Zhou Feng

Berikut adalah terjemahan ke dalam bahasa Inggris:

After Qi Yuan broke through to the Qi Foundation realm and Xun Yi also learned the martial arts he had obtained by chance inside the Tian Long temple, Qi Yuan still wondered about the room that had given him such fortune.

Now, Qi Yuan and Xun Yi had grown up, and the days passed as usual, filled with training and cultivation together. Two years had gone by, spent solely on training, cultivating, and perfecting their martial arts.

At this moment, the scorching sun shone upon Ling Zhou village. Near the river in Xinjian Province, there was a wooden house inhabited by three people—Mu Cheng, Qi Yuan, and Xun Yi. They were discussing the rules for joining sects in the Xian Jin continent. Since Qi Yuan had turned 13, he was now eligible to join a sect. Xun Yi mentioned the Five Elements Competition, which was held in the Huo Zhou continent.

Mu Cheng was also aware of this competition, and they began discussing Qi Yuan's entry into a sect.

"Hey, kid, are you interested in joining my sect? If you are, you can come with me," Xun Yi offered, inviting the now 13-year-old Qi Yuan to join a sect. After all, sects provided the proper facilities for disciples to cultivate and grow stronger.

Qi Yuan nodded in response to Mu Cheng and Xun Yi. However, the qualifications to enter Xun Yi's sect were extremely difficult. That sect only accepted the strongest geniuses in the Xian Jin continent. Xun Yi had been selected years ago before the tragic incident three years ago, which severely damaged his cultivation meridians, causing his strength to drop drastically.

Now, Xun Yi's cultivation had returned to its original state and had even advanced by one level.

"Thank you for taking care of me, Grandpa Mu. I have regained my strength, just as before. I have now reached the ninth level of the Qi Foundation realm. Once again, thank you, Grandpa," Xun Yi expressed his gratitude sincerely to Mu Cheng, who had cared for him when he was battered and broken years ago.

Hearing Xun Yi's words, Mu Cheng was moved and shed a few tears. Qi Yuan, standing beside his grandfather, quickly changed the topic and continued discussing which sect he should join in the Xian Jin continent.

Qi Yuan then said that he wanted to join the same sect as his adopted sister, but he was unsure if he could.

"I want to join your sect, Sister Xun, but will they accept me? Your sect only takes talented geniuses, right?" Qi Yuan asked, his face filled with doubt.

Mu Cheng and Xun Yi burst into laughter upon hearing Qi Yuan's words.

"Hahaha! I thought you were going to ask something serious. You're always so pessimistic!" Xun Yi chuckled, playfully knocking Qi Yuan on the head.

Mu Cheng joined in, adding, "You really don't know your own talent, you little rascal! Hahaha! Enough of that! You're already on par with the young geniuses in the capital who are your age. Maybe you're even one of them! Stop underestimating yourself, you brat! Hahaha! As your grandfather, I believe in your strength!"

Mu Cheng then urged them to prepare for their journey to register at the Purple Lotus Sect.

"Hurry up and get ready. The sect registration starts in a few days. Xun'er, take this and don't forget to buy some nice clothes for your younger brother. Also, make sure you eat properly, haha," Mu Cheng said, handing them a pouch filled with money.

The two quickly prepared their belongings.

"It's all set! We just need to say goodbye to Grandpa. Let's go, hehe!" Xun Yi said, and Qi Yuan nodded.

Qi Yuan and Xun Yi bid farewell to Mu Cheng. Along the journey, Xun Yi couldn't help but cry, saddened by their separation from Mu Cheng, who had cared for them for years.

"Come on, Sister Xun, don't be too sad about this. We'll come back here eventually. Let's train Thunder Dragon Steps while we travel to your sect," Qi Yuan suggested, trying to cheer up his sister and shift her focus to martial arts training.

Swoosh

Zzzttt

Swoosh

Xun Yi grew more skilled in using Thunder Dragon Steps, a technique Qi Yuan had taught her. She now led the way toward the Purple Lotus Sect, near Feng's capital.

Thunder Dragon Steps had eight stages, and Qi Yuan possessed all of them. Xun Yi had now mastered the second stage, making her movements incredibly fast. Previously, Qi Yuan had offered to teach her more stages of Thunder Dragon Steps, but she refused, not wanting to rely too much on her younger brother for martial arts techniques.

Now, Qi Yuan had reached the fifth stage, nearing the completion of Thunder Dragon Steps. This technique was unique—after mastering the fourth stage, he could manipulate lightning and channel it throughout his body.

"Wow, this technique is really efficient for traveling. It only took us about an hour to reach Nanjiang City. Alright, time to shop for your clothes, you idiot brother, hehe," Xun Yi teased, leading Qi Yuan into Nanjiang City's gates.

However, something from Qi Yuan's past happened again. As they approached the gate, two guards stopped them.

"Stop right there! What business do you have in Nanjiang City?" the guards demanded.

"You two…!" Qi Yuan shouted, his anger flaring. He recognized these guards—the same ones who had denied him entry years ago.

The guards finally recognized the boy standing before them.

"You again, you poor brat! Didn't you hear us last time?!" they sneered.

Xun Yi turned to Qi Yuan, asking what had happened years ago. When she heard the truth, she was furious. Qi Yuan, at just ten years old, had merely wanted to enter the city's library to read books but had been denied entry.

"You shameless guards! How dare you treat people like this? I won't forgive you!" Xun Yi declared, drawing her sword and preparing to strike them down.

Slash!

Ting!

Suddenly, someone blocked Xun Yi's attack with their sword. The figure was a man, appearing just like the one who had challenged Qi Yuan years ago. With red hair and a noble-like appearance, he now stood before them, his sword locking against Xun Yi's.

With an arrogant smirk, the red-haired man introduced himself.

"My name is Zhou Feng, son of General Zhou Ling. What are you trying to do—wait… You! You're that brat I chased away back then! Hahaha! Perfect timing! I was just in a bad mood," Zhou Feng sneered, his expression full of disdain.

Zhou Feng pointed his sword at Qi Yuan, issuing a challenge.

"Sorry, but I don't like fighting beautiful women. You, boy, fight me instead. Hmm… Qi Foundation, level eight? Interesting! Young lady, you should come with me after I defeat him, haha," Zhou Feng taunted, dismissing Qi Yuan while openly admiring Xun Yi.

Qi Yuan firmly rejected Zhou Feng's challenge, explaining their purpose in entering the city. However, Zhou Feng ignored his words and continued provoking him.

Seeing her younger brother being belittled, Xun Yi refused to stay silent. She launched a lightning-fast slash at Zhou Feng.

Slash!

Ting!

Zhou Feng skillfully deflected the attack, and his counter parry sent Xun Yi flying backward with a strong force.

"You! In that case, I'll kill you first, beautiful lady, hehe," Zhou Feng sneered, charging toward Xun Yi with his sword.

Swoosh!

Ting!

A cold, murderous glint appeared in Qi Yuan's eyes. His expression remained calm, but the killing intent he exuded was terrifying.

"Oh? You dare threaten my sister? Are you ready to lose your life?" Qi Yuan's voice was low and casual, yet it carried a chilling murderous aura.

For a moment, Zhou Feng felt genuine fear. He instinctively stepped back, taking deep breaths to calm himself.
