He calmly got up and nodded with satisfaction.

“Haha, I finally broke it through again. Since Shenmen Aperture has been got through and I’ve entered five-apertured Martial Disciple Realm sword technique, such strength should be regarded as second to none among the nominal disciples. Haha, even if I challenge Li Muyun, Liang Feixue, and others again, I will never be as embarrassed as I was last time!”

In fact, the cultivation speed of “Saintly Being of Saber and Sword” should have been much faster than it was now.

It was that at this time Ding Hao deliberately suppressed the speed of his cultivation.

He knew very well that although the pressure of the three-year promise was enormous, to consolidate a solid foundation of Martial Arts and to promote the realm were equally important. It was impossible for him to go too fast so as to have a Qigong Deviation. Therefore, every time he entered into a new realm, Ding Hao would take a little time to carefully consolidate and explore to ensure that every small realm was completely completed and then continued to go for the next realm.

His such a cautious attitude had also been endorsed by Saber Master and Sword Master.

He kept forging ahead on the road of Martial Arts and was also determined to be thoroughly tempered.

If he tended to go too fast, he was likely to go astray. Only by solidifying his foundation could he develop more sturdily and determinedly.

Even so, Ding Hao spent a month to turn from an ordinary person to a practitioner in five-apertured Martial Disciple Realm. Such progress was absolutely amazing.

After his cultivation was completed, Ding Hao moved his body and began to practice “Dragon King’s Water-Splitting Style”, “Ice and Fire Nine Turns Golden Body” and “Smoke Billow Blurry Technique”. When he opened the door and came to the small courtyard, it was actually already night with the moon hanging on and all the room lit.

Zhang Fan and Wang Xiaoqi did not come back, and no one knew where they were.

In the yard, Ding Hao practiced the skills of flying knife for a while with the moonlight. Somehow, his thoughts suddenly flew back to a few days ago, about the encountering with those lineage warriors in the seventh rank.

Those guys were the mysterious top 20 disciples in the total ranking!

Although Ding Hao was very disappointed with the morality of those lineage warriors, it didn’t mean that Ding Hao really treated these guys with disdain.

The advantage of the lineage warriors lied in their blood of antiquity times. Only by inspiring this lineage would they master the great power that ordinary people couldn’t master through cultivation.

This was a gift endowed by heaven.

Faced with rivals in the same realm and even one or two high levels, the lineage warrior could go upstream and had the ability to bypass ranks.

Obviously, until now, the blood of Yuan Tiangang and others had not been really stimulated.

So Ding Hao was able to forge ahead to fight.

Once the blood of Yuan Tiangang was stimulated and he mastered Heaven Endowed Magic Skill, the outcome of the battle was hard to be determined yet.

If he wanted to crack the Divine Sense of the bloodline warrior, he must find a way to advance through ranks.

Somehow at the thought of this, Ding Hao couldn’t help but think of the strike Yuan Tiangang had performed with his machete.

The machete drew a very strange curve in the air while the movement was so obscure for people to understand. There was even a hint of the knife essence in the legend. If Xie Jieyu didn’t block this saber with her long sword, Ding Hao would probably have to deal with this strike with all his strength.

“Knife essence? Sword intent?”

Ding Hao’s eyes lit up when he realized something.

In terms of martial arts, things like “knife essence” and “sword intent” were not in the category of magic skills, nor could they be understood by instructing of predecessors and learning of secrets as in ordinary moves or cultivation method.

If he wanted to master it, only his fate, opportunity and comprehension would be taken into consideration.

In this world, there were many great grandmasters of the primordial realm in the innate realm, who may not comprehend the meaning of “knife essence” and “sword intent”.

However, there had also been some ordinary young disciples in Martial Disciple Realm or Martial Soldier Realm. They had had a chance to comprehend the ultimate meaning of this kind of saber technique and sword technique.

The most impressive thing about “knife essence” and “sword intent” was not only the endless power when they were performed but also the function of helping people advance through ranks unlimitedly. Its power was not inferior to that of a bloodline.

In this way, one could fight against the bloodline.

Throughout the ages, anyone who had mastered “knife essence” or “sword intent” would finally become a dominator in his land, and he was always a world-famous peerless genius.

“I want to master the ‘sword intent’ and ‘sword essence’, and I will live up to being ‘Saintly Being of Saber and Sword’. After three years of the battle on Frozen Peak, the chance of defeating Mu Tianyang would be much higher!”

Ding Hao clenched his hands.

“Kid, that’s a good idea. You now only have martial arts, inscriptions, and elixir to use at the same time so as to catch up with Mu Tianyang in a short time. However, I don’t mean to put you down. “Sword essence” and “knife essence” are not that easy to understand—it just happens.”

Sword Master sensed Ding Hao’s thoughts and said in her mind.

“Yes, Sword Master is right. Little Chap Ding, ‘sword intent’ and ‘knife essence’ are nothing to be understood through words. Even if we both saw someone who used these two kinds of unique skills, they could not pass it on to you. So far, there is no cultivation technique of the two unique skills in the world. It’s only a coincidence that many geniuses who have mastered them. They accidentally mastered them in the process of cultivation, and each has its own fate. There is no law to follow!”

Saber Master could not help but remind Ding Hao.

Ding Hao nodded, “I know it. But in general, I still have to give it a try. Otherwise, you also said that Mu Tianyang may be a bloodline warrior. The advantage of my ‘Saintly Being of Saber and Sword’ lies in cultivation, but my cultivation time is shorter than that of him. If I want to increase the odds of success, I have to find another way.”

“Well, you got guts. Since Little Chap Ding said that, we support you.” Saber Master and Sword Master both discussed it for a while and felt that this was a feasible solution.

“Boy, I really have a memory fragment which once unintentionally recorded an expert who truly mastered ‘Sword Intent’ of the ancient times. Maybe it will help you. Open your heart and get a bit of inspiration.”

As Sword Master said, the willpower surged, transmitting some fragments to Ding Hao’s mind.

Ding Hao suddenly felt dizzy. Then it seemed to be a time-space transformation. He came to a world of nothingness, darkness and void all around. Time and space were meaningless, as he was at the very center of nothingness.

Then there came a vague figure in front of him.

Drawing the sword, moving the sword and putting back the sword.

A series of simple and routine movements.
