Chapter 634 - 623: Yitian and Dragon Slayer—Chengkun

"Just a glance, naturally it’s done."

"..."

Shangguan Jinhong felt as if struck by lightning.

Seeing Ding Ling’s carefree and natural demeanor, he felt as if his spirit had suffered ten thousand points of damage, starting to question his own existence.

Could it be that Shangguan Jinhong was truly just a mediocre talent?!

No, no, no!

Thinking back on his journey, apart from a few whose talents slightly surpassed his, most others were overwhelmed by him.

Shangguan Jinhong calmed down.

It’s not that I’m inadequate.

It’s Ding Ling who defies heaven and is extraordinarily gifted, completely beyond logic!

Who has ever learned and achieved Great Perfection in top martial arts just by a glance?!

This is too outrageous!

"Let’s go."

Ding Ling left directly.

However, the more he appeared so nonchalant as if nothing was surprising, the more Shangguan Jinhong felt awe and reverence, as if gazing at a high mountain, watching a myth, towering in his presence, unable to compare!

Nie Feng watched from the side, clearly seeing through it, smiled slightly, thinking that it’s normal for the Venerable Lord who learns Supreme martial arts like Black Tortoise True Skill and Ten Strong Martial Dao in an instant to not be concerned by the Mother and Child Dragon and Phoenix Rings, though they are extraordinary, can they compare to the Black Tortoise True Skill?

Ding Ling is not unconcerned; he has skin thick as a city wall, reaching a state of unperturbed equanimity in the face of others’ doubts and praise, remaining unmoved like a mountain!

This comes from many experiences.

Evolved!

...

Ding Ling then went to Unrivaled City’s second library and read books for two days.

The books here are mostly geographical, Confucianism, Legalist School, Mo Family School, agricultural studies, Buddhist Scripture, Dao Scripture, and other Secret Manuals collected by Heroes Gathering members from all directions.

Shangguan Jinhong is an ambitious and exceptionally wise person; he collected these books not only to improve his cultivation for a better understanding of this world but also wants to establish a vast library to attract native talents from everywhere for his use.

However, Unrivaled City now belongs to Ding.

The City Lord has changed to Duann Lang.

He naturally has no reason to keep these things hidden.

Under his proactive guidance, Ding Ling entered Unrivaled City’s largest second library.

Two days later.

[Wisdom +0.3]

[Buddha Qi +2 Dao]

[Vast Righteous Qi +1 Dao]

[Martial Arts Melting Furnace Body progress 74%]

Previously, it was 68%.

Jumped 6 points.

One can imagine the vast amounts of books this second library possesses.

Despite Ding Ling’s cultivation reaching Full Level Grandmaster, reading rows and rows of books still required two days and nights.

The number of books here is unimaginable!

Abundant in richness!

Numbering in the tens of thousands!

Even causing a surge in Vast Righteous Qi, increasing by one more Dao.

This additional Dao concealed into his heart, guarding his soul, strengthening Ding Ling’s mental defenses by one degree, feeling increasingly solid and stable.

Without Vast Righteous Qi protection.

With Ding Ling’s root and physique easily invaded by Evil Qi, resisting the corrosion of Mad Blood or the invasion of Demon Qi would be challenging.

Fortunately, the Demon Scripture is now Full Level;

Also having Vast Righteous Qi and Buddha Qi protecting him, Ding Ling’s anxiety towards Demon Qi and Evil Qi is significantly reduced.

...

In Unrivaled City, Ding Ling unexpectedly did not see the Sword Saint.

According to Duann Lang’s words, "After Sword Saint comprehended the true Dugu Yifang being frozen, and later the false Dugu Yifang being killed by Nie Feng, the Unrivaled Yin Sword taken by Nie Feng and sent to World Association, the Young City Lord was seemingly killed by someone else. Knowing his days are numbered, he wished to resolve this grievance, so half a month ago, he proactively sent a challenge to Xiong Ba! Whether the fight is over is unknown now."

Ding Ling listened and frowned internally.

If the Sword Saint is dead.

The Twenty-Third Sword would then be completely out of reach.

He instructed Duann Lang to ascertain the truth.

After some time.

Duann Lang reported that Sword Saint went to World Association but didn’t find Xiong Ba, therefore the Sword Saint is now waiting near World Association for Xiong Ba’s return.

"Oh?"

Ding Ling wondered.

"Xiong Ba must be afraid."

Duann Lang said somewhat disdainfully:

"That old geezer is depraved and cunning. The Alien claimed Sword Saint’s Twenty-Third Sword is so remarkable. I know this, Xiong Ba surely knows too, he would choose to avoid out of fear naturally. Compared to the great force of World Association, how could anything be more important than his own life?"

Ding Ling wasn’t convinced.

As of now, he realized that this world is a combination of comics, movies, and TV dramas in the Wind and Cloud World.

Some parts of the plot resemble TV dramas.

Some are similar to comics and movies.

Add in players randomly entering.

Hence, the storyline falls apart, differing outcomes for many people are normal.

"Take care of Unrivaled City."

Ding Ling stood up, saying:

"I now need to make a trip to World Association."

"Rest assured, Venerable Lord."

Duann Lang assured:

"With me here, I will certainly ensure Unrivaled City thrives and becomes increasingly better."

Ding Ling smiled and said no more. He simply cast a deep glance at the corner where Chengkun was standing.

Chengkun was extremely low-key, and since he proactively relinquished his position, cooperating well with Duann Lang, Ding Ling couldn’t possibly kill him for no reason.

Thus, he glanced once at Chengkun and walked out of the Main Hall, swish! He executed the Wind God Leg, stepping on the whirlwind and rising over ten meters into the air, swishing into the distance swiftly.

Nie Feng closely followed.

The two sped along, rapidly disappearing from sight.

Chengkun’s back was already soaked with a fine sweat, not until Ding Ling left did he exhale deeply, having a premonition that if he dared act rashly, Ding Ling would definitely kill him with overwhelming force!

It’s precisely this impending sense of crisis, continuously urging him to madly cooperate with Duann Lang, not only that but diligently and meticulously accomplishing numerous tasks, perfectly executing them to a faultless degree!

Now that Ding Ling had left.

He began to consider escaping.

Staying in Unrivaled City was a mountainous pressure.

Ding Ling’s absence was alright; Ding Ling’s presence felt as if a Death God constantly watched over him, frightening him immensely!

"Chengkun."

Shangguan Jinhong and Chengkun had collaborated for some time, and after learning from the Alien what Chengkun actually did, he was quite familiar with him, he approached and stared, saying:

"Unrivaled City needs rebuilding, and requires you and me to work together; if you don’t want the Venerable Lord to target you, do your job well!"

"Hehe."

Chengkun nodded with a fake smile:

"It’s necessary, necessary!"

With a gesture towards Ding Ling’s direction:

"Venerable Lord is the Divine Being in my heart; I admire and respect him immensely! It’s an honor to serve him, who would refuse such an opportunity?"

"Excellent that you think so."

Shangguan Jinhong had received several pointers from Ding Ling, gaining some power.

His acknowledgment of Ding Ling increased substantially.

Moreover, he knew that to reach Supreme Martial Dao, one must find a backer; otherwise, reaching the top is challenging.

With Ding Ling’s exceptional talent, he is his chosen patron!
