But, now it comes to this point. I take back my decision. You can't learn Blackwade Sword Dance. I'm not telling you for your own safety. Although, it is fine for me. But, if other Blackwade's clan members know about it, then your life would be in danger. So, please don't learn about this Sword Dance. I'm asking you" Song Yu said solemnly.
Alex nodded. "You have my word. I feel the sword dance is more compatible with females too."
"With this Blackwade VIP card as a proof which your master gave you. I'm sure that you will cross this continent and arrive at Willow Continent since your master even gave the card to you. It might be his proof of your talent, he believed you would be able to cross the continent. Never show anyone you have this Blackwade VIP card until you have the power to protect yourself. But if you need to buy something from Blackwade clan, you only need to say these words to the receptionist. 'Blackwade V'. This is the secret code to show you have a Blackwade VIP card.
We made this secret code, so if the cardholder didn't want his identity to be exposed, they could secretly say it, and the receptionist will lead you to the manager of our store. Usually, the manager will tell you about it after you used the VIP card. But since you are in front of me now, I told you this."
"I see. Is there anything I need to know other than this?"
Song Yu thought for a while. "I think...no. That should be it. I don't know what is this VIP card with two golden 'V' but I can assure you it is real. The white card is the exclusive card for Blackwade clan members, which can be used to identify the VIP card as well as our identity as Blackwade Clan member. Maybe I will try to find out after I go back to my family three years later."
"You will go back?" Alex was surprised. To think his Senior Sister did not come from this continent .instead, she came from the next continent, which he needs to go before he arrived at the Heavenly Continent.
"Yeah, I'm planning to go back after the continent Grand Tournament...family circumstances. That's why if you reached Northern Continent, I would welcome you in Blackwade Clan." Song Yu said.
"Well, I'm planning to go to win Grand Tournament for various reasons..." Alex said, embarrassedly. When others heard it, it would not be a resolution but instead a brag without any proof to back it up.
Song Yu's eyes widened. She wanted to brush it off, but coming from him, she somehow can't brush it off. She just had a feeling that Alex was dead serious, and he might pull out a miracle. "Well...Good luck"
Alex was taken aback. He thought she would retort him, saying it would not be possible.
"Alright. We will go back to practice. Have you decided which Sword Arts you want to learn first as my gift?"
Alex nodded, "Then, I choose Four Directions Slash."
"Sure. I will do some demonstration for you. If you have any questions just ask it. But haiz, this method is really black. I mean, the rule said we couldn't give our books of Martial Arts to other people, including our protege. But, it was broken by you who can learn it from looking."
"Rule?" Alex tilted his head. He didn't know there was a rule for Martial Arts.
"Eh? You don't know about it? Don't tell me you haven't read the rule on a board beside the entrance?" Song Yu asked with a shocked face.
Alex innocently shook his head. "Now that I remembered it, there was indeed a board near the entrance."
Facepalmed, Song Yu was surprised to see Alex's lack of common sense. "Well, there are only three rules. First, you can't let outsiders learn the Sect's Martial Arts, including your family members. Second, you can't lend the books to your protege or other sect members. Third, the time limit is two months. After that, you need to bring back the book. If it was stolen or damaged, you need to accept punishment from the sect."
Alex nodded.
"Alright. Since you broke the system, Let's start with some demonstrations" Song Yu said.
She demonstrated the 'Four Directions Slash' to Alex ten times. Then she asked Alex what he understood from it. And Alex gave her a shock, Alex had understood part of her Sword Art just from a few glances. Alex convinced her even more that he was a monster.
Song Yu continued teaching him the Four Direction Slash. After two hours, Alex's understanding was at the same level as her. Of course, even though his understanding was on the same level. It didn't mean he can use it yet. He needs to train sword art. After all, theory and practical was different.
Alex can use the 'Four Directions Slash' perfectly after a day of training. Song Yu can't be more surprised later after the shock she got today. Although Alex can use the 'Four Directions Slash' perfectly, he still needs to practice it so his body can get used to it and will be more practical in a battle.
But the next day shocked her again. She almost fainted by having her pride crushed down by Alex. Because, in the second day. Alex suddenly used the 'Four Direction Slash' but not exactly the 'Four Direction Slash'. After all, he produced five streams of light, making a pentagram movement. Alex called it Pentagram Slash since it was easy to understand the name. Song Yu had the worst but also the best time in her life. She can see what was called a genius among genius. It was like he was born just to wield a sword.
If she knew about Alex's spear, she might jump down to the bottom of the mountain just to hide her pride there. Alex shared his experience with her. And Song Yu was grateful to him and absorbed the knowledge like a sponge. And She learned it the next day and somehow able to use it once by a fluke.
Alex stayed the night in Song Yu's place...in her guest room, of course. On the fourth day, before Alex went back to his place. He told her about the talk with Evelyn back in the Battle Tower.
"Senior Sister. Are you not curious about the Seven Stars Cut? Especially back in the Battle Tower, you seemed a bit frustrated about it. Do you want to know it?"
"I surely want to know it. But, I won't force you to tell me. After all, you are not obligated to do so. But others might force you to it. Of course, I will try my best to protect you." Said Song yu while smiling.
Alex decided to talk about it since it was the Sect's Sword Art, not a Sword Art from the System. He didn't mind about it. "Well, what I told her back then was the requirement to use Seven Stars Cut."
"Requirement?"
"Yeah. To use Seven Stars Cut, you need to be able to send your Sword Intent flying first" Said Alex.
"You mean, the last step before reaching Sword Grandmaster?" Asked Song Yu, intrigued. Alex only nodded his head.
Song Yu tried to understand Alex's meaning about the requirement. But she can't think of anything about it. Alex smiled, "The words inside the stone monument was very confusing. Seven Stars Cut is really a Seven Layers Sword Wave to one. But the one you used now is Seven Layers Sword Wave but look like one Sword Wave."
Song Yu pondered for a moment before she understood. "You mean, the true Seven Stars Cut is a fused one from all of the Seven Layers?"
"Yeah, That's all about it. And to fuse it..."
"I need to use my Sword Intent." Song Yu's eyes widened. She never thought the truth was just that.
Alex nodded. "Sometimes, we just need to look at it from a different perspective to look for the answer."
"So, that's why you told her the requirement was to have the ability to send her Sword Intent flying?"
Alex nodded again. "The fusing part was the hardest part of all, though. You can try it from two layers Seven Stars Cut. Try to fuse those two layers before moving to three layers."
Song Yu took a note of it. She listened to Alex's advice, just like a student listen to their teacher's words. After that, she said, "I can't let you go empty handed for this. Even if you are fine with it. I won't let you. That's why I will also teach this Omnislash to you."
It became like a trade. Or maybe because of her background as a merchant, she unconsciously said that. But, like she said, Alex was fine with it even if she didn't give anything. Since she had offered this already, it was rude not to accept it. After all, this Omnislash also intrigued him.
But because of this incident, Song Yu got all of her pride crushed by Alex again.
Alex took another day to learn the Omnislash. While training on it, Alex suddenly came up with a new way that let the Sword reach a hundred meters mark from its original fifty meters mark. In the end, Song Yu listened to Alex's advice again. Well, it can be said, it was give and take. Song Yu taught him the basics while Alex taught her the advancement.
Alex stayed in Song Yu's house in a week. At first, he wanted to go back to his house since it wasn't that far. But since they were training till late at night. Song Yu offered him to stay inside her home since there wasn't any different from Alex's house, which Alex accepted. Alex trained at the day and consolidated his foundation at night. Martial Master didn't need to sleep again, since they only need to recover their Spiritual Energy for that.
But, sleeping from time to time was good for health to reduce stress because of Cultivation. Just for a change of pace. After a week, Alex finally bid his goodbye to Song Yu, leaving her so much homework.
First was her Four...Pentagram Slash. The second one was her Omnislash, and the last one was the Seven Stars Cut. She had room for improvement. But at least she wasn't repugnant to learn from her own protege. That was a relief. And her eagerness to improve was also very high.
Alex finally went back to his house. He summoned Anna first. At Song Yu's house, Alex needs to make a Sound Insulation Array before summoning her for a period of time or talking about Leoz's progress. It was a bit restricting for him. Since he was in his home, there was no need to conceal it any longer.
"Anna, sorry to make you wait. But this is our new home" Alex said.
"That's fine, Young Master. As long as I'm with you, that would be my home" Anna said innocently. There wasn't something behind her words, like a seduction, it was genuinely coming from her heart.
Alex smiled, then he summoned Sherry.
*Poof*
"Wuu!" Sherry finally made its appearance. She saluted to him, "Wuu!"
But she still can't stop the drool coming out of her mouth. She really wanted the pills that Alex promised. Alex said, "I haven't refined them yet and planning to refine it now. You can wait, right?"
She nodded repeatedly. Alex refined the thirty sets of ingredients. After succeeding in the first one, he gave the first five pills to Sherry first. Sherry was content with it. She ate the pills happily while waiting for Alex to make the other one. Of course, she needs a long time to refine all of those pills. She might need a few months to refine all of that.
After refining all of the ingredients, Alex had forty five Fire Spirit Pills now, excluding the first five he gave to Sherry. Sherry can advance to 9-Star Martial Master after disgesting all of the Fire Spirit Pills. It was really envious to have her ability. It was like 'Eat, and you will get stronger.'
Alex was in a very complicated spot, His pet only needs to eat to get stronger while his Spirits only need to kill monsters to level up and get stronger. While he needs to cultivate tirelessly to get stronger.
