Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 548 - Extraordinarily Good Luck

Chapter 548 Extraordinarily Good Luck

“You’re awake!” This time, it was Saber Master’s voice. “You have been sleeping for a long time. Have you already reached the mysterious ruins? Hey, your strength has improved a lot. Eh, why do I feel a very familiar aura from you…”
“Ha, two predecessors, you’re awake now, that’s great. I was very worried about you this time. Are you… all right?” Ding Hao was happy from the bottom of his heart, as if his long-lost family had finally reunited.
“You do have a conscience.” Sword Master laughed heartily. “Don’t worry. Both I and the crazy lady are very good.”
“Phew, we finally completed the task. The 24 Moves of Swordsmanship and 24 Moves of the Saber Technique in Heaven Sabre – Peerless Sword Tower are really interesting. It took us a long time to complete them.” Obviously, Saber Master was in a good mood. She added, “Of course, the main reason why we spent such a long time was that Sword Master was too lame. In fact, I had already understood the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique…”
Sword Master said, “Crazy lady, don’t you have a sense of shame anymore? It was you who forced me to comprehend the Way of Saber and Sword together and combine them into one…”
Saber Master said, “He… That’s why I said you were too stupid. You didn’t have a good understanding of the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique, so I had to explain it to you over and over again.”
Sword Master said, “I also explained the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship to you crazy lady over and over again.”
The two old monsters quarreled again in Ding Hao’s head.
Ding Hao listened with a smile and did not interrupt.
After such a long time, when he heard the voices of two old monsters again—even if the quarrels had made him dizzy in the past, he had a sense of cordial feeling thanks to them. Ding Hao asked once the two stopped arguing, “By the way, predecessors, why did you combine the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique and the 24 Moves of Swordsmanship to integrate them into one?”
“Brat, don’t call me predecessor. I’m only hundreds of thousands of years old, I’m not old at all,” Saber Master complained and then said, “These two combating skills which synthesize the saber techniques and sword techniques all around the world are a great supplement to you on the Sword-Saber Supreme Emperor’s Way. However, Sword Master and I found that these two skills are somewhat contradictory to each other. So we perceived them in advance, least you take a wrong path. And when we impart them to you, we’ll have a thorough mastery of them!”
“Well, indeed, these two sets of fighting skills were created by two different people, so they are not harmonious. Besides, there must be some grievances between the two people at that time. The artistic conception of the fighting skills are a little contrary to each other. If you want to integrate them by yourself, I’m afraid that it will take a lot of time and it will be easy for you to go astray…” Sword Master added.
After hearing this, Ding Hao was grateful.
“Although the two old monsters have mysterious backgrounds and have always been secretive, they are really good to me without asking for anything in return. After such a long time of getting along, they are like family members to me,” Ding Hao thought. For him, they were like his grandparents.
“Thank you, Sword grandpa and Saber grandma!” Ding Hao expressed his gratitude from the bottom of his heart and changed the way he addressed them.
“F*ck, what’s with this grandpa thing?” Sword Master was speechless. “Boy, don’t be so sentimental. You’re better off calling me predecessor.”
Saber Master also reacted emotionally. She said, “Brat, I am still very young. Remember, call me Saber Sister in the future. Don’t call me grandma, understand?”
Ding Hao: “…”
“All right, just pretend that I didn’t say anything.”
After jesting, Ding Hao’s mood was much better.
The return of the two old monsters made Ding Hao feel that there was a bright future ahead of him, and he temporarily forgot his worries about Li Lan.
Ding Hao was about to ask Saber Master and Sword Master about the origin of this mysterious site. What Sword Master said before seemed to show that he was very familiar with the ruins of the city. But at this moment, Song Que, who was next to him, suddenly exclaimed. He pointed to the Gods’ Herbs Garden in front of him and said in surprise, “Hey? What’s going on? Is someone inside?”
Ding Hao looked at the direction he was pointing and was also a little surprised.
Through the transparent shield, it could be seen that in a lush forest, a fat figure was sneaking toward the edge, wearing a skirt made of leaves and a straw hat…
“What’s going on? Is it the spirit of a Magical Grass?”
Everyone guessed in their minds.
According to legend, supreme-level magical herbs, after countless years of absorbing the essence of the sun and moon, as well as the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth, could transform into human beings with wisdom. They could even become unparalleled experts.
The figure in front of him seemed to be just a boy about 15 or 16 years old. He was white and clean and he was covered by leaves. Since he was hiding in the pile of magic herbs, his face could not be seen clearly. However, the smell of green glass was all over his body, which meant that he had to be a spirit of magical grass!
“I saw this magical herb first. It belongs to me!” The fat man called Song Que shouted.
“He, so what? It doesn’t matter whether you can see it from a distance. It belongs to whoever catches it!” The Demon Royal of the Ancient Demon Clan of Silver Moon sneered.
Everyone had coveting thoughts.
A magical herb that already transformed into human shape was definitely comparable to any divine treasure. After taking it, it was not impossible to even become a saint. It could make a dying ordinary person become a peerless master, and make an animal have wisdom and evolve into a demon expert with noble blood.
“Everyone, keep your voice down. The herb spirit has intelligence. Don’t scare it away. It wouldn’t be easy to find it if it hides!” Bai Quanshui warned in a low voice.
Everyone became quiet.
But there was a completely unexpected change in the next moment.
The figure hidden in the magical grass suddenly jumped out from behind and rushed madly in the direction of the crowd outside the transparent shield.
“Hey? Such a passionate magical herb spirit? Isn’t it said that they are all shy?” Song Que was stunned and then laughed. “Haha, I understand. Look at this kid. He’s good shaped and muscular like me. He must have seen me and deem me as his own first. Haha, stop thinking about it. I’m going to be his owner!”
Everyone pursed their lips in disdain.
This fat man was as fat as a pig, and he even dared to say that he was good shaped.
However, the spirit really ran toward him as if he were responding to the fat man.
It looked very excited, and it was still mumbling in some mysterious language of the Spiritual Medicine. It ran wildly as if it had seen its relatives.
“Haha, baby, we look so much like each other. Come here quickly, come to my bowl…” Fatty Song was so happy that he took out a bowl-shaped utensil and laughed out loud. He beamed from ear to ear and was very eager.
Everyone was confused.
“Is the spirit really going to acknowledge this fat man, who is similar in size to it as its master?”
“It should not have been the case. According to the records, it is said that the spirits would normally be afraid of humans. They would immediately hide in any chance encounter. Only those peerless experts with incredibly good luck would have the favor of this kind of rare treasure who would recognize them as their masters and accompany them for the rest of their lives.”
“The supreme experts of the Land of Infinity might have been accompanied by the spirit. However, Song Que, the fat man, was not the strongest among us despite his terrifying strength. Why did this precious spirit run towards him?”
Ding Hao was also a little confused.
“Well, the figure of this spirit seems to be a little familiar…” Ding Hao suddenly noticed something.
Ding Hao suddenly felt that this figure seemed to be familiar.
“Could it be…”
A name occurred to Ding Hao, and he could not believe it.
In the next moment, a heartbreaking wail proved Ding Hao’s guess.
“Senior Brother Ding, you’re finally here… Hurry up, get me out of this damn place. I haven’t eaten braised drumsticks for almost half a year…” The “Magical Spirit” rushed to the transparent shield and burst into tears while lying on it. His cry was so miserable and his expression was so sad that even stone would sympathize with him.
The smile on Song Que’s face was frozen.
It was only then that the others finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that the “Magical Spirit” was not coming for him, but for Ding Hao, who was next to Song Que.
“But why did it call ‘Ding Hao’ as ‘Senior Brother Ding’?
“Why can Ding Hao meet his Senior Brother or Junior Brother everywhere? What kind of people are they, coming from the same sect? Why are they so weird?”
Ding Hao couldn’t believe what he saw. He cried out involuntarily, “Ren Xiaoyao… Junior Brother Ren? Is it really… it’s you? How is this possible? How did you get here?”
Ding Hao had never expected that he would meet this little fat boy under such circumstances.
When Ding Hao entered the Sage Battlefield, he gave him a silver ring which had telepathy, but later it had no reaction. Presumably, the sensing ability between the rings was blocked by this strange transparent shield.
“Boohoo, Senior Brother Ding… Please find a way to get me out. I want to eat drumsticks, chicken wings, pork shanks, braised pork…” Ren Xiaoyao cried aloud as if he had seen his parent. He cried so hard that he couldn’t finish his words. His chubby little face was covered with tears.
Ding Hao was sure by then that the crying little fat man was indeed Ren Xiaoyao.
“How did you get here?” Ding Hao asked with a wry smile.
The others were also very curious.
With eleven stone tablets, they had gone through countless dangers to barely make it. They all had wounds. It was certain that no one else had come in before them, but where did this little fat guy come from? All the top experts walked the fastest, and they went deep into the mysterious ruins. It was impossible for this little fat guy to catch up.
The only explanation was that the little fat guy had really been there for a long time.
