C25 Listen to a Story

The old man waved his hand and closed the door. Then, he gestured for Lin Xiu to sit down with him. He looked at the glove with a complicated expression and closed his eyes, reminiscing about a long time ago.

"A long time ago, a disciple with astonishing talent appeared in a clan which was specialized in artifact forging. He could refine an Origin Tool when he was at the Spirit Fusion Stage and he had even successfully refined a Profound Artifact when he was at the Earth Element Realm. The entire sect has high hopes for him, and believes that this disciple is very likely to succeed in refining an artifact of good fortune in the future. " The old man's face was somewhat sorrowful.

"After this disciple refined the Xuan Artifact, he felt that the refining methods that the sect could teach him no longer existed, so he found his Master, the Sect Master of the Weapon Refining Sect. Tell him that he wants to travel alone to the continent in order to increase his own knowledge and try to improve his refining ability. "

"After leaving the protection of the sect, the eyes of the young disciples were quickly blinded by the world of flowers outside. They relied on their decent strength and excellent refining techniques, successfully capturing the heart of a large number of young female cultivators. In the end, the young disciple who was cooped up in a warm and gentle place gradually forgot his purpose of leaving the sect, and settled down in a remote place. "

"The young disciples of Armament Sect, as they were revered by the people of this small sect, slowly lost their will to progress. After decades of being away from the sect, their artifact forging skills have declined instead of increased. Because he left the sect for such a long time that the young disciples nearly forgot about his sect and their ambitions back then. "

"Until one day, he was found by someone from the sect. That person was covered in blood, and just had the time to tell him that the sect had been destroyed, and that he was to live in seclusion. If he did not take revenge, then he would die."

The old man's eyes turned red as he spoke. He clenched his fists and began to emit crackling sounds.

His voice became hoarse.

"The young disciple finally woke up at that time. He left his dwelling place and began to investigate who annihilated the entire Weapon Refining Sect. In the end, he discovered that the person who destroyed the Weapon Refining Sect was a colossus that he couldn't even contend against. He could only craft Xuan Artifacts, so what if he could refine a Manifestation Art? In the face of such an existence, it would still be reduced to ashes. "

Two streams of tears flowed from the old man's eyes. With a "pa" sound, they splashed onto the ground, creating a layer of ripples.

At this moment, Lin Xiu's heart was throbbing. He began to sympathize with the young disciple in the story. Facing a strong enemy, it was not scary at all. What was scary was that you didn't even have the strength to resist.

The old man stopped talking and just sat there in a daze. After a while, he came back to his senses and threw the glove to Lin Xiu.

"Kid, it's yours now."

Lin Xiu didn't look at the boxing gloves. He just looked at the old man and said softly, "Senior, what happened next?"

As if he was gratified by Lin Xiu's words, the old man continued: "Later on, the young disciple incognito himself to a place far away from the former sect, and then began to crazily forge artifacts, in an attempt to successfully refine them and then rely on the summoning power of the refiner to exact revenge."

"Did he succeed?"

"What do you think?"

After a moment of silence, Lin Xiu opened his mouth and said, "Senior, I will accept this boxing glove. If I am lucky enough to become a powerful warrior in the future, I will do my best."

After saying that, he bowed to the old man once more, turned around, and left the weapon store.

"Kid, that pair of gloves is called Wind Shrouding Fist." The moment Lin Xiu stepped out of the shop, the elder's calm voice sounded from behind him.

Seeing Lin Xiu's back gradually disappearing, the old man lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Kid, I don't seek for you to avenge me in the future. I just hope that you won't let the wind cover your face."

Since the wind had already been sent out, the elder who had a great worry in his mind straightened his body and shot his tyrannical aura into the sky. He muttered to himself, "I should go back and take this opportunity to take a look."

"… …"

Lin Xiu wasn't as happy as he thought after getting the wind shield. He wasn't in a hurry to go back to the tavern, he was just aimlessly strolling around the streets.

The old man's strength was at least at the Heaven Element Realm. If he couldn't even protect what he wanted to protect with this kind of strength, then what could he do?

Become stronger! Only by possessing great strength could he protect the things he cared about.

Lin Xiu was thinking about his own matters and didn't notice that not far away from him, there was a man with a knife scar on his face. Under the lead of a brown bug, he was quickly approaching him.

When Lin Xiu walked into a deserted alley, the knife-scarred man suddenly jumped out, drew the dagger from his waist and hacked towards Lin Xiu's face.

Lin Xiu, who was originally in a trance, suddenly woke up after sensing the murderous aura. He instinctively used the Magnificent Step to dodge the attack.

"Who are you?" Lin Xiu roared.

"Little bastard, don't you remember who you killed? I am the one who will take your life today. " The Knifescar fellow shouted with a ferocious expression.

Hearing that, Lin Xiu came to a realization. From his birth until now, he had only killed two robbers in the forest before. That scar-face must have avenged those two without a doubt. However, he did not know how the other party found out that he did it.

The situation now was definitely not going to be good. Killing was also prohibited in Black Wind City, so it seemed that this scar-face wanted to finish the battle quickly.

After understanding the opponent's plan, Lin Xiu was not worried at all. Although his injuries had not completely healed yet, after consuming the Spirit Pill, his soul force had improved by a lot compared to before. Even if this person was Bone Quenching Stage, he still dared to fight against him.

After dodging the opponent's attack again, Lin Xiu took out the Wind Chasing Gloves that he just obtained and silently injected his elemental energy into it.

After putting on the gloves, Lin Xiu finally started his counterattack. It was the most powerful martial skill besides Traceless Wind.

Clang!

When the gauntlet and the short blade clashed, a series of whooshing sounds could be heard.

However, the gauntlet was undamaged, and a big hole appeared on the scar-faced man's short blade.

The scar-faced man saw that his short blade was damaged, but he did not panic. Instead, a trace of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Hmph. Boy, if you know what's good for you, obediently give the gloves on your hand to me. Who knows, maybe I'll spare your little life."

"That depends on if you have the ability to take it." Lin Xiu was not moved.

"I think you're courting death." The scar-faced man's face was full of malice.

He suddenly rushed forward and the short blade in his hand made a sound as it cut through the air. The knife-scarred man charged towards Lin Xiu once again.

Lin Xiu, on the other hand, was not afraid at all. He jumped up from the ground and rushed forward like a sharp sword. At the same time, he changed his palm into a fist and punched towards the scar-faced man's head.

When the short blade approached Lin Xiu, Lin Xiu easily moved away from the critical point. On the other hand, the scar-faced man wasn't so lucky. Although he tried to turn his head, Lin Xiu's fist still landed solidly on his head.

"Peng!" the scar-faced man was directly thrown to the ground with a loud sound.

He struggled to get up, but how could Lin Xiu give him the chance? Lin Xiu, who was approaching, kicked the scarred man.

His body was immediately thrown away like a kite with its string cut.

After suffering so many heavy injuries, the scar-faced man no longer had the strength to get up. He spat out blood and looked at Lin Xiu, who was approaching step by step, with a pleading look.

However, Lin Xiu did not pay any attention to it. He used his foot to lift the knife that the scarred man dropped to the ground and then kicked towards the scarred man.

"Chi!"

Lin Xiu walked out of the alley without looking back. After fighting for so long, the soldiers of Black Wind City must have been alerted and he had to leave immediately.

As Lin Xiu expected, not long after he left the alley, a group of Black Wind City's soldiers appeared beside the scarred man.

The leader of the soldiers was already used to the scene in front of him. Even though fighting in Black Wind City was prohibited, the truth was that there were still a lot of people who died every year.

After instructing the soldiers to dispose of the corpses, the group of soldiers quickly left.
