Chapter 6: Joining II

by karlmaks — Clear Wind Taoist Temple interior. On the training ground behind the main hall. Rows of teenagers dressed in gray short martial attire stood in neat formation, holding short branches, waiting for the Taoist priest in front to impart martial arts. “I am Mingxiu, and I am the Taoist priest specifically responsible for teaching you the fundamental sword style.” The Taoist priest had a handsome, jade-like face and a burly physique, giving him the strange, contrasting appearance of a scholar's head…

Chapter 1: Awakening

by karlmaks — Dark night, the surroundings were like ink. A tiny orange flame, the size of a bean, quietly burned in the darkness. It seemed to be the world's only light. The flame flickered and swayed, so fragile that a single breath could extinguish it. In the weak light it cast, a young man with a pale face and bloodshot eyes sat quietly on one side. The man was about fifteen or sixteen years old, with ordinary, unremarkable features. He was lightly biting his lower lip; the color of his lips was very…

Chapter 12: Low Point II

by karlmaks — “A Jiang, I know you and the Fourth Brother are close, but the situation is different now. We absolutely cannot be perceived as having colluded with the Fourth Brother's actions, or the trouble will be enormous!” Lin Chaoyi earnestly admonished him. “It's a good thing Father gave the Fourth Brother's quota to Hongyu back then, otherwise the quota would definitely be null and void now. That honest boy from the Fourth Brother's family, with his poor aptitude, wouldn't have amounted to anything even…

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 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 14: Parting II

by karlmaks — “No need to talk like that. Even if we can't be in-laws, the two young people can still be good friends and keep in touch.” Lin Shunhe forced a strained smile. Lin Hui, walking closer, immediately understood what had just transpired. He realized the girl in the white skirt hadn't favored him, which was normal. His physique had recently firmed up, but his facial features were still the same—unremarkable. It was better before when his family background enhanced his status, but now the family…

Chapter 46: Thoughts II

by karlmaks — After Xiaohu and Little Fatty came over to pay their respects, they also left. Only then did Lin Hui grip his longsword tightly, closing his eyes to prepare himself to feel the power of Boundless Wind Direction. The first move was originally called Formless Wind Direction. Now, after evolution, it had become Boundless Wind Direction. Its power had undoubtedly increased; what he wanted to see now was by how much. Swish! Suddenly, he gripped the sword in his right hand, instantly dispersing over…

Chapter 25: Incident I

by karlmaks — Green Ink Tower was located at the boundary between the Inner and Outer Cities, right next to the tall, pristine white city wall. The entire structure resembled a massive golden sculpture, with layers of golden light continuously shining out from within. That light was the reflection cast by the lamps on the gold-dusted walls and windows. The entire building was shaped like a teapot. The entrance was at the teapot's handle, and the spout in front was a unique, translucent private room. Lin Hui…

Chapter 57: Identity I

by karlmaks — After calming down for a while, Lin Hui carefully sensed the state of the internal force within his body. He was extremely curious about this peculiar power that could not only provide defense and enhancement but also elevate one's overall physique. Extending his hand, he stared intently at his palm, circulating a sliver of internal force into his fingertips. Under the morning light, a faint white glow slowly lit up at the tips of his fingers. The white light was very weak and faint, yet clear…

Chapter 4: Moving House II

by karlmaks — Lin Hui gazed in the direction of the Inner City. From far away, he could only see a massive white stone wall enveloping the entire urban area. The white wall was at least several hundred meters high, its upper half disappearing into a faint cloud of mist. The wall's surface was smooth and even, giving off an aura of stark, white solemnity. The entire white wall, from top to bottom, left to right, appeared to have been forged from a single piece. “Why are they all going to the Inner City?”…
