Supreme Sword Sovereign

Chapter 44 – Fire Spirit Body? That's exactly the Fire Spirit Body!

"Unexpected."

Realizing Gu Han's formidable strength, Fatty had an epiphany.

"This bastard actually reached the Extreme Realm? No wonder he can stand toe-to-toe with me now. Tsk, tsk, to achieve such a feat in this godforsaken place, he's quite the talent!"

"Fatty... Brother."

Jiang Feng pretended not to hear Fatty's insult towards Gu Han, his curiosity piqued.

"May I ask, what is the Extreme Realm?"

"Right."

Mei Yun, standing nearby, also showed a face full of eagerness to learn.

"What is the Extreme Realm?"

"Heh heh."

Fatty stood with his hands behind his back, exuding an aura of profound depth and towering strength.

"The Extreme Realm, well, it's not some big secret. Of course, with your limited experience and insight, it's normal not to know. Listen well, the so-called Extreme Realm..."

Before finishing, he didn't forget to take a few more digs at Gu Han.

"Judging by the thickness of his Spiritual Power, he's clearly reached the Extreme Realm of the Qi Condensation Stage. However, he can only strut around in this little place. Of course, he's more than enough to deal with that half-baked Fire Spirit Body."

After the explanation, the two listeners were filled with longing.

"Didn't expect that."

Mei Yun chuckled bitterly.

"Just the Extreme Realm of the Qi Condensation Stage is so perilous, what about after that... Eh? That's not right!"

Mid-sentence, he suddenly realized something, staring at Fatty with suspicion.

"I just saw your jade token, you're He Zheng from Fandeng City, right? How... how..."

He wanted to say.

Are you the Instructor, or am I the Instructor?

How do you know more than me?

"Don't make a fuss."

Fatty casually made up a story.

"There's an ancient book in my family, it records many strange tales, I read it from there."

"Fatty Brother."

Jiang Feng became interested.

"May I take a look at it?"

"Gone."

Fatty spread his hands.

"Bored a few years ago, I burned it with a fire..."

Jiang Feng: ...

At this moment.

The battle in the arena had reached a fever pitch!

Boom!

Boom!

...

The clash of Spiritual Power continued, and the sturdy bluestone ground crumbled like paper in the face of the rampant Spiritual Power. The figures of the fighters were already obscured by endless dust, and aside from the three Instructors, no one else could see clearly.

"Didn't expect..."

Within the dust.

"You actually have such strength!"

"It seems."

Gu Han's tone was slightly mocking.

"Your Fire Spirit Body isn't very useful, is it?"

At this moment.

His cultivation level burst forth, forcing Jiang Hong's fiery red Spiritual Power to retreat, leaving him almost powerless to resist.

However.

Under that terrifying fiery intent, his body also suffered numerous burns.

"Hmph!"

It was then that Jiang Hong realized Gu Han's prowess, and his regard for him rose several levels.

"Not useful?"

"You won't be saying that soon!"

Roar!

As his words fell, a roar filled with wild fury suddenly came from within him!

With the roar, Jiang Hong's fiery red Spiritual Power seemed to undergo a transformation, as if it had come to life, instantly climbing onto the spear in his hands!

In the blink of an eye!

A creature, half a zhang long and somewhat blurry in shape, appeared before Gu Han!

It was...

A fire dragon!

"Die!"

Empowered by the fire dragon, Jiang Hong's momentum surged, his spear piercing through Gu Han's Spiritual Power suppression. The fierce spear tip, with the fire dragon's red eyes and intense fiery intent nearly flowing out, lunged at Gu Han's throat!

"What is this roar... what is it!"

"Why do I feel the temperature rising!"

"This is... the Crown Prince's trump card!"

Someone who seemed to know some inside information was excited.

"The Crown Prince was born with a Fire Spirit Body, and a senior from the upper sects specially found him a high-grade Mysterious Rank technique called the Fire Dragon Technique! Never thought... I'd have the fortune to witness it today!"

"Fire Dragon Technique?"

"Wow, look at that momentum... who could withstand it!"

...

The crowd buzzed with discussion, their eyes fixed on the scene ahead.

The Crown Prince had played his trump card.

This person... was doomed to fail!

"What should we do?"

Elsewhere.

Minister Wu was clearly worried about Jiang Hong's murderous intent, "This young man has reached the Extreme Realm, a rare genius indeed. With him, our Great Qi Dynasty... has a much better chance in the competition between the Martial Academies! Such a talent must not be lost!"

"You're right."

Minister Feng also felt a sense of appreciation for talent.

"If he loses later, we'll intervene to save his life... Huh? What's this!"

Before he could finish, his expression changed dramatically!

He had already gathered his divine sense and could naturally capture that sharp aura that suddenly appeared on the battlefield!

This...

Seemed like Sword Qi!

"Bad!"

Commander Zhou, who had been calm all along, suddenly showed a ripple of concern.

"The Crown Prince is in danger!"

As he spoke, his figure flashed out!

...

"Roar!"

The fire dragon roared again, mere feet away from Gu Han!

Seeing the demoralized crowd, Commander Zhou frowned deeply.

"This matter... Huh? Who dares to barge into our Martial Academy!"

Mid-sentence.

His expression turned cold as he suddenly looked into the distance.

The next moment.

A figure approached at high speed, appearing before everyone.

"Who are you!"

Commander Zhou was about to question when he was abruptly cut off.

"I was sent by the Murong innkeeper!"

A sentence.

Blocked Commander Zhou's next words.

"Qian Steward?"

Seeing the newcomer, Gu Han's heart skipped a beat.

"Why are you here?"

"Young man!"

Qian Liu looked anxious.

"That Ah-Sha Girl, something's happened!"

"What!"

Gu Han, who was usually calm in the face of adversity, suddenly changed his expression, his voice trembling.

"She... Never mind! I'll go back and see!"

Before he finished speaking.

He was already running off into the distance.

Seeing this.

Qian Liu immediately followed, and as for the rest of the people at the scene, he didn't even bother to glance at them.

"Tsk tsk."

Fatty pursed his lips.

"Who's this guy, talking so arrogantly!"

"Watch your words!"

Mei Yun was startled and quickly pulled him aside, whispering an explanation.

The Murong Family?

Fatty was even more disdainful.

When it came to backing, Fatty had never been afraid of anyone!

On the side.

Jiang Feng's brow was furrowed.

What exactly happened to that Ah-Sha Girl...

...

"Crown Prince."

Commander Zhou looked at the somewhat dazed Jiang Hong.

"You..."

"I'm going to find Uncle Master Du!"

Jiang Hong suddenly spoke up, a strong sense of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

"Old Du?"

Commander Zhou was taken aback.

"He..."

"A few days ago, Uncle Master secretly arrived in the Capital."

"What! Old Du came to the Capital? Why, the Capital is just a small place to him..."

"This is Master's arrangement."

Jiang Hong shook his head.

"I can't tell you the specifics, but after leaving the Martial Academy, I will seek elixirs from him and strive to break through to the Yuan Gathering Realm! In the Martial Academy trial half a month from now... I will personally reclaim this humiliation!"

Losing to Gu Han.

His reputation and pride had been greatly damaged, and controlling the Martial Academy was now much more difficult than before!

The only solution.

Was to face Gu Han again in front of everyone, defeat him directly, or even kill him, to regain the face he lost today!

...

Commander Zhou wanted to say more but stopped.

At this moment, everyone failed to notice that his palm, which had caught Gu Han's Sword Qi, was already mangled...

Only he knew best just how strong Gu Han, who possessed the Extreme Realm, truly was.

He...

Did not favor Jiang Hong's chances!

...

In the distance.

Seeing the stricken Jiang Hong.

Ministers Wu and Feng exchanged glances, overjoyed.

Defeating the Crown Prince.

Possessing the Extreme Realm.

Even his swordsmanship was extraordinary.

Such a talent was not only Mei Yun's precious jewel but also the Martial Academy's!

"This young man has great prospects!"

"Indeed! With him here, it is a fortune for our Martial Academy!"

"Hehe, perhaps... he has a chance to confront that monster from the Great Chu!"

"Indeed, there's a good chance! But... leaving him with Mei Yun, isn't that a bit hasty?"

...

As they spoke.

A sudden thought crossed their minds, going against the rules of the Martial Academy, to snatch Gu Han from Mei Yun's hands.

After all, the reputation of the Unlucky Person was too loud; if such a rare genius was also ruined, wouldn't that be a tremendous loss?

At this moment.

In a corner of the Martial Academy.

"Hehe."

After enjoying the spectacle, the old handyman picked up his broom again and continued to sweep the fallen leaves.

"Interesting little fellow."

"Too bad, too bad, you're not the one I'm looking for."

...

In the Heavenly Grade Room.

Murong Chuan stood with his hands behind his back, lost in thought.

Strange!

Too strange!

At that moment.

The prohibitions in the outer room fluctuated for an instant, but it was Gu Han who had hurried back without stopping.

"Ah-Sha!"

Seeing the scene before him.

His heart chilled by half.
