Cornflower Field, Bai Sect Academy, 6 years ago.“Master Zhou, where exactly are we going?”After agreeing to bring palace tea and her mother's concoctions later, Xiao Zhun followed Zhou Peng up a hill not far from the forest. Coming out of the Bai Sect Building, walking a little into the forest, they climbed onto a wide plateau. Around the small hill, there is a wide field that is covered with yellow flowers. The flowers that bloomed in the tall grass fluttered in the wind. While in front of him, Zhou Peng smiled slightly as he pointed around the flower field.“We have arrived! How, isn't this flower field beautiful?” Zhou Peng exclaimed as he spread his hands. The ends of his arms caught between the flower stalks. The man was standing in the middle of tall flower grass. Makes him look like a scarecrow.As if he had just realized that he had arrived, Xiao Zhun spread his gaze, and the tiredness he had felt earlier disappeared as the waving flowers lightened his sight.“Wow… so beaut
Cornflower Fields, 6 years ago.The Silver Nail Strike was just an opening. Just when Xiao Zhun was about to take a breather to rest for a moment, Zhou Peng launched another Lightning Needle. Five needles were thrown at once, the exhausted Xiao Zhun couldn't take the attack and he could only block while turning backward. Still following the wind, he dodged four needles through the wind-thin opening. But when the last needle slid later, Xiao Zhun was almost back on his feet. Luckily, he was still fast. Instead of dodging the needle, Xiao Zhun stretched out a hand as straight as his eyes, then two fingers; middle and thumb, Xiao Zhun held the needle together with the internal energy cultivated with the wind.The force of the needle that was about to stab restrained Xiao Zhun's middle finger and thumb. While Zhou Peng, who was still controlling the needle, then smiled and dropped it on the ground. He felt that Xiao Zhun's inner strength radiating from his middle finger and thumb was st
"So there are some people who are capable of controlling magic?" Lan Qi looked at Xiao Zhun who shook his head.“That's not called magic. But inner energy. That energy I learned in the Bai Sect six years ago from master Zhou Peng. Tao Ling's master. In this world, when the era of heroes was still in its heyday, some of them had been passed down by divine power—which was that inner energy. Meanwhile, people who don't have that talent have to learn it by themselves by meditating and uniting their energy with nature. And I am one of them,” explained Xiao Zhun."You?"Xiao Zhun nodded. "Yeah. That's why I learned a lot from the Bai Sect and got to know Tao Ling. Seeing the difference between people who have already lowered their internal energy directly. Makes me self-motivated.”While thinking, Lan Qi remembered that night on her fifteenth birthday, when she saw Lightning Villain spin his ice blade so that it turned into a stunning crystal bow. That amazed feeling was able to make he
The faint sound of someone stirring in a bowl woke Tao Ling up. She blinked open her eyes and the sunlight from outside the window lit up the room. Tao Ling's nose sniffed the warm scent of cinnamon and ginger. She looked to her left, beside the bed was Guo Fen without his silver robe sitting on the edge of the bed stirring something in the bowl. His eyes looked glazed, his bangs were not tied in small braids hanging down to his temples. As soon as Tao Ling took a deep breath while struggling, Guo Fen glanced over and handed the bowl to Tao Ling.“Drink this,” said Guo Fen as he stood up. Tao Ling observed the contents of the liquid in the white bowl. The liquid is brown in color but light in texture like tea. As soon as she looked up, Guo Fen was almost at the door. Tao Ling hurriedly stopped him."Hey, what's this?"Without looking up, Guo Fen replied flatly, "neutralizer."Instantly Tao Ling remembered that last night she almost died of shortness of breath due to poison. She e
"When are we leaving?" asked Xiao Ahn who had fully recovered. He was sitting on the edge of the pavilion. After yesterday's incident, leader Wen Mang told Guo Fen to come to him when he finished taking care of his friend who was poisoned. In this Hawk Troop Fortress, they gathered a lot of materials to make poison. Tao Ling said that because the Hawk Troop Fortress was close to the Bai Sect Central Academy, they had met several times. But as long as the Bai Sect did not have malicious intentions toward them, the Hawk Troop Fortress did not care about the Bai Sect.At the edge of the pavilion, Xiao Ahn looked at Guo Fen's palace clothes that had been stripped off.“Wait for me to face Wen Mang. I was trying to reclaim the sword before we left.”"But what if he doesn't give it?" asked Xiao Ahn sounding worried.Guo Fen lowered his head, thinking of another solution. But not found."We'll talk about that later."“You should have just thrown my ugly sword. Ah, annoying,” Xiao Ahn g
Not an ordinary person again, muttered Guo Fen."What do you mean?"Wen Mang brushed aside his robe that was dragging on the floor and returned to his seat. “I saw you slash through the Rain of Hawk Arrows that we launched at you. But you, using only a sword, I can feel the wind rushing like a hurricane in one second, then brush all those arrows away so they don't hit you. What's that move? Did the Bai Sect teach it?”In his heart, Guo Fen began to be careful. He should remember what he had talked about earlier.“It's just ordinary internal energy,” said Guo Fen hoping not to be suspected. He himself did not know what kind of martial arts techniques were taught by the Bai Sect.“The Bai Sect is famous for small arms. They are assisted by the wind as the object of their energy union. I am not a descendant of heroes in ancient times. We both know that whoever descends from a hero, receive energy equal to the power of a god. It's like magic, but it's like the inner energy you said.
Tao Ling got one horse from Wen Mang before they left the Hawk Troop Fortress. Making them each have one horse. When Guo Fen led the way, under the shade of the trees of the Middle Forest, he looked up and saw many ropes tying each other between trees and branches to other trees as well. Beneath the dense foliage too, Guo Fen could see small huts hanging from each tree. It would be hard for other people to find the little cottage in the shade of the trees, but Guo Fen easily saw it through the thin gaps in the leaves.Following the path that slowly led to the river's edge, they took a short break after having ridden for nearly two hours at a moderate pace. Tao Ling's horse drank water from the river directly. On the banks of the river, forests grow wild. Meanwhile across the river, they can see a short plateau cliff. Then behind him, dense trees ended his sight.During the trip earlier, they had not started a conversation. Xiao Ahn knew because he was worried that some Hawk Troopers w
The Hong Tian Sect's residence wasn't too far from their previous position. And since it was in the direction of En Shu, Guo Fen didn't mind stopping by this residence for a bit. Tao Ling said the Hongtian Sect and the Bai Sect were quite close. So the Hongtian Sect didn't attack Tao Ling, instead, it felt familiar. Moreover, Huang Jin and Huang Xin didn't look threatening. Along the way, they didn't even ask Guo Fen where he was going. Huang Jin is even busy teasing Tao Ling who is now clinging to Xiao Ahn. Hoping to get protection from the young man.“Tao Ling, we Hong Tian Sect youths often wish to visit the residence of the Bai Sect. Our residence is not too far. Moreover, my master and Zhou Peng's master are friends, you shouldn't put such a long distance between us, right?” replied Huang Jin who always looked more confident. Meanwhile, Huang Xin just smiled shyly beside his brother. He looks younger and only laughs as a team when his brother is cracking a joke.Tao Ling who was
