The Training continues...

A few days later, in the training field of the mansion of Jian. He was teaching the swordsmanship to Kaiser. Kaiser was diligently immersed in the session. He was already drenched in sweat as beads dropped from all over his face.

Kaiser was being taught about the way of the sword. The movements Jian instructed were simple at the same time complex.

Jian started with basic and then dived into the depth of swordsmanship. The simple movement now which Kaiser was performing involved less mobility but the sword seemed to gain weight as time progressed. Each swing had a particular flow and rhythm to it. The sword was cutting the air, producing a faint blue light around the sword.

Jian squinted his eyes, closing on Kaiser's hand.

After continuously studying magic, he learned all sorts of knowledge about it. Now he was using his mana to swing the sword.

Jian raised his hand, "Using mana to swing the sword. That can give you a lot more power to your swing but what are you going to do if you were to be drained of mana? "

And to ensure the swing is impactful, a large amount of mana will be required. If one uses their entire mana for a just single strike then the next counterattack will be their death.

The sword was not practiced by many as magic was the main source of their strength. Only a few capable individuals were able to practice swordsmanship and attain enlightenment in the sword.

Not everyone can practice with a sword, they should have talent. The sword has various stages in which proficiency increases as one reaches higher stages in the way of the sword. It can be said that if one attains higher insights into the sword, then one can be unparalleled with the sword, becoming one with the sword.

Kaiser learned all of this and he became even more enthusiastic about the sword. He continued his days developing his body and practicing with the sword.

A few months passed in the nick of time. This period of time, for Kaiser, made some quiet changes to his physical appearance and his mental state. These past years, he didn't leave the mansion and just practiced the sword.

His body was taken its course to fully adapt, after the transformation. His physical strength rose up to a new level.

His physique has undergone many changes. He had silver-white hair like the moon. He had become even more handsome.

Jian had sparred with him countless times. His progress increased rapidly whenever he fought with Jian.

For ages, magic was the only thing everyone was ever heard and was only taught, how to utilize the magic-using mana. To go further into the magic to explore it.

During those times, the people with the mana and talent in magic had progressed and reached unimaginable heights. The things they achieved had a great impact on their fellow people.

The mages were treated with the utmost respect and regarded as powerful beings.

As the mages were hailed everywhere, they were a few who envied them. Those were the ones with no mana within their bodies. Some people weren't able to use magic.

Then at that, they thought of an alternative, what if they can't use magic, they had different ways to become stronger. And then they started exploring other ways.

They came up with the sword and martial arts. This was the total outcome of various years of struggle. Because, after countless years of fighting, they were able to stand against the talented magicians.

It was not an easy feat for the people who used swords and martial arts for them to fight the mage. But in the end, their goal was achieved, that they were ways for those who can not use magic.

By the passing years, swordsmanship became a pinnacle of existence. Even magicians started using swords as they combined magic with swordsmanship. The way the sword, made people fearless. If one excelled in swordsmanship, they would be no one to stand against him. That was how fierce it was. But the amount of mana it consumed was a major drawback on its part. So the concept was abandoned and no one showed interest in swordsmanship.

Only a few individuals who believed in the path of the sword were able to reach the highest level of swordsmanship. They knew it was not the peak. Though the levels they reached till now were already quite formidable.

Jian was one of the existence who has reached a certain level of mastery of the sword. This was because he dedicated his entire life to the sword.

Kaiser in these past few years was taught by him. During the initial years, Kaiser followed Jian. At first, Jian wanted to teach him the same way how he learned the sword. But after seeing Kaiser's form, he only imparted the knowledge he knew about the sword. Because Kaiser's performance was very natural and it was like he had no flaws in what he was doing. Even though the just swung his sword vertically, it was elegant. Jian felt that Kaiser was a natural. This made Jian quite excited, to teach such a child who had such an incredible sword.

To become one with the sword, was how one who gain insights into swordsmanship.

Kaiser continued to train under Jian. As the days progressed, the kaiser wasn't able to advance. He followed the swordsmanship of Jian. It was like he was not compatible with it.

This has become a hassle, Kaiser who had inborn talent was not able to learn the sword skill of Jian.
