Chapter 2383 - Mad Sword (2/2)

The other princes and princesses thought so, too. After all, the translucent trail couldn’t be ascended through pure speed. It wasn’t strange to think that Han Sen had only just arrived.

Bai Ling Shuang was sweating, but when she saw the five words inscribed in the knoll, she suddenly felt wide awake. A rush of joy poured through her.

She didn’t possess the Kingese Ao or Gu, so making her way up the translucent trail would have been too difficult for her. Bai Qing Xia had the word Ao, though, so it was much easier for him to reach the top. Physical strength didn’t matter much in this contest.

“Is this the Proud Bone Swordmind from Mad Sword?” Bai Ling Shuang looked at the five words, “Pride and bones are made.” She looked so happy as she mumbled to herself.

Han Sen was confused. He had never heard of a king called Mad Sword. There were some God Swords and even Holy Swords, but a title like Mad Sword didn’t seem worthy of a king.

Bai Qing Xia picked up where Bai Ling Shuang had left off. “Mad Sword was born crippled. He didn’t have a king body, and so he was bullied severely. But in the end, he used his sword to become deified. He might not have had a king body, but he prevailed over many in the Extreme King. Even deified elites with powerful king bodies lost to his sword. He wasn’t a ruler of our people, but he could be considered a king without a crown amongst the Extreme King. Our race has had many swordsmen in its time, but none are as worthy of respect as Mad Sword.”

Han Sen receded into thought. “I didn’t know the Extreme King had someone that strong amongst them. How come I have never heard of it until now?”

Bai Qing Xia had only just finished when a princess, who wasn’t too far away, looked over at him with disdain. “Mad Sword’s power matters little. No glorification can rinse away the dirt. He is not worthy of admiration.”

Bai Qing Xia and Bai Ling Shuang frowned at the princess. After seeing their faces, she turned away. They avoided all contact with her.

Han Sen wasn’t interested in that princess, either. He wanted to know Mad Sword’s story. Clearly, Mad Sword must have been very different from the majority of the Extreme King. Even his title sounded rather taboo amongst them.

If Han Sen had actually been Bai Yi, he would have known about Mad Sword. He wasn’t Bai Yi, though, and so he couldn’t simply ask.

While they were talking, someone else approached. It was Bai Wei. She was dripping with sweat after finally reaching the top. Her body was shivering, and she could barely stand. She was obviously fighting to hold herself together.

Although Han Sen had sent power to guide her, she was too weak. Even if she knew the way, reaching the peak as a Duke was monumentally difficult.

Many of the royal children looked stunned when they saw Bai Wei at the top. In the long history of the Extreme King, only a few Dukes had ever made it this far.

Bai Wei looked at the princes and princesses. She wanted to know who left behind the power that guided her up, but she was unable to learn anything. No one there was using that power.

When she looked at Han Sen, though, her mood turned to foul anger. She snarled slightly as she stared at him.

She was still bitter about Bai Yi’s consumption of Han Sen. She didn’t think that power belonged to him.

Bai Wei looked around, but she still couldn’t tell which of them had left the power for her. She was really grateful, though. And she went to the knoll to have a look at the five words inscribed there.

Bai Ling Shuang and the others were all in similar shape. Hiking was a test. Mad Sword’s Proud Bone Swordmind was very beneficial. Even if they weren’t fans of the man himself, they still slavered over his swordmind.

Han Sen found a seat. He wanted to watch the swordmind from the most comfortable position, but there was little for him to do other than that.

It wasn’t that Han Sen lacked talent or hadn’t practiced enough; the swordmind simply conflicted with Han Sen’s own swordmind. The two were polar opposites. There was nothing similar or compatible between them. The stronger Han Sen’s will was, the harder it would be for him to understand the Proud Bone Swordmind.
