Chapter 25 - I Hate It! (1/2)

Collecting Bloody Lilies, killing Kuang Yan the robber and hunting the Ink Flame Tiger,

three spiritual stone tasks were all accomplished. Now it was time to go back.

And he still had enough time to catch up with the mid-year assessment.

He had really gained a lot and improved greatly during this trip.

Mastering his Flowing Wind Swordplay, learning two lethal moves and achieving to the Completion level of his Tiger Fist.

Stabilizing on the fifth level of Martial Practice, and with the help of the two Blood Refining Elixirs, he would soon reach the peak of the fifth level.

The most important thing was that this trip greatly enriched Lin Yun’s experience and he had had real fights with people.

Now he was wondering which position he would be at during the mid-year assessment.

……

On the arena outside the Trigger Hall, Chen Xiao was fighting the trigger puppet with his sword, with the momentum of the sixth level of Martial Practice. His Wild Thunder Swordplay was as swift as the lightning and as powerful as the thunder. Every prick was as heavy as hell. And he could throw ten moves in an instant.

Thunder-like blare could be heard with every prick.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

When the sword chopped on the trigger puppet, it made clunking sound with dreadful power.

While he was swinging his sword, his gloomy face was extremely terrifying, like the trigger puppet was Lin Yun who had humiliated him in front of everyone.

He vented all his hatred and anger on the trigger puppet. Everyone held his breath on looking at his face.

Down the arena, all outer disciples dare not make any sound, because no one wanted to make him unhappy to draw fire against himself.

“Has that sword slave come back?”

asked Chen Xiao while he easily warded off the trigger puppet’s pouncing.

“Senior brother Chen, that guy hasn’t come back yet. And there’ll be only a few days before the mid-year assessment. Is it possible he has already died out somewhere?”

“I heard he has claimed three extremely dangerous spiritual stone tasks, one of which is to kill Kuang Yan the robber.”

“Yes, yes, yes! No one could be more ruthless than Kuang Yan the robber. A lot of disciples of other sects died in his hands. Lin Yun would be no exception. Maybe you don’t even have to make your own hands dirty.”

They were all trying to please him carefully.

“No! He must die in my hands. I will cut him into pieces!”

With a raging howl, Chen Xi already swung 81 pricks in an instant.

Even the trigger puppet got blown away by the sword wave and fell into pieces down the arena.

Big Achievement of the Wild Thunder Swordplay!

All outer disciples gasped, shaking with fear, “He has made it to the Big Achievement of his Wild Thunder Swordplay!”

“You all listen carefully! Keep your eyes wide open! If you see him back, report it to me right away.”

cried Chen Xiao while casting a glance at them.

“Yes, yes, we know.”

No one dare oppose him, so they could only nod and say yes.

They dare not oppose him before. And now since Chen had reached the sixth level of Martial Practice and made it to Big Achievement of his Wild Thunder Swordplay, they were even more afraid of him.

“Senior brother Chen, Lin has come back. Someone saw him in Qingyun Town.”

someone ran from out of the Trigger Hall and said to Chen Xiao in a hurry.

After a moment’s silence, Chen Xiao burst into laughter, “Hahaha, I’m glad he is back. I’m glad he is back. I’m glad he is back.”

When saying the last few words, he gritted his teeth, with his face twisted.

Swoosh!

Chen Xiao jumped off the arena and walked out quickly.

“Oh no. This is bad. That sword slave is dead this time.”

“Yeah. He ran away last time. And senior brother Chen burned his house in a pet. He has been waiting for this for two whole months.”

“Poor Lin. I think senior brother Chen wouldn’t take him as his peer and show mercy this time.”

“After all he lost due to his underestimation of Lin and got humiliated in front of everyone.”

“Come on. Hurry. Let’s go have a look.”

Almost all outer disciples out of the Trigger Hall went to watch it. Even those who had no connections with Chen Yun went after him.

In a short time, a massive crowd was following after Chen Xiao, which made him quite imposing.

Lin Yun stood before the gate for a long time.

“I’m finally back.”

He had accomplished all the tasks two days before the mid-year assessment.

He had experienced the joys after having made Big Achievement, the depression while making deals with a profiteer, and despair when being chased by the reckless bulls…
