Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

(AN: Tell me If I write something wrong, it 2 AM right now, so I'm very sleepy)

--- Chapter 9 --- ​​

After Yunlong got the wooden sword, he and his mother went back to their wooden house and had short lunch, which is grilled spirit beast meats, and it tastes heavenly.

In the backyard of the sleepy fairy inn, Yunlong is firmly standing on the ground while breathing peacefully.

"Fleeting Shadow..." Yunlong muttered while staring at the black wooden sword in his hands.

'Open my status.' He thought as a black screen appeared in front of his face.

[Opening the status...]

[...]

[Name: Yunlong]

[Age: 4 years old]

[Title: Reincarnator]

[Martial Soul: not yet awakened]

[Innate Skills: Sharingan, White Light Grace, Mortal Sin: Gluttony]

[Skills: Serene Water Art(M), Throwing Art(C), Shadow Steps(C), Iron Fist(A), Cooking(B)]

[Practiced: Serene Water Art, Throwing Art, Shadow Steps, Iron Fist Technique]

[System Points: 169.000 Sp]

(AN: Mastery Level: B>A>C>M or Basic > Advanced > Completed > Mastered)

"Well, pretty good, I guess..." Yunlong commented before nodded his head as he progressed much better than last year.

In these two years, he's doing pretty much the same task, which he got from his mother, and the quest is pretty much only about training and learning.

Well, he only had to run around the house a few laps until Bibi Dongxue tell him to stop, which is every time she saw his breathing become disordered.

The quest doesn't give him too many system points, but he surprisingly gains more than he thought.

Sometimes, his mother would also challenge him to study, leading him to gain a few additional rewards, which are Master Throwing Art, Shadow Steps, and Iron Fist.

After he got these skills, he instantly fused the throwing arts into one.

He also learned the shadow steps, which is a movement technique, and with this technique, he's able to train his agility, making his body more agile.

As for the iron fist, well as its name implied, this technique makes his fist harder than a rock and strong as iron.

But to increase the mastery of the iron fist skill, he needs to punch something hard, which is a tree or a rock.

"At least the pain and efforts are paying me off." Yunlong sighed as he could raise his iron fist mastery to an advanced level.

'Show me, Sharingan and White Light Grace unsealing time countdown.' He thought as a digital countdown appeared beside the status's screen.

[00:06:09]

'Six minutes and nine seconds before I reached four years old, huh...' Yunlong thought before shifted his gaze to the skies.

Yunlong took out two books from a cloth bag as he read them one by one before hearing Neo's monotonous voice in his head.

[You have learned Sakura One-Sword Style]

[You have learned Thunder Severing Sword Art]

'Open Fusion Function.' Yunlong thought as another screen appeared in front of him.

[Activating the enhanced system function...]

[...]

[Activated]

'Fuse, Serene Water Art, Sakura One-Sword Style, and Thunder Severing Sword Art.' He added while staring at the fusion screen.

[Fusion...]

[Serene Water Art, Sakura One-Sword Style, Thunder Severing Sword Art.]

[Cost: 100.000 Sp]

[Do you want to fuse three skills into one]

[Y/N]

'I feel a little bit hurt, but it's necessary...' Yunlong thought before nodded his head and muttered, "Yes."

[Processing...]

[...]

[Success]

[You have gained Serene Sword Arts]

'Hmm, let's see the fusion of these skills...' Yunlong thought while checking the serene sword arts.

[Name: Serene Sword Arts]

[Type: Sword Arts]

[Grade: Peak-Epic]

[Description: A combination of three different art, consisting of breathing technique and sword moves, the serene sword arts is using a breathing technique as the foundation, which enhanced every sword moves]

"Okay..." Yunlong muttered with a nod before a vast amount of information about serene sword arts suddenly appeared in his head.

"Uugh, my head." He groaned while clutching his head.

After a few seconds, we could see Yunlong released a sigh of relief before calmly grasping the fleeting shadow.

"Well... The result is better than I expected." He commented as his mother walked toward him with a worried expression.

"Yunlong! Did something happens!" Bibi Dongxue asked while grabbing his hand as she starts to check his condition.

"I can hear you groaning a few seconds ago." She worriedly added, which brings out a helpless smile on Yunlong's face.

"I'm okay... I'm just feeling frustrated because of these sword arts," Yunlong responded while released a sigh as he handed the sakura one-sword style books to his mother.

"Hmm? Is there something wrong with this sword arts?" Bibi Dongxue tilted her head as she read the book and frowned.

"This sword arts is incomplete..." She said while shifting her gaze to Yunlong.

"Yeah, even though not complete, I can still learn it, though," Yunlong responded while raising the fleeting shadow into the air.

He inhaled a significant amount of oxygen into his lung as he slashed out the wooden sword, which released a muffled sound.

"Attack me," Yunlong said, which makes Bibi Dongxue frowned, but she still attacked him in the end as she lightly yet fastly launched a falling chop with her hand.

'First Sword: Early Summer Rain.' Yunlong thought before raised his sword toward his mother's hand and then thrust his wooden sword toward her throat.

'Fast?' Bibi Dongxue thought before trying to slap the wooden sword.

Well, to her surprise, Yunlong suddenly twisted his wrist and once again thrust his sword to her throat.

*Swooosh!*

Bibi Dongxue smiled while tilted her head to the side and successfully dodged the sword thrust.

'Second Sword: Falling Thunder Chop.' Yunlong thought while abruptly slashing his sword vertically while leaving a sound like a thunderclap.

*Pa!*

Bibi Dongxue raised her fingers and caught the wooden sword before opened her mouth and asked, "The first one is the sakura one-sword style, but the second one is the other sword arts, right?"

"Mm, you are right," Yunlong responded with a nod, "But, It's not over."

'Third Sword: Scattering Thunder Petals.' Yunlong pulled his sword before dashed toward his mother.

Yunlong's silhouette is scattering around as sword slashes appear in many directions.

'I see... Yunlong combined another technique, huh.' Bibi Dongxue thought while calmly feels sharp breezes approaching her.

'It's a good technique, but his experiences and skill are not enough to even touch me.' She added before her silhouette disappeared and completely dodged all the sword slash.

"It's over-." Bibi Dongxue said with a smile on her face.

"Not yet!" Yunlong responded while appeared in front of her.

'Ehh? Yunlong's eyes?!' Bibi Dongxue thought in wonder when she saw her son's eyes turned crimson red with two dots rotated around its pupils.

'Fourth Sword: Piercing Rain Drops.' Yunlong thought as he is not aware that his eyes had turned into Sharingan.

He placed his sword upward before thrusting his sword and leaving afterimages of sword thrust in the airs.

Bibi Dongxue is easily dodging every sword thrusts with a simple movement as Yunlong's Sharingan is scanning Bibi Dongxue's move.

"Got you," Yunlong muttered while thrusting his sword toward his mother's throat.

"Nope, that's enough." Bibi Dongxue replied while catching the sword with her hand.

*Bam!*

A muffled sound got produced when she caught Yunlong's wooden sword.

"Huuu..." Yunlong released a heavy breath as his eyes turned back.

"What is the name of your new technique." Bibi Dongxue asked.

"Serene Sword Arts," Yunlong replied as he feels a little bit exhausted.

"Well, It's a good technique." Bibi Dongxue commented while staring at her son, "But, you lack combat experiences as you wasting too much energy in every step."

"So, I will start your training from now on."
