The Legend of Zhu San
009: The situation of Liu Empire
“Advance your body, slightly bend, widen a little more the distance between the legs.”
Lin Kai was heard giving instructions as Zhu San started practicing the Steel Leg Kick, this morning on the seventh day.
After one week of hard training, Zhu San managed to master that Kick Force at the advanced mastery stage.
Although Zhu San's progress was very rapid, much different from most people, Lin Kai was still not satisfied.
Lin Kai asked him to train even harder than before. He hid his admiration for Zhu San's speed in mastering his style.
“I took almost a year, he only took one week alone .. Absolutely terrible talent.”
Lin Kai said so in his mind, He didn't want Zhu San to be arrogant, because of his great natural talent when recalling a move.
BLAARR
A large rock, where Lin Kai and Fu Kuan used to sit for a conversation, was crushed to the brink of Zhu San's kick.
“This boy .. He can bring out the maximum potential of my Steel Leg Kick perfectly.”
Lin Kai couldn't stop to be amazed. Now his eyes widened when he saw Zhu San jump up and floated in the air in search of a large stone.
BLAAAARS
What happened next really stunned Lin Kai. He was not sure what he was seeing now.
Zhu San floated at a speed that he could hardly follow with his eyes, then easily crushed a stone twice the size of a house.
“San’Er Rest .. “
Zhu San immediately floated up to the Second Master.
“Guru ... I just practiced, why should I rest?”
Lin Kai smiled hearing Zhu San's words.
”San’er You are already at the perfect stage in mastering this style. In the real fight later, you can perfect it again with more depth.”
Zhu San nodded his head and cupped both hands in front of his chest, as a form of thanksgiving.
Lin Kai patted Zhu San on the shoulder, then told him to meet Fu Kuan asking him to train him in the Iron Fist Style.
Moments later, Fu Kuan is seen walking out of the cave and looks to be giving some theories from the manager.
After observing the movements displayed by his First Master, Zhu San immediately practiced one movement after another that he had remembered entirely.
Fu Kuan smiled at Zhu San, able to memorize the entire movement of the Iron Fist Movement in just one look.
Although it still looks stiff, but to memorize dozens of movements correctly in order, is not an easy thing.
Fu Kuan's smile widened again after Zhu San repeated the Iron Fist movement from first to last.
It was very noticeable the difference in mastery of each repetition of the move that Zhu San did.
After five repetitions of the Iron Fist Movement, Zhu San finally reached the intermediate stage of mastery.
Fu Kuan and Lin Kai asked her to take a break for a moment. In a time of rest like this, it was used by Fu Kuan and Lin Kai to tell stories about the martial world in Liu empire.
Thus, Zhu San could tell about the names of the warriors and the moves they used. Both of the Black Stream, the Neutral Flow and the White Flow.
Often Zhu San found debate among his teachers, when the two discussed how to deal with each of the characters from the three different schools.
Lin Kai, who came from the Black Stream, was more likely to suggest his opponent's lack of compassion.
That was because it would become an obstacle or nuisance for Zhu San later on in the future. Zhu San nodded his head, agreeing with the words of the Second Master.
But Fu Kuan, who came from the white stream, told Zhu San that, killing will give birth to endless grudges.
The only way to break that grudge is to forgive. Something easy to say but hard to do.
Zhu San always mediated the debate between the two by saying that he would not be reckless to kill.
Although in his heart, Zhu San agreed to eliminate his opponent, but He still wanted to keep his First Master's feelings.
This was because Zhu San judged, that the world would never lack bad people, but quite the contrary, lack of good and honest people.
After resting for quite a while, Zhu San returned to doing the Iron Fist Training he had inherited from his First Master.
Zhu San trained so hard that after one week later, he managed to master the Iron Fist Movement with a perfect mastery stage.
Later that night, Zhu San was seen alone with a stationery, planning to combine the two styles into one.
Armed with the knowledge he gained from reading all the books of his second teacher, Zhu San began writing and drawing some moves from the Iron Fist Force and Steel Leg Kicks.
After three nights in a row, Zhu San finally smiled on the third night. He managed to create a new style from the combination of the two styles that He had learned from the two teachers.

“What!! Is that really the information you gave me?”
Emperor Liu Feng said as he stood up when he got the report from one of the Generals in his military force.
General Duan Li was a General who was famous for his firm, honest and disciplined character.
That was why Emperor Liu Feng appointed himself commander of the intelligence section of the country.
“Not His Majesty, Servant does not dare to convey this if I do not know for sure.”
General Duan Li immediately knelt down when he found Emperor Liu Feng standing with a face that looked furious at him.
Emperor Liu Feng again sat on his throne after hearing the explanation from General Duan Li. He was very surprised by what he had just heard.
Not one bit He doubted the information, He just could not believe why the nobles did it.
“Who are the nobles who have recruited warriors from the martial World?”
Emperor Liu Feng's furious voice, made General Duan Li immediately take out a piece of paper and then hand it over to the fifty-year-old Emperor.
After reading for a moment the paper containing the records of the names of the nobles and high-level Swordsmen he recruited, Emperor Liu Feng's face looked a little tense.
He handed the paper to Prime Minister Xiu Shuen. The Prime Minister's forehead wrinkled after reading the paper from General Duan Li.
“ Your Majesty, Servants are not very familiar with the names of Swordsmen as well as their abilities. What if we ask the Emperor's Personal Guard, Swordsman Zeng An?”
Prime Minister Xiu Shuen immediately voiced what was on his mind. He realized that this situation would lead the Liu Empire into chaos in the next few years.
