Chapter 38: The Stone Room and The Stone Carving
Lu Xuan was currently standing in front of the Lu Mansion’s gate. Beside him were some butlers and maids, all of them in pools of blood, and his father, Lu Yu, was similarly heavily injured, lying on the ground.
In front of Lu Xuan was Long Tai and the Long family’s servants. As for Lu Xuan’s elder sister, Lu Qiong, she had been captured by a few of the servants and was standing behind Long Tai, trying to struggle to get out with all her might.
“Xuan’er, go. You aren’t Long Tai’s opponent. Where there is life, there is hope. You must get revenge!” Lu Yu clutched his chest as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
(TN: The er is an endearing term for a child)
Lu Qiong’s eyes were filled with tears as she looked towards Lu Xuan with a doting look: “Little Xuan, don’t worry about me. Quickly go. I believe that you will definitely become a great martial artist.”
Long Tai was laughing: “Run? Where can you run to? Old man Lu Yu, you can only blame yourself for not being sensible. If you had obediently given your daughter to me, how would it have come to this. Today not a single one of your Lu family’s people will survive!”
Seeing the scene before his eyes, Lu Xuan was silent. He had encountered this scene multiple times in his dreams. If he couldn’t enter the Wind Sword Sect, this dream could possibly become reality.
If it was before, facing this scene, Lu Xuan may have had difficulty escaping it, unable to break through it, but with the appearance of the sword crystal, it had completely changed Lu Xuan’s life. Long Tai and the Long family that had made him feel so powerless before was now nothing much in his eyes.
After all, this was just an illusion. As long as he was there, he wouldn’t let his family ever receive any kind of harm again! Lu Xuan vowed to himself.
Thing of this, he ignored Long Tai’s taunting, directly pulling out his sword and swung it!
The world in front of him instantly collapsed. Everything turned to nothing.
This sword swing not only broke through this trial, more importantly it had destroyed Lu Xuan’s heart’s demons because this mental strength assessment’s fourth trial was the heart’s demon trial.
As the world in front of him disappeared, Lu Xuan slowly opened his eyes and stood up. The appearance of the Sword Testing Hall once again appeared before his eyes. He had already completed the entirety of the second round, the mental strength assessment!
“He passed the trial! Lu Xuan passed the trial! He’s once again the first place for the second round of the assessment!” Lin Xin Yi excitedly said, her face flushed.
“This kid is outstanding! He broke through all four trials in less time than a stick of incense!” In the judging area, Ninth Uncle still hadn’t said anything before an elder couldn’t help but exclaim.
“It is indeed that way. Other than being trapped in the lust trial for half a stick of incense time, the other three were broken through in an instance. The first two trials are pretty easy, but the hardest one is putting down the heart’s demons. If he doesn’t fall from the sky, my Wind Sword Sect will probably have another genius!” Another elder similarly said, filled with happiness. For them, the happiest scene was seeing the rise of a genius.
Seeing how high the two elders were evaluating Lu Xuan, Elder Sun was a little unhappy, softly snorting once: “It’s still too early to say that. It’s only the second round.”
Hearing this, Ninth Uncle leisurely said: “Right now Lu Xuan has already ready taken the first place for two rounds. That Long Tai of yours is still stuck in the lust trial. Elder Sun, it looks like you can start preparing the materials you bet.”
“You can just relax. I won’t go back on my words. The outcome hasn’t been decided yet, there’s no rush.” Elder Sun answered lividly.
Long Tai’s performance in the mental strength assessment truly wasn’t good. While Xia Ye had already entered the fourth trial, heart’s demon trial. He had been trapped in the bloodlust trial for not a short period of time, and now he had once again gotten lost in the lust trial. Seeing Long Tai’s perverted expression, one could guess what he was currently doing.
