Gourmet Emperor: Master Of Culinary World 64 Sword Inten

"Henry, you remember what I've said before, that sword is only the extensions of your hand?"

"Yes, I remember that master"

"Now what I will tell you is, the sword is not only extensions of your hand but also extensions of your will. Moreover, Heaven Scourge is no ordinary sword, it has its own will. To utilize Heaven Scourge to its full potential, you must sync your will with its will"

"Master, is that mean the sword can think?"

"Not think like human thinking actually, it's more like have a certain feeling, desire from the smith who forges the weapon. You know if a special weapon or magic weapon used to kill many lives, it would absorb the negative aura from its victim which make everyone who wields that weapon become a bloodthirsty person?"

"Heaven Scourge is not that kind of weapon, right Master?"

I feel s.h.i.+ver goes down on my spine. If that really happen to that sword, I would rather dump that sword to the sea rather than become a bloodthirsty person although that sword is a magic sword

"Do I look like a bloodthirsty person to you?"

The man is smiling when hearing that question.

"No master, that's not what I mean. You do not look like a bloodthirsty person at all. But whether if Heaven Scourge can release such negative aura similar likes that"

"Don't worry Henry, even though its name is Heaven Scourge, that sword is not an evil one. When you can feel the sword's willpower you'll know how to release its power"

Hearing the man explained, my heart feels relieved. Thank G.o.d, it's not a dangerous sword at all. But how to feel the sword's will?

"Alright, it would better to show how, than to explain how. I will show how to channel the will to the sword and use it"

Then the man stands up with the wooden sword in his hand and pointing at a boulder about ten meters behind me. Eh? Where's that boulder come from? There's no boulder at all when the first time I arrive at this spirit realm. Never mind, rather than questioning where that boulder come from I'd better watch how that man uses the will on the weapon. I move aside and watch him and the boulder closely.

"Look Henry"

The man raises his hand and pointing the boulder with the wooden sword in his hand. Somehow I can feel the powerful energy from the man body start moving and circulating before moves to his hand that held the wooden sword. The energy did not stop in his hand but move through the wooden sword and fly toward the boulder. And within a blink of the eye, the boulder cracked and split into two pieces.

"Wow! Amazing!"

My mouth unconsciously utters those words after watching what happens. Isn't that like an inner power or Qi power like an old martial art story? If I can use power like that, I don't have to slash the sword, just pointing the sword to my enemy already can kill the enemy.

"I am not expecting you to immediately master this kind of power, Henry. I need dozens of years to master it myself. If I use Heaven Scourge, the boulder not only split into two, I can turn it into dust with Heaven Scourge"

"Honorable master is powerful, please give this disciple of yours some enlighten to master that power, master"

That man smile bitterly before answer it

"Unfortunately, there's no shortcut to master this technique, Henry. You should be accustomed to the sword first before you can master this technique. Did you say you never play a sword before right? Get used to it, that's the only advice I can give to you"

So it's like that. Well, it's not surprising actually. Like every chef has their own kitchen knives which whenever they use it, the chef can do the better thing than usual.

"Thank you, master, for your advice. Your disciple understand to reach perfection need hard work and persistence to keep practicing and training"

"Hmmm, that's my disciples. Well said! Is there anything else you want to ask me, Henry?"

The man looks satisfied with my answer. Actually, I want to ask him to demonstrate again from the beginning, start from the stance, the moves, and the strike because I'm afraid missed something important because the time is so short to learn them all. It would be better if I can record it on camera and watch it again later.

Eh, camera? Didn't I have something that can use as a camera too? I wonder if that thing also carried into the spirit realm. I remember well, put that thing in my pocket before sleeping. Anxiously, I search on my pocket and...

It's there! It's really there! My phone!

I hurriedly ask what in my mind to that man.

"Honorable master, if not troubling you, actually I want you to demonstrate again the swordplay from the beginning because I'm afraid I'm missing something important due the short time to learn it. If possible, please do it slowly so I can watch it better"

"Hmm, alright, that's a reasonable request and no trouble at all. sit down and watch me carefully, I'll demonstrate my swordplay once again"

The man did not refuse my request and prepare to demonstrate the swordplay once again. I hurriedly take the phone from my pocket, open the camera b.u.t.ton, select video mode and start recording.
