Chapter 24
Chapter 24
Zhang Tianwen and Su Yun frowned.
“Are you guys going?” Xu Ling turned to look at Su Yun.
Su Yun shook her head.
“Then I’ll go by myself. Coincidentally, I don’t have enough money recently,” Xu Ling said with a smile, dimples appearing on her cheeks.
As she spoke, she pulled Han Zhao’s sleeve and left. “Junior Brother Han, eat another bowl with me.”
“I’ll go if you’re treating.” Han Zhao made a request.
“No problem!” Xu Ling quickly walked towards the small restaurant.
Han Zhao frowned. If he had known earlier, he would have chosen to eat later. This way, he could get a free meal.
“Hmph!” Zhang Tianwen’s expression was a little ugly.
Ever since he failed to recruit Zhao Yuantu, he had placed his attention on Xu Ling.
If he could marry Xu Ling, it would be beneficial to his future.
If Xu Ling succeeded in inheriting the family business, he would control half of the Xu family’s trading company in the future.
Even if Xu Ling failed, he could use this opportunity to rope in Zhao Yuantu.
Moreover, Xu Ling was quite pretty.
However, he did not expect Xu Ling to be as foolish as Han Zhao. He had already taken the initiative to express his goodwill, but she was still pretending.
How could this woman be so shallow?!
Other than the fact that Han Zhao was slightly more handsome than him, how could he compare to him?

If not for the fact that Han Zhao had a good relationship with Zhao Yuantu and was slightly talented in saber techniques which caught Lu Yi’s eye, he would have 10,000 ways to kill Han Zhao.
…
“Phew~ I’ve finally gotten rid of him.” Xu Ling ran into the small restaurant and let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed that it was not because she was tired physically, but mentally.
“It seems like you don’t like Zhang Tianwen very much,” Han Zhao said with a smile.
“Aren’t you the same?”
“I won’t deny that.”
“Ever since the last time, he has been pestering me. I can’t directly fall out with him. I have no choice.” Xu Ling was a little helpless.
“Last time?” Han Zhao was stunned.
“It was that time…” Xu Ling’s small and fair ears turned red.
“Oh!” Han Zhao suddenly understood and looked down at Xu Ling’s chest.
“He stares at me every day, making me have goosebumps all over. I’ve been wearing a few more undergarments recently. You haven’t been coming to the martial arts school recently, and he often wants to spar with me. Fortunately, Su Yun helped me block it. It’s disgusting!” Xu Ling’s eyes were murderous, revealing her sharp teeth.
“Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell him?” Han Zhao smiled.
“You won’t! I’m very good at judging people.” Xu Ling blinked. “I’ve never told Su Yun this before. I’m afraid she’ll let it slip, but Junior Brother Han, you definitely won’t betray me.”
“That’s true.” Han Zhao nodded.
“Last time…” Xu Ling suddenly leaned forward and lowered her voice, “You broke Fang Hongyun’s leg, right?”
Han Zhao was shocked and said without changing her expression, “Senior Sister Xu, don’t malign a good person!”
Xu Ling looked at Han Zhao from the corner of her eyes. The corners of her lips curled up, and she had an expression that said, “I know even if you don’t admit it.”
“In any case, I’ve wanted to hit him a few times!” Xu Ling waved her fists and said fiercely.
As she spoke, she looked at the kitchen. “Boss, give me six bowls of haggis soup!”
“Alright!” The boss replied.
Han Zhao poked Xu Ling’s shoulder.
“What?” Xu Ling turned to look at him.
Han Zhao said, “I can’t eat much.”
“I’m sorry, I forgot to order yours.” Xu Ling smiled.
She then said to the kitchen, “Boss, one more bowl! Seven bowls!”
Han Zhao was a little speechless. He sized Xu Ling up thoughtfully.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” Xu Ling pouted.
“I’m fine.” Han Zhao shook his head.
She was quite sensible. That was not surprising.
…
After another meal, Han Zhao returned home.
He took out the ‘Sword Accumulation Technique’ that he had spent 90 taels of silver to buy and flipped through it.
“This Sword Accumulation Technique does have some tricks, but it doesn’t feel complete.”
The more Han Zhao looked at it, the more shocked he became.
The Sword Accumulation Technique was divided into two parts: the Sword Nurturing Technique and the Sword Drawing Technique.
The content was also very simple. It was about how to provide essence, qi, and spirit to nurture the sword, allowing the sword to accumulate a domineering and peerless sword intent over a long period of nourishment. In the end, it would form an indestructible sword qi!
This way, when he attacked, he could release all the power he had accumulated in an instant, reaching a shocking effect.
“You’re indeed boastful. However, according to the nourishment method in the secret manual, as long as one has enough essence, qi, and spirit, it’s indeed not an exaggeration. It’s just that…”
Han Zhao frowned slightly.
The Sword Accumulation Technique had many restrictions.
Firstly, it was best to carry the sword with him at all times during the sword nurturing process. Secondly, he had to spend time every day nurturing the sword. Even if he contributed less essence, qi, and spirit, it was fine. However, he could not slack off for a day.
Lastly, he could usually draw his sword at will, but once he expended his blood qi to activate it, he would release all his strength the moment he drew his sword. After that, he would have to ‘nurture’ his sword again.
In other words, there was only the power of one strike.
However, this was not a problem for Han Zhao.
After all, if he could not defeat the enemy even if he used his saber technique and true qi, he could only rely on this Sword Drawing Technique to fight to the death.
It could be used as an ultimate move.
At this moment, Han Zhao thought of a character he had seen in a television drama in his previous life. He didn’t remember his name, but the other party had a super cool ultimate skill called the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique.
If he continued to nurture it, he did not know if this Sword Drawing Technique would really be able to cut the sky one day.
[With the savings you currently have, I guarantee that your intake of meat will not be affected. Spending two hours a day to nurture your sword nurturing will not have any obvious impact on your cultivation progress.]
A serious notification appeared.
Han Zhao thought to himself, “Looks like I’ll use a saber in normal combat in the future. I’ll use a sword if I have to risk my life.”
This way, the [Sword and Saber Duo] Trait could continue to improve.
In any case, martial artists would usually bring backup weapons. It was not special to carry a saber and a sword.
Moreover, in order to hide his identity as Song Que, every time he went out, other than using the Bone Shrinking Technique to change his appearance and figure and change into white clothes, he had even prepared two different colors for the scabbard of the Frost Saber.
When the time came, he could completely use the scabbard to store the swords. Outsiders would only think that he had brought two sabers with him. Anyway, the body of the Frost Saber was straight, so it was not a problem to store the swords.
Of course, it was best to change to another saber.
“Looks like I have to get Manor Master Zhu to forge a good sword for me and change it to a saber.” Han Zhao thought to himself.
He still had more than a hundred taels of silver on him. He would use half of his budget to customize a good sword. It should last for a period of time. After all, it would be nurtured normally.
Han Zhao locked the door and headed out of the city towards Nine Links Mountain.
Just treat it as digestion after dinner.
