Chapter 79 - Invite

Ling Wugou: Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Jie surrenders. Blue Wind Imperial Family's Dennell Jean wins! He will advance to tomorrow's Grand Finals!

However, the atmosphere was completely different from the ones of before, because everyone was able to see Ling Jie's bravery and strength. And an applause rang out from the edges of the Sword Discourse Arena. It initially started out with a few, before spreading to a small area, to a larger area…

Eventually, nearly everyone including a few sect elders stood up and praised with loud applause.

After Ling Wugou announced the results of the match, and cheers rang throughout the arena, Jean's face did not reveal any excitement. Instead, he silently stared at the half of his Overlord's Colossal Sword in his hands with a smile. The half that was in his hands was already filled with cracks.

Jean: I think it's time to sleep for you…

He knelt down and carefully picked up the broken pieces, and kept them in the Sky Poison Pearl. Ling Jie had overused his profound strength and had to be supported by Jean down the Sword Discourse Arena.

At that point, Ling Kun, who usually was very silent, stood up from his seat and looked at him. Although his actions could be considered unnoticeable on the gigantic Sword Discourse Arena, everyone present turned to him as if attracted by an unknown aura and subconsciously watched him.

Ling Kun: Young man, you are called Dennell Jean?

Jean's footsteps stopped for a moment and turned around, before nodding and speaking with humbleness, this time it wasn't the right moment to act arrogant, the other party could kill him, unless he uses a bullet from the sniper right in the head, and his current Schrift didn't helped him.

Jean: Yes, I am Dennell Jean. I wonder what Senior Ling wishes to say anything to me.

Ling Kun: You are currently a disciple of the Profound Palace set up by the Blue Wind Empire's Imperial Family, right?

Jean: Yes.

Ling Kun: Well, are you interested to join our Mighty Heavenly Sword Region?

Everyone was incredibly stunned from that declaration, and everyone's eyes fell on Jean in shock, envy, amazement, jealousy and disbelief.

Ling Jie: Boss, Mighty Heavenly Sword Region! The Mighty Heavenly Sword Region! That's a Sacred Ground! You're so great. Boss is really too great!

Jean, however, wasn't surprised, this could have happened sooner or later.

Jean: Many thanks to Senior Ling for thinking so highly of this junior. However, this junior is currently still a disciple of the Blue Wind Profound Palace, even if I would leave soon, I wished to travel around the continent to experience many things, for I don't wish to stay in a single place.

But, after I ended my journey, I may accept Senior Ling's request.

Jean's answer was completely out of everyone's expectation. Everyone stared at him and wondered if he had gone insane…

Being invited by Mighty Heavenly Sword Region was something that people did not even dare to dream about, and he actually rejected it! Instead, he was willing to make a journey around the world that could even kill him! This was a reply only an idiot or lunatic would make.

But Ling Kun just laughed and said.

Ling Kun: Hahahaha, good! Even though you are young, you are not arrogant, nor are you impatient. You are not flustered, nor are you rash. This is indeed rare. The reason I want to bring you into Mighty Heavenly Sword Region is not because of the talent you displayed.

Although your talent is considered monstrous in this country, in the Sacred Grounds, it is considered slightly more than average. The reason I want to bring you in is because of the beautiful way you handle the heavy sword…

If you could do it, becoming an elder-ranked figure of the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region is not unlikely.

Jean: I see, but my answer will be the same, even if I would join the sacred grounds now, I would be busy and not be able to conclude some of my unfinished business.

Ling Kun: Good! I admire your personality. If that is the case, I shall not force you. Here, take this!

Then Ling Kun gave Jean a piece of a deep purple colored jade stone.

Ling Kun: This is a special Sound Transmission Stone that is able to communicate with me as long as we are within a distance of a hundred fifty kilometers. If you eventually decide to join our Mighty Heavenly Sword Region, drop me a message.

I will guide you to us and bring you to meet the Venerable Sword Master. I believe the Venerable Sword Master would be immensely interested in how you handle the heavy sword.

Jean nodded in gratitude and left to his seat, he could really try to join there, it will depend on what his level will be when he will finish his journey. Yes, he really planned to go in one once he finished his things, a journey that will last at least 1 year and half, because after that he will return to Xiao Lingxi, he still remembered his promise with her.

Qin Wushang: Jean, why would you surrender the chance of entering the Mighty Heavenly Sword Region? To even refuse such a land of dreams, you must have some extremely important reasons, right?

Then he winked at Cang Yue, who froze and started to gently smiling as a hint of moisture swelled up within her eyes.

Qin Wushang: It really doesn't sound like something said by a young man of your age.

Jean: Haha, it might be.

Fen Juechen: Hey Jean, is it true that you will leave soon?

That question made everyone freeze of their spot and turn towards Jean, who nodded.

Jean: Yes, I planned to leave the Blue Wind Empire for 1 year and half, after that, I will be back. I am curious about the things that are out there, since my knowledge was confined to just the Floating Cloud City just 1 year and half ago.

Fen Juechen: ...Can I follow you, Jean?

Jean: Huh?

Fen Juechen: I don't know why, but wherever you are interesting things happen, I want to feel that sensation too, the adventure, I don't want to be closed somewhere in seclusion.

Jean: 'Kiddo, that is called Plot Armor.'

Cang Yue: Yes, I want to come too! I'm not going to leave Jean alone, god knows what will happen if left to his own devices...

Everyone: Huh?!

Jean placed an hand in his head for a small headache and sighed.

Jean: We will see when we will turn back to the Profound Palace and I finished my things, after that, we will talk together about it.

Fen Juechen and Cang Yue nodded. And then, the second match started, this time Jean watched it. Ling Yun and Xia Qingyue were on the arena, looking at each other.

Ling Yun: Heavenly Sword Villa's Disciple, Ling Yun, asks for Xia Fairy's guidance.

Xia Qingyue didn't answer.

Ling Wugou: Second match of the Semifinals, Heavenly Sword Villa's Ling Yun, against Frozen Cloud Asgard's Xia Qingyue, battle start!!
