Chapter 306: Chapter 306: Senior Brother?

After traveling for several more days, Shi Hao was certain he had shaken off his pursuers.

He stopped and took a brief rest in the mountains.

The big yellow dog scampered off to look for food, and Shi Hao wondered if it would have the decency to bring something back for him.

"Breaking through to the Other Shore Realm has significantly improved my strength, but it hasn’t undergone a qualitative change because when I advanced those ten steps, I was essentially already at the Other Shore Realm," Shi Hao began to assess his own strength.

Knowing oneself and knowing the other can make one invincible in a hundred battles.

"As for strength, it’s only about equal to six islands."

—If someone heard his statement, they would surely roll their eyes at him.

You, being at one island, have the strength comparable to six islands, and yet you say ’only’?

But Shi Hao didn’t find this strange—his cultivation of the Nine Revolutions Sky-Plundering Scripture surpassed all other multi-star cultivation techniques, and he had already broken the limits of major realms twice, so wasn’t it quite normal that he was much more powerful than a typical Other Shore powerhouse?

"My Soul Power has also made significant progress, extending the affected area to seven Zhang."

"However, the weight I can manipulate with it is still less than ideal."

"It seems this will have to be combined with the Weight Reducing Rune."

"I haven’t yet crafted the deep blue blood crystal, and always using stones mean that they are single-use, which takes too long to make."

"Hmm, first I need to find a place to turn the deep blue blood crystals into several small swords."

"Also, Yuan Chengmie had a unique Soul Technique that could only be utilised at the Other Shore Realm. In his memories, this was a creation he was extremely proud of."

"It’s called... the Dark Thrust Sword."

As Shi Hao focused his Soul Power and applied the technique, a miraculous scene occurred—his Soul Power actually materialized in front of his forehead, forming a short sword that was nearly transparent and seemed to be tinted with a layer of black light, giving it a metallic texture.

"Yuan Chengmie had a Metal Spirit Root, so he could amalgamate the Gold Element with Soul Power to create this half-spirit, half-element sword."

"My Soul Power can interact with any element, so this is quite easy for me."

"Go!" He pointed forward, and instantly, the black sword flew out, circled a large tree, and boom, the tree was suddenly cut down by the sword.

"Go! Go! Go!" With each command from Shi Hao, the black sword danced through the forest, and bang bang bang, trees fell one after another, raising clouds of dust.

Awesome, this exceeded the limit of seven Zhang for Soul Power and expanded it to ten Zhang!

Boom, another tree fell, but unexpectedly, a person emerged from behind it.

Shi Hao’s thoughts shifted, and the Dark Thrust Sword immediately dissipated.

He looked toward the person and saw an elder dressed in coarse linen clothes, appearing extremely plain.

Yet... this person was very powerful—although his aura was restrained, the faint traces he emitted were chillingly strong.

A powerhouse from the Founding King Court!

Shi Hao suddenly felt a chill in his heart, realizing that if such a strong person attacked him, he wouldn’t even have a chance to escape.

Could it be... Luo Hun?

However, he was surprised to find that the elder’s eyes were tearful, and his expression was so agitated that he looked like he was about to burst into tears.

What’s going on?

"How could you... use the Dark Thrust Sword?" the elder finally spoke, "Who taught you this?"

His face was filled with longing, even a kind of panic, as if he couldn’t accept an unexpected answer.

This guy is definitely not Luo Hun.

Shi Hao’s thoughts whirled in his mind, but only a moment later, he spoke, "This man’s surname is Yuan!"

Instantly, tears burst from the elder’s eyes.

"Junior brother! Junior brother!" he rushed over and hugged Shi Hao tightly.

Uh... So this person was Yuan Chengmie’s disciple?

"Where is Master now? How is the old man’s health?" the elder asked, then immediately smacked his forehead, "Look at me, I forgot to introduce myself! I am called Han Liren, a nominal disciple of Master. Once when Master briefly wandered through the Eastern Fire Continent, he guided me for a while, and after that, I never saw Master again."

Boom, a certain memory in Shi Hao suddenly unlocked, belonging to Yuan Chengmie, buried in a corner of his mind, now triggered, it finally emerged in Shi Hao’s consciousness.

Just as Han Liren had said, he was a nominal disciple of Yuan Chengmie, his talents weren’t considered very good, and after Yuan taught him for a while, he couldn’t be bothered to make him an official disciple and thus left abruptly.

It was because they had spent some time together that Han Liren could recognize the Dark Thrust Sword, which was one of Yuan Chengmie’s proudest techniques.

Shi Hao pondered for a moment and then said, "Master has already passed away."

In a sense, he indeed could be considered a disciple of Yuan Chengmie, and furthermore, he was the inheritor of his mantle.

Upon hearing this, Han Liren seemed as if struck by lightning.

"Master!" He knelt on the ground and wailed loudly.

This indeed was a man of passion, Shi Hao noted to himself.

"How could Master, a genius nullifying nature’s course, possibly die?" After a while, Han Liren finally stopped, turned to Shi Hao with a face full of tears, and didn’t even bother to wipe them away.

Shi Hao said, "Master went to explore an ancient relic, looking for the method to ascend to a true immortal, but unfortunately triggered a restriction, destroying his physical body, and only his lingering spirit managed to escape before he finally dissipated."

This made Han Liren believe without question, because originally Yuan Chengmie had come to the Eastern Fire Continent also because he was exploring various ancient relics, searching for the path to immortality, thus it was not abrupt for Yuan to have dissipated in this manner.

Han Liren sighed deeply, "Not only was Master’s martial arts talent unparalleled in the world, but his talents were astonishing. Whether it was Alchemy Dao, Array Path, Tool Path and so on, he dabbled in them all, and even achieved great mastery."

Shi Hao deeply agreed with this, being the inheritor of all these, he understood Yuan Chengmie’s versatility far more than Han Liren did.

"Are you Master’s last official disciple?" Han Liren asked.

"Yes."

Han Liren nodded, "Master even passed the Dark Thrust Sword on to you, indicating that you are indeed Master’s chosen successor! Although I am older than you, I am only a nominal disciple, and my status is lower than that of an official disciple."

"So, if you have any commands, just let me know."

He said earnestly, without any of the airs of a Founding King Court’s almighty.

Shi Hao pondered for a moment and said, "As the elder brother, how can I give orders to you? However, if I ever need your help, I definitely won’t hesitate."

"Hahaha, good!" Although Han Liren, out of respect for his master, was willing to put Shi Hao above himself, he was still from the Founding King Court and was significantly older, naturally having his own pride. Seeing Shi Hao so humble and reserved made him even more pleased.

Master truly accepted a good disciple!

"Junior brother, I have established a small sect; if you currently have no place to go, why not join me for a bit?" He extended the invitation to Shi Hao.

"Sure!" Shi Hao didn’t really have a destination in mind and didn’t mind going on a trip, but he had to wait for the big yellow dog to come back first.

"Damn kid, I finally found you!" Swoosh, just then, a figure flew out, it was the short elder who had been pursuing Shi Hao earlier.
