1353 You Are Such a Nice Person (1/2)

Coming out of the Ninth Palace, Lin Huang was in a joyful mood.

It had taken less than half a month for him to successfully elevate his Seraphic Speed divine ability to a Seraphic Speed God Rule. He had not expected this kind of progress.

He originally thought that it would possibly take him at least two or three months to finish it.

Lin Huang also knew that the main reason for his quick breakthrough was the extra effort from Sword9. Sword9 had put a lot of pressure on him for Lin Huang's rapid speed sword skill. Before the breakthrough of his Seraphic Speed divine ability, he had been continuously suppressed by Sword9. It was only through the use of various Seraphic Speed divine ability techniques that Lin Huang had been able to remain undefeated.

Moreover, even after Sword9 had discovered Lin Huang's objective, he had not quit but had continued to play the role of a sparring partner.

That was why when Lin Huang finally left the Ninth Palace, he had thanked Sword9.

Less than half a minute after exiting the Ninth Palace, the God's Servants of the Eighth Palace arrived very quickly.

There were only two God's Servants in this wave. Both were humanoid monsters and female.

Lin Huang originally thought that he would have encountered more and more God's Servants, but after this round, he realized that the number of God's Servants had nothing to do with the palace number—it was related to the personality of the palace guardian.

There were not many God's Servants serving Sword10 because his personality was indolent and he did not really like others to do his work for him, whereas there were ten God's Servants serving Sword9 because he liked the feeling of dominating others from a high position of superiority. The number of God's Servants for Sword8 was even less than that of Sword10— Lin Huang guessed that it was highly probable that Sword8's personality was one that did not really enjoy ordering others around.

Ling Huang despatched the two God's Servants with a single blow. He did not need to wait too long before the Eighth Palace descended.

This palace looked as if it were constructed from bronze. Its style was rather quaint and unadorned; it even looked a bit old.

Lin Huang did not pay too much attention to all of this. After the door opened, he drew himself up and rushed in.

After he stepped across the threshold of the palace door, a big empty hall came into view.

The big hall seemed to be at least thousands of square meters in size and was completely bare of adornment or furnishing.

Lin Huang looked over his surroundings and silently wondered whether or not Sword8 would be an iron-fisted no-nonsense man without a shred of humor.

Very quickly, however, his eyes widened as he noticed a figure that suddenly appeared not too far away.

It was a petite girl who looked to be half a head shorter than his sister Lin Xin. She was also thinner than Lin Xin by quite a bit.

The iron-fisted tyrant of his imagination turned out to be a cute young girl, which left Lin Huang slightly dumbfounded.

”You're...Sword8?”

Even though he knew that there could be no guardian other than Sword8 in this palace, Lin Huang could not help asking all the same.

The petite girl nodded faintly and a blush rapidly spread over her face. Even her breathing rate increased slightly.

'Is she really that shy, or is it just for show?' Lin Huang felt some slight suspicion stirring in his heart.

Although he had met a variety of people in recent years, this was the first time he had seen a young girl as shy as Sword8.

Moreover, among the three hundred over Sword Servants serving under Great Heaven, she was ranked eighth, which was a sufficient indicator that her ability was outstanding even within heavenly god-level ranks. Lin Huang felt that a person as shy as this could not possibly be for real.

As if she sensed the doubt in Lin Huang's tone, the young girl added weakly, ”I... I'm strong...”

”I believe that. After all, you're ranked as Sword8.” Lin Huang nodded with a smile, but could not help asking after that, ”Can I ask what your Sword Dao specialization is?”

”I mainly cultivate ultimate dao-type...” Sword8 had nothing to hide. After all, Lin Huang would find out later on when they fought; there was no need to be secretive. ”I also know a bit of force-type and rapid speed sword skill.”
