Supreme Sword Sovereign

Chapter 23 – Heavenly Rank Technique!

"What... What?"

Perhaps unable to believe it, or maybe he hadn't heard clearly, Manager Li suddenly became stuttering.

"I said, I have the technique."

Gu Han repeated himself.

In an instant!

The Seventh Prince stood up abruptly, his body trembling with excitement.

"Then you..."

Beside him, Manager Li's face suddenly turned beet red.

"Can you give..."

Seeing his expression, Gu Han subconsciously let out a sigh of relief.

He knew he had won the bet. Although Manager Li was sharp-tongued and somewhat bullying by nature, he wasn't inherently bad, otherwise he wouldn't have reacted this way.

"I understand now!"

Seeing Gu Han remain silent,

Manager Li gritted his teeth, swept his sleeve, and swallowed several Beast Cores that were by the Seventh Prince's side!

In that moment,

His face turned pale.

His technique leaned towards the yin and soft, and the Beast Cores were full of fiery energy. Swallowing them rashly was naturally a great burden on his body.

"Manager Li."

The Seventh Prince sighed.

"There was no need for you to... Ah!"

"Your Highness, no more words are needed."

Manager Li looked at Gu Han, "Back then, I was humiliated like a dog. If it weren't for the Empress saving me, I wouldn't be where I am today! The Seventh Prince is the Empress's only blood, as long as I can save him, not to mention swallowing Beast Cores, even if you ask me to kneel or take my life, I would not hesitate!"

With that,

He was about to kneel!

Doctor Xue couldn't bear to watch any longer.

But since the technique belonged to Gu Han, he felt he had no right to speak and naturally couldn't persuade him.

"What I actually wanted to say."

Gu Han, with a headache, quickly stopped him.

"Even if you didn't eat the Beast Cores, I would still have given you the technique."

"You..."

Manager Li's expression froze.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"There wasn't time."

"..."

Thinking back on his own embarrassing behavior,

Manager Li wanted to die.

"Hahaha..."

On the side,

Ah-Sha, seeing his deflated appearance, laughed heartily without a care.

"Well then!"@@@@

Just as Gu Han was about to speak, Doctor Xue stood up, "The person outside must be here to see me, I can't let him wait too long."

"Senior."

Gu Han hurriedly said, "You don't have to..."

"It's fine."

Doctor Xue waved his hand.

"Completely resolving the Seventh Prince's issue also fulfills one of my long-held wishes."

Such a technique was incredibly precious.

To avoid suspicion, he found an excuse to leave.

"Alright then."

Gu Han shook his head helplessly and without further hesitation, recited the contents of the technique to the Seventh Prince without missing a word.

Nine Nether Ice Soul Art!

Ranked as a mid-level Heavenly Rank!

For a moment,

Both the Seventh Prince and Manager Li were spellbound.

"This..."

After a long while,

Manager Li turned to Gu Han, his face full of astonishment and disbelief.

"I've lived for so many years and have never seen such... such a miraculous technique, this..."

"Of course, you haven't seen it."

Gu Han declared shockingly.

"This is a Heavenly Rank technique."

Heavenly Rank!

Hiss!

Subconsciously, the two of them gasped, stunned on the spot!

Let alone Heavenly Rank.

Throughout the Great Qi Dynasty, the most precious technique was only a high-grade Mysterious Rank, accidentally obtained by the Great Qi's founding emperor, treasured by the royal family, passed down to this day, and never shown lightly to others.

As for Heavenly Rank.

Not to mention seeing it, they didn't even dare to dream of it!

At this moment,

Gu Han's image in their eyes suddenly became unfathomable.

"Brother Gu..."

The Seventh Prince suppressed the excitement in his heart.

"Yes."

Doctor Xue stroked her head, his face full of reluctance and affection, "Back then, Old Xue fled to Great Qi because of a disaster and was saved by the Seventh Prince's mother, so I stayed. When the Seventh Prince suffered from Cold Poison, I treated him, and before I knew it, twenty years had passed."

"Now that his Cold Poison is no longer a threat, Old Xue should go and do some things I've wanted to do."

Gu Han wanted to say something but stopped himself.

From the fragment of jade just now, it was clear that Doctor Xue had some secrets, but since he didn't want to say more, Gu Han naturally didn't ask.

"Girl."

Doctor Xue thought for a moment, took off a Storage Ring, and gently placed it in Ah-Sha's hand.

"Be careful, don't get yourself hurt again."

"Yes."

Ah-Sha nodded obediently.

"I'll remember!"

Seeing her expression, Doctor Xue felt a pang of pain in his heart.

If she hadn't died...

She should be a few years older than this girl.

After calming his emotions, he looked at Gu Han, "Are you heading to the Martial Academy?"

"Yes."

Gu Han nodded.

"The path of cultivation is endless. Sky Martial City is too small for me. I want to see the outside world, and it's also relatively easier to find spiritual herbs that can replenish Soul Force in the Capital."

"That's good."

Doctor Xue smiled.

"Sky Martial City is indeed too small for you, but the Capital is complex, and the Martial Academy is full of factions. You must be cautious in your actions."

"Thank you, Senior!"

Gu Han thanked him earnestly, then left with the reluctant Ah-Sha.

"The Capital."

Doctor Xue gazed at Gu Han's departing figure.

"I'm afraid even the entire Great Qi is still too small for you..."

...

In the blink of an eye,

Several days had passed.

During this time,

Gu Han casually found an inn to stay at, healed his injuries, and then set off for the Capital.

Along the way,

People's gazes towards him had completely changed.

A month ago,

He was the Gu family traitor, infamous for patricide, whom everyone wanted to strike down!

A month later,

He was the avenger of his father's death, favored by a noble from the Capital, soon to attend the Martial Academy, the number one talent of Sky Martial City!

Gu Han remained undisturbed.

After going through various trials,

His mentality had also grown rapidly.

...

At the city gate,

Gu Han happened to encounter Liu Yuan returning to the city after sending Liu Ying out, accompanied by several guards.

However,

The two did not exchange glances.

"City Lord."

Glancing at Gu Han's retreating figure, the guard captain quietly approached, "This kid is too arrogant, should your subordinate..."

"Do you want to die?"

Liu Yuan gave him a cold glance.

"Do you really think Manager Li's words that day were a joke? Our small Sky Martial City cannot afford to offend him!"

A few days ago, after Liu Ying returned and told him about her experiences, he was even more convinced that Gu Han's relationship with the Seventh Prince was far from simple.

Even though he harbored resentment,

He dared not act against Gu Han.

"Yes! Your subordinate misspoke, please punish me, City Lord!"

"It's fine."

Liu Yuan sneered.

"He thinks that by going to the Martial Academy, his future is bright? Haha, he can't even begin to imagine the dangers of the Capital!"

...

"Young Master."

Ah-Sha looked back at the darkening city walls.

"Are we not coming back?"

"Yes."

Gu Han did not turn around.

With Gu Tian gone, there was nothing left in Sky Martial City worth his attachment.

"Let's go."

Glancing at the map of the Great Qi in his hand, he gently hoisted Ah-Sha onto his back and strode forward.

Before long,

The city walls behind them were no longer visible.

"Hm?"

Suddenly,

He stopped in his tracks.

Ahead,

Several people were loitering, and upon seeing Gu Han, they quickly crowded around him, as if they had been waiting for him.
