Chapter 34
*Crack!*
Lin Sheng’s elbow hit a board as he rolled on the ground,
The board was smashed into pieces, while his elbow bled from being all scratched up .
Under normal circumstances, he may have cried out in pain, but now he did not even have time to breathe .
*Bang!!*
A mass of black lines smashed madly into the window frames and dashed toward him .
The black lines were spinning and dancing along the way . Everything the inky wires touched would quickly be dyed black and disintegrate . They would turn into black powder and melt into the black “wires” .
Lin Sheng dashed all the way to the gate of Blackfeather City!
Behind him, the black lines were thudding wildly along the gravel on the street .
Wherever they went, stone or road were all crushed into black powder in an instant, integrating into the wires .
Lin Sheng rushed toward the gate, glanced back, and fell to the ground in shock .
*Bang!!*
A great mass of black lines dropped down behind him, piercing the ground .
If he had not rolled on the ground, he would have been pierced into a hornet’s hive by now .
Lin Sheng got up and ran out of Blackfeather City without wasting any time .

At his rear, the great mass of black lines kept circling in the air, but they did not move beyond the gate at all .
The black lines then slowly retracted, darting back into the house .
In an instant, everything was calm again .
Lin Sheng sat in the middle of the road outside the city, sweating and panting .
He could feel his vision beginning to blur and that he was about to wake up .
He had failed to explore Blackfeather City .
Blackfeather City, which seemed dead and calm, was indescribably dangerous .
“Next time, I’ll have to find a chance… I don’t believe this…” Lin Sheng sat on the ground, clenching his teeth .
There were so many holes all around Blackfeather City . He did not believe that he could not find a safer way in .
Even at the risk of his own life, he had to find the Valent Sanctum and get the Limit Breaker .
However, his field of vision gradually blurred .
*Beep! Beep!*
The alarm clock on his bedside table beeped nonstop .
Lin Sheng opened his eyes and sat up on his bed . He gently exhaled and tossed his blanket aside .

It was already bright outside, and the clock read nine o’clock sharp .
“It was a failure… But this is just the beginning…”
He rolled out of bed, took off his pajamas, and put on his clothes .
Then, he brushed his messy hair in front of the mirror to make himself look good .
Finally, he pulled the sword he had borrowed from the club out of his closet, carried it on his back, and exited the bedroom .
The long sword was kept in a black case, which Shayeen had sponsored . It looked like an ordinary violin case .
As soon as Lin Sheng walked out of his room, he heard a voice coming from the living room . It sounded like a girl reciting something in a foreign language .
He paused and entered the living room .
A girl in a white shirt and a knee-length red checkered skirt was sitting on the sofa . She was about fifteen or sixteen years old with short hair .
The girl’s skin was fair like snow in the morning light .
“Good morning!” Seeing Lin Sheng enter the living room, the girl quickly stood up and gave him a sweet smile .
“Xiao Xi? When did you get here? Have you had your breakfast?”
Lin Sheng was a little surprised .
The girl’s name An Xi, but his family called her Xiao Xi . She was his cousin, the daughter of his aunt . They lived near each other, so she would visit occasionally .

He was quite familiar with An Xi, but their relationship was just so-so .
“Yes, my mom made some hot sauce and asked me to send some to your parents . But I forgot to bring my keys…” An Xi said with an embarrassed smile
“So diligent…” Lin Sheng looked at the textbook in her hand .
The book was as long as a thick magazine with an old cover . It had obviously been flipped through many times .
“Where are you going? Aunt and uncle went to work, and they asked me to eat with you later . ” An Xi hurriedly asked when she noticed that Lin Sheng was carrying a long black case .
“I’ll be back in a moment . You just stay at home and study . ” Lin Sheng could not tell her that he was going to the club to coach swordsmanship .
He had made too much progress in the club and went straight to coaching . It did not make sense to reach such a level of swordsmanship without a long period of practice .
Besides, his family knew that he could not have been practicing the sword for a long time .
Hence, Lin Sheng chose to hide it .
“Are you going to the cyber cafe?”
Lin Sheng was speechless . “Well, I’m going now . Take care of the house . ”
“Okay…” An Xi nodded .
Carrying the sword case, Lin Sheng put on his shoes, took a thermos and towel, then opened the door and left .
An Xi quietly watched as Lin Sheng closed the door . She then heard the echo of him walking down the stairs .
Sitting on the sofa, she decided to carry on memorizing the words in her book .
Suddenly, she saw the money left by her aunt on the table .
“He forgot to take the money . ” She did not think much and quickly grabbed the money before she ran to the balcony, wanting to call him back .
That was when she spotted Lin Sheng at the gate .
Unexpectedly, a young girl wearing sunglasses approached him, and the two began to talk .
The girl was fashionably dressed as well as in good shape, and behind her were two tall, sturdy men .
They then got on a bus together and left .
Curiosity flickered in An Xi’s eyes .
According to her knowledge about her cousin, there was nothing special about him, and he had no advantages in terms of appearance or height .
His academic performance was not really good too . Basically, he had a low sense of existence . Perhaps, the only plus point was that he had a fair complexion .
At first, her impression of him was just that of an ordinary person, but now it seemed that… It seemed that he had some secret social circle .
That girl had a hot body . Although she was wearing sunglasses, she certainly looked good . The clothes she was wearing were quite expensive, highlighting her exquisite figure .
That girl’s family background had to be very different from her cousin’s . How did he come to know her?
“He’s not as honest as I thought…” An Xi was now a little curious about Lin Sheng .
