Chapter 196 - 168.1 : Cold Sword (1/2)
Having nothing special to do until the opening of the Ancestral Tomb, Arthur simply went downstairs to a eat. He could pass all his time cultivating but he wasn't that dedicated to cultivating. In the first place, he only yearned for absolute power to be able to protect his family and friends but even with such a cheat Race, he is alone right now with his wife and daughter in another plane and the Human Emperor, who could be considered his friend, is not dead.
The inn he was staying in wasn't famous yet despite that fact, the restaurant was still bustling with people, mostly humans.
Without minding them a glance, Arthur picked a random empty table and sat, he ordered a few dishes and simply sat there waiting.
”Hey, have you heard about who's coming? It's freaking Kai Min is personally coming this time!”
A person from a group of young men exclaimed as they debating about something in a table near Arthur. One of the young men near the one who just spoke innocently spoke with confusion
”Senior brother, w-who's Kai Min?”
His face was flushed red as everybody started laughing at him. One burly man next to him slammed his back roughly as he roared with laughed and said
”Hahahahaha this is why young ones should venture into the world more often! As for Kai Min... he's the young genius of the Water Cloud Sect. It is rumored that he reached the Immortal Realm at the age of twenty! This is an amazing feat!”
As the burly man proudly announced, a girl sitting at the same table at him snorted and retorted
”Bah! Kai Min is nothing compared to Shu Ru! A devilish prodigy across all eons! Hmpf, Kai Min is only trash compared to her!”
When this name was mentioned, the burly man stopped laughing and scratched his bald head with an embarrassed expression but he didn't continue boasting because what the young girl said was indeed true.
The young man who was embarrassed earlier sat there with a dazed expression, although he didn't know Kai Min, he certainly knew Shu Ru as her name resounded in every corner of this world!
The young man hesitated for a second before asking again
”W-will Shu Ru come?”
The rest stared at him for a few seconds before they burst out laughing again, the burly man even had tears in his eyes.
”Hahahahha, junior brother your ambitions sure are high! Not to mention you, even Kai Min is barely qualified to speak with her, as for us commoners, we can only watch from a distance and appreciate her sight! Hahahaha!”
The young man's face became redder, he dropped his head and didn't dare utter another single word.
A lot of similar topics were heard by Arthur in the restaurant. He savored the delicious dishes as he listened here and there but he wasn't that much interested. Genius young humans or whatnot, this doesn't concern him, neither does the tomb, his goal is the Spatial Master and it wouldn't be easy either. Such a master would be guarded and even if he wasn't, his power would certainly not be weak, adding to the fact that he is a God, his Spatial Control would be troublesome to deal with and even the special talismans of Zodiak may not be helpful in such situations.
