Meeting Water God Reida

The Water God Style Dojo is located on the west side of City of Ars, occupying a large area of land.

With its blue tiles and white walls, a plaque hangs above the doorway, bearing the three large characters "Shui Shen Liu" (Water God Style), written in vigorous strokes, clearly indicating its age.

The courtyard echoed with orderly shouts and the crisp clinking of wooden swords; the disciples were practicing.

Although this was his second time visiting City of Ars, it was Luo Ge's first time visiting the Water God Style Dojo.

Isolte walked beside them, leading the way, and people kept glancing in their direction. Several disciples who were wiping the floor stopped what they were doing and huddled together, whispering among themselves.

"Who is that man? I've never seen him before."

"Is she a new disciple, following Miss Isolte?"

"He got in through connections, didn't he? Look at him, he doesn't look like someone who practices swordsmanship."

Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you--

As Isolte and Luo Ge were about to walk inside, it suddenly became quiet in front of them.

An elderly woman, not very tall but with a straight back, walked out of the main hall. She had gray hair and was a very simple old woman.

She walked slowly, but each step landed as steadily as a nail driven into the ground. The surrounding disciples unconsciously made way for her, all of them silent and trembling.

"Water God" Reida.

Reida spotted Luo Ge immediately, stopped, looked him up and down for a couple of seconds, and then gave him a friendly smile.

"It's Luo Ge, young man. Long time no see."

Luo Ge stepped forward and bowed slightly. "Hmm... Lord Water God, it's been a long time."

The surrounding area immediately erupted in chaos.

The disciples looked at each other, their eyes practically bulging out of their sockets.

The Water God actually came out to receive me in person?

Did you initiate the greeting?

Who exactly is this young man?

Even Miss Isolte doesn't receive this treatment, does she?

Only when the Water God led the people into the house did the disciples outside dare to speak.

Someone cautiously approached Isolte and asked in a low voice, "Miss Isolte, who exactly is that young man?"

Isolte her mouth, intending to proudly tell everyone that she Death God of the Seven Great Powers, but then she remembered that she couldn't make decisions on her own, so she swallowed her words and changed her tune.

"He is the Sword King who came from the Sword Sanctum."

"Sword King?"

"Could he be the Demon Sword King? And also the Three Kings, encompassing the Water King and the North King?"

The disciple gasped.

Although I had long heard that a genius swordsman had emerged from the Northern Continent, who had won the title of Sword King before the age of thirteen and had also collected the titles of the Three Kings.

But seeing him in person, I was surprised to find that he was really so young, looking several years younger than me, which was truly unbelievable.

"Is that Luo Ge? He looks so young..."

"Nonsense, he became Sword King before he was ten years old, how could he not be young?"

There was a lot of discussion outside, but it was very quiet inside.

In the main hall of the Water God Style, Reida sat down at the head of the table and gestured for Luo Ge to sit as well.

She looked at the young man in front of her and sighed for a long time.

"Honestly... I knew you had good talent when I met you in the Sword Sanctum, but I never expected you to be this amazing."

"Oops."

Reida's tone carried a hint of genuine admiration, "Now I must congratulate you, hmm... should I call you the Death God now?"

"You're too kind, Water God."

Luo Ge waved his hand. "Death God is just a title. Just call me Luo Ge, as always."

Reida looked at him and nodded in satisfaction.

Be neither arrogant nor impatient.

Neither humble nor arrogant.

Despite having already earned the title of a great power and reaching such heights at the age of thirteen, there was not a trace of arrogance about Luo Ge.

The quality of young people not becoming arrogant after achieving success is actually more valuable than talent itself.

"Oh, right."

Reida changed the subject, "I taught you for a while before, and I wonder if your Water God Style has improved any further over the years."

Luo Ge, unusually a little embarrassed, scratched his nose. "Uh... I haven't practiced that much."

Reida snorted, but didn't really blame him. She just pointed at him with her finger. "With your talent, you can go much further. Don't just focus on practicing that savage fighting style that only a brute would use. The techniques of the Water God Style will also benefit you."

Luo Ge nodded and listened attentively as she recounted her emotional journey for a while.

Reida explained the core concept of the Water God Style— "overcoming strength with gentleness and striking after the opponent has made a move"—in a simple and easy-to-understand way, breaking it down for him.

Finally, he also told him the methods for practicing the other secret techniques of the Luo Ge Water God Style.

Although Luo Ge primarily studied the North God Style and the Sword God Style, he was able to make connections and glean some new insights from the information.

After saying this, Reida picked up her teacup, took a sip, and her gaze suddenly became serious.

"Hey... I heard you fought the Dragon God a while ago? Tell me about it."

Seeing Luo Ge nod, the Water God looked at Luo Ge curiously. "Would you mind telling me the details of this battle?"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Ge realized there was nothing he couldn't say, so he proceeded to give a general account of the battle Red Dragon's Lower Jaw.

His tone was casual and nonchalant... as if he were telling someone else's story.

But who is Reida?

The leader of the Water God Style was a ruthless character who had experienced countless battles in his youth.

The more understated Luo Ge's descriptions were, the more she could reconstruct the perilous situation from those brief recounts.

When she heard that the Dragon God had finally drawn his Godblade, Reida's hand, which was holding a teacup, froze in mid-air.

"Wait, what did you say???"

"Dragon God... Dragon God, it drew its Godblade at you?"

If it were anyone else, the Water God Reida would definitely think they were bragging, but if it were Luo Ge, she would have to think carefully.

"Hey, isn't this a bit too unbelievable? Luo Ge, kid! You actually managed to get this far?!"

Reida put down her teacup and remained silent for several seconds.

In their youth, both she and Gal encountered the Dragon God, and even when they joined forces, they couldn't force the Dragon God to draw his Godblade.

The boy before them, only thirteen years old, had forced the Dragon God to take real action.

Thirteen years old.

No matter how talented others are, they're at best at the level of Sword Saint or Water Saint.

But what about Luo Ge?

He fought the Dragon God at the age of thirteen, returned alive, and even casually acquired the title of Death God.

Reida opened her mouth, then closed it again.

Unbelievable, truly unbelievable!

The air was quiet for a while before she could process all that information.

In short, one should not antagonize individuals of this caliber.

The Water God Reida had only one thought in her mind: such outstanding talents should be brought to prominence in the Water God Style.

The Water God Reida was increasingly pleased with Luo Ge; how could such a promising talent be left to a savage like Gal?

Arranged marriage!

A marriage alliance is a must!

If he were to marry Isolte and have a child who inherits genes from both sides, his future prospects would be limitless.

Thinking of this, Reida's wrinkled face broke into a brighter smile, and her gaze toward Luo Ge became much more ardent.

Luo Ge felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze.

Why did she feel that the old woman was looking at her strangely? Could it be that she had some strange thoughts about her?
