A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 2283 - 1541: Sword Saint

The life or death of Wushuang City is not something Duanmu Huai cares about. What irks him is that even while trying to hitch a ride, someone still comes to pick a fight...... So, Duanmu Huai simply leaves Wushuang City, continuing his aimless wandering.

Meanwhile, practicing martial arts.

Every night, he uses every trick he knows to take care of the three people, making them obedient, but some people are just this way; even when they don’t have the strength to resist, their mouths remain stubborn.

For instance, Wan Wan, Wan Wan, and Wan Wan.

"Sir, after the matters in East State are settled, where will you go? Will you return to the heavens?"

Wan Wan lies on Duanmu Huai’s chest, tracing her fingers back and forth on his body while asking.

"Pretty much, vacation’s over, it’s time to head back."

Duanmu Huai can feel that the divine power of the Destructive Star God has mostly fused with him, and even though it isn’t fully integrated, even if other Star Gods join forces against him, it wouldn’t be an issue for Duanmu Huai.

"Will you take us with you, then?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan and Little Dragon Girl, who were sprawling like mud on either side, perked their ears up curiously, looking at Duanmu Huai.

"You want to go too? That’s a dangerous place, honestly, compared to the wars up there, these conflicts on the ground are just child’s play."

Duanmu Huai doesn’t mind, just chuckles lightly as he speaks.

Actually, Duanmu Huai really doesn’t mind taking them along. Martial artists are capable of both offense and defense, unlike mages or warriors, which are more clearly defined. In terms of occupations in the Faelun World, the three of them are closer to Magic Warriors, knowledgeable in some magic and martial arts alike.

In fact, Jianghu people from the Martial Arts world would do well in a magic world like Faelun.

Because they possess Qinggong and inner strength, things that defy convention.

The warriors in Faelun World might be tough and strong, but most of the time they are not very fast. Unless a mage casts a spell to speed them up or one belongs to a race with extraordinary abilities, like Elves, most of the time, Faelun’s martial artists aren’t particularly fast.

At least they can’t move as swiftly as martial heroes in the Jianghu, leaping across rooftops and walls.

Considering the level of Little Dragon Girl and Wan Wan, even if they hadn’t met Duanmu Huai, with their own abilities, wandering into a magic world like Faelun, unless facing an Archmage or Legendary Mage, killing them wouldn’t be easy. For Jianghu people, fleeing when losing is almost instinctive.

Of course, it’s not that Faelun’s warriors don’t run; they just have shorter legs and can’t run as fast.

Moreover, since martial artists have inner strength, they possess both speed and strength, combined with an endless variety of combat techniques. Against the warriors of Faelun World, they’re practically unchallengeable. And if they possess sufficiently strong martial arts, they might even break a mage’s defenses.

Some martial arts from the East State world aren’t much different from magic, actually.

"That’s what makes it interesting, right? Wan Wan once wished to break free from the Holy Sect’s restraints, to freely do what she wanted and go wherever she desired. Now that such an opportunity arises, how could Wan Wan let it go? Besides, going to the heavens should be most people’s dream, right?"

Wan Wan says with a giggle, a swift flicker of complex emotions passing through her expression, as she recalls what Zhu Yuyan said before Duanmu Huai left Luoyang.

"Just as you said, the Holy Sect’s fate has run its course, but this isn’t necessarily bad. As you said, our Holy Sect has walked a skewed path for too long, no longer acceptable in the eyes of the world. In such circumstances, reviving the sect’s ideals is impossible. But you are different; the Undying Slaughter God has chosen you, and this is your opportunity. Grasp it and leave the sect. Remember, this is not the end; I want you to see more, hear more, think more. Stay by the Undying Slaughter God’s side, see the world beyond, then consider how to achieve the sect’s ideals......"

And now, Wan Wan is doing just that.

"Martial artists do not fear danger, nor do they fear death."

Little Dragon Girl says softly with closed eyes.

"Upon hearing the sir say that there are endless demons in the world beyond, harming the innocent, I also wish to meet them with my sword, to see who among us is stronger."

"Ah......"

Compared to Wan Wan and Little Dragon Girl, Wang Yuyan merely sighs.

"Wherever the sir goes, I go."

Wang Yuyan now has a feeling akin to following along with Duanmu Huai; after all, Murong Fu is done for, returning to Manduo Manor seems pointless, might as well stick with Duanmu Huai till the end.

Actually, unlike Wan Wan’s excitement or Little Dragon Girl’s desire to roam the Jianghu with her sword, Wang Yuyan hopes to find a quiet place to live peacefully.

Unfortunately, it seems impossible now.

Hearing the sir talk about the world beyond, filled with demons living on killing and eating people, she wonders if she can really handle it......

While Little Dragon Girl thinks of going head-to-head with them, Wang Yuyan is considering how to survive.

This is perhaps a difference in personality.

"Alright, then you all can come with me, and we can mutually learn from each other."

Actually, Duanmu Huai is quite interested in taking them back, as the martial arts training methods from the Martial World are very useful, especially the practice of inner strength. If used well, it can even significantly increase combat effectiveness. Wang Yuyan is skilled in all martial arts, Little Dragon Girl and Wan Wan are exceptional talents; having the three of them train the Tribunal’s believers, teaching them to use inner strength, is also a way to enhance the Tribunal’s combat strength.
