Chapter 83

As he continued to watch, Leiting felt he was about to go crazy and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a rhythmic tapping sound, which stirred his heart.

Su Ming was intently forging the mace in his hands, completely focused. Leiting quietly watched from the side. From the force of his strikes, it was clear that this boy had surpassed the 15th level and was clearly a step above the others in forging. His eyes were also good, showing that he was dedicated. This at least indicated that he took forging seriously, unlike those outside who did it just for show.

After forging for a while, Su Ming felt something was off and was very unsatisfied.

"Hehe, boy, don't just pursue the grandeur of the mace. Remember, weapons are made for people to use. The most important thing is that they suit their user."

Leiting was very kind and gentle. Although the Ancestor Lei was known for his explosive temper, even he would feel better after seeing so many examples that made him furious. Beauty is often found in contrast.

Compared to Sister Feng, Sister Fu Rong is beautiful.

Hearing this, Su Ming stopped his hammer and nodded. "That makes sense. I was thinking the wrong way. Thank you for your guidance, Senior."

Leiting added another point in his favor for being polite and humble.

"Hehe, boy, I can see you have some foundation. You must have learned some basics from Wang Boda, right?"

"My master has given me guidance, and I also have some family background."

Leiting nodded. No wonder. With Wang Boda's skills, he could only teach those fools outside.

"Hehe, continue. I'll just watch. Oh, there are quite a few. Are these all your works?"

"More or less. Senior, feel free to look around. I need to finish this before the meeting."

Leiting examined the weapons neatly arranged along the wall. They weren't the best, but they were meticulous and well-structured. Compared to the overall level of Leiguang Hall, this boy was a savior. Leiting also had the intention to guide him, regardless of whether he would stay or not, he didn't want Leiguang Hall to lose face.

When Leiting's gaze fell on the sword in the corner, he stiffened. A powerful aura erupted, and Su Ming, who was nearby, was suppressed by the aura, unable to move or even breathe.

Bang...

Bang... The hammer hit the ground, and Leiting finally reacted, quickly reining in his aura and solemnly picking up the sword from the ground.

Ancestor Lei's hands were trembling. How... How could this be!

The sword felt incredibly heavy in Leiting's hands. The forging technique was rough, but the realm it contained was indescribable and unimaginable!

But this was not the reason for Leiting's shock. This sword looked so much like Senior's Silent Sword!

The unparalleled pride and the sword intent that stood alone at the pinnacle of the world were unmistakable, absolutely unmistakable!

Su Ming was breathing heavily, equally shocked. This old man was terrifying. Su Ming knew that the person in front of him was at least an elder, or even... an Ancestor!!!

After a long while, Leiting suppressed his excitement. "Who... who left this sword?"

Su Ming clenched his teeth. "Who are you!"

"Boy, I asked you who left this sword!"

Rumble...

For many years, no one had dared to make Leiting repeat himself.

Su Ming's whole body trembled at the terrifying sound of thunder. "Who are you!"

Leiting realized his loss of composure. How could he lose his temper with a great-grandson? At the same time, he secretly admired the boy's backbone.

The Senior who had seen him back then had chosen him because of his backbone.

"Hehe, boy, don't worry. I have no ill intentions. I have some connection with the owner of this sword. Do you know who left it here?"

Leiting hadn't spoken so kindly in decades.

In just this short moment, Wang Boda had already rushed over, crawling and stumbling. "I didn't know the Ancestor was here. Disciple... Su Ming, you little rascal, how dare you challenge the Ancestor!"

Su Ming still stood firm. He didn't care who the other person was. Even if it was the Emperor, he would at most lose his life.

"Without my friend's permission, I can't say anything!"

Su Ming said firmly, unafraid of the pressure from the "Ancestor." After the Lin family tragedy, nothing in this world could scare him anymore.

Leiting waved his hand. "Get out of here. I haven't settled accounts with you for what you've done to Leiguang Hall!"

Wang Boda, who was usually as fiery as thunder, now stood obediently like a baby rabbit, nodding and bowing, giving Su Ming meaningful looks. This little fool, such a great opportunity was right in front of him, and he still didn't understand.

Wang Boda had just come to check on the disciples' recent efforts, feeling deeply gratified. Who would have thought he would sense Leiting's elemental power.

Given his understanding of Leiting, for the Ancestor to restrain his temper was a tremendous blessing, indicating that he saw potential in Su Ming.

Su Ming didn't know who this Ancestor was, but he knew the person was very strong and fierce, and he feared it might be detrimental to Wang Meng.

"Hehe, are you Su Ming? Very good, very good. Don't worry. You can ask your friend. Just say that Leiting wants to meet him. Wang Boda can vouch for me. Although I have a bad temper, I'm not a bad person."

Leiting knew that once he lost his temper, he would be more terrifying than a beast, so he had to explain.

Wang Boda's eyes nearly popped out. Damn, the Ancestor Lei actually had to "explain"?!!!

He quickly stepped forward. "Su Ming, don't be ungrateful. The person in front of you is our Ancestor of the Holy Hall's Physical Cultivators."

Su Ming's expression softened. "Disciple Su Ming greets Ancestor Lei. But I need to get my friend's permission first."

Leiting smiled. "No problem, no problem. Take your time. When you have an answer, have Wang Boda inform me. Ha, not bad, Wang Boda, come with me!"

His expression wasn't as kind when he turned to Wang Boda, who immediately followed, padding his buttocks. The Ancestor's willingness to get angry was a good sign. If he didn't care about Leiguang Hall's fate, why would he get angry?

At Wang Boda's residence, Leiting sat down with a thud. Wang Boda quickly served tea and stood quietly to the side.

"You little brat, you've almost disgraced me!"

"Ancestor, I deserve your punishment. As you know, Leiguang Hall is indeed in a difficult situation. We always get the least resources, and our excellent disciples are taken away by others. Senior Xu also... The disciples are suffering."

Wang Boda rarely found someone to vent to.

"Hmph, always making excuses. Reflect on your own shortcomings. These children are our future. Don't just focus on your own cultivation. This time, I found some hope. The atmosphere is good. As long as you're willing to strive, there's a chance. I'll think of ways to improve the resources, but you must show determination at the Hundred Treasures Hall meeting. Otherwise, no one can help you."
