Chapter 241: A Sudden Challenge



Xue Jin, Granny Feng, and Chu Feng were individuals with rich experiences and could instantly identify that an aeth treasure had been born!

Ommomm~~

Colorful clouds suddenly appeared in the sky and emitted rays of light that coalesced into the shape of a blade.

The trio’s gazes were inevitably drawn towards the sight, their faces filled with astonishment.

However, the phenomenon disappeared a split second later as if all of it had never happened.

Xue Jin, Granny Fang, and Chu Feng found themselves a little shaken.

“It’s said that when aeth tools reach a certain level of perfection they would obtain the heavens’ blessings and be bestowed a spark of spirituality. They are called aeth treasures. Although I’ve seen many of these aeth treasures over the years, I never imagined that I would personally witness the birth of one today!”

Xue Jin’s rugged face was filled with emotion. Although he seemed relaxed, huge waves were rising in his heart.

If his guess was correct, the aeth treasure born today was Lin Xun’s work. Who could imagine that he was merely a fourteen-year-old rune master?

Who could imagine that the aeth treasure had only taken three days to make?

If the old fogeys from the empire’s Divine Workshop found out about this, they would probably die of embarrassment.

“Is this Great Master Xun’s ability? He is indeed superbly skilled beyond my imagination. Just the fact that he could craft an aeth treasure is already more than enough to convince this old bag of bones of his skill.”

Granny Feng had a complicated expression filled with shock and emotion. She had never heard of Great Master Xun’s name before and had subconsciously regarded him lightly.

Although Lin Xun’s declaration that Great Master Xun could repair the ancient law ocarina had made Granny Feng feel a sliver of interest, she was still very skeptical and doubtful if Great Master Xun would live up to Lin Xun’s claims.

However, after personally witnessing the birth of an aeth treasure, Granny Feng was now fully convinced of Great Master Xun’s skill.

“Crafting an aeth treasure means Great Master Xun possesses the ability to craft rune armaments. If there’s a chance, I will personally pay a visit to this mysterious master.”

Granny Feng sighed.

Xue Jin’s heart shuddered as he also recalled a certain rumor in the empire: once a rune master could craft an aeth treasure, he would gain the qualifications to craft rune armaments!

If that was true, wouldn’t it mean that Lin Xun’s skills were also sufficient now?

Neither Xue Jin nor Granny Feng noticed Chu Feng’s slack-jawed and dumbstruck appearance.

He knew better than anyone that Great Master Xun was merely a cover and Lin Xun was his true identity!

However, Chu Feng had never imagined that Lin Xun was already capable of making an aeth treasure!

It was far too shocking to hear that a young teenage rune master was capable of such a feat. How many people could even achieve this in the history of the empire?

While various emotions were churning in the hearts of the three individuals, the main doors of the residence were pushed open and Lin Xun walked out.

At the sight of him, Xue Jin and Chu Feng immediately returned to their senses. However, their expressions had become a little strange as if they were getting to know Lin Xun again for the first time.

When Granny Feng saw Lin Xun, she seemed to lose all her previous interest in punishing him. However, she found it strange that his complexion was pale and his steps were unsteady. He looked extremely weak and this was clearly abnormal.

“It turns out that Granny Feng has graced us with her presence. Please forgive me for failing to come and receive you.”

Lin Xun cupped his hands together and smiled. His voice had become somewhat hoarse and weak.

Granny Feng frowned and snorted. “Little boy, you weren’t the one crafting just now so stop acting pitiful. Do you think this old lady doesn’t dare to personally teach you a lesson?”

Xue Jin and Chu Feng had likewise discovered Lin Xun’s condition. They were originally fretting inside but their expression immediately turned strange after hearing Granny Feng’s words.

Granny Feng said, “Never mind, I can’t be bothered to argue with you. However, there’s one thing you need to promise me.”

Lin Xun was taken aback. “May I enquire what elder is referring to?”

Granny Feng frostily answered, “It’s naturally regarding Huang Jianxiong, whose cultivation was crippled by you. Do you think this matter can be resolved so easily?”

Xue Jin frowned. “Crazy old woman, stop beating about the bush.”

Granny Feng glared at Xue Jin before she said to Lin Xun, “It’s very simple. Those noble disciples will send out someone to have a duel with you to resolve this grudge. If you win, they will have nothing else to say but if you lose, you will have to pay the price.”

“A battle to resolve their grudge?”

Xue Jin laughed. “After so many years, these noble disciples are still using the same old tricks. They’ve not improved at all.”

Chu Feng, however, worriedly asked, “Since the other party dares to make such a request, they will definitely send their most formidable expert. If that happens, how will Lin Xun possibly put up a fight?”

Granny Feng frostily said, “You think I’ll allow unfairness in this battle?”

Xue Jin seemed to realize something. “In other words, the opponent will also be at the Human Dipper stage?”

Granny Feng nodded. “Naturally. Otherwise, this brat will lose after a single move from Xie Yutang.”

As she spoke, she looked toward Lin Xun. “I’m the one who made this suggestion and it is also the simplest way to resolve your grudge. What do you think?”

Lin Xun shrugged. “Do I have a choice?”

Granny Feng shook her head. “No!”

Lin Xun helplessly said, “I knew it would be like this.”

Granny Feng seemed to become very frank at this moment. She displayed an icy smile as she looked at Lin Xun and said, “On account of your master, Great Master Xun, I won’t argue with someone from the younger generation like you. However, a devious and loathsome person like you should be taught a lesson and taste some suffering. You will learn that there is always a taller mountain and someone more talented out there.”

Lin Xun smiled and said, “Elder’s teachings are right. When will this battle be? Let me tell you now that I won’t be free for a while.”

Granny Feng acted as if she already knew Lin Xun would say this. “In four days, Xie Yutang will send the materials and payment to repair the ancient law ocarina on my behalf. At that time, he will tell you the time and venue of the duel.”

A chilling light flashed deep in Lin Xun’s eyes. “Xie Yutang has also decided to get involved in this matter?”

Granny Feng revealed a knowing smile. “They’re all from noble factions. Do you think he will just sit by and watch?”

Lin Xun immediately fell silent. After a long time, he said, “Alright, I agree. However, let Xie Yutang find me at the Rune Master Association instead. This is my master’s hidden residence and should not be disturbed by outsiders.”

Granny Feng was taken aback. She nodded and said, “Naturally.”

Following that, she turned around and left.

Xue Jin clearly relaxed upon seeing her leave. “I’m honestly surprised that crazy old lady was so easy to appease this time.”

Chu Feng grinned as he looked at Lin Xun. “The reason is quite simple. Our Great Master Xun here made an aeth treasure and intimidated that old woman which then deterred her from causing trouble.”

Xue Jin icily glanced at Chu Feng. “Careful with your words. If that old woman decides to go crazy, even the heavens will not be able to save you.”

Chu Feng’s entire body shuddered as embarrassment filled his face.

Lin Xun could not help but chuckle at this sight. “I feel that Granny Feng can still be reasoned with. I’m more afraid of encountering people who can’t be reasoned with.”

“Stop jabbering. Hurry up and show me that newly crafted blade!”

Xue Jin had clearly waited more than enough and could no longer hold back his curiosity.

“I…may I also be permitted to observe that peerless aeth treasure?”

Chu Feng hopefully looked at Lin Xun.

“Everyone can come along.”

Lin Xun turned around and walked into the residence.

……

Moments later, a two-feet-seven-inches long, four fingers wide pitch-black battle blade appeared on Lin Xun’s palm.

Xue Jin frowned. The completed aeth treasure seemed to be no different from its initial state.

When he picked it up, however, the blade suddenly began to shake as if resisting and a terrifying and ferocious aura surged out from its pitch-black body.

Ch!

Xue Jin felt pain from his fingertip and immediately circulated his cultivation. His hand tightly gripped the blade to steady it. It felt as if he was holding an object with a soul that was clearly trying to resist him.

This made Xue Jin’s eyes brighten and he praised, “An excellent treasure! To think that it has such spirituality. As expected of an aeth treasure that has been bestowed a spark of spirituality by the heavens!”

Although there was only a word of difference between aeth tools and aeth treasures, their spirituality was on completely different levels!

Chu Feng also grew excited as he watched. He also approached to personally feel the blade but before he could touch it, the blade suddenly buzzed and shot a strand of sharp aura at him, leaving a small wound on his fingertip.

If he did not avoid it in time, his finger would have been chopped off!

Chu Feng’s heart trembled. He was both shocked and embarrassed as he said, “This treasure is definitely a ferocious weapon!”

It was also the first time Lin Xun had properly experienced the blade’s spirituality and he could not help but grab at it as well.

With a shiing, the pitch-black blade turned into a flash of black and voluntarily flew into Lin Xun’s hands as if it wanted to be held by him. The sight made Xue Jin’s and Chu Feng’s eyes widen in shock.

Lin Xun felt the blade becoming an irreplaceable part of his body. It seemed to connect with his flesh and blood, pulsing together in perfect harmony.

It felt as if he could also feel all of the blade’s feelings while his will would also immediately be known to it.

It was the first time Lin Xun had felt such a sensation. Without using any cultivation, he flicked his wrist and casually swung the blade.

The air parted like cloth, producing a piercing whistle as a strand of ravenously ferocious light flashed on the surface of the blade.

What an excellent blade!

Xue Jin’s and Chu Feng’s eyes brightened and shone in envy.
