After telling Lin Yan to focus, Elena went behind him and poured some of her into Lin Yan from his back.
"Remember how the aura, I mean qi feels. You have to find your own qi to start your martial arts journey. Everyone's qi had a different feel to it but the overall sensation would be the same. So focus on finding the same feeling on your own."
When Elena said that Lin Yan was quite talented, she was not lying. His talent as a warrior was really quite high. So he was able to find his own aura in only an hour. Normally even a genius would need at least 6 hours to find his aura, but he was able to do it in only one hour. Elena's help also played a big role in it but without Lin Yan's own efforts it would not have been successful. Then he started to practice with the Six Sided Sea Serpent Sacred Scripture. It was definitely one of the hardest techniques to master and he would need several days to master even the easiest first stage. So after Lin Yan got a bit familiar with the technique Elena stopped him as now she was going to teach him how to properly use an axe.
Actually depending on the situation an axe could be a very hard weapon to master or a very easy one. For Lin Yan's fighting style, he mainly wanted to use the weight and power of the axe to use it as a finishing weapon, so he did not need too much complexity in his technique. And the Ocean Cleaving Divine Axe was a technique that specialised in this aspect.
Elena teleported Lin Yan close to an ocean and demonstrated the power of this technique by literally cutting the ocean in half. Lin Yan had never even dreamed of something like that. He had seen quite a few martial artists as they were not that uncommon in the middle class district, but he was sure that none of them could come close to the power that his teacher just displayed.
Elena mainly demonstrated the technique in order to let Lin Yan see what realm he was trying to reach and to give him some extra motivation. That worked out perfectly as Lin Yan got very excited about learning the technique after seeing what it was capable of doing.
Then to end the first day of the training, Elena took Lin Yan to a dark prison-like place. Lin Yan was curious as to why Elena brought him here and Elena replied -
"Whenever you want to gain power, the most important qualification you need to have is willpower in my opinion. If your heart is not strong enough, you will never be able to grow very strong, even if you're the most talented person in the whole world. And the path to reach the top will always be filled with dead bodies. You needed to climb over a mountain of dead in order to reach the pinnacle.
I know that you have never killed anyone before. So today I wanted to give you a taste of killing. I will not force you. The people trapped here were the people who wanted to kidnap you and your sister. And I will leave their fate to you. After seeing that if you don't want to kill them I will not force you to do so. I will respect your opinion. You're still very young and definitely do not deserve to face such choices. But I also understand that you want to become stronger as soon as possible. So for that you need to make a choice. That is the room where those guys are locked up. I will leave the decision to you. Don't worry and think carefully. Whatever you choose, remember that your teacher will always be there to support you."
Elena pointed at one of the rooms and patted Lin Yan's head with a gentle smile. He was an intelligent boy and he understood that now it was time for him to make a very important decision. If he wanted to go further as a martial artist then he needed to strengthen not only his body but also his mind and heart.
Then Lin Yan opened the door of the room and went inside. There he saw about 10 people tied up in chains. He could see some familiar faces among them. They were the people who were keeping an eye on him. He made sure to remember their faces as he needed to avoid them at any cost.
He then calmed his mind and thought about what these beasts would have done to her baby sister. The more he thought the angrier he became. At first, he was still a little bit nervous as it would be his first time getting the taste of violence and he was only 12 years old. But now the only thing he had left in his mind was anger towards these people who wanted to harm him and his little baby sister.
His next set of actions were very clear. So clear that it even surprised Lin Yan himself. He quickly took out the temporary axe that Elena had given him and beheaded the first person who was in front. As his mouth was blocked he was unable to even scream and died instantly. Even after seeing that gruesome scene, Lin Yan did not stop. He swung his axe again and again and beheaded all ten of the criminals without stopping even once in less than a minute. Even Elena was impressed.
Even after killing so many living humans, Lin Yan did not show any sign of grief or sadness. He just maintained a cool expression throughout the whole process. Elena could clearly see that type of emotion he was feeling right now but still asked him mainly because she wanted him to vent a bit -
"How are you feeling ?"
This was a simple question but was enough to change the cool expression on Lin Yan's face. But he did not show a sad or crying expression but his face had a bewildered expression -
"Master, actually I was quite a bit nervous when I entered the room but now I don't feel anything. Even after killing all of them I am not feeling any happiness or sadness. If I was happy for killing my enemy or sad for killing a fellow living being, I could understand it. But I don't understand why I am not feeling anything at all ?"
"That's because after making up your mind and strengthening your determination, you subconsciously did not put much value on these already defeated enemies. That's good and bad at the same time so you need to be careful about not underestimating anyone after defeating them once. Don't worry, it's just who you are. It is not a bad thing."
Now Lin Yan heaved a sigh of relief as he thought for a moment that his brain might have some problem for not feeling anything after his first killing. But after Elena said that it was fine, he instantly let go of his worry. He believed Elena with his all, so if she said that there was no problem then there was no problem. Elena spoke up once more -
"Now with that the first day of your training came to an end. You did very well on the first day and I'm quite satisfied. Just keep up the hard work and you will definitely become strong. Now I have a last gift for you before we end the day."
Then Elena took out a box wrapped in gift papers and handed it over to Lin Yan.
"Open it."
It was the first time in his life that he was given a gift in such a fashion and he found it to be quite noble. So he happily opened the box and a large but beautiful axe appeared before him.
The axe was deep blue in colour and almost looked black. On the handle of the axe a large serpentine figure was coiling around it. It was a double sided axe and the sides were very large. The whole axe was releasing a suppressed aura of danger.
After touching the axe, Lin Yan felt that the axe suited him to an astonishing degree. As if this axe was made only for him. And this was actually the truth. Elena used the power of time acceleration to create this axe today only and it was heavily customized to perfectly suit Lin Yan.
"The name of this axe is "Nepseidon". It is a divine artifact that you can use for all your life. This is also one of the weapons that could be upgraded and will grow up alongside you. Take good care of it. I made it myself. So if you neglect it then I will punish you."
"Thank you, Master. I will cherish it for all my life."
Then the teacher and student duo returned to the dilapidated house of Lin Yan. When Lin Yan was busy with practising the scripture, Elena had already visited Lin Yue and had given her some games to play. She also used a cloning technique to spend some time with the cute but lonely girl.
As soon as Lin Yan entered the house, he was tightly hugged by his baby sister. He felt very warm in his heart and hugged his sister back. Then after both of them were satisfied they started to prepare their essentials as today they were going to leave the house.
From now on they will leave with Elena in her own house and Elena wanted to directly register them as the inhabitants of the high end district so she decided to take them to her house through a proper route and not by her teleportation.
And just like that the brother and sister became the residents of the high end district and came under the protection of the special law of the high end district.
