He would be lying if he said he was not tempted.
Nonetheless, Ding Hao still shook his head after some thought and said, "Many thanks for your kind intentions, Lecturer Li. I would still like to enter Swordsmanship-seeking Sect."
Ding Hao had to remain at Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.
First, he had yet to truly discover the secret behind the mountain cave at the bottom of the garbage cliff.
After all, he could still transport the liquid found within the gravel pit upwards. Furthermore, the runes carved on the stone table in the mountain cave were extremely mysterious and he reckoned that was probably an incredible treasure. He planned to look further into this after he grew more powerful in the future. Ding Hao was certain that the mountain cave in that cliff in the Great Abyss was definitely worth exploring.
Second, Ding Hao was still worried about his younger sister who had gone missing more than three years ago.
However, should he
Swordsmanship-seeking Sect only took in around 2,000 disciples every year and this ranking list in front of him looked like it contained around 2,000 names as well. This meant that if no major upset occurred in the afternoon's test of physical quality and test of perseverance, this list would likely be the final name list of disciples that accepted into Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. How could anyone remain calm at the sight of this list? Ding Hao stood at the fringes of the crowd, from where he could clearly see the names on the list. For some reason, from right to left, the names of the top five candidates had been covered with red paper. The top five spots had indeed been taken but their names were not revealed to the public. Only the names of those who ranked sixth onwards could be clearly seen. Ding Hao found himself at tenth place. In other words, Ding Hao's qualifications ranked amongst the top ten of all the youths who had participated in the
Time flew by. The number of people around him continued to decrease steadily. Four hours later, only ten young men remained in the sword formation picture number eight, including Ding Hao, Zhang Fan, and Li Canyang. The others had either chosen to forfeit this round due to the unbearable pain, or fainted dead away and had been carried out of the formation. Ding Hao was starting to feel the strain. As time ticked by, the pressure within this formation had also gradually increased. At this point in time, it was already close to ten times more than the beginning. Zhang Fan was clearly doing his best to hang on. His entire body was covered in sweat droplets that were as big as soybeans and his normal features had contorted themselves into a hideous visage due to the intense pain. His lips were almost destroyed from all that biting down on them and streams of dark red blood flowed down from his lips to his chest. His palms were planted firmly on the gro
On the second day, Ding Hao spent quite a substantial amount of time searching for the mysterious teenage siblings. Unfortunately, he had never caught sight of Xie Jieyu and Ding Ding, and as such he did not know about the fate of the teenage girls who had suffered so much. He guessed that it was more likely for their fate to have made a turn for the worse—it would be extremely hard for Xie Jieyu to pass the entrance test of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, what with her frail constitution. The test continued on the third day. The entire enrolment process of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect lasted for six days. On the first day, most of the onlookers made the effort to arrive extra early, but on the second day, however, the number of onlookers began to decrease. An estimated number of more than 40,000 teenagers from a 500-mile radius had turned up over the past six whole days for the entrance test. Eventually, only 2,020 of the teenagers officially passed th
"You've also been assigned to the Eastern Academy of green shirts? 8th Yard? Haha, this is really good. Doesn't this mean that we're roommates now?" Ding Hao said, feeling pleased as well; he had a good impression of the resilient and stubborn teenager. "I still haven't had the opportunity to thank you for giving in to me that time. If it weren't for the 10 bonus points I earned during the test of willpower, I wouldn't have been able to be accepted into the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Once I get too old, there won't be any hope of me ever becoming a martial artist anymore," Zhang Fan said. He was genuinely, extremely moved. The gentle-looking teenager standing before him who was smiling slightly was someone who had changed his destiny after all. "You don't have to thank me; it was the fruits of your own tenacity. If you had given up from the beginning, I wouldn't have been able to help you in the end anyway," replied Ding Hao
Throughout these three days, other than attending to his basic bodily functions or for his meals and fluid intake, Ding Hao remained in his room to practice his swordsmanship. He had already been living here for more than four years, and he had achieved a very thorough understanding of everything about the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect after merging his memories with the past. There was no more need for him to waste any more time on this aspect. The goal for him now was to make use of all available time to practice and increase his personal strength. The first room turned out to be the best room in the huge yard as expected. As a whole, it was divided into the front hall and back chamber. The front hall was spacious and well-lit; it was most well suited for training. The back chamber was a little more narrow, and there was only a desk and bed made of green stone in it. Obviously, it was to be his resting area. To Ding Hao, every minute and every second was e
"Little brats, since you're almost all here, then I shall introduce myself. From today on, I will be your teacher-in-charge. I'm in charge of all matters regarding cultivation and examination of all disciples on the waiting list in the Eastern Academy of green shirts over the next year. My name is Wang Juefeng, and I am a third generation disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect." At that, a smile appeared on the bearded burly man's face. To the teenagers, the smile seemed rather ferocious. This was especially because the white teeth of the teacher-in-charge were like sharp and dense knives. He smiled and said, "Little brats, trust me, you'll quickly remember this name well!" Everyone could not help but shudder at this point. Having encountered such a teacher-in-charge, it was likely that they would have hard times in the next year. "Very well, it seems that you all already know that you'll be enduring hardships. Then, le
Below the arena, Wang Xiaoqi and the other teens beside him started to cheer loudly. They had already formed a group with Zhuo Yifeng as their leader. They naturally had to scream as loud as they could to boost the morale of their leader. The cynical teacher-in-charge, Wang Juefeng glanced at Ding Hao, and a playful and amused look flashed in the depths of his eyes. Then, he shrugged at Zhuo Yifeng and indicated for the others to move away, leaving behind the arena to Ding Hao and Zhuo Yifeng. The martial arts competition began. "Rascal, just concede. Otherwise, if we really fight, I might accidentally hurt you." Zhuo Yifeng strode to the middle of the arena and planted himself there. He laughed coldly, looking down at Ding Hao. He ranked 107 on the overall rankings, which was below Ding Hao. However, he had always felt that the overall rankings of the sect entrance examination did not befit his true abilities. Only by entering the top 50
Wang Xaioqi lowered his head in the crowd, not daring to look at Ding Hao. His eyes shone, no one knew what he was thinking about. Then, someone in the crowd below the arena jumped up, challenging the top ten. The challenger was a young man who had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He had a dignified manner. He wore green robes and held a long sword in his hand. He looked handsome and imposing. However, his expression was rather cold. Even though he did not reveal anything, but he made one feel as if a piece of ancient ice block had suddenly appeared on the arena. There was a coldness that radiated from the depth of his soul, keeping others several thousand miles away. "Fang Tianyi!" The cold youth announced his name and pulled out his long sword from its scabbard and pointed it at Ding Hao. The person he chose to challenge was still Ding Hao. "Damn it, why did they all choose me? Could it be that I was bor
Wisps of memory information suddenly appeared in his mind.Some scenes seemed to appear in his mind, constantly alternating.Ding Hao watched these scenes like a tourist. Sometimes he was amazed, sometimes he was stunned, sometimes he was sad, and sometimes he was angry.He seemed to have experienced all kinds of things in life.It was as though he had seen through the changing times, the life and death of all living things, and the profound mysteries of the universe.All sorts of chaotic memories and thoughts kept flashing through his mind.The thoughts that he had never had before, as well as the thoughts that he had never thought of before, gave him a unique understanding and comprehension.At this moment, the bottleneck of the Mysterious Fighting Method, which had been troubling him, loosened. With the comprehension of Ding Hao, it was destroyed.He finally comprehended
Ding Tong punched out. An extremely strong dark force broke out at an extremely fast speed and hit Ding Hao in an instant.Feeling the horror of this energy, Ding Hao also looked gloomy, but it was impossible to avoid it.In the roar, drops of bright ruby blood burst out from his meridians. In an instant, Ding Hao became bloody and badly mutilated.Although the wounds were slowly healing, it was much slower than before."Without the original power, it will be much more difficult to deal with Ding Tong." Ding Hao smiled bitterly in his heart, but he was not too afraid.The decision he had made before was to disperse his original power and fight against Ding Tong in the Mysterious Fighting Method, which had not yet been perfect.Only in this way could he defeat Ding Tong, but there was also a great risk in doing so. After all, his Mysterious Fighting Method had not yet been completed, and he had to di
Decades later, all the forces in the Heaven Path world realized that it was impossible to fight alone. Only by fighting closely together could they have a chance to survive.Therefore, as soon as Ding Chunqiu, the head of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, and Hua Mojian, the God Emperor of the God's Palace proposed an alliance, almost no one on the continent opposed it. All the high-level officials of all forces responded and joined the alliance.It was also through these wars that numerous powers were able to unite in a short period.While the alliance had the support of the other four paths, as well as the clans in the Primordial World, the dark forces were immediately forced to slow down.However, the strength of the dark forces was really shocking. Even if the alliance had so many forces, they were not as many as the dark forces. It could be seen that when Ding Tong was in the Primordial World, he used the dark spring to d
"Die!" Mu Tianyang snorted and rushed out like a white flowing shadow. He struck out with the long sword in his hand in the void, and a row of towering sword Qi shot out. It broke through the sky, penetrated the void, and pointed straight at the man who had just spoken."Attack!" Right at this moment, that man laughed coldly as he waved his palm repeatedly, and his companions made a move at the same time. Circle after circle of devilish light appeared and surged through space as they entered the space-time gate.The space-time gate gushed out with stronger dark power, turning into several streams of dark water. Under the guidance of those dark experts, they turned into a torrent and rushed over with great momentum.The black flood was filled with the power of destruction. All sorts of dark energy were mixed within it, and the amount of dark energy contained within it was utterly terrifying.Poof!The sword Qi en
At the same time, Ding Hao and Ding Tong turned their heads and looked in the direction of the voice.There, two figures were rapidly flying over. Behind them were many other figures.One of the two at the forefront was wearing a white robe. His hair was long and snow-white, and his whole body was snow-white. He was extremely handsome. As for the other one, he looked much more ordinary, but he had the temperament of a superior. As he stood there, all creatures could only look up to him."Mu Tianyang! Xuan Tianzong!"These two people were Mu Tianyang and Xuan Tianzong, who were supposed to be in the Primordial World. Behind them were masters of the Nine Spirits Tribe, the Evil Yang Tribe, the Charm Tribe, and the Yu Tribe from the Primordial World.Ding Tong and Ding Hao did not expect that Mu Tianyang and Xuan Tianzong would come here at this time. They were quite shocked for a while.It seemed that
The space-time gate opened, and the dark power from the Primordial World came in an endless stream.This news was not good news for God's Palace or even the continent.The wave-like dark creatures continuously surged over. They were so densely packed that it made one's scalp go numb."Hahaha, Ding Hao, without your resources, do you think the God's Palace can resist the attacks of my army?" Ding Tong laughed wildly, and his voice was full of pride."Damn it!" Ding Hao cursed in a low voice with a flash of cruelty in his eyes. Then, he turned into a stream of flowing light breaking through the void and rushing to the space-time gate, trying to destroy it.It was impossible to stop the dark creatures that had entered the six paths through the space-time gate. Now, he could only destroy the space-time gate to prevent more dark forces from pouring into this world.As soon as Ding Hao passed through the
Above the Ninth Heaven, the earth-shattering battle between Ding Hao and Ding Tong was still going on."Now, how can you stop me? I have refined the Heart of Heaven and Earth and am already invincible. I will rule the six paths, including this Planar Cosmos..." Ding Tong sneered and turned into a streak of demonic light, rushing to Ding Hao. The dark energy that could destroy the world turned into an endless windstorm and swept out.The space began to shake wildly and was cracked by the dark power. In the end, it turned into a whirlpool and surged forward wildly."You're too vicious. If you really become the dominator of this Planar Cosmos, I'm afraid that the world will plunge into misery from now on, and there will be no peace. Therefore, I won't give you the chance to achieve this!" Before his voice died away, Ding Hao had already rushed over. The light of the saber and the sword and the eternal rules of destruction were blooming wild
Boom!The flowing light all over the sky interwove for a while and finally dissipated."Hahaha, as I said, your move is useless against me!" Ding Tong laughed.Ding Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and his palms trembled violently. The saber and the sword returned to his hands. He ignored Ding Tong who was laughing and launched another attack.He was surrounded by Saber Light and Sword Light. For a moment, he seemed to have turned into the burning sun, dazzling.Suddenly, he waved the sword and the saber in his hands. The gold and silver lights twined around them. The Saber Intent and the Sword Intent broke out at the same time. Incredibly powerful energy suddenly burst out. The sword and saber in his hands seemed to resonate with heaven and earth, and their auras echoed with the world. The mighty body seemed to have infinite power and could destroy everything."Die!" Ding Hao's word seemed to be comm
In merely a short period, the bronze mountains, which possessed an extremely strong defensive ability, were actually broken through without the slightest mishap.With this momentum, countless dark creatures flooded in like a flood breaking through a dam.They continued to rush to the second and harder defense, the White Silver Mountain Range.With roars, the dark army bombarded its target once again.Rumbling sounds rang out endlessly like thunder while heaven and earth shook.Thick black smoke rose into the sky like a long dragon swimming. Dazzling light filled one's sight as the dark black figures and gorgeous strength collided.In the middle of the battlefield, dazzling lightning bolts that looked like wild dragons slithered in the void, shaking heaven and earth.Like rain, the lightning bolts fell from the sky, covering the surrounding space.Before many dark creatures
