MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again-Chapter 629 - 117: Dreaming of Ancient Times (9)

"Lord Hai Ge,"

Facing Ming Yue’s question, Lu Hong smiled faintly, "Have you made great progress?"

"Yes." As the liaison of the Xiao clan to the outside world and the one most understood by outsiders, Hai Ge was known to be slightly less skilled than Ming Ze. However, in the recent clash, it was clear that Hai Ge had gained the upper hand, which puzzled everyone.

"Perhaps Hai Ge has had a breakthrough recently."

Lu Hong spoke lightly, but deep down, he was elated. It was clear that Hai Ge had reached the First Transition Late Stage, even faster than his own training.

However, Lu Hong soon came to terms with it. Hai Ge was already a master, and after obtaining the Meditation Technique, it was only logical for him to make quick progress.

Ming Ze possessed Divine Power, and each punch carried terrifying destructive force. Although Hai Ge’s physique could not keep up with his opponent, with the help of Fighting Spirit, he could resist without much effort and even gained a slight advantage.

The exchanges between the two were rapid, and the greater the fight, the more shocked Ming Ze became. He could clearly feel the limit of Hai Ge’s strength, which was obviously inferior to his own. Hai Ge, who should have been blown away by a punch, repeatedly handled his attacks with ease. Why was that?

After observing for a while, Ming Ze finally spotted the problem—it was a dirt-yellow fluctuation that was dissipating all his strength.

Ming Ze frowned slightly, "Are you using Sorcery?"

"Sorcery?" Hai Ge pushed Ming Ze back with a kick and laughed, "Ignorant fool, to mistake such a divine technique for sorcery. Well then, let me show you the power of this technique!"

Saying this, Hai Ge leapt into the air.

Lu Hong was also taken aback. He had only mentioned the subtleties of the leaping chop to Hai Ge once; had he figured it out on his own? He had not noticed it in all this time.

Utilizing gravity for acceleration, Hai Ge dove down, and his Fighting Spirit burst forth from within him, forming a massive shockwave that smashed toward Ming Ze.

Ming Ze, spurred by courage, knew he couldn’t block it but still raised his arm in defense.

A loud boom resounded, and yellow ripples spread out, knocking over all the spectators around the arena.

The Clan Leader of the Ming clan’s eyes blazed with sharp light. He was familiar with Hai Ge, who could barely control the power of the fire element, but this power was not the fire element; it was another force he had never seen before.

As for Ming Ze, he had already been thrown out of the arena and had passed out.

Seeing his son in such a condition, the Great Elder immediately scolded Hai Ge in anger, "How dare you, Hai Ge! My Ming clan has been unparalleled in kindness to your Xiao clan for so many years, and today you dare to harm our Xiao clan warrior covertly, bring someone!"

"Here!"

A row of Ming clan warriors came forward with swords.

"Seize this brute!" At the command of the Great Elder, Ming clan warriors surged toward Hai Ge.

"Stop!" Just then, the Clan Leader of the Ming clan intervened, "On the arena, blows do not see eyes, it was just a fair fight. If my Ming clan loses and blames others, if word of this spread, wouldn’t it make people laugh?"

The Clan Leader of the Ming clan turned to the Great Elder and continued, "Ming Ze is just unconscious, he will recover after a few days of rest. Great Elder, it would be unwise to harm the harmony between our two clans over this."

Watching the Clan Leader’s almost smiling expression, the Great Elder clenched his teeth; he finally realized that this was a move using Hai Ge to strike at him.

"Yes, I will take Ming Ze back to rest now."

"Hmm."

After sending off the Great Elder, the Clan Leader of the Ming clan stepped up to the arena, looked around at the demoralized Ming clan populace, and then said with a smile, "Now you understand, the harsher the environment, the stronger one becomes. My Ming clan has been too complacent for too long, having forgotten the critical situation of the survival of the Human Race. If you do not correct your mindset, the Ming clan will not be far from extinction!"

Hearing the Clan Leader’s words, everyone bowed their heads in shame and clasped their hands in salute, "We will heed the Clan Leader’s teachings!"

The Clan Leader of the Ming clan did not respond but patted Hai Ge on the shoulder, "You’ve become quite powerful in just a year!"

"Not really, it’s thanks to the teachings of our young Clan Leader that I have made rapid progress." Hai Ge was very grateful to the Clan Leader of the Ming clan and immediately introduced him, "The person standing with Miss Ming Yue over there is our young Clan Leader; I will ask him to come over."

"No need, we’ll go over together; standing on the arena and being watched feels odd." Saying this, the Clan Leader of the Ming clan walked over to Lu Hong alongside Hai Ge.

"Young Clan Leader, this is the Clan Leader of the Ming clan, Ming Lou." Hai Ge gestured frantically to Lu Hong.

Lu Hong smiled slightly and bowed as he said, "Xiao Zheng of the Xiao Clan, pays his respects to Clan Leader Ming Lou."

"Haha, no need for such formality, no need, young Xiao is truly accomplished for his age!" Ming Lou laughed heartily, then turned to Ming Yue and said, "Yue Er, why aren’t you hosting such a distinguished guest?"

"Father!" Ming Yue rolled her eyes at her teasing father.

"Alright, alright, nephew Xiao, let’s go to my house to talk."

The group arrived at the Clan Leader’s mansion, and Ming Yue offered freshly brewed tea.

After a light taste, Ming Lou began, "Is this your first time leaving the Lei Sai Jungle?"

"Yes." Lu Hong nodded. "Although it’s my first visit to the Ming Clan, I have always admired Ming Clan. On this occasion, I replace wine with tea to thank the Ming Clan Leader for years of assistance to my Xiao Clan."

"Hahaha, nephew, you are too courteous. We are all part of the Human Race and should naturally help each other." Having said that, Ming Lou cut to the chase, "So, may I know why nephew has left Lei Sai this time?"

"To purchase a batch of weapons to enhance the Xiao Clan’s combat power."

"Weapons?" Ming Lou raised an eyebrow. "How many do you need?"

Lu Hong shook his head slightly. "It’s not about purchasing from Ming Clan."

"Oh?" Ming Lou was taken aback and then realized, "Are you going to Nan Sha?"

"Yes, I intend to buy a batch of Heavy Swords made of refined iron in Nan Sha."

Ming Lou nodded. The forging technology of Ming Clan was just so-so; most weapons were made primarily of sturdy wood, and Ming Clan didn’t have many iron weapons that Lu Hong required.

"The weapons might be pricey, are you sure you are prepared, nephew Xiao?" As he spoke, Ming Lou waved Ming Yue over.

Ming Yue understood immediately, went into the inner room, and brought out a pouch of gold placing it in front of Lu Hong.

"Clan Leader Ming, this is––" Lu Hong asked knowingly, not wanting to accept the money.

"Since nephew is going to Nan Sha, why not purchase a weapon for Yue Er as well? This is the deposit I’m giving you."

"That’s too much." Lu Hong shook his head. "Ming Clan has already helped my Xiao Clan too much; I cannot accept this money."

"Nephew, you are too modest. I told you, this is a deposit for you to help make a purchase. If it feels too much, you can return it when you come back."

"Clan Leader––" At this moment, Hai Ge spoke up from the side, "Take it."

Seeing that Hai Ge had spoken, Lu Hong finally nodded, "Then I thank Clan Leader Ming for your generosity."

"You’re welcome. This journey won’t be peaceful; I heard that the army under Tiger Roar God is clearly intending to attack Nan Sha."

"However––" Ming Lou’s tone shifted. "The elves have already reached an agreement with Nan Sha. They are currently deploying the Wind Walker Army into Nan Sha. Although Nan Sha might not fall, it won’t escape becoming engulfed in the flames of war. Nephew, if you want this trip to go smoothly, you must hurry. Once the war starts, you won’t be able to buy the weapons."

"Thank you, Clan Leader Ming, for the information."

After the discussion ended, Ming Lou had Ming Yue arrange accommodations for Lu Hong and his party, while he went to deal with clan affairs.

As Lu Hong entered meditation, Nan Sha welcomed a special guest.

Lei Sai greeted the guest into the courtyard, bowing respectfully, "Lei Sai of the Human Race, meets the Great Elven King!"

The Great Elven King removed the black cloak that masked his face, revealing a pair of pointed ears and a stunningly handsome appearance that captivated those who saw him.

"Lord Lei Sai, you are too courteous. May I know if the information you received is accurate?"

"Absolutely accurate, the Tiger Roar God’s army is already stationed on the outskirts of Nan Sha, preparing to encircle it. I believe within six months, they will launch an attack on Nan Sha."

"The Tiger Roar army is Tiger Roar army, Tiger Roar God is Tiger Roar God." The Great Elven King spoke softly, his tone slightly dissatisfied.

Lei Sai didn’t mind and instead laughed, "Tiger Roar God will surely come. If he does not, your highness can keep your troops idle without needing to be responsible for the life and death of Nan Sha’s Human Race."

"Of course, though my elven race is strong now, we must still tread carefully on beast territories. The plan to assassinate Tiger Roar God is too risky. If it weren’t for your tribe’s sincerity, I wouldn’t want to take this risk."
