Chapter 637: Chapter 125: Returning to the Dreams of Antiquity (17)
“Little Gui,”
“Ah?” Gui He wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked up at Lu Hong, asking, “Master, was there sothing wrong with my movent just now?”
“There wasn’t,” Lu Hong shook his head: “You did very well, but I have sothing else to discuss with you.”
Speaking, Lu Hong leapt down from the tree trunk and landed beside Gui He. He pulled Gui He to sit on a rock.
“What is it, all secretive?” Gui He’s expression was puzzled, but he sat up straight. Apart from not displaying any killing intent, Lu Hong’s expression was just like the ti when Gui He had first beco his apprentice; the words to follow must be extrely important!
“Little Gui, if I were to fight with your Beast Race, whom would you help?”
“Of course, I would help you, Master!”
“What if it were a fight to the death?”
“It would still be you, Master!”
“And what about a massacre?”
“…” Gui He couldn’t speak. Indeed, he couldn’t just watch his own kind being slaughtered.
Lu Hong didn’t mind Gui He’s silence; on the contrary, he confird that Gui He was being genuine and not deceiving him.
“You should know how brutally my Human Race has been exploited by the Beastn over the years, correct?”
“Yes, Master,” Gui He had known from the start that this subject would eventually co up.
“So, it would be reasonable for to seek revenge against the Beastn, right?”
“Master…” Gui He started, “There are many Heavenly Gods among the Beastn, please don’t act rashly.”
“Not bad, you’ve learned to care for your Master,” Lu Hong laughed aloud and continued, “I don’t ask for your help when I deal with the Beastn, but at least don’t cause trouble, can you do that?”
This request was quite modest. Gui He nodded, “I promise you, and from this day on, whenever I encounter mbers of the Human Race being persecuted, I will certainly rescue them with all my might!”
“I’m relieved with your words,” Lu Hong said solemnly, “Next, you must also agree to another matter.”
“Tell !” Gui He sensed that this was the focal point of his master’s instruction.
“You practice swordsmanship but because you don’t grasp the ntal thod, it lacks power though it may look impressive. It works against low-level Demon Beasts or ordinary soldiers, but against higher-level experts, defeat is almost certain. Unless you can integrate your Turtle Race’s secret technique into your swordsmanship, and considering that such an endeavor won’t be achieved overnight, I plan to teach you the ntal thod of swordsmanship. I hope you study it well, so at least until you integrate the secret technique, it can enhance your strength and regain your beloved.”
Hearing Lu Hong’s words, Gui He was greatly excited and imdiately wanted to kneel and offer his respect.
But Lu Hong caught him, “Don’t be hasty with your thanks. You can learn my ntal thod, but I hope you rember it does not belong to your Beast Race, so you cannot pass it on to any Beastman unless you have my permission, and the sa holds true for not casually teaching it to the Human Race. Do you understand what I’m saying?”
Gui He nodded and imdiately swore, “I vow on the na of my Turtle Race’s Heavenly God of Longevity that I will never divulge the ntal thod you have graced with in this lifeti. Should I betray this vow, let be struck down by heaven and earth!”
“Achoo~” At this mont, the Turtle Race’s Heavenly God of Longevity, who was deep asleep in the ocean’s depths, shivered all over and couldn’t help but sneeze.
“I…,” the Heavenly God was bewildered, “Have I caught a cold? Can a mighty Heavenly God like catch a cold? Or is my end approaching? No, no, I need to hide in case it’s an enemy coming for .”
As Gui He finished his oath, Lu Hong finally imparted the ditation Technique to him.
With Lu Hong’s help, after a night’s effort, Gui He had cultivated his first wisp of Fighting Spirit.
Growing through combat, half a month flew by swiftly. At this point, Gui He was ragged but seed like a sharp sword, his gaze piercing, a stark contrast from before.
The day of the wager was approaching, and Lu Hong also planned to leave the Hunting Ground to look for Hai Ge in the Southern Sands. This hunting trip had been very effective; Lu Hong had broken through the First Transition and once again beco an Angry Blood Warrior. Below the Second Transition, Lu Hong finally had enough foundation to seek revenge against Akes and the other Beastn Viscounts!
“Master!” After finishing their last lunch together, Gui He was the first to speak, “I’ve heard that there might be big trouble in the Southern Sands recently. It’s probably best if you don’t go.”
“I know, but there’s still ti, and I must make the trip,” Lu Hong handed over his insights on the Second-Turned Great Warrior and Angry Blood Warrior to Gui He, continuing, “Once you break through the First Transition, there will be two possible advancents. I don’t know which profession you will advance to, so I wrote down the mystiques of these two professions for you. Once you have morized them all, you must burn them. Never let them be leaked.”
“Mm, disciple will rember the Master’s command attentively!”
“Alright, I’m leaving. Go back and show your woman how splendid you’ve beco now!” With those final words, Lu Hong transford into a stream of crimson fla and disappeared into the depths of the forest.
Watching Lu Hong leave, Gui He took a deep breath. Separation was only temporary; once he fulfilled the bet, he would definitely continue to follow in his master’s footsteps!
As the sun set in the west, the little brothers and sisters surrounding Tian Xiang Hong were growing impatient.
“Sister Hong, I think that Gui He must have died in there, right? We don’t need to wait any longer. Just go back.”
“That’s right, that’s right. Staying in the Hunting Ground for half a month has really been exhausting. I just want to go back, take a hot bath, and sleep comfortably for two days and nights.”
“Shut up!” Tian Xiang Hong, annoyed, rebuked in a low voice.
Though they were called Tian Xiang Hong’s little brothers and sisters, in reality, their respect for Tian Xiang Hong was entirely due to Lin Lang’s influence. They showed a hint of mockery at Tian Xiang Hong’s scolding but said no more.
At that mont, a figure erged from the dense forest of the Hunting Ground. The evening sun draped a golden veil over him, shrouding him in mystery.
Tian Xiang Hong narrowed her eyes and recognized the newcor as Gui He.
“Here he cos!” Laughing at soone else’s misfortune seed to be a common trait across all races, and everyone began to buzz with excitent.
Looking at Gui He, who had walked up to them, Tian Xiang Hong inexplicably felt a strange sensation, as if the person before her had changed sohow.
Pushing aside her thoughts, the most pressing thing now was the bet.
“Gui He, do you still rember our initial agreent?”
“I rember.” Gui He, looking at Tian Xiang Hong’s stunning face, couldn’t help but tremble inwardly.
“Good. Please take out the Demon Beast materials you hunted as proof.”
Hearing Tian Xiang Hong’s words, Gui He, without hesitation, opened his Space Ring and poured out all the Demon Beast materials.
Looking at the mountainous pile of Demon Beast materials, everyone, including the gatekeeping soldiers, widened their eyes.
How could there be so many?
“It’s fake! Gui He, you must be cheating!” soone shouted loudly. It had to be fake. Initially, Gui He couldn’t even kill a third-level little demon snake without almost getting killed himself. How could he have possibly hunted so many Demon Beasts in half a month, and half of them above level four?
In truth, there were many more Demon Beast materials in Gui He’s Space Ring, hunted by Lu Hong. Gui He disdained cheating, so he did not bring them out.
Tian Xiang Hong’s face gradually darkened as well. Over the past half month, even with the joint efforts of her companions, they had only killed a little over three hundred Demon Beasts, which was vastly less than what Gui He had just dumped out.
“Gui He, it would be pointless if you cheated!” Tian Xiang Hong, of course, didn’t believe these Demon Beasts were all killed by Gui He.
Before Gui He could retort, the captain of the guard beside them spoke up: “Regardless of whether Lord Gui He killed them, these Demon Beasts were indeed recently hunted. This I can confirm.”
“Hm? You can confirm it?” a Crocodile Race beastman from the squad asked the captain, “On what grounds can you confirm that?”
“Because of the scent,” the captain spoke solemnly. “These Demon Beast materials still emit a strong scent of blood. Presumably, Lord Gui He stored them in the Space Ring imdiately after hunting them, without letting them weather.”
“Yes.” Gui He nodded, affirming the captain’s statent.
But those noble beastman offspring still refused to believe it: “You must have secretly summoned a powerful family mber to help you hunt! Gui He, I didn’t expect you to be so despicable!”
Gui He looked indifferently at the clamoring beastman noble and said, “What proof do you have that I called for outside help?”
“And what proof do you have that you were the hunter?” the Leopard Race man said sullenly. “Given your diocre skills, no one would ever believe it!”
Gui He seed to understand and nodded, “Then tell , how should I prove it?”
“Defeat . If you can’t even beat , just admit your cheating honestly!”
“Agreed.”
