Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 48 Has the dust settled?

Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing exchanged a smile and shouted in unison!

"Eliminating this scourge for humanity! Yay!"

Fang Yuan did not cheer, but simply stood quietly beside Ren Xing.

Lin Xiufeng happily joined in the group's fun and shouted:
"To rid humanity of this scourge!"

In the end, Wang Guan's cunning backfired, leading to his downfall.

If he hadn't killed all his accomplices from the King's Gang and Shanwang Village to keep all the spoils for himself, he wouldn't have ended up failing so miserably.

However, Lin Xiufeng was still happy with the result.

Making bad people suffer, even to the point of dying a horrible death, that is justice in the world!

"Let's go! Let's fight the Mist Spirit King!"

As Lin Xiufeng spoke, she strode ahead.

Zhao Youyue quickly chased after him, calling out:

"You cheated! Start over!"

Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing also rushed over.

Fang Yuan pulled Ren Xing along and nodded in acknowledgment:
"Let's go over there and fight the Mist Spirit King."

Ren Xing was slightly taken aback, realizing that she was too relaxed.

Money should serve as a cautionary tale!

Ultimately, they hadn't known Lin Xiufeng for very long, so they should still be a little cautious at times like this.

If Lin Xiufeng didn't have that kind of malice, that would be best.

Since they meant no harm, there's no reason not to let them fight the Mist Spirit King from a distance.

It's too far away in the fog to see anything anyway.

Lin Xiufeng and Zhao Youyue didn't notice anything amiss; they were busy punching and kicking the Mist Spirit King, comfortably absorbing the power of the Heavenly Martial Realm.

Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing were close by, chatting and laughing, occasionally reporting on their progress in absorbing the Heavenly Martial Power.

Then they discovered that their absorption rate was much slower than Lin Xiufeng's.

"Captain, we'll absorb nutrients even faster after we break through, right?"

"Definitely. With increased power, the impact of attacks will be stronger, and more Heavenly Martial Power will be released."

Lin Xiufeng was filled with anticipation; this time, he was sure he would master the Heavenly Martial Heart!
After a while, Liu Qingqing suddenly realized that she hadn't heard Ren Xing speak for a while, so she called out:
"Ren Xing, why aren't you saying anything?"

"We're behind—far away!"

"Why are we so far apart! We have to shout to chat!"

"The back is closer to the cliff edge, and we're afraid the dense fog might suddenly absorb the Heavenly Martial Power again, so we need to run faster."

Fang Yuan replied, "That reason is quite appropriate!"
So much so that Liu Qingqing, with a hint of approval, grabbed Ma Jin's arm and shook it, saying:
"Fang Yuan is absolutely right! Shall we move and fight our way around to the rear, Commander?"

"You guys go ahead, we're too lazy to move."

Lin Xiufeng refused. Liu Qingqing didn't understand Fang Yuan's thoughts, but he did!
At this point, isn't the best way to demonstrate trust by maintaining distance and making Fang Yuan feel safe?

From today onwards, they will establish a foundation of trust that even the interests of the Mist Spirit King cannot shake.

"Then let's go."

Liu Qingqing was genuinely worried about what Fang Yuan had said, so she and Ma Jin moved over while fighting.

Now that there was no one else around, Zhao Youyue felt it was easier to talk. She nudged Lin Xiufeng's arm and asked, "..."

"The light bead in your pocket looks pretty big, haven't you broken it yet?"

"Because I'm loyal, righteous, and have a sense of justice, I'll keep it and split it with you."

Lin Xiufeng guessed that she had been curious for a long time.

"It didn't look like this at first."

Zhao Youyue reached out and touched Lin Xiufei's pocket, feeling the shape of the light bead.

"Originally a bunch of small light beads, they all merged into one when the dense fog absorbed the Heavenly Martial Power. I guess it's because of the Mist Spirit King."

"So, the Mist Spirit King is the aggregate of all the small light orbs in the Mist Forest Mountain Range?"

Zhao Youyue was deep in thought, but her punches and kicks didn't falter at all, and she even had time to quickly tuck her hair behind her ears.

"I guess so." Lin Xiufeng really wanted to ask her, "Can't you just tie your hair up?"

"Where are we going to put this one?"

As Zhao Youyue spoke, she tucked her loose hair behind her ear and glanced sideways at Lin Xiufeng.

"The word 'An' sounds like 'assembling parts'!"

Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but complain, but thinking about the Armadillo King's light bead, it was crushed by squeezing both palms together, and in the end, half of it was embedded in each palm.

"However, this is not the Light Orb of the Mist Spirit King, and it probably cannot be changed."

Zhao Youyue still remembers the light orb of the wolf, but that's not enough.

"After absorbing the Mist Spirit King, let's try again when we have another chance."

"That's right, we can't afford to delay things. We need to speed things up and break through to the Heavenly Martial Realm as soon as possible!"

Zhao Youyue thought about it, and couldn't help but smile, full of eager anticipation for a breakthrough, and then exclaimed:

"Wow, that's fast! We've only been here for a little over three months."

"Can it be faster than those who suddenly evolved into Celestial Warriors on Azure Star?" Lin Xiufeng thought those were the luckiest. "Thinking about it that way, it's nothing," Zhao Youyue sighed.

"To put it bluntly, many people are held back by places like Linhai Home."

When Lin Xiufeng thought about the true intentions behind the existence of places like Linhai Home, he felt it was a complete rip-off.

Zhao Youyue, however, was not interested in this topic. After remaining silent for a while, she said:
"Once I become a Celestial Warrior, let's go to the Celestial Martial Guild together to find them!"

"Looking for your uncle? You finally remembered to look for him? You weren't in a hurry before, but now that you've become a Celestial Warrior, what's the rush?"

Lin Xiufeng had always felt that Zhao Youyue's order was wrong.

"My uncle said before he left that if you don't have the talent, there's no point in trying to break into the Heavenly Martial Realm. It's a thankless task, and he won't help me even if I come."

Zhao Youyue thought for a moment and continued:

"There's something I need to ask him, but he wouldn't tell me when he left. He told me to let it go and live a good life!"

"But how could I possibly let go? It's impossible!"

"My uncle said that if you're not a Heavenly Martial Warrior, you have no future even if you reach the Heavenly Martial Realm."

"I was unwilling to give up, so I came anyway. But I know that he will never tell me the information I want to know until I become a Heavenly Warrior!"

Lin Xiufeng understood: it would only make sense for Zhao Youyue to go find her uncle if she became a Heavenly Warrior.

"Did you come in to see your longtime crush?"

Are you jealous?

Zhao Youyue laughed upon hearing this, and without waiting for Lin Xiufeng's reply, she continued to laugh to herself:
“My family is very strict. From a young age, all the teachers in my school took bribes from my parents and kept a close eye on me! I never had a chance!”

Lin Xiufeng stopped asking. If it wasn't for love, then it must be for hate.

In fact, he had long suspected it was a deep-seated hatred, otherwise Zhao Youyue wouldn't have had nightmares so often.

Since it's hatred, let's not ask any more questions.

Until the day of revenge arrives, mentioning it brings only sorrow.

In the midst of her happiness, Zhao Youyue indeed did not want to bring up her sad memories.

Although she actually hoped Lin Xiufeng would ask him first, because she was willing to tell him.

However, Zhao Youyue also knew that Lin Xiufeng didn't like to talk about his hatred.

He must be too heartbroken.

Therefore, it's obvious that we wouldn't want her to confide in tears.

"Hey! You still haven't said whether you want to come with me to find my uncle."

As she spoke, Zhao Youyue once again brushed her long hair behind her ear and glanced at him sideways.

"No problem! Could you ask your uncle to help me find a Heavenly Warrior from the Heavenly Martial Guild?"

Lin Xiufeng longs to become a Heavenly Warrior, find his enemies, and avenge himself!
"Sure! I'll ask, and my uncle will definitely help!"

Zhao Youyue confidently gave her a guarantee.

The two chatted and fought the Mist Spirit King, feeling themselves absorbing more and more Heavenly Martial Power.

Until even the top of my head was filled.

"It's full! It's full!" Zhao Youyue exclaimed expectantly, but nothing happened.

“I reached full strength before you, but I can still continue to absorb the power of Heavenly Martial Arts. I don’t even know where it goes.”

Lin Xiufeng arrived a little earlier and wanted to figure out the situation, but unfortunately, the Heavenly Martial Power within his body was clearly abundant.

The absorption rate remains unchanged, and there is no situation where the cells evolve after reaching full capacity and become empty after exhausting the power of the Heavenly Martial Arts.

"That doesn't make sense!"

Zhao Youyue was also puzzled.

The two carefully examined the inside of the body and quickly discovered a small gap in one area.

The surrounding Heavenly Martial Power was clearly pouring into the void, yet it could never be filled. No one knew where all the Heavenly Martial Power that poured in went.

"No need to guess, that is the future Heavenly Martial Heart."

Lin Xiufeng speculated that this was the case.

This situation lasted for several minutes.

Lin Xiufeng suddenly realized and said:

"I was wondering why Wang Guan hadn't broken through to the Heavenly Warrior level. He thought he was just a little short, but in reality, he was way short! It's like a bottomless pit!"

"When will this end? Is it because we lack talent and can't break through at all?"

Zhao Youyue couldn't help but doubt herself.

At this moment, Ma Jin and Liu Qingqing shouted happily:
"Commander, Deputy Commander, Ma Jin and I have broken through! Fang Yuan and Ren Xing too! Have you broken through?"

Congratulations! Keep it up! We're still a little short!

Lin Xiufeng didn't say much, because he didn't know how much longer it would take to get to the point where it was missing!
Lin Xiufeng attempted to guide the Heavenly Martial Power to flow more rapidly into the empty circle.

Sure enough, the total amount of Heavenly Martial Power in his body rapidly decreased.

If you're willing, you can guide the inflow as quickly as you want.

However, the empty circle absorbed most of the Heavenly Martial Power, yet remained unchanged.

Lin Xiufeng tried to manipulate the round object with his mind and found that it really moved as he guided it!
