Rise Of The Martial Lord

CHAPTER 5 : Arduous Training

*The next day*

The huge manor next to the shi residence , inside a room deep in the manor

" finally I have broke through and entered the first of the foundation stage the Jing cultivating stage but such smell I have to go take a breathe "

In a big bathing tub a young looking male is seen and a slightly middle age woman standing next to him.

" old woman how many days did that girl lue Lin take to break through earlier than me "

Three weeks young lord but that is barely an estimation if she had a good guidance to follow she could have broke through a month ago , the middle age woman also known as healer bing replied ,

" her talent is exceptional indeed just like father had said but that is her weakness she knows nothing about the world and can be easily manipulated , it is not a young talented cub that you fear you fear the old matured lion for it might not have it young talent but it wisdom is to fear , now leave me be to enjoy my bathe " saying so the young man close his eyes .

well said young master ,i shall take my leave .

Outside the room a shadow appeared in front of the door as healer bing came out the soft expression on her face was gone replaced by a cold look and poisonous eyes , looking at the shadow what the latest news regarding the seven colored fruit also any suspicious activity.

The shadow answered in a neutral voice neither male nor female " nothing regarding to the seven colored fruit but some traces of the spirit mountain fox has been unearthened"

listening to the shadows report bing ting showed a hint of interest "ohh the spirit mountain fox guess we are closed to seven colored fruit trail then only such precious fruit can attract such a mysterious beast to show it trace , anything else how about the boy I told you to keep an eye on "

The shadow replied "suddenly he started running around the shi residence in circles what he is up to is unknown , apart from when he is outside I can't keep an eye on him in is courtyard the old man placed shi guards around his kid seems the incident has made him protective of his son "

bing ling looks at the dark shadow for a while before speaking

" this is good at least their attention should not be with us for the time being leave the boy alone for now continue searching for the seven colored fruit that is our only goal here"

The shadow nodded before disappearing .

Looking at the shadow receding figure healer bing stayed for a while before heading towards her room .

Meanwhile at Kang shi courtyard sounds of counting can be heard as a young boy wearing no top is seen doing pushups

" Twenty seven , twenty eight , twenty nine , thirty "

*huff huff huff *

A young woman in a servant outfit stretched out a towel towards the sweating young man "young master you are tired why don't you go rest for now you already ran ten times round the entire residence "

Kang shi breathing heavily looks at the maid standing in front of him , standing up he collects the towel before moving around in his courtyard in thought" according to other people experience you must train the body until you experience the feeling of flow , the feeling is described as ur body burning hot then secrets impurities that will be the first step into the foundation stage " seems like I have to continue the way of training of earth it is more effective till I experience this feeling of flow , saying so Kang shi starts another bout of running around shi residence for ten laps again.

Sunset in the village , at the shi residence in Kang shi courtyard , Kang shi is seen doing situps

" twenty three ,twenty four , twenty twenty "

falling to the floor completely exhausted Kang shi looks at the evening sunset in thought "this body is a little to weak or is my expectations to high anyways let continue later I have to know how to balance training and resting"

nii li looks at her young master in thought " young master looks quite nice when training though am curious what type of training is this I have never heard of it , it must be a secret training for the young master alone ..."

"nii li , nii li " Kang shi looks at his maid who is obviously in deep thought as him calling her had no effect , he walked over and tapped her shoulder. nii li woken up from reverie looked up and found her master looking at her , in shock stood up in a hurry before tripping falling towards her young master .

kang shi looking at the maid who tripped and is falling towards him moved away before holding her hand from behind and pulling her up "be careful, next time I won't catch you " looking at the maid who clumsily try to smoothen her clothes, Kang shi chuckles before walking away and saying

" prepare my bathe my body smells"

looking at the back of her young master nii li hurriedly reply "yes young master before rushing off with a red face .
