”Now that I'm hurt, I'll need a daily supply of living animals for my recovery, so you must bring me 10 white deer or other living animals on a daily basis!”
”10?!” That was a real shocker for Junior Leopard. The danger was creeping at every moment around the Misty Mountain. God knew what danger was waiting deep in the ancient woods. It was true that Junior Leopard got the secret book of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique from him, but how could he count on a little boy to be a Level Seven fighter overnight and hunt 10 living animals a day? He was nothing but a 10-year-old kid!
”I know this is not that easy, but I have no time waiting for you. As followers of Dark Sect, we worship no gods. We have the guts to challenge impossible missions and rise from ashes like a phoenix. You are my apprentice now, which means you have to pass the test of Dark Sect. You'd better be killed if you can't do such little things like hunting ten stupid animals!”
Junior Leopard said with a sad face, ”I'll give my life to fulfill the missions my master assigned, but should your injury got worse because of me, I can't afford the consequences even if I had a thousand lives!”
”You sure got a sweet tongue, but I knew what I was doing the moment I gave you the mission. It's not possible for you to learn the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique overnight. It'll take some time, so I'll teach you a mental cultivation method of Lightness Skill. In addition, I'll teach you a set of moves of concealed weapons because I noticed that you have two darts, so I assume that you are good with concealed weapons. Those two techniques and the dagger I gave you are enough for you to finish the mission. Don't bother to come back to me if you still can't do your job well!”
Junior Leopard said silently, ”I wish!”
Then, Xue Wuya gave Junior Leopard a detailed lecture on a set of mental cultivation method of Lightness Skill and concealed weapons technique for two hours. Xue Wuya, whose face turned as pale as death, rushed to the steep valley to heal himself until Junior Leopard said that he had remembered them all.
”Oh, that's it. I have no choice.”
Junior Leopard sighed as Xue Wuya walked away. As if accepted his fate, he looked around, walked to a big tree, climbed to the top of the tree with all his hands and feet, and reached the edge of the mountain alongside a branch. There, in the middle of the cliff, hidden a small cave. He climbed into the cave, sighed again. At least he had found a place to protect himself from rough wind and heavy rain now.
It was not a big cave, about 10 feet high and 35 feet deep, enough for Junior Leopard to get some rest. It was damp, the earth covered by a thick layer of moss, but none of these stopped Junior Leopard. He put his butt on the floor, legs crossed, and then started to practice the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique.
He spent the past year studying the basics of Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique at the Wu's. Although now had access to the whole version of the practice method, he still had to take baby steps, kept practicing the basics, which was way more sophisticated than what he had learned at the Wu's. He benefited a great deal from the precious lessons given by the master of martial arts, Xue Wuya, who taught him the fine parts which a Level Three fighter like Qin Xuanlong could never understand.
Junior Leopard thought, ”Ignis Skill and Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique, which are the same by the very nature, are both the foundations of the fire-property internal strength. The difference lies in the former emphasizes the quality of Internal Qi while the latter emphasizes the quantity, which needs accumulating instead of purifying like needed in the Ignis Skill. Each of the two techniques has its unique strength, which probably means unexpected great effects if the purifying process used in the Ignis Skill were combined with the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique.” But then he could not help laughing at himself. ”What was I thinking? Ignis Skill is not difficult to find, especially for big families like Tian Long Taoism and the Wu's. If the combination is possible, they would have done it already. Who am I to dream about a big pie? I'm not one of those prodigies in fantasy novels who were born with wisdom.”
Then, he managed to forget about the idea.
