Chapter 43: The Flying Stars Sect [2] (1/2)

After recovering back from the little shock, he carefully and thoughtfully looked at the bamboo trees. These were serious foes that deserved proper attention. He started to analyse what could be wrong in his mind without allowing the steward to know that he had no idea of everything going on. Although they looked different from the ones in Lorra, they were still bamboo tree.

Did he tried to cut a bit too high? It must be, he would try to cut low next.

He swung the axe low hoping it would be fine the next time around but, he received the same shock that made him staggered a few steps back.

”What is wrong with this boy? Is he sick in the head or trying to properly waste my time?”

The steward looked at Ju Feng in bewilderment. Never had he seen anything or anyone behaved like that before.

”Hey you! Why are you behaving this way? I still have a lot to do, get on with it and stop wasting my time. I warn you.”

”Senior, I assure you, I'm really trying to cut the bamboo trees. But, they are too strong.”

”How can you be using your Chi to cut the Ten Trigram spirit bamboo trees?. If you are really trying, you will use your natural strength and not your stupid Chi. Now, can you carry on so we can leave here on time?”

”I will give it my all senior, you can count on that.”

Body strength. Well, he should be able to relate to that, his bones was already strong like that of silver snow bear and his body like that of a mountain.

Knowledge was truly the key to success. Having known how, he landed his stroke on the bamboo stem with greater success. There was no reflective shock or any repercussion.

He continued to land his swing on the bamboo and chips started to appear on the bamboo stem after every swing. He continued to swing the axe and after ten minutes, he finished with the bamboo tree then moved to the next one. It took him three hours to finish cutting the twenty bamboo tree and arranged them into rolls of tens.

”Heaven's tears, thank you for putting my life and maybe yours, into consideration. Maybe you are not that stupid. I believe you can still participate in the competition, after all. Let's go.”
