There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 301: Clouds Disappear, Ming Yue Vanishes (Requesting monthly tickets!)

The mist appeared like clouds descending to the mortal world, and the clouds were like mist ascending to the sky.

Lu Xun’s sword intent was just like this mist and cloud.

Different from the sword intent realized when observing the moon with the Sword Mountain Elder, it did not have that kind of dazzling feeling, but more so the ethereal and elusive atmosphere.

Within the[Moon in the Well], the current scene was much like a common weather phenomenon – cloudy.

The mist slowly ascended and gradually spread, covering the moon that hung high above in the heavens.

This was a contest between sword intents, hence there was somewhat of a lyrical aesthetic.

Clearly, Lu Xun was subtly gaining the upper hand.

Outside the[Moon in the Well], Ping Shanhai and Qian Zhengyi were having a peculiar feeling.

These two were swordsman big shots, with profound cultivation bases, and their understanding of sword Dao was among the world’s top tier.

For them, reaching small completion in sword intent was not a big deal, they had seen much of it.

However, at such a young age and this level of cultivation base, such understanding was excessively extraordinary.

Nevertheless, no matter what, while watching they inevitably had an overlooking feeling from a power level perspective.

How should it be described? It was somewhat like adults watching children fighting.

He admitted that at such a tender age, certainly he wasn’t as fierce or powerful as you, but now he is an adult, with a different perspective.

Yet if they carefully observed Lu Xun’s sword intent, watched this battle, they were immersed in a sense of refreshing satisfaction!

Because it was extreme!

Yes, because the sword intent of Lu Xun and the elder’s left-behind sword intent, had both reached their current extreme.

The ultimate of the second realm!

The ultimate of the sword intent small completion!

And after Lu Xun gained the upper hand, the two could not figure out the reason.

“It should have been a stalemate.” Ping Shanhai frowned.

Since both were at the pinnacle, the outcome should not have been this.

Qian Zhengyi nodded in agreement, saying, “He might be keeping something back, and this tactic is so clever, it could even deceive you and me.”

The younger generations should not be underestimated.

Just then, as if Qian Zhengyi had thought of something, he summoned Ye Sui’an, “Sui An, come here.”

Upon seeing his master calling, Ye Sui’an immediately stepped forward.

Qian Zhengyi started to speak: “Close your eyes, calm your heart.”

Then, he stretched out his chubby hand, lightly stroked his finger on Ye Sui’an’s tightly closed eyelids, using a secret technique to allow him to observe the battle inside the Moon in the Well.

Such a sight would probably not be seen twice in one’s lifetime.

In Qian Zhengyi’s view, this would undoubtedly benefit his disciple’s sword Dao cultivation.

“Heh, Fatty, you indeed have many tricks.” Ping Shanhai laughed.

Qian Zhengyi couldn’t be bothered with this unsophisticated lame, but to Ye Sui’an who was closing his eyes, he advised, “Study well, watch closely, and comprehend thoroughly.”

Upon hearing his words, Yes Sui’an nodded silently.

By the time he saw the scene within the trial ground, the view inside had already changed.

The clouds in the sky were continuously spreading, not only intending to cover the moon in the sky, but also to envelop the entire night sky!

This contest of sword intents was clearly nearing its conclusion.

Lu Xun could feel the excitement of the small sword in his Sword Heart.

This was also the first time he had felt evenly matched in a competition against someone of the same level.

In the past, he would always crush the competition of the same realm…

“If Little Chan could have such strength at this stage, that would be amazing.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

This was a level that even the original Sword Mountain Elder had not reached.

But at this very moment, the glow of the moon was amplifying, and its radiance increased.

After all, the mist was just a mist, like a thin veil.

At this moment, faint moonlight was penetrating the mist!

“The final decision is approaching.” Lu Xun thought to himself.

At this moment, he clearly felt his spiritual power and divine sense being rapidly consumed.

Clearly, although the[Heart Sword]was powerful, it used up a lot of energy.

Even his astounding reservoir of energy couldn’t hold out for much longer.

And he still had the main task to complete next, he couldn’t lose all his energy here, exhausting all his spiritual power.

Luckily, he could still[Upgrade].

The experience points had always been in reserve, just for this moment!

BREAKING through in the heat of the moment was normal for cultivators, isn’t that outrageous?

With a single thought, Lu Xun activated his status panel and silently selected Upgrade.

His Spiritual Power and Divine Sense were instantly filled up, reaching unprecedented peaks!

You are still a level 29 enhanced version of the Sword Mountain Elder.

But I am now the level 30 Lu Xun!

Clouds immediately filled the sky.

Lu Xun flicked the sleeve of his black robe, and the clouds and mist disappeared almost instantly.

But looking up again…

there was no moon.

“You’ve won,” voiced Ping Shanhai, the rest of his sentences stuck in his throat.

The moon-themed Sword Intent just now was even stronger than the full force blow from the Elder in his prime.

Even under these circumstances, Lu Xun had still won.

Even without an actual breakthrough at the last moment, the result would likely have been a draw at least.

How Lu Xun managed to do so, remained a mystery to everyone else. Only he knew the difficulty in achieving it.

Although everyone was on the same level of cultivation and at the small perfection stage of Sword Intent.

There was still a huge gap between someone with a Swordsmanship Aptitude of 10 and one with a score of 6.

Thanks to the Heart Sword’s suppression, Lu Xun might have lost from the very beginning otherwise.

As stated before, the so-called Natural Sword Embryo can be understood as a Buff Enhancement, which strengthens sword cultivators in all aspects.

While what Lu Xun, the Non-Swordbearer, could do was to Debuff, weakening his opponents to achieve control.

Others might reach the state of integrating thousands of swords.

And if Lu Xun grows strong enough, he might be able to declare: Except for me, there is no sword under heaven…

Pondering carefully, it felt somewhat strange.

However, it was a good thing that he’d won in the end.

A string of notifications popped up before his eyes.

“[You have passed the trial of the Moon in the Well.]”

“[You have gained 200,000 Experience Points]”

“[You are on the leaderboard of trial completion. According to your ranking, you have gained an additional 250,000 Experience Points.]”

With 450,000 Experience Points now in his possession, enough for others to level up twice, for Lu Xun, it was barely enough for a single level up.

Furthermore, he was now at level 30, and he needed to complete a promotion mission before he could continue leveling.

Ai Jiang, the Guardian who was hiding somewhere, had also been closely watching Lu Xun’s performance.

Very soon, he performed his duty as the Guardian, doing what needed to be done.

His androgynous and soft voice echoed throughout the entire Moon in the Well:

“Lu Xun of the Demon Sect has passed the challenge, ranking first!”

With a clatter, a wooden plaque with Lu Xun’s name was dropped on the table. A disciple immediately picked up the plaque and hung it up, replacing Ye Sui’an’s position.

Now on top of all participants who attempted the challenge!

“First of the Purple Palace!”

“Bloody Hell, seriously?!”

“The World Protagonist is the Son of the Universe. If he’s not first, who should be?”

Outside of the trial ground, the crowd was all abuzz with discussion, the atmosphere was buzzing.

Inside the trial ground, Lu Xun, the person in question, was alone. Yet he appeared exceptionally calm and serene.

Because of his upgrade, his state was pretty good, and he didn’t feel the slightest exhaustion of Spiritual Power.

“That’s good, it saves time recovering Spiritual Power,” he mused.

Lu Xun raised his left hand lightly, which was holding the sword sheath, and said to it:

“Let’s go, Sheath, we’re off to play with fire.”

The rumored Undying Fire was in there, and having completed the challenge successfully, Lu Xun could refine a Magic Weapon in the fire.

The black rope on the sword sheath began to float in the air, wriggling a few times. It seemed very eager, as if saying: “Let’s go, let’s go!”

It seemed very interested in exciting events like these.

For Lu Xun, refining his sword sheath was naturally the best choice.

Meanwhile, he intended to probe this legendary Undying Fire.

If the conditions allowed…

Heh, heh!

“I have a bold idea…”
