Chapter 19: A new day

nSleep is one of the best things in the world. Even if I didn't need power and strength, I would still cultivate just to live longer and sleep more.
nDon't get me wrong. I am not a lazy bum. I sleep only on nights and I sleep for 6 or 7 hours but that 6 or 7 hours is the **. From my personal experience, the more you sleep the sleepier you will get so you have to balance your sleep to be able to have a good sleep and don't get ** faced from sleeping for too long. believe me, it can happen.
nSo yeah, I love my sleeping time, and this is something that I won't move in my schedule for anything no matter how important it is.
nNow, imagine my shock when my body clock woke me up at 4 AM when I only had 4 hours of sleep.
nThe worst part is that Li Huang's body has got used to getting up at 4 AM when he sleeps at midnight, without a problem whatsoever.
nI have read all sorts of transmigration stories and novels in my past life, but not even one of them discussed the issue of your body clock getting **ed up and in turn, you getting **ed up.
nWho cares about trying to play as the 'previous host of this body' when you can't even have your **ing sleep? I am so pissed off that I don't give a ** about the MC, world, and any of these horse **s…
nLook, my inner animal is a Koala so the fact that I want only my 6 hours back is not excessive at all! For your interest a Koala sleep for up to 18-20 hours each day.
nNow I have a body that is set on 4 hours of sleep and I can't do ** about it.
n'Deep breath, deep breath…' I tried to calm down.
n'Well this is how it is, nothing that I do would change it.' I shook my head. 'Well, with 4 hours of sleep I am fully recharged so I can guess that in this world these 4 hours are enough for me and more sleep would only make me sleepier…' I gave myself some reasons for this change.
nIf you somehow till now didn't get the memo; I am a little short-tempered.
nPutting my changed sleep pattern aside I thought about the daily plans that Li Huang would go through.
nAfter waking up at 4 AM he would do some basic sword training for 2 hours, after that he would eat breakfast.
nAfter breakfast, he would go and meet Yuan Jia and Hu Anjing. This was something that they would do every day to know about their daily plans or to give support where needed…
nAfter that, he would go back to his sword training with higher intensity. Usually, he would train with Hu Anjing and sometimes with Yuan Jia.
nThe training sessions with Hu Anjing are one of the most competitive things that Li Huang has experienced in his life.
nHu Anjing even keeps a book about the results of these spars and me and Yuan Jia also have our version of the book. When we want to check the results, we would accept the result that is reported in at least more than half of the records meaning it is reported in two books so that no one would be able to cheat.
nA
/N: and that my guys, is how blockchain works in simple terms…
nI still don't get why would anyone want to cheat in this, but oh well, this makes the competition more fun.
nAfter his training and eating lunch, he would go to train in his martial arts and hone his skills.
nAs I told you before, making a good mental image of a move would make it so that you can execute it faster, and ultimately after a long time of training and exactitude, you would be able to use the move without making a mental image with a chant.
nThis coupled with Li Huang using one of the best martial arts and techniques, makes his skill training more important because the more fearsome a technique is, the harder you have to train to master it.
nAfter that, he will do some cultivation and for rest of the day, he would do as he wants.
nOf course, these plans won't be followed if there is something more important like the ancient sword mark that I comprehended yesterday.
nGetting out of my room in my training clothes, I walked to my basic training setup.
nAh! Let me remind you again that it is basic from a young master's standard so don't take me too seriously, it might be a top-notch training setup.
nGetting my sword in my hand I started my morning training and immersed myself in the feeling of being one with the sword.
nBefore I know it time passed and I had to get ready to see Yuan Jia and Hu Anjing.
nTaking a quick shower, I was on my way to see them.
nOn the way, I took out my communication device and contacted uncle Aram.
n
"What is it brat?
" he grunted.
n
"What do you mean by what is it, old man? Didn't I commission you to find someone?
" I retorted.
nWithout giving him time to answer I continued.
n
"*sigh* old man, It seems the old age is getting to you and you already forgot about it. I suggest that you give your position to a successor while your mind can still make a sane decision…
" **ing with this old man never gets old. I know for a fact that even in the past, Li Huang would enjoy this too.
n
"Fuck you brat! It is less than a day that you told me about it and you want me to search the whole world! Even with teleportation formations, there are some places that still didn't get the news about this mission. Also, what commission? You didn't give me anything for it!
" he was so angry that I could swear that the communication device was getting hotter.
n'Nonetheless, it was refreshing…' I thought to myself.
n
"Okay, okay. I was playing with you old man. I needed a little thing this time.
" I told him. One has to know when to stop and now was the right time.
nAfter a few seconds of silence, he started talking.
n
"What is it?
" he asked
"This time I won't be doing a worldwide information gathering for you…
" he added hastily.
nI hardly suppressed my laugh. Well, I can't say that he is wrong to add this condition.
n
"Don't worry old man. This time I have a local task for you.
" I internally smirked.
n
"…local task?
" uncle Aram asked unsurely.
n
"Yes. local as inside of the heavenly sword sect…
" I told him casually.
n
"…I don't have any inform—
" he began to speak but I cut him short.
n
"Don't be like this, I know you have informants in all the holy lands. And don't worry I have nothing against it, if I could I would do the same to ensure my gains in the long term.
" I told him so that he knows that I have no intention of using this information against him.
nBut how did I know? In reality, I didn't know and bet on my intuition about this. How can the best information gathering guild in the world don't know the inner working of seven big sects that could decide the future of the whole world? It seems my bet played out.
n
"Brat, if you were not like a nephew to me I would have killed you.
" He told me straightforwardly.
nI wasn't unnerved by his words.
n
"Well, I would do the same to you old man. You are too strong to kill directly so I had to play dirty, but that is not the point now. I need information, and this time, I will pay.
" I told him.
nHe snorted.
n
"Keep your pocket money. Tell me what you want…
"
n
"I know that your agents are staying low-key so I won't make it hard for you. I need all the information that you can gather from an outer disciple who interrupted my spar yesterday.
" I could ask him to investigate about Li Heng's case, but that would be hard to keep low-key and there was a chance of his agents being detected and I don't want that…
n
"Yea, yea. Anyway, thank you, old man. Give me the information today. Also, give aunt my regards.
" I told him and a few moments later we finished the call.
nAs the call finished I soon got to our meeting place.
nWith a knock to inform them of my arrival, I entered the courtyard.
nAnd immediately after, I got thrown outside.
