There s Something Wrong With This Account - Chapter 148

Chapter 148: 148, [Maintaining a Sword is like Maintaining Oneself] (Looking for Monthly Tickets!)

Translator: 549690339

A person is a sword, and a sword is a person.

This is a path of Sword Cultivation that no one has ever taken before.

Without predecessors to guide him, this path is naturally blanketed in darkness, with him being the only beacon of light!

However, if Lu Xun were to traverse this path, it would mean an additional choice, a more reliable path of cultivation for Sword Cultivators!

This is undoubtedly a benefit for all generations to come!

At the moment, Ye Sui’an’s mind is full of Elder Lu, and he is deeply convinced by Lu Xun.

Through his imagination, the figure of Elder Lu saying, “Long and arduous is the road ahead, and I will seek the truth from top to bottom,” instantly becomes vivid in his mind.

In his heart, Elder Lu is an elegant and suave figure, gentle and courteous, yet filled with great determination and courage from within!

“If it were me, would I dare to choose such a unique and unprecedented path?” Ye Sui’an asked himself.

Upon pondering this question, he felt the vast gap between himself and Elder Lu more than ever.

“Perhaps… only such a person is deserving of the title Natural Sword Embryo, right?” Ye Sui’an sighed in his heart.

A small boat flew across the sky. Ye Sui’an looked out at the sea of clouds in the distance, resolved to work even harder in the coming days.

As the only current inheritor of Sword Mountain, he didn’t want to be left too far behind by Elder Lu.

Ye Sui’an looked down at his green shirt. The sleeves of this shirt had been sliced by Lu Xun’s Sword Qi during the sword inquiry session.

He planned to treasure this shirt, to hang it in his room as a reminder of the person associated with it.

This would serve as a memento of this sword inquiry and as motivation for himself!

Elsewhere, the back of the Demon Sect mountain.

The paper crane landed on the peak. Lu Xun and others dismounted from the crane. Lin Chan held an empty ceramic pot in her small hands. The warm porridge in it had already been finished by everyone.

The three sword inquiries took quite a bit of time. In no time, dawn was approaching.

The master still stayed in his room without coming out.

Lu Xun guessed that the master wasn’t interested in the outcome of the sword inquiry and was probably fast asleep.

Even though he himself was a cheat who levelled up through experience points and persisted in cultivation daily, he had never seen the master cultivate…

At night, the master would go back to his room to sleep for beauty. As for cultivation, it never happened!

It was a bit confusing.

Lu Xun kept the habit of saying goodnight to everyone. After saying goodnight to everyone, they all went back to their rooms.

It wasn’t that everyone was tired, but rather because their daily cultivation couldn’t be interrupted.

The world is terrifying like this. Many people are more talented than you and they work harder than you.

Just as Zweig once wrote, “All the gifts of fate were marked with a price in the dark.”

After returning to his room, Lu Xun did not directly begin to cultivate, but planned to first thoroughly recall the three sword inquiries of the day.

Especially the one between the mute old man and Ping Shanhai.

Before his previous life’s transmigration, the character level in “Heavenly Dust” was only open to level 60, so high-end sword inquiry scenes like these could not be created by players.

Even though the character levels would continue to open up, that will be a matter of the future.

What interested Lu Xun the most was the Divine Sword in Ping Shanhai’s hand.

Orange Martial arts were of legendary status, and beneath it were Superior Purple Weapons, of which the Divine Sword in Ping Shanhai’s hand was one of them.

Many imaginative players speculated that if the Divine Sword was not damaged, it could possibly be an Orange Martial art!

“I heard that there’s a noticeable gap in the center of this divine sword. I observed it during the second part of the Sword Inquiry. It’s really there! I have no idea who did it, but they even managed to damage a divine sword…” Lu Xun thought to himself.

As for his duel with Ye Sui’an, after reviewing it in his mind, he felt his performance was nearly flawless, without much to improve. He couldn’t help but compliment himself, “Excellent!”

Next, Lu Xun needed to sort out his task rewards!

The reward of 100,000 experience points had already been credited. For Lu Xun at his current stage, 100,000 experience points was quite a fortune.

The 3000 sect reputation points had also been added. His Demon Sect reputation points were now almost at 9000 and still rapidly increasing!

Even though not many Demon Sect disciples had watched his Sword Inquiry with Ye Sui’an, the patrolling disciples at the Lead Peak would surely advertise for Lu Xun.

After all, the one he defeated was not an ordinary person, but a leader among the new generation of sword cultivators!

Lu Xun not only helped the Demon Sect win this gamble, but also brought great fame to the Demon Sect!

Indeed, in the past years, they would usually win the first two rounds directly. As the Demon Sect didn’t have many impressive sword cultivator rookies, others would feel that the Demon Sect was lagging in the way of the sword.

But now it’s completely different. Ye Sui’an, who was highly praised, was easily defeated by our Young Elder. We don’t need to hide anymore. We can loudly tell everyone that our Young Elder is, in fact, a natural sword embryo!

In the Demon Sect, despite everyone seeming pretty relaxed and casual, the cohesion in the sect is actually very strong. And in such a bonded group, what Lu Xun did made them feel proud.

At least, when they descend the mountain and meet other Swordsmen, they can hold their heads even higher!

The world’s top swordsman belongs to our Demon Sect, as does the one with the highest swordsmanship aptitude among the newer generations!

Isn’t it obvious how amazing we are?

Moreover… although Ye Sui’an is known as the most handsome man in the West State, according to the patrolling disciples on Lead Peak, even in appearance, he didn’t win over our Young Elder.

Many Demon Sect disciples’ shared thought was: “I knew it! How could there be somone more handsome than our Young Elder?!”

Lu Xun sat on his bed, watched the reputation points increase in value for a while and thought to himself: “I’m not sure if I can surpass 10,000 this time.”

He guessed that exceeding 10,000 reputation points might be a tough call. He was still one opportunity away from completing the third stage of the reputation points task…

As time went by, it became increasingly difficult to gain reputation points. With the current growth rate, Lu Xun was already very satisfied.

“Ye Sui’an really is a useful tool. I wish he’d come more often.” Lu Xun mused to himself.

“Why did he stop dueling after one loss? If he didn’t admit defeat and challenged me again, I could win against him a few more times. Maybe then my reputation points could increase even more.” Lu Xun expressed some regret.

Now, the only remaining reward from the task was a coupon that could upgrade any swordsmanship under level five, regardless of the skill level!

This was definitely a treasure for Lu Xun.

Because his Sword Cultivating Technique was at the Orange level, and every upgrade was extremely expensive!

Plus the Anonymous Five Elements Cultivation Method and the Ancient Five Elements Formation… Lu Xun felt like he wasn’t just leveling up one character, but seven or eight characters.

But spending experience points and upgrade coupons on the Sword Cultivating Technique didn’t bother him.

Because what he ‘nourished’ with his Sword Cultivating Technique wasn’t a sword, but himself…

Man is the sword, nourishing the sword is nourishing oneself.

An unusual thought popped into his mind: “So, what level of a sword am I now?”

“Yellow?”

“Blue?”

“Hisss-! Will I eventually turn myself into an Orange Martial…” Lu Xun gasped sharply.

But he had a feeling there was a problem somewhere.
