The Heavenly Tiger Swordsman
The Arrival of Many Scouts

Hao Zhao was sitting quietly in his room with his eyes closed, he did it from night until it was not felt if the morning was approaching.

Around Hao Zhao itself appeared a thin bluish-colored energy surrounding his body, where the wisp of energy seemed to spread over time to fill the entire room making every object there vibrate.

“Aura Martial, I can finally master it completely," Hao Zhao said as he opened his eyes along with it the surrounding energy slowly receded before disappearing.

The Martial Aura itself was something that a swordsman could use to exert pressure, along with it the Martial Aura was also a marker as strong as what a Soul swordsman was using it.

Indeed Martial Aura was not something that could be used just any swordsman, where only Soul warriors onto it could use it.

Judging from this then the greater the clear advantage Hao Zhao had after successfully becoming a Soul swordsman, because of this too Hao Zhao to the point of not caring about time continued to train him until finally able to master the Martial Aura completely.

Indeed Hao Zhao only became interested in Martial Aura last night after seeing the man with the golden-coloured mask use it to suppress his movements, because it was after returning from there immediately Hao Zhao asked related things to Yang Gao who gave a fairly complete explanation of his question.

“Uncle Gao said normally a new Soul swordsman could use Martial Aura after training for months and would only master it completely after many years of training it, but why would I be able to do it with just a single look and already be able to master it after a whole night?" Hao Zhao was full of question marks, thinking whether Yang Gao had misinformed him or what.

It was indeed the incident last night where Hao Zhao was able to use Martial Aura to release the pressure that his body was suffering from like it just happened, just like that, where to think of only one thing back then what Hao Zhao did.

“If he alone can use Martial Aura then I should be able to too."

That was what was in Hao Zhao's head and proved successful, because according to Hao Zhao to use Martial Aura was not as difficult as what Yang Gao described.

At least that was according to Hao Zhao because normally what Hao Zhao did was not at all ordinary or could be said to be very impossible for a swordsman to do.

Hao Zhao briefly pondered for a moment when the door to his room was suddenly knocked slowly, where immediately Hao Zhao opened the door to see who was coming.

Yang Gao had been there with his bright face, where Yue Yie was beside him welcoming Hao Zhao with a sweet smile on her thin cloth-covered face.

“Son Zhao, are you ready for the semi-finals of the tournament?" ask Yang Gao.

“Of course, I've been waiting for him," Hao Zhao said with a forced smile.

“Oh, why do you look so uninspired? Is it because you have felt the excitement of fishing big fish so not interested in the small fish?" asked Yang Gao while chuckling.

Hao Zhao only smiled awkwardly upon hearing that, where had understood himself that Yang Gao must have heard the details related to what happened last night from the two Treasure Lantern warriors who came to help him.

After all, Yang Gao almost never mentioned what happened the night before, making Hao Zhao's trip to where the tournament was held quieter than it should have been.

“Sister Zhao, last night where did you go?" asked Yue Yie suddenly.

Hao Zhao only glanced at Yue Yie for a moment before replying, “Taking care of a thing."

“Nothing," said Hao Zhao briefly because confused how to explain it.

“Sister Zhao doesn't play around with women does he?"

Hao Zhao was briefly surprised to hear that, looking at the strange Yue Yie before saying, “Absolutely I look like that kind of guy?"

“Who knows?" Yue Yie before sped up her steps with her cheeks that had bloated left Hao Zhao.

“What? Why angry?" Hao Zhao was full of question marks.

Hao Zhao himself afterwards only ignored it, preferring to pay attention to the atmosphere of the city streets that morning as usual already looked crowded, everything was normal at first until Hao Zhao accidentally managed to read the level of strength of some people who were dressed like ordinary citizens.

“They are not residents of the city .. they are obviously a swordsman," murmured Hao Zhao.

Long enough Hao Zhao dissolved to think about it while trying to guess who they were and what their purpose was to come to the city of Dahan Gutur, until suddenly Yang Gao patted his shoulder awakened himself from the daydream that had occurred.

“Do you realize it?" ask Yang Gao slowly.

“If what Uncle Gao means is warriors acting like city dwellers then yes, I realize it" Hao Zhao said.

Yang Gao only nodded slowly before bringing his face closer towards Hao Zhao after whispering, “They are scouts from quite a number of sects, not a few are also from big sects so don't waste this opportunity."

Hao Zhao glanced at Yang Gao puzzled, not understanding what the speech meant before finally being able to breathe a sigh of relief as Yang Gao was willing to explain it.

The scouts Yang Gao was referring to were information seekers, where they had come to Dahan Gugur city because they had heard rumors related to the young genius swordsman who was none other than Hao Zhao.

Where the purpose of their arrival there was to search for as much information as possible regarding Hao Zhao to send to their home sect, where it means is the same as they are willing to spread the name Hao Zhao for free where of course Yang Gao is happy about this because the name of Treasure Lantern will certainly also go up because of it.

“Make them captivated by your genius, I'm sure any of their sect patriarchs will be inflamed after receiving information regarding you, hahaha." Yang Gao with a crisp laugh.

Hao Zhao himself just nodded after, no wonder he thought why Yang Gao's face could be as bright as that this morning.

Hao Zhao himself not too long later finally arrived at his tournament spot in the title, sitting on the bench that had been prepared for him along with Yang Gao as well as Yue Yie, they can only wait until the tournament is back.

An imperial warrior did not for long climb over the arena to give a welcome to every one of them who came, where this makes Hao Zhao quite confused because it is not usually the case because it should be Meng Kiao or the city lord who did this.

Hao Zhao himself immediately turned to the bench where Meng Kiao used to sit with his daughter, where it was true that he was there with a gloomy facial expression that somehow seemed so obvious.

“What is this because two members of the Iron Mask who have not returned after last night? If it's true that means they have absolutely no idea that it has anything to do with me," Hao Zhao muttered with an expressionless flat face.
