Strange existence
"You say you want to participate in the selection of chivalrous individuals, but I think it's better for you to show your true self first, evil spirit!"
The leader of the strong chivalrous individuals carefully scrutinized this Ran Xing kid, and his tone did not seem welcoming.
"What are you talking about? I am not an evil spirit. I don't know why I have the power of an evil spirit. You are being too much!"
Ran Xing not give an inch, using a horizontal bar to withstand the strong hero's punch.
"After being a hero for so many years, I can easily recognize your scent. Stop trying to argue, evil spirit, and reveal your true form!"
Ran Xing was pushed aside by this burly man.
"Kid, I might as well tell you, I am one of the guards of the Trial grounds - Meng Jiang. I smell the scent of evil spirit on you, I'm a hundred percent sure. If you don't want to die here, show yourself quickly!"
After finishing the conversation, Meng Jiang stopped hesitating and immediately called over a student, using the Five Elements: Exorcism.
This technique awakens the memories of those possessed by evil spirits through the Five Elements Vitality, blocking the evil spirit from consuming normal memories within the host, thus forcing the evil spirit to reveal itself and allowing the use of Vitality to eliminate it.
The student was also quick to act, launching his attack rapidly. He revealed the Qilin Mark, and a blue Five Elements formation appeared beneath his feet. Ran Xing couldn't dodge in time and was directly struck by the intense light, collapsing to the ground.
However, Ran Xing quickly stood up, leaving everyone shocked as they watched this strange person who showed no reaction at all to the impact of the Five Elements: Exorcism.
"How is this possible?"
Meng Jiang and the others were taken aback. This technique, specifically used to expel evil spirits, had no effect on this peculiar individual who coexisted with the evil power and the Qilin Mark.
"Really, there's nothing I can do! I'll handle it!"
The clear voice of the girl pushed away the person who had just approached, and immediately used the same move again.
Obviously, it was still ineffective.
"It seems that this evil spirit is very stubborn! It won't come out at all."
Meng Jiang said with interest, ready to personally try this young man.
"Stop it, this move has been used twice already, it's still useless. What if we end up killing someone who genuinely wants to join us here!"
Shao Meng blocked in front of the already stunned Ran Xing, and was unsurprisingly pushed aside by Meng Jiang.
"Kid, the knight and the evil spirit are incompatible. If we don't exorcise the possessing evil spirit, can you guarantee that he won't relapse after going up the mountain?"
Shao Meng was speechless, sitting in place and watching as the burly swordsman personally used the Five Elements: exorcism.
The result was still ineffective. Instead, Ran Xing slowly stood up, and those around him felt the vitality in the air, not noticing anything unusual about him.
"Teacher, it seems this person is not simple. Let's take him to Commander Qian Wen for disposal."
Another person with a dark, thin face, short hair, and thick eyebrows stopped Meng Jiang who was about to continue attacking, and looked at Shao Meng who had just stood up next to him.
"Alright, I guess it can only be this way. Get ready."
Meng Jiang After a brief moment of contemplation, she activated her vitality and transformed into a pair of stone bracelets, restraining the two individuals, Shao Meng, and took them to a house up the mountain, locking them inside.
"The three of you, watch over them. Without me, no one is to open the door."
Meng Jiang left instructions and turned to take another path.
The Unyielding Flower
In a mysterious valley, a man dressed in a black robe and wearing a tattered hat sat in a cave, seemingly busy with something in his hand, the Qilin Mark.
Memories flashed before his eyes at lightning speed. It was many years ago, on the night when his teacher Fire had an encounter with a suddenly appearing girl. He watched as his teacher performed some kind of technique on her and then took a stance as if ready to fight him to the death.
That night, a fierce battle erupted between teacher and student, marking the end of their relationship. Before that moment, no one knew what had transpired except for this mysterious man.
And it seemed that someone was observing everything from nearby.
"Well... it’s no surprise that there are so few people with taste in this place. To think someone could make a flower bloom here, where rain has never fallen, for ten years without fail—it truly is remarkable."
A voice that was neither male nor female came from in front of the two attendants, behind this mysterious person. The owner of the voice had a rather feminine and gentle face, with distinct features, captivating eyes, and held an unpredictable power.
"Visiting someone's residence without saying hello? old friend!"
old friend Haha, you're still so particular after working together for so long.
"Alright, you've come a long way. I don't have much here, so just make do with this cup of tea."
old friend He reached out and a cup of freshly brewed tea flew over in the direction of the person in front of him.
" Shang Qing, you're still the same."
The two exchanged a few pleasantries.
It turns out that "Ghost tricks" is injecting vitality into this girl, seemingly maintaining something.
"You've been maintaining it alone for so long, and she's still like this. I think it's faster to have my men just take the thing out directly."
When they said this, two attendants immediately cast a spell, preparing to forcibly remove the thing.
"I advise you not to act recklessly, Gui Mei "
Two followers were firmly controlled in place by the outstretched right hand of Shang Qing.
As Shang Qing continued to explain, Gui Mei finally instructed the two henchmen not to move.
"The things inside her body can only be sustained because of my presence. If you were to eliminate me, the things inside her would also disappear. Only the vitality of a hero can sustain these things eternally. Gui Mei, it's best not to be hasty,"
Gui Mei nodded, "Alright, alright, after all these years, I trust your work. But from now on, it's best to be quicker."
Saying that, he had his men bring in a new plan.
Meanwhile, Shang Qing seemed uninterested, "After years of cooperation, we have our understanding."
"Okay, I hope we can cooperate happily."
Gui Mei cast a meaningful glance, looked at the indifferent eyes in front of him, not bad, Shang Qing still looked the same.
As he spoke, Gui Mei and his group disappeared into the cave. Shang Qing stood up, looked outside the cave, into the vast sky, the cawing of crows echoed through the heavens, and a few drops of blood fell onto Shang Qing' outstretched left hand.
Accompanied by the fall of two Swordsman card s, symbolizing two unknown knights had turned into the white bones in this valley.
Ask him what he thinks.
In the Trial grounds, within the maze-like pavilions and towers, Meng Jiang had already reported the news and was waiting for the response of the old man in front of her.
This old man in front of her is Commander Qian Wen of the Trial grounds. He was dressed in a horse jacket, wearing brand new cloth shoes. Although he was nearly seventy years old, he was still agile, living a disciplined life with moderate diet. His eyes, filled with both firmness and kindness, peeked through his white hair. Although slightly hunched, his spirit remained vibrant.
"How can you be sure this young man is an evil spirit?"
Qian Wen took over as the Commander of the Trial Grounds, and since then, I have never seen a case where the power of evil spirit coexists with the vitality of the five elements. I couldn't help but become interested in the young man mentioned by Meng Jiang.
"The scent on this person's body, even if he were burned to ashes, I could still smell it. He's definitely an evil spirit."
Meng Jiang was resolute, but then saw Qian Wen take out a mirror and reflect Meng Jiang behind her. Upon closer inspection, nothing seemed amiss.
"Answer my question first, is this the real you?"
Qian Wen reached out his hand, and someone brought over tea. He placed a cup next to Meng Jiang, and then picked up his own cup, leisurely taking a sip.
"Commander, of course it's me. I've been like this for so many years."
Qian Wen shook his head, Meng Jiang looked at the mirror again, not knowing how to respond.
"As the saying goes, what you see may not be true. You see yourself in the mirror, but that may not be the real you, just a momentary appearance. Your thoughts only represent what you think in that moment. So Meng Jiang, go back and take me to see that child. I want to ask him personally."
Meng Jiang was taken aback, " Commander, I can take care of this for you. Why should I trouble you to go in person?"
Commander was confident, "Don't worry. A young and inexperienced kid won't be able to do anything to me. Meng Jiang, since it's a mirror, there must be a front and a back. If we only see the front, that would be a mistake that a knight shouldn't make."
Meng Jiang watched as Commander made up his mind and could only follow behind him, setting fire to the pavilion.
"Ran Xing, I have a few questions for you."
The deep and powerful voice startled the sleeping Ran Xing, "Who!"
The locked door opened, and from back to front were the three students from the back of Meng Jiang, Meng Jiang himself, and a mysterious old man.
"It seems that you are Ran Xing."
When the old man spoke, the restraints left on Ran Xing by Meng Jiang's magic disappeared.
Meng Jiang reached out to stop it, but was halted by a glance from Qian Wen.
Qian Wen stepped forward with steady strides, looking at the figure before him with blue short hair and eyes as clear as Meng Jiang's were years ago. Although Qian Wen could sense the power of the evil spirit, it was the pureness akin to a blank sheet of paper that he hadn't encountered in decades.
"Child, it seems you have already made up your mind to stay here, haven't you?"
Qian Wen seemed to have read Ran Xing's mind and walked up to him.
"Kid, this is Commander Qian Wen of the Trial Grounds. You better answer truthfully, or I will make you pay for it."
Meng Jiang Pointing at the person in front of him, the Commander who did not salute, his other hand was already clenched.
And his three students were the same.
"Child, who I am today is not important, but here, both you and I have only one name, and that is a knight, of course, also a friend. Between friends, we should treat each other with sincerity. This is the rule of a knight. You just need to answer my question."
Ran Xing finally put her worries to rest, lowering her head as she recalled that night from years ago.
"I... didn't know what the power of the evil spirit was. I only remember that on that night, my sister went missing. It was also my sister who told me that only those with the Qilin Mark in their palms could enter the Trial Grounds. The mysterious beings there have guarded the world for many years, and they must have a way to help me find my sister. So, I teamed up with Shao Meng and found the entrance to the Trial Grounds. I want to be a hero and bring my sister back."
Everyone listened to Ran Xing's description without interruption. Qian Wen nodded in satisfaction and looked at Ran Xing's expression and eyes, which remained clear and determined.
Qian Wen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Very well, child. Remember what you have said. This is the oath you have made in front of all of us, as well as to yourself. For the sake of this oath, you may stay here and become friends with everyone. However, if one day you break your oath, the price will be to return to being a mortal and never set foot here again. Think carefully about your next answer. I will be waiting for you in the subsequent trials."
Qian Wen finished speaking and then transformed into vitality and disappeared in front of everyone.
Meng Jiang also cast a spell to remove the shackles on the door.
"You are free now. Remember what you said, that is the mission you are fighting for. Now, prepare well for your trial, it will determine whether you stay here."
Shao Meng was greatly surprised as he looked at the boy in front of him, who suddenly remembered the past and knelt down. He reached out his hand and said, "Get up, now is not the time for you to blame yourself. Let's each go prepare."
The next day at Trials Square, the place was bustling with people, a lively scene filled with various individuals bearing the Qilin Mark, all gathered to prepare for the selection of the Trial Grounds.
Those who pass the selection will be assigned to specialized teachers at the Trial Grounds for training.
On the walls of the square, the outstanding mentors from the history of the Trial Grounds are engraved.
Behind where Ran Xing stood, there was a depiction of Shang Qing... However, after a description of Shang Qing's battles, it directly transitioned to the current mentors.
But this did not catch Ran Xing's attention. Instead, a young child, just beginning to experience feelings of affection, had his gaze fixed on the girls in the area, searching for his ideal girl while moving quickly.
Seemingly too focused on finding someone, Ran Xing stopped in his tracks as he was momentarily stunned by a girl in front of him.
The girl was dressed in a Break Out of Cocoon and Become a Butterfly outfit, her slender figure accentuated by the fitted custom clothing that made it hard to look away. She had shoulder-length short hair framing her face, and beneath her bangs were a pair of tightly closed eyes and a small mouth resembling a cherry.
She held a booklet in her hand, but her pen never stopped moving.
"What an adorable girl!"
Ran Xing His eyes sparkled as if he had found the only person in the crowd, circling around the girl and quickly memorizing her appearance and figure.
"Hello!"
A sweet voice stimulated Ran Xing's nerves.
The girl actually... opened her eyes.
They were as clear as water, and set against her face, they etched loveliness into Ran Xing's mind.
"Hello... I'm Ran Xing. And you are...?"
The girl seemed to realize something and tore out a page from the sketchbook.
"Luo Yue"
In the midst of the conversation, she handed the torn page to the unfamiliar boy.
"I'm giving you this drawing. It's the result of my practice in divination, and it can be considered a gift for us to work hard together in the future."
Luo Yue didn't care that Ran Xing was already lost in thought. She just grabbed his arm and placed the painting in his hand.
At this moment, there was a mix of emotions, a sense of joy, and a feeling of confusion. For someone still young, they didn't yet understand what it all meant.
