Legend of the Heavenly Swordsman
Ch.118 - Too Much Information

Dou Huang asked Fu Chen to immediately calm his mind before the contract began. But Fu Chen did not immediately obey him, he wanted to know first the identity of the two and their goals.

Fu Chen seemed to understand a little about the contract they said, usually the contract was done to establish a relationship with a demon. With a contract, the demon owner can control it at will.

The question Fu Chen now asked was who among the two would make a contract with him, Fu Chen did not even know whether the two were demons or not. Fu Chen did not want to take the risk of establishing a relationship with a creature of unclear origin.

Fu Chen thought hard to start the conversation, he was worried that his question would offend the two creatures.

"Can I know who you really are? And, where did you guys come from…? Ah, introduce my name Fu Chen, it would be rude if I asked without introducing myself first," Fu Chen asked a little nervously while stroking the nape of his neck.

Dou Huang slightly raised an eyebrow, then rubbed his beard for a moment, "Hmm, you are right. This meeting was too shocking that I forgot to introduce myself," Dou Huang chuckled after.

"Alright, prepare yourself mentally now, I fear that you will have a heart attack once you know my true identity," Dou Huang crossed both hands in front of his chest.

"Be prepared! This person in front of you is none other than a Dou Huang!" Dou Huang said his name out loud and followed a long loud laugh, the corner of his lips slightly curved up to display a smile.

Fu Chen choked on his own saliva witnessing that unusual manner of introduction, he looked at Dou huang in surprise while tilting his head, 'Do I have to be surprised to hear that?' fu Chen thought with a wry smile.

Dou Huang knit his brows finding Fu Chen's reaction was not up to his expectations, "Hm? You never heard my name? Dou Huang's? The Legendary Swordsman whom the Gods sent to this world?"

Fu Chen shook his head softly with a puzzled face, "Emmh, no, this is the first time I have heard that name…"

"I'm your ancestor, you idiot! Did your father never tell you?!" Dou Huang looked surprised at Fu Chen's reply, but the young man only smiled awkwardly as he turned his eyes away.

Dou Huang thought hard to crouch down, "It is impossible... What is my attitude when it is less amazing that we are forgotten so quickly?"

"Haha! You really are a pitiful Dou Huang! Even your descendants no longer remember your services," Feng Bian laughed out loud until his tears slightly came out.

"Our ancestor?" Fu Chen muttered softly, "Ah, my father once told me about it but he did not say it clearly. But you're not a ghost, are you? I mean, you're not gonna eat my soul or take my body, are you?"

Fu Chen clenched his shoulders while taking some distance, he looked at Dou Huang warily and fearfully. Fu Chen might not be too surprised to see the demon, but if the ghost just imagine it makes Fu Chen's hair stand up.

Dou Huang cleared his throat softly, "Take care of you Young man, your words make my heart tight…"

"Does the ghost still have a heart?" Fu Chen frowned.

"You!!" Dou Huang took a deep breath to control his emotions, however this child was his successor, he had to be patient enough to talk to this brat.

"Son, it's just a parable. Even if you're my descendant doesn't mean I can't hurt you, so understand what I'm saying so you don't ask too many questions."

Fu Chen only scratched his non-itchy cheeks then nodded slowly. While Feng Bian was unceasingly laughing at a Dou Huang.

Dou Huang again thought, he had a little trouble explaining his identity regardless of Fu Chen's ignorance.

"Hmm.." Dou Huang stroked his beard, "In short, right now I'm just a spirit, my real body has been dead since thousands of years ago. If you've heard about the ancestral spirit guarding the ring, then that person is me…"

Dou Huang did not explain everything at once, he only told him things that Fu Chen could understand. It would take quite a long time to explain everything, Dou Huang intended to give Fu Chen a little overview first before going deeper.

Actually the reason Dou Huang left his Spirit on that Earth ring was not of his own accord. Dou Huang had to keep a body-dwelling heirloom tied to the immense responsibility contained in the ring, which was why Fu Chen was unable to open the other side of the ring.

Dou Huang actually had no bloodline until he died, at the end of his life Dou Huang only became part of a simple small family.

Dou Huang taught them all his understanding and told the real martial world to them, he also instilled a trust and confidence in himself in that family.

Dou Huang handed over all of his interest to the family, hoping that they could fulfill the Dou Huang's last request to guard the relic he had given.

After a hundred years of Dou Huang's departure, the family revealed itself to the martial world. No one was aware of the family's football because they were still nothing.

The little family became a clan in less than a hundred years, people seemed to not believe it but the clan managed to show their potential and become one of the great clans in the Central continent.

Now, that simple little family had changed completely until they found the nickname Black Horse From the Sky, the Tang clan!

Fu Chen heard it attentively, he used to think the Tang clan came from a noble family or something, but apparently not, the clan was more amazing than he thought.

"Emh... Is it true that you are a ghost?" Fu Chen was able to deduce it because a Dou Huang had died thousands of years ago.

"Bocaaahs! How many times have I said, watch your words!" Dou Huang rubbed his face in annoyance.

Fu Chen pondered again, there were actually many questions in his head but he wanted to digest this information one by one.

"The reason I left my spirit in the ring was actually just to meet, boy! When you have successfully opened the second side of the ring, your real mission will begin."

"Mission?" Fu Chen raised his head, "Why can I get a mission?"

"That's because this ring chose you, or in other words I gave you that mission. Our meeting has been destined, you cannot refuse or flee because everything that has happened to you has been determined from the beginning."

Fu Chen frowned, what does it mean that everything he went through has been determined? Could it be that the death of his family was also related to that mission? Fu Chen's mouth opened slightly but before he spoke, Feng Bian immediately replied to Dou Huang's words.

"What are you planning to do Dou Huang? You realize, no, you can't send this kid to the upper world!" Feng Bian looked at the Dou Huang full of probing.

"It's not what you think it is. This mission still has to do with him." Dou Huang shook his head slowly.

"Him? Who are you talking about? Don't tell me you mean that guy, didn't you kill him?" Feng Bian looked even more serious.

"Does he deserve to be called a person?" Dou Huang smiled faintly as he shook his head slowly, "You should realize that he is immortal, the only way to stop him is to seal his soul!"

"Don't joke! I saw it with my own eyes when you killed that guy!" Feng Bian felt annoyed, his body shaking violently knowing his Master was still alive.

"No, he's not dead, rather he can't die! By the time I sealed it, some of his soul had escaped and the seal could not last more than 3000 years! You know, a piece of his soul is in this kid's body!"

Feng Bian gasped in shock, his eyes swiftly pointing at Fu Chen and observing him. "How did you know that?"

Dou Huang chuckled softly, "Of course because I've always been by his side. You would never feel how pleasant it would be if the God of Fate was on your side!"

"Talk once more about fate, I'll tear your mouth apart!" hiss Feng Bian was annoyed.

Dou Huang simply shrugged his shoulders and immediately floated towards Fu Chen. Fu Chen had taken a step back but suddenly his body could not be moved.

"Well Young Man, you seem to be confused by our conversation, accept this memory and you will understand it all!"
