Supreme Sword Sovereign-Chapter 68 – Terrifying Mei Yun!

Mei Yun was indeed telling the truth.

Not just him.

Han Fu, Yu Hua, Jiang Yi... the rest of the instructors had all arrived here as well.

Of course.

Yu Hua was accompanied by Jiang Hong and a few others.

Strangely enough, although Gu Han and their group could be considered sworn enemies, they were acting out of character, treating Gu Han as if he were a stranger, not even glancing at him once.

"How does it feel..."

Gu Han frowned slightly.

"Something's not quite right?"

"Bullshit!"

Fatty scoffed endlessly.

"Do you need them to chase you around the world like last time before you're satisfied? Are you sick in the head?"

As they spoke.

Yu Hua seemed to notice their gaze and turned to look at them, his eyes... surprisingly carrying a hint of a smile.

"Huh?"

Fatty's expression also became serious.

"Something is definitely off. What's he smiling about?"

"He might make a move!"

The two exchanged glances, instantly coming to a judgment.

"Don't overthink it."

Mei Yun waved his hand dismissively.

"What do you think the Martial Academy trial is? There are rules for everything! He's just an instructor, where would he get the guts? Besides, during the trial, the three deputy heads are always nearby. If he dares to make a move, hehe... he'll be the one to die!"

His words.

Gu Han didn't take them to heart at all.

"Fatty."

His gaze was deep.

"Do you think this Yu Hua deserves to die?"

"Deserves to die!"

Fatty nodded.

"He deserves it so much! Sooner or later, Fatty here... *cough cough*, will slaughter him!"

"No sooner or later!"

Gu Han seemed to have made up his mind, his eyes growing brighter.

"How about today? What do you say?"

"Holy shit?"

Fatty jumped in shock.

"Are you crazy?"

"..."

On the side.

Mei Yun was sweating bullets.

Listen to this!

Is this even human talk?

You, a mere cultivator in the Meridian Unblocking Realm, even if you have reached the Extreme Realm, to go kill a grandmaster in the Seventh level of the Spirit Profound Realm... isn't that suicide?

"Brother Gu."

Jiang Feng also advised.

"Think it over!"

"What do you say?"

Gu Han was just staring at Fatty.

"Do you dare or not?"

"Heh, if you want to go, go!"

"Fatty, I know you have a complicated background and hidden tricks, and I actually have some too. If we join forces... slaughtering him won't be a problem!"

"This..."

Fatty was somewhat tempted.

"That makes some sense."

"Keeping him around is always a disaster!"

Gu Han continued to tempt.

"Besides, last time he almost beat you to death, don't you want to get even?"

"And you have the nerve to mention that?"

Fatty bristled.

"If it weren't for you, that bastard, trapping me, would he have fixated on Fatty here?"

"Just say it!"

Gu Han was getting impatient.

"Are we doing this or not?"

"Let's do it!"

Fatty gritted his teeth.

"Let's make it clear, you can't trick me this time. If you dare, I'll join Yu Hua in taking you down!"

"..."

Gu Han was speechless.

"Don't worry."

He patted Fatty's shoulder.

"Although we haven't known each other for long, we've been through life and death together. We're brothers, with a bond as deep as hands and feet. How could I possibly trick you?"

"Don't."

Fatty pointed at Jiang Feng.

"Look at him, don't talk to me about brotherhood, it makes me sick."

Jiang Feng: ...

"You guys..."

Mei Yun was dumbfounded.

Did you not listen to a word I said?

"This is the Martial Academy trial!"

He pleaded earnestly: "You should be thinking about how to compete for first place, not... not doing these meaningless and extremely dangerous things!"

"First place?"

Gu Han was somewhat disdainful.

"Is it worth much?"

"This..."

Mei Yun was taken aback and could only smile wryly.

"Right, with over a thousand Yuan Crystals in your hands, naturally you wouldn't care about such a small reward. But even so, you shouldn't take such risks..."

"Wait!"

Gu Han's eyes lit up.

"There's a reward?"

"That... has always been the case."

"How much?"

"Two hundred... two hundred thousand Yuan Crystals, plus a Mysterious Rank mid-grade technique."

"First place!"

Gu Han's expression became serious.

"I want first place! No one better compete with me!"

At this moment.

Forget about two hundred thousand Yuan Crystals.

Even twenty thousand... was a huge sum for him.

Not to mention a Mysterious Rank mid-grade technique!

Mei Yun: ...

"Silence!"

Suddenly.

A majestic voice came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw Minister Wu and the others floating in mid-air, their bodies suspended.

"This..."

Jiang Feng was somewhat envious.

"Is this the legendary ability to fly?"

"Heh."

Fatty pursed his lips.

"A mere ability to fly, showing off for what!"

His words.

Naturally, were heard by the three.

Wu and Feng's bodies trembled, barely restraining themselves from coming down and giving him a beating.

Only Commander Zhou.

Remained expressionless, his thoughts inscrutable.

"This trial..."

After calming his emotions.

Minister Wu repeated the rules of the trial to everyone.

The Martial Academy trial was simple and brutal. A vast area was selected within the Barbaric Wilderness Forest, and low-level fierce beasts nearby, ranging from second to fourth rank, were driven into it. The students of the Martial Academy would enter and battle these demonic beasts for ten days. Whoever obtained the most and highest quality beast cores would be the ultimate winner.

Of course.

Those demonic beasts had already been marked by them.

This measure.

Was naturally to prevent cheating.

"The time has come."

After stating the rules, Minister Wu gestured grandly.

"The trial officially begins!"

Upon hearing this.

The students and instructors hurried towards the depths of the Barbaric Wilderness Forest.

Seeing the trial begin.

Wu and Feng subconsciously glanced at Gu Han.

Should they...

Perhaps...

Ask for their one million Crystals back?

But in the end.

They never brought themselves to do it.

"Cough cough..."

Minister Wu coughed lightly, "Let's just do things the old way, Commander Zhou?"

He found it strange that Commander Zhou was unusually quiet today.

"Let's go too. Although you've already scouted and there shouldn't be any accidents, we can't afford to be careless."

"Alright."

Commander Zhou nodded.

But just before leaving.

He glanced at Gu Han without a trace.

"You two."

Below.

Mei Yun looked at the two with a helpless expression.

"You really mustn't act recklessly!"

"I was just joking."

Gu Han's expression was serious.

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from ".

"I definitely won't make a move!"

Fatty repeatedly assured.

"..."

Mei Yun opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing more.

He understood.

These two were lawless and wouldn't listen to him.

"Let's go."

He sighed.

"I'll take you to the trial site first."

The three didn't move.

"Eh?"

Mei Yun realized.

"Don't worry, since last time, I feel like my bad luck has turned into good fortune!"

Trust you? No way!

The three still didn't move.

"Instructor Mei."

Fatty thought for a moment, "How about you just tell us the route, and we'll go on our own? We don't want to trouble you."

"It's no trouble."

Mei Yun insisted.

"I don't mind."

"I do!"

"..."

Mei Yun felt like crying again.

"Ah, forget it."

After a long while.

He suddenly sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "I knew it would end up like this. It seems my reputation is still so foul... If you want to go on your own, then go!"

With that.

He explained the route to the three in detail.

"Be careful with everything!"

After saying this.

He left with a look of dejection and sorrow.

"Instructor Mei..."

Gu Han felt a bit of pity.

The scene of Mei Yun supporting him by offering all his wealth resurfaced in his mind.

"How about... you take us there?"

"Eh?"

Mei Yun was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed.

"Great! Great! Great!"

Seeing his eager agreement, Gu Han also felt a bit uneasy.

Should...

Probably...

Maybe...

There won't be any problems, right?

Soon, he knew he was wrong.

***

Inside the Barbaric Wilderness Forest.

Mei Yun led the way, at the forefront.

Three meters behind him, Gu Han and Jiang Feng followed cautiously.

As for Fatty...

Muttering under his breath, he hung back thirty meters away.

But Mei Yun was already very satisfied.

As he walked, he didn't stop introducing the forest to the three.

"This Barbaric Wilderness Forest is vast beyond measure, what we see is just a corner of it..."

"Instructor Mei."

After much hesitation.

Gu Han finally asked the question that had been on his mind.

"I have a question..."

"Ask away!"

"Cough cough, your name..."

Mei Yun was taken aback.

"My master gave it to me."

"He..."

Gu Han looked puzzled.

"Why did he give you this name?"

"It's a long story."

Mei Yun chuckled.

"I was picked up by my master. Ever since I was a child, I've been extremely unlucky. Before I turned four..."

He went into great detail.

"I accidentally fell into the river six times, fell off cliffs eight times, was carried away by wild beasts thirteen times... As for broken arms and legs, choking on food and water, I can't even count how many times that happened."

The three exchanged glances.

What does it mean to have a big life?

This is what it means to have a big life!

"Later on."

Mei Yun sounded a bit wistful, "My master was somewhat worried and simply named me this. He said that extremes meet, and with such a name, maybe it could dispel the bad luck on me..."

At this point.

He was serious.

"It worked quite well, since then, I've rarely been unlucky!"

"..."

The three were speechless.

You might not be unlucky anymore, but the people around you... they're in big trouble!

"May I ask."

Jiang Feng asked cautiously, "What happened to your master in the end..."

"He."

Mei Yun seemed sad.

"He was just an ordinary mortal Taoist, guarding a broken Taoist temple. He raised me until I was a teenager, then... passed away."

Sensing the strange looks from the others.

He quickly added.

"He died a natural death!"

"At the age of ninety-two!"

Gasp!

The three were shocked, gasping in disbelief!

Died a natural death?

My goodness!

That's incredible!

If it weren't for the fact that the person was no longer alive, they would definitely have to visit him someday to see what this extraordinary person looked like!

"Enough."

Mei Yun waved his hand.

"Let's not talk about him, let's hurry..."

Smack!

As he spoke.

A very clear sound reached their ears.

"That..."

Jiang Feng turned pale.

"What was that sound?"

"Seems like... Fatty?"

Gu Han was uncertain, looking back.

With that glance.

He almost threw up.

Thirty meters away.

Fatty's foot was stuck in a pool of pitch-black, foul-smelling, mud-like substance, his face full of bewilderment.

"This..."

He instinctively looked down.

"What is this stuff?"

"Don't you recognize it?"

Mei Yun was somewhat displeased, "Isn't it just the feces of a demonic beast?"

Fatty's face...

Turned green in an instant!
