Chapter 302 - A Nobleman's Weapon the Nine Solitary Swords
Soong Wan perked up at the commotion behind her and Jiang Hao's words, a wave of delight washing over her.
The crowd around them began to egg them on.
“Say yes, say yes!”
Amidst the rousing cheers, a bashful Soong Wan turned to see Jiang Hao's gesture and the item he was holding, her heart leaping with joy.
Her keen eyes immediately discerned the value of the object in Jiang Hao's hands.
Seeing Jiang Hao's grin, she realized his antics were intentional, crafted to surprise her.
Now, as she gazed at Jiang Hao on bended knee, she bashfully found herself too shy to meet his gaze.
“Okay!”
Her voice was a mere whisper, like that of a mosquito. Had Jiang Hao's hearing not been so sharp, he might have missed it.
Jiang Hao's mischievous smile widened as he asked loudly, “What was that?”
Soong Wan stamped her foot in feigned annoyance, rolling her eyes before lunging into Jiang Hao's embrace and exclaiming, “I said yes, you big jerk!”
The onlookers erupted into cheers, followed by hearty laughter and a chorus of whistles.
……
Now officially a couple, Jiang Hao and Soong Wan wandered hand in hand, exploring the area.
When they came upon a shop selling various art pieces, Soong Wan glanced at Jiang Hao and sensed something was amiss.
She browsed through the art, picking up a folding fan, then a knife, but nothing seemed quite right.
Finally, her eyes sparkled as she picked up a sword that seemed perfect.
She paid for it and, sword in hand, ran over to Jiang Hao, offering it to him.
“Brother Hao, the sword is the nobleman's choice, and I think it's the perfect fit for you!”
Jiang Hao, looking at the sword Soong Wan presented, was torn between laughter and tears.
But it was a gift from Soong Wan, and he graciously accepted it.
Just as he took the sword from her, a sudden alert from the system chimed in.
“Ding! An unopened, low-grade alloy sword has been detected. Would you like to disassemble it?”
Jiang Hao came to an abrupt stop, a surge of excitement washing over him.
“Disassemble!”
With Jiang Hao's command, the sword gifted by Soong Wan rapidly dulled in sheen.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for disassembling a low-grade alloy sword. You've acquired the Nine Solitary Swords skill, gained 1.5 skill points, and 1.5 experience points!”
Nine Solitary Swords (Level 1 (0/10)): A formidable sword technique that anticipates the enemy's moves, allowing one to triumph without even executing a single move!
“Disassembly complete. Would you like to extract?”
“Nine Solitary Swords?”
Hearing the skill he had gained from disassembly, Jiang Hao was initially stunned, then a wave of elation hit him.
The Nine Solitary Swords!
Isn't this the legendary technique of the Sword Demon, Dugu Qiubai, from the wuxia novels?
Moreover, those who have mastered the Nine Solitary Swords are no ordinary individuals!
This is a sword technique on par with Lee's Flying Knife, a supreme martial art!
In his joy, Jiang Hao spun around and scooped Soong Wan into his arms, exclaiming loudly.
“Wan'er, you truly are my lucky star!”
Soong Wan, puzzled but noticing the many onlookers, shyly punched Jiang Hao twice.
“What are you doing? Put me down—people are watching!”
“Haha, let them look! It's not a crime to hug my girlfriend!”
Despite his words, Jiang Hao gently set Soong Wan back on her feet.
Then, hand in hand, they made their way to a noodle shop and settled in, Jiang Hao eager to assimilate the newly acquired Dugu Jiujian.
