1374 The Trial is Over (1/2)

When Wu Hao saw Sword11 standing before him in person in Heavenly Sword Palace, he was so excited that he was virtually speechless.

One had to be aware that he grew up listening to legends about Sword11.

Naturally, as a young man who yearned to cultivate Sword Dao, he found it hard to remain calm when he saw Sword11, the ”number one Sword Dao cultivator” of the Great Heaven Territory, alive and well and standing before him.

”Lord Swordmaster, this young man...” Sword11 was a little puzzled when he saw that Lin Huang had brought along the youth from the video call just now.

”Wu Hao, my apprentice,” Lin Huang introduced Wu Hao with a grin.

”App...Apprentice?!” Sword11 was stunned for a moment when he heard that. He had not expected that his swordmaster would have found an apprentice just by walking around town.

”Xiao Hao, say hello.” Lin Huang patted Wu Hao's shoulder.

”Sword...Lord Sword11...” Wu Hao's face turned slightly red and he did not dare to look at Sword11 directly.

”I remember you; you're the teenager in the video just now. Your name is Wu Hao?” Although Sword11 had many doubts, he still took the initiative to smile and greet Wu Hao.

Wu Hao nodded quickly.

”All thanks to you. If you hadn't appeared on the video call with him earlier, he might not necessarily have been willing to become my apprentice,” Lin Huang laughed.

”Lord Swordmaster praises me too much.”

Only now did Wu Hao notice how Sword11 addressed Lin Huang and a faint trace of uncertainty arose in his heart. He stole a glance at Lin Huang and directed a question at Sword11.

”Lord Sword11, are you and my master really fellow disciples?”

Sword11 looked at Lin Huang after hearing that.

”You can tell him the truth.” Lin Huang nodded.

Only then did Sword11 nod and explain the situation to Wu Hao.

”Lord Swordmaster and I are not fellow disciples—I am Lord Swordmaster's Sword Servant...”

Even though he had not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, Wu Hao still understood what ”Sword Servant” meant. Despite experiencing a sense of unreality after hearing Sword11 admit that he was merely a Sword Servant, he could also see that Sword11's respect for his master was no pretense.

”Then my master really is very powerful?” Wu Hao thought for a moment and asked again.

”He succeeded in obtaining the inheritance of swordmaster Great Heaven and has taken his position as the new swordmaster. At the very least, in terms of Sword Dao, he is unparalleled.”

”How about compared to you?” Wu Hao quickly followed up.

”If we were at the same level, I certainly would not be any sort of opponent for Lord Swordmaster.” Sword11 knew how difficult the final Trial assessment was. Even though he had not fought Lin Huang, he could roughly estimate what Lin Huang's abilities were like.

After hearing this personal evaluation from Sword11, Wu Hao finally looked at Lin Huang with the beginnings of hero-worship in his eyes.

”Now will you believe me?” Lin Huang asked, slightly disgruntled.

”Yes, I do believe you now. I know master's Sword Dao is unparalleled!” Wu Hao quickly laughed apologetically, held up his fists, and started pummelling Lin Huang's back diligently by way of massage.

”You little devil, in future put these thoughts of yours into your cultivation—that would be better than anything.” Lin Huang shook his head helplessly.

Disregarding Wu Hao's diligence, Lin Huang started chatting with Sword11 again.

”Tomorrow is the last day of the Great Heaven Trial. It's not safe for me to bring this young devil with me, so I'm going to leave him with you first to supervise his cultivation. I'll come back to the Great Heaven Territory for him in half a year at the earliest; if I'm slow it will be around two to three years.”

”Master, are you leaving?” Wu Hao asked hurriedly.

”I still have some matters to deal with in the great world and my home, the gravel world.” Lin Huang glanced behind at Wu Hao. ”I'll sort out what I want to teach you and pass it to Sword11 in the next two days. When the time comes, he will help me to teach you.”

When he had finished speaking, Lin Huang looked at Sword11 again.

”Wu Hao's situation is rather unique. His constitution doesn't allow him to cultivate directly, so he can only take the path of Sword Dao Divinity...”

”Sword Dao Divinity?!” Sword11 stared at Lin Huang with wide eyes, as if he wanted to confirm whether or not Lin Huang was pulling his leg.
