Chapter 4 (1/2)

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

A six-year-old girl living alone and cooking for herself is indeed pitiful.

If Zhou Xuanji did not have the memories from his previous life, and if he was Little Jiang Xue, he would either die of hunger or be frightened to death.

At the thought of this, he had some respect for her on top of feeling sorry for her.

This girl would surely become someone extraordinary.

When the porridge was ready, Little Jiang Xue fed him herself. She blew at the porridge to cool it down a little before feeding him.

It has to be acknowledged that Little Jiang Xue’s cooking was not bad. Although he was used to the luxurious feasts in the palace, he still felt that it was good.

Maybe it was because he was too famished.

After all, she was only six years old. How good could she be at cooking?

After he had finished a bowl of porridge, there was still some time before nightfall, so he started to train with a sword in the yard.

He picked up a stick to use as a sword. No one knew where the Crimson Dragon Sword came from after all. He should not expose himself recklessly.

Although he trusted Little Jiang Xue, he was worried that the villagers who were passing by would see him wielding it.

He first practiced according to the moves of the first form of the White Crane Sword Technique.

He only discovered how difficult the movements were after he started practicing them.

He was only a two-year-old after all!

After he completed the first round of practice, he had already spent half an hour training.

Little Jiang Xue came out from the kitchen and saw his movements, inquiring, “Little brother, what are you doing? Training how to wield a sword?”

Why would a two-year-old child train with a sword?

She had never seen anything like this before.

“Yeah, so that I can protect you after I finish my training.” Zhou Xuanji replied casually, making Little Jiang Xue laugh with glee.

She replied, “Take it slowly, don’t hurt yourself.”

After she finished speaking, she returned to the hut to prepare a few sets of clothing for him.

Zhou Xuanji continued to train, and once he practiced five rounds of the White Crane Sword Technique’s first form, he felt his body become lighter and stronger. This is, indeed, amazing.

After he completed ten rounds, he felt that his physique had strengthened many times over. Subconsciously, he thought that he had attained enlightenment.

Activating Crane Stand once again, it was now a piece of cake. It was as though he was an old swordmaster who had trained for ten years, drawing and returning the sword with extreme speed.

He continued practicing the second form — Crane Wing Spread.

He could only finish it fifty times by dusk. He was exhausted, but when he performed it the fiftieth time, the fatigue left his body in the blink of an eye.

He swung his fist and felt like he was full of strength.

“As the Sword Owner completes a sword technique, the Sword Spirit will strengthen the Sword Owner’s physique. This will allow the Sword Owner to activate this sword technique with ease. Currently, the Sword Owner’s strength has already reached that of an adult man,” the Sword Spirit said.

Zhou Xuanji felt elated after hearing this.

A two-year-old with the strength of an adult man, I’m going to become like Nezha! (TL: A character in Chinese legends who had extraordinary strength at birth.)

With the Supreme Legendary Sword System around, he did not need to worry about uselessly training himself.

He did not continue to practice but went to the kitchen to help Little Jiang Xue cook.

After dinner, he continued to practice.

He began working on the third form of the White Crane Sword Technique — Crane Celestial Trace!

Little Jiang Xue sat on a small bench not far away and watched him quietly.

She had a silly smile on her face because having Zhou Xuanji around meant that she would no longer be afraid of the night.

Today was undoubtedly the happiest day she had experienced since she was born.

He did not notice her emotions but focused on his training.

Until late into the night, he continued practicing the Crane Celestial Trace, trying to perform it a hundred times.

When he completed the movement for the hundredth time, he felt a strange power flowing inside his body.

He felt that his body had become stronger again. His strength had doubled.

The strength of two men!
