In Sword Pool City's Central Plaza.
In the tall buildings and restaurants around it.
Sword Demon Elder Huang sat in a Guest Room with several other High Rank Saint Martial Grandmasters, all watching the battle between Qin Hao and Wang Xuan.
"Impressive," rumbled a burly man with a bushy beard and a Heavy Sword on his back. "Wang Xuan's sword is fast, each strike faster than the last, yet Qin Hao still dodges with ease and even has time to defend."
"I'm beginning to wonder whether Qin Hao really does have some treasure that lets him see the future, as Wang Xuan claimed. But such a treasure... I've never heard of one, let alone seen one." Another High Rank Saint Martial Grandmaster shook his head.
The others frowned in thought as well.
Anyone who could share a room with a powerhouse like Sword Demon Elder Huang was formidable even among Saint Martial Grandmasters. It would not be an exaggeration to say these men had half a foot in the Venerable Martial Realm.
Yet Qin Hao and Wang Xuan's battle left them puzzled. It was not that they could not follow Wang Xuan's attacks... However fast his sword moved, their cultivation and attainment still let them sense its path.
What astonished them was how Qin Hao dodged. How did he still have time to react and defend?
If Qin Hao had possessed cultivation and attainment equal to theirs, they would have had no questions. But he was only at True Martial Realm Ninth Layer Peak.
To them, someone at his level of cultivation was practically a child.
That only made it more unbelievable.
"Qin Hao has no treasure that lets him see the future." Sword Demon Elder Huang's voice carried a note of admiration.
"Oh? Have you noticed something, Elder Huang?"
