Chapter 1476: Chapter 1474: Instruction

In the small village near Fuyuan Mountain.

Yang Cao changed into a loose casual outfit, glanced toward the basement, and asked, "How’s it going? Don’t let it melt!"

Night Fire came out of the basement, clapped his hands, and said, "Don’t worry! It can’t get out! In a couple of days, once things outside have relaxed a bit, I’ll transport it away!"

Yang Chen nodded slightly, "How is the tracking device?"

Night Fire grinned, "Placed it on a touring band’s van, that’ll keep them busy looking!"

Yang Chen smiled, glancing toward Fuyuan Mountain, "What about them? Any intel?"

Night Fire shook his head, "Not yet, they just said to wait a bit longer."

"Wait, huh?" Yang Chen’s gaze was deep, staring at Fuyuan Mountain as he pondered quietly.

He was worried, but he also believed in Ye Xin’s power, no accidents would happen.

It’s just... he hadn’t seen her in a long time, really wanted to visit her.

At the Fuyuan Mountain base, Ye Xin was also looking at the sofa, eyes full of longing...

...

"Mr. Yang!" Imano Genso came out from the small house, bowed respectfully to Yang Chen, and said, "Next, should we go provoke the other factions?"

Yang Chen looked at Imano Genso, smiling as he asked, "You seem eager to provoke them, huh?"

Imano Genso put on a serious face and said earnestly, "Yes! To me, these factions have been at ease for so long, they’ve rotted from the inside, completely losing the true spirit of the Samurai Way! Only by breaking them down completely can we rebuild the true Bei Hai Country Samurai Way and revive its spirit!"

The current Imano Genso had completely transformed, like a savior wanting to cleanse Bei Hai Country, transforming it into the utopia he envisioned.

Yang Chen smiled, "I won’t go challenge them anymore, I’ve understood the power of your Bei Hai Country, challenging more has no meaning."

"Is that so..." Imano Genso seemed disappointed.

"But!" Yang Chen looked at him, "If you want to change the status quo, you have to do it yourself!"

"Myself?" Imano Genso looked doubtful, shaking his head, "I can’t do it, I’m not even a match for the heirs of ordinary factions. I’m just an outer sect disciple, my swordsmanship is terrible."

Yang Chen smiled, "What do you think of my swordsmanship?"

"You!" Imano Genso became excited, staring at Yang Chen with hope, "Do you want to... take me as a disciple?"

"No!" Yang Chen shook his head, "I have no intention of taking a disciple! Plus, what I want to teach you doesn’t belong to my heritage. Advanced stuff, I can’t teach you, it’s too short a time, you couldn’t learn it, and I don’t have time. As for what I teach you, how much you can learn and whether you can achieve your dreams depends on your own fortune!"

Imano Genso wore a serious expression, knelt down with a thud, kowtowing to Yang Chen, "Even if you don’t want to take me as a disciple, in my eyes, by teaching me swordsmanship, you are my master! Please accept my bow! I will work hard and won’t let you down!"

Yang Chen looked at Imano Genso, nodding slightly, "Stand up!"

Imano Genso stood up, respectfully standing by Yang Chen’s side.

Yang Chen took out a dagger and handed it to Imano Genso, "Go chop two wooden swords!"

"Yes!" Imano Genso didn’t ask any questions, took the dagger, and turned to chop the trees.

Yang Chen nodded slightly, he liked Imano Genso’s attitude.

However, Night Fire couldn’t understand and asked softly to the side, "Boss, are you really planning to teach him?"

Yang Chen smiled slightly, "Why not? Let the people of Bei Hai Country handle Bei Hai Country’s affairs, isn’t that good?"

"But... aren’t you afraid of nurturing a threat? In history, there have been many such things between Flame Country and Bei Hai Country!" Night Fire kindly reminded.

Although he wasn’t from Flame Country, because of Yang Chen, he had some understanding of its history, knowing the historical grudges between Flame Country and Bei Hai Country.

Yang Chen shook his head, "When you’re nurturing a threat, you need to distinguish, first, the nurtured is a tiger, and then the nurturer is a person! Just an ordinary person! If you’re holding a gun in your hand, can he hurt you at all?"

Night Fire fully understood, nodding slightly, "That’s good then."

He was merely reminding Yang Chen’s actions and wouldn’t obstruct his decisions.

Yang Chen looked up towards the direction of Fuyuan Mountain, murmuring, "Anyway, we’re also waiting, so let’s just wait!"

It wasn’t until evening that Imano Genso returned with two wooden swords.

Although the two wooden swords seemed bumpy and somewhat misshapen, at least they resembled swords.

Seeing Yang Chen scrutinizing the two swords, Imano Genso felt a bit embarrassed, "Mr. Yang! I’m very sorry, I could only make swords like these, not up to your standards!"

Yang Chen waved his hand with a smile, "It’s fine, to make them this way is quite good already."

For someone like Imano Genso, using a dagger to make such a thing was already quite good, considering he wasn’t professionally trained in woodcarving.

Yang Chen waved the sword a couple of times, felt it was alright, and tossed one to Imano Genso, "Now, I’ll teach you the basics first!"

"Yes!" Imano Genso was very excited and very serious.

Yang Chen swung the wooden sword, saying to Imano Genso, "Come chop at me."

"Yes!" Imano Genso thought Yang Chen was testing his skills, so he took a deep breath and struck fiercely at Yang Chen.

Swoosh!

Before the strike came down, Yang Chen’s figure had already vanished.

Splat!

Yang Chen slapped Imano Genso on the head with a single strike, "Wrong! Again!"

Imano Genso was shocked because he couldn’t even see Yang Chen’s movements before finding him behind himself.

He became even more focused.

"Heigh!" Imano Genso used his full strength and slashed at Yang Chen once again.

But this time, it was more direct.

He just felt something underfoot, and he tumbled to the ground, rolling far like a gourd.

Yang Chen looked at him indifferently.

Imano Genso clumsily got up from the ground, not daring to look at Yang Chen.

"Is this all you can do?" Yang Chen asked indifferently.

Imano Genso bowed his head, "I’m very sorry!"

"No need to apologize to me! This bit of skill won’t save your compatriots; the one you should apologize to isn’t me!" Yang Chen said indifferently.

Imano Genso clenched his fists, saying gravely, "Please, Mr. Yang, guide me!"

Yang Chen nodded slightly, speaking to Imano Genso, "Let me see you slash."

"Yes!" Imano Genso immediately assumed a stance, in the standard Bei Hai Country Samurai sword-slashing style.

Swoosh!

The slash was performed, and the posture was very standard.

Yet Yang Chen shook his head, "Wrong!"

Imano Genso looked at Yang Chen in confusion.

"Your intentions are too easy to read! It’s too slow and lacks power! From now on, practice slashing ten thousand times, and you can rest after completing the practice!" Yang Chen said, turning to leave, completely ignoring Imano Genso.

Imano Genso hesitated for a moment, his gaze becoming determined, and he began slashing, "One! Two! Three! Four..."
