Under the scorching sun, Shen Ku, another upstart of the Sect who had just become a core disciple of the Sect brought dozens of expensive gifts, respectfully standing outside the number eight academy and greeted Ding Hao with “martial uncle Ding”. Many people thought that their worldview had completely collapsed.
“Ding … Ding Hao, Martial Uncle?”
Unexpectedly, Shen Ku had addressed Ding Hao as martial uncle Ding?
What… what happened exactly?
Ding Hao was just a nominal disciple, and outer disciple even. How could Shen Ku call him martial uncle Ding? What incredible things happened in the joint trials between the six palaces?
What was even more incredible was that in reaction to Shen Ku’s low profile, there was only one word that came from the number eight academy—
“Out.”
Ding Hao reacted so roughly.
He directly drove away Shen Ku, a core disciple of the inner core, like driving away an annoying fly.
Shen Ku’s reaction dumbfounded everyone.
He did not show the slightest dissatisfaction. Instead, he respectfully saluted and apologized outside the academy before leaving.
Shen Ku was angry but dared not speak. Then he left embarrassedly. When seeing all that, people gazed at the number eight academy of the Eastern Academy of green shirts with a deep awe.
The Originally ordinary academy instantly seemed to have been covered with a mysterious and terrifying veil.
The so-called successor disciple of the inner core who was dissatisfied with him at the moment became timid all of a sudden and never dared to say anything.
As time went by, fewer and fewer people appeared in front of Ding Hao’s courtyard.
However, the various rumors about Ding Hao in the Sect flooded in. Even if some people controlled such rumors intentionally, they could not prevent the revealing of the truth in the joint trials between the six palaces that day.
The Old Monster Qi Qingshan had finally taken a disciple!
Moreover, Ding Hao had become Qi Qingshan’s disciple!
Ding Hao had a meteoric rise and his status of a generation in the clan rose to the first generation, the same generation as the head, Li Jianyi. Moreover, he became the first person in the history of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who was the youngest but with the highest seniority!
Ding Hao had reached the realm of primordial grandmaster!
The Sword-hidden Peak was going to reopen.
Even “Jade Master” yielded before Ding Hao!
The head Luo of the Water-Sword Peak, which was the most mysterious peak among the six peaks, thought highly of Ding Hao!
The original joint trials between the six palaces became a nomination meeting for a peerless genius. Those senior experts and giants of the Sect almost fought to grab Ding Hao as their disciple.
The head Li Jianyi and the Old Monster Qi Qingshan even fought violently in order to snatch Ding Hao.
Ding Hao was decided as the candidate for the head of the next generation!
Ding Hao…
Ding Hao…
The news, whether true or false, flooded in from various channels. They went into the ears of all people. At that time, people were no longer reasonable. They believed in all those bizarre stories concerning Ding Hao.
In addition, many of the authorities who had participated in the joint trials between the six palaces that day did not say anything about it. Therefore, the mysterious color shrouding Ding Hao became more and more bizarre. The boy who was once smiling, modest and gentle, had currently been driven to a deified or demonized image.
Under such a background, the status of “Heavenly World” in the market became more and more stable because of the fact that Ding Hao was one of the backstage bosses which was well known to others.
Ten days prior, Ding Hao was convicted of killing Lu Pengfei and had been monitored by the Sect. Therefore, people became fretful. Some people who wanted to strike Ding Hao when he was down thought that it was the opportunity for them to win the ownership of “Heavenly World”…
But then, they were glad for not having done that.
Otherwise, in view of Ding Hao’s status in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, even if they had just taken away a piece of bricks from the “Heavenly World”, they would have probably been killed instantly.
Under the management of the beautiful Linghu Yingying, the highly talented new manager, the business of “Heavenly World” became more and more prosperous. It was not exaggerated to say that its daily income was very handsome. Its monthly income exceeded many small shops in the market.
A large amount of money flowed toward Ding Hao, Wang Xiaoqi, and the others.
Confronting all kinds of bizarre rumors outside, Ding Hao did not explain anything.
From the beginning to the end, only Wang Xiaoqi, Li Yunqi, Li Yiruo, Li Canyang, Xiao Chengxuan, Yu Jueyao, and Murong Yanzhi, those few could enter the Eastern Academy of green shirts.
The stone wall, which was not that high, isolated those people from the outside world and covered all the mysteries in the yard.
Careful people might find that Ding Hao would go out every three days.
No one knew where he went.
…
Time traveled like an arrow.
In the blink of an eye, those nominal disciples had been living in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect for almost a year. The twelfth five academies’ competition was approaching.
That time it would be more magnificent than any previous edition.
Because it would determine the fate of the best disciples among the five academies.
The better they performed in the competition, the greater the chance of entering the inner core. If they were fortunate enough to be valued by one of the Six Peaks or one of the Six Palaces, they might directly join the Six Peaks and the Six Palaces as Li Lan, Li Muyan, Liang Feixue and others previously did.
At the last moment, Ding Hao still had some soft feelings.
Although he did not come forward himself, he let Wang Xiaoqi, Li Yunqi and Fang Tianyi go forward to unite the scattering Eastern Academy of green shirts. After all, they were brothers to Ding Hao, who hoped that they could go through the difficult parts together in the final test.
After the end of the final test for the nominal disciples, Ding Hao would officially join the Sword-hidden Peak.
His life as a nominal disciple would end. Then he would leap to the high-level with real power and become a condescending big shot.
…
The sun was shining in the early noon.
Ding Hao had once again appeared in the small courtyard amid the remote mountain.
There was the resting place for the cynical man Wang Juefeng.
When Ding Hao went into the yard, the cynical man was topless, showing his strong constitution. He was trying to lift the 5000 kg black stone with an inscription of the gravity tactical formation above his head. He did it constantly and slowly training for recovery.
After rehabilitating for more than half a month and taking the “Pill of Qi-restoring and Rejuvenating” provided by Ding Hao, the cynical man’s injury has basically healed. Moreover, the heterogeneous Qi in his body had been completely expelled, leaving only a trace of scars on his skin which had not completely disappeared.
With his lifting, his robust muscles which were like pieces of rock were aesthetic under the illumination of the sun, giving people a sense of oppression.
