Song of Adolescence

Chapter 64 I have three swords, please test them

The flourishing blossoms were withering, the summer breeze was blowing.

Very quickly, three months had passed. The most beautiful springtime of Snow Moon City had departed and the leisurely coolness of summer arrived. Tang Lian left again to carry out a few more assignments. As the head disciple of Snow Moon City, he had a heavy burden on his shoulders, and he had to frequently leave the city to carry out assignments. On the other hand, Xiao Se and Sikong Qianluo who were both also disciples of the Snow Moon City citymaster, were very relaxed. Every day, they would be playing hide-and-seek games in Snow Moon City. When he got tired from running, Xiao Se would lie on the roof, basking in the sun or watching the moon, or he would play weiqi with Sikong Changfeng. Sometimes, he would also read the untitled book given to him by Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan. Today, it so happened that Sikong Qianluo had left the city. Xiao Se rejoiced at his freedom and was lying around reading a book and basking in the sun facing the direction of Cangshan.

Speaking of Cangshan, it seems that the person on Cangshan hadn’t come down for a long time. Since they parted ways after the Full Blossom Festival, Lei Wujie hadn’t stepped one foot off Cangshan. But today, Xiao Se had a feeling that something was going to happen. He put down his book and looked in the direction of Cangshan. He felt a gust of wind flashed past, and when he turned his head, Tang Lian was already standing there.

"You’re back?" Xiao Se glanced at him.

Tang Lian nodded. "We’re both disciples of the citymasters of Snow Moon City. Why is it that you guys are here basking in the sun every day, while I have to run errands out of the city all the time. This time, I almost lost my life."

"Who are you? You’re the da-shixiong of Snow Moon City, ah. Who knows, you could be the Citymaster in the future. It’s only natural that you need to put more effort and get a little tired." Xiao Se grinned at the other’s misfortune.

Tang Lian tipped his toes slightly, and a small fragment on the tile flew towards Xiao Se. Xiao Se smiled a little, leaned sideways, and his whole body moved forward by a foot.

"Looks like Qianluo hasn't been neglecting you during this period. You are becoming more and more proficient with your lightness skill." Tang Lian laughed.

Xiao Se stood up and brushed off the dust on his body. "Da-shixiong, you don’t have to be so generous. If you really want to kill me, shatter all the bricks and tiles on this roof, and then show another one of your Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees. Even if I want to dodge, I will have no place to hide. By the way, you said you almost died this time. Which martial expert did you meet?"

"This time, I met two old friends. The lunar maiden bids with a smile, the nether duke kills in fury. Remember them?" Tang Lian asked.

"I was almost killed by them. How can I not remember them?" Xiao Se said.

"Ming Hou was originally the eldest son of pavilion master Xie Liuyi of Wangyi Pavilion. Back then, while Wangyi Pavilion and the entire family were exterminated, Ming Hou was knocked out. When he woke up, he lost all memory of that night. He had been searching for vengeance for years and finally found the answer from Wuxin. The person who killed everyone in Wangyi Pavilion was Ming Hou’s shifu, Old Man Tianquan. This time, Ming Hou went to the Tianquan Pavilion to seek revenge and claimed he was going to wash the Tianquan Pavilion with blood."

"The result?" Xiao Se didn’t show any surprise either.

"The result was, Tianquan Pavilion was destroyed, Old Man Tianquan fled, and Ming Hou was seriously injured. Then, Yue Ji arrived and rescued him, bringing him away," Tang Lian replied.

Xiao Se sighed. "Such a pity. A scumbag like Old Man Tianquan should be killed with a single blow."

Tang Lian didn't add to the topic. He looked in the direction of Cangshan and suddenly said, "How’s that silly boy doing recently?"

"Don't know." Xiao Se shook his head.

"Don't know?" Tang Lian frowned slightly.

"It's been three months since he left the mountain. During the Full Blossom Festival, he left the mountain on his own without permission, and he’s probably in detention now. I don't know any martial arts, and I wouldn’t dare to go to Cangshan to look for him. I’d probably get killed by the sword immortal in one move," Xiao Se said after thinking about it.

"The silly boy also said that in the future, the three of us will be exploring the martial world together, just like the three Snow Moon heroes when they were young. But, who knows when he’ll be able to complete his training and come down the mountain," Tang Lian murmured.

Cangshan, Wanhua Peak.

The Sword Immortal Li Hanyi sat there with his eyes closed, deep in thought. The famous sword, Armoured Glacier, was silent and lying to one side.

Today was the three-month deadline. According to their agreement, today, his disciple Lei Wujie will test his sword against him. If he was satisfied with the result, then he would leave the mountain and go to Lei Clan Fort to see Lei Hong one last time. The last time the Snow Moon Sword Immortal left the city was four years ago.

Daoist Sword Immortal Zhao Yuzhen, Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan, and the Murderous Dread Sword Lei Hong were all names he hadn’t heard for a long time. Yet, they’d all appeared suddenly. Li Hanyi sighed internally. After being secluded in Snow Moon City for so many years, did he really want to leave?

Lei Wujie carried his Rainfall sword and slowly walked up the mountain. For the last three months, Li Hanyi had been teaching him the sword every day, but he only taught verbally, and never struck at him with a sword again. He knew that their next sword duel would be three months later. And a month ago, Li Hanyi left the straw hut and went to practice his sword on the nineteen peaks of Cangshan, leaving Lei Wujie to practice hard in the straw hut every day. Until a week ago, Lei Wujie suddenly kept his sword and started closing his eyes to meditate like his master.

Hidden sword of wind and thunder, drawing the blade in all directions! This was the sword-drawing technique taught by the Sword Immortal Li Hanyi!

"Well, looking at yourself now, are you really qualified to test your sword against the Snow Moon Sword Immortal?" Lei Wujie looked at the hilt in his hand, his mind somewhat in a daze. Excluding the most profound of the Profound, that Spirit Wandering Profound Realm which was akin to turning into an immortal, the top martial experts were divided into three realms: Vajra Mortal Realm, Unrestrained Earthly Realm, and Unfettered Heavenly Realm. It was said that Snow Moon Sword Immortal entered the Unfettered Heavenly Realm at the age of nineteen, and was now at the peak of the Unfettered Heavenly Realm. That means he’s only a few steps away from entering the Spirit Wandering Profound Realm which could be considered as half a god. As for himself, he was not even close to touching the edge of a martial expert. Considering the young disciples of Snow Moon City, only Tang Lian had officially entered the Vajra Mortal Realm and Sikong Qianluo was only a step away. With his sword which was at a level below the Vajra Mortal Realm, he was going against a sword immortal’s sword at the Unfettered Heavenly Realm, would the result be the same as the day he challenged the Tower of Ascension and be beaten down by one sword move? After all, could his current self be compared to that day when his sword had joined forces with Li Fansong?

I have to fight even if I can't win. Lei Wujie smiled wryly and scratched his head. They said there were four seasons on the mountain. As Lei Wujie walked up slowly, he was not in a hurry, and he climbed from the slightly warm foot of the mountain to the side of the mountain where flowers were still in full bloom with the warmth of spring. There, he sat down and rested for a while. After a long time, he continued to climb upwards all the way until he reached the summit where it was starting to feel cold. He saw the Snow Moon Sword Immortal all dressed in white, sitting on the mountain peak, looking like an immortal. Lei Wujie came to a stop and bowed his head in a salute.

Li Hanyi still had his eyes closed, and slowly, he said, "You’re here."

Lei Wujie nodded. "Shifu, I’ve come to fulfill our agreement."

Li Hanyi still had his eyes closed and didn’t reply.

Suddenly, Lei Wujie grasped the hilt of his sword, and a sudden hidden thunder crackled around the hilt. He swept aside all earlier feelings of serenity and easiness, and his brows were filled with hostility. He said solemnly, "I have three swords, please test them!"

The Armoured Glacier, which had been lying quietly on the side, suddenly vibrated with a loud cry. Li Hanyi finally opened his eyes and slowly said, "Very well!"
