Chapter 1148 - Sword of Tomorrow (1/2)

Zhou Wen frowned slightly. The Guardian was clearly targeting them, and it was highly likely that he was here for Ming Xiu.

Zhou Wen had been missing for many years and had just returned inland. Not many people knew him. Even if his enemies recognized him, they shouldn’t have taken action so quickly. At the very least, they would investigate his current situation.

​

The Guardian didn’t deliberately hide his aura. As he approached, Ming Xiu also sensed his arrival.

The Guardian stopped in front of the lounge door. Although the door was closed, it didn’t affect his vision at all. He looked at Ming Xiu through the door and said, “Swordsman Tomorrow, I’ve heard so much about you. Do you dare accept my challenge?”

With the Guardian’s arrival, many students also discovered him. They whispered in the distance but didn’t dare approach. Clearly, they knew the Guardian.

“I wouldn’t dare,” Ming Xiu said with a smile.

“Tomorrow and Wind Trace are known as the two peerless masters of swords and sabers. No one can surpass them with swords and sabers. I also use swords and believe that my sword arts are alright. If I can’t win in ten strikes, it will be considered my loss,” the Guardian continued.

“You’ve already won.” Ming Xiu was no longer the competitive youth from before. He spoke casually without any signs of being moved.

“I never expected the famous Swordsman Tomorrow to be a coward. You don’t even have the courage to accept a challenge. From the looks of it, the so-called invincible Tomorrow Sword Art is just an exaggeration that serves as self-consolation for humans. A sword art created by humans ultimately can’t live up to the required standards,” the Guardian continued goading.

This time, Ming Xiu didn’t back down. He didn’t care about his reputation, but there were some things he absolutely couldn’t allow others to taint.

“Coach, please wait a moment. I’ll be back soon,” Ming Xiu said to Zhou Wen before getting up to open the door.

The students watching from afar became excited when they saw Ming Xiu come out.

The Guardian’s name was Judge, and the person he contracted was Buzz. He was a very famous Guardian of the Cape family and was also a member of the League of Guardians. Although he hadn’t advanced to the Terror grade, he had already gained some fame in the Federation with the ability, Sword of Judgment.

Ming Xiu had once killed a branch leader of the League of Guardians and destroyed a plan hatched in the East District by the league. That Guardian was also a member of the Cape family.

Although there were rumors in the outside world that Ming Xiu had once killed a Terror-grade dimensional creature, no one had seen it with their own eyes. The League of Guardians had also analyzed Ming Xiu, believing that he was still at the Mythical stage and hadn’t advanced to the Terror grade. The rumors of him killing a Terror creature previously weren’t credible.

When Buzz saw Ming Xiu come out, his eyes lit up.

If he could defeat Ming Xiu, not only would he be able to avenge the Cape family, but his name would also resound across the Federation.

This was because in the battle when Zhou Wen was conferred the title of sovereign, humans were totally against Guardians. Even if they could accept a half-human like Ya, even if they were willing to treat the mutated humans who used the Mythical Serum as a part of humanity, they were unwilling to accept pure humans who contracted Guardians.

This made humans very resistant towards the League of Guardians. It also infuriated the humans who had contracted Guardians.

They had clearly obtained powerful strength, but they were unable to obtain the recognition of their fellow species.

For a human like Ming Xiu who used Mythical Serum, the fame and anticipation he obtained were things that a contractor like Buzz couldn’t enjoy.

Even within the Cape family, these youths from the Royal Academy were more willing to worship Ming Xiu than Buzz and his Guardian.

Furthermore, people would only mention Judge when talking about him. Ordinary people couldn’t even remember Buzz’s name.
