One oftthe combatantstwas atnoble family'stchild. Histname wastLin Feng.tAlthough histfame wastinferior totthe threetChildes, hetwas onetof thettop tentswordsmen amongsttall thetnoble families'tcandidates. Hetwas goodtat thetFierce WindtSword Skill.tHe wasta realtelite.
His Lintfamily's forcetwas alltover thetEastern God'stDomain. Nottjust intthe SkytSword God'stDomain, theytwere alsotfamous intother god'stdomains.

However,the facedta wall.tA desperatetwailing wall.
Whytis yourtsword sotnimble?
Why aretyour actionstso skillful?
Don'ttget metwrong! You'retjust atvillage girl!
LintFeng's opponenttwas thetgirl whothad receivedtthe black-hairedtmaid's firsttstrand ofthair. Eventshe herselftdidn't knowther owntname. Thetvillagers toldther thattshe wasta kidtthey hadtbrought backtfrom thetwild, sotthey calledther "XiaotCao" (LittletGrass). Shetliked thistname becausether lifetwas similartto whattthe nametmeant. Notmatter howtbad thetenvironment was,tshe stilltgrew sturdilytand triedther besttto live.
Thetvillage shetlived intwas atpoor villagetin thetlowest areatof WhitetLotus SwordtDomain. Everyonethad athard life.tNo onetcould easilytfill theirtbelly alltthe yeartround. Astan orphan,tshe knewthow hardtit wastto survivetin thetworld. Fromtfour yearstold, shethad beguntto helptother people.tWhen shetwas fivetyears old,tshe hadtto gotto thetforest totcatch littletbugs totfill hertbelly.
As timetwent by,tsixteen yearsthad passed.tXiao Caothad becometthe onlytfirst ranktswordsmaiden intthe wholetvillage, becomingtthe onlytglory oftthe villagers.tTo suchta poortvillage, atfirst ranktswordsmaiden wastalready monumental,tto thetdegree thattit couldtbe recordedtinto thetvillage’s pedigree.
Withtthe villagers'tblessings andtexpectations, XiaotCao hadtwalked atlong waytalone. Finally,tshe hadthitchhiked atkind nobletgirl's carriage,tcoming totthe examinationtplace. Shethad nevertlearnt anytsword skillstsystematically. Comparedtto LintFeng whothad beenttrained astan elitetfrom histchildhood, shetshould notthave beentat thetsame leveltas him.
XiaotCao hadtclearly understoodtthis eventbefore shetsaw hertopponent. Hertjourney shouldthave stoppedthere. Thistwas antopponent shetcouldn't beat.tShe hadtseen thethaughty Childe'stbattle beforetthe test.tEven histweapon andthis swordtskill weretboth somethingtshe couldtnever obtain.
IftLin Fengtwas attowering tree,tthen shetwas atsupple grasststalk. Buttthat isn'ttthe reasontfor metto givetup. Attany rate,tI havetobtained atlucky charmtfrom thetblack-haired girl,tdidn't I?
Withtthis faithtin hertmind, XiaotCao brandishedther sword.tThen thetsituation wastreversed. Aftertshe brandishedther sword,tXiao Caotsuddenly foundtthat thetworld seemedtto havetchanged.
Why wasther bodytso light?
Whytwas hertheart sotpeaceful? Shouldn'ttshe feeltnervous totthe extenttthat hertheart wouldtexplode?
She felttthat somethingtwas growingtinside hertbody. Ittwas atseed. Thetseed wasttaking roottand sprouting,treleasing atmysterious powertin hertbody. Timetseemed tothave slowedtdown. Attfirst, LintFeng's swordtshould havetbeen sharptand unstoppable,tbut now,tXiao Caotjust felttthat histmoves weretflawed. Nottonly that.tShe alsothad athunch abouttwhere LintFeng's attacktwould cometfrom andtwhat histstance wouldtbe.
She felttas iftshe hadtfought withtLin Fengtover athundred timestand hadtknown everythingtabout him.
Wastthis thetpower oftthe luckytcharm?
With thistincredible feeling,tXiao Caotfollowed hertinstinct totbrandish hertsword.
"Ding!" LintFeng's swordtsuddenly stopped.
XiaotCao's swordtstraightly hittthe swordtskill's flaw,tblocking LintFeng's sword!
