Supreme Emperor of Swords

Ding Hao took the dragon-patterned bloody saber out of his Storage Ring, held it in his hand, and collided it with the other saber.

Whoosh!

The dragon-patterned bloody saber quietly broken into two pieces.

“It’s sharp!” Ding Hao couldn’t help but exclaimed, “It’s so sharp without injecting Qi, if I inject Qi into it, it will become invincible. Next time when I encounter ‘One Legged Ox Demon King’, only with one stroke, I can break open his sturdy leather armor.”

Ding Hao put the broken dragon-patterned bloody saber into Storage Ring. The material of the dragon-patterned bloody saber was good, unfortunately, the original blacksmith’s capacity was limited. So, Ding Hao planned to recast it or use these materials to refine other magical weapons.

Having fiddled with the long sabers in the Black Serpent Ring, Ding Hao finally saw two small characters on the back of the saber-Wen Qing.

…

“Is it the name of this saber?” Ding Hao thought for a while and said with a smile, “Well, from now on, I will call it Wen Qing. Wen Qing Saber. Good name.”

Having put “Wen Qing Saber” into his Storage Ring, Ding Hao released Divine Awareness into the Black Serpent Ring and continued to clean up the storage. In addition to black crystal and “Wen Qing Saber”, there were some secret books with various ranks. Among them, there was the “Wen Qing Saber Technique” which attracted Ding Hao’s attention. He took it out and read it carefully.

“Huh? This book is quite interesting.” The silent Saber Master who finally found a chance to show off his ability said hastily, “The Earth Advanced Stage saber technique even has room for improvement. After being improved, its power is comparable to that of the Heavenly Rank saber technique. Little Chap Ding, you need an ordinary saber technique. You can practice it first. This book should be enough for you before you promote to a great grandmaster.”

Ding Hao nodded his head.

It seemed that the master of the Black Serpent Ring was an extremely powerful saber master. He couldn’t have been a common person. Later, he would inquire carefully and see which predecessor of the Human Tribe was famous for the “Wen Qing saber technique”. If there were his descendants living in the world, Ding Hao would take care of them to pay him off.

The warrior’s conscience lies in distinguishing between grievances and kindness.

Ding Hao would not be the ungrateful guy.

Having made up his mind, without any distraction, he soon entered the ethereal state and read the “Wen Qing Saber Technique” carefully. He closed his eyes and tasted it carefully. Then he had a thought. With “Wen Qing Saber” in his hand, he practiced the saber technique in this small room.

With Ding Hao’s progressing savey and realm, he could practice even in a small and shabby room. He did not channel his Qi. With saber lights, he finished performing the “Wen Qing Saber Technique” in a blink of an eye.

“It’s worthy of being an Earth Rank advanced saber technique whose power is several times higher than that of the ‘Gale Lightning Saber’.” Ding Hao thought.

By the time Ding Hao performed this set of saber technique for the second time, he had thoroughly integrated them. The saber lights were stable, calm, fast, divine, and as unfathomable as flowing light. In the end, he was shrouded in the saber light. In the moonlight, he looked like a crystal snowball rolling around. With layers of airwaves spread out, the visible strength Qi swept across the sky like a blade.

“It is already so sharp without channeling Qi. If ‘Heaven Fire Qi’ supplements it, it can be invincible.” Ding Hao thought.

Ding Hao was very satisfied with this set of saber technique.

Later that night, Ding Hao had been trying to fathom this set of saber technique, and then he took out a few Highest Grade black gem from the Black Serpent Ring without hesitation. He channeled his Qi to intake large Qi contained in the gem to make up for the loss of Qi consumed during the Battle of Mirror Lake.

The long night passed quickly with Ding Hao practicing diligently and lonely.

In the following two days, Ding Hao secluded himself for refining and cultivating diligently. He digested eagerly what he learned these days. The battle with these two Demon Kings had especially influenced him a lot. After seeing the fighting methods and combat skills of other young top masters in Snow Province, Ding Hao gained a lot. Furthermore, he needed to slowly apprehend them and integrate them into his fighting style.

Especially he needed to learn from the battle between Mu Tianyang and “Gold Falcon Demon King”. When Mu Tianyang drew his sword, it made the sky sprinkling with stars. Mu Tianyang had extraordinarily refined swordsmanship and unfathomable Qi. Although in a split second, the two superiors moved the battlefield to the sky. Others might not notice it, but Ding Hao observed it very carefully from the beginning to the end.

It was the first time that he had seen Mu Tianyang fight with all his strength.

Ding Hao’s feeling was only in three words—

No match for.

With his current strength, even if he played all his trump cards, he was not Mu Tianyang’s match.

“That’s good. There is still a year left. After a year, in the Frozen Peak, Mu Tianyang, you will know that you have your pride, and I also have my reasons to persist. It’s not known yet who will die.” Ding Hao thought.

…

On the third day, another sensation happened on the shore of Mirror Lake.

“Divine Design Valley” updated the “List of Hidden Genius in Snow Province”.

When this event spread out, many people thought it was a joke, because thought the update of these two lists was not regular, the shortest update interval was longer than half a year since more than 1,000 years before. It never happened that the list was updated again within four days.

And the most surprising thing was that there was only one change in the update “List of Hidden Genius in Snow Province”.

Ding Hao’s rank became higher.

He ranked from the previous thirty-second to the current twenty-eighth.

Except for the ranks of the others changed according to Ding Hao’s rank. There was no other change.

This strange change had made countless people start to discuss and made them very surprised. The authority of these lists of “Divine Design Valley” lay not only in its authenticity but also in its almost true predictability. Generally speaking, the upside potential of these geniuses for nearly a year would be counted in the Hidden Genius List, and there was no mistake.

The last version of the Hidden Genius List was only four days ago. Unexpectedly, it changed again because of Ding Hao.

There were only two possibilities—

The first possibility was that “Divine Design Valley” made a mistake by accident when it was first updated which resulted in the false ranking. So it had to update the list again to change this error. Another possibility was that “Divine Design Valley” did make mistakes from the very beginning. Instead, Ding Hao had progressed so greatly in the past four days which was beyond the prediction mechanism of “Divine Design Valley”.

If it was the latter, then Ding Hao’s potential was too great.
