Chapter 373 Difficult Runes
More than 40 years ago in the army, when Su Zhengnan went to the grassland to perform his mission, no one knew what kind of good luck he had—he came across the simple and kind-hearted Aruna and took her back to Yan Jing. At that time, the Su Family was in its golden age, and most of the family members who appreciated family social ranks were strongly against the marriage between the two families without an equal social rank.
Fortunately, Master Su was more open-minded and believed that the powerful Su Family did not need to rely on marriage to strengthen its power, so he overrode all objections and approved the marriage.
But no one expected that the grassland girl who looked gentle, virtuous, beautiful, and kind-hearted was a super-strong fighter. After living with her for several years as her husband, Su Zhengnan still had no idea about that. She hid her identity quite well.
Not until Su Zhengnan made the mistake that most men would make: He did not fully control his manhood, fooled around with a noted lady after getting drunk, and was found accidentally by Aruna.
The name Aruna stood for purity in the grassland language. Aruna, as her name implied, yearned for the flawless love. Just because of love, she left her hometown with Su Zhengnan and came to Yan Jing to give birth to children for him. Facing the ironic remarks of the Su family members, she remained submissive and smiled back at them. Thus, others would feel embarrassed to give her trouble. Indeed, she was a model of a good wife and mother.
However, facing Su Zhengnan’s betrayal, Aruna, who had been gentle, kind, and pure, was completely infuriated. Under her attack, the enter Su Family was shocked, and some special department of the nation which was also alarmed sent out strong fighters, hoping to catch her.
It was the battle between the peak-level fighters that made the Su Family realize the horror of the strong fighters who had reached the highest level of martial arts. At last, Aruna and the strong fighters of the special department reached a draw. They could not defeat each other, and then the battle ended. Without using deterrent weapons, the nation could not defeat her. Finally, the nation had no choice but to ask her not to conduct wrong killings.
Su Zhengnan regretted so much and entreated for Aruna’s forgiveness. Unfortunately, Aruna, who valued her pure feelings more important than anything else, did not forgive the man who betrayed her once. Downhearted, she left and traveled far to Ninghai to become a nun, and the Su Family had missed the opportunity to have a super-strong fighter. No doubt, this was the biggest regret of the Su Family and also the greatest pain of Master Su.
At that time, Su Ningxiang was still very young and did not know why her mother left her. In addition, Master Su gave the order, forbidding everyone to talk about it. In fact, no one wanted to mention it.
After all, Aruna was already heartbroken at that time and almost lost her sense. Apart from Master Su and her daughter Su Ningxiang, other members of the Su Family were under the threat of death. If the strong fighters of the special department had not arrived in time and fought her and relieved her fury, it was hard to tell what the Su Family would have ended like.
Su Ningxiang, who lost her mother’s love, had been hating her mother Aruna and thought that she was ruthless because she abandoned her husband and daughter, so that her father remained sad and decadent for so many years. Therefore, when she grew up, learned the truth, and also knew her mother lived as a nun in Ninghai, she was unwilling to see and accept her as her mother.
Her father made a mistake, so her mother could not forgive her father. That was understandable, but her mother hardened her heart to give up her child, so she thought that Aruna would never be worth her forgiveness.
On this trip to Ninghai, when she learned that her mother had even given up all her cultivations to save Ding Ning, she finally ended her hatred, and the mother and her daughter accepted each other.
Now she used her mother’s name for three reasons. One, she wanted to use her great influence to frighten those of the Su Family with evil intentions. Two, she wanted to protect Ding Ning and also find a reasonable reason for asking the Master of the Divine Burin to carve the jade for free, for she believed that these timid guys would not go and ask her mother. Three, the Zhao Family had been using their agents to watch her, knowing that she visited her mother once, and she wanted to use this chance to warn the members of the Zhao Family to restrain themselves a bit. After all, Aruna vented her anger with her great power at that time. Although the state had deliberately covered it up, making it unknown to the ordinary people, the spies of those great powers still found it.
The effect was obvious, and the result was perfect. Those of the Su Families with evil intentions were completely frightened and left with pale faces and a tail between their legs. Yes, this was a show of coming in high spirits and returning in low spirits.
Whether they would use plots behind Su Ningxiang or not, but now they looked kind and friendly at least and never dared to satirize or ridicule her in person like before anymore!
Apart from Master Su and Su Ningxiang, all others had left the yard.
Master Su took a sip of the tea and asked calmly, “Girl Xiang, met?”
“Met what?” Su Ningxiang felt nervous. Looking at the Master’s eyes that could seem to see everything through, she was a little unconfident and, playing dumb, asked.
Master Su said with a smile, “You look radiant, so the child must be excellent.”
“Grandpa, you, you have known.”
Su Ningxiang bit her lips tightly, drooping her head like a child who made a mistake.
“If there is a chance, take him to see me, the old man. No matter what, he has the blood of my Su Family.”
Master Su put down his teacup, closed his eyes, but did not show his mood.
“Okay, I’ll take him to see you when the time comes!”
Su Ningxiang responded with a worried voice. She didn’t know whether it was a disaster or a blessing to bring Ding Ning to the Su Family, but since the Master said that, it should not be bad for him. The only thing to worry about was the Zhao Family.
The Master was not in good health and did not go outdoors, so he might have no idea about how powerful the crazy expansion of the Zhao Family had become over the years. She was not ready to fight the Zhao Family in an all-round way, let alone these unworthy guys of the Su Family still held the family back.
“I’m afraid I won’t live to see that day!”
The Master sighed softly, and his voice was full of melancholy.
Su Ningxiang felt her nose was not comfortable, her eyes turned red, and she said, “Grandpa, I will ask him to see you as soon as possible. His medical skill is very good, and he will help you live healthy for a few more decades.”
“Hehe, okay, Girl Xiang, you don’t need to comfort me, for I know my health condition. I believe that the child’s medical skills must be as good as what you said, but I’m old. This is not an illness, this is my fate, and gods can’t cure me.”
Master Su waved his hand with a smile, leaned back on the lounger, and closed his eyes.
Knowing that the Master was tired and about to see off his guest, Sun Ningxiang moved her lips, then closed them, and did not say anything in the end. She bowed slightly and walked silently to the outside.
In the laboratory of No.1 villa of Ninghai Shengshi Huating Complex, Ding Ning rubbed his temples in a dispirited way. The five grams of red coral that he bought at a high price had been used up. The test result showed that the common red coral did not contain the substance that played the role of fusion, and it was impossible to make rejection drugs. It seemed that only the mutant red coral contained the substance that could be used for making rejection drugs, and the substance should be transformed from the skin of jellyfish after it was eaten by coral insects.
Ding Ning was not discouraged although he had not found a substitute. Anyway, it only needed a small amount to make a rejection drug. The amount of mutant red coral he had was enough for him to use for a long time.
After moving his neck a few times, he began to study Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique. This Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique was also packaged like Xuan Ji’s inheritance packaged to him, and it required him to open it by reading it with his Spiritual Strength.
As he read it with his Spiritual Strength, the Stone Man who had not moved for a long time suddenly flashed. As the light and Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique mixed with each other, large amounts of information flowed into his mind and almost burst his Spiritual Sea, with numerous ancient and obscure characters floating in his mind.
After a long time, Ding Ning slowly opened his eyes and became surprised.
The Spell of Savage Soldier’s Body was created by Chiyou with the weapon refining method he mastered. He refined his body like a weapon, and only his blood descendants could use this method to refine their body. Otherwise, they could not bear the violent medical power body-refining caused and would die.
But the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique was the body refining skill of the barbarians. The requirement was very low, and ordinary people could even practice with it.
Wuman, the so-called barbarian tribe, was actually a branch of Jiuli Tribe. To put it in plain language, it was the body cultivation that specialized in refining the body.
Ding Ning had been worried that Ling Yun had no talent for cultivation. Now with this Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique, Ling Yun could specialize in body cultivation and become a body cultivation practitioner.
In particular, he was in urgent need of developing his own power. With the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique, Xiaoniu and his other colleagues could practice with the pure physical strength cultivation method. Thinking about the situation that these guys would be able to compete with those Ancient Warriors only by relying on their physical strength in the future, Ding Ning felt that this was promising.
As for his roommates Zhang Haifeng and Wu Xian, Ding Ning had not found a suitable cultivation method for them until now, but now with Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique, all his problems had been solved.
What made him the happiest was that this Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique included two cultivation methods, with one being a pure cultivation method and the other being a combination of medicine and cultivation.
The combination of medicine and cultivation would allow the medicine to be fully integrated into the practitioner’s body to continuously strengthen his physique and improve his cultivation speed.
The speed of cultivation without medicine was not slow, but the cultivated physical strength was less than that of the cultivation with medicine, but it was much better than the ordinary physical exercise.
With this achievement, Ding Ning joyfully focused his attention on the golden foil, which, given by the Battle God Totem, was definitely great stuff.
Unfortunately, he could not recognize any of the runes on it. After trying it with his True Qi, Spiritual Strength, and Soul, he still found nothing, so he became quite depressed.
“F*ck, I don’t believe I can’t crack you. At most, I will copy these runes, consult some language experts, and let them tell me what these runes are.”
After taking out a sheet of paper and a pen, Ding Ning aimed at a changing tadpole-shaped rune and worked hard to remember its shape, hoping to copy it.
However, he became dumbfounded soon. It was true that the rune was clear in his mind, but he could not fully copy it and write it down on the paper no matter how hard he tried.
That kind of feeling was like picking up a pen but forgetting how to write the words. He clearly remembered the rune, but when he began to write it, he did not know how to write it no matter how hard he tried. It seemed that a mysterious power prevented him from copying it correctly.
“What runes are these? Why are they so magical?” Ding Ning became serious. “Runes with such magical power are not simple at all.”
This aroused the toughness in his bones. “I don’t believe I can’t even copy a rune.”
He kept copying it on the paper with his pen. After numerous times, he finished piecing together the first rune bit by bit.
But looking at the rune on the paper, which seemed to be made up of countless nodes, Ding Ning wanted to cry but had no tears. “It’s so much unlike the rune in my memory.”
Ding Ning was not someone who would admit defeat easily. The more difficult the rune was, the more interested he became. He corrected his attitude and continued to copy it with persistence. After a long time, hundreds of sheets of white paper were filled with the rune, but he still could not write down the seemingly simple rune.
Outside the laboratory, Luoxue and Ding Qianlie were waiting a little anxiously. Ding Ning had not come out yet since he went into the laboratory seven days ago. His mobile phone left outside had received numerous calls, and he had not even touched the food that Luoxue had sent in through the opened window.
If they could not see him crazily writing through the rough-edge bulletproof glass, they would think something bad had happened to him.
Although they wanted to break the door and walk in, they all knew Ding Ning’s habit. Once he began his experiment, he would forget to eat and sleep. Seeing him writing, they knew that he should have some progress in the ongoing experiment. Thus, they became more afraid to act rashly for fear of interrupting his thinking.
Time passed by bit by bit. At a certain moment when the two women could out help but rush in to take him out to eat something first, Ding Ning suddenly roared with laughter and great joy, and then the two women were relaxed. It seemed that this experiment had come to an end.
