Chapter 35 - Surging Undercurrents

Lu Yu reached the sixth level of the body refining realm and had 124 points of qi-blood. He felt that his body was unprecedentedly powerful.

With a casual wave, the power of his punch was comparable to the full-force attack from his previous self. His strength had increased tremendously.

The Fierce Tiger Fist Style had already been trained to ‘perfected’ level, and it would be difficult for Lu Yu to find an opponent at the sixth level of the body refining realm. If he had the Hundred Forged Greatsword in his hand, Lu Yu was confident that he could face a seventh level body refining realm opponent head-on.

After leveling up, Lu Yu left the Han Residence and headed to Windmill Town to see if the Hundred Forged Greatsword had been strengthened. He also wanted to settle the matters of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.

Just now, the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion had sent someone to the Han Residence to invite Lu Yu to the Divine Weapon Pavilion. The shopkeeper said that he had something important to discuss.

On the way, Lu Yu was wondering if the shopkeeper of the Divine Weapon Pavilion was looking for him for the iron essence?

Before his cultivation realm advanced, Lu Yu had to spend nearly five minutes to travel twenty miles. After he had advanced to the sixth level of the body refining realm, he easily rushed back to Windmill Town in less than three minutes.

First, he went to the Tang Blacksmith Shop to see if his greatsword had been strengthened.

When Lu Yu saw that the Tang Blacksmith Shop had reopened for business, he knew that his greatsword should have been strengthened.

After finding Boss Tang, Boss Tang brought him to the warehouse. The middle of the warehouse had been emptied, and on the sturdy iron piece was a slightly strange-shaped sword, or rather, a saber.

Lu Yu was also unable to determine whether it was a sword or a saber.

The handle of this weapon alone took up one-third of the entire weapon. The middle part of the sword was slightly narrower than the two ends, and there was still no sword tip. The top of the sword slightly protruded two sharp horns on both sides.

The Hundred Forged Greatsword was slightly condensed. The blade looked thinner, but it was still very thick compared to ordinary weapons.

Boss Tang looked at the strengthened Hundred Forged Greatsword with satisfaction and introduced it to Lu Yu, “The Hundred Forged Greatsword is limited by its size and materials. The blade cannot be sharpened.”

“That’s why I specially made two sharp horns on the tip of the sword. This can make up for the lack of sharpness of the blade. When dealing with some special enemies, you can use the sharp horns to break through their defenses.”

After Lu Yu heard this, he went forward to pick up the strengthened Hundred Forged Greatsword. Looking at this strange-looking weapon, Lu Yu couldn’t help but think of the weapon that Xiang Yu used in “Honor of Kings”. The shape of the two weapons was very similar.

“During the forging process, I added some other materials. Now, this weapon weighs 632 jin.”

Boss Tang suggested, “After the reforge, it has changed a lot. Give it a new name!”

After pondering for a while, Lu Yu said, “Then let’s call it — Overlord Blade.”

This weapon looked very similar to Xiang Yu’s weapon, so he decided to use Xiang Yu’s title. Lu Yu named it Overlord Blade.

The reason why it was a blade and not a sword was because he was practicing blade techniques. It was a little inappropriate to call it a sword.

“Overlord Blade. This name is not bad. I hope you can use it to make a name for yourself.”

Lu Yu took the Overlord Blade and left Tang Blacksmith Shop. When he left, he left Boss Tang a hundred gold coins as compensation for the heavy forging of his weapons.

Boss Tang gladly accepted the money. The money he lost in the past few days was nothing compared to the additional materials he added to the Overlord Blade. However, he never thought of asking Lu Yu for money.

In Boss Tang’s opinion, it was a great deal to spend some of the materials that he had collected over the years to forge a fantastic weapon. This was his dream, and it was worth his effort.

Lu Yu walked into the Divine Weapon Pavilion and was brought up to the third floor.



The chief of the Wild Wolf Sect, Hei Lang, was hiding in a residential area in Windmill Town. This residential area was secretly purchased by the Wild Wolf Sect a while ago. It was the transit station for Ye Lang’s activities in Windmill Town.

Hei Lang, who was hidden in the darkness, said in a hoarse voice, “Have you found that person?”

Ye Lang was a hidden spy of the Wild Wolf Sect. He had never shown his face in public. Only the chief of the Wild Wolf Sect knew who he was. The other members of the Wild Wolf Sect only knew that there was a Ye Lang, and they did not even know whether Ye Lang was a man or a woman.

At this moment, Ye Lang stood in front of Hei Lang with his face covered, reporting the information he knew.

“It was Lu Yu who found our hiding place. Four days ago, when I went to Lu Yu’s small courtyard to monitor him, I found that he had already left that place and had not been seen for four days. However, this morning, he suddenly returned to the small courtyard and left very quickly.”

“When I followed Lu Yu, I found that he was rushing towards the Han Residence. By the time I found that Lu Yu was rushing towards Xiao Tang Mountain with his men, it was already too late for me to report the news.”

“Lu Yu? I’m going to kill him!” Hei Lang’s expression was savage, the veins on his temples bulging in anger.

Ye Lang thought for a moment and decided to tell Hei Lang the new discovery, “I discovered that Ma Gang might have been killed by Lu Yu. Over the past few days, the Tang Blacksmith Shop seemed to be forging something. I sneaked in and discovered that they were helping Lu Yu forge weapon.”

“Ma Gang’s injuries are very likely caused by that weapon.”

Hei Lang did not speak, the anger in his eyes grew more and more intense.

“Boss, I have one last message for you.” Ye Lang suddenly said.

“Hmm? You want to leave?” Hei Lang asked.

“Yes, thank you for taking care of me this past year, Boss. Windmill Town is too small, there’s no room for me anymore.”

Ye Lang’s figure stood still, but his voice gradually faded away, becoming soft and indistinct.

“Lu Yu has already received a recruitment from the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Once he arrives in Bei Feng City, Boss, you won’t be able to kill him for the rest of your life.”

Pu! With a smokescreen, Ye Lang had disappeared.

Hei Lang’s face was filled with fear, “Ye Lang, who exactly are you?”

A year ago, Ye Lang suddenly appeared in Hei Lang’s bedroom and said that he wanted to join the Wild Wolf Sect. He also told him many secrets, which allowed the Wild Wolf Sect to grow rapidly within a year and become the number one underground gang in Windmill Town.

Ye Lang repeatedly saying that he had no ill intentions, and he was only at the sixth level of the body refining realm. Other than some strange secret techniques, he wouldn’t have shown any threat.

Only then did Hei Lang allow Ye Lang to stay in the Wild Wolf Sect. At the same time, Hei Lang was also afraid of the information that Ye Lang possessed.

If the Wild Wolf Sect could use this information to become the number one underground gang, then the other factions could also do the same.

After hearing Ye Lang’s words, Hei Lang hesitated for a moment before leaving.

Ye Lang walked on the road leading to North Wind City, he was delighted. He had finally completed the assessment mission given to him by the main hall. He had spent a year to complete it, so his speed shouldn’t be considered slow!

Seeing the convoy in front of him, Ye Lang hurriedly ran over and called out, “Mister, can you give me a ride? I can pay the fare.”

The convoy leader saw that Ye Lang was a young man with a friendly smile and did not seem to be a threat at all. Then, the convoy’s leader said, “Come on up! There’s no need for the fare.”

“Thank you.”



Yang Xiu walked through the Han Residence and for the first time, he felt a sense of urgency. At present, the underground gangs that he had worked with had been wiped out, and only Hei Lang had escaped. If he waited any longer, he would probably be left behind in the Han Residence.

Since there was no chance, he could only force his way in.

He walked into a small courtyard where Han Yu lived and said, “Han Yu, I have good news for you. The Wild Wolf Sect that attacked you last time has been completely wiped out by us.”

“Really?” Han Yu was a little surprised and surprised. She had not been able to sleep well these few days. Now that the Wild Wolf Sect had been wiped out, her nightmare could finally end. She could sleep well tonight.

Yang Xiu said with a concerned look, “I see that you haven’t slept well these few days. I’ll accompany you for a walk to relax yourself and enjoy the scenery, so that you can sleep well at night.”

This was the first time Han Yu received an invitation from Yang Xiu. She was very excited, and her little heart was beating wildly. Coupled with the news of the destruction of the Wild Wolf Sect, she did not hesitate at all and agreed to Yang Xiu’s invitation.

“Wait a moment. I’ll go and touch up my makeup first.” After saying that, Han Yu quickly ran into the room and called a few maids to help her with her makeup.

“This is my first date with Yang Xiu. Is it better to wear light makeup or heavy makeup?” Han Yu looked at herself in the mirror and thought to herself in a daze.

“Miss is so beautiful. You’ll look good with either heavy makeup or light makeup.” the maidens said.



Yang Xiu waited outside. After waiting for a while, he became impatient, “Why did this woman have so many things to do? Why she took so long to put on a makeup?”

The longer he waited here, the more problems would arise. Yang Xiu could not wait to leave the Han Residence.

“Big Brother Yang, let’s go!” Han Yu walked out of the room and called out warmly.

The impatience on Yang Xiu’s face instantly disappeared. When he turned to look at her, his face was filled with surprise. It was as if he was stunned by her beauty after putting on makeup. However, his eyes were very calm and without a trace of emotion.

Han Yu was very satisfied with Yang Xiu’s expression. She smiled and took the initiative to hold his arm. Her face was flushed red. This was the first time she took the initiative to hold Yang Xiu’s arm.

Yang Xiu did not feel anything. With a faint smile on his face, he said to her softly, “Let’s go!”

“Okay.” Han Yu replied softly. She was a little nervous and regretful, “Am I too impulsive? Do I look unreserved?”

Along the way, the guards saw Han Yu holding onto Yang Xiu’s arm. They lowered their heads and pretended not to see her. They did not even dare to greet her, afraid that they would disturb the intoxicated Han Yu.

Yang Xiu gently nodded and greeted everyone along the way. When Zhang Lun saw the two of them, he froze on the spot. After the two of them left him for a long time, he finally regained his senses. His heart was completely shattered.

Butler Zhang bumped into Zhang Lun and frowned when he saw him like this. He asked, “What did you do? Why are you like this?”

“I saw Miss and Yang Xiu.” Zhang Lun replied with a blank look in his eyes.

“What happened to them?” Butler Zhang was a little puzzled. What did Yang Xiu and Han Yu do to cause his nephew to look like this?

“Nothing, nothing…” Zhang Lun walked past Butler Zhang in a daze.

“Come back, tell me clearly!” Butler Zhang shouted loudly, jolting Zhang Lun out of his sorrow.



Lu Yu walked out of the Divine Weapon Pavilion with a token that was neither gold nor wood. This was the Divine Weapon Pavilion’s hero recruitment token.

With the hero recruitment token, he could report to the Divine Weapon Pavilion branch in Bei Feng City and join the Divine Weapon Pavilion. Of course, there would be some tests during the process.

Shopkeeper Ge of the Divine Weapon Pavilion also explained why he sent people to stalk Lu Yu, so that he would not leave a bad impression.

Walking to the entrance of the small courtyard, Lu Yu felt a little strange. Little Tail was not in the courtyard. Ever since he brought Little Tail to harvest the iron essence, Lu Yu had not arranged for anyone to watch over her. Perhaps she was moving around within the area of the medicine shop and the small courtyard.

Normally, when he was not around, Little Tail would stay in the courtyard. Lu Yu felt a little strange that she did not see Little Tail when he came back today.

When he walked into the room, he found a dagger nailed to the table in the living room. The dagger nailed the oil paper hat that Little Tail often wore to the table. The words on the hat were written.

“If you want to save her, meet me at the top of Xiao Tang Mountain..”
