When Ming Yue woke up she had a bowl of water near her head and with no courtesy drank it in one gulp. Once she the water penetrated her body her hunger and thirst disappeared as if she had never been hungry.While contemplating on the miraculous water, the scenery suddenly changed.
"After drinking l"eau de vie, your hunger and thirst should have been quenched now we will on your basics as a martial artist. You need to be able to fight with any weapon as if they were an extension of yourself like you must be able to fight with your bare hands. We will only stop once you will have mastered every weapon on this shelf."
Once Lao w.a.n.g had finished his speech a wall appeared and on it various weapon could be seen and even things she would never have thought to be a weapon were also present like this scarf for example.
---------------------------------
Two years later
A lithe woman in purple blouse and purple pant was dancing with a whip in her hand. The woman was not really tall, her curly brown hair was dancing in the wind, the whip in her hand seemed to be an extension of her arms not an extremely difficult weapon to control.
"Congratulations little girl, I thought it would have taken you more time to master all those existing weapons and the martials arts moves" said Lao w.a.n.g while caressing his long beard.
He really appreciated the effort of this stinky little girl, during those two years all she did was sleeping and exercising.
He really did not think that she would have mastered all the weapon on his wall, he was even more surprised when he saw her mastery of the scarf. This stinky girl was arrogant; however, she did have the capital to be arrogant.
"Now that you have mastered the weapon and martials arts, you will need to be in symbiose with the elements"
Long Ming Yue looked at him differently, during those two years she had come to understand that the old decrepit could hear whatever she was think and learned how restrict her mental opinion and to think in English while letting her eyes and facial expression say everything for her. And now she was giving him her "WTF dude" look.
"Elements! Do you mean water, air, fire and earth?" she asked
"No" he answered calmly during those years they had come to a mutual understanding, so he would reduce how he tormented her mentally. "What I mean by the elements is the earth, wood, water, fire and metal" The young woman looked at him seeming to say "Ahhh I see".
"Those five elements are at the origin of everything and understanding them to be able to borrow their strength is the key to be a force to be reckoned"
While talking he showed her the possibilities that would be available to her once her understanding of those elements will be enough.
When presenting all the aspect of the earth Lao w.a.n.g created a mount, with the wood he created a flower champ, with the water an iced bridge, with the fire he melted the iced bridge and lastly to demonstrate the metal element he hardened his body.
"Those are the example of what you can do with those elements, to go further you can implements those elements into medicine and martials arts, for now you have to learn how to borrow strength from the five elements and how to control this borrowed strength." Instructed Lao w.a.n.g.
"Sit on the ground" he sat in the lotus position then Ming Yue followed.
"Close your eyes and feel the earth under you, feel it like it was a part of you for that you have to abandon your inhibition and become one with it"
"How can I be one with something as vast as the earth, did he become senile" Lao w.a.n.g severely gazed at her "well I can only try, you danm son of a turtle"
Time flew and nearly three years later Long Ming Yue could borrow strength from the five elements and using them into her martial arts and medicine.
