166: Chapter 166 Ascending the Strongest Dragon Ranking!
Su Lin agreed without a second thought. Even he was incredibly covetous upon seeing that Supreme Sword Intent.
Although he was retrieving it for Gu Jianhao, he would still gain many benefits from it himself.
Therefore, he was actually quite excited about being scheduled to enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races in two days.
He was originally meant to enter the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races early at the War Academy. Although most people had to wait until their sophomore year to be sent there, Su Lin was different from the others, so going to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races early seemed normal enough.
Seeing that Su Lin agreed immediately, the Sword Saint also revealed a rare smile.
"Little fellow, you are even bolder than I imagined. At only 18 years old, you dare to go to the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races to kill a Third Demon Prince?"
"Even in my youth, I wasn't as bold as you."
"Let's be clear beforehand: if you die, I won't be held responsible, okay? This is all something you agreed to yourself."
Su Lin cupped his hands and nodded toward the Sword Saint.
"Sword Saint, there is no need to worry. Everything is my own choice. Even if I die, I will absolutely not blame the Sword Saint."
"I must thank the Sword Saint once again for giving me this opportunity."
"I will definitely not let down the Sword Saint's expectations."
The Sword Saint nodded with satisfaction. That Third Demon Prince was said to be one of the Demon God King's most favored demon princes. If Su Lin could really bring back its head, it would definitely deal a huge blow to the Demon God King. Thinking of the ugly look on the Demon God King's face then, even the somewhat depressed Sword Saint started laughing in advance.
"What is going on? Su Lin hasn't even killed that Third Demon Prince yet, so why am I so happy?"
"Could it be that my subconscious also believes Su Lin can definitely kill that Third Demon Prince?"
The Sword Saint was somewhat surprised to discover that, unknowingly, he already believed Su Lin would definitely be able to complete this mission, and perhaps without needing much time at all.
Su Lin and the Sword Saint talked for a while longer, and the Sword Saint told Su Lin how to return to the Sword Qi Universe after completing the mission.
The Sword Saint would also be leaving Shenglong University soon to head to the battlefield and the abyss, so he naturally wouldn't be waiting for Su Lin. Therefore, when the time came, Su Lin would need to open the Sword Qi Universe himself to come in and retrieve the Supreme Sword Intent.
"By the way, do you know how to refine and cultivate sword fruit?"
The Sword Saint asked suddenly.
Su Lin shook his head.
"If you kill that Third Demon Prince this time, you might as well take out a sword fruit and have it absorb his demon blood. The blood of a demon prince is quite excellent for cultivating sword fruit."
Su Lin suddenly realized.
"So that's how it is."
The Sword Saint continued.
"Cultivating sword fruit also requires placing it in a land of creation to absorb spiritual energy. Besides that, if you want to cultivate a powerful sword fruit, using the blood and life force of powerful demon elites can also work, though it carries more risks. However, as long as the sword fruit truly absorbs those powerful demon bloods completely, it will absolutely become a heaven-shaking Demon-Slaughtering Divine Sword!"
Listening to the Sword Saint's description, Su Lin's breathing quickened.
He valued this mission even more; after all, who wouldn't want to possess a Saint King Grade Demon-Slaughtering Divine Sword?!
It seemed Su Lin's choice this time was not wrong.
After carefully noting down the various matters and having a brief conversation with the Sword Saint, Su Lin bid farewell and was sent out of the Sword Qi Universe by the Sword Saint.
Light swirled in his eyes, and when he reappeared, he was actually standing inside Shenglong University, not the Secret Realm of Swords.
"Why didn't I return to the Secret Realm of Swords!?"
"Oh no, there are still many secret treasures I haven't gone to find yet!?"
Su Lin rubbed his head and sighed softly. There were still many secret treasures on the map provided by his golden qualifications that he hadn't sought out.
But on second thought, he had already obtained the greatest treasure this time. There was no need to even mention a Saint King Grade treasure like the qianxuan space; the most important things were those two sword fruits.
Su Lin had a clear perception of the divine power on the sword fruits. Once they awakened and were truly cultivated, they would be genuine Saint King Grade weapons of mass destruction.
Perhaps all the secret treasures in the Secret Realm of Swords combined were not as valuable as these two sword fruits.
Su Lin immediately recovered. He had still made a massive profit from the Secret Realm of Swords this time, and he was the one who profited the most.
What Su Lin didn't know was that the Secret Realm of Swords ended shortly after he left.
One day later, news that shocked the entire school spread once again, concerning the Secret Realm of Swords, the Sword Saint, and Su Lin.
"What!? Su Lin obtained the greatest opportunity in this Secret Realm of Swords!?"
"The divine sword fruit tree awakened because of Su Lin!? Damn, isn't that a legendary thing? Does the Secret Realm of Swords really have such a thing?"
"Su Lin took two sword fruits!? The qianxuan space was also taken by him!!"
"And in the end, even the Sword Saint appeared!?"
People kept discussing one thing after another regarding Su Lin's time in the secret realm, and many who hadn't entered the Secret Realm of Swords were left jaw-dropped upon hearing this news.
They hadn't expected that in less than a day—barely half a day—in the Secret Realm of Swords, so many things had happened, and everything was related to Su Lin!?
"Su Lin insta-killed the Sword Dao Academy!? Is that true? If it's true, that's so satisfying!"
"It's true, it's true! I was at the scene and saw with my own eyes Su Lin insta-killing six senior students from the Sword Dao Academy at the Lingyun Realm. Su Lin directly used an SS-rank sword technique!!"
"It was more than just six at the Lingyun Realm! Don't you know that in that Sword Pressure Domain, Su Lin directly swatted away the two strongest Earth Venerable martial artists from the Sword Dao Academy!"
Everyone shouted in shock! They had originally thought Su Lin just had monstrously good luck, and that the opportunities in the Secret Realm of Swords had just fallen from the sky and landed right on his head.
They didn't expect that Su Lin had actually crushed and defeated so many experts all the way through. Not to mention those at the Lingyun Realm, they hadn't expected that even the Sword Dao Academy's current He Yufan and Yu Haotian had been insta-killed by Su Lin.
It was rumored that He Yufan and Yu Haotian had been beaten half to death by Su Lin, dragged out of the Secret Realm of Swords for emergency treatment, and their current condition was still unknown.
Everyone instantly became incredibly wary of Su Lin. No one dared to look down on this freshman who had just enrolled less than a month ago.
Everyone had clearly seen the miserable outcome of looking down on Su Lin; the bloody examples of He Yufan and Yu Haotian were already etched in their minds.
At the same time, after the Secret Realm of Swords, everyone was shocked to discover that the name Su Lin had actually appeared on the dragon ranking.
The dragon ranking, a list that no freshman had ever been able to enter, had a gold content countless times higher than the freshman leaderboard. At this moment, Su Lin's name was prominently displayed on the dragon ranking.
"dragon ranking, 66th place, Su Lin, freshman, War Academy."
Everyone kept rubbing their eyes, looking at that familiar name and saying in shock.
"He even made it onto the dragon ranking!?"
"He was already first on the freshman leaderboard, and now he's even on the dragon ranking!? Being on both lists at the same time, is he trying to be the king of both rankings!?"
The dragon ranking included those at the Heavenly King Realm, Earth Sovereign Realm, and Lingyun Realm, but throughout the entire list, Su Lin was the only one at the Divine Aperture Realm.
Yet, this Divine Aperture Realm martial artist actually made many people on the dragon ranking feel wary.
"Divine Aperture Realm!? Why can this Divine Aperture Realm martial artist casually insta-kill those at the Lingyun Realm?? Even those at the Earth Sovereign Realm were beaten half to death!?"
"This must be a fake Divine Aperture Realm!?"
"He's this fierce at the Divine Aperture Realm!? Wouldn't he be heaven-defying once he reaches the Lingyun Realm!!"
