Chapter 3: The Father Disappears

The first rays of golden light lit up in the morning, tearing open the dim sky slightly. In front of the small bamboo house, Yuan Yi waved the huge iron sword in his hand again and again, and the heavy iron sword cut thin marks on the wooden stakes made of hard Tielan wood. The clothes were already soaked, clinging tightly to Yuan Yi's thin body.

"Five hundred and one, five hundred and two......" counted lowly, his arms getting heavier and heavier, and his slashing movements getting slower and slower.

The iron sword slipped to the ground, counting exactly a thousand times, Yuan Yi had already reached his limit, his arm was as heavy as a thousand catties, and he couldn't lift it again. Panting and resting for a while, Yuan Yi slowly stretched his body at will.

Knowing that he couldn't become an elemental master for a while, Yuan Yi could only continue to work hard to cultivate martial arts. In this world of the jungle, without a trace of self-protection, Dad can't save his life. The kind of desperate days in his memory are intolerable to Yuanyi, so he can only endure them one by one, so that he is unwilling to eat himself. However, the meridians of this body are extremely weak, and if you want to catch up with ordinary people in martial arts, you must put in several times more efforts. Six years of continuous persistence, coupled with the careful conditioning of the third uncle's various medicines, his body barely caught up with the strength of an ordinary martial artist. But Yuan Yi didn't want to give up, so if he was not in good health, he would exercise, believing that he would succeed one day.

Since the age of six, Yuan Yi has gotten up early in the morning, swung his heavy sword until he was exhausted, and then played Tai Chi for an hour to relax and exercise his flexibility. Tai Chi was practiced in my previous life, and it basically didn't break every morning, and it is still the same when I came to this world.

At first, Dad looked at this strange posture and didn't understand, Yuan Yi could only say that he saw it in an ancient book. The father watched his daughter's health getting better and better, so he didn't ask. I still practiced with my daughter when I had time, but later I found out more and more that the mystery was very deep, and slowly there was a tendency to break through the Sword King and enter the Sword Master. You must know that breaking through the Holy Rank does not rely on cultivation, but on epiphany.

Six years of uninterrupted persistence, several times more effort than children of the same age, only allowed Yuan Yi to reach the level of a nine-star great swordsman. It's not bad compared to children with ordinary qualifications of the same age, but it's much worse than those who are slightly more talented. Dad often looks at himself, always with a deep sense of guilt in his eyes. The third uncle also looked for the best medicinal materials for himself to regulate his body. Yuan Yi sees everything in his eyes, he can only continue to learn silently, keep exercising, and only when he becomes stronger will they rest assured.

After practicing the morning class in front of the wooden house, after breakfast, I was ready to try to absorb the elemental power again. Suddenly, there was a sense of irritability and panic in my heart, and my father and third uncle went out for a few days and never returned. In the past, Daddy always came back on time, after all, the Sunset Mountains were full of dangers. Although he is taken care of by the big white and the little white, the father is not too worried about being alone. So my dad tried to reduce the time he spent going out, and even if he had to go out, he would come back on time.

But now...... Daddy won't have any accidents. Others don't know Daddy's strength, but they know. Daddy has now reached the Holy Rank, and in this Tren Continent, the Holy Rank powerhouses in an empire can be counted on one hand. As long as Daddy escapes with all his might, who else can leave him, the more Yuan Yi thinks about it, the more frightened he becomes.

"Roar...... Roar ......" Da Bai's eager roar came from afar, Yuan Yi was shocked, and rushed towards Da Bai's voice. Seeing that Da Bai was already the third uncle of the bloody man next to him, Yuan Yi's brain was blank, and what he was most afraid of happened. Can't be afraid, can't be afraid, Yuan Yi trembled and calmed himself down. Stretched out his hand to check the situation of the third uncle, but he fainted from exhaustion, but fortunately it was not serious. Xiaobai has already repaired the third uncle's body, and the third uncle should wake up later. Yuan Yi slowly helped the third uncle to Da Bai and walked towards the cabin. As soon as he put the third uncle on the bed, the third uncle woke up.

"Little One...... Ahem......" hoarse voice with eagerness.

"Third uncle, drink some water, say slowly" Feed the third uncle some water, sit quietly on the edge of the bed, Yuan Yi has no superficial peace in his heart.

The third uncle fumbled in his arms for a while, and turned out a delicate small wooden box, "Little One...... Eat this Heavenly Spirit Grass, the Heavenly Spirit Grass must be taken within three days after it is pulled out, otherwise the medicinal effect will disappear. I'll talk about the rest until you're done absorbing it."

took the wooden box in the third uncle's hand, opened it and looked at the transparent green grass inside, this is the legendary Tianling grass. It has the miraculous effect of repairing the muscles and widening the dantian, and it is the magic medicine that every warrior dreams of.

"Third Uncle ......" looked at the weak man lying on the bed, his black hair was slightly covered with a few strands of silver, where was a pharmacist like the third uncle in this Tren Continent not treated as a guest by the lord of the country. But for his father and third uncle, he traveled all over the world and worked hard, just for his own glimmer of hope. Yuan Yi felt a sense of powerlessness, and he knew that his weak physique was only a little bit better. Yuan Yi reluctantly picked up the wooden box and returned to his room, sat quietly on the bed, took out the Tianling grass suit, and slowly breathed and absorbed it.

After completely absorbing the effect of the Heavenly Spirit Grass, it was already dark when he opened his eyes. This time, after absorbing the Heavenly Spirit Grass, his physical strength has already surpassed that of ordinary martial artists, as long as he works hard to practice swordsmanship. In the future, when walking on the mainland, I still have a certain ability to protect myself. After all, there are only a few strong people above the ground level. It is rare to see a strong person in a city. Out of 10,000 people, there is one elemental, and there is only one in 10,000 elementals who want to reach the ground level. And the elemental master can only be truly higher than the average martial artist if he reaches the ground level. At present, the most important thing for me is to break through the Great Swordsman. Becoming a sword master, a twelve-year-old sword master can be regarded as a young talent.

The third uncle shouldn't have eaten yet, so Yuan Yi made a pot of light mushroom and lean porridge in the kitchen and served a bowl. When I came to the door of the third uncle's room, I gently pushed the door open, and saw that the third uncle had already gotten up, and sat on the bed in a daze.

"Third uncle, let's eat something" Seeing that the third uncle came back to his senses, Yuan Yi walked to the bed, and the third uncle took the small bowl in Yuan Yi's hand with a smile and chewed it slowly. After eating, she sighed and said, "The little girl has grown up."

"Third uncle, what's going on" Taking the empty bowl, Yuan Yi said with a serious expression.

"I can't hide it from you, your father is gone, and he goes to find your mother. I can't tell you that yet. I promise your father that if you can reach the Holy Order, you will be able to tell you everything you know. Otherwise, you still don't know anything. We will go back to our home in a few days, knowing that you don't want to, but there is no way to escape some things, as the third uncle of the direct family, he has his own responsibilities. The third uncle is not worried that you are here alone, it will be very chaotic recently, and it is no longer safe here. It's best not to reveal your identity because of your mother's relationship, so the third uncle wronged you to enter the family as the third uncle's medicine boy. This ring is worn by you and can change your appearance and gender. The third uncle promised you that he would not stop you from going out when you became a great sword master. When he said this, Yuan Yi could feel the grief and worry in the third uncle's heart. Helplessly, like myself, I can't do anything.

There were too many questions, Yuan Yi couldn't ask them, so he could only listen silently. Walking out of the third uncle's room and looking at the bright moon in the starry sky, unlike his hometown, the moon here is purple. Hazy and poignant. I am still too weak, in this world of the jungle, I even have the right to live in the hands of others, not to mention saving my relatives. Yuan Yi has never felt such powerless. I've never been so eager to get stronger.
