After finding the cave, Sheng Tian's training started. Xiao Lian came out and she decided to teach him the cultivation techniques or otherwise called profound arts.
Xiao Lian almost began her lecture but as she wanted to be "in" the role of a teacher, she didn't forget to use the illusion magic again.
The Scene was changed, the place was now a classroom, the one which you attended in high school. The class had 40 pairs of chair and desks.
There was even a door which was closed currently and looking out of a window, one can see the road on which cars and bikes are moving continuously and the height level is very below the level of the classroom making one instantly realize that the classroom is at least in the third floor or higher.
Currently, Sheng Tian was sitting in the first row directly facing the teacher's desk. But he showed no intentions to listen, In front of him was Xiao Lian who changed into formal attire. She was wearing a pink jacket over a White sleeved shirt with a black office skirt and black stockings with high heels, leaving only the area of a small part of her thighs to be exposed, but it was much more appealing that way.
'What is this girl trying to do? Is she going to teaching me profound arts or the forbidden fruits on how to *gulp*' thinking till there Sheng Tian gulped audibly. He was not to be blamed since he was not a gentleman and the opposite party's attire is nothing but tempting to him.
Xiao Lian looked at him swallowing his saliva and looking at her with a heated gaze, she asked him embarrassingly and angrily, " What the hell is wrong with you? Even if there is nothing to see, you are looking like that. Lecher. I am your teacher. You shouldn't do this.'
'Damn, did she see any of those, she is telling the same lines or is it unintentional.' Sheng Tian didn't back down and looked at her from top to bottom again and again, only after the 5th time did he stop, and said with a perverted smile " Thanks for the treat. Tell me, are you trying to seduce me with that attire or are you wearing it casually?'
Sheng Tian was prepared to have the taste of the forbidden fruit with her and enter the Abyss of Pleasure. Sheng Tian decided to sacrifice his chastity for her. If he didn't enter the hell for her, who will? Since she is so desperate to try seducing him, He should be the man and take the lead, He should not let the girl embarrass herself too much. Thinking till there, Sheng Tian mind was filled with the sense of righteousness and justice. He was about to get up but was stopped by a shout.
She looked at him with a red face and said angrily " Idiot, Who wants to seduce you? Go seduce yourself! It was formal wear that my Teacher wore when I was in school, such a perverted bastard. You better not have any thoughts and listen to me carefully." The more she lectured the fiercer her tone became.
Sheng Tian shook his head and felt that it was a pity.
Xiao Lian paid no heed to the pervert's thoughts and started her lecture after formally coughing twice "The profound arts known commonly are classified into Offense Profound Arts, Defensive Profound Arts, Moment Arts. There are also those that do not belong to these called Supportive Profound Arts. You will know what they mean right from their name.
Profound Energy is used in an effective way with Profound Arts, Similar to how a martial arts practitioner can use their body to attack better than a commoner.
When two practitioners with similar cultivation and treasures fight, Profound Arts play an important role in deciding the victor. So, Profound Arts is in sense a way to control and use your strength in the most effective way."
" This is what most people know about Profound Arts, and it is not false. But there is more to it. Before that, I have to tell you that this world is very large. The Earth is incomparable to this Mortal Word itself, much less the Worlds above. I will just tell you that there are some arts which are not profound arts but are on par with them. But they are very few in comparison to profound arts."
Sheng Tian, as an active Xianxia reader, had an easy time understanding these things.
"Alright, I will teach you, A moment art first. This is called Star Shadow steps" In the next second, the classroom was transformed back. Showing the large, spacious cave they were originally in.
After a second, Xiao Lian was standing at some distance away from him. And she told him to observe carefully. There was a sudden flash of light at where she stood and she was now standing next to him.
'That was quite fast.' he thought. Xiao Lian smiled with a smug look and said " See, This is it. Don't praise me, hehe."
Sheng Tian was speechless. It seemed like staying with him has affected her and even she started bragging. Well, who asked him to be so influential? he shook his head, he controlled his charm and only a little of it leaked out but it still caused this. Who told him to have so much charm?
( Author's Note: Yeah, right.)
Xiao Lian pointed her finger and a stream of light passed to his mind. He received the Moment Art. He started practicing it.
According to Xiao Lian, Sheng Tian's comprehension level is simply inhumane. Sheng Tian guessed that this might be due to his special soul.
The speed of his moment directly depended on his cultivation and comprehension. Sheng Tian's training thus went on.
Next was Offensive Arts, Xiao Lian didn't practice the arts she gave him. So he had figure out himself and she would also try to help with his doubts from time to time as he is still new to these kinds of things, thus lacking the "general knowledge".
He received an Offensive art where the user fights barehanded, the art was called " Destruction Fist". It specializes in the fist attacks even though it showed how to attack with the whole body.
The Sword Art was called Sword Art Online, just kidding, It is called " Dark Sword Moves".
The defensive profound art was " Mountain Shield". Sheng Tian days became practically monotonous, getting up early due to a pestering girl, hunting beasts for combat experience and familiarising himself with profound arts and practicing them and Working on Cultivation.
Xiao Lian started decreasing her help over time allowing him to grow more independent. Sheng Tian too didn't want to depend on others if he could do it himself. As time passed, Sheng Tian's cultivation, profound arts, battle instincts, and experiences increased dramatically.
Time flew forward waiting for none, 1 month passed.
In a region filled with tall trees, streams, Xuan beasts, caves, flowers, grass and mountains. With the gentle wind, the trees shook right and left. The birds chirped from time to time. Their melody made one hear the sweetness of nature's beauty. The flowers which are grown without a gardener seemed to be made pleasing for the eye. Filling the air with their fragrances making one intoxicated. Clear Water Streams with the little golden fishes inside them looked calm yet relaxing making one want to float on the soft water using it as a bed and have a peaceful sleep escaping from the problems in the mundane world.
The sky blue, the grass green with the colorful flowers and the streams reflecting the sky was truly a wonder of nature.
A serene, beautiful scene was present as if the landscape was cut out of the painting. But the flying birds and the swimming fishes made one realize that it is in real life.
On a mountain top, A shirtless youth is practicing sword moves. Every time his sword moves, a boulder nearby turns into pieces. Sheng Tian, after a month of training, has developed shocking battle instincts. It takes years, but due to his perception and soul, Sheng Tian turned into what people call an experienced fighter. Of course, he didn't fight with humans yet.
What was shocking was that he mastered the first move of the Dark Sword Moves, "Dark wind Slash" along with good proficiency in destruction fist, star shadow steps, and mountain Shield.
He also learned disguise art and asked Xiao Lian to train him in "Lying", but was rejected straightly saying that he was already at the apex and should consider taking her as his disciple. Sheng Tian shook his head and practiced it seriously than other arts. He would hunt the beasts for a feast but there was always someone eating more than him like a hungry ghost.
Sheng Tian's cultivation rose to the peak of the Qi condensation realm from 2nd level of Qi condensation realm. This speed is outrageous for the cultivation world, even in the sects and the royal capital.
Xiao Lian was sitting on a rock nearby, occasionally stretching her body, eating something now and then and looking at the man practicing. She seemed to enjoy herself and looked like she was on a holiday trip.
Sheng Tian stopped practicing and walked back, snatched the roasted meat beside her and took some quick bites while sitting beside her.
He once asked her how could she ate as a soul, she replied that she wanted to, so she will. And he was shocked by her appetite. When he asked her how her small tummy can take so much food and fit without any problems, and how is she still slim and did not turn into a fat pig yet, She pinched him very hard and gave him a glare. Sheng Tian became a good boy and didn't bring up that topic again.
"Xiao Lian, I will be on a holiday break," said Sheng Tian
"Why do you want a break. Cultivation is lonely, you should work hard, this is merely a tip of the iceberg."
"These cliche lines again. I say, Xiao Lian, Can you please remember that this Elder Brother read too much of those lines on Earth that I was almost bored to death. Now, you are saying that again. Let us take a break. I will treat you to a meal if you are a good girl, ok?" He said.
Xiao Lian got ready to pinch him on the waist when he hastily changed the topic cleverly " Right, When should I enter the inner areas and search for the treasure? I have a feeling that it will be very useful if found."
" It is not time yet. Your Strength is not sufficient and you cannot completely depend on me. If I use profound Energy continuously, I might not be able to bear the outcome And you can also treat this as your first adventure and treasure hunting." Xiao Lian said calmly.
"Ok, let us go. I want to travel the world and have fun. But, aah, Strength. How good it would be if you could use your strength perfectly."
"What? You are blaming me when you still have me as your bodyguard. If I can use my strength properly, I wouldn't have asked to come with you. Greedy fellow."
"Fine Fine, you are the angel to protect me. Let us go. I want to have a proper meal and sleep well. Next time, We should bring cooking ingredients, a bed and....."
"Are you planning to cultivate or live a luxury life?"
"Why do people even cultivate for if they can't live the life they want? I want strength more than anything else to have my life in my hands but I cherish my life, so I won't treat myself roughly. Let's go." he said casually but there was an unmovable belief under the statement.
Xiao Lian was thinking of the words he said and they were like thunder resounding in her ears. She thought it again and again And felt that she should not live for cultivation, cultivation is for the betterment of life.
She needs to be herself and true to her heart. If all she thinks about is revenge while suppressing her other emotions and stopping herself from living the cheerful life she wanted to live, then what is the purpose of her cultivation.
Xiao Lian was always trying to live a new life after meeting with Sheng Tian but her past still took up a huge part of her heart. So, even if she chatted and joked with him, there was always a sense of boundary preventing her from going to this world and her new life.
At this moment, she felt like the barrier has been pierced and herself stepping into this world as new. From this moment on, She can live life to fullest. No Regrets.
Xiao Lian smiled as she returned to him breathing the air of freedom.
