Chapter 37: Evaluation I

by karlmaks — Rear courtyard of the Taoist temple, on the training ground. Lin Hui held the Clear River sword, calmly and steadily practicing the Nine-Section Quick Sword. To apply it in real combat, he had to make it perfectly compatible with his own physical state. It wasn't enough for the moves to be perfectly executed; he also needed to clarify the timing, rhythm, and other aspects of using the sword techniques. He had already completed his daily Body Tempering with the Seven-Section Quick Sword. The next…

Chapter 36: Change of Heart IV

by karlmaks — “The reason is none of your business,” Deng Mingchao said coldly. “Heh heh...” Mu Qiaozhi chuckled, her fit body moving like a female leopard as she slowly closed the distance. “You look very angry?” “Why shouldn't I be angry? Facing a traitor...” Deng Mingchao's expression turned mocking, but he was interrupted before he could finish. “What did I betray?” Mu Qiaozhi laughed. “Seriously, Junior Brother Deng, isn't your thinking a bit laughable? The Clear Wind Taoist Temple…

Chapter 35: Change of Heart III

by karlmaks — The cluster of dark wooden huts resembled black stones scattered randomly on a beach. Faint groans could be heard coming from some of the huts, sounding like the dying struggles of those who had been tormented by illness for a long time. Lin Hui and Deng Mingchao cautiously walked into the gap between two black huts, one with his sword lowered, the other with his sword held horizontally. Black mud mixed with all sorts of filth piled up in the corners on the ground. A faint stench permeated the…

Chapter 34: Change of Heart II

by karlmaks — Lin Hui nodded, glancing at his grandfather, Lin Chaoyi, and the two men behind him. Lin Chaoyi was putting on his act, while the other two—Lin Shunjiang (Lin Hongzhen’s father) and Lin Shunchong (from the second branch)—watched. One looked helpless, the other somber, both standing with arms crossed as they observed Lin Chaoyi’s performance. At this moment, Lin Chaoyi was shaking with rage at Lin Shunhe’s words, pointing a finger at him but unable to utter a single syllable. "Ah!"…

Chapter 33: Change of Heart I

by karlmaks — A few days later, in the Mist Zone. In the murky gray mist, a tall, sturdy man with a ponytail, dressed in a dirty white martial arts uniform, walked into the small hut's courtyard. He looked exhausted as he dragged an object that resembled a black tree branch. Thud. He tossed the object onto the ground and sniffed the air; the faint aroma of eggs fried in lard drifted through the air. With a squeak, the wooden door slowly opened. Daoist Mingde walked out unhurriedly holding a bowl, eating a…

Chapter 32: Change II

by karlmaks — Sixth-Rank Body Tempering. Lin Hui's mind settled, his concentration reaching a peak as he continuously dodged the Faceless Man's lunges and claw strikes. At this moment, the advantages of the Clear Wind Taoist Temple's movement speed were fully displayed. Having tempered his body with the Seven-Section Quick Sword, his movement speed was significantly higher than that of the Faceless Man, allowing him to dodge the creature's lethal attacks with ease. "The Harmless grade is perfect for you to…

Chapter 31: Change I

by karlmaks — The snow was getting heavier... Inside Mingde's room, the man himself was absent. Only his daughter, Vivi, and his three disciples were gathered together. The four of them remained silent; none had expected such a sudden turn of events. "What should we do now?" Wang Yun asked in a low voice, her brow furrowed. "Let’s wait for Teacher to return. For such a major matter, everything depends on the Abbot's condition," Deng Mingchao replied softly. "If the Abbot..." Wang Yun trailed off, but…

Chapter 30: Incident VI

by karlmaks — Mingde had a high reputation in the Clear Wind Taoist Temple for many years, and he was counted among the extremely small number of experts in dozens of towns throughout the Outer City. His status, influence, and authority might not even be matched by veteran members of the Three Great Powers who had been Summoned for many years. His status was far superior to Lin Hongzhen's cousin, let alone those who hadn't even gone through the Summoning like Lin Hongyu. Theoretically, after a successful…

Chapter 3: Moving House I

by karlmaks — Lin Hui sat upright on the dark bed inside the room. He held a bowl of corn and yam paste that his mother had left for him in the morning, spooning it into his mouth and swallowing it, spoonful by spoonful. Outside the window, children's playful noises continually drifted in from the alley, seeming to be playing with stones. Further away, a faint, weeping, and desolate sound of someone playing an instrument similar to an erhu could be heard on the wind. BANG. Suddenly, the wooden door of the…

Chapter 29: Incident V

by karlmaks — Silence. A complete silence! Plop. Ouyang Zhong fell onto his back. A tiny bloodstain slowly appeared on the tip of his nose. He sat on the ground in a daze, not daring to move, not even to breathe. He could only stare blankly at Lin Hui in front of him, watching the opponent slowly retract his sword. Only when he truly couldn't hold out anymore did Ouyang Zhong gasp for breath. “I concede, Senior Brother,” Lin Hui also took a deep breath, his voice sounding weak. The weakness was…
