Chapter 778: Running Away Desperately (2)

"What? The Yellow Life-prolonging Elixirs?"

"Is Ding Hao a divine alchemist?"

"How is this possible?"

"How could he be one at such a young age? Even a peerless genius can't master so many magical skills at once... saber techniques, sword techniques, elixir refining, and inscriptions. Is he even human?"

The beautiful Emperor-level saberwomen were all astounded.

Their Master's words rang in their ears like a thunderclap.

"Yes, now thinking about it, even I can't believe it. He's still so young..." The Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect sighed. "This lad is definitely the most outstanding talent I have ever seen in my life, a matchless genius. I would even call him a young supreme warrior. He will be another Human God of War once his powers mature."

The four beautiful saberwomen were still in extreme shock.

Their Master sounded so certain, which was also somewhat shocking.

There were countless experts in the history of the Human Clan, but those who had reached the God Realm could be counted with the fingers of one hand. No one was destined to be a God of War. Numerous talents in the history of the Human Clan, brilliant enough to outshine everyone of their generation, could only reach the Sage Realm. So many amazing warriors did not even reach the Sage Realm after being a prodigy.

Their Master sounded so sure, which showed her total admiration for Ding Hao.

The four beautiful saberwomen looked at each other. No one could guess what they were feeling right now.

They didn't expect Ding Hao to be even an alchemist. If they had known that, they would not have thought of such a ridiculous trick. So it turned out that this teal-robed young man had locked himself for a day and a night in his room, refining pills! No wonder when they entered his room, they could smell a faint scent of herbal elixirs.

In other words, the four of them had taken off their clothes and exposed themselves to a man for nothing!

"Young Master Ding not only has extraordinary strength, but also a rare, admirable temperament," the Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect said. She flipped her palm, revealing a shimmering ball of light. An ancient thread-bound book materialized in her hand. "This is the saber manual he left behind, the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique. There're a total of 24 saber moves. I have already read it. It's a really superlative saber technique for combat, totally amazing. Young Master Ding asked me to give this saber manual to you four."

As she spoke, she expelled a gentle force, pushing the saber manual to the first saberwomen.

"The 24 Moves of the Saber Technique? What a strange name!"

The saberwoman opened the book and took a look, then she became totally engrossed.

The Saber-drawing Sect was one of the few saber technique sects on the Divine Central Continent. Its skills had been passed down for centuries, and its comprehension and mastery of the saber had almost reached the level of the Tao. The saberwoman thought she knew a lot about saber techniques, and had also seen countless saber skills of various sects. Yet this thin book in front of her was so unique in saber techniques and fighting intent. It seemed somewhat similar to the skills of the Saber-drawing Sect, but also completely different.

The other saberwomen were even more shocked when they read the saber manual.

"I've never seen or heard of this saber manual and its technique before. It's ancient, ingenious, simple and extraordinary. It's just perfect against the Demon Clan! The four of you, take the manual and study it carefully. If you can master these 24 saber moves, and combine them with the ultimate skill of our Saber-drawing Sect—the Superlative Raging Saber—you will reach a phenomenal level in your saber skills one day!"

The Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect said with a smile.

She was in an uncommonly good mood today, and looked much more energetic.

It was the first time since the siege that the four saberwomen had seen their Master so excited. They felt relieved and could at last relax.

The four of them had the best aptitude in the whole Saber-drawing Sect. They could not have been the personal disciples of the Saber Mistress otherwise. But they had been practicing in seclusion more and more these years and found themselves making less and less progress. They felt less and less hopeful of breaking into the Sage Realm, which had been worrying them. They did not expect a saber manual to change everything...

Seen in this light, even if Ding Hao saw their naked bodies today, it wasn't such a big deal!

The Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect smiled, looking at the faces of her four most beloved disciples. "The supreme Tao of martial arts lies in the harmony of the Yin and the Yang. As the saying goes, the Yin and Yang aren't independent and must co-exist with each other. Just as men and women delight in each other, the Yin can nourish the Yang and vice versa, which can also enhance your temperament and cultivation. You girls have cultivated with me for a century. Over the years, many heroes and talented men have come proposing marriage. They have almost trampled the threshold of our door to pieces, yet you four conceited girls have rejected every one of them. This time, you have met a real sleeping dragon. If the opportunity comes, you should try suggesting marriage to Ding Hao. Unless you still find him unworthy of you, despite his potential and aptitude?"

The four beautiful saberwomen immediately blushed.

The Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect burst out laughing. Whenever they talked about this in the past, the four of them would look contemptuous. But today, they were blushing. Did they feel something for Ding Hao?

She could not blame them if they did.

Ding Hao was not only extraordinary in strength, but also dashing and cultivated, a paragon among men. He was uncommonly handsome, so perfect that few women would not feel drawn to him.

But she did not know that at this moment, they were thinking back on that absurd scene just now, when they were like martyrs undergoing great humiliation before Ding Hao, stripping themselves naked.

"I've already lent Ding Hao our sect's Superlative Raging Saber Manual. You girls can visit him and bring the manual back tomorrow. You can also ask Ding Hao for advice on the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique. Although he is young, he has already comprehended the Saber Intent. His attainment in saber techniques is as vast as the sea. You girls should learn humbly from him."

It was obvious that the Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect was creating opportunities for her four beloved female disciples.

As for who could win this outstanding young man's heart, it would be down to their individual fortune.

If possible, the Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect might even allow all four of them to marry Ding Hao. This genius was destined to be his era's leading exponent, and would surely achieve great things. If they could follow such a man and attract some of his good fortune, they might achieve the extraordinary, or even the impossible.

"Ah? Master, the Superlative Raging Saber is our sect's ultimate skill, only taught to our own sect members over the past millennium. Should we have done that?" One of the four saberwomen asked in surprise.

The Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect sighed. "The mainland is in chaos, and the Human Clan is weak. We mustn't be so pedantic. If each sect hides what they have, sooner or later, we will all be exterminated. Ding Hao sees this from a long-term perspective. The 24 Moves of the Saber Technique isn't inferior to our sect's Superlative Raging Saber. If he can give our sect his manual, we mustn't be too petty. You girls have still much to learn from this young man."

She had some selfish thoughts too.

If her disciples could marry Ding Hao, the Saber-drawing Sect would become even more powerful through this marriage alliance.

It was a gamble and investment in this vast and chaotic world.

"That's right. Ding Hao has surpassed countless people with his magnanimity. There are very few like him now." The beautiful saberwoman who was their leader nodded gently.

Suddenly, she realized that the act of taking her three sisters to seduce Ding Hao might seem outwardly noble, but was really superficial. They were not just belittling themselves, but also Ding Hao.

Perhaps that young man also saw it as an insult to his character?

For a moment, these four proud saberwomen could not lift their heads.

Of course, Ding Hao did not know that these four beautiful, exalted saberwomen had been totally shamed by his noble and selfless act. They were feeling so ashamed of themselves.

With sweat all over his forehead, he exhaustedly repaired the last breach in the City Defensive Array of Tianyuan City. It was almost dawn. The milky gleam of the rising sun could be seen on the distant horizon.

He was still feeling some regret.

"D*mn it, I'm worse than a beast. With four naked beauties before me, I actually turned and fled... I should have pounced on them without thinking and do what every man would have done!"

On the way back to the inn, Ding Hao was cursing himself in his heart.

Only a madman would pretend to be a gentleman!

After escaping the room, Ding Hao went to find the Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect and gave that admirable Sage master the Yellow Life-prolonging Elixirs he had refined.

In fact, the Yellow Life-prolonging Elixir was not a divine elixir, but an ancient elixir. Its refinement method had been lost for ages, only passed down to Ding Hao through the Saber Master and the Sword Master. It was an eighth to ninth-grade elixir, extremely difficult to refine, with hard-to-find ingredients. If Ding Hao had not gone into the Divine Herb Garden, he would not have been able to refine it.

With Ding Hao's current Qi cultivation, he could just about refine this kind of elixir.

The Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect was the backbone of the entire Tianyuan City. With her around, even if the Demon Clan were to make a comeback, Tianyuan City could still hold on for some time. This was why Ding Hao did not hesitate to expend his Qi energy refining these pills. He wanted to help the many million Humans in Tianyuan City.

It was impossible for him to remain in Tianyuan City.

The continent was in chaos. Ding Hao was worried about his friends in the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. He did not want to be late like the last time he entered the Sage Battlefield. Nor would he allow the Demon Clan to destroy his last roots in this world.

After giving the Leader of the Saber-drawing Sect the elixirs, Ding Hao also left her the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique manual.

Ding Hao actually acquired this powerful saber technique from the Sage Battlefield. It was a treasure left behind by a late Human senior. If Ding Hao could help the Human Clan in the Holy War, it would be what the creator of that saber technique wanted, wouldn't it?

Ding Hao did not even keep his Seven Black Cut, a self-created skill, a secret. In fact, Ding Hao had long wanted to release the 24 Moves manual to the rest of the world, but he lacked the right opportunity. Moreover, only superiors with a deep understanding of saber techniques could practice these moves.

Even Ding Hao could only start practicing the 24 Moves of the Saber Technique after mastering the hundreds of saber manuals on the second floor of the Saber Tower. He only managed to achieve something minor doing that.

The Saber-drawing Sect was obviously very suitable for him to achieve this goal.
