Chapter 262: Accidental Disclosure of His Identity

Translator: Flying Lines

Edited by Lord Immortal

When Lin’s consciousness enveloped the shadow of death like the dark clouds covering the earth before a storm. Lin Xun felt as if he had returned to the Secret Realm of Hundred Battles at that moment.

His opponent was the strongman of Viper Clan, with snake-head and human body. It held a blood-colored saber with four arms and chopped at Lin Xun.

It was Reaching For the Stars!

Such a familiar scene arose the same feelings when Lin was killed by RFS, which were the astonishment, unwillingness, desperateness, and helplessness...

This was the shadow of death, a residual heart devil in his state of mind!

Kill!

The snake-head strongman drew near. Lin Xun used the same RFS with the saber in his hand, and the killing intent raged in his eyes like electricity.

Boom!

They collided, bursting out a rain of light.

Lin Xun disappeared, but he didn’t die. All the scenes presented were transformed by the shadow of death. When his figure was crushed, a strand of his consciousness faded away from his mind.

In short, this was a battle between the shadow of death and Lin Xun’s consciousness. The illusions of the fight scenes were his opponents at this moment.

When this consciousness collapsed, Lin Xun appeared extremely calm without any emotional fluctuations. Once again, he picked a strand of his consciousness and fought with this shadow of death.

Now, he had seized the opportunity to defeat the evil spirits in his heart. Even if he failed, again and again, he could continue fighting using his unrivaled spiritual power until the shadow of death was thoroughly erased.

This fighting style was especially unique. Lin Xun sat cross-legged and wielding the Meditating Magic to visualize the routine of stars, which kept the consciousness absolutely calm and focused without any mood alterations.

In Lin Xun’s mind, he used all his fighting skills and the control of RFS to fight with the shadow of death. It seemed nihilistic. In fact, these battles were not any less dangerous than real fighting and they were even harder.

After all, there were too many shadows of death. Before, Lin Xun had just seized an opportunity to take one of them out alone and crack it. If other shadows rose and worked together, the consequences were doomed to be fatal.

But Lin Xun had no way out. He had to fight desperately to find a slim chance of survival from the abyss of hopelessness.

Kill!

Familiar scenes were reflected again. The snake spirit was coming in the same way as before.

Lin Xun also fought with RFS.

In the next tries, Lin Xun continued to fail, and his consciousness continued to break down. It seemed that there was no chance of success at all.

But his comprehension of RFS increased after every battle, so his fighting also enhanced over time.

Fighting was the most effective way to practice martial arts. This was also applicable to Lin Xun in this scenario.

Just as he had speculated, the power his opponent exerted under the higher control of RFS caused him a fatal blow every time.

But simultaneously, it also let Lin Xun comprehensively experience the power of RFS!

...

Failure.

Failure.

Failure.

His failures couldn’t be counted anymore, but Lin Xun grasped more and more profound mysteries of RFS. Soon, he was inspired, a result of his perseverance and courage.

Time kept still at this moment while innumerable understandings fused together like the tide; it made Lin Xun slash out subconsciously.

This slash was so quick that the saber was even untraceable.

Boom!

On the other hand, the strongman was crushed by this cut before he could even make a move.

Success!

This also meant that Lin Xun had surpassed the strongman of Viper Clan in the control and insight of RFS!

But Lin Xun wasn’t happy. He was calm as usual and shrouded the second shadow of death almost without any hesitation.

...

The courtyard was quiet, and the night was dark.

Dim and dreamy silver starlight covered the courtyard, making it appear holy and pure.

On the ground, flowers and plants swayed gently and appeared vigorous under the wisps of the ethereal and desolate sound of flute.

Suddenly Shue Jin and Granny Wind narrowed their eyes. They keenly observed that Lin Xun, sitting on his knees, had obviously reduced his violent and fierce killing aura by thirty percent.

This made both of them feel refreshed. Obviously, Liu Qingyan’s method was feasible.

But when they looked at Liu Qingyan, their hearts tightened.

At this time, although Liu Qingyan still appeared calm, there was a hidden paleness on her beautiful face, and profound exhaustion could be discerned between her eyebrows.

This situation was worrying. Obviously, the ancient music she was playing came with significant cost and burden to herself.

But it was evidently impossible for Liu Qingyan to stop at this moment. Shue Jin and Granny Wind only hoped that Lin Xun could get rid of the evil spirits as soon as possible.

...

The battles that took place in his consciousness were totally different from that in reality. The fight between the consciousness and the shadow of death seemed to be long-drawn, but in fact, it was completed in the twinkling of an eye.

“The vicissitudes of life happen in one thought!”

With the experience of killing the first shadow of death, coupled with high control of the RFS, Lin Xun lost fewer times in the next battle, and the winning rate increased as time went on.

Every strong role in the Secret Realm that formed the shadow of death originated from different mysterious races. They used the same RFS, but their style and momentum were always unique.

There were no identical leaves in the world. In the same way, RFS performed by each individual would be distinct from the other due to their different understanding, and the power they exerted wouldn’t be the same.

Therefore, the battles with these strong spirits were just like facing various but different styles of RFS firsthand, so Lin Xun could learn from other’s strengths, remove his weaknesses and improve his mastery of RFSsteadily.

Kill!

The tempo of Lin Xun’s battles became faster and faster, and his mastery of RFS became more skillful. He was now able to display the essence precisely.

What was more, after fighting with different styles of RFS, Lin Xun’s RFS had the momentum that integrated the vast strengths of all these styles.

Kill!

In Lin’s mind, the shadows of death were constantly erased, and the feelings of fear and unwillingness caused by death were no longer there.

Kill!

Later, Lin Xun had finally determined that this life-and-death crisis wouldn’t be a threat to him anymore!

...

“His killing intent is reducing rapidly; obviously, the speed of killing evil spirits is faster than before!”

In the courtyard, Shue Jin and Granny Wind’s eyes became brighter, and their original worries became lesser.

To fight with the deep-rooted heart devils was one of the most dangerous things in the world. Even these two powerful practitioners couldn’t help but feel awe when they witnessed this scene personally.

They were sure that Lin Xun would undergo an astonishing transformation in this session of cultivation. His path ahead was bound to be broader, and his future would be infinite!

Suddenly, Liu Qingyan, sitting beside the stone chair, frowned and coughed up a mouthful of blood. The beautiful and pretty face turned pale; the pair of her starry eyes darkened, and the desolate sound of the flute stopped abruptly.

Granny Wind cried and flashed over. She embraced Liu Qingyan’s shaky and delicate body and asked worriedly, “Miss, are you all right?”

Shue Jin’s heart was shocked too. He couldn’t pay attention to Lin Xun anymore. Liu Qingyan had probably damaged herself because she couldn’t bear the consumption anymore.

This was a grave matter in her path of cultivation that might even leave irreparable damages.

“I’m all right.”

Liu Qingyan took a deep breath, wiped off the bloodstains on her lips, looked at Lin Xun in the distance, and said with worry, “Hasn’t Lin Xun awakened yet?”

Granny Wind was furious and said, “Miss, you’re badly hurt. It’s not a suitable time to take care of that boy. You’re really... really...” She was so angry that she couldn’t even say the sentence smoothly.

Liu Qingyan quickly apologized and said, “Granny, I’m sorry to make you worry. I’m really okay, but within a short time, I’m afraid I can’t use my spirit.”

Granny Wind didn’t believe Liu Qingyan’s words. She carefully checked Liu Qingyan with her strength. Although her face was gloomy, she was obviously relieved. The injury was not critical, but it was extremely troublesome to recover from.

“Well, if you had any problems today, Lin Xun would have had to pay for you!”

Granny Wind made an angry hum.

As soon as Shue Jin heard her, he knew that Liu Qingyan’s problem was not an irreparable wound and could be solved—albeit with difficulty. It made him sigh in relief, and he said, “Yes! Lin Xun is really abhorrent. How can he hurt others for his own business? When he wakes up, I’ll be the first to beat him!”

Suddenly, Shue Jin turned his head and sneered, “Boy, you’ve already woken up. Do you still want to keep pretending?”

“Sorry...”

Lin Xun, who had been sitting cross-legged all this while, opened his eyes and looked embarrassed. He really woke up.

Immediately, he got up and went forward to Liu Qingyan under Granny Wind’s fierce eyes, “Thank you for your help this time. I swear that I will return this life-saving favor in the future!”

His voice was earnest and sincere. From the conversation he had heard just now, he finally knew why he could smoothly erase the shadows of death; it was because of Liu Qingyan’s help. He was really grateful for her.

“You’re too polite. I’m happy as long as you can wake up. I felt very uneasy because my guests caused the fight between you and Huang Jianchen. I helped you this time just to comfort myself.”

Liu Qingyan said softly.

Hearing this, Lin Xun couldn’t help but stare at Liu Qingyan. He never thought that the world-famous girl in front of him would remember such trifles.

“Childe Lin, what’s wrong?”

Liu Qingyan became somewhat shy under his constant gaze, and her pale face turned hot. It was her first time to be stared at so closely by someone.

“Nothing. I’m just thinking about how to repay you.”

Lin Xun turned away his eyes, took a deep breath, and said seriously. He had never been as solemn as he was being now.

“Do you really want to repay me? That’s simple then: Have the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina restored!”

Granny Wind opened her mouth coldly.

However, Lin Xun accepted it without hesitation, “This is not a problem for me. In three days, I promise to repair it and make it as good as before.”

After that, he suddenly realized that it was not suitable for him to say that. When he looked at Granny Wind and Liu Qingyan, both of them stared at him in amazement.

Shue Jin also had a weird look on his face.

“Sorry—” Lin Xun quickly explained, “—Don’t misunderstand me. My master will do it, not me. But I can guarant”ee that he will repair the Ancient-rhythm Ocarina in three days. That’s for sure.”

The more he explained, the more it seemed to be a lie, which made Granny Wind and Liu Qingyan’s eyes subtler.
