Chapter 8. Got into the Car of a Female Driver

Chapter 8. Got into the Car of a Female Driver

For most disciples, going out for trials is the first experience.

The Xuanyun Sect can’t help but feel worried, so they arranged high-ranking elders to lead the various teams.

The elders are not there to help them grind levels; mainly, they’ll act if the disciples find themselves in trouble.

His team is led by Elder Yuan, the old guy who sparred with Lin Nuo’s Second Martial Sister early that morning.

Of course, someone like Lin Nuo wouldn’t have a big-shot to go fight robbers in a small village back when she was reborn.

Candle Star Town—if Su Kexin didn’t go there for her trials, it’s due to the butterfly effect. When Lin Nuo’s list position changed, her whole monster-fighting and leveling route changed too.

This time, there are multiple disciples with them, suggesting the mission level is significant. But that’s fine; the higher the task level, the more chances he has to kill Su Kexin.

Elder Yuan, with his white hair, led Lin Nuo and the others to the edge of Tianling Mountain’s cliff, stroking his long beard, and smiled at the disciples: “You all can fly with your swords, right?”

“Hm.”

“Yes.”

Except for Lin Nuo, the other disciples replied they could fly with their swords.

Elder Yuan looked at Lin Nuo: “What about you, Lin Nuo?”

“I can’t.” Lin Nuo directly rejected.

Elder Yuan sighed helplessly, well, after five years of cultivation and still only Second Stage, it’s normal not to be able to fly with a sword.

“Then pick someone to stand on your sword.”

At that moment, Liu Shuqin looked at him, and everyone knew who he would pick; only Liu Shuqin had a slightly better relationship with him.

However…

“I’ll stand on Junior Martial Sister’s sword.”

Lin Nuo pointed to Su Kexin.

“Ah?” Su Kexin was surprised, “Senior Brother, I just recently succeeded; flying alone is fine, but with another person… that might not be appropriate…”

“It’s fine, I trust you. Plus, Elder Yuan is here, so consider it practice.”

“Uh…”

Su Kexin hesitated; this was long-distance flying, and it was her first time carrying someone. If something went wrong…

She looked at Elder Yuan, who nodded, signaling it was okay.

After all, with Elder Yuan around, he would keep an eye on them, and taking this chance to fly with someone didn’t seem bad.

“Okay, then.”

Su Kexin agreed, and everyone began to draw their swords and channel their spirit, causing their long swords to hover in front of them, stepping onto them one by one.

Zhou Jianhu, always headstrong, rushed ahead first, followed by Guan Lei and the others, who took off in succession.

“Shuqin, why aren’t you flying?”

“Back to Elder Yuan, I want to wait for my Junior Brothers and Sisters.”

“Right, if she can’t do it, then you take over.”

Both set their sights on Lin Nuo and Su Kexin, who looked a bit tense as Su Kexin lightly stepped onto the long sword.

“Senior Brother, you should get on.”

Lin Nuo stepped aboard, immediately noticing the sword wasn’t very stable.

It was like getting into a car driven by a newly-licensed female driver.

“Okay, Senior Brother, I’m about to fly!”

With that, Su Kexin focused on channeling her spirit, flying up on the sword.

The sword shot up a few meters, shaking violently, on the verge of falling.

Su Kexin concentrated hard to control the sword; it was fine while hovering, but the moment it moved, it shook, and speeding up made it even more thrilling.

Lin Nuo couldn’t help but hold his forehead.

Seriously? You call yourself the main character, and you can’t even fly steadily with someone? How embarrassing!

Can you stop shaking? We’re about to drop!

If the main character is protected, Su Kexin could fall and be fine, but I might die before achieving anything, and right at my doorstep too.

Forget it.

Lin Nuo directed his spirit into the sword, stabilizing it in the blink of an eye, allowing for smooth flying.

Flying with a sword is like riding a bike; it takes skill, and it doesn’t require a lot of spirit power to maintain; once proficient, it’s easy to handle.

As long as he steps on the sword, he can intervene.

“Ah, I finally stabilized it!”

Su Kexin was sweating, and after much effort, she finally managed to stabilize the sword, feeling particularly happy.

Lin Nuo could only chuckle.

Below, Elder Yuan saw that Su Kexin had stabilized the sword and felt relieved.

“Shuqin, let’s take off too.”

“Okay.”

The two stepped onto their flying swords, following behind Su Kexin.

The disciples flew on their swords, leaving streaks of white cloud mist in the blue sky.

Lin Nuo had brought his sharp dagger; being behind Su Kexin was a golden opportunity to stab her in the back.

To backstab the main character, it has to be a fatal blow; if she doesn’t die, she’ll explode, and then Lin Nuo will be in trouble.

But with Elder Yuan and the Master Sister watching, it wouldn’t be wise to act.

He had a bold idea.

Accelerate, shake them off, then stab Su Kexin and toss her down, stealing her sword and bolting away.

Perfect.

“Junior Sister, you can speed up a bit more, keep up with the front.”

“Okay, Senior Brother.”

Su Kexin channeled her energy, increasing the speed of her flying sword, flying steadily.

“Faster.”

“Alright.”

Again, she sped up, still steady.

“Not fast enough, go faster.”

“Senior Brother, it’s already very fast, I’m afraid…”

“Trials are about breaking through yourself. Flying requires letting go; just relax; Elder Yuan is watching, what are you afraid of?”

Right, I have Lin Nuo stabilizing me; why panic? Just floor it.

Su Kexin thought it made sense; with Elder Yuan watching, if anything went wrong, he would intervene.

She took a deep breath, increased her spirit power, and the sword shot forward sharply; with Lin Nuo secretly injecting energy to assist, the collision of the powers between the world-destroying villain and the main character propelled the sword to its peak speed.

Flying and zooming!

At this moment, Guan Lei and Xu Yudong were still flying ahead.

“Second Senior Brother, can you believe it? Lin Nuo can’t even fly on a sword, and he’s standing on Junior Sister’s. How embarrassing! These two are slower than snails; when will they get there?”

Guan Lei was snickering, just about to turn back to see how far behind Su Kexin and Lin Nuo were when suddenly whoosh, a powerful wind blew past.

Guan Lei was puzzled: “Did something just fly by?”

He turned his gaze to the front.

Holy moly, it’s Su Kexin and Lin Nuo! What the heck, are they crazy?!

That speed is lightning fast, even outpacing the headstrong Zhou Jianhu.

“When did they…?! Second Senior Brother, we need to catch up!”

Guan Lei and the others immediately stepped up their pace, but the distance between them and Su Kexin kept widening, completely out of sight.

Elder Yuan and Liu Shuqin hurried to catch up.

“Elder Yuan, what’s going on with them?” Guan Lei felt something was off.

“Not sure, but we need to get them to stop; it’s too dangerous.”

Elder Yuan clasped his hands together, propelled forward like lightning, chasing after Su Kexin and Lin Nuo, while Liu Shuqin also increased her spirit power, shooting ahead like a streak of white light through the clouds.

Su Kexin was flying with confidence, thinking Elder Yuan would be keeping an eye on them, completely unaware of how much distance they had put between themselves.

Perfect, now!

Lin Nuo pulled out his sharp knife, aiming for Su Kexin’s heart.

Die, Su Kexin!

“Senior Brother, look! That’s Qiuming Mountain, so beautiful!”

Just as Lin Nuo was about to strike, Su Kexin suddenly turned her head back excitedly, startling Lin Nuo, who quickly retracted his knife. But due to the sudden distraction, his spell was disturbed, and the flying sword began to shake violently.

“Ah!”

The sudden shake caused Su Kexin to lose her balance, tumbling into Lin Nuo’s arms.
