Ling Tian left Duke Cole's residence and walked aimlessly on the streets of the Imperial Capital. Even though it was night time, the streets were still brightly lit and bustling with activity. There were countless people walking by, and the noise from the restaurants and eateries could be heard on the streets. Looking at the people on the streets laughing and laughing while he was alone, he felt even more depressed.
Ling Tian clenched his fists tightly and took a deep breath. He looked up at the sky and saw a few stars hanging in the sky. They seemed to be looking for their comrades who had illuminated the beautiful night sky with them, as well as a place that was suitable for them to settle down. Ling Tian stopped in his tracks and shook his head, trying to get rid of all these annoying things. He then turned around and said coldly,""Come out! You've followed me for so long!"
As soon as the voice fell, a person walked out from a dimly lit interface. He was in his forties and wore a black suit. He wore a gorgeous diamond ring on his left middle finger and a brown interspatial ring on his right middle finger.
"Little brother Ling Tian really has good hearing!”
"It's you?"
"Oh? Do you know me?" The man's expression changed.
"I don't know him. But I know you were at the party tonight.”Both of them were smart people and naturally knew that Ling Tian was referring to Lise's coming of age ceremony.
"How did you find me?" He thought that no one would notice him because he had hidden himself very well.
"You have indeed hidden yourself well, but there are still three flaws.”
"Oh? Tell me."
"First, you shouldn't be wearing a gown of this color. There are only three people in the living room wearing black gowns. Second, you should look at me. Although you're talking to someone else, I know that you're constantly glancing at me and paying attention to me. This way, I'll naturally pay more attention to you.”
"Thinking back, that seems to be the case.”The man touched his chin and nodded in agreement." What about the third?”
"Third, when I saw Benevolent Liz, no one else reacted, but your eyes sparkled. Although it was only for a moment, I noticed it. When I sheathed my sword, your expression didn't change at all, as if you had already predicted this would happen. You should know about my relationship with Doehring, right?”
"I didn't expect there to be so many flaws. It seems that I'm really not suitable for investigation.”The man smiled bitterly. Her understanding of Ling Tian had increased. Although he was young, his observation skills were quite sharp. It seemed that she had underestimated him to be able to notice such details.
"Why are you looking for me?"
"Gifts!"
"Gifts?" At this moment, it was Ling Tian's turn to be surprised. Anyone who encountered a stranger who had been following you for a long time and ran over to tell you that he was here to give you a gift would be surprised and curious.
"Who are you? Why did you give me a gift? What did you give me?"
"My name is Coles. I've brought you a supreme-grade spirit weapon.”Coles looked at the child, but he could not feel the presence of a child at all. He felt that the trick of deceiving a child would not work. Fortunately, he was not stupid enough to use that trick.
He took out a rectangular black box from his interspatial ring and passed it to Ling Tian. The box was simple and elegant. A black dragon was carved on the lid. Its wings spread out and covered half the sky. It breathed out dragon breath and its sharp claws held a huge sword.
Ling Tian slowly opened the box, and a gust of cold air assaulted his nose. The aura was oppressive, and there was a faint dragon's roar mixed within. The sword was not wrapped in a sheath, and there was a dragon carved on the sword. The dragon's movements were exactly the same as the dragon on the box, and it was obvious that it was made by the same person.
"This sword is called the Fury Slash Sword. The blade is one meter and one foot and one inch long, the hilt is one foot and one inch long, and the sword is two and a half inches wide. It was said that this sword was forged from the blood, bones, and tendons of a giant dragon. One could imagine how hard and sharp it was. In order to add spiritual energy to the sword, the soul of a dragon was sealed inside. The sword and the dragon had to absorb spiritual energy for a hundred years before it was completed by three generations of dwarven swordsmiths. The dwarf tribe praised this sword as a supreme-grade spiritual weapon that was comparable to a divine weapon. More than 500 years ago, it caused a bloody storm.”
Ling Tian held the sword hilt in his hand, and at the start, it was filled with an icy chill. It was only when Ling Tian activated his silver battle qi that he was able to barely block the invasion of the icy chill. As he gripped the sword tightly, the cold air dissipated and there was a faint warmth. Although Ling Tian did not understand, he knew that this sword was indeed mystical.
Just as Ling Tian was about to pick up the sword, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful force sucking him in, and he could not even let go of his hand. Ling Tian used all of his battle qi to support the sword, but who knew that the force would become even more violent, as though it wanted to suck Ling Tian in before stopping. Ling Tian gritted his teeth and used his other hand to grab onto the sword hilt, injecting his own demonic energy into the sword hilt as well. The key now was to see who could last the longest and obtain the final victory. If he could successfully suppress the sword spirit, he would be able to use the sword. If he failed, Ling Tian's strength would be wasted here.
Ling Tian understood the crux of the matter and could only grit his teeth as sweat trickled down his forehead. One drop, two drops, three drops…Just as Ling Tian felt that the Qi in his Magical Energy Box had been depleted, the energy in the sword slowly calmed down and began to infuse the Qi and Magical Energy into Ling Tian's body. After an hour, the Qi and Magical Energy that had been infused into Ling Tian's body made him feel extremely comfortable. Not only did he recover his strength, but he also felt as if he had improved a little.
Ling Tian let out a long breath and took out the sword. Just as the sword left the box, a dazzling light flashed and a dragon's roar resounded through the heavens and earth, as though it was excited to see the light of day again. After the dragon roar, everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened. Everything that had happened just now was just an illusion.
"It seems that you are indeed fated with him. You will choose your own master for such a supreme-grade spirit weapon. Congratulations, little brother Ling Tian, for obtaining such a treasure!”
"What do you want me to do with such an expensive gift?”
"I came here purely out of goodwill. Seeing that you were looked down upon by a group of shallow people at the banquet, I feel very indignant for you. Since they look down on you so much, with your strength, why don't you do something and make a name for yourself?”
"I have nothing to do with them. It doesn't matter what they think of me.”
"As expected, he's so bold! However, even though it was unrelated, if you thought about it, why did people live their lives? Wasn't it for fame? To live a beautiful and exciting life? Instead of wasting all their skills in silence, why not make a living? This way, you won't let your master down.”
Seeing Ling Tian lowering his head in deep thought, Kors knew that his words had an effect. He then continued," Think about it, a martial artist can't just shut himself in. He has to constantly take risks and challenge himself in martial arts competitions in order to reach the peak of his strength.”
Ling Tian also recalled what Uncle Yan had told him before, that only by continuously training and challenging the limits of one's body would one be able to reach the peak of one's strength." What you said is right, then how are you going to help me?”
Seeing that he had said he had succeeded, Kors suppressed his joy and told him his plan." I will provide you with information about the person who is suitable for you to challenge, so that you can find him in the shortest time possible. At the same time, I can also provide you with his moves, as well as the subtleties and shortcomings of his moves.”
"There's no need for that. As long as the person's information is enough.”
"Good! Charming!"
"There's no free lunch in this world. Tell me your request.”
"My request is very simple. Since there were no eyes in a martial arts competition, it was inevitable that there would be casualties. As long as you killed one out of ten people, it would be enough.”Looking at Ling Tian's doubtful gaze, Coles immediately continued,""We will give you the deeds of the ten people in advance. Of course, you can also investigate that person first. If you feel that it is not a pity to kill any of them, then what are you worried about? In fact, when you kill people like Mu Hao and the Ghost, others will think that you did a good thing and clap their hands in celebration, don't you think so?”
"I can decide who I want to kill.”
"Of course. We won't force you. If there's even the slightest bit of force, you can quit at any time.”
"Good! Deal!"
"Good! Refreshing! Today, you should find an inn to have a good rest. Here are 100 gold coins. Take them first. I will come to you tomorrow.”Ling Tian took the gold coin and did not stand on ceremony as he turned around to look for an inn.
After watching Ling Tian leave, Coles took out an ancient scroll from his spatial ring and dripped a drop of blood on it. He then chanted a few incantations and the scroll slowly burned to ashes. Kors watched the scroll disappear and looked around. When he saw that no one was paying attention to him, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
"First Elder, Coles just sent a message saying that he has given the Furious Execution Sword to Ling Tian and has acknowledged Ling Tian as his master. He had also successfully convinced Ling Tian to accept the challenge of killing one out of ten people. What is the next step?"
The Great Elder slowly opened his eyes. Looking at his aged appearance, no one could believe that this person was in charge of such a huge organization. He had detailed information on almost everyone on the continent that was worth paying attention to.
"Send him the information!" He closed his eyes again after saying that, as if nothing in the world could wake him up.
Lys waited for a while. After confirming that the Great Elder had no other orders, she walked out and carefully closed the door.
