Shen chatted a little longer with Yue before he went back to the house. As he entered the house, he went directly to Yosu statue. It had been sometimes from the last time Yosu came alive to meet him. If there was someone who knew about magic, Yosu might be that person. He wanted to know how to advance his Elemental Force. 

He stood in front of the statue and muttered in a low voice. "I need your help, Master." Even though he said he needed help, he did not have hope that his Master would come alive.

"Hoho, you need my help, Lad?" It was unexpected that the old man came alive under his wish. Shen looked up and was surprised to see his Master came alive. This never happened before.

Yosu quickly noticed that his disciple lost his left arm as his eyes moved to the missing arm. "You seem to have a new story than hunting that stupid fish?" The old man took the first step and stopped as he sensed something else from his disciple. There was a foreign power that resided in his disciple.

"You have become a lot stronger than I thought, Lad? I am interested to listen to your story now." The old man pulled Shen with him to the bed. Both sat on the edge of the bed as the old man grinned toward Shen. "Tell me, how do you awaken the Frost Elemental Force?"

Shen recounted everything that happened to him yesterday. Encountering the Blizzard Tiger, helping the Blizzard Tiger, until the Ice Boa ripped off his left arm. He told his master everything.

"I see, but I miss a single detail from your story, my disciple. How did you awaken that Frost Elemental Force?" Yosu squinted his eyes.

"I am sorry, Master. I promised to not tell anyone how I awakened my Elemental Force to the individual who helped me to awaken my Elemental Force." Shen shook his head. He promised to tell no one, and he held to the promise, even to Yosu.

"Nevermind, I know who helps you awaken that Frost Elemental Frost." Yosu smiled even though he did not get the answer as he already had the answer the moment Shen told him he encountered Blizzard Tiger. "I have been living here longer than you thought, so I know everything about Vales." The old man winked his right eye at Shen.

"All in all, that's a good start for you, Lad." The old man then looked at the missing arm. "You don't need to worry about your missing arm. When that old man's successor appears, you will have your arm back."

Even though Tang Shaoyang did not know who was that old man, but he could guess it. It must be the old man with the alchemist-related class. There were two houses with a sign that related to Alchemist. That old man in Yosu's mouth must stay in one of those two houses.

"Is that why you want my help, right?" Yosu smiled at Shen.

However, Shen shook his head. "No, that's not what I want to ask about, Master. There's another matter I want to know about, and it's about Elemental Force. I want to know more about Elemental Force, and how do I advance my Elemental Force from the elementary grade?"

"Ah, that's why you call me out." The old man nodded his head. Elemental Force was not common knowledge even in Eternal Wind City. Most of the people in the Eternal Wind city did not know about Elemental Force.

"Unfortunately, My Disciple, you have to find it out by yourself. You can't ask anything you want to know from me. This is your path, not my path. The world is too vast for you only to follow one path, my path." Yosu shook his head as he pointed his index finger at Shen's chest.

"Furthermore, even if I tell you about Elemental Force, you can't do anything about it because you are too weak. You can't advance your Elemental Force, but your answer lies within Vales. Keep exploring Vales, and you will find out the answer." Yosu grinned at Shen. The old man was happier than usual.

There was a reason for that, and that reason was his disciple. He was surprised to find out that his disciple awakened the Frost Elemental Frost. But then he thought about it, the Frost Elemental Frost, and his Void Sword Technique. Both were compatible, strengthening each other. Yosu was excited to see his disciple's future.

Shen got his answer, even though it was not a direct answer. The answer lied within Vales, so he needed to explore Vales to find out more about Elemental Force. There was nothing he could do if the old man did not want to tell him now.

"Alright, then. You have grown a lot stronger than in our last meeting. It's time for the next training. Follow me." Yosu went out of the house. Shen immediately followed his Master.

When they reached outside the house, ZhenZhen just finished preparing a meal for Yue. She made roasted Guardian Fish.

"Lass, prepare me three roasted Guardian Fish as well. I kinda miss your cooking." Yosu made a request to ZhenZhen. Yes, sometimes the other Masters also came out of their houses to taste ZhenZhen's cooking. Yoru was not an exception.

Yosu brought him to the backyard. When they reached there, Yosu picked up a wooden sword and turned around. The old man pointed the wooden sword at him and opened his mouth. "Take your sword out. From today onwards, you will fight against me from morning until noon."

Shen did not expect this to happen. He thought his Master would teach him a new training method instead of sparring. He looked around, but he could not find another wooden sword. That wooden sword was the only wooden sword in the backyard. "I can't find another wooden sword, Master."

"Who told you to use a wooden sword? Take out your actual sword!" Yosu smiled, "There's no but or I will start the fight now."

While Shen was hesitating, the old man made his move. His movement was fast, and Shen was caught off guard. The wooden sword stabbed in his belly, and he was sent backward with a single strike.

Bugh!

Shen's back hit against the wooden wall as he felt a sting of pain on his belly. Then he noticed floating damage above his head.

-1

"Take your sword out and fight me!" Yosu's smile disappeared. The old man was being serious right now, and Shen took out the sword given to him by Yosu. "Let's start the fight now."

This time, Shen was prepared, but it was all the same. His eyes could see his Master's fast movement, but his body failed to react to the attack in time. He tried to parry the wooden sword, but the wooden sword reached his body first. The sword hit the side of his belly, and he fell to the side.

-1

He suffered 1 damage. Even though it was just one damage, he would die for sure if he received another 478 hits. Shen immediately stood up again.

Shen could see the movement, but his reaction was always late to react. After getting hit eight times, he realized he could not face his Master head-on, 'Tsk, Stupid Shen. Why would you even try to face your Master head-on?"

Shen changed his approach this time. Instead of trying to block the attack, Shen tried to dodge the wooden sword. He got the right idea, but his reaction time was still too late, 'What is this? Is he trying to dominate me with his high stats?"

Even though he kept falling under Yosu's strike, he stood up again and again. Shen even used his movement skill, [Void Step]. However, even with the skill, he failed to dodge the attack. That was so frustrating as Shen failed to dodge a single attack.

It was starting to feel hurt all over his body. Yosu kept hitting on the different spots. On his belly, side belly, back, chest, even his forehead. That was a one-sided miserable spar. He was beaten black and blue by his master.

Time quickly passed, and the sun reached above his forehead. Shen was lying down with all four, looking at the sky. He was hit on the neck now. That was so hurt. He almost said "give up" until he heard his Master's voice.

"That's for today. We will continue tomorrow morning. We will not stop the sparring until you can land at least ten hits.
