Song of Adolescence

Chapter 220 The Overlord’s Armor

"Excellent spear technique!" Lei Wujie exclaimed.

"I think I’ve seen that spear technique before." Tang Lian blinked.

"I’ve also seen this spear technique before. I’ve even been on the receiving end. This spear move is called Birds Pay Homage to Phoenix. It’s very powerful," Lei Wujie added.

Xiao Se turned his head and sighed. "I really underestimated you. How did you even escape from the hands of the Confucian Sword Immortal?"

In the middle of their conversation, the long spear actually struck the small boat, and shattered it into splinters!

"We did it!" Mu Chunfeng exclaimed with joy.

Jin Wei Gonggong hovered in the air for a moment before he slowly landed and he stepped steadily onto a wooden plank from the wreckage.

"Is there no end to this?" Lei Wujie groused impatiently.

"Don\'t worry, there’s only a small plank left. No matter how powerful Jin Wei Gonggong is, he won’t be able to catch up with us. Mu-xiongdi, may I trouble you to get your crew to increase our speed."

"Uncle Liang, let the boatmen speed up!" Mu Chunfeng said.

"Yes, sir." The accountant withdrew from the deck.

Sure enough, after that small boat was splintered into pieces by the spear, Jin Wei Gonggong kept his sword and didn’t continue to chase them. He watched the cedar longboat sail further and further away and sighed deeply.

If Xiao Chuhe could really cure the injuries in his latent meridians and return, then the situation within the entire Heavenly Revelations City, no, the entire Beili will change.

Lei Wujie let out a long sigh of relief. "We’re finally rid of him. He won’t be able to catch up with us, will he?"

"Once we get into the open sea, if he wants to take me away, he’ll have to obtain a proper boat at least. No matter how powerful the Eunuch of Sword’s martial arts is, he doesn’t have that kind of ability." Xiao Se said.

While they were talking, the armoured warrior was about to sneak away quietly, but Tang Lian called her out softly, "We’ve all seen it. Why are you still running, Qianluo-shimei?"

The warrior had just raised her leg to step away and she put it down again. Reaching up, she took off the entire helm. A long tail of black hair spilled out, revealing a face as elegant as a painting. She stuck out her tongue and retorted, "You can\'t turn back now. If we turn back, Xiao Se will be snatched away by that eunuch."

Mu Chunfeng handed out the sword in his hand, and immediately an attendant appeared and took over the sword. He asked with surprise, "Do you know each other?"

"We should be the one asking, how do you know each other?" Xiao Se said.

"Actually, we don\'t know each other. We just happened to meet on the road. Miss Qianluo said that she also wanted to sail the seas, so she came along," Mu Chunfeng replied.

Lei Wujie grinned and said, "You thought my Qianluo-shijie was pretty so you decided to bring her along, right."

"No, I merely admired the young lady, who wanted to experience the sea despite her young age. That’s very admirable," Mu Chunfeng explained as he flapped his hand.

"Then let me ask you, if my Qianluo-shijie wasn’t pretty, would you have been willing to bring her along on this long trip?" Lei Wujie asked back.

Mu Chunfeng thought for a while, and said honestly, "Then, I probably wouldn’t. After all, it’s a long trip and one more person is just a little bit more trouble."

Seeing this, Lei Wujie immediately interjected again, "You know, my Qianluo-shijie didn’t come all this way to see the sea, but to see a person."

"Who?" Mu Chunfeng was puzzled.

"Him!" Lei Wujie slapped Xiao Se hard on his back. Xiao Se started coughing violently.

"Lei Wujie, you’re full of nonsense!" Sikong Qianluo, who was still in the armor, kicked a foot out and aimed a punch at him.

"Enough bickering." Tang Lian moved in and stopped in front of Lei Wujie to block Sikong Qianluo\'s fist.

In the end, it was Mu Chunfeng who broke the awkward situation. "The wind on the ship’s bow is cold. Let’s go below deck first?"

Everyone entered the cabin that resembled a study room. Mu Chunfeng continued walking into another cabin further in and not long later, he walked out again in brand-new white clothes. In the battle just now, his sleeves were lightly stained with seawater. Yet, he immediately changed into white clothes as if he had a serious habit of cleanliness.

Lei Wujie used his knuckles to knock on Sikong Qianluo\'s armor and he exclaimed, "Shijie, where did you get this set of armor from? It’s really impressive."

"Now you don’t need to hide yourself any more. The armor isn’t light either. You might as well take it off," Xiao Se said faintly.

Sikong Qianluo pressed lightly onto something on her waist and the back of the armor suddenly opened up. She took a step back and walked out of the armor. She pressed on the waist of the armor again and the back closed up again. The armor didn’t require human support, yet it was able to stand firmly on the spot. From afar, it looked like a real life person. Sikong Qianluo put the helm back into place and said with a laugh, "Now it looks the same."

Xiao Se nodded. "Sure enough, this is the Overlord’s Armor?"

"The Overlord’s Armor!" Lei Wujie exclaimed in shock.

"What is an Overlord’s Armor?" Sikong Qianluo asked.

"You’ve been wearing it for so many days, and you don\'t even know what the Overlord’s Armor is?" Lei Wujie looked contemptuous. Although he hadn\'t seen much of the world himself, he had heard a lot of stories. Legends of the martial world, anecdotes of the world, there wasn’t much he didn’t know. "This Overlord’s Armor was forged by Wu Liujia, the former number one engineer of the martial world. Wu Liujia and my… and the senior that I admire, Li Suwang of Sword Heart Tomb, were of the same level. He specialized in mechanical arts, and devoted himself to research for many years. He used up all of the finest materials in his sect to create this one suit of Overlord’s Armor. The Overlord’s Armor can cover the entire body, is impervious to blades and spears, has no flaws, and is extremely simple to put on. Whether it was a ten-year-old kid or a brawny soldier, it will somehow fit them well. It could be said to be extremely magical."

"He was as famous as Li Suwang? Why haven\'t I heard of him?" Sikong Qianluo frowned.

"That\'s because after constructing this Overlord’s Armor, and because the cost of it was too high, nobody could afford it. So, that Wu Liujia and his sect of engineers… went bankrupt," Lei Wujie said.

Xiao Se looked at Mu Chunfeng. "Your sword was forged by Li Suwang, Moving Mountains. Your armor is the Overlord’s Armor made by Wu Liujia. The Qingzhou Mu family are indeed very rich. Such a valuable Overlord’s Armor and you just lent it to someone to disguise their identity?"

"Wealth is mere worldly possessions." Mu Chunfeng smiled.

"Why do you say that?" Lei Wujie asked.

"Because he’s rich. Wealth is mere worldly possessions is something all rich people say," Xiao Se remarked.

Lei Wujie asked back, "You’re rich too. But, why are you so miserly?"

Xiao Se was not angry, however. "Because I know what it feels like to lose everything."

Mu Chunfeng brewed a pot of tea, and the fragrance of tea filled the cabin. He sat onto a mat and poured a cup of tea each for the four people in front of him. "Come, let\'s sit down and have a chat."

"Chat about what?" Tang Lian asked.

"Let’s have a chat about who you all really are." Mu Chunfeng took a sip of tea.

"We’ve already told you," Tang Lian said.

"One of you is a Tang, one is a Lei, and one is a Sikong, and someone is even a Xiao. These are all famous family names." Mu Chunfeng put down his teacup. "Although my older brothers all say that I’ve read so much that I’ve gone a little stupid, I’m not really that stupid."
