The Young Swordsman

Orphan Xiao Ce is taken in by Uncle Xuanzhen of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect and lives in seclusion by the Autumn Wind Cliff pond, practicing hard with horse stance and cultivating his mind through nature, carrying the ancient sword Xuanxiao. His fellow disciples mock him for being mediocre and lazy, unaware that he has already developed profound inner energy and a pure sword heart. The leader of the neighboring Qingyun Sect, Chen Feng, harbors ambitious schemes to seize a martial arts treasure, secretly plotting against the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect and even ambushing Xiao Ce's master Xuanzhen. When disaster strikes the sect, the young man no longer hides. Xiao Ce descends the mountain with the Xuanxiao sword, breaking schemes, eliminating minions, investigating conspiracies, and thwarting Chen Feng's plots. In the final confrontation between good and evil, he uses his sword to shatter Chen Feng's ambition for dominance and protect his sect. — Description from novelcodex.org
