NOVEL WEB Chapter 12: Feeling free
WHOOSH!!!
BOOM!!!
Explosive sounds rang out consecutively,trees and rocks exploded as star energy smashed into them.
Tian yi was training non stop,seeking to fully learn how to channel his new found strength.
Right now his attacks were forceful,but lacked concentration,causing the effective energy used in destruction to be little,the rest were scattered into his surroundings.
"Ughhhh,my power lacks precision,causing me to use up more energy than usual,I need to learn precision,so I can fully maximize my attack power",looking down he muttered in a frustrated tone.
….
Huh???
Feeling a familiar presence,tian yi turned around hurriedly….
Floating in the middle of the forest rubble,was a middle aged white haired man,
A wide smile hung on his lips—uncle tian had finally arrived after a year!!
"Uncle tian!!!!",tian yi cried out,feeling overwhelmed with emotions,he leapt upwards toward his uncle tian and clutched his torso tightly,in a hug,his legs hanging loosely in the air.
"Hahahaha,my young master,did you miss this lowly one that much??—I feel honored",
"Of course I miss you uncle tian you stinky old man,you're the only one I can tell problems I encounter in cultivation to—you're my teacher uncle tian."
Uncle tian laughed,he felt moved every time he met his young master.
He always gave him surprises,surpassing every expectations he always had before he returned.
Tian yi gently sobbed in his arms…he was after all a sixteen year old boy,all that happened in the last month did get to him,but he couldn't say it out,not that he couldn't tell his parents,but they were not strong cultivators,only a cultivator could understand his plight and console him.
"That's okay,don't cry no more,you're my greatest young master,yeah??",he descended down,and then patted tian yi on his back.
Suddenly he sensed something
"Wait!!,what the fuck!!??,you…you…you're already at the fourth stage of star projection!!!????—howww!!!???"
Uncle tian's jaw was wide open,he looked comical…
He couldn't comprehend how,tian yi could reach the fifth stage in just a year.
If he knew that tian yi used just a month to grow from the first stage to the fifth stage he'd have died of disbelief there and then.
"Why are you crying then you brat!!!!,you made god-like progress and you're feeling sad???,how bout I make you sad now??",
He said in an mock outraged expression…
He flipped tian yi around and started whooping his ass,albeit with a force just enough to make him feel a sting on his butt.
"Drop me you stinking old man,don't touch me,ahhhhhh,it hurts"
"You dare call me stinky?,more ass Whooping for you then"
After a little time,tian yi finally gave in and pleaded.
"Please,please uncle tian,I won't call you stinky again"
"You could've done that since,humph!!!"
Uncle Tian let him down,then he adjusted his robes,reclaiming his serene and carefree attitude.
That little moment had just lifted the mood of both of them,tian yi's spirits were lifted.
"You must've suffered young master—tell me what happened this past year",said uncle tian as he rubbed tian yi's hair affectionately.
…..
They sat on a nearby rock and then tian yi proceeded to explain what transpired in the last year.
His training sessions,every single bit..
His battles..
Study sessions..
And most importantly the encounter he had a month ago with the quadruple fanged python.
"So you've fought that old python,eh?,I didn't think you guys would meet so soon… I guess its fate that you guys met the way you did",
"What do you mean uncle???,did you know of the quadruple fanged python??",
"I did "
"Did you know it was injured?",
"Yes I did"
Tian yi was confused,it seemed like uncle tian knew everything about the quadruple fanged python,but why did he keep it hidden?,was he the one who altered the records about there being a quadruple fanged viper??,many questions rang in his head.
Looking at his eyes that earnestly sought answers,uncle tian answered,
"You still haven't learned patience still my young master,revealing these things to you now wouldn't solve anything,when you become powerful enough,the answers will seek you out themselves",
Hearing uncle tian's chiding tone,tian yi felt his face burning,he bowed his head down ashamed to look up at him.
"I'm sorry uncle tian,I've disappointed you",he said.
"You can never disappoint me young master,I know you will eventually learn from your mistakes in due time",he propped tian yi's head up and ruffled his white hair…
"Lemme show you how great my cooking skills gave improved in the past year,help me kill a beast lemme prepare it for you"
"Hahahaha,okay— you should spoil me while I'm with you,maybe next time when I come back I would bring a gift for you from the outside world!!"
"Hey you stinky old man,you didn't even get me a gift,you're a stingy old man",tian yi said in disgust..
"You dare slander me,I'll beat your ass"
"catch me if you can old man,hahaha"…
Thier voices reverberated in the forest as they chased each other around playfully…
Hours later….
They sat under tian yi's familiar roast spot,eating roast flesh of a spotted wood element armadillo.
" I'm actually impressed,mhmmm,you really know your way around spices,superb",
uncle tian spoke in a greedy tone while a giant drumstick laid in his mouth,its juices running down his chin slightly.
"Old man,stop eating like a baby,look at your chin—peh!!!",
"Hehehe,you try staying without eating for a thousand years,then try this type of delicacy,let's see if you don't gobble it up like a pig",
Uncle tian said while looking at the remaining roast armadillo still on the fire with beady eyes…
"Hey don't finish my meal,old man,I'm literally the younger one here,I need the meat to replenish my energy—hey!!!,where are you going with my food??!!"
"I don't think you're hungry,if you were,you wouldn't be talking that much,I'll eat this on your behalf,hehehe,
Don't worry I'll teach you how to cultivate so you don't need to depend much on the qi from animals to survive",
Uncle tian quickly took the remaining roast armadillo from the fire and ran into the forest,yelling back towards tian yi.
Tian yi was struck speechless by his shameless behavior,isn't he supposed to be the responsible senior??,what in the world!.
"You old fogeyyyyy!!!,I'll report you to my mom",he said as he ran after uncle tian…..
