**Chapter 1: Meeting of teacher and student

*(Morning in a valley covered with thin fog The water in the stream flowed slowly as Zhang Yun meditated under an old tree. Lu Yan's soft footsteps came closer and closer)*

**Lu Yan:** (Bow down to respect Zhang Yun's face)

“Master, I am Lu Yan, who is seeking knowledge and the path of a martial artist. I have heard of your reputation for a long time. and hope to receive teachings from you."

**Zhang Yun:** (Slowly opened his eyes, looking at the youth with calm eyes)

“Who are you, who has come to learn from me? The outside world is vast. and full of chaos Are you sure you will abandon the happiness of your youth to face this difficult path?”

**Lu Yan:** (Answered with stability in his heart)

“Master, the outside world is like the wind that blows. It is full of illusion and chaos. I want to learn the true way. A path that will lead me to inner peace.”

**Zhang Yun:** (smiles lightly and speaks in a deep voice)

“If you seek peace in your heart, know that this path is not just about fencing or conquering others. But it is self-defeating. and accept the truth within Do you accept to walk this path?”

*(Zhang Yun spoke in poetry Reflects the deep meaning of the way of the warrior)*

**Zhang Yun:**

“How sharp is the sword you hold in your hand?

But it cannot be compared with the sharpness of an enlightened heart,

You will crush your enemies with your strength,

But unable to conquer the fear in my own heart,

This way is to learn from within,

If you accept me as your teacher,

You must be ready to face the shadows hidden in your heart.”

**Lu Yan:** (Answered with determination)

“I accept to walk this path, Master. I will face the shadows hidden in my heart. and will learn the true way from you."

**Chapter 2: Unusual Training

*(A new day has arrived The sky is wide open The wind blows through the valley. Zhang Yun took Lu Yan to the training field, which was a wide stone field surrounded by mountains)*

**Zhang Yun:** (holding the staff in hand, standing quietly, looking at Lu Yan)

“Today you will begin your training, but this training is not just about smiting the enemy,

It is learning to listen to your own heart,

You must understand that true power does not come from the sword,

but from a stable and peaceful mind."

*(Zhang Yun began to teach Lu Yan the method of listening to the inner voice. Through meditation and deep breathing, this is an unusual practice for a young man who aspires to be an expert)*

**Lu Yan:** (meditating under the tree while Zhang Yun stood beside him)

“Master, why is the training focused more on self-realization than on sword and strength training?”

**Zhang Yun:** (Speaking in a deep and philosophical voice)

“The practice of swordsmanship and strength, is only the outer surface of the martial artist's way of life,

Indeed, conquering the enemy is not as important as conquering oneself,

Oh Lu Yan, know that, true victory lies within your heart,

Not on the battlefield or in the hand holding the sword.”

*(He spoke in poetry Reflects the true meaning of being a warrior)*

**Zhang Yun:**

"The greatest victory,

It is not about defeating the enemy in battle,

But it is about overcoming the shadows hidden in the heart,

and see a light that you have never seen,

Look for it in silence,

and you will find the hidden truth.”

**Lu Yan:** (nods his head and begins to understand the meaning)

“I am beginning to understand, Master, that inner peace is what I must strive for. I won't stop until I find it.”

**Chapter 3: Test of the Mind

*(One night The sky was completely dark. There is no moonlight or stars. Lu Yan meditated under a large tree. As Zhang Yun watched him from a distance)*

**Lu Yan:** (Sits with eyes closed, hands touching the ground. Feel the power flowing around you)

“I am beginning to understand, this power is not my enemy,

It is a part of me, like the breath I breathe,

I will learn to live with it, and use it to find peace.”

*(When Lu Yan understood the meaning of true power Zhang Yun smiled with satisfaction. and walked closer to him)*

**Zhang Yun:** (Speaking softly and with pride)

"You are finding the true path,

You are the disciple I am most proud of,

But know that the practice doesn't end here,

But it's just begun,

You will have to face more difficult challenges,

and use what you have learned in the right way.”

**Lu Yan:** (opens his eyes and stands up confidently)

“I am ready, Master, for whatever test you give me. I will face it with a firm heart.”

**Chapter 4: Confronting the True Enemy

*(One day, while Lu Yan was leaving on a mission in a nearby village He met Zhang Yun's old enemy. which used to be rivals in the past This enemy was intent on destroying everything Zhang Yun had built. Lu Yan had to face an enemy filled with hate. and terrifying power)*

**Enemy:** (smirks at Lu Yan while standing in the arena)

“You are just an inexperienced child,

Do you think that with a little practice you can fight against me?

I will prove how strong the power of hate is,

and I will destroy you with my own hands.”

**Lu Yan:** (Stands firmly and responds calmly)

"You may have the power of hate,

But I have the power of peace and faith,

I will not succumb to the darkness in your heart,

And I will use what I have learned from Master to conquer you.”

*(The two started fighting Swords and swords clashed fiercely. But Lu Yan used his calmness and steadfastness to fight against the enemy, and in the end, he was able to defeat the enemy. With the true power he learned from Zhang Yun)*

**Enemy:** (Falls on the ground, looks at Lu Yan in shock)

“You... how did you defeat me? Who exactly are you?”

**Lu Yan:** (Stands looking at the enemy with calm and steady eyes)

“I am no one else, I am Zhang Yun's disciple,

I have learned that true power does not come from hate,

But it comes from peace and stability in the heart,

I am not your enemy, I am only doing my duty.”

*(After encountering the enemy Lu Yan returned to the valley. and met Zhang Yun He tells stories of his struggles and the learnings he has gained. Zhang Yun listened with satisfaction and pride in his disciple.)*

**Zhang Yun:** (Smiles and says in a voice full of love)

“You are the disciple I am proud of, Lu Yan,

You have passed a difficult test. and prove to me that you have learned the true way,

Now is the time for you to continue on your own path,

and take the knowledge and experience you have gained and share it with others.”

**Lu Yan:** (Bow down to respect Zhang Yun gratefully)

“I thank you Master for everything you have taught me,

I will continue to practice your ways and spread them,

I will never forget your teachings. and will use it in the right way."

**Zhang Yun:** (Speaking in a poem filled with peace and hope)

“You are the disciple I sent out into the wide world,

You are the star that shines in the dark night,

Use that light to guide others,

and I will wait for you here,

Until you come back with a story of success.”

Finally: A Bitter Parting

*(Before Lu Yan turned and walked out of the valley Head to the outside world to carry out your duties. Meanwhile, Zhang Yun stood and watched him go. But something is wrong)*

Zhang Yun: (Looks at Lu Yan with questioning eyes and says in a tone of uncertainty)

“Lu Yan, you have passed a difficult test. and I should be proud of you,

But I feel that you have changed,

Do you have anything to hide from me?”

Lu Yan: (smiled coldly and raised his sword)

“Master, you taught me that true power comes from within.

But I discovered that power comes from control and possession,

I don't want just inner peace,

I want more than that — more power and influence than anyone else.”

(Zhang Yun was stunned by Lu Yan's words. He felt like he was being stabbed from behind. But he stood still. looked at his disciple with sadness)

Zhang Yun: (said in a voice that contained pain)

“Oh Lu Yan, my beloved disciple,

I didn't think you would take this trip,

You have chosen the path of darkness,

And I can't stop you any longer.”

Lu Yan: (Smiles mockingly. and said in a cold tone)

“Teacher, you don't have to worry any more.

I will build my kingdom with my own hands,

And I will not stop until I stand on the pinnacle of power.”

(Lu Yan turns and walks away. Leaving Zhang Yun standing in the valley with a broken heart. He knew that the student he loved and was proud of had traveled into darkness that he could never bring back.)

Zhang Yun: (Said a poem filled with sorrow and pain)

“Oh, the disciple I once hoped for,

Now you have chosen a path that I never expected,

I am the one who taught you, but I cannot stop you,

I will stand here with an aching heart,

and watch you go down a dark path.”

(The story ends with Zhang Yun's sadness. to see his disciple become something he never expected and could not stop)
