After that, he patiently guided Fang Peibin with various techniques to use force and assigned him some homework which was to meditate every night. After Fang Peibin witnessed the power of Luo Yuan, he no longer dared to be frivolous anymore.
Luo Yuan was not the like old school martial artists who would hold back when they taught martial arts. As long as someone was willing to learn, he would teach that person whole heartedly.
After that he let Fang Peibin go somewhere farther to practice before he sat down in his original spot and immediately started meditating. As he meditated, his Will and body became one to replenish the minor bleeding and other injuries he sustained. After the intense bout of exercise, it was difficult to avoid vascular deposition. Many of his veins expanded until they broke down and started bleeding internally. Some of the muscle tissues had even ruptured. All these could not be seen by the naked eye but he could glance at it through with his abilities.
These minor injuries seemed to be a small problem and would be able to heal by themselves. Even muscles could become sturdier and stronger but the price to pay was swollen blood vessels for bigger muscles. Although it was a small issue, if it were to accumulate, it would eventually become a big issue. This was the reason why most athletes did not have a long life to live.
Under the effects of his Will, all his minor injuries healed quickly. The blood started to flow smoothly again. The muscles that had expanded due to intense exercise went back to its regular state and he felt his whole body was lighter than before.
He opened his eyes and felt as if his body was in harmony and was easier to control. He suddenly had a thought. He raised up his hand and the Zhanmadao that had been put aside immediate flew towards his hand.
Fang Peibin who was practicing somewhere not far away was stunned when he peeped and saw what had happened with Luo Yuan. When he sobered up, he could help but feel the excitement in his heart as he thought, ”This is awesome! It's a trick used by sword experts, seems like I have followed the right master!”
If he had not witnessed such abilities from Luo Yuan previously, he would have thought that this was one of the skills of an evolved human. Such a way of thinking was unusual but for a traditional martial artist such as himself, he felt that it was not out of the ordinary when Luo Yuan used a legendary ability such as this. From Fang Peibin's perspective, since he was an evolved human and was in touch with a different evolved human on a daily basis, he had seen it all. Of course, though he has seen evolved humans with similar skill and abilities, Luo Yuan's ability to summon his Zhanmadao with his Will was one that was told in myths, he was both impressed and shocked.
Luo Yuan did not care about the fuss of Fang Peibin. He grabbed the Zhanmadao and when he turned the knife the blade slightly cut his arm. The Zhanmadao, as a green level weapon was extremely sharp and could easily cut through his tough skin, leaving a five to six centimeters gash. The blood slowly flowed out from the wound. He had no idea when was the last time he got hurt. This was the first time he has seen his blood flow in six months.
The blood glowed lightly under the sunlight, the color was bright and it was so thick, it flowed much slower than the blood of regular people. After 10 seconds it finally dripped down from his arm. Luo Yuan had an idea after he saw it and the magic happened. The blood that was dripping slowlly was actually suspended in the air.
There was the first drop, a second drop and a third drop… within a few moments, there were more than 10 drops of blood that floated in the air, surrounding Luo Yuan. Soon he smiled, and the blood suddenly flew back into the wound like time had just turned backward. When the blood returned to the wound, the wound slowly healed and closed. After a few second there were no longer any sign of injuries on his arm and he could barely feel the pain anymore.
Luo Yuan was happy. He had been practicing his Will for so long before he finally saw results in his body. It seemed like his previous speculation was right. Since the Zhanmadao could be controlled like an extension of his arm, he could definitely control his own body. With his condition now, he could probably heal himself quickly even if his head had been cut off. He could even probably reconnect his head back to his body all by himself.
If he continued to practice, he might be able to continue using the rest of his body to fight even if his head was missing. He was excited when he thought about it and disregarded the shocked Fang Peibin beside him. He even imagined that he might not die so easily even if he attempted suicide in the future. However, when he thought about the four-dimensional vision that felt like a mental disease for him, he felt worried. It seemed like he needed to find the Wisdom Fruit as soon as possible.
...
”Master, let’s go for lunch now.” Fang Peibin said respectfully. He was never so respectful before. Nowadays, he had lost his confidence after he faced a series of failure and in his mind, Luo Yuan had become like an immortal god who lived on the mountain.
”I did not realize that it is lunch time now. How's your practice?” Luo Yuan looked at his watch, it was already 12 p.m. There should be nobody on the fifteenth floor and only two the of them were left. Luo Yuan kept his Zhanmadao and dressed in preparation for lunch.
”There are still some moves that I am still not used to. For example, I have forgotten how to utilize this stance.” Fang Peibin quickly posed while he walked toward Luo Yuan.
”Your stance is not wide enough, and your toes are too tensed. You have to be gentle and remember the point of using force. You have to be agile and strong at the same time so that when you exert your strength, you can utilize more of the muscle groups in your body.” Luo Yuan used the scabbard to point toward Fang Peibin’s toes, calves, and waist to guide him through the steps.
The next moment, Fang Peibin automatically moved forward by one step and it took him a distance of eight to nine meters forward. Fang Peibin was not surprised as he had seen something even more surprising before. He stood still and quickly recalled the steps. When he was done, he found that his master had walked far away. He immediately walked at a brisk pace to keep up and continued asking, ”This action also seems to be a bit jerky.”
Luo Yuan stopped and guided him on using the right steps. Fang Peibin was indeed someone who was very interested in martial arts. People he taught before were in comparison, harder to be trained. Huang Jiahui and Zhao Yali were even worse. Since they left the wilderness, they just neglected their martial arts. It would great if they had trained more than once a week. Of course, Luo Yuan did not want to push them as long as everyone was in a good condition. As for Deng Chao and Zhong Chuqiang, they were better off because they were at least more serious in practicing their martial arts.
