Chapter 1636 |
Duanmu whispered to Su Yi, and Su Yi’s expression changed instantly. It was clearly Duanmu’s response to him, and Su Yi’s mouth curled up slightly.
Anran walked to Gu Yue’s side, and Li Shiran and Achu were already extremely excited when they saw Su Yi. They rushed up and their eyes were full of joy.
Su Yi took the lead to bow deeply to Old Man Gu Yue. In the daze of that day, Su Yi knew that it was Gu Yue who came to plead with the Palace Master on his behalf, saving him from danger. Therefore, he specifically spoke formally.
"Elder Gu Yue, thank you for your concern!"
"Miss Shi Ran, Achu, you have also been worried!" Su Yi smiled warmly. Shi Ran and Achu had already become like younger siblings to him, and he always cared about them.
Li Shiran and Achu, being children at heart, couldn’t help but shed tears as soon as Su Yi spoke.
They vigorously shook their heads and said, "It’s okay! It’s okay. Palace Master Duanmu is actually a very good person! Su Yi, don’t blame her! Palace Master Duanmu has already dealt with those thief Zuo Qiufeng and his gang. Talk to her properly, and everything will be fine! She won’t make things too difficult for you!"
Su Yi nodded and smiled without speaking. Then he felt a very familiar presence next to him. His heart trembled slightly and his eyes instantly widened.
A huge figure, about two meters tall, stood by his side. His eyes were full of surprise and doubt. Su Yi couldn’t help but wonder, "Who is this?"
"Su… Su Yi, this is my dad! Han Wulong from Wuliang School!"
After saying these words, Han Yurou’s heart became timid. She nervously bit her lips, played with her fingertips in circles, lowered her eyes, and appeared a bit shy.
As Su Yi looked at Yurou’s strange expression, his mind raced. He couldn’t help but take a sharp breath at the back. This was the helmsman of the Wuliang School, which was as terrifying as the Sacred Mountain – Han Wulong?
He was not even forty, but he was already at the sixth stage of the Yuan Zong Realm! His talent was extraordinary, surpassing ordinary people by at least thirty years!
Su Yi immediately showed a serious expression and confidently said, "I have met the head of Wuliang School! Your reputation precedes you! I didn’t expect you to have such charisma!"
Meanwhile, Han Wulong’s aura expanded completely, his gaze focused. The overwhelming pressure from his cultivation at the sixth level of the Element Ancestor was enough to intimidate Su Yi, who was older and an ordinary martial artist.
However, Su Yi remained calm and composed, walking leisurely. His qi flowed smoothly throughout his body, giving off a sense of profound weight that seemed to span across the heavens and earth. He impressed Han Wulong instantly.
"Indeed, Sect Leader Su’s reputation is well-known to me as well! Your remarkable abilities explain why Palace Master Duanmu regards you highly!"
Su Yi smiled slightly and softly said, "Miss Yurou often mentions you. I never expected you to be so young! I admire you, Su Yi!"
"Hahaha! Speaking of which, you saved Yurou once. I, Han, owe you a great favor! If you ever need anything in the future, you can find me, Han Wulong, at Wuliang School!"
Han Wulong raised an eyebrow, speaking loudly.
"Dad! Is it true? Will you help Su Yi?" Han Yurou’s eyes sparkled as she exclaimed to Han Wulong.
"Hmm… Yes, as long as Su Yi asks for it, Wuliang School will definitely find an opportunity to repay this favor!" Han Wulong spoke confidently and eloquently.
Su Yi couldn’t help but feel delighted. Wuliang School and Sacred Mountain were equally terrifying. If he could get the promise from the leader of Wuliang School, it would be a great gift. He then said, "Thank you in advance, Sect Leader Su!"
Han Wulong’s broad and powerful hand gently rested on Su Yi’s shoulder. He couldn’t help but be amazed. How could this kid have such strong bones? Despite his thin and weak body, he had such physical strength?
Little did they know, Su Yi’s physical strength had already reached the level of a Yuanzong. He could easily withstand Han Wulong’s casual touch. Su Yi remained calm and composed.
"Sect Leader Han, what can I do for you?" Su Yi asked softly.
Han Wulong whispered, "During the Yutian Soul Race, I will make sure you don’t die. After the competition, there will immediately be the Sky Wind Ranked Battle. Regardless of who you fight for or what you think, you must make time to visit Wuliang School. This is an important matter, and Sect Leader Su must take it seriously!"
After hearing these words, Su Yi felt his heart and soul shake. He wondered what Han Wulong meant by saying this sentence to himself.
After the Yutian Soul Race, there was less than ten days left until the Sky Wind Ranked Battle. It was expected that Su Yi would go to Youzhou with the people from Yutian Palace. Why did he make a special trip to Wuliang School? Was there something unexpected happening, or was it related to Han Yurou?
Han Wulong looked serious, not like he was joking. Su Yi also became serious and nodded heavily, saying, "I will definitely go! Sect Leader Han is waiting for me at Wuliang School! Even during the Yutian Soul Race, I, Su Yi, will rely on my own strength. If I cannot even protect my own life, I believe Wuliang School would also be disappointed!"
"Hahaha! I am starting to like you more and more. You have to show me your best and get first place later!" Han Wulong laughed heartily and patted Su Yi’s shoulder.
"Haha!"
Su Yi immediately lowered his shoulders, released his strength, and rolled his eyes in frustration. Yuan Zong Realm can’t be the only solution!
Immediately, he took a step forward and awkwardly said to Han Wulong, "Kid, let’s do our best!"
Hearing their conversation and Su Yi’s agreement, Han Yurou blushed and felt happy. She immediately pulled Han Wulong aside and gently asked why he invited Su Yi to Wuliang School.
Han Wulong waved his large hand and said seriously, "Focus on your competition and don’t think about anything else!"
"Strength! Definitely not enough!" Su Yi’s mind churned.
Despite being young, Han Wulong already had such incredible strength. He could be considered one of the best in six continents, three states, and one sea.
Although he was still young and couldn’t be compared to the hundred-year-old Holy Lord or Duanmu Xiaoman, in the world of martial arts, life expectancy increases as cultivation progresses. He had a great chance of becoming the top martial artist in Yun Region in the future.
Compared to that, his own speed was too slow, especially since he didn’t have much time left!
The promise of five years, with a little over two and a half years left, when they reach the Yuan Zong Realm, there are still many things to do, and Su Yi couldn’t help but feel determined.
From the beginning as the Divine Sword Master, to now as Han Wulong and Duanmu Xiaoman, mountain peak after mountain peak appeared before Su Yi’s eyes.
What made Su Yi feel even stranger was that his the Heavens Taming Incantation was obviously on par with Duanmu Xiaoman, much more advanced than the others in the Yutian Palace.
Who could that person at the bottom of the cliff be? What kind of connection does he have with the Yutian Palace? Su Yi probably needed to ask Duanmu Xiaoman to find out.
