Early in the morning Yin, Akemi her sister and her parents were having breakfast, atmosphere extremely awkward.

"We heard you had great time together yesterday..." Katherin said slyly while laughing.

Yin and Akemi went completely red out of embarrassment.

**

Soon after Yin got back to his tent and saw Yuki exercising, he laughed and said, "I am back!"

Seeing Yin, Yuki gave a hump and didn't say anything.

Yin sighed and said, "I'll buy you some clothes later if you want..."

Yuki put a smile on her face.

'Aish! This girl is sly! hahah' Yin thought.

Suddenly someone spoke from behind the tents door, "Yin, Captain Zhuan asked your presence, he said it's very important."

"Alright I'll be there in a minute." Yin calmly answered, he thought that he might have finally gotten a mission.

Yin quickly headed out, soon arriving at the big tent he saw three Captains standing talking about something. One of them glanced at Yin lifting his hand showing to go there.

"Hello Captains."

They nodded and one of them spoke, "Yin there will be Captains recruiting training going on in two days and we would like you to join, what do you think?"

Yin was quite shocked a chance to be promoted to a captain? Who wouldn't want that? He thought for a moment and realised the reason must be because his reputation skyrocketed between the soldiers. Who doesn't want to be member of a strong captain? Ones survival in war would be much bigger fighting side to side with strong ally. For Yin this is like skipping many years of his life on missions and other crap, which was meaningless to him.

"It would be my honour I never expected this to happen so soon though."

Captains laughed slightly and then spoke, "Training will happen at the Snow White Peak Mountain, one must climb at least five hundred meters in order to pass. This involves extreme cold, and weak wouldn't even be able to pass one hundred meters so be prepared."

Yin didn't know whether to cry or to laugh, in the end destiny kept sending him to the legendary peak. And now he has no other choice but to go there, it seems that destiny just can't wait and see what's going to happen.

When Yin was about to get going suddenly one of the Captains spoke, "Yin you know, I saw you fighting with your heavy sword not long ago. You have good potential, but you need to improve on your technique a lot. Let's go have a spar I'll teach you a thing or two."

"Wow that would be great Captain, many thanks." Yin answered with smile, after all learning means improving his strength.

Improving his strength means improving his power, improving his power means one step closer to changing the world.

Soon the Captain who was two heads taller than Yin, and has tough body very much soldier like. He had shoulder length hair and a bit of a beard with manly features, one could call him man of the men.

He handed a heavy sword to Yin and said, "First of all, it's not about which technique is better, but how you use the technique. Even the weakest technique in strange situations can become the strongest technique. Just because you know a technique or sword stance which covers wide range of attacks, doesn't mean it's good. Its good when you know wide range of techniques for a lot of situations, it's because those techniques specialises in that area. Trust me people who created these techniques didn't create them because they are flawed, but because it is good, extremely good for them. Let me give you an example, imagine a man who lost his arm he thought he cannot wield heavy sword any more. What he thought is wrong let me tell you, do you think you cannot wield heavy sword in one hand? Yes you can, but the way you wield it will be completely different, from when you wield it with two hands. One must learn how to wield their weapons with both hands which is the basics for every soldier, second you must be capable of wielding different weapons, third you must learn how to wield different weapons, because only then will you properly understand your foes flaws. Now then let me teach you something about heavy sword, hold it horizontally pointing it towards me." Yin kept listening and nodding about what the captain was talking about, he thought that everything he said makes a lot of sense. He pointed his heavy sword towards Captain just like he was asked to. "Good now tell me what heavy swords flaws is?" Yin kept holding the sword and said, "One has to expend much more strength executing heavy sword attacks and so your stamina lowers while your strength increases.

"Yes that is true, now tell me can you wield heavy sword as a normal sword?"

"Definitely not, heavy sword must be used a lot different for it to show its full strength. The reason for this is because it's much bigger than normal sword."

"Correct, one of the heavy sword weaknesses is its speed it is much slower than normal sword. Simple mistake while wielding heavy sword and your opponent will slaughter you. For this reason heavy sword wielders must swing the sword so that it would hit wide area. This leaves opponent out of choices, either dodge or block, but blocking might result in their injuries. When one goes against heavy sword they will usually try to dodge and attack as quick as possible, if the heavy sword user is not able to block the attack it will most likely end up in death. This is why one must have incredible strength, in order to wield heavy sword properly as to avoid its disadvantages."

Yin nodded in understanding, and swung the heavy sword few times.

"Another thing is the length and shape of your heavy sword, which determines your attack range. For heavy sword users it's very important to keep the range to the maximum."

Yin nodded calmly, continuing to listen.

"Now show me, what kind of slash would you use against, sword and shield wielder." Captain said, curiously looking at Yin.

Yin thought for a moment, but couldn't really come up with nothing. If he slashes from the side then the shield user can just block it with his shield. If he manages to block then Yin surely will be dead as it will easy for the shield user to then get to him. If he slashes from the top then he can easily dodge it, but then suddenly he realised something.

"Sir there are only two choices in my opinion first is to use the heavy sword as a spear and try to pierce enemies shield. Second choice is to slash from the side using momentum, hit the shield, changing in position, quickly giving a spin and slash from the other side. If I am fast enough it would be certain win."

"Very good, second option would be the best option indeed, but don't forget you can hit from below, knocking the opponent backwards, and then jumping on him with your sword with your all might . I tell you something important about heavy sword, at first it was created for defence and not attack! Because of its gigantic size whole person can hind behind it, which makes it a shield and it can be used as sword to attack. But because of its extreme weaknesses only the strong can use it and it doesn't mean, just because you are strong you will be able to beat your opponent remember! Who do you think is going to win you who have greater strength or someone with supreme technique and control! Think, son without risk there is no reward, if you want to wield heavy sword you must put five times the effort other people put in! If you are unwilling to die you are never achieve what you want, you must give on your life and put your life on line."

Yin nodded saluting, "Sir, Yes Sir!" Yin was absolutely pumped.

Yin realised that he must work many times more than others in order to make his dreams come true. He put on his heavy armor, took his heavy sword and started swinging the sword, from left to right, from right to left, from sky to the ground, from ground to the sky. Without wavering, his full focus on training he could feel as the time flew, he was fully immersed in training.

'Ah I have to train more! Why is my body so weak! I must work five times harder than others!' Yin kept swinging the sword as hard as he can, barely lifting the sword, he stopped and started doing sit ups, "There was time when I was weakling, no matter how hard I would fight, no matter how hard I would try and no matter how many times I didn't give up I still kept being beaten up and left without food. This is not going to happen again!" Yin jumped from doing sit ups he took his heavy sword swinging again, soon evening come and he kept training, like crazy.

*Gasp* *Gasp* Yin heavy breathing he was barely standing, he suddenly heard screams coming. He started walking to the Capitals gates and he saw beasts rushing in to the city; as he heard horn sounding out from one of the soldiers, "Wild beasts attacking protect the town!"

Yin smiled, he wanted to test out how much he improved he took his heavy sword and charged amidst the beasts. Sweat dripping from his head as he walking towards the beasts, he saw beast walking towards him. Yin did have time to think why the beasts were attacking, what was the point or reason for this, but he knew that he must slaughter them or the capital might fall.

A beast red as blood in colour in the shape of lion charging at him, with his claw targeting Yin's neck it let out a growl. Yin didn't stop at all charging at the red lion he lifted his heavy sword piercing with it towards the lion, just few meters from each other Yin changed his pierce to swing. *slash* the red lion was cut in almost half as the gore splattered on the ground as it could do nothing.

The same instant three Snow White tigers charged at him, Yin didn't panic calmly he was actually smiling, it looked very terrifying as his clothes were painted red from the red lion's blood. One would probably piss himself if he saw Yin, like this in the middle of the knight.

Yin stood there waiting for the tigers, when they were about five meters from him, he swung his big sword from right to left with all his might, almost lifting himself in the air from the momentum, at this time one tiger managed to dodge while other two fell down with their heads barely hanging. As soon as the tiger dodged it attacked Yin, the tiger barely two meters from him, Yin didn't panic as he jumped backwards with his heavy sword, swinging his sword from ground to air, grazing the grass, cutting the very tops of the grass. Tiger charged at him, at this time Yins sword was still pointing towards the sky, Yin put on crazy smile from ecstasy, he gripped his sword changing his hands he pierced with the sword down, tip went towards the ground. The next moment *drip**drip* the tigers blood flowing on the snow painting it red, Tigers head pierced.

Yin charged, at the beasts, one bear like with green fur and horn on his head, one Birdlike Black like the night itself, blending in perfectly one could barely see it. But all they could do is to die by Yins sword, as he went through the crowds, soon piling up in tens.

Suddenly a whole crowd of twenty or more beasts started charging at him, Yin as clam as water, unmoving, blending In with the red snow, he started giving of terrifying killing intent.

Yin roared as he charged at the beasts when suddenly a shout from behind him came, "Charge!" and many soldiers charged at the beasts, "Today we die or the capital falls, we sacrificed our lives for the people. Do not be afraid, because today we are going to become heroes!" One of the captains shouted as he charged in front of them, lifting his sword in the air, he bashed against a bear like beast with his shield. Next moment he already pierced with his sword in to the beasts head, not even waiting for the blood he kicked the bear while it fell another beast charged at him from the side, soldier next to the captain pierced it with his spear, like a barbeque.

Yin slaughtering beast by beast, one after another, it was as if an invisible wall were in front of Yin which none of the beasts could cross. Soldiers through the sides of their eyes, were looking at Yin with respect, their blood pumping up they looked at Yin as their inspiration, as they fought with their whole strength. Yin sweat dropping from his head, his body becoming heavier and heavier, but he didn't give up, no he couldn't give up not that he didn't want to give up.

An extremely loud roar sounded out like a thunder throughout everyone's ears as they saw trees falling down, and a huge lizard like creature was nearing the soldiers, it was covered by sand colour scales and had extremely long tail which was lifted in the air swinging. The tail seemingly reaching the sky, looking as strong as steel, with every swing whistle could be heard. On its head big horn and it had big nostrils as well as huge mouth with sharp teeth, not forgetting its claws which were monstrous.

Everyone was shocked to the bone, but their spirit didn't die, no instead their spirit grew, "Gentlemen! Today we will probably die here, but we will die as heroes!" Everyone spirited, they were soldiers who volunteered to the army every single on them joined knowing their life will be on risk. Their blood boiling, they roared, crashing against the beasts, one on one.

Yin saw the thing and his blood started pumping, he knew this will be his biggest foe yet, as looked at the lizard, it's like they knew that no one else here besides each other are opponents to them.

Suddenly cold atmosphere erupted from Yin, as he stared at the lizard his killing intent mixing in, Yin charged at the Lizard. The lizard swung his gigantic tail at Yin, not waiting for the tail to come at Yin he slashed with his sword at the lizard's tale with all his might. Unexpectedly he couldn't even scratch the lizard's skin, as he was sent flying, breaking few trees. Barely standing up he started to slowly walk towards the lizard, heavy sword in his hands, like a demon he had no feeling of fear. Ignoring everything the lizard charged at Yin, swinging his tale at him again, this time like a whip send it flying at Yin. 

"Damn it, I don't think I can block this, I guess I have no other choice, but to use my powers."

As he silently said it cold breeze swept from Yin, flying towards the incoming tail freezing everything in its way. As soon as the breeze touched the lizard's tail, it started to slow down stopping two centimetres from Yin's head. Yin shopped with his heavy sword at the tail as if he was about to cut wood, shattering the ending of the lizard's tail. The lizard shrieked miserably as a gas-like substance started emitting from the lizards nostrils, the next moment it opened its mouth and fire swept throughout the forest. A huge fire tornado approaching Yin at an astonishing speed, Yin without wavering, pointed with his sword towards the fire tornado and an ice blizzard swept out. Like waves crashed against the fire tornado, two powers have faced against each other neither of them able to surpass the other. 

Yin knew at moment he can only try with all his might to surpass this seemingly indistinguishable fire, it's either he fail, or he win.

Yin's face changed as he roared and slashed with his sword through the air, and cold wave roared through the air as it went towards the fire tornado,

*Puff* A giant smoke mushroom fifty meters in high appeared, as the ice and fire both disappeared. 

For about 3 seconds it was, silent and nothing happened, Yin knew very well that this is not the end. And the next moment, from behind the smoke a lizard figure came flying towards Yin with its claw targeting Yin, at the same time ball of fire came from its mouth. The fireball was nearing Yin twice as fast as the lizard, and Yin didn't have any way to dodge it.

Yin swinged his sword from the ground to the sky and a mist condensed in front of him it was snow white with silver shine to it, one could feel terrifying cold coming from it. As soon as it condensed the same moment fireball the size of five men hit the mist, the huge impact sent Yin flying backwards. Rolling in Yin didn't wait anything as the lizard was already ten meters in front of him, and it was approaching at incredible speed.

Yin stood as memories of Akemi flashed in his mind "I don't have any more Yin energy left in my body, I either defeat it or I die. NO! I cannot die! I cannot put Akemi to danger if something happens to her I will forever hate myself..." 

Yin roared with all his might and coldness radiated from his body, he took a step forward launching himself toward the Lizard he pierced with his sword towards its claw.

At this moment a man and a beast, both in the air, one with sword and one with claw attacking each other, It was sight that cannot be seen, often because today a hero in the eyes of other people will be born.

*Shreeek* Ear piercing sound came from the two collisions, as if two metal blades collided without each having advantage over each other. 

Yin could feel the toughness of this beast's scales, but he knew it wasn't tough enough, as his sword pierced through the Lizard's tail cold spread out from the sword towards the inside of the lizard, and it let out an extreme scream; Fire started coming from his nostrils and its mouth. Suddenly the lizard started to get bigger, when suddenly the lizard exploded making five meters deep and ten meters wide crater in the ground; sending trees and other things flying who was with in fifty meters of explosion. 

Yin gave a laugh, saying, "This motherfucker, killed himself..." as he said it, the sheer force of the explosion sent him hundred meters flying. Hitting the capitals wall he made a crater in the wall.

He spit mouthful of blood and fell on the ground blood flowing from all of his body, his bones broken he was laying down on the ground, he smiled faintly and silently said with faint voice, "You lose."
