There’s Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 34: 034, [Enveloped in Sword Intent]

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A middle-aged scholar in a white robe was ambling along a path paved with blue stones. His strides were short and he wasn’t in a hurry, frequently pausing along the way.

He would stop and smell the flowers being sold on the roadside, buy some fresh new food to taste, and even watch people playing chess. However, he would often be chased away for not adhering to the rule of silence for spectators.

A brawny, tanned man followed him, not daring to disturb the gentleman’s leisurely stroll.

Mao Nanbei was right, the gentleman had come down from the mountain just to play.

The reason he refused to return was simple – he hadn’t had enough fun yet.

As for his newly accepted disciple…compared to traveling and sightseeing, this was a minor affair.

“Sir,” the brawny man reached his side and spoke softly.

“What’s the matter?” the gentleman asked.

“I don’t understand why you set such a rule for accepting disciples,” was the tanned man’s response, referring to the cliff-jumping stipulation.

“It was merely a spur-of-the-moment thought when I was on Lead Peak,” the gentleman dismissed it casually with a wave of his hand.

However, the brawny man knew that, when the gentleman took on such a demeanor, it was likely he was hiding something. Having followed the gentleman for many years, he knew him well. The tanned man felt that there must be a profound reason behind the seemingly impossible condition that the gentleman didn’t want to reveal.

Yet he couldn’t figure out how his Little Junior Brother had managed to survive the cliff jump.

This aroused his curiosity.

Mao Nanbei once told Lu Xun that their Senior Brother loved to cook, but it tasted horrible.

She didn’t entirely tell the truth. Senior Brother’s cooking was bad because he liked to innovate, always trying out new recipes.

The third senior brother at the Small Study, adored exploring new things and loved research.

He might look like a farmer and was somewhat rough around the edges, but his

mind was full of a burning desire for knowledge and an array of random new ideas.

Therefore, the brawny man suddenly became very interested in Lu Xun.

He even thought about kidnapping his Little Junior Brother for a good round of analysis when they returned to the mountain.

At this thought, a warm, honest smile spread across his face.

At this moment, on the back hill of the Demon Sect.

Lu Xun had a nightmare.

He woke up with a start, sweating profusely.

“Huff! ”

The night breeze was gently caressing him. Fireflies were flying around outside his window, creating a harmonious and peaceful scene.

“Is it because I am under too much pressure recently?” Lu Xun rubbed his temples, contemplating.

But when he thought about it… he hadn’t been under any pressure recently!

He was eating well, sleeping well, everyone he met addressed him as an ancestor, life was great. Other than the slow rate of Experience Point gain, everything was pretty smooth, except for the trouble caused by Mao Nanbei’s incessant chatter.

After adjusting his mood and calming his heart, Lu Xun attempted to fall back asleep.

However, the nightmare resumed.

“How the hell can a dream have a sequel?!” Lu Xun woke up once again, panting heavily.

More accurately, it was like a merciless cycle of nightmares.

The moment he closed his eyes, a vague shadow would chase him until he was killed, and that’s when he would wake up.

The shadowy figure was blurry, Lu Xun couldn’t make it out.

He didn’t pay it much mind, though, after all, it’s just a dream. It’s normal to forget the details of a dream once a person wakes up.

He couldn’t even remember how he died. He only remembered being chased and then — that was it.

Many people might have had this experience, being fully aware that they are dreaming, but only remembering the beginning and ending of the dream.

After taking a few deep breaths, Lu Xun furrowed his brows as something felt off.

“This is my dream, for God’s sake. I should be in control!”

“No, I must fight back!”

Being killed twice in a row strangely stirred up Lu Xun’s competitive spirit!

He closed his eyes again, and sure enough, the shadow reappeared.

He had thought that in his own dream, he could be God. He could do anything, but he ended up being brutally killed again.

“Damn it!”

Lu Xun sat up on his bed. He wasn’t a fool. He knew there was something fishy about all of this!

He checked his Character Attributes, and his state was showing:

—C Enveloped in Sword Intent]!

“Sword Intent?!” Lu Xun was taken aback.

“Was it Sword Intent that killed me in my dream?”

This was advanced stuff that ordinary Sword Cultivators did not possess.

This was the place of Small Study, and besides Lu Xun, only Mao Nanbei and his second senior sister were around.

Mao Nanbei was a knife user, as Lu Xun had witnessed on a rainy night.

“So then, this Sword Intent… could it be my second senior sister’s doing?

Did the second sister use a sword? He hadn’t seen any swords in the bamboo grove.

Most importantly, why was second Senior Sister doing this, was it for special training?

The moment he thought of this, the game system actually triggered a quest.

“[Triggered quest, Gu Xiaoman’s Sword Intent Training, accept?]”

Without hesitation, Lu Xun clicked accept.

Having checked the quest details, the task didn’t require him to defeat the second Sister’s Sword Intent, which was completely unrealistic. Instead, he was tasked to endure for 30 days under the condition of being enveloped in Sword Intent!

This Sword Intent was merely a fraction of the vast Sword Intent held by his second Senior Sister.

Now he was doomed. For an entire month, even sleep wasn’t a peaceful endeavor.

“I hope I don’t die of a heart attack,” said Lu Xun with a bitter smile.

However, he couldn’t refuse this quest because the rewards were simply too enticing-

“[Swordsmanship Aptitude +1]!”

This was a rare special attribute. As much as he didn’t have a sword now, Lu Xun found it hard to resist it.

Even if he didn’t choose Sword Cultivation in the future, having an extra special attribute wouldn’t hurt.

“Heavenly Dust” followed the rule of “Know thy self, know thy enemy, a thousand battles, a thousand victories”. Even if he didn’t learn Sword Dao in the future, having an extra Swordsmanship Aptitude would give him an advantage when dealing with Sword Cultivators.

It was similar to his main character in his previous life where he coincidentally obtained [Gun Aptitude+l] through a hidden quest. Although he didn’t use a gun, whenever he encountered NPCs or players that did, he was able to deal an extra 10% damage!

As for what his main character specialized in?

It was the pole, the big stick.
