--- Chapter 10 ---
--- Two Years Later ---
In the backyard of the sleepy fairy inn, we could see Yunlong firmly standing on the ground with a black sheathed katana in his left hand.
Yunlong's body had grown a lot in these two years as he looks like an eight-year-old boy right now, and that was because of his mother's combat training.
His body becomes more potent because of the [Vajra Body Scripture], which he got from a challenging quest to touch his mother once while fighting her in the combat training.
'It was a dissaster...' Yunlong commented in his heart while remembering his struggles to touch his mother once in the combat training.
He tried every kind of way to attacked his mother. Still, she can gracefully dodge them all. Not only can she easily overpower him with only pure physical power, but her fighting prowess is also terrifying.
Yunlong succeeded in touching his mother in the end, well, that was because his Sharingan tomoes increased from two to three, which increased his dynamic vision to a different level.
Every time their combat training session is over, Bibi Dongxue usually prepared a medicinal bath for him, increasing his training effectiveness.
'Six years, huh... Today, I will awaken my martial soul.' Yunlong thought while opening his eyes, showed a pair of crimson eyes with three rotated tomoes.
'Open my status.' He added as a black screen appeared in front of his face.
[Opening Status...]

Yunlong smiled while staring at his status before nodded in satisfaction.
He got three additional rewards in these two years: Flash Step(incomplete), Rumbling Strike, and Vajra Body Scripture.
He fused the flash steps, and shadow staps into one and created a new movement skill called the [Shadow Flash Steps].
This new movement skill combining two essences of both techniques, which makes his movement like a flash but at the same time, he's also able to create afterimages.
He also combined the rumbling strike and iron fist into one and creating the [Rumbling Iron Fist]. This fist technique becomes fast like lightning and hard like iron.
The [Vajra Body Scripture] is a body refining technique that makes his body more potent while gaining the Vajra body.
The Vajra Body had nine levels, and he's only at level two right now, and as his mother estimate, his physical body should be around the spirit grandmaster realm.
"I was improving more than two years ago," Yunlong commented as he shifted his gaze to a black-sheathed katana in his left hand.
"Dawn Breaker." He muttered the name of the katana.
Yunlong calmly unsheathed the katana from its sheath, showing a cold, sharp black blade with purple waves pattern across the edge.
(An: The pattern looks like a Damascus pattern)
[Name: Dawn Breaker]
[Type: Weapon/Katana]
[Grade: Mid-Rare]
[Description: A katana created by an expert blacksmith, using a deep black iron as the material. Because of the blacksmith's total effort and the great material, this katana can become the blacksmith's masterpiece]
Yunlong then grasps a dagger in his hip before unsheathing it from its leather sheath, showing a short blade with the same pattern as the Dawn Breaker, which is purple waves across the edge.
"Dawn Piercer," Yunlong commented while looking at the light reflection on the dagger blade.
[Name: Dawn Piercer]
[Type: Weapon/Dagger]
[Grade: Low-Rare]
[Description: A dagger made by an expert blacksmith using a leftover deep black iron ore, but because of the extra effort of the blacksmith, this dagger is still able to become a fine piece]
"Hmm?" Yunlong tilted his head while placing his katana behind his back.
*Swoosh!*
Something suddenly flew at a fast speed toward him and directly hit his katana in a split second.
*Clank!*
"Good, your sense had become better." Bibi Dongxue comes out from the shadow while smiling at him.
"But this isn't enough, right?" She added before her figure disappeared from the area.
Yunlong's Sharingan scanning the area until a chill suddenly appeared on his stomach.
'Shit! Below!' Yunlong thought as his mother's leg is almost touching his stomach.
Using his shadow flash steps, Yunlong hurriedly created one afterimage, which he used to fool his mother.
Bibi Dongxue's kick passed through the afterimage as Yunlong appeared beside him.
'Rumbling Fist.' Yunlong punched out his fist toward his mother, who smiled at him before also launching a punch.
*BAM!*
Two fists meet each other and producing a muffled sound.
"Good..." Bibi Dongxue praised as Yunlong throw his dagger toward her.
*Swooosh!*
Bibi Dongxue's caught the dagger handle before saying, "throwing a dagger won't work on me, you know."
"I know..." Yunlong calmly responded while slashing out his katana to the air.
'Second Sword: Falling Thunder Chop.' He pulled his sword upward before slashing downward vertically at a fast pace, leaving the sound of a thunderclap.
*Clank!*
Bibi Dongxue parried the slash with the dagger in his hands, but to her surprise, Yunlong is suddenly dashed forward while making two afterimages.
'I never use this, but...' Yunlong thought while placing the katana on his shoulder.
'Fifth Sword: Heat Haze.' He added as he and his afterimages slashed out their katana at the same time.
'Which one is the real one.' Bibi Dongxue frowned because she never saw her son using this technique.
'Hmm? Up!' She raised her head and found Yunlong descending from the skies.
"You can't dodge in the air, Yunlong." Bibi Dongxue commented while throwing the dagger back to her son.
The dagger is passed through Yunlong's body and dissolving into a haze before a calm voice appeared in Bibi Dongxue's ear.
"None of them are real..." Yunlong commented while pointing his katana at his mother's neck.
"Haha... neither did I." Bibi Dongxue responded with a chuckle as her body dissolving into thin air.
*Bam!*
*Cough!*
Yunlong suddenly feels his stomach hurt as he coughed before noticed Bibi Dongxue's fist planted on his abdomen.
He kneeled while clutching his stomach in pain.
"W-Why didn't you holding back a little," Yunlong said, which makes a smile bloom on Bibi Dongxue's face.
"Uugh... Are you not afraid to critically hurting your son?" He added while groaning in pain.
"Well, you would not improve yourself if I am holding back." Bibi Dongxue responded while staring at him.
"But, your progress is already exceeding my hope in these years, so good job, my beloved son." She added before patting Yunlong on the head, "You still lack something, though."
"I lack what?" Yunlong asked while raising his head and meet his mother's eyes.
"Intent to Kill." Bibi Dongxue straightly answered, which makes Yunlong dazed for a few seconds.
'Haah... I still have a long way, huh.' Yunlong thought before released a heavy sigh.
