Chapter 11:Thousand Blossom
Lady
"Are you Mr Lionel?"
Lionel
"Yeah. You are?"
Sam
"Just call me Sam. Master Han is waiting for you at his mansion. He asked me to come fetch you."
Lionel
"Oh ok."
They went into a car outside the airport, and reached a big mansion.
Lionel
"Wow this mansion is big!"
Sam
"Master Han's wife, Jane, is a very successful businesswoman."
Lionel
"I see."
They went inside the mansion while Sam guided Lionel into the living room.A tanned man was sitting down there.
Sam
"Here he is."
Han
"Thank you. You may leave now."
Sam left.
Han
"So you are the one sent by Xia."
Lionel
"Yes. Nice to meet you, Master Han."
Han
"Save the formalities. Let's get to business."
Master Han brought Lionel to a room underground filled with dart boards.
Han
"I heard from your master that you were gifted."
Lionel
"I'm not too sure either, but I've tested it out before."
Han
"Anyway, I was asked to teach you so let's get started."
Master Han begin to concentrate. He then shot many small beams of Ki with great speed to each and every darts board in the room!
Lionel
"WOW!"
Han
"This is called "Thousand Blossom" .A skill that I invented to hit as many targets you want as long as your Ki amount is enough. I shall teach you the techniques to control the Ki for this skill."
After a series of teaching and demostrating, Lionel is ready for his first try.
Han
"Hit 10 targets first. Remember the things I taught you."
Lionel start to concentrate and then shot the 10 Ki beams toward the targets.Lionel was kind of disappointed as not all 10 hit the targets.
Han
"You already did a good job. Being able to shoot all these targets on the first try is impressive. You just need more practice. It is true that you're really gifted."
Lionel
"Yes Master! Thank you."
For the past few days, Lionel was training hard at Master Han's mansion .One night, Jane and
Han was talking in the living room and Lionel overheard it.
Jane
"Isn't he a hardworking boy?"
Han
"He sure is, Xia found himself a good disciple. I always thought that he have good eyes for
potential youngsters."
Jane
"Is he the one you guys are looking for?"
Han
"I don't know, maybe."
At this moments,Lionel felt so honoured yet he had a lot of questions to ask. But he decided not
to think too much and to make decisions only when the time comes.
After 2 weeks, Lionel finished his training. He successfully mastered "Thousands Blossom".
Master Han and Jane sent him off and gave him another letter.
Han
"Take this and go to China to find Master Wei Liang."
Lionel
"Ok Master. Thank you for the hospitality."
Jane
"I've asked Sam to bring you to the airport and the flight is already prepared for you."
Lionel
"Thanks Madam!"
Jane
"I'm still quite young you know..."
Lionel
"Oh sorry, Mrs Han"
Jane
"Haha, alright then. Take care boy."
While in the car, Sam suddenly talked to Lionel.......
