Spring and Xi, the bright spring light shines on the earth, everything is full of vitality, poplars stand tall, each branch is full of green leaves, full of vitality.

In the open space in the middle of this vibrant poplar tree, several figures are shuttling back and forth, and from time to time there are bursts of laughter, this is a group of teenagers and girls, if you look closely, you will find that the movements of this group of teenagers and girls are basically the same, holding wooden swords, there are comings and goings, learning from each other.

The spring breeze blew gently, making the teenagers and girls practicing swords in the open space feel a little cool.

"You guys really work hard, everyone else is resting, only a few of you are practicing swords here, especially your punishment style, you are practicing swords all the time. In this way, I can strive to officially become a disciple of the Sword Sect next month. And at this moment, a loud voice sounded, and a tall figure appeared in the clearing, looking at the young girl in the clearing with a smile on his face.

Xing Feng is a young man of eleven or twelve years old, with short black and shiny hair, and his facial features are not handsome at this age.

A year ago, he came to the Sword Gate, and because he couldn't condense his spiritual power, he became an apprentice of the Sword Gate, but Xing Feng was not discouraged, and insisted on practicing swordsmanship every day.

When the young men and girls who were practicing swords in the open space heard the sound, they all stopped what they were doing, stood with their swords in their hands, bowed slightly, and said in unison: "Senior brother." Only Xing Feng did not greet Senior Brother like everyone else, but clasped his hands into fists and nodded. The Sword Gate has clear door rules, and if you are not a disciple of the Sword Gate, you can't perform the sword salute, and the punishment style can only be greeted by the usual martial artist.

Senior Brother nodded, glanced at everyone, stayed on Xing Feng, and then said, "This time I came here to tell you that there is a new mission. This mission, you will carry out the task with Xingfeng and him, and divide the task points equally after completion. ”

"Yes. Big brother. Except for Xingfeng, everyone else had a smile on their faces and replied excitedly.

Xing Feng was a little surprised, looked up at the senior brother, and found that the senior brother was also looking at him, as if to say, "Come on." Xing Feng understood very well why Senior Brother let himself go on a mission with others, that is, to make his life a little better, to earn the task points of the sect, which was conducive to exchanging some cultivation items, Xing Feng nodded heavily at Senior Brother, his face was full of determination.

"Well, wait for a few of you to go to the mission hall to choose a task by yourself, I still have something to do here, so I won't accompany you over, but I still need to remind you that this time you will go on a mission with Xingfeng, and try to take into account the existence of Xingfeng when choosing a task. Senior Brother looked at Xing Feng's group of people with an extremely serious face and said.

"Senior brother, rest assured, we won't take on a mission that is too risky. A young girl in the group of Xingfeng came to the front of the senior brother and said seriously.

"Good. The elder brother glanced at the girl in front of him, and then turned his head and walked away.

After Senior Brother left, Xing Feng said with great seriousness on his face: "Senior Sister Qinyan, Senior Sister Lu Xi, Senior Brother Taikang, Senior Brother Zhan Wuheng, thank you. After speaking, he hugged his fists at the four senior brothers and sisters in front of him and nodded.

"Senior Brother Xingfeng, don't say that, we are all disciples of the Sword Sect, and we must help each other. Lu Xi said with a smile on his face.

"Well, Senior Sister Lu Xi is right, don't have any burden in your heart, although you haven't officially entered the Sword Gate yet, but in the hearts of the four of us, you are already a member of the Sword Gate, and we also recognize you very much. Taikang continued with Lu Xi's words, for fear that Xing Feng would think wildly.

"Senior Brother Xingfeng, when you go out on a mission, I will cover you. Qin Yan said a little domineeringly.

When Xing Feng heard this, a warm current flowed through his heart, although Zhan Wuheng did not speak, but Xing Feng knew his character, and if he didn't agree, he would definitely not be silent.

Soon Xing Feng and his party came to the mission hall, the mission hall was full of people, extremely lively, all kinds of one-star disciples and two-star disciples were discussing what tasks to take in groups of three or five, and some even drank wine, which made them feel extremely comfortable.

In the Qingtian Continent, the martial arts cultivation realm is divided into five realms, the Exploration Realm, the Condensation Pulse Realm, the Condensation Spirit Realm, the Psychic Realm, and the Earth Xuan Realm. And each major realm is divided into three large and small realms: primary, intermediate, and high-level, and the one-star disciples of the Sword Gate correspond to the initial realm of the Pioneer Realm, the two-star disciples correspond to the high-level realm of the Pioneer Realm, and the three-star disciples correspond to the initial realm of the Condensation Realm.

"Senior Brother Xingfeng, you go over and see what the task is, you make a decision, I will wait for you outside with them. Zhan Wuheng didn't like such a lively occasion, so he spoke.

Xing Feng looked back at the four of Qin Yan, and found that there was no objection, so he entered the mission hall alone.

"Senior Sister Qinyan, you said that Senior Brother Xingfeng would take on a task for a few stars. Lu Xi looked at Qin Yan with a smile and asked.

Qin Yan is not surprised, since Qin Yan has been getting along for more than a year, he also understands Qin Yan's character, so he said: "Except for me as a three-star disciple of the five of us, the three of you are all one-star disciples, and Xing Feng is not even a one-star mission, so I estimate that Xing Feng should take on a two-star mission." ”

"According to the normal situation, three-star missions require three three-star disciples to dare to take on the task, and the one-star mission is too simple for you, and the task points are too few, and the two-star mission can just meet the needs of the five of us, so I feel that Senior Sister Xingfeng should be able to take on the two-star mission. ”

As soon as Qin Yan's words fell, he saw Xingfeng coming out of the mission hall, and Lu Xi saw Xingfeng coming out, so he quickly walked towards Xingfeng and asked eagerly: "Senior Brother Xingfeng, I don't know how many stars you have received the task." ”

"Two-star mission. Xing Feng said expressionlessly.

"Wow, Senior Sister Qinyan is really amazing, just now she said that Senior Brother Xingfeng will take over the task of the second star. When Lu Xi heard this, he said excitedly.

Rao is Xing Feng's character, they are all a little impressed by Lu Xi, this ordinary people can guess, as for being so excited? Others don't know and think that they have done something big, and then Xing Feng found that Lu Xi looked at Qin Yan with adoring eyes, and his heart was suddenly speechless.

"Let's find a place, and I'll tell you in detail about the requirements of the mission, and by the way, discuss how to complete the mission. Xing Feng said to the four of them.

The four of them nodded, and then followed Xingfeng.

Xingfeng didn't have a moment of leisure along the way, Lu Xi kept asking questions, as if he didn't know anything in this world, although Xingfeng was a little helpless, but he still patiently explained to Lu Xi, provoking Zhan Wuheng and Taikang to look at him with an extremely strange look.

Xing Feng and a few people walked for about ten minutes before they came to sit in a pavilion, and Xing Feng took the lead in speaking: "This two-star mission is a bit unique, you need to take action to exterminate a group of bandits, this group of bandits has more than a dozen people, except for the leader of the bandits who is a high-level realm of the Pioneer Realm, everyone else is basically a beginner realm of the Pioneer Realm. ”

Qin Yan asked, "Senior Brother Xingfeng, since you have taken on this task, you should have a plan, you can tell us all." ”

Xing Feng paused and continued: "My plan is that the leader will be handed over to Senior Sister Qinyan, and with Senior Sister Qinyan's strength, she should be able to kill the other party if she fights alone. And a few of us are responsible for containing the others, and when Senior Sister Qinyan kills the bandit leader, she will come to help us. ”

As soon as Xingfeng's words fell, Lu Xi exclaimed on the side: "Ah, Senior Brother Xingfeng, you said that our mission this time is to kill people?"

The battle is unstable, Taikang didn't speak, and the expression on his face was not so natural, for them, it was unbelievable for them to kill people at this age. On the other hand, Qin Yan's face was impermanent, as if Xing Feng was narrating a very small matter.

Xing Feng was silent for a while, and then spoke: "Martial arts cultivation is not cultivation for the sake of killing, but some martial artists cultivate for the purpose of killing people and plundering wealth, so no one dares to say that they have never killed anyone on the way to cultivation. ”

"A few years ago, when I saw with my own eyes what those bandits were doing, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil, I changed my mind at that time, and I didn't do it for no reason, but those bandits who committed such a terrible death, what is wrong with me killing them. ”

"If they still had a little conscience, they would never do these things, but how could they ever ask those ordinary people who died tragically at their hands, even children. ”

"Did they feel guilty and guilty at that time? So the bandits we want to exterminate this time are also deliberately chosen by me, maybe you can't accept it, but this world is very cruel, if you want to really grow, you can't always grow under the protection of the Sword Gate, maybe one day the Sword Gate needs your protection?"

Xing Feng's words made Zhan Wuheng and the three of them fall into a short silence, and at this time, Qin Yan also said: "What Senior Brother Xing Feng said is very good, I used to be like you now, and I felt that I couldn't accept it, but when you Qin Yan saw what those bandits did, you would all feel that if you don't kill these people, you will be in vain." ”

Qin Yan then turned his head to look at Xingfeng, and said secretly in his heart: "This Xingfeng junior disciple has not yet become a martial artist, he can say these words, once he becomes a martial artist, the future is limitless." ”

Xing Feng actually chose the character this time, and he also had a selfish intention, which was the most painful pain he had since he was a child. At this time, Xing Feng's eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and he secretly said in his heart: "Wait for me." ”

That pain also made Xing Feng determined to become stronger since he was a child, because only by becoming stronger can he protect the people around him, his own sect, and his lover.
