The Primal Fire: Book 1 of Starchild Escapes Arranged Marriage

by Fat Bread

  But I tell you, you are wrong!

  You know nothing about true talent!

  Your biggest mistake was just sitting by and watching me kill the twenty-seven stone soldiers who could originally help you!

  One fighting against thirty and one fighting against three were two totally different situations!

  Quicksilver Motion!

  Giving up defence and using the skill of Flying Swallow Sword to its limit!

  The first attack of the hovering swallow!

  "Hee ha!" Stone Soldier Two tensed his muscles. He held his heavy sword and made a whirlwind slash.

  "Hee!" Stone Soldier Number One threw out his whirling twin swords from his hands. The twin swords dropped from the sky from a weird angle.

  "Buzz!" The Snake Bones Soft Sword suddenly quivered in the hands of Stone Soldier Number Three. It was like a viper that darted out from the grass, biting at the hovering swallow.

  In their eyes, Yun Xi's Flying Swallow Sword was the only move they thought that could threaten them. However, after observing him for so long, they had found the weakness of the flying swallow.

  The Viper's Bite that Stone Soldier Number Three understood was faster than the flying swallow.

  "Who told you that I can only use the Flying Swallow Sword?!"

  The first attack of flying swallow was not completed, because Yun Xi proactively broke it.

  You were my first target!

  Nine cold sword lights flashed. It was way more swift, violent, and deadly than the Snake Bones Soft Sword.

  Attack the weakest one. Though Stone Soldier Number Three had the weirdest sword skill and the fastest speed among all the three top-level stone soldiers, but he was still at the 2nd rank. He was the weakest one among all the three people.

  In order to pursue speed, he must weaken his defence. From the beginning, Yun Xi was aiming at Stone Soldier Number Three, because his threat was the biggest and his weakness was also very conspicuous.

  "Chi! Chi! Chi!" With the noise of wind and the noise of blood dropped down, before the smile disappeared from the corner of Stone Soldier Number Three's mouth, his body had been cut into two by Yun Xi.

  As a price, one of Yun Xi's hands was chopped down by the whirling sword from the side.

  "Even if I have only one hand, you still can't beat me down!" Why had Yun Xi left them to the end? Not only because they were the strongest, but also because they were the most stupid.

  They knew nothing about true talent.

  The sword was dancing. This time, Yun Xi finally used the complete Flying Swallow Triple Attack.

  Stone Soldier Number Two looked very shocked. He put the heavy sword in front of himself, trying to block Yun Xi's critical slash.

  You can't block my attack!

  The first attack chopped on the left part of the heavy sword.

  The second attack chopped on the right part of the heavy sword.

  The last attack was as elegant as the flying swallow, chopping down Stone Soldier Number Two's head.

  Your greatest weakness was that you don't know the horror between life and death!

  After going beyond the limit of oneself, humans could have an outbreak of incredible potential that is even greater and beyond their own imagination!

  Chapter 45: Kill!

  "How is this possible!" As the only Stone Soldier left standing, Stone Soldier Number One looked incredulously at Yun Xi who had lost one of his arms and was stained with blood.

  He remembered that three seconds ago, they still had an overwhelming advantage because the human body had its limit.

  After killing twenty-seven stone soldiers - though there were just some trash fish or cannon fodders in their eyes - he should already be very tired.

  After seeing the brat's miserable appearance, the three people played the hunter game with ease, preparing to slaughter this unenlightened kid with the most terrible method.

  "Your biggest arrogant mistake was to give up your numerical superiority." Yun Xi gasped. Though he had lost one of his arms, his eyes were still bright.

  The biggest difference between the first star trial and the newbie trial was that the number of his enemies grew by leaps.

  One versus one with Hua Huo's seed, as a 1st ranked warrior, Yun Xi could even kill 3rd-ranked monsters like the fierce green hippo.

  One versus thirty, though Yun Xi already reached the 2nd rank, he had already been killed three hundred times by the stone soldiers, who were also at the 2nd rank.

  By using the bloody reality, the stars were teaching Yun Xi what the true battlefield was like.

  Here, no one would have a one-on-one fight with you. If you had to face over thirty enemies, flesh and blood could do nothing.

  Maybe when Hua Huo was still at the 2nd rank, she could kill the thirty people by herself with ease, but that didn't mean Yun Xi could do the same.

  He wasn't Hua Huo. Even though his combat awareness had reached the 3rd rank, his body didn't. He needed to adjust his body and try again and again, suffering attacks by using his own flesh and blood, in order to figure out what the weapons were, the battle skills, and attack habits of the thirty stone soldiers.

  Every death let Yun Xi gain a deeper understanding about the bloody battlefield.

  If the Limit Practice in the valley opened the door of the warrior for Yun Xi, then you could say that the formal trial led Yun Xi to finally step on the road behind the door.

  After dying for 315 times, Yun Xi finally found the way to success. By using the three top-level stone soldiers' arrogance, he killed the other twenty-seven ordinary stone soldiers.

  As higher-level stone soldiers, they owned special legacies. Their biggest shortcoming was their disdain for those ordinary stone soldiers.

  They could never imagine that without the twenty-seven ordinary stone soldiers and with only themselves to fight with Yun Xi, what a terrifying strength he could burst out with.

  "Dammit..." As his two hands held the whirling sword, streams of sweat dropped from Stone Soldier Number One's forehead.

  Why has this dream suddenly changed?

  He still remembered that just now, it was still a game to let them slaughter the stupid and overconfident newbie.

  However, in an instant, the newbie became a terrifying monster. He'd killed two of the strongest three people!

  "No! I'm the strongest!"

  "They are just my sidekicks!" As a top-level elite of a noble family, he wouldn't concede defeat.

  "You... are scared..." Yun Xi took a deep breath.

  "Me? No!" Stone Soldier Number One held his twin swords.

  "You beastly kid, you think your talent is enough to support your arrogance?

  "You don't understand how many times we are better than you!

  "I will let you witness my true power!

  "You've lost one of your arms, in that case, do you still think that you can match up to me?"

  His twin swords danced in the air. It was a sword skill Yun Xi had never seen. In a flash, he lost the twin swords from his sight.

  It was no wonder that he was an elite of a noble family. Yun Xi didn't look down on his opponent's strongest attack.

  Quicksilver Motion!

  Flying Swallow Triple Attack!

  "There you go. It's just the Flying Swallow Attack!" Stone Soldier Number One had realized what Yun Xi's sword skill was.

  Flying Swallow Attack was famous for its dexterity and elegance. It needed its practitioners to have a high flexibility and manual dexterity, a secret sword skill that could only be learned by people who had extraordinary talent.

  In the air, this sword skill was created by a real swordmaster. When he used this skill, he could cut off space. Besides, it was the key leading to more advanced sword skills.

  However, most of the people who were able to master this secret sword skill were girl geniuses who were thirteen or fourteen years old.

  Very few Mortal males had the physical flexibility and manual dexterity to learn this sword s
kill. As time passed, the Flying Swallow Sword nearly became a special sword skill that could only be learned by females.

  The whirling twin swords became two crane wing-like light balls. They flew from the left and right, crashing into each other with Yun Xi's Flying Swallow Triple Attack.

  The first attack, his Flying Swallow was bounced back by the whirling sword on the left.

  The second attack, his Flying Swallow was bounced back by the whirling sword on the right.

  His last attack, the secret assassin attack, was also blocked by the crossed two swords.

  In the next moment, two swords cut through Yun Xi's body together, giving him a deadly attack.

  How awesome was it! It wasn't inferior to the Flying Swallow Sword at all. Yun Xi felt like he was blind as a bat, which meant that his physical strength and mental strength both reached its limits.

  Just now, he killed Stone Soldier Number Two and Number Three, he needed to pay for it. Especially the nine sword lights he used to kill the stone soldier who had the Snake Bones Soft Sword. It was the first time that Yun Xi used them. He couldn't control them perfectly yet.

  However, he hadn't failed yet!

  "Aaaargh!" He didn't think that he had to fear anything.

  Since he didn't fall down, it meant that the fight hadn't ended yet, you Childe of a noble family!

  "Bang!" Though Yun Xi's body was cut through by the two swords, he didn't hesitate to knock his body on the Stone Soldier Number One's body, and the next was his fierce headbutt attack.

  "Ah!" With a piercing scream, Stone Soldier number One, who thought he had achieved victory, toppled to the ground. A bloodstain appeared on his forehead.

  I say, you Childes who grew up in a greenhouse, you underestimate the battlefield too much.

  Before I was able to do this, I had been killed by you 315 times!

  Yun Xi ground his teeth, drawing the sword out of his own body and brandishing it towards him.

  The last stone soldier's head flew to the sky. A great deal of blood spurted out of his neck, staining Yun Xi's body, making him dirtier.

  However, he was the winner.

  Compared to the battle between him and the green hippo, the battle this time was more brutal, desperate, and cruel. However, by relying on the sword talent Hua Huo's seed brought him, and his will of never giving up and collapsing, Yun Xi finally passed the first stage.

  In front of the first palace, an enormous number of green souls flew around on the battlefield, as Yun Xi then absorbed them one by one.

  By absorbing them, Yun Xi's wounds and awful scars all recovered bit by bit.

  The warm bonfire lit up Yun Xi's gritty face. The bloody sword blade was reflected in his eyes.

  Finally, he took his first step in the trial of blood and fire.

  "The next step is to check my spoils."

  Chapter 46: Forging

  Sure enough, the formal trial was unlike the newbie trial.

  Though it was difficult, in the first level of the trial - the first group of stone soldiers had killed Yun Xi three hundred times, but Yun Xi had also obtained equal rewards from them.

  Yun Xi only obtained the hippo's soul from the green hippo. However, besides the stone soldier's souls, the stone soldier army Yun Xi killed also provided him four spoils.

  Three of the spoils made Yun Xi feel the importance of weapons and the equipment Yun Xi obtained in the formal trial.

  The two cranes swords - they were two famous swords owned by the second Childe of the Yun He family, and forged by the seventeenth successor of God Craftsman Ou Yezi.

  They were two swords specially made for supporting the Yun He Sword Skill. They had the property that could be thrown out to attack enemies by itself and then fly back to its master.

  "The Yun He Sword Skill..." Yun Xi couldn't stop himself from remembering the several people who were living in the highest bamboo houses in the small village. Childe Yun He was one of them.

  The next was the two-handed sword that the Number Two Stone Soldier used.

  It was a standard two-handed sword of the Thunder Army in the Western God's Domains - he walking sword of Childe Si Nian, and was made by the Western God Artisan's Guild.

  It was 108 kg and only a person with superhuman strength could use it. It could even be used as a siege weapon!

  The last one was the weirdest sword, which brought Yun Xi the biggest trouble.

  Snake Bones Soft Sword - it was the heritage spirit weapon of the White Lotus Sword Domain's Snake Bones Family. It was held by the current Childe Snake Bones, and no one knew who its maker was. People only knew that it was probably forged from some hero-ranked spirit snakes' remnant parts.

  It was specially made for supporting the Snake Bones Sword Skill. After reaching the Hero rank, its user could summon the shadow of the spirit snake out of the sword to fight for him.

  Spirit Weapon. It was the first spirit weapon Yun Xi had obtained.

  Mortals couldn't display the true power of weapons at this level. They could only use them as the best mortal-ranked weapons.

  No wonder Childe Snake Bones's attacks were so weird - the Snake Bones Soft Sword was a true Spirit Weapon! It was a great waste to be used by a Mortal.

  "But I can't use them at all!" Looking at the spoils he obtained in his first formal trial, Yun Xi was a little annoyed.

  No matter if it was the two Cranes Swords or Snake Bones Soft Sword, they were all specially made for supporting sword skills. Especially the Snake Bones Soft Sword, it needed a special bloodline to match with it. In that case, Yun Xi couldn't even use it.

  Now, Yun Xi could only use the standard two-handed sword of the Thunder Army from the Western God's Domain.

  However, Yun Xi's power was from Hua Huo's seed; his strongest sword skill was the lightweight and flexible Flying Swallow Sword. It wasn't something that matched with the super giant sword which weighed 108 kilograms.

  Yun Xi twisted the corner of his mouth slightly after he imagined his slender Hua Huo waving the two-handed giant sword to attack someone.

  No, no, he couldn't use them. After picking and choosing, Yun Xi found that now, the newbie iron sword was still the optimal choice for him.

  Fortunately, the fourth spoil gave Yun Xi a hint, that even though these weapons didn't fit him, they could still offer him their power.

  The last spoils were ten small crystals that emitted teeny green lights.

  These fragments of green crystals were the Essence of Weapon Enhancement. They could be used to forge and enhance low-level weapons. (The fragments could be obtained after randomly defeating enemies or by disassembling low-level weapons.)

  "Disassemble them." Yun Xi decided to dissemble the Snake Bones Soft Sword and the flying Crane Wings Twin Swords, leaving only the two-handed giant sword, because he thought that maybe he could use it.

  The method to disassembling weapons was simple, he had only to throw the weapon he couldn't use into the bonfire.

  "Ding!" After a while, dozens of the fragments of green crystals flew out from the bonfire and fell into Yun Xi's hands.

  "Well, the Crane Wings Twin Swords gave me four fragments."

  "The Snake Bones Soft Sword is worthy of being called a Spirit Weapon, it gave me thirty-one fragments!" After counting out all the fragments of green crystals he had, Yun Xi moved his eyes to the four pieces of equipment in his armory.

  The newbie iron sword, the newbie cloth armor, the newbie wooden shield, and the standard two-handed sword of the Thunder Army from the Western God's Domain.

  At the first glance, it would be best to use all the fragments of green crystals to forge and enhance the last spoil, because it could improve his combat capabilities immediately.

  The problem was that the strongest choice was not always the optimal choice. After hesitating for a while, Yun Xi chose the newbie iron sword - because it was the most suitable one for him.

  Up to now, he had the highest proficiency with the newbie iron sword among all the wea
pons he had used. He decided to change for a better sword after obtaining more spoils after the trial.

  As for the uncommon standard two-handed sword of the Thunder Army, oh, maybe he could learn how to use it in the future.

  "Enhance the newbie iron sword." After putting the newbie iron sword in front of the bonfire, Yun Xi sent out the "Enhancing" order.
