Starting with Fireflies, Speedrun the World

[Without horses, while it might not be the most top-tier fantasy world, it's still quite dangerous, so... good luck, little girl.]

"..."

Try your hard work my ass!

I used to say I never wanted to be transported to some fantasy world, but here I am.

Although this world is much better than those fantastical worlds that destroy the entire universe at the drop of a hat.

But it's also very dangerous.

I used to think Yun Li was strong enough, but now it seems that she is far from strong enough. Not to mention the Upper Realm, she is no match for even the Dou Sheng in this world.

The huge sum of points I have is probably in jeopardy.

Is it because she was too invincible in the previous world and earned too many useless points that the system threw her here?

The girl had serious doubts...

Then the girl quickly checked the conditions for clearing this world; if they were too difficult, she would have a headache.

When Yun Li saw the conditions for passing the level, she was slightly taken aback and wondered if she had misunderstood the system. Of course not!

Is this system messing with her?

[Completion Mission: Become a sword hunter and hunt down renowned swords from across the land! Or become a swordsmith, forge legendary swords, and make them famous!]

Moreover, the system has also enabled a hidden sword function.

Whether it's a sword used to hunt others or a sword you forge yourself, only swords that meet the minimum standards are qualified to be collected.

The Hidden Sword feature has a total of 1,382 collectible illustrations.

The minimum requirement to clear this world is to have at least one hundred swords that can be collected, and at least one sword must be among the single-digit numbers between 1 and 9.

Yes, there are 1382 collection numbers. The earlier the number, the higher the requirements. Let alone the top ten, even the top one hundred swords must be divine swords that are one in ten thousand.

The conditions for passing the level are not only to collect the sword, but also to make it famous.

However, one good thing is that she doesn't necessarily have to make a name for herself with it; she can give it to someone else as well. After all, there are too many swords for Yun Li to use all by herself.

Looking at the number 1382, Yun Li was a little concerned...

Yun Li's father, Han Guang, created 1382 magic swords using the Sui Yang.

Yun Li's greatest goal in life is to destroy all of these thousand-plus demonic swords in order to atone for his sins.

In her memories, Yun Li had already hunted down 312 demonic swords.

Therefore, seeing the number of the Hidden Sword and the completion task she had forged herself, Yun Li couldn't help but overthink.

It feels like these two tasks are just playing a trick on me.

There are two conditions for clearing the game. One is to continue hunting for the Demon Sword in this world, which was Yun Li's original goal in the Star Iron Universe.

The other one, forging this many swords, seems to be repeating the actions of her father, Han Guang. However, where in the Doupo world would she find so many precious swords to hunt? It would be more like using different kinds of fire instead.

In her view, the only option left was the latter, which made her feel a bit like... becoming the person she disliked the most...

Even if she had the chance to forge 1,300 swords, Yun Li would never forge a demonic sword like her father.

Moreover, there is no time or sun in this world to infuse them into the swords.

It's impossible to use those Soul Palace members, Soul Clan members, or soul entities who like to make "hehehehehehe" laughs to forge swords, right?

But you know what, it actually seems to work...

Infuse it with a soul, and you have a ready-made sword spirit?

Especially a powerful soul like "Old Man Yao" might not be much less effective at enhancing the sword wielder than a demonic sword.

Aren't those demonic swords infused with the essence of the sun like old grandfathers who accompany you?

However, most of the time, these demonic swords of the year only bring destruction to their wielders. Even those with strong wills can be bewitched by the year and fall into eternal damnation.

This is why Yun Li insisted on hunting the Demon Sword.

Although not everyone is bewitched by the demonic swords, Yun Li has come into contact with hundreds of demonic swords, each one trying to tempt her, but she remains unaffected.

There are also swords like Lone Cloud, but no, Lone Cloud is not a sword of magic, but a sword of heroes.

But such people and Suiyang are far too few compared to the total number of people and the Demon Sword...

"Is there something wrong with this mission? If you want me to hunt demonic swords, shouldn't you send me to a world where swordsmanship is prevalent? Why did you choose this world?"

"I don't recall any famous swords or legendary swords in this world!"

After learning about the Hidden Sword function, Yun Li put her hands on her hips and questioned the system. In her opinion, from the beginning, she only had the latter option—sword forging—for the two completion tasks.

Although Yun Li's sword-forging skills are beyond question, as long as she has the right materials, she can forge a truly peerless divine sword, and coincidentally, there are quite a few top-quality materials in this world.

She could indeed use these top-quality materials to forge one divine sword after another.

There's even that so-called "different fire," which can be used to make alchemy more efficient, and is naturally even more necessary for sword forging.

With the strange fire and those top-quality materials, she was confident that she could forge weapons that surpassed those forged by her father, Han Guang, and even her grandfather, General Huai Yan.

A sword has no fixed form; a blade of grass can be a sword, a leaf can be a sword, so why can't a knife, a baseball bat, or a hammer be a sword?

[How could a sword be such a narrow-minded object...]

The system answered Yun Li's question directly.

"A sword has no fixed form, so that's how it is! My thinking was too narrow."

Yun Li instantly realized, who said only a sword is a sword?

Grandpa [General Zhuyuan] also said that swords have no fixed form, and among the demonic swords she hunted were hundreds of unusual swords, whose appearances had absolutely no relation to swords in the traditional sense.

Even the bat in the Blazers' hands is like a bat sword.

In the realm of swordsmanship found in wuxia novels, the highest level is to have no sword in hand but a sword in one's heart; every blade of grass and every tree can be a sword.

If that's the case, then it seems that this sword-hunting mission isn't out of the question.

However, it's best to pursue both sword hunting and sword forging simultaneously, since you can earn a considerable number of points for each sword you collect, in addition to meeting the level completion requirements.

We can't waste it...

Before that, she needs to improve her skills.

While their current strength is not bad, it is still not enough compared to those top-tier experts.

Just as the girl was about to examine the ratio of destiny power to points in this world to determine which destiny was more suitable for her, she suddenly sensed something.

A terrible malice was targeting her.

Yun Li quickly jumped back more than ten meters, then grabbed Lao Tie with both hands, and quickly scanned the surroundings, soon locking onto a cliff.

Although they were far away from her, and ordinary people would not have been able to observe them at all, neither she nor the person who came was affected by the distance.

It was an enormous magical beast, somewhat resembling a leopard, but with wings. It exuded a dense chill, and its limbs and many parts of its body were encased in ice, like armor of ice.

"Warcraft?"

Such a ferocious beast, emanating such a dense chill, was clearly no ordinary creature. Considering the state of this world, it was obvious that this was a so-called magical beast!

Moreover, judging from the aura, it was not just ordinary unfamiliar.

It's definitely not a level one or two monster...

Having just arrived in this world, I didn't expect to be targeted by monsters. Could it be that the noise I made while trying out Yun Li's swordsmanship attracted them?

The girl was unsure, but she was not afraid at all.

I'll use it to test my strength in this world. If it's not enough, I'll exchange it for the Power of Destiny as soon as possible.

So there's nothing to be afraid of...

When she noticed that the monster in front of her was about to attack, Yun Li immediately became serious. She held her heavy sword, and her aura became sharp.

"Roar!"

With a tremendous roar, the Icewing Leopard Beast caused the surrounding rocks and trees to collapse under the impact of the sound waves. Then, countless ice crystals appeared out of thin air in front of it and shot towards Yun Li.

"Hey bro, get ready to go!"

Talking to the greatsword in her hand, Yun Li, now serious, took the initiative to rush forward. With both hands, she easily destroyed the ice crystals with the greatsword, and continued forward, leaping hundreds of meters in one step to reach the monster.

The monster then leaped up and pounced on the girl, attempting to tear her apart.

"Well done!"

Yun Li unleashed her strength, lifted the old iron, and violently slammed it down.

The monster showed signs of using special abilities, but the next moment it was still sent flying by the girl's sword, crashing heavily into countless trees before finally plunging into a cliff.

"Warcraft? Hmph, they're nothing special!"

Yun Li was quite satisfied after smashing her opponent away with a single sword strike; this kind of violent combat was so exhilarating.

Speaking of which, monsters in this world are quite valuable. I wonder how good monster meat tastes? It shouldn't be any different from the barbecue in Golden Man Alley, right?

Just thinking about the smell of those barbecued meats made Yun Li's mouth water instantly.

Staring at the monsters ahead, they grew even more impatient; today they would eat monster roast meat.

However, just as Yun Li approached the magical beast, she suddenly noticed that many more magical beasts seemed to have appeared around her.

There are a lot of monsters in this place!

But that's good, we can try them all then, and there's bound to be the most delicious barbecue!

I noticed the monsters appearing all around, a variety of kinds, about seven or eight of them, all attracted by the noise.

However, none of them attacked directly; instead, they all slowly approached Yun Li at the same time.

The reason for such strong hostility is that this is not a place for humans.

The Ice Winged Leopard, which had been knocked away by Yun Li, looked incredibly disheveled and nearly dead, but thanks to its magical beast talent, it managed to get back up with difficulty.

Chapter 3 Even the Marshal of the Immortal Boat had to give way to Lady Yun Li.

Yun Li gripped the heavy sword Lao Tie with both hands, her gaze sweeping around as she watched the surrounding magical beasts approach step by step, emitting dangerous howls.
