Learning #3

"Can you explain what the war was about?" asked Ao Nan, adding.

"No no, I'm sorry, but I don't know much about it, each history is long and enigmatic, for example for us outsiders, it's common that we know about the background of the 5th world war, but the 4th, 3rd, 2nd, even the first, we all know even less about it, if you want I can explain a little about the few things I know."

Ao Nan nodded in reply.

"Hmm...The 5th world war was a war where two interests clashed, the war occurred not far after the 4th world war was over, at that time, the 3 empires that merged into one became very large and uncontrollable called the oriental continent, broadly speaking there were many groups that split and prioritized the interests of their groups, through various eliminations and events behind it, two major groups were born, Due to frequent infiltration and terror between these two camps, they both ended up fighting a war, if you think they fought using only spears and bows like I used, no, the world war was a terrible war, there were various techniques, artifacts, and Zhu tattoos used in it," after Wang Jun mentioned Zhu tattoos, Uncle Ao Qi was immediately confused.

"Zhu tattoo? So it can be used by humans?" he asked.

"Of course it can, but there is a big cost to pay, wait... Has uncle ever met one of them?"

"Right, Jin Fei must know the condition of one of our family right, uncle Cang Wuan" Jin Fei said, "That's right, they had an incident where one of the bears they met had a Zhu tattoo on his body, his body got bigger and stronger and even his fur fell out" he said.

"That's right, like the one on the bear that uncle mentioned is a Zhu 'Pathway Strength' tattoo, usually wild animals get it because they have been staying in a place for a long time, it takes sacrifice to get it, it also costs a lot to use, so because of that, Zhu tattoos are almost never used or seen."

Uncle Ao Qi felt like a child again when being taught again about basic knowledge, as well as Ao Nan and Wu Liang, they even felt like babies being taught how to walk.

"Is there anything else to ask or do you want to continue discussing the war?"

Wu Liang immediately said, "Why do humans fight wars? Aren't they just angering the Great Dao of Human?"

"Good question, why doesn't the Great Dao of Human get angry? Actually if you read the whole book maybe you will find the answer, I have the book do you want to borrow it?"

"No need, thank you" Wu Liang replied.

Wu Liang's answer made Wang Jun even more wary, "what is this?, a person who is enthusiastic in knowing new things and such but refuses a book? Doesn't he know the value?", Wang Jun thought.

Wu Liang paused for a moment and then looked back at Wang Jun who was explaining the details of the 5th world war, "So basically after the 5th world war, the human leaders who were high rank 4, they made a truce which eventually continued to turn into a peace with equal division of territories and also a fair and just agreement, That was the end of the 5th world war, for the 4th world war what I know is that in the end the 3 largest empires at that time were completely destroyed, according to the records I read, mostly because there was an evil plan behind it and some ethnic and tribal hegemony agendas, superior ethnic and tribal groups wanted minority ethnic and tribal groups to be part of it, Some say that the superior ethnicity and tribe wanted to make their ethnicity and tribe bigger by swallowing other ethnicities and tribes, there were rebellions, massacres, betrayals, that's most of the background of the war, but the third war was the most devastating human war I can say, That war involved the full power of the 3 empires to shake heaven and earth and the cultivation order, from the records I read at least at that time there were hundreds of rank 6 and dozens of rank 7, if you don't understand you can imagine that rank 6 can destroy your mountain without effort, while rank 7 can destroy dozens or even hundreds of your mountains easily in just one move, yes... Indeed, because of the third world war, there was a catastrophe and heavenly punishment in the form of misery and epidemics, because of that, the path to rank 6 and 7 is getting more and more difficult as if the heavens oppose the path of human cultivation, it seems that this will get longer, I will just teach you how to defend with a sword" said Wang Jun.

He then performed the 'Hand seal monkey' technique again and this time 3 fake iron swords came out of him but this time they appeared faster.

Wang Jun asked the three of them to stand up and take a position ready to practice, and after that Wang Jun demonstrated the moves he knew, "in the outside world we also learn martial arts and master techniques based on 'Shio', which are twelve praiseworthy animals, it is from them that the martial arts predecessors created their techniques and the one I learned and will teach you is 'rooster agility' this is useful so that you can move from one place to another nearby or can dodge quickly in a short range, although it sounds trivial but it is very useful".

After that Wang Jun performed his movements, the muscles in his calves slightly expanded indicating the flow of his Qi fully penetrated there, with the support of Qi he could give more strength effect to his legs, right to left quickly stepping in a zig zag manner, then spinning in place in a position like avoiding a spear thrust or a sword swing, his movements were very natural and very agile, really like dodging from real objects.

The three of them were speechless, this was an important and crucial lesson, Wang Jun's movements were clearly recorded in each of their heads.

Unknowingly, the five of them were being watched by Uncle Jin Hao and Uncle Cang Wuan who were taking care of the farm.

"Hehehe, my son is good, isn't he, Cang Wuan?" Uncle Cang Wuan just nodded in response while squeezing and removing raw milk from the cow, while Uncle Jin Hao just turned his head silently towards Cang Wuan and was a bit annoyed that he ignored him, then returned his attention to the five people under the big humpback tree who were studying and practicing.

After Wang Jun demonstrated his moves he invited the three of them to move along with him, since Jin Fei offered himself he ended up going too, Jin Fei was a mid rank 1 cultivator with a fighting style of 'Shio' buffalo that relied on physical strength, simply put he was a beginner in 'Pathway Strength'.

The four of them followed Wang Jun's agile movements, of course Jin Fei would not have too much trouble, it's just that because he is still mid rank 1 and focuses more on physical strength, he cannot be as agile as Wang Jun, his muscles that look ordinary immediately expand a little and accentuate his veins a little.

But unlike uncle Ao Qi, Ao Nan and Wu Liang, their rare legs were stiff and unaccustomed, how could he do Zig Zag movements quickly without the help of Qi energy from within his body, several times they slipped to the side because their soles were unstable, although it looked and sounded ridiculous but they still continued.

One try, two tries, several times later, Wu Liang managed not to fall to the 6th step, but finally slipped on the 7th step because his feet were tucked by the grass, yes... the reason the three of them slipped was because of the grass and their own feet.

As time went on, it was finally noon.

The three of them felt very tired and could no longer continue, uncle Ao Qi sat leaning on his hands while adjusting his breathing to be better, Ao Nan and Wu Liang leaned against a tree that was only less than 10 steps away from uncle Ao Qi.

"How is it? Is it hard?" Jin Fei stretches his leg muscles again, he is a mid rank 1 Cultivator, obviously he is very resistant to this lathan session, but he can't hold on any longer because he is still a mid rank 1, if he was a high rank 1 then he could have held on and his breathing remained stable, but unfortunately now he is also adjusting his breathing to feel better.

Wang Jun swept his gaze over the four of them, then he swept his gaze over the entire grassland in this Wu tribe village.

Jin Fei looked at his friend who seemed to be enjoying the surrounding nature, "How is it?", Wang Jun just turned to his and fell silent.

Ao Nan and Wu Liang just chuckled in their places while panting from the rigors of their training, Wu Liang suddenly threw up and spit out everything he could on his left side while Ao Nan sat on his right side.

Ao Nan did not feel disgusted, instead he laughed at Wu Liang, then said, "hahaha you should vomit more often while practicing, I used to vomit more often than you hahaha", uncle Ao aqi just closed his eyes and enjoyed this atmosphere with wisdom and happiness, when else could he practice together like this.

Suddenly Ao Qi's uncle gasped, "I'm sorry Ao Nan's father, it's past noon now, I have to go see Ming Qi's grandfather", hearing his father, Ao Nan's smile stopped and just said yes to his father.

Wang Jun is still gazing at the surrounding scenery after seeing Uncle Ao Qi hurrying back to the village, then looks up and sees the snow-capped peaks of the Wu tribe's mountain with several dark green mountains behind it.

Meanwhile, Jin Fei himself just lay down on the grassland and surrendered himself to the refreshing wind.

After Ao Nan felt better he tried to pat Wu Liang on the back, helping him to remove the remaining stuck from his digestive tract, "okay already, oh yeah, big brother Wang Jun, why do you want to teach us all this?".

Wang Jun with his flat tone, "So that you don't die easily."
