164: Chapter 164 What I Want
The entire Secret Realm of Swords echoed with that magnificent voice, sounding like the might of heaven. People everywhere looked up at the sky in shock, seeing it ripple constantly like the surface of disturbed water.
As for the many senior students in the Lingyun Realm outside the Sword Pressure Domain, they fell directly from the sky upon hearing this voice, as if they had turned back into mere mortals.
Inside the Secret Realm of Swords, upon hearing such a terrifying voice, everyone quickly associated it with one person. Only he possessed such god-like power.
The Sword Saint!!
How could everyone have imagined that the Sword Saint's voice would suddenly appear!?
"Is this the Sword Saint's voice?! What's going on?"
"Holy crap!! Was the Sword Saint just talking about Su Lin?!"
"Su Lin was praised by the Sword Saint?! How does he deserve this honor?!"
Everyone kept gasping in cold air, looking in disbelief at the young man still within the golden domain in the distance.
Suddenly, a burst of intense light erupted. Everyone was blinded for a moment and squeezed their eyes shut. Half a second later, when they opened their eyes again, they were stunned.
They saw that the Sword Pressure Domain had become empty; the divine sword fruit tree had vanished, and likewise, Su Lin was nowhere to be seen.
"Where did Su Lin go?!"
"That light?! Could it be the Sword Saint..."
"Could Su Lin actually get to meet the Sword Saint! Holy crap! My god, what kind of luck is this!"
Everyone became incredibly jealous; they couldn't even imagine what kind of opportunities and fortunes Su Lin might receive after meeting the Sword Saint.
...
Su Lin only felt the world spinning. After a white light covered him, he was pulled into another space. By the time he came to his senses, he was in a blue space filled with sword qi.
This space was extremely vast, with no visible boundaries. Phantoms of long swords dotted the sky and ground like stars; this place was like a universe of sword qi.
Above Su Lin, an old man with white hair was sitting suspended in the air, earnestly scrutinizing him.
"You must be Su Lin."
The Sword Saint said calmly.
Seeing this scene, anyone who wasn't a fool would know that this person was the Sword Saint he had been searching for.
He didn't expect to meet the Sword Saint so quickly. Su Lin couldn't hide the excitement in his heart and immediately bowed with cupped hands.
"Junior Su Lin pays respects to the Sword Saint."
"No need to be so formal. Although this is indeed our first meeting, I have never cared for such tedious etiquette. Just tell me the reason you are looking for me; I have already heard about you from He Xuan."
"I heard you have been waiting for me to come out of seclusion? What is the matter?"
The Sword Saint asked Su Lin directly.
Su Lin didn't expect the Sword Saint to be so direct. He was about to get straight to the point and state his purpose, but he didn't expect the Sword Saint to speak first.
"I guess it must have been Gu Jianhao who sent you here."
"..."
Su Lin immediately swallowed the words he was about to say. He knew that the relationship between the Sword Saint and Gu Jianhao was not good; he hadn't expected the Sword Saint to guess immediately that Gu Jianhao had sent him.
Su Lin suddenly didn't know what to do. After pausing for two seconds, he immediately spoke up.
"Who is Gu Jianhao?"
"Please forgive this junior for being a frog in a well; I do not recognize that name."
"Oh?"
The Sword Saint didn't expect Su Lin to answer like that. He raised an eyebrow and remained silent, letting Su Lin continue.
Su Lin instantly reorganized his thoughts and spoke again.
"This junior has long admired the Sword Saint. Ever since I began practicing martial arts, I have always regarded the Sword Saint as a role model to emulate for my entire life."
"I have also heard that the Sword Saint possesses the peerless Supreme Sword Intent."
"This junior has always dreamed of obtaining a strand of that god-like sword intent, so I went through all sorts of hardships to finally get admitted to Shenglong University. I was extremely lucky to wait until the Sword Saint came out of seclusion, and I even obtained many fortunes in the Secret Realm of Swords earlier. I must sincerely thank the Sword Saint here first."
The Sword Saint smiled lightly, shook his head, and looked at Su Lin with a glimmer of interest in his eyes.
"Always considered me an idol? Really?"
"You want the Supreme Sword Intent? Why should I give it to you?"
Su Lin seemed to have anticipated that the Sword Saint would say this and immediately took out two sword fruits that emitted brilliant golden light, as if they were burning with golden flames.
"I wonder if these two sword fruits can be exchanged for a strand of Supreme Sword Intent."
Su Lin said in a sincere tone.
"Hahaha, you actually want to trade sword fruits with me for the Supreme Sword Intent."
"Not to mention that these are things from my Secret Realm of Swords to begin with, and furthermore, I am already a martial artist at the Saint King Realm. No matter how strong this sword fruit is, it is useless to me."
"As the Sword Saint, I naturally have things that are stronger and more suitable for me. You should keep this sword fruit for yourself."
The Sword Saint refused directly, which made Su Lin's expression turn worried. These two sword fruits were the most valuable things he currently possessed; if the Sword Saint didn't want them, Su Lin really had nothing else to give him.
And the qianxuan space was a treasure that the Sword Saint had put into the Secret Realm of Swords in the first place, so it wouldn't be appropriate to take it out.
"What should I do?"
Just as Su Lin was lost in thought, the Sword Saint spoke again.
"Speaking of which, in this Secret Realm of Swords, you kid actually performed quite well. Even I didn't expect that you would actually trigger the long-dormant divine sword fruit tree."
"You surely know what level of object the divine sword fruit tree is, so I don't need to say anything more."
"Having just seen your performance, I can say you are the most impressive student I have seen in all these years. Moreover, you just enrolled and are still a freshman; your future is limitless."
The Sword Saint did not spare his words, praising Su Lin greatly, which made Su Lin feel a bit flattered. However, deep down, Su Lin was still secretly thinking about how he could obtain the Supreme Sword Intent.
Don't just praise! Reward me with a little Supreme Sword Intent! Please, Sword Saint!
I've said everything I could!
This time I really got lucky that the Sword Saint personally summoned him to meet. I don't know if there will be another chance to see the Sword Saint next time. This is the only chance to obtain the Supreme Sword Intent now!
A look of determination appeared in Su Lin's eyes, which was clearly seen by the Sword Saint.
"Lord Sword Saint, as long as you can give me the Supreme Sword Intent, this junior is willing to do anything."
The Sword Saint looked at Su Lin's expression and shook his head, saying.
"Young people are just too impatient."
"It's not like I'm really not going to give it to you..."
"!!"
Upon hearing this, Su Lin's eyes immediately lit up.
"However, you must also pay a corresponding price, or rather, provide something equivalent."
"Lord Sword Saint, whatever you want, as long as I can provide it, I will definitely not say a word and will even give it to you if it costs me my life!"
The Sword Saint smiled lightly and said in a calm tone.
"I want the head of the Demon God King!"
"Ah?!"
Su Lin's pupils contracted, and he was almost scared out of his wits. The head of the Demon God King!? Is it that Demon God King on the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Races who could easily swallow mountains of corpses and seas of blood!?
