Chapter 10 (2/2)

“They must have been nearby just now.”

“It’s a pity that we didn’t see them in time. What a waste! It would be a great honor for us to befriend such a powerful martial artist.”

“Perhaps they didn’t want us to know about their identity? But at least they’re not our enemy. Otherwise, no one in Jianghai city would be able to stop them.”

The two sighed. After recuperating for a while, they immediately left that place. There were still many star beasts that they needed to deal with.

As for the corpse in the crevice, the two did not deal with it. Ye Xiao’s slash had already shattered its star core. There was not even the slightest bit of it left. It was practically worthless.

Just as the two of them left, a black figure arrived out of the blue. They stared at the corpse in the crevice and frowned.

“To think that Jianghai city was hiding such a powerful martial artist. Looks like it will still take some time for us to execute our seamless plan in this city.”

After saying that, they turned around and left.

…

At that point, Ye Xiao had already returned to his dormitory.

He did not want others to discover his identity.

If he was brought to light he would be made into a celebrity一not even having the slightest bit of privacy.

That was the least of his worries. His strength would provoke powerful star beasts that would seek to challenge him if he were famous. Although that would be pretty cool.

How could he go back to being a little administrator who reads books and eats dry rice every day?

The night usually passed very quickly, but that night he was exceptionally restless.

On the streets of Jianghai city, the guards were nervously dealing with the remaining star beasts.

Meanwhile, the netizens were quarreling on forums.

“A mutated grandmaster star beast was suppressing the two famous grandmasters of Jianghai city! A mysterious martial artist made a single move, and one leaf was enough to settle the battle!”

…

“What is the purpose of that mysterious saber master reappearing in Jianghai city?”

…

“The identity of the mysterious grandmaster has been revealed. A glimpse of the genius in Jianghai city from 40 years ago, who had the chance to become a great grandmaster within 40 years!”

…

Almost every post was hyped up to four million views or more.

One had to know that the population of the entire Jianghai city was only eight million!

In one night, everyone’s interest was piqued by the mysterious martial artist.

In the early morning, when Ye Xiao woke up, his colleagues’ group chat was still sharing hot posts and news.

Ye Xiao looked at the group chat as he got up and put on his clothes. There was not the slightest care in his eyes. Instead, he was thinking about something else.

“My cultivation is only at Xiantian first grade. I can barely be considered a grandmaster. I’m still two grades away from being a great grandmaster. However, everyone thinks that I already am a great grandmaster. Could it be that the attack power of my saber has already reached the Xiantian fourth grade?”

It was impossible to change one’s cultivation. The only possible reason for his immense strength was the saber technique itself.

The stronger the grade of the cultivation technique, the stronger the attack would be. It might even exceed the current rank he was in.

In other words, the Overpowering Saber had already exceeded the limits of a grandmaster-rank cultivation technique.

‘I didn’t expect a cultivation technique formed from seven basic saber techniques would exceed the grandmaster rank. If it were a stronger cultivation technique, I don’t know what grade it would exceed. I also don’t know what grade the divine soul’s Golden Book is!’

However, that made Ye Xiao feel more at ease.

That was because the stronger he was, the safer he would be.

After getting dressed properly, Ye Xiao first went to the cafeteria to eat breakfast. He had just clocked in and had not had the time to go upstairs when the director held another morning meeting.

Despite fighting with star beasts for an entire night without sleeping, the director’s complexion was still rosy, and there was not the slightest hint of fatigue.

A Xiantian realm martial artist had indeed surpassed the normal limits of ordinary humans.

“Today’s morning meeting is mainly about what had occurred last night..”
