Chapter 375: College of Arts
“Hm?” After successfully entering the city bounds, Wang Hao suddenly noticed something unusual.
“Aside from that monstrous Jotunn that is fighting Tian Yi now, there are no other powerful Jotunn lying around!”
With his energy sense, Wang Hao was sure that all the inhabitants in this city had power comparable to only First Stage Practitioners. There are no Jotunn here with power around the Second, Third and Fourth Stage. “That Fifth Stage Jotunn… He’s actually this malicious.” Wang Hao muttered as he looked at Tian YI fighting the Fifth Stage Jotunn.
The only explanation for what Wang Hao saw was only simple. This Fifth Stage Jotunn must have killed all the other Jotunn with power beyond the First Stage!
“Tsk, what a ruthless person.” Wang Hao muttered as he saw that the none of the Jotunn in the city left their houses once the Fifth Stage Jotunn appeared to fight Tian Yi.
It was as if they were extremely scared of the Fifth Stage Jotunn that they could not even go out of their houses.
“….” Wang Hao felt slightly disappointed by this, as he thought that some of the Jotunn will attack him once he enters the city. But it looks like they are ignoring Wang Hao as they seem to be more scared of the Fifth Stage Jotunn.
“Well, at least this makes matters easier for me.” Wang Hao muttered as he rushed towards the center of the city. Along the way he did not receive any obstructions as none of the Jotunn dared to stop him.
In no time at all, he reached the center of the city. “It’s really big up close…” Wang Hao said as he looked at the towering structure in front of him. This structure was the dwelling place of the Fifth Stage Jotunn, and it did not fail to impress Wang Hao.
“Don’t tell me that a Universe Sage like you can’t even deal with a measly Rune of Shielding?” Wang Hao’s voice was loud as he mocked Old Man.
“Well that was disappointing. I thought you are one of the most intelligent beings in the whole universe, and yet you can’t even deal with this rune? Are you really a wise man like what you said?”
“That’s it!” Old Man could not take it anymore as he pointed his trembling fingers at Wang Hao. “You think I can’t deal with this rune? I am one of the best Rune Engravers out there! This rune is nothing to me!”
“Well, thanks for the help then~” Wang Hao replied cheerfully as he saw the Old Man fuming in anger.
Wang Hao knew that Old Man would not allow himself to get exploited, even at the expense of his identity. But Wang Hao also knew that Old Man was someone who valued his status as an intellectual, and it will surely hurt Old Man’s pride if someone took a jab in it!
“Old Man, you may be a powerful, intelligent ancient being, but you are still no match with my manipulative skills!” Wang Hao thought smugly as Old Man started to negate the Rune.
“Since I have no body, you Wang Hao, will be ‘my hands’.” Old Man said as his demeanor changed. “I will tell you the instructions on unraveling the Rune of Shielding, and you will be the one who will do it. I trust that a skilled person like you can do this right?”
“Of course I can!” Wang Hao replied testily as he stabilized his hands. “Whew…” It was lucky for Wang Hao that there is no Jotunn nearby that can interrupt what he was doing.
Minutes later. “This is so effing difficult!” Wang Hao wailed inwardly as he found it extremely hard to keep up with Old Man.
10 minutes have already passed by since Old Man started giving Wang Hao the instructions to negate the Rune of Shielding.
These instructions by Old Man were basically forcing Wang Hao to engrave runes in front of the house. Since it was Wang Hao’s first time engraving runes, he was slow in this endeavor, much to Old Man’s dismay.
Rune engraving required someone to be an expert in engraving and they must also be good at energy manipulation, as the runes must be supplied with energy while they are being engraved.
With Wang Hao’s bloodline, he had no problems with energy manipulation. But as for engraving, one can say that Wang Hao is not an artistic person, so making him engrave some lines and curves on hard surfaces was extremely difficult for him. This resulted in some of Wang Hao’s runes looking like a sorry mess.
Wang Hao had no choice but to erase these runes and re-engrave them. “What a slowpoke! If it was me, I would have already finished way earlier than you, and you are not even halfway done!” Old Man angrily said as he pointed at the latest rune that Wang Hao engraved.
“Look at that s**t! Even a toddle can engrave a rune better than this!” “Oh shut up Old Man!” Wang Hao angrily replied as he angrily erased his latest rune.
“You know that not many people can just engrave a f**cking straight line! And you even want me to engrave some curves? You, you must be torturing me!”
“Tsk, just continue following my instructions and you will be fine.” Old Man said as he gave Wang Hao a look of pity. “Even if you suck at arts, with my intellectual teaching skills, you who possess two left hands can make a decent rune!”
“…….” Wang Hao just chose to not say anything as he focused on his matter at hand. Minutes passed by with Wang Hao quietly engraving runes on the ground.
“Hey, that one’s wrong too. Its upper part was more curved compared to the bottom. Erase that rune and engrave it again.”
“F**k!”
