Chapter 9: Disappointment I

by karlmaks — The incident with Huang Shan was merely a small, accidental interlude, and it quickly passed. As time progressed, another month quickly went by. This time, many people had mastered the complete sword style, and some had even completely mastered all eight points of force in the first stance. As for those who couldn't master it, Lin Hui personally watched the temple's young Taoist children notify them one by one to go home and not return again. This group included the skinny student who was…

Chapter 8: The Variable II

by karlmaks — Time flies in the blink of an eye. Lin Hui followed his routine, diligently practicing the Seven-Section Quick Sword daily at the Clear Wind Taoist Temple. His proficiency increased rapidly, and his physical fitness and reaction speed slowly improved with the hard training. Although he had promised his parents not to overtrain, after having personally seen the Mist Zone and the fleeting shadowy figure within, Lin Hui's newfound sense of security underwent another change. He briefly simulated the…

Chapter 7: The Variable I

by karlmaks — As the sky gradually darkened. Lin Hui put away his wooden stick, wiped the sweat from his face with a cloth, and quickly headed toward the communal bunkhouse. The communal bunkhouse was located to the right of the training ground. Looking at it, it resembled a large, blackened intestine laid horizontally on the ground. The patterns on the outside of the "intestine" were the individual, partitioned rooms. Each room could sleep about ten people. Lin Hui lived in the rightmost room, which was…

Chapter 60: Identity IV

by karlmaks — "Little Li, what exactly is the situation over at the Clear Wind Taoist Temple? Who is left running the classes?" Mu Qiaozhi actually didn't know much about the situation there. During this time, she had struggled to switch her cultivation to the Black Dragon Claw technique. Changing from a style focused on speed and body tempering to one focused on defense and hard body skills didn't save her much effort in between. Aside from starting directly at the Third Rank of Body Tempering, she had to follow…

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 59: Identity III

by karlmaks — With his internal force breakthrough and sword speed significantly increased, Lin Hui didn't waste time. Since he had come all this way, he simply hunted two more Tree Scorpions. This time, he didn't kill them completely but just severed their tails to take back. Firstly, because the scorpion tail had a weakness that made it easier to cut off; secondly, killing them completely would damage the Clear River sword too much. Although he wasn't short of money now with his father's support and the booming…

Chapter 58: Identity II

by karlmaks — "Data collection is sufficient. We can end this." "Then I'll go clean up the traces." "Be cautious." "Don't worry." One of them responded, took a step forward, and suddenly dissolved silently into a pool of gray liquid, flying toward the figures still fighting inside the temple. Getting close, the liquid rapidly dispersed into countless sand-like gray insects, densely pouncing on the Black Winged Tiger and the three Internal Force Realm martial artists. Accompanied by a few terrified…

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 56: Exploration IV

by karlmaks — "Go back for what? I can't find a solution to the troubles within my tribe, so going back is pointless." The black-furred Lionman released him and sighed. He was over two meters tall. Standing next to the one-meter-eight Mingde, the size difference was too great, giving the impression of an adult and a child. "I thought you went back long ago. I bumped into Donghao and the others at the Qingle Workshop last time, and they said they hadn't seen you for a while." Mingde and this black-furred Lionman…
