Tainted will

Chapter 8 Primeval Sword Art

"Bai Ming" The academy elder read aloud from the name list.

Bai Ming went up the stage and collected his allowance. The academy elder praised him loudly

"Well done, you have already broken through the sixth layer." Next he placed his attention towards the youths below, he spoke "All of you should learn from Bai Ming. He is only a mid grade talent yet look at his cultivation progress. If you work hard like him you will also have great success."

The youths gasped in astonishment.

"what!? he has already broken through the sixth layer!?" one of youths expressed his shock

"Is he really a mid grade talent??" someone else spoke. Actually many of them were secretly doubtfully.

"Damn it! How can it be like this!? How did he surpass me again! shit!!." Bei ju's face was extremely unsightly, his palms were tightly clenched. In his heart he subconsciously felt a burst of pressure coming from Bai Ming.

Su Ming gave Bai Ming a deep look, he had already seen through Bai Ming's cultivation base. After interacting with the clan head a couple of times his mentality started to change, he was growing both physically and mentally. He was no longer the weak minded youth from before.

These youths were not able to determine Bai Ming's cultivation because they had lower cultivation base than Bai Ming. Only if he purposely displayed his aura would they be able determine his cultivation. But if he restrained his aura only those who have same level or higher cultivation base would be able to make out.

The allowance distribution lasted for another 10 minutes before coming to an end.

At this time the elder spoke "You all have been in the academy for an amount of time, and your all familiar on how to circulate qi within your body now and have been engaging in combat training daily. The next step in your cultivation journey is to learn marital techniques. As you all know martial techniques have various aspects such as movement, attack, support and so on. I have already divided you into four groups randomly, each group will get the chance to enter the academy's martial arts scripture hall for six hours once every four days alternatively. Use this opportunity wisely. You must all remember, Cultivation is the road and techniques are the tools which show us the direction on this vast road. One more thing whoever comprehends and executes any martial technique first will be rewarded with 30 spirit stones, do you understand?"

"Yes" the youths replied loudly. They couldn't help themselves from being excited when they heard about the reward.

But just a few breaths later one of the students raised his hand while speaking in an inquiring tone

"Sir elder, won't it be unfair for the group which enters the martial scripture hall later. They will have less time compared to the first group."

The elder heard this and laughed lightly before he answered with a question of his own "Child do you think life is fair? "

The youth heard this and showed an expression of hesitation. The elder gazed at the youths in front and spoke "Life isn't fair, we just have to make the best out of what we are given. Haven't you already experienced this by now."

When these words entered their ears the group youths below feel into deep thought. They felt these words were very true, resonating deep in their hearts. During the very beginning of their journey they had already experienced this.

Bai Ming who had an expressionless face silently thought " just have to make the best out of what we are given.. hehe, if life isn't fair we just have to make it fair By taking everything from it. Making life growl at our feet." if someone heard his words they would just scoff at him for his arrogance and stupidity.

20 minutes later.

"Luckily the elder placed me in the first group." Bai Ming thought as he entered the martial scripture hall.

The martial scripture hall was guarded by two peak elemental realm veterans outside. The scripture hall was 120meter square in size.

There weren't many things expect for a four meter long stone tablet which was located in the middle of the hall. On the huge stone tablet there were many drawings and words carved. On both sides of the stone tablet were small wooden shelves. On each of the shelves nearly 12-13 books were placed.

"There are only low grade martial techniques here. I have already decided to study the clans signature sword art first, The primeval sword art it was created by the first generation clan head. It has a total of five layers, the first two layers fall in the low grade section while the third and fourth layers are mid grade as for the final layer it is the only high grade martial technique in our clan. Our clans logo also stems from this sword art. The Ye clansmen mostly cultivate the sword path. I should also do the same, for now I should focus on comprehending first two sections of the sword art." thoughts flashed in Bai Ming's mind, he glanced at the huge stone tablet. The primeval sword art was most popular technique in the clan so most of the clansmen would choose this art. Unlike the other the techniques this technique was carved on the huge stone tablet. Of couse only the first two layers were present here. Most of youths were already sitting in front of the stone tablet and were trying to comprehend it.

"But before that i will just roughly go through these techniques." Bai Ming then browsed through all these books quickly turning the pages and then putting them back into the shelf.

"Hurricane blade, Transform the air itself into a weapon and launch multiple wind blades, but it's power is quite lacking."

"Rampaging steps, it has good bust of speed but it is very rigid, there is no flexibility."

"Drifting steps, this has decent speed but it's Flexibility is remarkable."

After few minutes Bai Ming had already gone through all the books.

"Okay it's decided, once I finish comprehending primeval sword art I shall put my focus on drifting steps and tyrant fist." Once Bai Ming made his decision he took a seat near the huge stone tablet and began comprehending it.

The process of learning a martial technique had two steps, one is to understand it and the second was to execute it. It must be known that martial techniques become more and more difficult to train in if grade is higher.

Time flew by quickly, Soon there was only two minutes left for six hours time limit to finish.

Bai Ming opened his eyes slowly, a glint of light flashed past his eyes. He was dazed for a second but he quickly recovered.

" I actually managed to comprehend the first layer of the primeval sword art." Bai Ming thoughts continued to collide.

"It is a little wierd, even if it is only a low grade art and I have good comprehension capabilities, I should have taken a bit more time. Maybe I have affinity for the sword path? thats probably it." he thought.

Bai Ming suddenly heard a loud voice coming from the outside "Time is up, everyone come out now" hearing this the youths began to leave the scripture hall. Bai Ming also started to move out, he took one last glace at stone tablet he felt a bit of reluctance.

After leaving the hall Bai Ming didn't loiter around, he quickly ran home and began to practice the sword art. He was determined to get the first prize this time.

....

Five hours later in Bai family house courtyard.

Swoosh! swoosh! swoosh!

Bai Ming had been uninterruptedly practicing the sword skill over and over again. Uninterrupted practice was the only way to increase his strength. Persistently repeating the movements required a tenacious will and determination.

"Done, Now it's time to see it's power" as he spoke he moved toward a stone pillar. He was just a few steps away from it, Next Bai Ming held the sword tightly with both of his arms at his waist level pointing at the pillar. Wrapped around his sword was a faint green light shining in the darkness of the night.

With a swoosh sound the sword moved like a ferocious snake. It was extremely fast like lightning as it directly pierced the stone. Bai Ming withdrew his sword back, he then carefully observed the stone. There was 30 inch narrow hole in the stone pillar. On his face was a resplendent smile.

" I have completely masterd the first layer, using the first layer of primeval sword art I am able display 7500jin strength."

Bone forging realm is separated into nine layers. With every increase of one layer, the strength is increased by a thousand jin. Right now, Bai Ming is in the sixth layer and possesses the strength of 6000jin. And if he uses the martial technique "Primeval sword art" which he has trained till mastery, he would be able to send out a force of 7500jin.

"Now I should go and collect my reward."
