Yang Guo couldn’t help but take a deep breath, nodding in agreement:

"The hero is truly unrivaled and unpredictable to the extreme. In my view, if the world’s people have ten units of talent, the hero would monopolize nine of them."

The gap is indeed heaven-defying.

Yang Guo could hardly believe that such a person exists in this world!

Too frightening!

He had practiced the Toad Skill for some years now, but because its posture was truly ugly and unrefined, and he had to practice the Ancient Tomb Sect’s martial arts day and night, the Toad Skill had been neglected for a long time.

But even though neglected, he would still practice it occasionally.

Calculating the time he spent learning, it also amounts to years.

Comparing to Ding Ling.

The feeling of disparity arises instantly.

Yang Guo originally felt proud and believed he had extraordinary talent, but at this moment, he was quite affected, thinking to himself:

"The hero is so outstanding, with such high talent, yet without excessive arrogance and pride. I should learn from him."

As he thought this way, his whole demeanor became much more composed at that moment.

People are like this; when they have the power of an exemplary figure, they unconsciously undergo some extremely subtle and peculiar transformations!

Ding Ling seemed to be aware of this and didn’t waste words, directly teaching Yang Guo the techniques of the Nine Heavens Thunder Hammer Technique and Lion’s Roar.

Although Yang Guo had an uncommon aptitude, surpassing ordinary people.

Yet facing these two extremely difficult techniques, he was also overwhelmed, listening to Ding Ling’s explanation for quite a while, still unable to grasp the technique, and thinking about the time Ding Ling spent practicing the Toad Skill, Yang Guo was quite discouraged.

However, considering the Ancient Tomb Sect’s martial arts, he himself had practiced them for several years and still hadn’t reached the state of mastery.

He understood that this was normal.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Hammer Technique and Lion’s Roar were such profound and wondrous martial arts, how could they be learned in a short period?

After realizing this.

He didn’t rush, and said at the moment:

"Hero, I see it’s getting late. Why not return to the Ancient Tomb Sect with me first?"

Ding Ling agreed.

On the way, Ding Ling mentioned the issue of addressing each other, suggesting that they should simply call each other’s names.

At first, Yang Guo was a bit embarrassed, feeling it somewhat disrespectful.

Later, Ding Ling insisted.

Yang Guo also became more relaxed.

Not long after.

They arrived at the entrance of a tomb.

"This is the Ancient Tomb Sect’s location."

Yang Guo pointed to a portal at the tomb in front:

"Entering this portal leads to our Ancient Tomb Sect."

Yang Guo began to introduce the Ancient Tomb Sect.

He focused on the characteristics of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

Ding Ling memorized this in his heart, thinking:

"What Yang Guo said is indeed very consistent with some scenes from the TV series. The internal structure of the Ancient Tomb Sect is extremely complex and exquisite. If ordinary people do not know the method and enter, getting lost is a minor issue; triggering some mechanisms and being trapped and captured could be problematic. Although I am proficient in array techniques, I initially need Yang Guo to lead the way."

Ding Ling followed Yang Guo into the interior of the Ancient Tomb Sect.

The first thing in view was a deep, narrow passageway.

The passage seemed endless, at a glance, as if no end could be seen.

Ding Ling couldn’t help but praise: Wang Chongyang built this Living Dead Tomb to resist the Jin Soldiers, indeed remarkable; I wonder how much effort Wang Chongyang put in back then to create today’s extensive tomb.

Tap, tap!

The roads within the tomb were winding.

Yang Guo led Ding Ling through twists and turns, arriving at a hidden chamber, roughly fifty square meters in size, connected to several other hidden chambers.

The air was thick with the smell of smoke.

The right side of the hidden chamber had some bowls, utensils, and cooking implements.

Under the faint candlelight, Ding Ling saw the walls on one side were completely blackened.

Evidently, Yang Guo cooked here often.

"Hero, Ding Ling..."

Yang Guo almost blurted out the word hero again, but realized and called the name, seeing Ding Ling looking over, scratched his head, chuckled sheepishly, and said:

"Our Ancient Tomb Sect is like this, a bit simple and shabby, don’t mind it."

"No."

Ding Ling smiled slightly:

"If martial artists can’t endure some hardship, what martial arts are they learning?"

"Ding Ling, you’re not much older than me, having such high understanding. No wonder you’ve cultivated such astonishing martial arts."

Yang Guo admired and said that, pointing to the left, and continued:

"The left side is where my aunt and I live, the right side used to be Granny Sun’s place. Ding Ling, if you don’t mind, you can stay on the right for now, and after discussing with my aunt, you can live with us there. There’s a Cold Jade Bed there that’s very effective. I think you’ll like it."

As Yang Guo was speaking. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Unexpectedly, at this moment, from the corridor on the left came a sound with a few clear notes:

"Guo’Er. Have you returned?"

"Aunt."

Yang Guo said with excitement:

"Come quickly, I’ll introduce a hero to you."

"What hero?"

The voice was faintly distant, like celestial music drifting in the air, yet it had a hint of worldly coldness; hearing this unexpectedly, even someone like Ding Ling couldn’t help but shiver!

As he followed the sound and looked in its direction, he thought to himself:

"Such ethereal, cold, yet immortal-like voice, truly the first time I’ve heard it, so extraordinary. Ancient Tomb Sect, Aunt... it must be the Little Dragon Girl."

Thinking of the Little Dragon Girl.

Ding Ling couldn’t help but brighten his eyes slightly.

This was the goddess in the hearts of many netizens!

Back when Ding Ling was an ordinary person, he also viewed Little Dragon Girl as a goddess; however, time has passed, and he has experienced too much, his mindset has undergone a radical transformation.

The person remains the same.

But his attitude has completely changed.

No longer would he have the reverent mindset that truly views women as goddesses.

Tap, tap!

A series of extremely slight footsteps sounded.

Clearly, the newcomer had exceptional lightweight skill, undoubtedly unmatched.

In the dim candlelight.

Ding Ling’s gaze was piercing as he quickly discerned the newcomer’s appearance.

Unexpectedly, the newcomer appeared to be around sixteen to seventeen years old, seemingly much younger than Yang Guo, with a face as bright as light, incredibly beautiful!

She seemed as ethereal as the Gushe Fairy!

Her divine elegance, ice-like skin, and jade-like bones were not enough to describe even part of her beauty.

Indeed, like a female immortal descended to the mortal world, her beauty was enough to make ordinary women lose their color.

"This..."

Ding Ling was moved.

This was a top-tier beauty whose looks were not inferior to Diao Chan!

Diao Chan was charming and spirited;

This young girl’s aura from head to toe was one of cold, unearthly beauty, untouched by the mortal world.

This kind of temperament was truly rare. Ding Ling, upon first glance, was almost unable to take his eyes off.

Fortunately, his character was extraordinary, distinct from the past.
