Chapter 386 - Emerging Geniuses in Large Numbers

Chapter 386 Emerging Geniuses in Large Numbers

Five days later.

Ding Hao showed up again in the nominal disciple area.

At that time, the entrance tests into the Sect for all youths were over.

Forty two boys and girls from the slums, without exception, all successfully joined the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and became nominal disciples. The result made the whole garbage slums in the back mountain become excited. A miracle that they did not dare expect before was actually realized. The fate of the poor disciples was changed.

From then on, the slums would no longer be the humblest in the gate area of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect and nobody dared despise them.

It also meant that as long as the first group of children could successfully stay in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect the next year, it would be enough to feed back to the slums that those young men could pass down their status from generation to generation. That could help the disciples in the slums to stand out continuously and become a force that could not be ignored.

What’s more… Ding Hao, a powerful magnate and figure, was behind them?

Ding Hao appeared in the slums and attended a gala dinner held by parents ecstatic for their children.

Everything was very shabby. The people cheering around the campfire were wearing rags, but the smile on their faces was warm.

The little guys sang and danced around Ding Hao.

Although they had become nominal disciples in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, they had not forgotten their roots.

For a long time, Ding Hao hoped that those children could remember their origins, make efforts to change their fates, turn themselves into the driving force when fighting on the road of martial arts. They should cherish the opportunity of being able to cultivate, and become real fighters with a warrior’s heart. Therefore, he could provide unlimited cultivation money for those children, but he would never spend even a copper coin to improve their clothing.

In the middle of the party, Ding Hao got up to leave and left while seen by the eyes of all the people.

The road had been paved. How to go next depended on the children themselves.

In the next few days, Ding Hao visited his old friends, Li Yiruo, Li Canyang, Xiao Chengxuan, Li Yunqi and others, leaving some pills and cultivation resources. He then returned to the Sword-hidden Peak to carry out a practice in seclusion, continuing to polish his mind and accumulation, and devoting himself to the study of the Human-King Transformation of the blood essence of Evil White Apes”.

Many superiors would lose some of their intelligence when they performed the Human-King Transformation. Although they borrowed the divine power of ancient beasts, they were controlled by a kind of beast nature. They could not use their fighting skills as human beings, but only their fighting instinct as beasts. When Ding Hao was incarnated as the “Evil White Ape”, he inadvertently used the Crystal Column of Qi Ice; he tried to restrain the bestiality contained in the blood essence and was able to display the martial arts techniques and fighting skills of the human tribe with the body of the strange ancient beast.

Fortunately, Ding Hao had such a warm and energetic formula as “Mind Essential”; as long as he had a cup of tea every day, he could be energetic. He conducted his cultivation like a spinning top without rest: the saber intent, the sword intent, inscriptions, formations, weapons refining and elixir refining…

Ding Hao felt like a huge sponge, constantly absorbing energy from the outside world.

During that period of time, under the meticulous training and boosting credentials of the several giants in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, Ding Hao’s rights and status became extremely prominent. Even those superiors at the Grand-master level who had been famous for a long time dared not neglect Ding Hao.

Apart from the Six Peaks and Six Palaces, and the head Li Jianyi, Ding Hao took charge of the Sword-hidden Peak alone. He also had the backing of Qi Qingshan, the old monster, so that he jumped to be the eighth giant in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. With the stamp of his feet, the whole Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would shake.

Under Ding Hao’s bright halo, Li Muyun, Liang Feixue and Li Lan, who had once stood in the balance of forces with Ding Hao in the era of nominal disciples, had been left far behind and had become dim. At the moment, the new nominal disciples—apart from their daily practice—talked more about the legend of Ding Hao, their Senior Martial Brother.

All over the Snow Province, Ding Hao had finally become a recognized leading figure for the younger generation.

Although the Tranquility Academy and the Falling Star Sect had threatened to kill Ding Hao, to take revenge for their dead superiors because of their heavy losses in the battle of the Sword-hidden Peak, it was clear to everyone it was just an oral practice of the two sects, trying to save face.

Currently, Ding Hao had become fully fledged great power. He was a genius who was able to kill a superior in the Martial King Realm. He could not be killed as some wished. On the other side, Mu Tianyang, the peerless genius and the Child Prodigy of the Tranquility Academy, had killed countless famous and powerful people of various sects before growing up and he should have been killed many times!

What’s more, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect would definitely protect Ding Hao with effort!

Since at the moment, Ding Hao had finally begun to have the ability to compete with the Child Prodigy, Mu Tianyang.

Many forces in the Snow Province, who were originally in the mood for amusing themselves by watching Ding Hao make a fool of himself, also began to investigate Ding Hao in detail, by collecting various data about his background. A genius born out of nowhere was likely to break the power pattern of the nine sects coexisting. They had to consider such a variable in their own survival plans and perspectives.

With such a background, Ding Hao and Mu Tianyang’s fight-appointment at the Frozen Peak had become more attractive and more suspenseful.

In the following two months, the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect organized several specially-targeted trials for Ding Hao.

In the process, the resolution of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect as a sect at the overlord level in Snow Province had manifested itself.

Because the test subjects they chose for Ding Hao had been famous monsters in the Snow Province for a long time. In just ten days, twenty-one monsters with human blood on their hands were killed by Ding Hao, and Ding Hao also killed four primordial grand-masters of the human tribe, plus superiors in the Great Grand-master Realm who had committed their full share of crimes to clear up the Sect. Even a superior at the demon prince level in the Demon God Palace, the first demon sect in Snow Province, had become Ding Hao’s sharpening stone, and was finally chased by Ding Hao for thousands of li, being killed by the Black Water in the end!

A year prior, the Tranquility Academy had selected the Young Void Master, the crown prince in the Demon God Palace as the trial subject for Mu Tianyang. With the present achievement, the resolution of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect was roughly the same as that of the Tranquility Academy.

Ding Hao’s reputation had become more and more popular.

At the turn of the spring and summer, geniuses in the Snow Province had emerged in large numbers.

In addition to Ding Hao and Mu Tianyang with Gemini constellations, Phoenix had also set off a shockwave in the Snow Province. She had also killed a big demon at the Demon King level, which made the nine sects look at her with admiration. She was so dazzling that she was no less popular than Ding Hao.

Some people had said that the so-called Phoenix was actually the incarnation of the big demon Phoenix that had escaped from the Snow Dragon Mountain the previous year. After forming another powerful demon force at Saint Phoenix Peak, which was capable of fighting against the Demon God Palace, Phoenix, the incarnation of the superiors in the demon tribe, with an active nature, intended to disturb the Snow Province.
