Chapter 65: Summoned by the Da Yuan King
Translator: _Dark_Angel_ Editor: Kurisu
Guo Ding Quan and the Jin brothers felt gloomy to the extreme.
For Guo Ding Quan, Master beating up his disciple was the same as a father beating his son–a law of nature, so how could he even think of avenging himself? If he did, that would fall into the crime of ingrat.i.tude and cheating his own Master, and wherever he fled to, he’d be pointed out by every man!
Meanwhile, the Jin brothers knew that the old man that had thrashed them was the one who excelled in sword arts and alchemy, a person who possessed extremely high status. Even when the Da Yuan King met him, he’d still treat the latter with utmost courtesy and politeness, so even if the older generations of the Jin Clan found out about this matter, they would still definitely not seek vengeance for them.
Which means that they had suffered this thras.h.i.+ng for absolutely no reason.
Ling Han!
The three of them gritted their teeth in fury. The chief culprit behind all this was Ling Han, and he had become the object of their utmost hatred.
“Young Friend Ling, are you all right?” Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan had raced over, anxious expressions on their faces.
“I’m fine!” Ling Han shook his head with a smile.
‘Of course he’s fine,’ everyone else thought. He played a trick on both the Jin brothers and Duanmu Chang Feng, and now even Duanmu Chang Feng was listening to his every command, how could he possibly not be fine?
However, when they saw the two alchemists arrive and present an overwhelmingly polite demeanor towards Ling Han, they could not control their lips from twitching, and everyone was becoming even more curious about Ling Han’s actual ident.i.ty.
Who was this guy?
The heartbeat of the Fourth Prince had quickened as he decided to spare no effort to pull Ling Han into his own support camp. If he managed to obtain the support of three alchemists through Ling Han, then what else did he have to fear from a mere Liu Clan? The position of the Da Yuan King would definitely fall to him! [1]
Ling Han did not intend to stay any longer in this place, and so turned around to depart. Duanmu Chang Feng, uncaring of his own face, followed behind him to Heaven’s Medicine Pavilion. He still had to ask Ling Han for the verbal chants and ill.u.s.trations for the last two moves of the Sweeping Cloud Sword Arts.
Regarding this matter, Zhu He Xin and Zhang Wei Shan were both very shocked. They had never thought that Ling Han not only had a terrifying level of achievements in terms of alchemy, but possessed extraordinary understanding even in the field of martial arts, so much that he could even guide Duanmu Chang Feng, who has been praised as “one who excelled in both sword arts and alchemy”.
Ling Han did not go back on his word. Upon their return, he taught the missing eighth move of Sweeping Cloud Sword Arts to Duanmu Chang Feng.
As for the ninth move?
He would of course not immediately teach him that last move to avoid Duanmu Chang Feng abandoning his benefactor after reaching his goal. At the very least, he would wait until he himself had broken through to the Gus.h.i.+ng Spring Tier. By that time, there would be no harm to teach him the ninth move. Anyways, this was just a Black Grade medium level martial arts technique, and for Ling Han, it was completely unimportant.
Duanmu Chang Feng apparently understood this as well, as he excused himself shortly after obtaining the verbal chant and ill.u.s.tration for the eighth move. Whether he managed to get the ninth move or not would depend on his future performance.
When he returned to his room, Ling Han very quickly fell asleep, and Ling Dong Xing had completely no idea how big a commotion his son had created that night. None of those who had the qualifications to be invited to the Fourth Prince’s banquet were mouthy idiots, so the news about Ling Han had only spread around in a very small circle.
Early morning the next day, a servant from the Royal House of the Da Yuan King arrived at Heaven’s Medicine Pavilion, saying that the Da Yuan King had invited Ling Han over for a meeting.
The Da Yuan King wanted to see him?
Ling Han did not have Liu Yu Tong follow him; he alone went with that servant to the Royal House of the Da Yuan King. Very soon, when they arrived at the study, he saw this local overlord.
The Da Yuan King was already sixty years old, but because he had a high cultivation level, he did not look old at all. On the other hand, his figure was tall and st.u.r.dy, and his whole body exuded a very powerful aura, displaying the atmosphere of a ruler.
The sixth layer of Spiritual Ocean Tier.
Ling Han only took one glance, and there was no way for this man to conceal his cultivation level in front of his eyes. On the path of martial arts, every fourth and seventh layer was a different threshold. This Da Yuan King should have been stuck on this layer for a very long time.
