YM778.TV Chapter 176: 176, [Evildoer]
The surrounding spiritual energy was wildly gathering around Lin Chan.
This was a normal phenomenon.
But as Lin Chan was condensing her Sword Heart, Lu Xun’s body unexpectedly started reacting, leaving him rather puzzled.
The tiny sword within his Sword Heart was incredibly excited, spinning around inside Lu Xun’s Sword Heart.
This feeling was somewhat similar to a gentleman nervously pacing back and forth outside the door while his wife was about to give birth.
“What are you so excited about!” Lu Xun said irritably.
Does her Sword Heart have anything to do with you?
Mao Nanbei sat to the side, looking here and there, asking, “Who? Who’s excited? Little Junior Brother, who are you talking to?”
“Er, I’m talking to my Sword Heart.” Lu Xun felt this was rather odd.
“Little Junior Brother, you must be delirious. Can a Sword Heart actually be alive?” Mao Nanbei said.
“It seems like the small sword in my Sword Heart is indeed alive…” Lu Xun thought to himself.
But my “little sword” seems to be a bit slow…
He did not continue this topic. Instead, he said to Mao Nanbei, “Fourth Senior Sister, we should ride the paper crane and look for a secluded place. I don’t think Little Chan can successfully condense right away. It’s not good to keep flying in the sky.”
“Alright! Let’s go to that barren mountain ahead. We’ll protect her.” Mao Nanbei pointed to a mountain ahead.
The paper crane landed somewhere on the small mountain, where Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei kept their guard near Lin Chan, not daring to let down their vigilance.
They guarded like this for two full days and nights.
They left the Tianque Gate several days ago. Upon their departure, Mo Beipo was very enthusiastic and provided a large amount of Spirit Fruit, Spiritual Tea and other daily necessities.
He hinted that he wanted more frequent contact in the future.
Lu Xun accepted all the gifts without any embarrassment. However, he was certain to avoid the Tianque Gate in the future if he could.
He didn’t think there was anything wrong with this.
Destroying the altar in the Three Thousand Mountains area was a significant help to them. With fewer hidden dangers, the invasion of the foreign race would be less damaging. His actions indirectly saved many people in the Three Thousand Mountains.
So, it was the Three Thousand Mountains who owed him a great favor, only they didn’t realize it.
At this moment, Lu Xun and Mao Nanbei were gorging on Spirit Fruit beside Lin Chan, feeling very content.
Suddenly, Lu Xun shivered intensely.
“What’s wrong, Little Junior Brother?” Mao Nanbei asked, puzzled.
“I don’t know!” Lu Xun said, confused as he shivered again.
Not only was he shivering, but he also had the urge to howl at the sky!
It was like a bodily instinct, a natural response!
He glanced at Lin Chan, noticing that she was about to successfully condense her Sword Heart
Lu Xun’s mouth twitched: “I haven’t become a real Sword Person, have I?”
His reaction was much like when he had his breakthrough, with his nearby Magical Swords and Spirit Swords trembling and emitting a sword cry.
His whole-body shivering resembled the swords’ trembling.
His desire to howl was akin to the sword cry.
“I must be sick!” Lu Xun said, feeling a headache.
His perfectly human body was apparently displaying traits of a sword!
Touching his own body he thought, “At least I’m not as hard as a sword.”
At this moment, Lin Chan opened her eyes, sensing a change in herself.
“You have just enlightened your Sword Heart,” Lu Xun said, speaking like a seasoned veteran.
Lin Chan looked up at Lu Xun. For some reason, her impulse to firmly grip her master like a sword increased even more!
“My master really does seem like a sword.” Lin Chan sighed internally.
Perhaps only she, born with a Natural Sword Embryo, would have such a peculiar feeling.
Simultaneously, she scolded herself silently: “What a wicked thought!”
Such improper thoughts were an infringement towards her master!
“But if I were to grip him, where would the hilt be, and where would be the sword tip?” Such a thought popped into Lin Chan’s mind.
“No, no, no! Lin Chan, you wicked disciple! How dare you think like that!”
Lu Xun looked at Lin Chan’s peculiar expression and asked, “Little Chan, are you feeling unwell?”
Lin Chan’s face flushed slightly, she shook her head hurriedly, then forcefully dismissed her thoughts.
Lu Xun gave her a puzzled look, seeing that she didn’t react much, he chose not to ask further.
He sat down next to Lin Chan, took a Spirit Fruit out of his storage ring, and said, “Eat it, you must be thirsty and hungry after so many days of seclusion?”
Lin Chan reached out to take it, lowered her head, and began to eat the Spirit Fruit, saying in her heart, “Thank you, master.”
Lu Xun spoke softly, “Little Chan, there’s nothing else in your Sword Heart, is there?”
Lin Chan was biting the Spirit Fruit, she raised her head slightly, her big eyes were somewhat confused, then she shook her head.
What could possibly be in her Sword Heart besides the Sword Heart itself?
“It’s good if there’s nothing else, it’s good.” Lu Xun sighed in relief.
With his Game System, even if his Sword Heart mutated, it was all upgradable by his Experience Points, there wouldn’t be any problems.
On the contrary, its power would even increase!
But Lin Chan was different, he still hoped that Lin Chan could walk on the normal path of cultivation to avoid any risks, not to narrow her path.
After Lin Chan developed her Sword Heart, Lu Xun checked the “Guide” task, he actually also got a reward of 15,000 experience points, so he accepted it cheerfully.
He now had a huge amount of Experience Points, almost 290,000!
These Experience Points were enough for him to do a lot of things.
The three of them sat back on the paper crane, with Mao Nanbei in charge of piloting the paper crane. Lu Xun closed his eyes pretending to cultivate, but in reality, he was assigning Experience Points.
“It takes 150,000 Experience Points to level up to level 13.”
“I can use the purple initial skill upgrade coupon to level up the Ancient Five Elements Formation to level 3.”
“The Sword Cultivating Technique doesn’t need to be considered for the time being, I can’t afford to level it up yet.”
“I could level up Pink Ink, it’s cost-effective and has strong self-defense abilities.”
With a rough plan, Lu Xun raised his Nameless Technique by one level, successfully leveling up to 13, which was the third layer of the Initial Realm.
Then, he used the upgrade coupon, saving 50,000 Experience Points, and upgraded the Ancient Five Elements Formation to level 3.
Next, he spent 80,000 Experience Points to level it up to level 4.
He was left with less than 60,000 Experience Points, all of which he used to upgrade Pink Ink.
He leveled up Pink Ink to level 5 all in one go, and then used a mid-level blue skill upgrade coupon to level it up to level 6!
At this point, his Experience Points were almost spent.
After checking his Character Panel, Lu Xun thought, “Next, focus on leveling up. The skill level is high enough now, leveling up more would cost too many Experience Points, it’s more worthwhile to level up.”
“The current skill level is completely sufficient until level 30.”
“If I can get skill upgrade coupons for free, use them to upgrade. If I can’t, just focus on leveling up.”
Unfortunately, the Nameless Technique practiced the Five Elements together, each time it costed an astonishing amount of Experience Points, about five times that of ordinary players, which slightly upset him.
Luckily, the Spiritual Power inside his body was strong enough. Even though his character level seemed low, he was still quite mighty in a fight!
“I, Lu Xun, am a one-man team!”
He can only comfort himself like this.
After all these were done, Lu Xun opened his eyes.
“Little junior brother, did you make a breakthrough?” Mao Nanbei said excitedly.
Lu Xun nodded.
Others couldn’t feel when you upgraded your skills, but it’s quite obvious when you leveled up.
“The teacher said your cultivation technique is extremely slow to practice, but I think you’re advancing quite fast!” Mao Nanbei said.
“Fourth sister, can’t you think that I am extraordinarily talented? Must you think that the teacher is exaggerating?” Lu Xun said a little irritably.
“Oh, you’re right!” Mao Nanbei stopped eating, raised her head and said.
On the other hand, Lin Chan looked at her master and thought, “Master has made another breakthrough, he’s increasingly resembling a good sword… Crap! Why am I thinking about this again!”
“Rebellious child!” She scolded herself once more.
(PS: The second update of the day. I plan to stay up late tonight and release two more chapters. It definitely will be quite late, you can read it after you wake up.)
