Supreme Emperor of Swords

Ding Hao suddenly realized that Wang Juefeng was not practicing swordsmanship by waving his heavy sword just then; he relied on a lot of exercise to catalyze the efficacy in the body to accelerate blood circulation to achieve the best therapeutic effect.

After a while, the Cynical Man wrapped the bandage around his body again. And it made himself look like a new mummy. Then he approached Ding Hao, looked at him carefully for a moment and nodded with satisfaction.

“Bad boy, I see that your will is condensed, your Qi was reversed to enter your body, your aura is calm, and your breath is slow and long. You seem to have reached the Great Master Realm, right?”

Ding Hao answered honestly, “The Six-apertures Martial Mentor Realm and the Half-Step Sword Intent.”

Hearing Ding Hao’s last words, the Cynical Man, who was previously grinning, suddenly felt stunned as if he had been struck by thunder. He screamed after a while, “What did you say? What did you say? The Half-Step Sword Intent? You have comprehended the Half-Step Sword Intent？Boy, you didn’t boast much before. Have you become this boastful after practicing martial arts for half a year under the mountain? Boy, it’s not good. To be a man, you should be honest. I know that you have a strong pressure, but it is not good to be overambitious.”

Ding Hao opened his hand and the rusted sword appeared in it. He struck with his sword in the air, and then a dreamlike red light trail showed up in the void, which was breathtaking!

The Cynical Man suddenly stopped his nagging.

“F*ck you…” the Cynical Man widened his eyes. “You have really mastered the sword intent? How… did you do it?”

Ding Hao was about to tell him.

“Forget it. Forget it. Don’t tell me and just keep it to yourself,” the Cynical Man waved his hand. He said with an excited smile, “Haha. Great. It is great. These days, I have been thinking hard how to help you to overcome this obstacle. Unexpectedly…”

What he said was his true feeling.

Ding Hao was moved. Since Ding Hao had joined the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, the Cynical Man had been taking care of him; he was regarded as an extremely respectful elder, deep in Ding Hao’s heart. He behaved in a vicious and unrestrained way, but he had always been paving the way for Ding Hao’s development.

“What has the teacher-in-charge learned from the combat with Mu Tianyang?” Ding Hao shifted the topic.

The Cynical Man sat down while grinning. He said, extending two fingers, “You are the second person to ask me this question.”

“Oh, who was the first one?” Ding Hao asked casually.

“None other than your little pretty mistress,” the Cynical Man smiled. He seemed to need a spanking and his eyes were full of teasing.

“F*ck.”

“Which mistress of mine… ah, no, I have no mistress at all.”

He frowned tightly.

“Haha, you deny it. She is one of two superiors among the new group of bloodline disciples in the Sect. She is Xie Jieyu with the phoenix bloodline. Yum. Yum. Yum. I have never expected that regardless of your serious look, you were in fact a coquettish fellow. Unfortunately, all female disciples in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect have almost been seduced by you!”

There was only one word in the Cynical Man’s flickering eyes—Gossip.

“He is really disrespectful of his old age.”

Ding Hao was speechless.

“However, I have to admit that you have great charm. Even Xie Jieyu, the beauty of heaven, is willing to take a risk for you to challenge ‘Child Prodigy’ Mu Tianyang,” the Cynical Man showed an envious, jealous and hate-filled expression.

Ding Hao was shocked. “What did you say? Did Jieyu challenge Mu Tianyang? Why did she do that?”

Hearing such words, the Cynical Man looked at Ding Hao as if looking at a fool. He said disdainfully, “Of course, she went to test the ‘Child Prodigy’ Mu Tianyang’s real strength for you. Over the past year, Mu Tianyang has become the brightest genius in Snow Province. No rival can take his three movements. Nobody knows his real strength. It is hard to tell whether various legends about him are true or not. No one knows what realm he has reached. For you, it is extremely dangerous to fight with such a rival whose real strength you have no idea about. But if someone can tell Mu Tianyang’s real strength, fighting style and various trump cards by testing, such information will be a magic weapon to save your life.”

Ding Hao suddenly understood.

However, he immediately showed an anxious look, saying, “Mu Tianyang is already a strong man above the congenital realm. He holds sway over the young generation in the Snow Province, and he has no rivals, so Jieyu may face a great danger… ”

The Cynical Man showed a strange look.

Ding Hao did not know why.

The Cynical Man sighed lightly and said with indignation, “From the beginning, I also thought that this girl was absolutely mad. She would be courting death if she were to challenge Mu Tianyang, so I strongly discouraged her. After all she is your mistress. However, unexpectedly…”

“What was unexpected?” Ding Hao asked impatiently.

The cynical man pointed to the wall of the stone house in the distance.

Ding Hao looked at it suspiciously, and found a slender palm print on the blue jade wall.

“Is there any mystery in that palm print?”

Ding Hao walked to the wall and took a closer look. He found that the print was embossed three inches deep in the stone, and there were no crackles around the print. The print was like the most perfect carving and every palm print could be seen clearly. It showed how precisely the person who made the print was able to control his magic power.

Furthermore, the print was magnificent, so that people could imagine that the print-maker’s palms were quite delicate and soft.

“Of course, a print can’t tell a thing.”

With Ding Hao’s strength, he could also make a print with the same effect.

What shocked Ding Hao was that the palm print contained a vague flame power. With Ding Hao’s strength at present, he could perceive any Qi fluctuation within one hundred meters instantly. However, without the Cynical Man’s reminder, he might not have perceived the remaining flame power in such a palm print.

It only showed that the person who made the print had strength far above Ding Hao’s.

Standing in the corner quietly for a while, Ding Hao said slowly, “The print-maker’s strength should be above the great grand-master… is she a…?”

“Yes.” The Cynical Man nodded with a complicated expression. “She is your little mistress. She pressed the print lightly with a smile. The little girl has stirred up the phoenix bloodline in her body; her strength has reached the Three-apertures Great Grand-master Realm.”

“Three-apertures Great Grand-master?”

Ding Hao suddenly felt stunned.

“Ding Hao was a Six-apertures Great Martial Mentor. Above the Great Martial Mentor Realm was the Primordial Grandmaster Realm. As one broke through the Primordial Grandmaster Realm, one could reach the Great Grandmaster Realm. After Xie Jieyu stirred up her bloodline power, she leaped forward four great realms: the Martial Soldier Realm, the Martial Mentor Realm, the Great Martial Mentor Realm and the Primordial Grandmaster… is this why the bloodline power is horrifying?
