Becoming a Wizard by Starting From the Mind Closure Technique-Chapter 736 - 219 Human Immortal Martial Path_2

Chapter 736 -219 Human Immortal Martial Path_2

“Hmm…”

Li Shuwen found himself lost in contemplation.

He greatly admired Link’s candidness, his honesty without false expectations, but also worried that accepting Link would unnecessarily bring trouble to the Martial Arts School.

However, he really didn’t want to miss a good prospect for the Human Immortal Martial Path.

As a result, he was stuck with indecision.

Brother Shi opened his mouth, wanting to encourage the master to make a decision sooner.

The previously overlooked little girl spoke up again: “Daddy, I want this young man to study with me, is that okay?”

Li Shuwen felt a strange sensation.

The boy in front of him had thick eyebrows, bright eyes, and a pleasant appearance that made him a handsome prospect.

If he took him under his wing and the boy grew up, wouldn’t he steal his precious daughter’s heart?

That’s not acceptable, absolutely not.

As a rebellious thought popped into his mind, Li Shuwen was about to sternly reject Link’s request to become his disciple.

However, at that moment, a woman entered the study and lightly reprimanded Li Shuwen: “If our daughter wants a study companion, is it so hard for you to agree?”

Li Shuwen chuckled awkwardly: “I’m just worried it would cause trouble for the Martial Arts School.”

“What kind of trouble?”

The woman’s eyebrows shot up, “If there was any trouble, could this young man have come to our Martial Arts School alone and unharmed?”

“You’re right, my Dear, you’re right.”

The widely revered Martial Arts master Li Shuwen, famous in and around Fuli County, turned out to be under the thumb of his wife, and he quickly softened his tone.

“I’ve decided, we’ll accept him.”

The woman beckoned towards the little girl sitting in front of the desk, “Having a younger brother for Sisi, studying and practicing martial arts together, sounds great!”

She pulled the little girl towards her, then turned to instruct Brother Shi: “Manager Fu has already had a room prepared in the western wing. It’s next to your room, Gandang. Take your junior brother to get acquainted with the place, then you can all join us for dinner. As for becoming a disciple, it’s getting late today. Let’s do it tomorrow morning.”

“Certainly, Madam.”

Shi Gandang, known as Brother Shi, quickly responded, then bowed to both Master and Madam.

Seeing this, Link also bowed to his soon-to-be Master and Madam, then followed Brother Shi out of the study.

Just before Link turned around, the little girl flashed him a bright smile and winked.

Link kept his expression calm and responded with a straightforward look, displaying no frivolous behavior.

Back in the study, Li Shuwen exchanged glances with his wife, then suddenly sighed: “My dear, it’s not that I’m timid or afraid of trouble. It’s just that the current situation is overly complex, we must be careful.”

His wife snorted, “What is there to be afraid of? Those people from the Mechanical martial arts are striving to improve. If the Human Immortal Martial Path doesn’t want to be swept into the dustbin of history, they must also strive for progress and spread their teachings widely. This young man Link has such great talent, whether in studying the Human Immortal Martial Path or Mechanical martial arts, he can make a difference. What if he brings a little trouble? To give up eating for fear of choking is not advisable!”

“Yes, yes, you’re right, dear!”

Seeing his wife getting more excited, Li Shuwen quickly laughed nervously, reminding her carefully, “Dear, don’t get too worked up, you mustn’t disturb your pregnancy.”

His wife rubbed her obviously swelling belly, radiating motherly affection. She glared at Li Shuwen then left the study with the little girl, who was sticking out her tongue at her father.

Now alone in the study, Li Shuwen waved his hand, using Palm Wind Skill to close study’s window. The electric light turned off, leaving the room dark.

Li Shuwen sat at his desk, his expression as somber as the dim light in the room.

His wife was correct.

The group of heretics from the Mechanical Martial Way were growing stronger, while the Human Immortal Martial Path seemed to be declining.

Waiting and hesitating wouldn’t do.

However…

Well, he himself didn’t matter much, fighting to the end was like risking his own life.

But what about his wife? What about Sisi? What about the unborn child? What about the secret disciples?

Thinking of the fate of several Human Immortal Martial Path sects and Martial Arts Schools that were destroyed by the Mechanical Martial Arts people, Li Shuwen couldn’t help but clench his fists.

He absolutely wouldn’t let his own Octagon Martial Arts School follow that path.

From tomorrow onwards, he’ll relax the criteria for choosing secret disciples, with an aim to recruit more people.

Emphasizing both quality, to cultivate a few disciples who could support the Martial Arts School, and quantity, because more hands meant more work could be done.

A quiet night fell.

The following morning came, and Link awoke promptly.

Just as he stepped outside his room, he met Brother Shi.

It appeared that Brother Shi was planning on waking him up.

Last night, after acquainting himself with his room, Brother Shi had taken him to the dining room, and they had dinner with the Master, Madam and the other senior brothers.

Master Li Shuwen set the apprenticeship ceremony for this morning.

Considering Link’s outstanding talent but lack of martial arts accomplishments, no renowned heroes or martial art masters from Jianghu are invited to witness the ceremony.

Once Link steps into the Condensation Realm, the formal disciple accepting ceremony will be held.

Of course, Link doesn’t put much emphasis on these procedures.

What he cares about is embarking on the path of cultivation in this world, unlocking his sealed Sea of Consciousness, and the power that comes with his Wizard’s Level.

“Let’s go, junior brother.”

Shi Gandang was particularly delighted to see Link getting up early to prepare.

His biggest disdain is laziness.

“Sure, big brother.”

Link showed respect by bowing before following Brother Shi towards the main hall.

Currently, Master Li has seven direct disciples. Shi Gandang being the senior brother, has reached the peak of the Condensation Realm in terms of cultivation and strength.

In due time, with the right opportunity, he would be able to step into the Normalization Realm.

By then, he would not only uphold the Octagon Martial Arts School’s reputation but also establish a branch school on his own.

The second senior sister, third, fourth, fifth senior brothers, and sixth senior brother are also accomplished in their own rights, their force varying from the early phase to the latter phase of the Condensation Realm.

The seventh junior sister is Master Li’s daughter, Li Sisi, who is about to officially start her journey in the Human Immortal Martial Path.

Link, being the youngest, ranks last as the eighth after he joined the school.

The two arrive at the main hall.

Several senior sisters and brothers arrive one after another and settle on both sides.

A moment later, Master Li, his senior companion, and Li Sisi entered the main hall.

Master Li and his companion sit in the upper seat. Li Sisis moves to sit next to the fifth senior sister.

As the senior brother, Shi Gandang is in charge of the simple master-disciple ceremony.

He solemnly read out the rules of the Octagon Martial Arts School and then sternly asked, “Link, can you abide by the rules, respect your master, and uphold the school’s reputation?”

Link replied in a serious manner, “Yes!”

“Bow!”

Upon Brother Shi’s loud command, the process continued.

Martial artists don’t bow easily.

Master Li Shuwen made it clear that no one in the Octagon Martial Arts School, including him, needs to do so. They just need to respect each other sincerely, without the concern of unnecessary formalities.

Link holds his fists over his heart and bows ninety degrees towards Master Li and his senior companion.

The second senior sister hands a tray with two cups of tea.

Brother Shi timely ordered, “Bow and serve tea!”

Link took one step forward, picked up the tea cup on the left with both hands, and respectfully offered it to Master Li.

After Master Li took a sip, he returned the tea cup to the tray.

He then picked up the tea cup on the right and offered it to his senior companion in the same manner.

After she took a sip, he put back the tea cup on the tray.

At this point, the simple master-disciple ceremony concludes.

Link successfully joined the Octagon Martial Arts School, becoming the eighth disciple based on his exceptional talent.

“Gandang, pay attention to your junior brother’s basic training and make sure it’s well grounded,” Master Li looked at his eight disciples in the hall and instructed his senior disciple. He then addressed the other disciples, “Your seventh sister and eighth brother are about to officially train in the Human Immortal Martial Path, don’t forget to assist and guide them.”

“Yes, Master!”

From the second senior sister to the sixth senior brother, they all bowed and echoed the agreement.

“Go for morning practice.”

Seeing the situation, Master Li was very satisfied and gave a hearty wave of his sleeve.

Brother Shi led the seven junior sisters and brothers out of the main hall, out of the inner court, and into the Outer Court Martial Arts Arena.

After handing over Seventh Sister Li Sisi to the second sister, Brother Shi beckons Link to the side.

“No good comes from practicing martial arts without setting a good foundation in breath control, or Gong. The Gong at the beginning of the Human Immortal Martial Path is the really the pole training,” Brother Shi told Link while showing him a horse stance and explaining, “Pay attention, this is the most basic pole training.”

Link learns from Brother Shi’s stance, poses as a horse stance, and firmly sets himself up.

Seeing Link’s effort, Brother Shi was pleased but his requirement remained high, “First, practice the basic horse stance for ten days. Once you are solid, I will teach you the Two Yin pole training.”

“Yes, Brother.”
