Xiao Lin spends his time training his body, even if the knowledge is obtained. To use the sword skill to a great extent, one should have some training.
Xiao Lin can win a small battle. But a large number of enemies will tire him. He can't win a war will only knowledge. Practicing a sword to break the limits of the body is a good training his body compared to the normal exercise.
Xiao Lin planned to crumble all the foundation of the Meng, later it will be easier for him to face the enemy. While also training his body until he reaches the final destination of his journey, the imperial family of Meng.
Xiao Lin now moving towards the assassin sect under the imperial family. Which is the second enemy of his. They stabbed his wife under the order of the Emperor. So, emperors' hands in sin should be cut first to avoid them from escaping their revenge.
Xiao Lin knows his Xiao family in the capital will stand against him supporting the imperial family. But my only family is his wife. Even if his father stood against him, then he is Xiao Lin's enemy. No mercy for anyone who stands in his way of revenge for his beloved wife.
As a young master of the Xiao family, his rebellious activity will force the Xiao family to act against him without mercy to prove their loyalty to the imperial family.
As the son hated by his father, the chance of Xiao Lin learning the sword technique of the Xiao family is very less. Xiao is almost like an unwanted waste for the Xiao family. Even the sword technique of the Xiao family will be hard to stand against the 'Revive to kill'.
Swordsmanship is known for its difficulty to learn compared to other techniques. Even the fire sect and some other sects use swords as a weapon for techniques. So, learning sword techniques is a common thing. But learning sword as the main technique is very different.
As the patriarch of the Xiao family will be the opponent for Xiao Lin. But not able to defeat the Xiao Lin.
As the sword technique, he got after sign-in the place I killed the second batch of the assassins is called 'Revive to kill'. Which is a technique that explains the art of killing our enemies. Experience of 1000 years helps him understand sword but techniques are needed to use the 1000 years experience.
While the sword did not need technique if you above all. But for a newbie like Xiao Lin, it is very necessary.
"Revive to kill" is perfect for someone who needs revenge using a sword.
Xiao was planning to slaughter the entire assassin's sect with the sword technique of "Revive to kill." But it will be hard. But hardship will earn him real experience in a fight.
Xiao took a bottle of medicine he got in a sign-in after he attained the sword technique. Which helped him in cleaning the impurities in the body.
Drinking it along with the sword practice helped him remove more than usual. As farming involved working muscles it formed the base for Xiao Lin.
Xiao verified that there were no people nearby, and took a black cloth in his backpack.
At the midnight, you can Xiao Lin covered his eyes with black cloth to train his mind and to avoid dependence on his eyes. In a fight, it is possible to lose an eye. As swords have no eye.
Xiao directly ran inside the forest with high agility to his limit. Xiao avoided the trees, roots, etc with the sense he obtained with the 1000 year's experience. Which greatly reduced his speed. But Xiao started getting used to it, and his speed inside the forest started to increase.
Xiao continued his training until he found to have unleashed his full potential.
Xiao also started to train later after he got used to his sense. With that, he ran straight while destroying anything which came in his way with his sword. The night was the most disturbing night for the animals and they moved away from Xiao Lin.
When Xiao completed his training, he finally took the black cloth covering his eyes.
Xiao only can see the destruction caused by his sword training in the surrounding of the forest. But there was no fluctuation in Xiao's mood. As he thought of this as normal.
Xiao knows that if he continued with hard training for months, he can break his limit in understanding the sword technique.
When he opened his eyes, he was looked satisfied.
If this continues Xiao is afraid to attract the unwanted attention of nearby sects. So, he moved towards another place so remote for him to train without the intervention of the humans.
After taking his backpack, Xiao Lin walked towards his destination. A small smile of hatred can be seen in the face of Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin restrained his aura to avoid disturbing the peaceful forest.
As martial arts practice should be very essential for breaking the limits of the body. Xiao Lin decided to have somebody training to avoid relying on the sword completely in the future.
Xiao Lin knows many innocents will die in his sword while opposing his revenge. But he will also be careful to not cause unnecessary troubles for himself like this destruction of the forest. That may attract the attention of some sects in the nearby region.
After an hour.
A female disciple and another two male disciples came to the place Xiao practiced his sword. They were surprised to see the destruction caused by Xiao Lin's sword technique. Because everything in the surrounding looked like a powder. Even the trees are turned into powder due to the Revive to kill and return to dust technique Xiao practiced.
The sword aura left by the Xiao made them sweet of fear and they retreated towards their sect after resting for a day. The senior disciple immediately retreated with his junior who is losing consciousness due to pressure. If they have spent one more second in the place, they may have got killed by the aura left by Xiao Lin.
Junior female disciple – What happened there? There is nothing but dust.
Senior male disciple – You should never enter that area. It will be a restricted area from now. I don't know which sword practitioner left this sword aura. But it is deadly for us. You guys could have died there if I was slow for a second in retreating from that area.
Junior male disciple – Why is the practitioner that strong?
Senior female disciple – He is stronger than anyone I have seen until now. Including our sect master. The sword practitioner is like a monster and his sword aura is like a grandmaster. It will kill anyone who will come into contact with it. I don't think this matter is simple, we should warn our sect master about this matter as fast as we could.
Three of them started moving towards their sect. While the junior asked a question.
Junior female disciple – Senior we practice fire arts can't we injure him from distance?
Senior male disciple – It may work against the juniors but not against a professional practitioner mostly the sword arts. Even in our sect techniques, there are some of the sword skills are included to avoid the weakness in our fire controlling techniques. So never play against a swordmaster with your skills. But when you see that monster just run without thinking. You can't even defend against him. Death will be inevitable for us. I don't which sect this person came from. Here, only the Xiao family and its branch sects are the only sword practitioner. But this kind of technique is never heard of in my life time and it is not of the Xiao family. We should ask about that. Also, do say anything about what happened to anyone. This may offend the grandmaster responsible for that destruction.
While the person responsible for all of this moving towards the center of the forest. Xiao reached the center plain after one hour of walking and running.
Xiao Lin never had sweat coming out of his skin. Lin's sword skills are being sharpened every second by the continuous training.
…..
Time flies.
Xiao Lin is sharpening his sword skill for six months, while also got some new skills from the sign-in system. But most of them are regarding the vegetation and habitat of the forest. Which helped Xiao Lin while he was staying for sword practice.
In the past five months, he maintained his cleanness to follow the promise for his late wife. He didn't show the sorrow of loss but only hatred in his eyes.
Today is the day he starts implementing his revenge. Before that, he needs information regarding the location of the assassin's sect and their strength.
Xiao Lin didn't want to go to them without any backup plan. After leaving the forest he moved along the main road towards the capital.
Seeing an inn, he went inside to have some dinner. As he hasn't had normal food for 6 months. The inn was busy and when Xiao Lin sat in a chair, the waiter came to ask his need.
Xiao Lin asked for a noodle with some meat and vegetables. Xiao Lin didn't have to worry about the money as he got a lot from the assassins. He had his dinner and went to the room he booked for a night. Xiao Lin went to sleep but he was woken up at midnight with tears. But his eyes turned red with hatred and anger remembering seeing his wife dying in pain in his dream.
Xiao Lin can watch the full moon until the sun rises from the horizon. Loneliness is a part of him now. Happiness was the memory of him now. With guilt towards his late wife Sakura, Xiao was filled with tears. The tears from his eye tell the story of a normal man who lost his happiness and his part of his soul.
