Chapter 10: I Am Shuya, The Sword God

  I stared at the purple-robed youth in amazement, he looked at me without any tension, quietly looking at me, extremely calm, I was their enemy after all, yet he didn't show any fear of being killed by me.

  "Great hero, please accept us as your apprentices. We will be very good disciples. Our talent is also very good and we have a strong determination. If you accept us as your apprentices, you will definitely be satisfied. We will also bring glory to you..."

  "Halt!" I shouted, turning my head to look at the two bald-headed youngsters who were gaping with their mouths open, wanting to say something but not daring to. What's going on? These two guys actually want me to be their master! Ha, not bad, I haven't even had a disciple in this world yet (You're only six years old, who would want you as a master?). Looking at these two guys' innate fire-attribute bodies, it seems that their life force is also higher than ordinary people. I'll take them on, maybe they can earn some light for me in the future, and there will be someone to serve me on the road ahead. Not bad, I'll take them on.

  "You two want to join my Tianxin Sect? It's not impossible, it mainly depends on your luck. Actually, it's just a matter of checking your moral character, for example, whether you respect your elders or not." I looked at the two of them with a serious expression.

  "Yes, Master, we are very respectful of the Master. If the Master tells us to go east, we will definitely go east; if the Master tells us to go west, we will definitely go west. When the Master drinks tea, we pour water for him. When the Master sleeps, we stand guard at the door..." The two bald heads glistened in the sunlight, and I found myself quite liking these two young monks. They were fierce and bold when fighting, and they looked up to me with such admiration... Their training was also extremely diligent. They had both respect and filial piety towards their Master - not bad, not bad at all.

  "Well, it's not bad, I'll just have to make do with you all. Master, I rarely accept apprentices, and you are my first batch of disciples. You must work hard and perform well in the future, got it?"

  "Yes, Master, Master, how many people does our Tianxin Sect have now? Is it more than Shaolin?" The two senior disciples looked at me expectantly. After seeing my martial arts skills, they assumed that my sect must be a large one and had already begun to take pride in having such a big sect themselves.

  Alas, this world doesn't have the Tian Xin Sect. Isn't the Tian Xin Sect only me? Hey, I established the Tian Xin Sect in this world, and I'm not the founding ancestor? Even if the seniors of my sect in the immortal realm find out, it's no big deal. Am I not expanding a branch for the Tian Xin Sect?!

  "This, this is our Tianxin Sect, I'm the only one left, and I'm the founding master! You two will also be the elders of Tianxin Sect in the future." I looked at my two senior disciples, I don't want to see them not giving me face.

  "Master, really? We are the elders of Tianxin Sect, haha, we are also elders now, haha......" My lovely disciple is extremely delighted.

  "Master, what's your title in the martial arts world? We had someone who was known as 'Invincible Divine Fist', but he was later defeated by someone called 'Heavenly Flying Immortal'. What about you, are you even more formidable than them?" My two disciples started to probe me.

  "Master, I am the Sword God - Shui Yu, much more powerful than those people. I'm almost on par with the top ten masters of the continent, humph!" I had no choice but to use my title from my previous life, adding "Sword God" in front of it. To be honest, it still sounds pretty cool.

  "Master is so powerful, Master's father must also be a hero of his generation, this is called 'a tiger father has no inferior son'! Am I right, Master?" said the slightly taller bald-headed one.

  Father, father, haha...... He is a hero of his generation, and not just an ordinary hero.

  I just lost my good mood because of those two kids. Father, hero, I bitterly smile to the sky. Just talking about giving up on me, his own son, for the sake of the family's interests, he can be called a great hero, an unparalleled great hero.

  "Hahaha...... My father is a great hero, an unparalleled great hero!" I shouted to the sky, a burst of sword energy shot up into the air, startling all the birds in the mountains.

  "Master, Master!" My tall apprentice whispered, he also knew that his previous words were wrong.

  My heart slowly calmed down. I looked at the two slightly frightened apprentices and knew that the sword energy had scared them earlier.

  "I'm fine, I just thought of something earlier, it's none of your business." I looked at my two disciples and said reassuringly. I didn't want to create distance between me and my disciples because of this.

  "I still don't know your names, what are they?" I asked my two apprentices.

  "Master, my name is Li Da, and he's my twin brother Li Er. We've always wanted to learn advanced martial arts, but before we didn't have a good master, only learning from those guys at the martial arts schools. The one who taught us for the longest time was that 'Invincible Divine Fist' who's already dead. After his death, we continued to practice on our own, and later we wandered with Little Yu and his father to this mountain stronghold. To escape our enemies' pursuit, we stayed here." said the slightly taller one.

  It seems that the slightly shorter one is Li Er. "From now on, you will be the senior brother, and Li Er will be the second junior brother." I said to them. Suddenly, I remembered the purple-clothed youth again.

  I turned around and looked at the purple-clothed young man who had left a deep impression on me from the beginning. I was just about to speak when my eldest apprentice, Li Da, said:

  "Master, he is our little Yu brother. Little Yu brother is very powerful, proficient in various martial arts and formations. His father, Zhang Da Shu, was the chief sculptor of the national first jade store "Bao Yu Xiang". However, later on, due to internal conflicts within "Bao Yu Xiang", Zhang Da Shu supported the eldest son, but the second son sent someone to assassinate the eldest son. This matter was unexpectedly discovered by Zhang Da Shu, and the second son sent people to hunt him down. It is said that the eldest son has already been killed, but the second son has not stopped hunting us, so we can only stay here."

  I glanced at the purple-clothed youth and smiled, saying: "You're that little brother of Xiao Yu, aren't you?"

  "I am Zhang Yu." Zhang Yu still had a cool expression on his face.

  "Please accept me as your disciple." Zhang Yu had just been cool and calm, but now he immediately knelt down and asked me to accept him as my disciple. I looked at him, his talent didn't seem very good, his body attribute was water-based, and he could only practice the Xuan Yin mantra. But for some reason, I really liked him.

  "Tell me, why do you want to make me your master? Your qualifications are ordinary, and it seems like you haven't practiced any martial arts before. What makes you think I should take you on as my disciple?" I asked Zhang Yu calmly.

  Zhang Yu looked at me, not making a sound, and after a while, he said: "For my father, for protecting my father, during the repeated escapes, I could only be a burden, hoping that the two older brothers would protect my father. Originally, I should have been the one to protect my father, but instead, I was always being protected by them. And yet, my father got hurt in one of those escapes, trying not to let me get hurt, and I really hate myself for not knowing martial arts, for not being able to protect my own father." At this point, Zhang Yu's face was already streaming with tears.

  Li Da and Li Er were extremely heartbroken seeing their usually strong younger brother Xiao Yu like this.

  "Xiao Yu, don't say that, we've long been like biological brothers, your father is my father, don't say that." Li Da and Li Er also comforted Zhang Yu.

  Protecting his father, his father abandoned his own life for him, using his body to block the knife for him, haha, and what about my father?

  "Alright, alright, just because you said you protected Father, I'll take you as my disciple. You are now my third disciple." I said loudly.

  "Thank you, Master." Zhang Yu solemnly knocked three loud heads.

  "Get up and come with me to see if this Mountain King has made a good decision." I laughed and walked towards that Li Si.

  "Li Si, have you made up your mind? Speak quickly!" I said harshly to Li Si.

  "Great hero, why are you still asking me? These few guys have all taken you as their master, they all know where I hide my treasure." Li Si said with a helpless expression.

  "How did you know about the small safe hidden in the secret room under the bed?" Zhang Yu asked Li Si with a smile.

  "Ah, you, how did you know about my little treasure? I haven't told anyone, ah, heavens! I really don't have a single coin left. Please, big brothers, leave some coins for me, please...!" Li Si started crying.

  "Master, some of the little soldiers have started returning to their stronghold. Let's hurry up, or they'll get there before us." Zhang Yu reminded me and said.

  I took a look and indeed several guys started slipping away to the mountain, I smiled, Li Da, Li Er you two go with Zhang Yu first, I'll be right there.

  "Alright, Master, we three will go first. Don't worry, we definitely won't let those little rascals take away a single silver coin." Li Da loudly responded.

  Watching them leave, I walked towards Yu and the others.

  "Rain sister." I immediately transformed back into my original form, "Those few days when I left the Zhang residence, I met a fairy who taught me a magical skill that allows me to change. That's why I didn't come back for seven consecutive days."

  "Oh, no wonder you haven't come back for seven days, and the Zhang family's power hasn't found you either." Yu Jie immediately nodded as if she had suddenly realized something. Wang Ge and the others also looked like they understood, not because they were easy to deceive, but mainly because the Zhang family's power was too great. The Zhang family searched for me for seven days and still couldn't find me, so my explanation is quite plausible."

  "Go get my first paycheck. This is my first time earning money, although it's by snatching, but it's still money! Go!" I shouted.

  "It's gone, the money's been taken!" Wolf Blade big brother is only ten years old, not like me whose mental age is very old and already very mature. But everyone was still quite excited, who wouldn't be happy to get the money so easily?

  Five people walked up the mountain in a line.
