Chapter 7 : Momentous Gain

Everything has been weird recently. My love returning to me, a world with 7 moons and 3 suns, and people speaking mostly mandarin.

But that should be kept and thought through later. For now, I should keep watch of the entrance. After I defeated most of the men, Yuri or should I say her doppelganger, led us to this cave.

One thing that really irks me, is that I seem to have been de-aged. The only being who could do such a thing in my world could have only been No. 1, that old arrogant bastard.

Hmm* It seems that Yuri has awakened. Her majestic body was covered in scars. If only I had awakened earlier. Then they wouldn't have been able to touch even a hair on her body.

But let's try not to dwell on the past too much. First, I need to find a way for myself to communicate with her better. We can't continue writing on dirt or carving in rocks to communicate. Also, my spoken Mandarin is not so good. But one good thing is that I learn fast.

Secondly, I definitely need to regain my strength, my original power has been halved. My flames before were raging with a fury that caused irreparable damage, now became a small forest fire.

The only thing that remained powerful, was my black lightning power. That shall be kept as a trump card from now on.

Lastly, now that I'm 19 again, I need to rebuild my endurance and strength quickly. The backlash I felt from [Black Lightning] and [Black Thunder Chain] has left cars for me as well.

Yuri then would walk up to Anwyll and using her chi, carve into the stone {qiē huàn wèi zhì}. Anwyll with his basic knowledge of mandarin nods in agreement.

I regret not learning at my best when I had the chance to. I only learned the basics from an associate for a single mission years ago.

The next morning, I would come to with quite a scare. Yuri is on her knees flicking my little brother.

Ahtz!

I got up as quickly I could and grabbed her hand, and quickly carved {bú yào nà yàng zuò}. With that she would retreat back, blushing.

I guess this Yuri is still pure. Even though I am mentally in my thirties, now I have the body of a 19-year-old. I guess my morning woods of course returned too.

Not wanting to stay in the awkward atmosphere, Yuri stood up and left the cave leaving me alone. But something caught my eyes. Something Yuri left behind, two books wrapped in blood-stained cloth.

When I took a closer look, the cover read { tiān mó zhī shén shā jiàn shù}. When I reread it again it came to be " Heavenly Demon's God Slaying Swordsmanship".

This reminded me of the Chinese heroes and villains, and their outlandish naming sense. And how it rubbed off on me, due to a certain someone.

Flipping through the book, a drawn figure outlines the stances of the swordsmanship. I was pleasantly surprised.

But after 25 attempts of the first form failed, I gave up. The first form called for me to perform 65 moves. Each of them varied in motion and sword strikes.

The equipment also made my life harder, because I'm used to a katana, not this other world's Dao sword.

Whilst I was in the midst of the first form of the God Slaying technique, Yuri walked in and pulled out one massive bear, covered in many wounds.

When she saw that I holding onto her book, She dropped everything and snatched it from my grasp.

" How much did you learn?" Glaring at me

" Tell me now!"
