Dual Cultivator with a cultivation system-Chapter 551: Ch-: Sword Tomb?

Wu Jing looked at Wang Ming, and her lips twitched when she saw the amused look on his face.

Wang Ming also noticed the King break out in cold sweat and a grimace appear on his face.

Just as the guards were about to point their weapons at him, the King intervened.

"Enough."

Wu Junhao said angrily as his cultivation gushed out, pinning the guards in place. He quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Wang Ming, sighing in relief as he did not seem angry or offended. If he were angry and lashed out, he would be helpless to stop him.

Someone might think that the King was overreacting and that Wang Ming was not that petty, but cultivators—especially the strong ones—might kill an offending party's entire family for even breathing in their presence, and such things were common in the cultivation world.

"Who gave you permission to disrespect my guest?" Wu Junhao said in an angry voice, and the guards immediately shrank back and did not utter another word. Wang Ming, seeing this, had a sneer on his face.

"Fucking mutts," Wang Ming said without restraint, while Wu Jing and Wu Junhao had their eyebrows twitch when they heard his words. Zhang Shiyu, on the other hand, had a smirk plastered on her face.

The guards gnashed their teeth when they heard Wang Ming call them dogs, but they could not deny that they were, in fact, mutts and behaved like them.

"Except for Zhang Shiyu and Wu Jing, all of you leave," Wu Junhao ordered.

"But, Your Highness, leaving you alone with an unknown person is not wise," one of the guards protested.

"Unknown, you say? Did you idiots not hear me? I said he is my guest. Looks like you all need more training," Wu Junhao glared at the guards, who shuddered and, without saying a word, left the room.

Wu Junhao sighed as he rubbed his temples, his head throbbing. Then, all of a sudden and without any warning, Wu Junhao threw a punch at Wang Ming with almost his entire cultivation base behind it.

Wang Ming raised an eyebrow and smiled when he saw no killing intent behind the incoming attack and also punched forward.

Boom!

When their fists met, the spiritual energy in their punches exploded, causing the entire building to tremble. If not for the defensive array that protected this place, the building would have crumbled to the ground from their exchange just now.

"Aaah!"

The King flew backward from the impact, landing a few meters away.

"Your Majesty!"

"Father!"

Wu Jing and Zhang Shiyu had looks of disbelief on their faces when they saw him attacking Wang Ming all of a sudden and panicked when they saw Wang Ming retaliating.

The women panicked for a moment, but when they saw that the King was fine, they released a sigh of relief.

"I apologize, Wang Ming. I just wanted to measure my strength against you," Wu Junhao said with a wry smile.

"It's fine. I could sense there was no malicious intent behind the attack," Wang Ming said as he waved his hand.

"By the way, I would like to formally thank you for saving the city and give you a reward," Wu Junhao straightened his back as he looked at Wang Ming solemnly.

"I have decided to open the Sword Tomb," Wu Junhao said solemnly.

"!!!" Zhang Shiyu and Wu Jing's eyelids constricted to the size of pinpricks, and seeing their reaction, Wang Ming grew more intrigued.

"Father, you... are serious?" Wu Jing said in disbelief and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

"Dear, are you sure? The last time it was opened was 100 years ago, and the King can only open the Sword Tomb once in their lifetime," Zhang Shiyu said hesitantly. The Sword Tomb was previously opened to appease a neighboring kingdom to prevent war because everyone is greedy to enter the Sword Tomb.

"I am sure. I think he deserves this reward; even the past kings would agree with me," Wu Junhao said firmly.

"I am sure the other family heads would agree as well, as it will boost morale after such a devastating attack on the city," Wu Junhao said.

"Can someone tell me what the Sword Tomb is?" Wang Ming asked with a frown.

"You are a sword practitioner, aren't you, Wang Ming?" Wu Junhao asked, and Wang Ming nodded with a frown.

"The Sword Tomb is a secret realm for sword users, and the reason why it's one of the most sought-after places on the continent is because those who enter the secret realm can comprehend Sword Aura," Wu Junhao said, and Wang Ming's eyebrow rose in shock.

His eyes widened in disbelief as he was also tempted, as he had been trying to learn Sword Aura, but even with his talent he could not comprehend it unless someone gave him some pointers. Even the system shop did not have any clues. He took a deep breath to calm himself.

"Then I will thank you, Your Highness," Wang Ming said solemnly.

Then Wu Junhao looked at his daughter, who was looking at Wang Ming with smitten eyes, and sighed. "Another announcement is that if you can learn Sword Aura, I will give my daughter's hand to you. I can already see how much she likes you. Daughter, do you disagree with me?"

Wang Ming raised an eyebrow and smiled as he looked at Wu Jing, whose face flushed up to her ears. She looked at her father with wide eyes and bit her lips but did not deny it, which caused both her parents to chuckle, as her silence meant yes.

"Oh, many families, even some from other kingdoms, will come to the kingdom after I announce it. Every family can nominate two people to enter. I will nominate you and Wu Jing to enter the Sword Tomb," Wu Junhao said, to which Wang Ming nodded and was filled with anticipation for the event.
