Celestial Peak

The instantaneous killing intent making the world seems bleak, the bloodl.u.s.t that could dye the word red in a moment"s notice. Those variables appeared too fast for him to make a proper reaction.

And from what he could tell, all of these chilling intents and bloodl.u.s.t came from his grandson who was holding a sword on his neck to ensure he will not escape.

Xiao Jianfa spread his spirit sense in a thousand-kilometer radius to check if something was amiss. He hoped that the bloodl.u.s.t and killing intent did not come from w.a.n.g Ling.

But even after a minute of searching, he came up empty-handed.

Xiao Jianfa raised his hands and admitted his defeat, "It is my lost, now, get those swords of yours away from my neck and heart. "

w.a.n.g Ling kept his swords away. He heaved a sigh of relief and shortly began reeling in his bloodlines and qi. The Shroud of Sanctifying Blaze went out and w.a.n.g Ling was then a.s.sailed with exhaustion.

Although the Shroud of Sanctifying Blaze heals his physical body, the continuous usage of qi still takes a toll on him overtime. w.a.n.g Ling was feeling tired but his mind was rather clear so he wouldn"t be losing unconsciousness any time soon.

He stood tall in front of Xiao Jianfa who had a confused and worried look on his face. w.a.n.g Ling knew what Xiao Jianfa was worried about.

The killing intent and bloodl.u.s.t that escaped him was at first something he did not want to show to any of his family members. Such thick killing intent and bloodl.u.s.t was not something a mere youth with 4 years" worth of experience should possess.

But w.a.n.g Ling had no choice but to make that decision else he would have lost sooner or later. After all, Xia Jianfa did not even use anything that is beyond the capabilities of a Sword Heart level swordsman.

If what Xiao Fei"er said about Xiao Jianfa was real, then w.a.n.g Ling would have lost to him in mere seconds.

[He"s strong, but if I didn"t use such tactics to surprise him and make him act instinctively against someone possessing such density of killing intent and bloodl.u.s.t.

It was rather a cowardly way to win this match, but he was too sure of himself and added that rule. Heh, in the end, pride and arrogance is your downfall.]

w.a.n.g Ling was not looking down upon his grandfather as he commented about his decision to add that rule of him not going above the limitations of a middle-grand saint he just found his actions laughable.

While w.a.n.g Ling was thinking of this matter, w.a.n.g Hong flew from below and came to w.a.n.g Ling"s and Xiao Jianfa"s side. Even after the fight was concluded, he was still at a lost for words.

He moved beside w.a.n.g Ling and asked him with a serious voice, "How did you train to reach such heights, older brother? Even I will be hard press to even last for ten breathes against grandfather, but you actually won against him."

w.a.n.g Ling turned to w.a.n.g Hong after waking up from his daze, he smiled at him and answered, "I train in a way that only works for myself and my bloodline if I tell you how I train, you might copy it which may end resulting badly rather than good."

w.a.n.g Hong shook his head, "I will not copy older brother, I just wish to know how you train."

w.a.n.g Ling sighed as he answered, "I simply make use of the regenerative capabilities of my bloodline and then force my body to repeat the movements I make over and over again. Sometimes I"ll continue doing it for days, sometimes it will last for months with me ending up getting enlightened. But to ensure that my senses are sharp, I go hunt for spirit beasts that have higher cultivation than mine. That way, I will be able to incorporate what I learn in my training in actual combat."

w.a.n.g Hong nodded his head as he listened to w.a.n.g Ling pull some bulls.h.i.+ts out of his a.s.s. But his words do ring true with bits of his previous training springing up here and there.

In the end, he said something serious to w.a.n.g Hong, "You are a genius w.a.n.g Hong, and the Spear of War that I gave you will help you elevate your skills to the next level. If you are to train on it properly, you will reach the level-4 mastery of the spear before you reach Celestial Phase. Just train hard and keep looking at the top, grab every opportunity that may arise."

w.a.n.g Hong nodded his head as he kept w.a.n.g Ling"s words to heart. Though he might not be able to use his way of training, the words that had been given by w.a.n.g Ling will be carried by him till the end.

Xiao Jianfa on the side sighed as he finally came in terms with what exactly just happened. He connected the bloodl.u.s.t and killing intent to w.a.n.g Ling, he brought out the Bleeding Clouds and showed it to w.a.n.g Ling.

"This is the sword that you wanted and according to the agreement that we had, I have to hand it over to you." Xiao Jianfa looked hesitant to give it to w.a.n.g Ling, but he had to honor his words and in the end, handed it over to w.a.n.g Ling who accepted the sword with a wide smile on his face.

Xiao Jianfa saw w.a.n.g Ling accept the Bleeding Cloud and for a split second, he saw the Bleeding Cloud hum in delight. But he decided to disregard that sight, he had too many things going on in his head regarding w.a.n.g Ling.

"Ling"er, why do you even want that sword? Aside from reaching new heights, there must be some other reason why you want that sword correct?"

w.a.n.g Ling rubbed the sword with his hands, he had yet to form the proper connection with the Bleeding Cloud so at the moment his mind was still unaffected.

He looked at Xiao Jianfa and answered with a mysterious smile. "I want to collect the fragmented sword of w.a.n.g Wudi and reforge them into a single sword."

Xiao Jianfa listened to w.a.n.g Ling"s words and knew that such a thing was impossible. But he could not help but feel that with w.a.n.g Ling, it was a possibility.

Xiao Jianfa chortled as he asked half-jokingly, "The sword fragments are in the possession of renown swordsman of the realm, their cultivation is the same as mine and their achievement in the sword is about the same as mine do you think you will be able to take those swords away?"

w.a.n.g Ling nodded his head confidently, "Yes."

"But what if they refuse to duel you? What would you do? Give up?"

w.a.n.g Ling did not answer but in his mind, he was smiling.

[If they don"t agree then I will destroy them and take my sword back. They will have the pleasure to watch their clans get destroyed because of their stubbornness.]
