Battling Records of the Chosen One Chapter 242: Fulfillment of the Promise

Edited by Lord Immortal

Shue Jin was a powerful fighter, while Chu Feng was the most experienced spiritual tattooist. Both of them noticed at the first glance that Lin’s saber was very unusual!

It could tear the air apart and produce a ferocious spirit with its own power, which was far superior to other weapons.

Chu Feng was so curious that he took out a black spiritual saber and asked with shining eyes, “Come on, cut it down!”

Lin Xun was surprised and said, “There’s no need to use this saber as a trial since the value of this blade is very high, in case it is destroyed…”

Shue Jin urged Lin Xun impatiently “Just do it, cut the crap!!”

When Lin Xun saw that Chu Feng was also aspiring to that eagerly, he stopped hesitating and chopped the saber down immediately.

He didn’t use his cultivation; even so, with a bang, the human-rank mid-level spiritual weapon Shue Jin took out was cut in two easily.

Shue Jin’s and Chu Feng’s pupils suddenly shrank. What a terrible force!

Even Lin Xun was surprised at that. Although he was extremely confident in the power of the saber he had made, it still exceeded his expectations that the saber was so devastating.

Buzz!

Lin Xun transferred his remaining spiritual gang power into the saber and heard a strange sound like a dragon singing and a tiger whistling, which made the saber give the impression like a waking beast.

Suddenly, from saber (ninety centimeters long and four-fingers wide) surged out countless bright spiritual patterns like tidal waves, which fled around the blade and presenting a mysterious and dazzling scene.

But soon, all this was replaced by strong ferocity. The whole saber became dark as night, and the murderous light shook the air while humming and trembling.

Shue Jin was shocked. How could this saber be just a Human-rank spiritual weapon? It was almost as powerful as an Earth-rank spiritual weapon.

Qiang!

Lin Xun reined in his spirit and the saber restored its calmness instantly. Its dark body was full of a mysterious and fierce atmosphere.

“Who can imagine that this is merely a high-level Human-rank spiritual weapon? Who can imagine that its power is even superior to a top Human-rank spiritual weapon? It can even compete with Earth-rank spiritual weapons! This is indeed a spiritual treasure! Bestowed by the heaven, it was truly endowed with transcendent spiritual power!”

Chu Feng became fanatical. As a spiritual tattooist with rich experiences, he quickly judged this saber as a peerless treasure in the world.

At this moment, his eyes changed into admiration so much so that he could not help but worship Lin Xun.

At the age of fourteen, Lin had made a unique spiritual treasure in the world. Who could compete with him in spiritual tattoos across the whole empire?

“Give it a name.”

Shue Jin echoed from the side.

“Yes! This saber is wonderful enough to be included in the history of the spiritual tattooists’ works of art. It should be given a recognizable name!”

Chu Feng nodded his head in succession, expressing his high approval.

Lin Xun thought for a moment and said, “Flowing Light.”

This saber was successfully refined with the inspiration of the Flowing-light Spiritual Tattoo. This name was also very memorable to Lin Xun.

This was the origin of the saber Flowing Light. In the years to come, this saber would carve its name in the history of the empire along with Lin Xun’s combat achievements.

Because of the birth of Flowing Light, Chu Feng was completely convinced by Lin Xun. He made friends with Lin before in view of his potential, but now, he really regarded Lin Xun as a competent friend.

Similarly, because of the successful refinement, Shue Jin was looking forward to the day when Lin could make him an armor with spiritual tattoos.

Who knows, it might be another surprise then?

…

Three days later, Lin Xun woke up from meditation, fully energized. There was an exuberant vitality flowing through his whole body.

Lin Xun sighed with emotion that making a saber had cost him three days recovering.

If he hadn’t remembered the Flowing-light Spiritual Tattoo at that time, the saber would not be refined at all.

If he hadn’t reached Heaven-accessing Place, he would never be able to comprehend and control Flowing-light Spiritual Tattoo, which was so unique with magical power.

This was his fortune, full of twisting fate.

Out of the room, Shue Jin, was teasing Chirps in order to lure him to drink. Lin Xun was speechless and worried about bad habits he was teaching Chirps.

“Tomorrow, ShieYutang will come personally to deliver the challenge letter. Are you ready?” Shue Jin smiled and cheered along with Chirps. Then he asked casually.

“There’s only the last step remaining.”

Lin Xun came over, grabbed Chirps and snatched the cup held in the little fellow’s mouth. “Drinking is a bad habit.”

Chirps threw a tantrum to take back his cup, but Lin Xun relentlessly refused, so the little guy could only squat there sulking.

“What’s the last step?”

Shue Jin questioned out of surprise.

With a clang, Lin Xun pulled out the Flowing Light and looked at Shue Jin. “I need to adapt to the power of Flowing Light as soon as possible.”

Shue Jin seemed to understand Lin. He laughingly asked, “You want me to practice with you?”

Lin Xun smiled happily. “If I don’t practice with you, it will be a waste of resources since I’m accompanied by such an overpowered fellow.”

Shue Jin snickered with meaning, “I agree with that, but I won’t be merciless. Are you sure you want to do this?”

Lin Xun said firmly, “I believe that you can help me quickly achieve this step with your power and ability. Whether you’ll be merciless or not… it all depends on whether you want to bully me or not. After all, I’m only fourteen years old this year. It’s not good for your fame if you bully me. On the contrary, if you help me to train my saber wholeheartedly, you’ll get a good reputation in the future.”

Shue Jin booed, “Fourteen years old? I’ve never seen a cunning kid like you!”

Lin Xuan laughed but said nothing.

…

Later that day, Lin Xun was lying in bed, gritting his teeth and gasped in pain that night. Shue Jin went too hard on him.

At the moment, his whole body ached and pained with redness, swelling and bruises all over. Of course, Shue Jin had beaten him in moderation. The injuries caused were all insignificant, which could be recovered with one-night sleep. But these insignificant injuries were really painful.

Obviously, Shue Jin did this on purpose.

“I will let you feel the same bitterness when I help you make the armor with spiritual tattoos…”

Lin Xun angrily made a decision in his heart.

Nevertheless, after a day’s fighting with Shue Jin, Lin Xun had benefited a lot. He not only familiarized himself with the Flowing Light, but also honed it with Six-word Saberplay.

Shue Jin was undoubtedly a skilled master. Under his guidance, Lin Xun’s perception of the Six-word Saberplay had become more profound, only a short distance away from the realm of Martial Tao.

Most importantly, through practice, Shue Jin became keenly aware that Lin Xun had only a few fighting methods. He suggested Lin Xun to practice some more boxing or palm-striking methods to defend himself besides practicing his cultivation diligently.

According to Shue Jin, spiritual weapons were external strengths. It could be used, but shouldn’t be relied on. The most fundamental element for a practitioner was to tap into the potential of his body.

Lin Xun took it for granted that the Marching Boxing he mastered before was the basic boxing. Its power had reached its limits, and it was somewhat weak with his present strength for Lin’s current cultivation.

Therefore, Shue Jin’s suggestion accorded with Lin’s own idea. He promised himself to develop a suitable boxing method whenever there was an opportunity.

Of course, it would be better if he could get some secret methods that were not available on the market. Unfortunately, there was little hope for this.

Those secret methods were all handed down to the aristocratic forces. It was almost impossible for them to spread around.

Lin Xun also tried to learn some boxing from Shue Jin, but he was flatly refused, “My boxing method is not suitable for you”.

So Lin Xun had to wait for a chance if he wanted to learn a new method of boxing.

…

The next morning, Lin Xun got up and went out.

He had already made an agreement with Granny Wind to meet Shie Yutang in the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists

However, when Lin Xun arrived in front of the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists, he was surprised to find that many people had already gathered here. Most of them were practitioners. Some girls were more excited and looked at the gate of Commune of Spiritual Tattooists frequently.

“That’s Young Sword King, Shie Yutang! He is indeed a powerful figure of the younger generation in the present empire. He was so elegant that people would feel ashamed of themselves seeing him.”

“Ah, Young Sword King is so handsome that I want to have a baby with him!”

“Hum, take back your silly idea! I heard that there are many women pursuing Young Sword King in the Imperial Forbidden City. They can even form a long line reaching both ends of a street. There are also many pursuers from the aristocratic families. Don’t place your hopes on such a fanciful dream.”

Hearing the voices of the argument and looking at the excited and love-struck girls in puberty, Lin Xun finally realized how famous Shie Yutang was in the empire.

Lin Xun looked up and saw Shie Yutang standing alone in front of the Commune of Spiritual Tattooists. He wore a green robe with a bun on his head and carried a blue spiritual sword. He exuded a unique outstanding aura just by standing there at will.

It was no wonder that this guy would cause a sensation in this area since he had come here so early in an imposing manner.

Lin Xun thought in his heart that Shie Yutang was not such a flaunting person, but at this time, it seemed as if he wanted everybody to recognize him. It was weird.

Lin Xun couldn’t figure out the reason so he shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

Almost at the same moment, a sharp perception swept over Lin Xun, locking on him instantly. Lin Xun narrowed his eyes, looked up and found Shie Yutang looking at him from far away.

Seeing this, Lin Xun did not hesitate any more. He squeezed through the crowd and walked toward him.

Seeing Lin Xun coming over, Shie Yutang did not utter a single word but just threw Lin Xun a storage bag. “This is the spiritual materials and rewards that Granny Wind entrusted me.”

Lin Xun took over the storage bag and stored it.

Only at this time, the crowd discovered the reason why Shie Yutang had appeared here. It was obvious that he was waiting for Lin Xun.

Many people couldn’t help looking at Lin Xun, wondering what kind of a person Lin Xun really was and how could he make Shie Yutang wait here?
