energy. Shi Feng's sword, sleek and deadly, glowed with an inner fire. The two warriors moved as if in a trance, their bodies reacting instinctively to the flow of the battle.
With each passing moment, their strikes grew more precise, their movements more fluid. The battle had become a crucible, refining their skills and their resolve. They could feel their bodies growing stronger, their minds clearer. The insights they gained during this intense training would stay with them, guiding them on their path to mastery.
Their comrades watched in awe, feeling a mix of pride and inspiration. The sight of Long Chen and Shi Feng pushing themselves to the limit was a powerful motivator. It reminded them of the importance of perseverance and the rewards of hard work. They too wanted to experience that feeling of unison, that perfect harmony between warrior and weapon.
And the five onlookers were also not unlucky. In fact, they were the luckiest because as they watched the fight turning from beginning till now that it had turned to this point, one by one they started to fall in a state of subconsciousness, having started to feel enlightenment within.
Long Chen and Shi Feng were tired as heck, so much so that if they stopped, they might not wake up for days if not treated in time. However, to not let the feeling pass away and with the conscious will to awaken their Saber and Sword Will respectively, they constantly rushed forward. Shi Feng used sword attacks trying to cut through Long Chen, while Long Chen tried to slash apart Shi Feng. The battle continued until all five of their comrades woke up from their state of enlightenment and saw the two fighting, covered in blood. This sight tensed the atmosphere. Their weapons were completely shining white, and the five onlookers fell into a state of shock and admiration. The sparring, which had started at the rising of the sun in the morning, had continued and was still ongoing till the setting of the sun in the evening.
Having reached that state, both of them stopped, looking at each other with fierce smiles on their faces and hearts content with the battle. The thrilling feeling of being able to awaken and get acquainted with their Weapon Wills filled them with pride. They both yelled loudly, causing Qi to flow fiercely within them. The acupoint seal was released, allowing them to use Qi. In an instant, both of them stood in front of each other, Long Chen slashing his saber downward and Shi Feng slashing his sword vertically. The moment the blades of both weapons came into contact with each other, a fierce wind and energy release took place, the ground beneath them disfiguring from little cracks to completely shattering, creating a circle of about 100 meters in diameter.
The sheer power of their final clash was a testament to the growth they had achieved through their relentless training. As the dust settled and the energy dissipated, Long Chen and Shi Feng stood amidst the wreckage, their weapons glowing brightly. The bond between them, forged in the crucible of battle, had never been stronger. They had pushed each other to new heights, and the journey to mastery was now clearer than ever.
Others come in rushing, cheering them and giving the Recovery Pills. Both the friends' take off the weights on their body and start to recovery pill and surprisingly as soon as Long Chen and Shi Feng start to circulate Qi, energy (Qi) from surrounding starts to rush in their body and Shi Feng's own Qi around him starts to condense more and more concenrated and purer after half an hour gush of wind started to get released in the surrounding and as everything calmned down Shi Feng finally opened his eyes, his body stronger and more fairer than before and the essence of power felt from him got more and more visible.
Along that Long Chen also breaksthrough the 9th Heaventhstage of Qi Condensing Realm and his intensity of nergy realm and prowess equivalent to Shi Feng's.
As everyone was in silence of admiration, shock and wonder Long Chne broke the silenece by congratulating Shi Feng, "Brother Shi, excellent. You have reached the Blood Condensation Realm. Now only the old fogeys of the empire can fight on par with you at the Muscle Transformation Realm." after which all other started to congratulate Shi Feng for his breakthrough making him shy. That night they all partied together while still concealing their relam like they have been sunce months to prevent any problem to arise.
Also Long Chen having awakened Saber Will means he also had touched the surface of Saber Intent and just a few steos away from touching the actual Saber Dao. But still with Saber Will having been awakened meant that Long Chen was now capable enough to learn and use 'that' techniqie from the Imperial Library.
Other than that having refined hundreds of pills on daily basis for the past 8 months an with current breakthrough, Long Chen's Spiritual Root also got stronger with his Spiritual Strength breaking through to be more stronger as equivalent to a Pill Master and purer than before i.e. equivalent to Pill King with which Long Chen finally reached the stage of being able to refine Tier-2 pills with shocking purity of 80% i.e. the medicinal power being retained within the Pill is 80% which can already be considered a genius among Pill Refiners.
