Chapter 44: A Challenge from the North

A ruined bamboo forest, a mountain top, a waterfall, and the howling of thunder and wind are active. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Light String and Kenan are in the usual sparring after the morning practice.

"Light string, you seem to be very weak without the blessing of demonic power?" Kenan said, twirling a Razer coiled shuriken.

"No, it's just your own delusion." Light String licked his lips and retorted unconvinced.

But what Kenan said is indeed not wrong, since Akali and Kenan severely injured the demon god of the two months of Longtail, it has become extremely difficult to practice with Kenan again, and it is not uncommon for him to faint by lightning.

But it was much more comfortable than the first few matchups before, and he gradually found some of Kenan's habits and weaknesses.

As long as he successfully dodges Kenan's impact close to the speed of light more than three times, he can directly use the Wind Resisting Sword Technique to attack Kenan, because at that time, his speed is not as sharp as the previous times, and his reaction will be sluggish.

Light Strings jokingly refers to Kennan's weakness as "a dwarf who is fooled by himself".

"Well, you can only be stubborn with your mouth......" Kennan sighed, mocking.

But now he doesn't seem to have much to do about holding a light string called the long-tail knife, because the beautiful Taidao that looks like the ornament worn by some corrupt government officials is unusually sharp, and the sharp blade can almost be blessed with the wind to split the flying Chidori shuriken in half, and it is a little difficult to get close to him.

"I said, you can't defeat me without using the Ten Thousand Thunder Heavenly Prison Guide." Light String was a little proud, and it was unpleasant to be treated as a rookie for the past few months, and it was a pleasure to be able to make Kenan suffer a little now.

"Forget it, don't you think you don't grow enough bamboo?" Kenan shook his head, his eyes looking over there......

A mountain of bamboo seedlings......

…………

"Kennan?" Light String stopped his shovel and looked at Kenan, who was planting bamboo, and shouted.

"Hmm." Kennan held the bamboo seedlings in place with both hands.

"I'm leaving." Light String said.

“…… Well, it's time to leave, your goal has been achieved, and no matter how much you stay, you will only be invited out by the master. Kenan nodded, as if he had known it for a long time.

“…… I thought you'd keep me. Light String pouted, a little unhappy.

"Can't stay, can't stay, there is a violation of the balance, most of your hidden dangers in the contract have subsided, and in a few days, the black cherry blossom pattern on your right wrist will only become a beautiful tattoo." Kennan didn't stop his "work" and said as he stuck a bamboo stick.

This "job" is a part of the "balanced cultivation" given to them by the two people who "accidentally injured" a large area of bamboo forest during a sparring battle, and Light String thinks that to put it bluntly, you just broke it and worked for me.

But after the reputation of the Equilibrium Sect, Kennan accepted it.

However, he does have a responsibility for this, so he can only find time to plant bamboo, fill in the soil, and clean up the stones that have piled up under the waterfall in each sparring practice.

"But you have to understand something." Kennan suddenly spoke to the light strings.

"Understand what?" Light String was slightly stunned.

"You won't be able to leave the Sect of Equilibrium until you've restored this place." Kennan said.

“…… I know, I know. Light String sighed and nodded.

…………

In the Temple of Balance.

"Master Kushuo, thanks to such a long period of care, now that Light String has calmed down the demonic energy in his body, Light String will be preparing to leave the Equilibrium Sect in the next few days." Light String saluted bitterly and said gratefully.

Ku Shuo looked at the light string and bowed slightly, and said slowly: "The wind and demon qi in your body are not as sharp as before, or it is sharp, or it is prominent, you can now keep the two forces in a delicate balance." After a pause, he looked up at the equilibrium disc at the top of the hall and said, "You seem to have found the balance between strength and body."

"This is still the help of the bitter master, otherwise the light string would have been devoured by the demonic power in his body and turned into a walking corpse." Light String thanked him gratefully.

"You don't need to thank me, all of this is the certainty of the way of equilibrium, if you really have this kind of gratitude, then please contribute more to the balance of this world." Ku said that he waved his hand slowly, and his face was always unwavering.

It seems that Kushu didn't ask for anything, huh?

Although Light String slightly despised some of the things that the old man in front of him had done, he still had to admire it.

Whether it is really for the sake of equilibrium or for some other purpose, the opportunity to continue one's life is always a bitter one.

"Before you leave, though, there's a trial to take." Ku said that he stood up from his seat, put his hands behind his back, and walked forward slowly.

"Trials?" Light String asked.

"You are not the only one who will be tested in this trial, but the rest of the ninjas will be walking with you."

"Of course, it's not impossible to refuse if you want to, but I would advise you that this trial is one of the challenges that can strengthen your strength and balance your mind at the moment." Ku said walked up to the light string and patted his dark purple ninja suit gently, his tone a little tentative.

"The challenge of strengthening...... Is it? Light String muttered, just paying attention to the sentence.

After all, strength is what he needs the most at the moment, even if he once praised him for being among the strong Ionians, but he himself understands that if he barely enters the lowest category, and it will be the bottom of the lowest category.

Because in Ionia, geniuses and freaks coexist.

"This is a challenge from the North, a hundred-year-old demon of the Northern Counties, the Scarlet Ghost-faced Spider." Said bitterly.

Northern Counties - Ghost-faced Spider ......

Light String remembered that a few days ago, Akali had said that the demonic energy in his body belonged to the ghost-faced spider of the northern counties, but he himself was puzzled.

The demonic aura is obviously emitted by the contract of the two months of long tails, and it should have nothing to do with the Ghost Face Spider Northern Counties and the like.

But Akali was adamant, and she was acting strangely at the time.

Putting down his thoughts, Light String's refusal that was about to say half of his words was stopped, and Light String quickly changed his words: "Thank you Master Kushuo, I think this trial has a special relationship with me."

Sure enough, the meaning of "it will help you improve your strength" in Kushuo's mouth is this, the two kinds of demonic qi are the same, there must be something strange in this.

Does the two-month long tail have anything to do with the ghost-faced spider?

Or this time...... Can you completely wipe out the possibility of the existence of the two-month long tail?

Ku said that Gujing Wubo nodded......
