    They say children make choices while adults want it all, but in reality, adults often have no room for choice at all.


    This was the case for Lu Xun right now.


    Reality had already made a choice for him, and all he could do is to move forward with that crazy yet somewhat impractical idea in his heart!


    Fortunately, Lu Xun’s mentality was alright. Since there was no choice, there was no fear. Just do it!


    “Thirty percent is luck, seventy percent is struggle, and the remaining ny percent is to bulldoze all the way!’


    Smash it!


    When he was the “Big Stick Hero” in his previous life, he was a wanderer who always said “eat the stick”. He didn’t expect to get the chance to carry on this fine tradition again today.


    Lu Xun, dressed in a ck robe, continued to walk on Hidden Mountain. He was really curious whether ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ was indeed as the forum said?


    In his previous life, some unlucky yers had explored Hidden Mountain without any gains before they reached the summit and witnessed the grace of ‘The Sword Qi is Near’.


    As Lu Xun walked, he reached the 999th step. With one stride upwards, the mist on the mountain disappeared instantly!


    Before his eyes, there was ‘The Sword Qi is Near’!


    Lu Xun nced at it and a smile appeared on his face.


    “So it’s ced like this, so far, everything is going ording to n!’


    On the top of Hidden Mountain, there was only one sword.


    ‘The Sword Qi is Near’, was located at the summit, and it was the precious treasure of the mountain!


    Unlike the usual clichés, the more powerful a treasure, the more low-key it tends to be, bing ordinary in appearance. ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ gave people a very unique feeling. It was as if…


    – it was alive!


    The sword was about three feet long, and the material it was made of was a mystery, it was pitch ck all around.


    There were no tassels, nonyards, but the hilt of the sword was slightly longer than that of an ordinary sword.


    To look at it from the outside, ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ didn’t stand out that much, with its most striking feature being its aura!


    The sword was suspended in mid-air, with the tip pointed downward.


    Even Yan Shu t s Wind Stabilizing Wave expressed a strong desire for the little sword in Lu Xun’s body, but this ck long sword suspended in mid-air expressed a strong disdain!


    There was no trembling of the sword body, no sound of the sword’s buzzing, it just floated quietly, as if it was scrutinizing Lu Xun.


    It was only about half a meter from the ground, but it looked condescending!


    It was not until it detected something on Lu Xun that it shuddered slightly, as if struggling internally.


    Lu Xun seemed thoughtful, as he took out a small ck stone from his bosom.


    Upon closer inspection, the color of this piece of small stone was simr to that of ‘The Sword Qi is Near’, but slightly different.


    Although he didn’t know what this piece of small stone was, it must be a treasure, since it was a gift left by the eldest brother for all the disciples.


    So, Lu Xun held the small stone piece, and scrutinized ‘The Sword Qi is Near’, and what was beneath it.


    ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ was suspended in the air, and beneath it was a sword sheath.


    This sheath wasid t on the ground, also pitch ck, but it was simple and generous.


    Logically, a sword and its sheath are a set, but today the sword and its sheath are separated.


    This gave people a very strange feeling, as if the two had split.


    Yan Li was a sword cultivator. For a sword cultivator, the importance of the sword can be imagined, but he left ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ at the top of the


    Hidden Mountain before his dead-end cultivation, which was strange in itself.


    And the separation of the sword and its sheath from ‘The Sword Qi is Near’, as if they were demarcating a clear boundary, was even stranger.


    There was endless debate about this on the game forum, with every sand sculpture yer putting forward their own conjectures. A post would easily draw thousands ofments.


    “l think the reason Yan Li had to close himself off is probably because of this sword!”


    “What the person above said makes sense, but how do you exin the separation of the sword and its sheath?”


    “Why do you think so much about it? Isn’t it normal for a husband and wife to have a temporary separation after arguing and wanting to divorce?”


    “Oh boy! There’s a good point. The sword should be inserted into the sheath.


    Now it refuses to do so. There must be emotional issues.’ “Who told that Yan Li’s sword was the fastest sword in the world? LOL.”


    “If I were the sheath, I would not be able to tolerate it either!”


    When Lu Xun was reading the posts, almost convinced by the sand sculpture yers if he didn’t use his brains!


    The discussion posts on the forum are like this, starting off with reasonable brainstorming ideas, suddenly it would deviate, sometimes the conversation would spin off so hard it would p you in the face, with the conversation speeding off out of view!


    Lu Xun held the ck stone piece and walked quickly towards ‘The Sword Qi is Near’.


    The little sword inside his Sword Heart trembled continuously, its feelings were somewhatplex.


    There was strong displeasure, mixed with a tiny bit of cowardice?


    This was the first time encountering such a situation, even when he met the Second Sister’s Wooden Sword and Yan Shu t s Wind Stabilizing Wave, the little sword in his Sword Heart was very excited!


    This shows how special ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ was.


    Perhaps due to holding the small stone piece in his hand, ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ showed a moment of hesitation, but it was just a momentary thing.


    Lu Xun had ascended the mountain and all the swords chose him, he just couldn’t hold them firmly, only this ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ was unmoved by him.


    This was unexpected for Lu Xun, he was racing against the clock, he needed to take hold of ‘The Sword Qi is Near’ while it was still hesitant!


    This piece of small stone is an opportunity, it’s now or never!


    Lu Xun squatted down, dropped his left arm, raised his right arm, and his right hand was about to touch ‘The Sword Qi is Near’!


    The little sword in his Sword Heart began to vibrate at high speed, Lu Xun felt like he had been hit by a heavy hammer, he was directly thrown off!


    A mouthful of blood sprayed out and his health bar began to drop rapidly!


    This has never happened before, even if he was thrown off before, he wasn’t this exaggerated!


    The most terrifying part was that the force of this throw was veryrge, he flew very high, more than ten meters high!


    He was about to fall from a high altitude and crash directly onto the steps below!


    Given his current physique, such a violent collision would likely cause problems.


    However, despite vomiting blood, a satisfying smile was on Lu Xun’s face!


    His movements were strange when he tried to take the sword, he was squatting down. To be precise, he had made two preparations.


    His right hand reached for ‘The Sword Qi is Near’, which was almost a meter high in the air, and his left hand stretched out to touch the sheath on the ground!


    Both of them were touched almost simultaneously, and at that moment, the blessing cast on him by the mute old man shattered!


    This buff, whichsted for 3 hours, hadn’t yet run out of time, but it was shattered!


    Just as Lu Xun, who was thrown off, was about to crash to the ground, a sh of white light shed, and he was teleported out of Hidden Mountain! Because he had already acquired the magical weapon on the mountain.


    What he held in his arms was… – the sheath of ‘The Sword Qi is Near’!
