Chapter 91 Flying knife · The Eve of the Trial Test

Of course, good things were not cheap either.

The light protective clothing Ding Hao had selected had a total value of about 400kg gold, which was an incredible treasure for ordinary people.

A martial artist was indeed an extremely costly career.

“Master, would you like to buy some spare swords?” Linghu Yingying suggested with a smile. “As far as I know, every time when the disciples of your sect go out for training, they will encounter some troubles. The demon’s claws can tear apart long swords and steel knives, so you’d better buy some spare weapons for emergencies.”

Ding Hao shook his head.

The change of his rusted sword showed that its quality was extraordinary. Besides, the dragon-shaped blood knife presented by Martial Uncle Cheng Fei after he had won the game was also a tough and extremely sharp weapon. These two were enough. There was no need to waste money on other weapons.

“You seem to know a lot about the experience of our Sect?” Ding Hao asked curiously.

“Because every time there is a large-scale Sect experience, our business here will be much better, and after the experience, some people will come to Cauldron-forging Hall with broken swords to repair. I started working here at the age of 10 and have worked here for six years, so I’ve heard a lot of experience stories.”

Linghu Yingying said with a red face.

“Oh my God, this young man is really charming when he smiles.” Linghu Yingying said to herself in her heart.

Ding Hao was able to captivate so many female registered disciples of the five academies, and it was said that even some senior sisters of the outer gate were obsessed with him after watching the five academies competition. His charm was amazing. Linghu Yingying was only a small shopping guide. She stood near Ding Hao. Naturally, she was invaded by Ding Hao’s strange charm. She flushed and her heart was beating quickly.

“Hey! Brother Ding Hao, you are here too.” There was a sudden loud exclamation.

Ding Hao turned his head and saw Xiao Chengxuan, Li Canyang, and Li Yiluo. They also came to the store to buy weapons with a lot of bags. Obviously, they were also preparing for the trial test. The man who talked to Ding Hao was Xiao Chengxuan, a boy with big eyes and bushy eyebrows.

Compared with his first encounter at the edge of the Sword-cleansing Pond, Xiao Chengxuan’s strength had greatly increased. At this time, he had reached the peak level of the two-apertured Martial Disciple Realm. He had good qualifications. He might have been practicing hard these days.

Liu Canyang, who wanted to compete with Ding Hao before, also made big progress. He was already at the beginning of three-apertured Martial Disciple Realm. At this time, he also greeted Ding Hao with a smile.

However, Li Yiruo, the beautiful young girl of the five academies who wore a white tunic skirt as stunning as a fairy, stared at Ding Hao unfriendly. She took a glimpse of Ding Hao and Linghu Yingying, snorted coldly, and turned away without saying anything.

The male disciples who were secretly watching Li Yiruo felt a sense of relief when they saw that. Great, it seemed that the beautiful lady, the first female killer of the five academies, was not interested in senior brother Ding Hao, so they still had a chance to win her heart.

Ding Hao shook his head and said hello to Xiao Chengxuan and Liu Canyang.

“Western academy in red shirts will also have a trial test three days later. Take care of yourselves!”

“I’ve heard that this trial test is arranged by the elders from Drill Hall of the inner gate. Our Sect attaches great importance to it. Not only the disciples of the five academies will attend, but the top 20 mysterious blood disciples in the general list will attend too.” After having talked for a while, the three said goodbye to Ding Hao. “Senior brother Ding, since you are the first man in the five academies competition, you will certainly display your skill to the full. Take care!”

Linghu Yingying, the lovely sales girl, was near them. She was surprised by their words.

Until now, she knew that this gentle and seemingly friendly young man was the young man, Ding Hao, who was the most talked-about by the guests these days.

No wonder the boss regarded this young man with special respect.

In terms of her boss, he might have known that Ding Hao had a bright future, so he was trying to make friends as early as possible. If he could make friends with a genius who was likely to enter the core of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect in the future, let alone the loss of 30% discount, the boss was willing to give Ding Hao all the goods he wanted for free.

...

“Yiruo, why are you so cold to senior brother Ding? Haven’t you been murmuring his name these days?” As they went out of Cauldron-forging Hall, Li Canyang asked curiously with a smile.

Li Yiluo stamped and retorted, “Cousin, what are you talking about? When did I talk about that bastard’s name? Huff! I felt sick when I saw him staring at the shopping guide girl with lustful eyes. Hum!”

“Haha, you’re wrong about senior brother Ding,” Xiao Chengxuan said, winking and making signs to her. “It’s the shopping girl who lustfully stared at senior brother Ding. Well, maybe someone is jealous, I think?”

“That’s just bullshit! I won’t be jealous. No man deserves my jealousy, huh.” The hot-tempered girl replied hurriedly. The dirty words she had said showed her hot temper.

Xiao Chengxuan and Li Canyang laughed.

The three men were followed by many male disciples who were obsessed with Li Yiluo, but they did not dare to speak with her.

...

When Wang Xiaoqi and Zhang Fan satisfactorily returned with their respective protective clothing and weapons, Ding Hao also ended his purchase.

In addition to the set of light steel armor, Ding Hao chose a set of flying daggers, a kind of hidden weapon.

As a matter of fact, Ding Hao was not proficient in any hidden weapons. The reason why he spent 50kg gold to choose this set of 36 small flying knives was roughly due to the extremely sensational slogan of “As Li Xunhuan throws his flying knives, he must hit the targets.”(Li Xunhuan was a character in “Xiao Li Fei Dao”, a novel created by Gu Long who was as famous as Louis Cha). If he could practice the unique skill of flying knife, he would be extremely popular.

At the same time, Linghu Yingying, the shopping guide lady, said seditiously, “My boss seldom makes such a generous 30% discount, and it is definitely a disadvantage for you not to purchase as possible as you can today”. Ding Hao then bought a lot of things.

Of course, in Ding Hao’s subconscious, he bought that because Zhang Fan chose bow and arrow before; he suddenly realized that mastering a hidden weapon skill might be useful in a critical moment.

“The weapons and armors you three have bought were 1,750kg gold, and if they were converted into Dark Stones, it would be a total of 35 Lower Grade Dark Stones.” Linghu Yingying calculated and said with a smile.

“We don’t have Dark Stones, let’s calculate it in gold.” Ding Hao laughed.

Dark Stone was a precious crystal containing the energy of Qi. It could be used by martial artists to absorb the energy to increase their cultivations. A Lower Grade Dark Stone was worth 50kg gold. Compared with gold, Dark Stone would not depreciate. It could play the role of universal equivalent and was more popular with martial artists and the superpowers. It was regarded as a hard currency above gold.
