Over a hundred people excitedly went forward. Just as they greeted Zhao Yu and the others, they noticed a dense crowd of people walking over behind them.
The students were very excited to see a living person outside the school and started talking at once.
Zhao Yu was still fine. He had already guessed this kind of thing. He only saw the excitement of the crowd and understood the background of the other party. After listening for a moment, he roughly understood the situation These people were the staff and guests of the event venue called the ’Huashan Sword Seminar’. They had transmigrated along with the entire event venue building. There were about a thousand people in the direction to the right of Rong Fu Supermarket, who, like them, had also crossed over yesterday.
“Xue Ling?!”
At that moment, a crisp voice sounded from above.
Zhao Yu was startled and looked up, only to see several figures descending from the sky and landing on the ground.
Deng Xue Ling looked towards one of the women, slightly startled before joyfully exclaiming, “Principal Ji, you’re here too?!”
Principal Ji?!
Zhao Yu’s eyes widened in surprise, thinking to himself how coincidental this was.
Deng Xue Ling had just mentioned her idol was someone named Ji Wu Shuang and now… 5’
“It’s really you!”
Ji Wu Shuang, who looked in her twenties, seemed mature beyond her years.
She patted Deng Xue Ling’s head affectionately, like an elder to a younger one. TO Zhao Yu’s surprise, Deng Xue Ling, who usually appeared passionate on the outside but was actually quite aloof, blushed and revealed a sweet, naive smile. Although the two groups began conversing, many people were observant. Ordinary students talked with ordinary people, while around Ji Wu Shuang and Zhao Yu, there were hardly any ordinary people, the least of whom were fifth-time enhancers.
After some conversation, Zhao Yu learned that the other group had also experienced monster attacks the previous night.
Nearly four hundred had died, but the gains were also significant. Masters of sword duels like Ji Wu Shuang, after becoming enhancers, had seen a rapid increase in strength, slaying countless monsters.
Zhao Yu was excited too. He had been thinking about acquiring martial arts techniques from others.
And now Ji Wu Shuang had arrived.
After Deng Xue Ling introduced him, he got to know Ji Wu Shuang and others. Apart from her, there were several others, all carrying long swords and clearly the successors of various ancient martial arts sword schools.
Zhao Yu, with a beaming smile, said, “Principal Ji, we’ve just met, I have long admired your reputation!”
Ji Wu Shuang glanced at Deng Xue Ling, seeing her look guilty and understanding that this little fan must have been praising her everywhere. She smiled slightly, “You flatter me…”
“Principal Ji, I wonder, does your school still accept disciples? I’ve always admired ancient martial arts but haven’t found a way to learn…”
Ji Wu Shuang’s smile faded, and her expression turned serious as she spoke earnestly, “If you want to learn ordinary swordsmanship, you can learn from Deng Xue Ling. I’ve taught her almost everything that can be taught in the secular world…”
“As for ancient martial arts, I’m sorry. Our family’s secret techniques cannot be taught to outsiders!”
Her tone was filled with an undeniable attitude.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yu could only show a look of regret while turning his gaze towards the others who had descended from the sky with Ji Wu Shuang. From his previous conversation with Deng Xue Ling, he knew that these people from ancient martial families were quite proud.
Although their practical fighting skills were not as refined as modern combat techniques, birds of a feather flock together, and only those from similar ancient martial families could really connect with them.
“We too have learned arts passed down within our families, which cannot be taught to outsiders…”
Several people around also shook their heads in agreement.
In this world, with the increased effectiveness of ancient martial arts, they knew such skills should not be passed on lightly.
“It seems I’m not destined for ancient martial arts!”
Zhao Yu sighed deeply, hoping he might encounter some less traditional ancient martial arts successors in the future.
At this moment, students from the rear of the group, having heard about the encounter with other humans, rushed forward to see.
This included Xiao Xiao Long, who had been deliberately walking at the back of the group.
When he saw a certain girl next to Ji Wu Shuang, his eyes lit up.
“Pui!” “Pui!” He wiped his palms and combed his hair back.
Then, Xiao Xiao Long displayed an unusually obsequious demeanor.
“Ting Ting, is that you?!”
The girl turned her head upon hearing this and was startled to see Xiao Xiao Long, exclaiming, “You?!”
Apart from her, there was also a young man who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old who noticed Xiao Xiao Long.
The conversation between Zhao Yu, Ji Wu Shuang, and others came to a halt as they too noticed the trio who seemed to know each other.
From Ji Wu Shuang’s introduction, Zhao Yu learned that the girl’s name was Pan Yi Ting, a descendant of an ancient martial family. She had gone to Mount Hua to compete in a sword duel to gain experience, accompanied by her elder relative.
The young man with her was named Huo Zhen Wu, somewhat related to Pan Yi Ting. They usually called each other cousins and were both descendants of ancient martial arts families.
A love triangle?!
Nope!
Zhao Yu noticed that Pan Yi Ting, upon seeing Xiao Xiao Long, only showed surprise and did not display any affectionate demeanor.
This indicated that perhaps Xiao Xiao Long’s feelings were unrequited. On the contrary, Pan Yi Ting’s cousin, Huo Zhen Wu, looked at Xiao Xiao Long as if he was ready to explode.
“Is ‘Ting Ting’ a name you can address her?!”
Huo Zhen Wu stepped in front of Pan Yi Ting with a complex expression excitement flickering in his eyes, “Xiao Xiao Long, I never expected to see you hdrol” •’
