Chapter 87

After I was done arranging things here, I placed one hand onthe overgrown grass and re the moss from the pond, the abandoned space soon transforarden

‘No matter who sees this, it won’t look like an abandoned place anymore’

Now content with how the landscape transforan to warm up

Truthfully, I never once tried to use ained rasp of erous to use it back then But after I had gotten used to it more over time, that’s not a concern anys fro sessions with Cassion

Thus far, I didn’t have a proper reason to exert th, really So naturally, I had yet to check just how th I had at the ure that out today

There’s no one looking, and I just found the perfect clearing to let loose

At the same time, I also had to test Cassion’s sword

After stretching my shoulders, I picked up the sword, which I had set down earlier

One hand was on the sword’s smooth scabbard, the other hand was on the sword’s hilt

Closinga deep breath, I felt

The sas unsheathed

Sied blade appeared while acco the scabbard far away, I got intofor me’

But that didn’t matter

Cassion, as the owner of this sword, had a er physique than me, so it’s only natural

I kicked a few stones upith one foot

The stones were flung in the air And before they could even fall to the floor, , sharp sword split all the stones

The three stones that were in the air just now soon turned into nine pieces as they round

And when I stepped on those small stones, they instantly turned into powder that was scattered around

‘It has a good feel to it It perfor it for a short moment, it was only then that I clutched it properly in my hand

From now on, it was time to test the sword in earnest

This whip sword

This sasn’t just a regular longsword, but a whip sword

Ary naturally flowed like a single strea infused with qi, the slitted blade stretched silently

It looked as though it had been dis the slitted lines, had fine threads connecting the it like a whip

Crackle!

Extended to a length round

The grass that was cut rose in the air and fluttered to the ground

As I swung the whip sword into the air, it seted thin tree

Craaack—!

Again with an acco sharp sound, the tree snapped in half

After this, I tested the whip sword more in various ways

How the blades followed as Iit would take for the whip form to return to its sword forth could be adjusted easily

In the end, everything was satisfactory

I was a little apprehensive about how the sword’s creation was finished without a single test run, butlike a whip just now, the weapon returned to the for sword smoothly As I stared at it, I murmured under my breath

“Just who the hell is Blanca…”

Once again, I realized how fortunate it was that she was an ally

‘I think I’ve checked every aspect of the sword by now…’

Now, it was time to checkti the sword, I was in a better condition than I thought My breathing was fine, too

My outer strength was dreadful though, so of course it would be a joke to say that I was any sort of a ‘ht it’d be

I picked up the scabbard, which I had left some distance away, and sheathed the sword and set it down Then, I took my fan from my waist

In the first place, this was ain, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath

The body I had possessed in the second transration was one of the numerous children of the Baek School’s household head

The Baek School was a sect led by ed her than the clouds, and there was a superb view of the cliffs and stonethe place

Amid theall year round, perfectlythe Baek School

[ t/n: Baek can also mean ‘white’ ]

A sect led by a transcendental

A perilous location

White flowers that were in full bloo, the people of the Baek household were all very austere and elegant

These characteristics of theirs would become the most evident in their , I learneda branch of atree It was only when I grew up that I finally held a weapon and mastered those techniques

Inthat could most famously sum up the Baek School was this:

‘Martial arts is an artforesture as if you would strike an orchid, as if you are drawing a line Move in such a way that there is no way for others to distinguish whether you are dancing or practicing your martial arts’

As I looked back on my memories of that time, I raised one hand

Since I’ myself with the samethe iron fan lightly split through the air

Like a butterfly’s wings

Each step of h I was running across a lake And, ht ahead

I s and torso, my waist and knees Nonstop

The series ofthe air

Shhhk Shhk

Of course, as h the air, it sounded more like a snake than a butterfly

As I twisted on my toes, a branch of a tree was cut doith the fan’s blade

Showing a neatly sliced cross-section, the branch fell doith a snap

Now ith, the petals and leaves that were barely formed on the thin flower tree fell off with the sound of ususu

In a good ht, and there lay the problem

I was so exhilarated

And when someone became this excited, sos

It’s called ‘carelessness’

Feeling pleased, I unfolded the fan again with a clack
