Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

The scattered star rafts drifted away from the Azure City Immortal Ship.

Warships are already standing in the universe, waiting.

The incident involving the Cangcheng Immortal Ship was sudden, and the various immortal ships were traveling on different routes, making it impossible for them to provide timely assistance.

Only warships patrolling the stars can provide nearby assistance.

In the end, they could only bring back a few hundred people.

The Cangcheng Immortal Ship was swallowed whole by the [Devouring Rahu].

The burning stars are abhorrent and terrifying, yet people can only watch helplessly.

The survivors inside the warship huddled together and wept; even strangers were now their last family.

These hundreds of Cangcheng people are the last remaining members of the Cangcheng Immortal Ship...

The generals and guards of the immortal ship had long since collapsed on this living planet.

Inside the room where we were resting.

The boy and girl nestled together.

Cheng Xiao was the first to break the awkward silence:

"My name is Cheng Xiao, Cheng as in riding the wind back home, and Xiao as in carefree and unrestrained."

The girl pursed her lips and said:

"I...I am called Jingliu...Jing as in mirror, Liu as in flowing."

Cheng Xiao smiled and nodded. "It's a very nice name."

"..."

"Your name is Kagami-ryu?!"

"Hmm... what's wrong?"

Cheng Xiao was a little confused, but looking at the girl's white hair and her beautiful face.

A shocking conclusion came to mind.

[I saved someone and got a gold item?!]

Cheng Xiao was overjoyed. Wouldn't that mean that as long as Jing Liu learned swordsmanship, she would become a swordswoman who could cut through the heavens and the earth?

Wouldn't that mean he could now curry favor with someone powerful?

Where's that woman in military uniform? Come quick! This is your destined disciple!

Before the two could finish telling their stories, the door was opened.

He was a Cloud Cavalry soldier.

"Children, it's time to eat. I don't know if you still have an appetite, but food is very important!"

Yunqi's tone was very gentle, without the slightest impatience.

These are children who have lost their parents and elders. They must have gone through the most terrible hell to survive!

Their entire lives may be tormented by childhood memories.

Thinking of this, Yunqi gripped his battle sword tightly.

Cheng Xiao was in much better condition; he was just a little tired.

Once you relax after being under intense mental stress, drowsiness will follow.

"Kyoryu, go eat, I'm going to take a nap."

Jingliu was somewhat flustered:

"No! I'll go eat first! Are you alright? Should we see a doctor?"

At that moment, the woman in military uniform also appeared in front of the door.

Yunqi bowed and then left.

The woman walked closer and touched Cheng Xiao's forehead.

"It's alright, he's just overworked and will recover with rest."

"But you, little girl, why don't you go and bring him some food? That way he can replenish his energy after he wakes up."

Jingliu shook his head, staring at Chengxiao's face, waiting for him to wake up.

The woman in military uniform looked helpless.

Such stubbornness and perseverance are commendable.

But this kid is probably... well, let the young people worry about their own affairs.

About two hours later, Cheng Xiao slowly woke up.

When I opened my eyes, what I saw was Jingliu's pretty face.

"?"

"You're awake!"

Jingliu hurriedly asked Chengxiao if he was unwell.

"It's nothing... Didn't you go to eat?"

Jingliu shook his head:

"I don't want to go alone..."

Cheng Xiao rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

Another voice came from the side:

"But you're awake? You were sleeping soundly! The others aren't sleepy at all."

A woman in military uniform was sitting at a table with steaming dishes on it.

"This little girl insisted on waiting for you, so I brought it along. Eat quickly."

Cheng Xiao didn't stand on ceremony and got up to go to the dining table.

The woman in military uniform smiled.

"Excellent! I knew I hadn't misjudged you!"

"Knowing what's important, understanding needs, and possessing the excellent mindset of being able to take things on and let them go!"

"They're just children, yet they can endure pain that feels like the deepest hell!"

The woman in military uniform kept praising him, and Cheng Xiao simply said thank you before calling Jing Liu to come eat.

Jingliu is very well-behaved, even when eating, he is very reserved.

She just didn't want to eat meat.

Or rather, after seeing that bloody, grindstone-like scene, she probably wouldn't want to eat meat for a while.

The woman in military uniform looked at Cheng Xiao and smiled with satisfaction once again.

"I've praised you like this, aren't you happy?"

Cheng Xiao asked in confusion, "I said thank you, didn't I?"

"Hahaha! Thank you! Okay! What a great thank you!"

"Do you know how many people crave my approval?"

"have no idea."

The woman in military uniform paused, then shook her head in realization:

"I forgot to introduce myself."

"I am Yao Feng, the contemporary swordsman of Luofu."

"Young man, I'll ask you one more time, are you willing to become my apprentice?"

Cheng Xiao almost spat out the food in his mouth.

You claim to be the current top swordsman?!

Recalling the woman's strength and skill with the sword, could she be the master of the Mirror School?

Cheng Xiao pulled Jing Liu to his side.

"Her name is Jingliu! Believe me! She's exceptionally talented! She'll definitely be able to carry on your swordsmanship!"

Jingliu was a little confused. How did this suddenly turn into a conversation with her?

Yao Feng, on the other hand, stood with his arms crossed, looking like he was watching a good show.

"This woman is indeed very determined, but in terms of character, talent, and so on, she's far inferior to you!"

"As for your extraordinary talent, I haven't seen any."

Jingliu herself was also puzzled. She had never used a sword before and was just a daughter from an ordinary family. Why did Chengxiao say that she had talent?

However, Cheng Xiao said very firmly:

"Wrong! Don't be fooled by appearances!"

"You've never even seen her wield a sword, how can you know her talent! I assure you! The Mirror School's swordsmanship talent is unparalleled, unprecedented and unmatched!"

Cheng Xiao spoke with great confidence, and he added again:

"I dare say that within three hundred years, she will be able to dethrone you as the Sword Master!"

Yao Feng burst out laughing:

"Hahahaha, no way, kid? You think you can surpass me in three hundred years? Hahahaha!"

Yao Feng grabbed Jing Liu's wrist, which made Jing Liu feel uncomfortable.

"A bone age of ten? You're just a greenhorn, a little girl who can't even handle death. I'd like to see where your confidence comes from!"

Then Yao Feng touched Cheng Xiao's wrist:

"Bone age twelve! Truly a young genius! You two, come with me to the training ground!"

Cheng Xiao naturally wouldn't refuse Yao Feng's request.

Learning swordsmanship was a destiny for the Mirror School.

If Jingliu hadn't learned swordsmanship, the world would have lost a peerless expert.

Of course, Cheng Xiao wouldn't be able to latch onto any powerful figures anymore.

Having eaten and drunk his fill, Jingliu was somewhat nervous:

"Can I ride the Xiao...?"

Cheng Xiao gave a thumbs up:

"Don't worry! You can do it! I believe in you! You're a Mirror Style expert!"

Cheng Xiao's words of comfort were very simple, but they had a remarkable effect on Jing Liu.

If Cheng Xiao says it's possible, then I definitely can!

Cheng Xiao wants me to learn swordsmanship, so I will learn swordsmanship!

Jingliu knew that Chengxiao was very powerful; even the Luofu Swordsman would praise him to the skies.

But, as young children themselves, Cheng Xiao might one day go to war and fight. Could she only watch him shed his blood from behind?!

No! She wanted to keep up with Cheng Xiao's pace; if not to walk shoulder to shoulder with him, she wanted to at least catch up with his back.

She also wanted to protect Cheng Xiao!

Instead of drifting further and further away from him...

Therefore, she wants power!

Only in this way can she no longer feel powerless.

Only in this way can she personally eliminate all the evil creatures of the gluttonous beast!
