Chapter 147 Sword Intent: Okay, Xiaolan

Ding Hao was astonished for a moment.

The incomparably simple movement was performed in the hands of this vague figure, but it seemed to contain the supreme truth of vicissitudes of the universe and the shades of Heaven and Earth. There was some mysterious stuff with amazing implication. The great ease of Sword Intent attracted Ding Hao to obsessively indulge in it as his spirit was like walking upon the air, lost completely.

“Is that is ‘Sword Intent’? That kind of extreme simpleness and abstruse implication, that sense which contains the universal changes of stars…”

Ding Hao was completely lost in the moment when the vague figure was waving the sword.

The right moment was like an eternal moment, transcending everything and also constraining everything.

As a cool breeze blew, Ding Hao finally woke up from this shock.

When he opened his eyes, he was surprised.

It had already been 15 or 16 hours later, and it was dawn.

The distant sky was turning bright. As a charming morning came, a stream of dusk appeared. An unknown bird released a series of crisp sounds in the sky, just like a wind chime rolling.

“I expected it was a moment, but it actually was such a long time?”

Ding Hao felt shocked.

In his mind, it was only a minute or two before he woke up from the image transferred by Sword Master, but in the real world, it was almost a whole night.

How was this going?

“I didn’t expect you have such good luck that you’ve actually entered the state of enlightenment!”

A familiar voice was heard.

It was Li Lan.

Ding Hao turned his head, and he surprisingly discovered that Li Lan, at some point, who had become the head of Eastern Academy of green shirts, leaned against a tree with yellow leaves in the yard with his hand crossed over his chest. The leaves slowly fell from the branches and floated on his shoulders, like the one in a painting. He was looking at Ding Hao calmly.

“Enlightenment?” Ding Hao asked.

“Every people in the world has a root of wisdom that can lead them to the truth. But unfortunately, there is too much dust to disturb you. When the wind blows away the dust, you are bound to meet Buddha…” Li Lan said in an envious tone for the first time. “Buddhism has always been striving for supreme insight which is called enlightenment, while a warrior is able to gain some truth of Martial Arts in a certain time or space. Enlightenment can either last long or short. Some people can be in the state for thousands of years and becomes the supreme one, while others may have slight insight for a short moment. And you entered the state of insight for a whole night, that means a lot!”

“A lot?” Ding Hao was interested. He took out the rusted sword from his Storage Ring, closed his eyes and realized quietly, stretching out his sword.

Hiss!

The rusted sword cut through the void, not the sound of howl, but just a slight cracking noise of cloth.

The trace of the sword blade had some vague intention.

But it was far from the “Sword Intent” that Ding Hao expected.

Li Lan was suddenly shocked. He walked for a few steps forward and the yellow leaves on his shoulders fell. He looked at Ding Hao with amazement and said, “You… comprehended… Sword Intent?” His voice was slightly trembling, with an unusual strange crispness.

“It’s still a long way ahead. I just copied mechanically. It was not ‘Sword Intent’.” Ding Hao shook his head regretfully.

“Sword Intent” was not that easy to comprehend!

For millions of years, only a handful of people had truly mastered the “Sword Intent” among millions and millions of geniuses. Others who claimed to have mastered the so-called “Sword Intent” only scratched the surface of it. If Ding Hao comprehended it overnight, that would be too exaggerated.

“Although he has comprehended it superficially, it is somewhat interesting.” Li Lan looked at Ding Hao complicatedly as a shock in his heart had not dissipated.

Ding Hao strangely found that Li Lan seemed to have a certain feeling for “Sword Intent” more than ordinary people did. Otherwise, with his calm and aloof temperament, how could his face lose its color after he saw it?… What happened?

Li Lan apparently realized he forgot to behave himself.

He took a small step back and flicked a yellow leaf off his shoulder. His look grew back to normal. He said, “I came last night and found you enter the state of enlightenment. Wang Xiaoqi, Zhang Fan, and others who dared not to wake you up, and they stayed with you for the whole night. This morning, I asked them to go morning exercise, and then went directly to class.”

“You came last night? Stayed for a night?” Ding Hao was surprised, and immediately smiled. “The head is looking for me? Do you have anything to tell me?”

“Of course.” Li Lan was not used to Ding Hao’s banter. He frowned, slowly coming over and watching Ding Hao. He seriously said, “Since I just became the head, I want to come to visit the No.1 expert of our Eastern Academy of green shirts. I want a good relationship with you. Otherwise, I am afraid that my plan will not be carried out smoothly.”

Ding Hao couldn’t help but laugh, “I didn’t expect that you’ve learned how to joke.”

“Who is joking?” Li Lan glared at Ding Hao. “Don’t you know how high your prestige is among fellow male apprentices? If I can’t convince you to stand up and support me, I am totally a failure to be the head. You are the only one they listen to.”

Ding Hao smiled and touched his nose as if his vanity had been greatly fulfilled.

Li Lan snorted and said, “What? Do you regret it? Should I return the position to you?”

Ding Hao finally couldn’t help but laugh, “Hey, you actually make a joke? OK, go ahead. How can I support you? I must go all out… Hey, look at yourself! I really think you’re a woman actually!”

Li Lan glanced at him and said coldly, “Your joke is really not funny. The second five academies competition is coming around.” He turned away without so much as a backward glance. “Ding Hao, I hope that you, as the first master of the academy, can keep the glory in the first five academies competition, so that you can get the people of Eastern Academy of green shirts all together. I want to make you the example of the entire Eastern Academy of green shirts!”

“The next five academies competition? Don’t worry.” Ding Hao was full of confidence and smilingly said, “Hey, Xiaolan, thank you.”

After entering the state of enlightenment last night, Ding Hao did not comprehend the “Sword Intent”, but it was also quite rewarding. If Li Lan had not been staying with him, once he was awakened by some daredevil, it would be a big loss.

But Ding Hao’s words made Li Lan, who had been walking very steadily, almost fall to the ground. He turned around and glared at him, “If you call me Xiaolan again, I’ll tear you into pieces.”

“Okay, Xiaolan.”

“Ding Hao, you…”

“Don’t be angry, Xiaolan. I just made a joke, Xiaolan…”

Li Lan: “…”
