Chapter 135: A Blacksmithing Family, Meeting Li Xingchen Once More, And The Legend Of The Hundred Swords Spectrum

After Sword Hoarder fled the scene, the crowd continued to stare at Chu Kuangren in shock.

The man was an Honorable!

How did Chu Kuangren scare him off like that?

This young man’s power was so overwhelming. Only very few youngsters could achieve such heights.

“Is this the famous Chu Kuangren from three years ago? Goodness, he’s so strong. Even without an Emperor’s Essence, he’s no weaker than a Young Emperor!”

“Please, even a Young Emperor wouldn’t be able to handle a single strike from him. I’m pretty sure that only some ancient evil mage can spar with him now.”

“True. Chu Kuangren is too scary.”

“Tsk. The bully became the bullied. Serves you right, Sword Hoarder.”

In the void, the three protectors looked at each other. They could not help but feel sorry for Sword Hoarder.

Was he weak?

Well, not really. Someone who could hold the title as one of the Seven Heroes of swordsmanship could never really be considered weak.

It was just a pity that he had to run into the freak that Chu Kuangren was, his sword formations were chained and rendered useless.

“Lan Yu, let’s go.”

“Of course. Lead the way, Brother Chu.”

Just before the two wanted to leave, the rough voice of a man called out to them.

He turned around to see a man with a well-built body and a squarish face approach them curiously.

“And who might this good sir be?”

“Greetings, Brother Chu. I am Feng Ming. I am part of Sword Prayer City’s Feng family.”

“The Feng family?”

Runes circled in Chu Kuangren’s eyes as he looked into the person before him, and he was indeed from the Feng family.

The Feng family was Sword Prayer City’s largest blacksmithing family, in which each generation lived and breathed sword-making. They were the ones who forged the Century Sword.

“May I know what Brother Feng needs?”

“The Feng family has a close relationship to the Black Heaven Sect, and Brother Chu is their Senior Elder Brother. To tell you the truth, the Descendant Self Sword you hold was forged by our family’s ancestors, and I have been fascinated by my ancestors’ craft for the longest time. Hence, I’d like to pay my respects to it,” Feng Meng said expectantly.

Chu Kuangren gave it a thought before passing the sword to Feng Meng.

He was not afraid of him stealing it as he had none of those capabilities.

Feng Meng took the Descendant Self Sword and carefully observed it. His eyes were beaming with admiration. “As expected of my ancestors, it’s one of the best swords ever forged. With something of such caliber, I still have a lot to improve on.”

Feng Meng sighed and returned the sword to Chu Kuangren. “Brother Chu has come a long way. If you don’t mind, the Feng family would be happy to house you for a while.”

“I hope it’s no trouble.” Chu Kuangren faintly nodded.

However, just as he was about to leave, Chu Kuangren noticed that Honorable Swordsman of Snow was staring at him hesitantly, shuffling his feet.

Chu Kuangren looked back for a moment before walking up to him. He then took out the Snowpiercer from the case and handed it over. “Here. Your sword.”

“Brother Chu, this…”

“Take it. Your sword is of no use to me.” Chu Kuangren stated simply. The sword was indeed useless to him. It would be better to return it to its owner than to leave it here like a piece of scrap. He could take it as an act of kindness from him.

“I humbly thank you for your benevolence, Brother Chu!” Honorable Swordsman of Snow stepped back and kneeled before Chu Kuangren.

“Please, stand up.”

Chu Kuangren left shortly after handing the sword back, and Honorable Swordsman of Snow watched his retreating figure with eyes full of gratitude.

“Chu Kuangren doesn’t just look like a god but he’s as kind and benevolent as one too. What he did was so admirable.”

Feng Meng expressed his sincere admiration on the way back to the Feng Manor.

He had seen too many disingenuous people pretending to be nice, so someone like Chu Kuangren was rare.

“It was nothing.” Chu Kuangren smiled.

Soon enough, the three arrived at Feng Manor.

“Oh, Brother Chu!”

They came face to face with a familiar person the moment they entered.

It was Li Xingchen from White Cloud City’s White Jade Hotel.

“Brother Li, what are you doing here?”

Chu Kuangren was equally surprised.

“I’m here with Master Windbeard. Since Sword Prayer City is hosting the Great Sword Tournament this time, I came to see the festivities and ended up staying here.”

Li Xingchen smiled.

Master Windbeard was White Cloud City’s master weaponsmith, as well as one of the Fengs. The Golden Lotus that Li Xingchen had brought to the banquet in the past was forged by Master Windbeard, and the two were close associates.

Upon meeting an old friend, Chu Kuangren and Li Xingchen proceeded to catch up with each other.

Feng Meng then introduced Chu Kuangren to the Feng family’s current head, Feng Xuanzi. He was a grey-haired elderly man, but his body was very muscular and exuded a very powerful personality.

Chu Kuangren was slightly intimidated by his physique and muscles.

He could feel the terrifying power that those muscles held.

Beside Feng Xuanzi was another elderly man who looked similar to Xuanzi, but it was his brother, Feng Huzi.

The two brothers could be said as the most famous swordsmiths in the world right now.

“It must have been a long trip, Black Heaven Chief.” Feng Xuanzi’s eyes shone with mirth upon seeing Chu Kuangren.

The Exquisite Nine Orifices Sword Heart was not only the perfect physique for swordsmen, but it would also allow one to be an owner that all swords would want to follow.

As a swordsmith, he was naturally curious about this physique.

After eyeing Chu Kuangren, Feng Xuanzi had also asked to see the Descendant Self Sword and Chu Kuangren had no reason to object.

“This sword was forged by my ancestors before they followed the Black Heaven Sect’s Third Forefather into various corners of the world. Only then did it become a sacred weapon. Now you’re its new owner, I hope Junior Chu will take good care of it.”

Feng Xuanzi said solemnly.

“Of course.”

“Alright, I’ll have my people arrange a room for you.”

“Thank you.”

In the evening, Li Xingchen came back to Chu Kuangren to continue their catch up.

As they talked, he learned that Li Xingchen was also rather fortunate in the past three years. He may not have gotten an Emperor’s Essence, but fate took him down a different path. As his cultivation base improved by leaps and bounds, Xingchen was now in the Battle Monarch Realm and his combat ability was as powerful as an Honorable.

He was considered a well-known sky pride in the Azure Dragon Domain.

“Li Xingchen, White Jade Hotel’s Young Master. Starlight Physique. Cultivating the Sage Technique ‘Milky Way Technique’. Hides a Remnant Spirit of a Sage Ruler within…”

Chu Kuangren’s Eye of Revelation worked its magic, telling him everything about Li Xingchen, including his current realm, techniques, and more.

However, the Sage Ruler’s Remnant Spirit surprised him.

Could that be the legendary Old Kindred Spirit?

Huh, to think that Li Xingchen was a textbook protagonist.

“Oh right, do you know why Master Windbeard came to Sword Prayer City?” Li Xingchen suddenly whispered mysteriously, unaware that Chu Kuangren had performed a background update on his life.

“Isn’t it because of the Century Sword’s appearance?”

“No, Master Windbeard has been in White Cloud City for many years, but he has never returned, not even when the sword appeared a few times before.”

“Then why did he come back this time?”

“Because he and his brothers, the Feng family heads, are preparing to compile a book, known as the Hundred Swords Spectrum!”

“Hundred Swords Spectrum?”

“Yes! It’s going to be a compilation of the world’s famous swords that will be ranked based on various aspects such as quality, grade, their owner, and more topics.”

“It’s the reason why Master Windbeard stayed in White Cloud City for so many years. Back then, because Honorable Swordsman White Cloud was in White Cloud City, it was a perfect chance to gather information with so many of them coming and leaving the city so often. Even Honorable Swordsmen would occasionally appear.”

“Besides that, the Feng family had also sent people to various places to collect information. They’ve been planning to compile the Hundred Swords Spectrum for so many years, but now I hear that the Feng family plans to use this chance to open the Hundred Swords Spectrum to the public!”

Li Xingchen whispered.
