There's Something Wrong With This Account

Ten Thousand Sword Mountain]

The days of the New Year passed swiftly. After the lively celebrations of the Demon Sect ended, things returned to their usual pace.

Life for Lu Xun was no different from his usual routine, except for the fact that he couldn’t sleep properly every night.

Today was the fifteenth day after enduring the ‘Ink Formation’ every night, he would finally receive 2 points of Formation Qualification.

Lin Chan’s cultivation base stabilized at the ninth level of the Qi Consumption Technique, just one step away from Great Perfection.

Lu Xun had no idea what words the master had written in his copybook, as they were told not to share the information, so Lu Xun did not ask to avoid putting Lin Chan in an awkward position.

Speaking of which, time flies when one cultivates. It was now a new year and Lin Chan had turned sixteen.

At the age of sixteen, many girls in this world would have already been married.

As for Lu Xun… He didn’t even know which age he should declare to be his own.

After all, he was reincarnated into his younger self, so his age from his previous life naturally didn’t count.

He decided to settle with being eternally eighteen, given his handsome looks.

With a swordsmanship aptitude of 10, one would be called a Natural Sword Embryo, so wouldn’t it be fair to call my charisma of 10 as Naturally Handsome Embryo?

There’s nothing wrong with saying that a fairy is always eighteen, right?

Recently however, the continuous snowfall had lessened Lu Xun’s fascination with snow, as it was nothing unusual for him as a Southerner.

After all, having snow every few days, he began to get used to it.

During his free time, he, along with Mao Nanbei and Lin Chan, would make snowmen in front of the Small Study.

The continuous heavy snowfall resulted in a large amount of accumulation on the mountain. If Mao Nanbei didn’t use her spiritual power, the snow would cover her up to the knees while walking.

This annoyed her, so in these past few days, she either clung to Lu Xun or sat on his shoulder, clearly intending to use him as a means of transportation. “Although she can fly, she probably wants to take advantage of me.”

Upon reflection, it seemed that Mao Nanbei originally brought Lu Xun back to the sect intending to make him her mount.

Such a young age and already up to no good. All she thinks about is riding. If it wasn’t for the fact that he couldn’t win against her right now, Lu Xun would definitely spank her.

As night blanketed the earth, after the night deepened, Lu Xun returned to his room.

As long as he survived this night, he would finally receive 2 points of Formation Qualification.

Lu Xun was browsing the forum while waiting for the Chou Hour.

It was still a while before the public beta would be released, but the forum was already buzzing with activity.

And Lu Xun clearly remembered that after the public beta, it became even more heated!

Many games become popular right after public beta releases, but then gradually lose players. However, “Heavenly Dust” was a game that maintained its popularity, always lively and addictive no matter how much players played.

After spending an hour on the forum, Lu Xun took out the copybook from his arms, slowly opened it, and waited for it to take effect.

By now, he had become immune to the word ‘Chou’.

After more than ten days of being drilled, he faced a dense array of ‘Chou’ every night, and apart from confirming he didn’t have trypophobia, he had also gained insights on many cunning tactics in Formations.

After all, the Ink Formation changed a thousand ways, and after suffering these hardships, he had seemingly experienced countless Formation attacks.

An hour slowly passed, with Lu Xun sitting cross-legged on the bed. The moment his fantasy world fell apart, the copybook in his hand turned to dust.

Before he opened his eyes, his whole body shivered for a few times.

“The power on the last day was actually doubled. I almost couldn’t hold on.” Lu

Xun took a deep breath and entered a calm state of mind.

He opened the task interface, and the task ‘Ink Formation’ showed as completed.

Without hesitation, Lu Xun received the task reward.

The 2 points of Formation Qualification immediately appeared in his account.

At that moment, Lu Xun felt different.

Though it wasn’t like the increase in his swordsmanship aptitude that resulted in the direct formation of a Sword Heart, he felt more proficient when deploying formations, with their power increasing by quite a few notches!

The greater advantage was, he could now achieve “triple-tasking with one mind”.

In other words, he could cast three formations at the same time, maintaining high concentration without making mistakes.

“Could it be that alongside being born with a natural Sword Embryo, I could also add the identity of a formation genius to myself?” Lu Xun chuckled lightly.

Lu Xun closed his character panel, preparing to get a good sleep.

“I guess I’ll stay in bed a bit later tomorrow morning. Probably, Little Chan will bring hot porridge to my bedside by the time I wake up.”

Speaking of which, it was already past midnight, and today was the fifteenth day of the lunar new year, the Lantern Festival.

At noon, outside the Demon Sect Mountain.

The Demon Sect’s Lead Peak was like a huge Sword Sheath. The top of this peak was flattened by Yan Li with just half a Sword Qi.

The rest of the half Sword Qi was hidden in the mountain, serving as the first loop of the Demon Sect’s Mountain Protection Array.

Right opposite to the Lead Peak was a small hill. This small mountain, which was facing the Lead Peak far away, was not within the range of the Demon Sect’s mountains.

The top of this peak was also flattened by a sword, done by Shen Yan.

One day, Shen Yan used his magic to help Lu Xun see the half Sword Qi inside the mountain. It shyly hid away.

Shen Yan also told him that every year, a large number of sword cultivators with exquisite cultivation base came to the outside of the Demon Sect’s gate to observe this half Sword Qi.

And every few years, there would be fearless ones who dared to challenge this Sword Qi.

Those who wanted to see usually couldn’t see, and those who wanted to challenge usually ended up dead. Even if they didn’t die, they were mostly crippled.

The Demon Sect was quite considerate for the observers and challengers. Shen Yan painstakingly flattened the hill with the best view, facilitating everyone to observe from afar and comprehend the Sword Qi.

Of course, it also made it convenient for those unafraid of death to come and face it.

The reason Yan Li could shut himself away for years and still hold the title of the world’s number one sword cultivator was that until now, nobody could break even his half Sword Qi with one of their own.

If you couldn’t shatter Yan Li’s half Sword Qi with your own, how could you dare to compete for the title of the World’s First Sword Cultivator?

At this moment, there was already a crowd gathered on this small peak.

They were all trying to “see through” the secret of Lead Peak and get a clear look at Yan Li’s half Sword Qi.

But no matter what methods they utilized, they could never see it.

Interestingly, there were many people on the mountain, but they sat in two separate groups.

From their posture, it seemed like there were clear boundaries between the groups and they had no intention of crossing over.

If someone crossed the line, a duel was inevitable.

Their robes were all light blue and they looked almost identical. The only difference was the group on the left had an embroidered character “—” (One) on their clothes, while the group on the right had a “h” (Ten Thousand).

They were from One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain, respectively.

These two sects, split from the Sword Mountain, were always in a rivalry, whether openly or in the dark.

But their purpose for coming here today was the same, to fulfil the many years of commitment…

Challenge the sword cultivators of the Demon Sect!

Then, to reclaim what should originally belong to them!

(ps: I apologize, I indeed overestimated myself haha! Will continue trying harder tomorrow! )
