The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
The Surprise of Yang Gao

Hao Zhao and Yang Gao were in Yue Yie's room to talk about something, Yue Yie herself only briefly escorted the two there before heading back out to get a drink. So that only Hao Zhao was left as well as Yang Gao was now there.

“Son, whether it's just my feelings or something .. But you seem to have grown much stronger than last time," said Yang Gao breaking the silence that had occurred with a face of sumringah.

Hao Zhao only nodded softly at the compliment, understanding that it was just a small talk because Yang Gao could clearly see the full extent of his strength and not just his feelings.

In contrast to Hao Zhao who despite being a Soul swordsman, still could not see Yang Gao's level of strength where it meant that Yang Gao was still much stronger than him.

“For Uncle Gao who may already be a Peak stage Soul swordsman, I think my current level of strength is nothing compared to you," Hao Zhao said, clearly feeling not too happy to get compliments from Yang Gao.

The Soul Swordsman was indeed the highest in the martial world, but the stage difference was also not something a swordsman could ignore. It was this that made Hao Zhao feel unacceptable, receiving praise from a swordsman who was obviously more junior than himself but had strength above him.

“The Initial Stage of the Soul swordsman I achieved, I can be sure it will pass soon and will as soon as possible exist at a level equivalent to yours .. or perhaps stronger? Who knows," Hao Zhao continued, trying to line Yang Gao up so as not to look down on him too much by juxtaposing him on par with most of the younger generation.

Hao Zhao certainly understood what if that made Yang Gao look so happy to see him grow stronger, he said, nothing else and not necessarily because it meant that Hao Zhao was increasingly making his distance with most of the younger generation from the renowned sects.

Where of course Hao Zhao was not happy about it, because Hao Zhao had never once considered young genius warriors as his competition, because Hao Zhao preferred to make the equivalent swordsman Yang Gao as a measure for him.

Yang Gao was clearly shocked after hearing Hao Zhao's remark. He understood that Hao Zhao was not an ordinary young warrior, but still could not believe that he would hear such a thing come out of the mouth of a younger generation like Hao Zhao.

“A young man like you has reached a level of strength that many of your previous warriors could not reach, but it seems that you are not at all satisfied with it. I don't have to say what I have to say about this," Yang Gao said as he shook his head slowly, completely unable to guess Hao Zhao's way of thinking.

Honestly Yang Gao was flabbergasted after reading Hao Zhao's current level of strength, never once did he think there would be a time when a younger generation could achieve something that was clear until now still considered impossible.

Hao Zhao's age in Yang Gao's guessing must still be in his early twenties, but already possessing strength on par with most great warriors was definitely something so extraordinary in Yang Gao's eyes.

“Son, did you know that I was only able to get my current level of strength after training for decades? I tell you also that I just touched the Soul swordsman level at the age of fifty ... while you? You may not even be in the middle twenties but it's been this strong .. don't be so hard on yourself" Yang Gao said, after seeing the look of confident eyes that Hao Zhao showed when he said he would be able to immediately surpass him.

“Nak, advice from me. You should not be too hasty in raising your level of strength, for whatever reason you can have this much determination to get stronger.Stabilizing your level of strength is still necessary if you do not want to experience obstacles in the future." Yang Gao tried to give understanding to Hao Zhao who he considered was still so new in the martial world.

Hao Zhao heard the advice of Yang Gao immediately smiled amusedly, never thinking he would get the advice of a swordsman who was obviously much more junior than him.

Hao Zhao certainly understood what Yang Gao was trying to convey, where the same thing was trying to keep Hao Zhao doing lately. So that Yang Gao's advice could very well be said that Hao Zhao did not need at all.

“I accept Uncle Gao's good advice, but there is no need to worry about my path as a swordsman because I have my own path. So my advice to Uncle Gao is, just look at how I grow up and look more sparkly in your eyes. After all this was not what made Uncle Gao not hesitate to let Yue Yie accept my offer back then ...."

“To let the martial world know, if the Treasure Lantern has a younger generation with strength above all other young generations," Hao Zhao continued, do not want to hide the fact that he is not a person who can be secretly used.

Yang Gao was silent after hearing Hao Zhao's words, seemingly not at all expecting how brave Hao Zhao would be and without a doubt dared to reveal what was on his mind. Where this was, it immediately made Yang Gao even more interested in the figure of the young man before him.

“Hahaha, how surprised I was to learn there was a younger generation as brave as you when talking to me." Yang Gao with a crisp laugh, recalled almost the entire younger generation in the Treasure Lantern who had always only fallen silent if he spoke to her for fear of offending her.

Compared to them, Hao Zhao was completely different. It even had the impression of not caring at all just in case his words made Yang Gao angry, making Hao Zhao's figure become even more valuable in Yang Gao's eyes.

“Son, let me tell you the truth. I have absolutely no regrets about dividing my Treasure Lantern partly for you, you deserve it .. It might even be much more than just a portion of the Treasure Lantern in the future if you look at this development of your power," yang Gao said, patting Hao Zhao's shoulder a few times.

“Share? I bought it, don't cross the meaning of my offer back then," Hao Zhao said, with a grinning smile as he dropped his body on the back of the sofa.

Yang Gao was once jolted to hear Hao Zhao dare to once again refute his words, although in the end he could only smile a little in response.

“Speaking with a warrior type like this old man is always fun," Hao Zhao muttered softly, having already tried to observe the mannerisms Yang Gao and Hao Zhao were quite satisfied with the results.
