Chapter 8

Rising Clouds City was filled with Martial Houses.

Every year, the closer it was to the Martial House recruitment, the tighter the security in the capital. If anyone dared to cause trouble at this time, the Imperial Family of the Flying Cloud Country would be the first to punish them!

Why did the Imperial Family place so much importance on the recruitment?

It was very simple. In this world where martial arts were respected, if the Flying Cloud Country wanted to prosper, it needed a steady stream of martial arts experts. The geniuses recruited by the various Martial Houses would undoubtedly become the cornerstone of the country in the future. As long as the Imperial Family had a bit of foresight, they would not allow anyone to cause trouble during the recruitment.

According to the usual practice, only the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion could recruit disciples on the first day of the recruitment. After the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion finished picking, it was the turn of the other Martial Houses to pick up the trash.

Early in the morning, there was already a sea of people outside the huge entrance of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. At a glance, there were probably no less than ten thousand people. Among these people, most of them were "examinees" and their parents.

The examinees were nervous as if they were about to enter the battlefield, while the parents were full of anticipation.

Every year, the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion recruited over a thousand outer disciples. Usually, there were a thousand outer disciples who had undergone the sixth rank, three hundred outer disciples who had undergone the fifth rank, and one hundred outer disciples who had undergone the fourth rank. With so many quotas, there were naturally many people who came to sign up.

Even so, it was not easy to enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. The first threshold was — — talent!

Outer disciples who had undergone the sixth rank were limited to seventeen years old; outer disciples who had undergone the fifth rank were limited to sixteen years old; and outer disciples who had undergone the fourth rank were limited to fifteen years old. Those who had the talent to meet the requirements were considered one in a hundred.

After that, the talented youths would have to compete with each other to become an Outer Pavilion disciple of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion!

It could be said that in the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, even an outer disciple was a one in a thousand genius!

"Everyone below, listen up!" The Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's entrance was over a hundred meters wide and there were a hundred steps outside the entrance. The person who shouted was sitting in the middle of the entrance. "All examinees, quickly go to your respective areas according to the number you registered yesterday! Unrelated people are not allowed to enter the examinees' area! "

The tens of thousands of examinees immediately surged forward. The parents of the examinees encouraged:

"Ah Huang, you must perform well. Today is the day to bring glory to your ancestors!"

…

"Hua, don't worry. I've already set up a good relationship for you. The other party said that you only need to go up and go through the motions!"

"Okay, Dad. Which relationship did you find? Is it strong enough?"

"It's the Bodhisattva from the temple!"

…

"Ah Niu, do whatever you want. Don't feel pressured. If you don't do well, you can just follow me home to herd cows!"

"Damn, how can I not feel pressured?"

…

Xu Ming was also in the crowd of examinees. He was not eye-catching at all.

Originally, Xu Ming wanted to accompany him, but he happened to be out on a mission. Helplessly, he couldn't come, so he could only let Xu Ming come alone.

"Hehe, Lin Mu Qing and the others definitely wouldn't have thought that I would actually come here!" The reason Xu Ming appeared here today was naturally to become an outer pavilion disciple of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. "If I stay in the capital, Lin Mu Qing will make a move on me sooner or later. I can't even hide! But if I enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion and become his fellow disciple, then I'll be much safer. The crime of killing fellow disciples is not light. I don't believe that Lin Mu Qing is willing to bear this crime. This way, he won't be able to deal with me too brazenly. "

Xu Ming had a cheat in his hands. As long as he was given some time, a mere Lin Mu Qing was nothing to be afraid of! And now, Xu Ming was thinking of ways to buy time for himself to level up!

"The one sitting in the middle of the entrance should be the person in charge of the outer pavilion, Wu Gaofeng. He's really powerful!" Xu Ming's gaze secretly glanced at the person who shouted just now. "Just by sitting there and casually shouting, his voice was as loud as a bell. Tens of thousands of people heard him clearly! His cultivation must have already surpassed the outer realm and stepped into the inner realm! "

Outer realm and inner realm were two completely different realms!

"En?"

Suddenly, a figure that left a deep impression on Xu Ming appeared in his line of sight.

"Lin Mu Qing!"

Then, Xu Ming saw Lin Mu Qing casually sitting next to Wu Gaofeng. He didn't know what they were talking about, but it was obvious that their relationship wasn't shallow.

"I didn't think that Lin Mu Qing would also come … But it's okay. With so many examinees, he shouldn't be able to see me!"

Indeed, Lin Mu Qing didn't notice Xu Ming. Among the tens of thousands of examinees, Xu Ming didn't stand out at all. Moreover, Lin Mu Qing didn't think that Xu Ming would dare to play the "knowing that there is a tiger in the mountain, but still going to the tiger's mountain" game.

"Brother Wu!" Lin Mu Qing smiled and said, "The elders really think highly of you. This time, you're fully in charge of the recruitment of new disciples!"

"Brother Lin!" Although Wu Gaofeng was the person in charge of the outer pavilion, he was still a mid-level cadre in the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. However, facing Lin Mu Qing, he was very polite, "It's just recruiting some outer pavilion disciples. This kind of small matter, the elders naturally won't bother with it!"

"You can't say it like that! The recruitment of new disciples is a big matter for our Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. In this batch of new disciples, there will definitely be a lot of inner pavilion disciples. There might even be one or two direct disciples! — — The elders gave such an important task to you, which shows how much trust they have in you! "

"There will definitely be inner pavilion disciples. As for direct disciples …" Wu Gaofeng shook his head, "An elder will only accept one or two direct disciples in their lifetime. For a talent like Brother Lin to appear in this batch of new disciples, it's difficult, difficult, difficult!"

If an elder could personally come from this batch of new disciples, then the benefits to Wu Gaofeng would naturally be self-evident. However, Wu Gaofeng also knew that the probability of this happening was very small.

"Haha …" Lin Mu Qing smiled and flattered Wu Gaofeng a few more times. Then, he suddenly changed the topic, "Brother Wu, I wonder if it's convenient for you to give me two spots?"

"Two spots?" Wu Gaofeng smiled casually, "It's a small matter, just say the word!"

"Thanks!" Lin Mu Qing didn't say anything else. A mere two spots as an outer pavilion disciple wasn't much. For example, Lin Han, who only had the cultivation of an outer pavilion disciple, had also been manipulated by Lin Mu Qing to become an outer pavilion disciple.

At this time, there was a bit of noise outside the sea of people.

"Someone from the royal family is here!" Wu Gaofeng quickly stood up. He had just received a message.

"Royal family?" Lin Mu Qing also stood up and looked outside the sea of people.

Generally speaking, when the royal family moved out, it would be very big. But this time, there was no formation at all.

After a while, Lin Mu Qing finally found someone from the royal family in the center of the noisy crowd, "I was wondering who it was. So it's Wen Shuai!"

Lin Mu Qing's tone was very disrespectful. It was obvious that he didn't put this royal family member called Wen Shuai in his eyes.

"Brother Lin, it's better to be quiet! No matter what, he's still a member of the royal family. It's not good to offend him! "Wu Gaofeng used his elbow to lightly poke Lin Mu Qing.

"Don't worry, Brother Wu, I know what I'm doing!" Lin Mu Qing followed Wu Gaofeng and unwillingly walked towards Wen Shuai.

… …

When the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's recruitment ceremony was about to officially begin, in the sparse crowd outside, two people had appeared at some unknown time. A playboy wearing luxurious clothes and a jade belt, waving a folding fan, and his servant girl.

Although this playboy had an imposing appearance, he didn't attract much attention. On the contrary, the servant girl beside him had a refined temperament. Every time someone passed by, they couldn't help but take a few more glances.

But if the true upper echelons of Rising Clouds City saw these two people, their attention would definitely not be on the servant girl. In fact, many people didn't even dare to look at the servant girl for fear of offending this playboy! This was because this playboy had a very famous name in the capital — Palace Master Gu!

The servant girl looked at the crowd in front of her and was a bit impatient, "I said little …"

"You can call me whatever you want at home, but outside, you have to show me some respect!" The playboy interrupted, "If someone else hears this, it won't be good!"

The servant girl stuck out her tongue, "Yes, Palace Master!"

"That's right!" The playboy, Palace Master Gu, nodded in satisfaction.

"I say, Palace Master, this Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion is too domineering! Every time they recruit, we have to wait for them to finish picking before it's our Savage Martial House's turn. This way, how can we recruit good seedlings? " The servant girl complained, "Now, our Savage Martial House is still being suppressed by the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. Many people even think that we're inferior to them!"

"Little Ran, what other people think is their business!" Palace Master Gu said indifferently, "Besides, they're all mediocre people. It doesn't make a difference to us if there are more or less of them. On the contrary, we can save some resources!"

"Then why are you still here today?"

"Since I have nothing to do, I'll just take a look and treat it as a shopping trip! Also, if I really see any geniuses, I'll snatch them even if I have to! "

"Geniuses?" The servant girl Kieran didn't think much of it, "How can there be any real geniuses in this small place.

Chapter 9

The Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's recruitment test started with the candidates who had completed the sixth rank of the external training.

The area under the candidates' feet had long been set up by the experts of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. Wu Gaofeng pressed the talisman in his hand, and the formation was immediately activated.

"Boom!"

A nine-storey pagoda with densely packed formation runes circulating around it appeared out of thin air, enveloping all the examinees in the entire outer cultivation sixth rank area.

Many low-level martial artists had never seen such a mysterious formation before, and the scene was instantly filled with gasps of surprise.

As for those who were familiar with the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's test formation, they arrogantly explained to the people around them, "How would you know that the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion has a total of twelve formation pagodas like this!"

"Twelve?" The martial artists who didn't know were all shocked.

"There are three main gates. You've already seen one, and the other two are in the fourth and fifth rank external training areas! The other nine pagodas are scattered around the periphery of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion — these formation pagodas are not only used for the test, but also for the pavilion's protective formation! I heard that when all twelve formation pagodas are activated at the same time, even innate masters wouldn't dare to barge in! "

"Wow, even innate masters wouldn't dare to barge in!?"

To the low-level martial artists, innate masters were a legend. After all, there were only a few innate masters in the entire Flying Cloud Country. Hearing that even innate masters wouldn't dare to barge in, these martial artists started imagining the scene of the twelve formation pagodas being activated at the same time.

At this time, Wu Gaofeng circulated his inner strength and shouted, "Candidates in the formation, don't panic! You must have noticed that the people around you are all gone because you are in a special independent space. Now, what you need to do is to choose your weapon and prove your strength! "

"Just a reminder, if you feel that your life is in danger, quickly admit defeat. Otherwise, you will really lose your life!"

Just as Wu Gaofeng finished speaking, there were some changes in the formation pagodas.

On the pagodas, the number of candidates on each level appeared. At first, the first level was "8957", but soon, this number quickly decreased, and the second level's number quickly increased. As for the third level and above, it all showed "0".

On top of the pagoda, a huge projection appeared, projecting the situation on the ninth level. Of course, the ninth level was empty now.

"It's starting!"

Countless people stared at the array formation pagoda nervously and expectantly, hoping that one of their own would appear on the ninth level.

"I heard that according to the previous years, out of the nine thousand people, two to three thousand would be able to reach the ninth floor. After that, these two to three thousand people will fight each other. In the end, the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion will choose one thousand Outer Pavilion disciples based on their performance! " Xu Ming studied. "As for who will be chosen, it's entirely up to the person in charge of recruiting new recruits. But basically, the further one perseveres on the ninth level, the higher the probability of being chosen."

Seconds later, the number on the third level started to jump. This meant that some examinees had already reached the third level.

Wu Gaofeng, Lin Muqing, and the others from the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion were also paying close attention to the changes in the numbers.

Lin Muqing sneaked a glance at Wen Shuai, who was not far away. His eyes were filled with disdain. "Wen Shuai? The Third Prince? If not for Old Man Du supporting him, how could he have the qualifications to compete with the First Prince? Humph, even if there's Elder Du helping him, it also can't change anything! "

Lin Muqing, or perhaps the entire Lin Family, was clearly part of the First Prince's faction.

"He wants to take advantage of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's recruitment to find some talented people? What a joke! Many elders of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion have already expressed their support for the First Prince. If there really is a talented new disciple, how could it be Wen Shuai's turn? "

Lin Muqing sneered in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on the surface. This was because the unremarkable old man beside Wen Shuai was the legendary figure of the Flying Cloud Country — Old Man Du!

As time passed, the numbers on the tower increased. However, at the same time, numbers appeared on the first level again. This meant that some examinees felt threatened during the assessment and admitted defeat to the first level.

As time passed, the numbers on the first level increased. Examinees who returned to the first level did not have the qualifications to climb the tower again.

Suddenly, the number "0" on the ninth level jumped. In the projection at the top of the tower, the figure of an arrogant and confident young man appeared.

"He's here!" Wen Shuai excitedly watched. This person was the first to reach the top of the ninth level, which meant that his talent was not weak.

Old Man Du, who was beside Wen Shuai, squinted his eyes as if he would fall asleep at any moment. "It's good to be young, showing off so much …"

As more and more examinees reached the top of the tower, more and more examinees reached the ninth level, but were forced back to the first level by other examinees. There were even some examinees who admitted defeat too slowly or were ambushed from behind. They didn't have time to realize the danger and directly lost their lives.

"A bunch of trash!" Lin Muqing disdainfully looked at the examinees on the ninth level.

He was a direct disciple and had already stepped into internal training at such a young age. He indeed had the qualifications to be arrogant.

"Watching these cats and dogs fight is really boring!" Lin Muqing's eyes casually wandered around.

Suddenly —

"Yi —" Lin Muqing was surprised to see a familiar figure in the outer fourth rank examination area. He carefully looked, "Isn't this Xu Ming? Why is he in the outer fourth rank examination area?"

Lin Muqing thought for a moment and quickly came to a conclusion that he thought was correct. "I know, this brat must have deliberately hidden his cultivation! He was originally an outer fourth rank cultivator, but purposely pretended to be an outer first rank cultivator so that Lin Han could bully him. Then, he swallowed his anger and went to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion to start the new examination. He wanted to take the opportunity to sneak into the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion! — — He really can endure! "

Lin Muqing couldn't help but feel that Xu Ming's endurance was really good. He was actually able to endure until now. But how could he have thought that Xu Ming didn't endure at all and had completely relied on cheating to rapidly increase his cultivation in these past few days.

"So good at enduring, he really is a sinister and terrifying person!" A sinister smile appeared on Lin Muqing's face. "If I hadn't accidentally discovered him, he really would have snuck into the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. At that time, if I wanted to make a move on him, I would have to put in a lot of effort! But … I can only say that his luck is too bad. He was actually discovered by me! It just so happens that I was thinking about when to secretly take care of him. Since he delivered himself to my door, then there's no need to pick a day! "

"Brother Wu!" Lin Muqing said in a low voice. "Can you help me arrange for my two people to be in the outer fourth rank cultivator area?"

"Arrange for them to be in the outer fourth rank cultivator area?" Wu Gaofeng frowned. "They are outer fifth rank cultivators. Could it be that they don't even have the strength to reach the top of the outer fifth rank pagoda? As long as they can reach the ninth floor, I guarantee that they will enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion! "

"No, it's …" Lin Muqing leaned over and whispered his thoughts.

"Oh … I understand, I understand!" Wu Gaofeng smiled. "I'll arrange it now!"

"Hehe, thank you! That's right, bring my two people over first. I'll explain things to them! "

"Okay!"

Lin Muqing looked coldly at Xu Ming. "Brat, you better pray that you don't reach the ninth floor. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving with your life!"

Chapter 10

Because of the specialized assessment array, the progress of the assessment was very fast.

Wu Gaofeng, who was in charge of the recruitment process, actually had nothing to do. He only needed to sit there and chat with the people next to him while his assistants recorded the results of the outstanding candidates.

It was no wonder that the elders of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion were too lazy to attend such a routine and boring assessment.

By noon, the external training fifth and sixth transition assessments had all ended. A total of one thousand and three hundred candidates had become members of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion as they wished. Among them, some relied on their strength, some relied on luck, and of course, there were also those who relied on their connections.

"Elder Du?" The Third Prince Wen Shuai looked at the assessment all morning. There was no trace of fatigue on his face, but it was hard to hide his disappointment.

"Sigh …" Elder Du shook his head slightly and said in a low voice, "They're all very average! None of them have the talent to become a direct disciple of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's elders! "

"Then they're not worth our effort to rope them in?"

"It's not worth it to have no hope of becoming an Innate Master! We've spent a lot of resources and energy, but the result is that we can only cultivate an internal training martial artist. There's no meaning at all! "

"Alright …" Wen Shuai sighed softly.

It's easy to get a thousand gold coins, but hard to find a genius. If he wanted to cultivate a direct disciple, it would be even more difficult!

"There's still the last assessment!" However, Wen Shuai didn't have much expectations for the last assessment. After all, this was the weakest group.

… …

"It's finally my turn!"

Xu Ming looked at Lin Muqing from afar. Sure enough, Lin Muqing was smiling evilly at him.

"I've been targeted! I don't know what kind of trick he's using to deal with me, but I'm afraid it'll be very difficult for me to enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion this time! "Xu Ming didn't have any good ideas." I can only deal with the situation as it arises! If I'm exceptionally eye-catching in the next assessment, or even last until the end, they might have no choice but to recruit me! "

Although the recruitment assessment had its tricks, it couldn't be too blatant. Otherwise, if it provoked the elders of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, Wu Gaofeng, who was in charge of the recruitment, would have to bear the consequences.

Therefore, if Xu Ming's performance was really amazing, it was still possible for him to enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion.

"Boom!"

The last formation pagoda rose into the air.

Xu Ming only felt a blur in front of his eyes before the people and scenery around him disappeared. In their place was a room filled with all kinds of weapons.

"Choose your weapon!"

Weapons?

Without a doubt, Xu Ming did not know how to use any weapons.

"Then let's have a spear!"

Since he didn't know how to use anything, Xu Ming naturally had to choose a weapon that could give him a sense of security, as well as a mighty and domineering weapon. An inch longer, an inch stronger, and a spear was a very good choice.

Of course, the main reason why Xu Ming chose the spear was because it was the hardest to train!

The spear was the hardest to train in. Thus, after mastering the spear arts, one's might would be extremely great! As for Xu Ming, as long as he activated the "Perfect Battle" hack, he would be able to temporarily attain the mastery level of his gun skills!

Imagine if Xu Ming wielded a long spear and activated the "Perfect Combat" hack. Wouldn't he be able to wipe out an entire army? This was something that sabers, swords, and other weapons could not compare to.

Picking up his weapon, Xu Ming quickly entered the second floor and began his challenge.

Tower climbing was actually a test of the examinee's overall strength. There were tests of strength, speed, agility, etc. There were also tests of actual combat with illusionary beasts.

Xu Ming's cultivation was achieved through hacking all the way, so it was incomparably sturdy. Moreover, his cultivation method, "Mortal Duel", sounded very awesome. Even if he did not activate the "Perfect Battle", it would be hard to find an opponent of the same level. Naturally, it was not a problem for him to challenge the tower.

However, the first to reach the ninth floor was not Xu Ming, but a pair of twin brothers — Lin Yan and Lin Miao.

"Lin Miao, isn't Young Master Qing looking down on us too much? To sneak attack an external practitioner, he actually needs both of us to attack together! "In the empty ninth floor, there were only the two of them. The impatient Lin Yan could not help but complain.

"This only shows how much Young Master Qing wants that person to die!" Lin Miao's personality was very calm, "When we do things later, you cannot have this attitude. You must be diligent!"

"I know! We brothers were born in a remote branch of the Lin clan. We have neither talent nor background. If not for Young Master Qing, I'm afraid we would not be able to enter Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion in this lifetime! Now that Young Master Qing has something to tell us, we must do it wholeheartedly! "

"That's right!"

Lin Yan and Lin Miao's strength could only be considered average among the external practitioners of the fifth rank. Although they could reach the top of the Rank Five assessment tower, if they wanted to rely on their strength to become an external disciple of Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, they were still far from it.

However, even the weakest external practitioner of the fifth rank could easily crush an external practitioner of the fourth rank. Every rank of the external practitioner of the sixth rank was a metamorphosis of life.

"Eh?" Elder Du, who was looking down, exclaimed softly, "There are actually two external practitioners of the fifth rank. Seems like there's something fishy going on!"

However, this kind of thing was often seen during Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's recruitment. It could be considered a tacit unspoken rule. Moreover, in the entire scene, other than Elder Du, Manor Head Gu, and a few other super experts, no one else could accurately determine Lin Yan and Lin Miao's cultivation.

Not long after, more examinees arrived at the ninth floor one after another. However, this batch of examinees who arrived first were not in a hurry to make a move. This was because they all understood that those who could reach the top so quickly would not be easy to deal with.

The two brothers, Lin Yan and Lin Miao, also stood quietly in a corner, not in a hurry to make a move. They only had one mission — to take advantage of the chaos and sneak attack Xu Ming to kill him!

"The ninth floor!" After Xu Ming killed a fox-shaped demonic beast created by the formation, he also successfully reached the top. "There are already more than ten people!"

Xu Ming looked around vigilantly, then found a relatively safe place to stand.

Soon, examinees who reached the top sprung up like bamboo shoots after the rain. When the number of examinees on the ninth floor reached more than seventy, it was unknown who was the first to make a move.

Clang!

The sound of swords clashing broke the silence. The examinees all made their moves. Almost in an instant, some of the weaker examinees saw blood.

Not far from Xu Ming, an examinee who was holding a long, narrow saber quickly approached. It was obvious that he wanted to get close to him and prevent Xu Ming from using his spear.

"Scram!!" Xu Ming directly swung his spear without any skill.

In terms of strength, Xu Ming was already stronger than the examinee with the long, narrow saber. Under the furious smash of the long spear, the examinee was sent flying back a few steps.

"What a strong strength!" The examinee with the long, narrow saber felt the web between his thumb and index finger go numb. He also realized that Xu Ming was a tough persimmon that was not easy to deal with. He quickly changed his direction and looked for other people to make a move.

However, as the number of examinees who reached the top of the ninth floor increased, Xu Ming also found it difficult to stay out of this. Unknowingly, he was forced to join the chaotic battle.

Although Xu Ming wanted to amaze everyone and even fight to the end, he felt that Lin Muqing must have arranged some methods to deal with him. Therefore, he also had a backup plan and was not in a hurry to use the "perfect battle" hack.

"Ah!"

"Die!"

"I admit defeat!"

The sounds of fighting, screams, and the sound of weapons clashing continuously rang out.

Some examinees realized the danger and immediately admitted defeat. They were then sent back to the first floor by the array. There were also some examinees who did not even have the time to display their full strength and were unwilling to admit defeat. In the end, they hesitated and lost their lives in the hands of other examinees who had gone berserk.

Lin Yan and Lin Miao were not in a hurry to display their full strength. They only defended and dealt with the attacks while quietly moving towards Xu Ming's position.

"Hehe …" Lin Muqing, who was watching the battle from outside, looked at the Lin brothers' performance with satisfaction. "Two Rank Five external cultivators sneak attacking a Rank Four external cultivator. There is no reason for them not to die! Hmph, you still want to sneak into the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion? There is a path to heaven but you don't want to take it. There is no door to hell but you want to throw yourself into it! "

The battle on the ninth floor was still ongoing.

Maybe it was because Xu Ming's performance was slightly better, causing the surrounding people to feel the competitive pressure. There were actually three examinees who attacked Xu Ming from three directions at the same time.

In an instant, the pressure on Xu Ming increased explosively!

If he was bare-handed, Xu Ming could still barely resist. But now, everyone had weapons in their hands, and Xu Ming did not know how to use a spear. Wanting him to fight one against three, Xu Ming only wanted to say — — This concubine cannot do it!

"Now!"

The two brothers, Lin Yan and Lin Miao, who had unknowingly arrived behind Xu Ming, attacked at the same time with incomparable tacit understanding. The strength of an external cultivator of Rank Five completely erupted!

The two's sword skills, one was masculine and the other sinister, and their speed was extremely fast. With such an unexpected sneak attack from behind, Xu Ming might not even have the time to admit defeat before he was attacked!

"Good!" Lin Muqing could not help but shout.

The spectator had a clear view. In his opinion, this time, Xu Ming would definitely die. He would not even have the chance to admit defeat!

"Five people attacking one person?" Although the area where Xu Ming was at was only a small part of the battlefield, there were still many people who happened to see it. They could not help but observe a moment of silence for Xu Ming. "This kid must have offended someone he should not have offended. Otherwise, he would not be targeted like this!"

Just when everyone who saw this scene thought that Xu Ming would definitely die, Xu Ming himself also felt an incomparably huge crisis!

In a flash, Xu Ming did not even have the time to shout "admit defeat".

"F * ck, the people Lin Muqing arranged are so sinister!" Xu Ming was sure that the two opponents who suddenly attacked from behind were definitely prepared.

At this moment, Xu Ming only had one last trump card left.

"'Perfect Battle' cheat, activate!"

In an instant, as if time had stopped, Xu Ming felt that his perspective had completely changed!

The world around him seemed to have suddenly become incomparably clear. The moves of the people around him also seemed to have started to slow down. Moreover, they became full of flaws.

Xu Ming even felt that facing the attacks of the five opponents from all directions, even if it was such a hopeless situation, he still had a hundred ways to break out of it!

Of course, this was an exaggeration, but Xu Ming truly felt that it was not difficult to break out of this situation!

They only saw Xu Ming's wrist strangely shake the spear shaft, and the spear drew a strange trajectory. The tip of the spear appeared in five space points in an incomparably exquisite manner, and these five space points were the weakest points of the five besiegers.

Many people did not see what was going on at all. They only saw a flash in front of their eyes, and Xu Ming had already broken out of the situation.

Chapter 11

"What's wrong, Elder Du?" Third Prince Wen Shuai immediately noticed Elder Du's strange behavior.

"Don't speak!"

Elder Du closed his eyes again, but his heart could not calm down for a long time. "How is this possible? He's only fifteen years old and has only reached the fourth Transformation. How can he have such spear skills and such a realm? "

One must know that even Elder Du, who was hailed as the legend of Flying Cloud Country, had to spend several decades to reach such a realm!

Elder Du secretly glanced at Lin Mu Qing and Wu Gao Feng. Although he saw surprise and shock on their faces, they obviously did not realize what Xu Ming's performance meant.

"Luckily, Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion did not send any elders to participate in this recruitment!"

Elder Du secretly heaved a sigh of relief. Only a Xiantian master would be able to understand the terror of Xu Ming. Even Wu Gao Feng, the person in charge of the outer pavilion, could not understand even though his cultivation had already reached the peak of inner training!

"And from the looks of it, he seems to have a deep grudge with Lin Mu Qing …"

Elder Du narrowed his eyes and transmitted his voice, "Third Prince, we've picked up a treasure this time! Moreover, it was a real treasure! His talent is the best I've ever seen in my life. His future achievements will definitely not be below mine! "

"Ah?" Wen Shuai could not believe his ears.

In his impression, although Elder Du looked calm and collected, he was actually a very prideful person. He had never seen Elder Du give such a high evaluation of someone before! Furthermore, Elder Du usually did not speak with absolute certainty. But this time, Elder Du used words such as "the best I've ever seen in my life" and "will definitely not". It was enough to show the agitation in Elder Du's heart!

"Don't make a sound. Just pretend you don't know anything!" Elder Du transmitted his voice again, "It's the one who forced back five people with one spear. Two of them were even at the fifth Transformation. You just have to watch carefully!"

Wen Shuai naturally understood Elder Du's intentions and pretended that nothing had happened. But his eyes were fixed on Xu Ming's body. His hands were trembling with excitement. A thousand gold was easy to obtain, but a genius was hard to find! He was thirsty for talent. This time, he had finally found a true genius!

And the next step, what he needed to do was to think of a way to rope this genius youngster in.

"That's right!" Elder Du added on, "Go back and investigate this youngster's background, and whether there's any grudge between him and Lin Mu Qing."

Wen Shuai secretly nodded his head.

After saying this, Elder Du's attention now. He wanted to see if Xu Ming was lucky enough to display that spear skill just now, or if he really had true Talent.

Of course, even if he was lucky enough to use it once, it was enough to prove Xu Ming's talent. If it was someone with slightly less talent, they wouldn't even be able to get out by luck!

But the more as he looked, the more, the more, the more shocked Elder's.

"Stage Spear skill's's. Level skill skill skill skill. Close to the Advanced Stage … Even if he started cultivating when he was in his mother's womb, he shouldn't be so abnormal … "Old Man Du's gaze was complicated." Such a genius is absolutely not a fish in a pond, and the Feiyun Kingdom is utterly unable to accommodate him! .. Even if he's placed in those super forces, he's probably a top genius! "

When Old Man Du was young, he had traveled all over the world, and he had also wandered the vast world outside of Feiyun Country. He had also seen the geniuses of some great powers, but in Old Man Du's opinion, even those geniuses were probably inferior to Xu Ming.

Just like Elder Du, Manor Head Gu and his maid Kieran were also shocked.

"Just a step away from 'Minute Subtlety'?" Kieran might be a maid, but she was a genuine Xiantian expert. "Feiyun Country, this small place, actually has such a monster?"

Manor Head Gu smiled mysteriously. "This trip to the Feiyun Nation wasn't in vain!"

Once Xu Ming activated his cheat, the following battles were no longer suspenseful. In just a few rounds, the three examinees who had teamed up against him could not hold on and admitted defeat one after another.

Lin Yan and Lin Miao were obviously not Xu Ming's match. It was a pity that the two of them were external practitioners of the Fifth Transformation, but they were beaten by Xu Ming who was an external practitioner of the Fourth Transformation. Who knew if this would leave a shadow in their hearts and affect their future cultivation.

"This brat is really an external practitioner of the Fourth Transformation?" Lin Yan and Lin Miao wanted to cry but had no tears. "Young Master Qing wouldn't have purposely given us an impossible mission, right?"

Bang!

Bang!

The two struggled for more than ten rounds before their weapons were both knocked away.

"Die!" Xu Ming's gaze was cold.

After digesting the remaining memories, Xu Ming had integrated many of the values of this world. For example, in this world, fighting and killing was a very common thing.

So, when Xu Ming fought, he could really kill!

"Admit defeat!"

"Admit defeat!"

Lin Yan and Lin Miao shouted almost at the same time.

"This, this, what is this situation?" The sudden change in the situation made Lin Muqing completely dumbfounded. Only when the Lin brothers were defeated did he regain his senses.

However, Lin Muqing's strength was limited, and his vision was also limited. He was stunned for a long time but still could not understand why Xu Ming was so strong.

"Brother Wu?"

Lin Muqing looked at Wu Gaofeng, but Wu Gaofeng also had a blank expression.

Then, Lin Muqing secretly glanced at Wen Shuai and Old Man Du, but he saw that their expressions were normal, as if they did not notice Xu Ming's eruption just now.

"The strength this brat just displayed, I'm afraid it's close to the Sixth Transformation!"

Lin Muqing was unable to accurately judge Xu Ming's strength and could only speculate from Xu Ming's fights with others. However, his speculations were quite accurate. At this time, Xu Ming's strength was almost at the Fifth Transformation, but he was still a bit away from the Sixth Transformation.

"Hmph!!" Lin Muqing coldly snorted. He looked at Xu Ming with eyes filled with killing intent, "He hid it too deeply. This kind of enemy cannot be left alive! — — Don't you want to enter the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion? I'll make sure you can't enter! When the country's martial law is lifted, I'll kill you at all costs! "

"Brother Wu, help me with one more thing!"

"This …" Wu Gaofeng obviously knew what Lin Muqing wanted to say, "His performance was too amazing. If you keep him outside, what if he makes an elder unhappy …"

"If there are any consequences, I'll bear all of them! This brat is too good at enduring. I can't let him live, I'll kill him later! "

"Then … Alright, think of an excuse."

"Isn't the excuse simple? Just say he used a forbidden medicine! "Lin Muqing said indifferently.

"Alright!"

Although Wu Gaofeng agreed, he was clear in his heart that Xu Ming definitely did not use a forbidden medicine. Because if he used a forbidden medicine, it would only increase his strength. Xu Ming obviously relied on his skills to win, so his strength was still at the Fourth Transformation.

"Who cares!" Wu Gaofeng was already used to doing this kind of thing. This time, he did it without any guilt, "But this brat is really fierce as if he ate a forbidden medicine! It's a pity that he offended Lin Muqing, he won't live long! "

In the following exam, Xu Ming seemed to be very relaxed. After the surrounding examinees saw him beat five people by himself, they did not dare to provoke him!

Moreover, the other examinees all thought that based on Xu Ming's performance just now, he had already taken a spot. Even if they attacked together and sent Xu Ming back to the first floor, they would not be able to make Xu Ming lose that spot. Simply speaking, making a move on Xu Ming was a completely meaningless thing.

But the examinees on the ninth floor did not know that because of Lin Muqing's interference, Xu Ming's performance was in vain no matter how amazing it was.

"Eh, wasn't I too high profile just now?" Xu Ming found that there was a no man's land around him. The examinees were all avoiding him like he was the plague.

"Damn, if you guys had avoided me earlier, you wouldn't have wasted my 'perfect battle'. I only have one chance to use it for free!" Xu Ming was not without depression. Activating a 'perfect battle' was very expensive. It was equivalent to ten days of hack points!

For example, Xu Ming was currently a Fourth Stage External Practitioner. Activating a 'perfect battle' would cost him forty hack points. After using it for free this time, even if Xu Ming used up all his assets, he would not be able to activate a 'perfect battle'!

"However, 'perfect battle' is really powerful once I activate it!" Xu Ming wished that he could have a few more opponents to let him have a good time.

Fortunately, very quickly, there were new examinees that reached the ninth floor.

Some of the examinees that appeared not too far away from Xu Ming saw that Xu Ming's business was cold and no one was paying attention to him. They all came over to him in a daze. Fortunately, Xu Ming was not a homicidal maniac. He would not be so ruthless to these examinees who had no enmity with him. He only lightly teased them and did not let them admit defeat. He directly sent them to find other examinees to play with.

The examinees that were 'released' by Xu Ming were naturally fearful and grateful towards Xu Ming. And Xu Ming's expert demeanor was also quietly imprinted in their hearts. There were even a few who could still recall Xu Ming's calm and collected expert image many years later.

Xu Ming, who activated the 'perfect battle' hack, undoubtedly fought to the end. Even at the end of the stage, the remaining eight examinees joined forces to deal with Xu Ming. They were still defeated.

After the examination ended, Wu Gaofeng stood up.

"A total of one hundred Fourth Stage External Practitioner examinees can become Feiyun Martial Pavilion's Outer Pavilion disciples!"

Chapter 12

The hundred examinees who reappeared on the ninth floor had different expressions on their faces. Some of them thought it was natural, while others were surprised.

"Good job!"

"That's great!"

The relatives and friends of the examinees cheered one after another.

"Haha, my son has entered the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. Let's see who dares to look down on our Xiao family!" A bearded middle-aged man danced and laughed.

His son was a young man who used a saber.

The young man was full of anger. "Hmph, bitch, how dare you break off my engagement! Now that I'm a member of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, what kind of woman can't I find? But … I'll definitely make you regret what you've done! "

Similar situations happened to a few other examinees.

To many ordinary people, becoming an external disciple of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion was like reaching the heavens in a single bound! Under the training of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, they had almost a hundred percent chance of breaking through external training and stepping into internal training!

The difference between internal training and external training was like heaven and earth. Internal training martial artists were experts no matter where they were in the Flying Cloud Country!

Moreover, the internal cultivators from the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion were not only more powerful than those who came from unorthodox backgrounds, but the most frightening thing was that they would have a lot of good friends who were also internal cultivators!

If anyone was bullied, these schoolmates and good friends would immediately come to their aid!

"Eh? Mansion Master? "Kieran exclaimed," That monster didn't make it! "

"I found out!" Mansion Master Gu laughed. "Needless to say, someone must have done something!"

"Is that Wu Gaofeng stupid? He actually dared to reject such a monster! "

"Isn't this good? It saves me the trouble of asking for him from the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion!"

Wen Shuai and Elder Du's attention had always been on Xu Ming. However, after the results came out, they searched back and forth a few times but could not find Xu Ming's figure.

"He didn't make it?"

Wen Shuai and Elder Du looked at each other and saw a hint of joy in each other's eyes.

"It's good that he didn't make it!"

The First Prince had great influence in the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. If Xu Ming didn't make it, then it would be difficult for Wen Shuai to rope him in.

"Even with such a stunning performance, he still wasn't selected. It's almost certain that there's a grudge between him and Lin Muqing!" Old Man Du said, "This Lin Muqing is clearly a member of the First Prince's faction. His enemies are our friends!"

"Yes!"

"I just don't know …" Elder Du sighed inwardly, "Do we have that much time to wait for him to grow up …"

There were also many martial artists present who were stunned by Xu Ming's performance just now. These people searched for a while, but they didn't see Xu Ming being selected. So, they started to discuss among themselves. Many of them even questioned the fairness of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's recruitment.

"Quiet down and listen to me!" Wu Gaofeng stood up and shouted without blushing or skipping a beat, "The young man with the gun that you're talking about, after verification, we've determined that he has taken a forbidden drug!"

Taking forbidden drugs?

The crowd was stunned.

Immediately after, the scene exploded into a frenzy.

"F * * k, I knew it!" There were martial artists who were jealous of Xu Ming's talent. Now that they heard Wu Gaofeng say this, they immediately shouted excitedly, "I was wondering how an external fourth rank cultivator could be so strong. So he took a forbidden drug!"

"Really shameful, cheating in the assessment. Luckily Pavilion Lord Wu is wise!" Wu Gaofeng was the person in charge of the external pavilion. There were people who flattered him and deliberately called him "Pavilion Lord Wu" in front of him. Of course, Wu Gaofeng was happy to hear this kind of distorted title.

"Pavilion Lord Wu, what's the name of that shameless person?"

"That's right, Pavilion Lord Wu. Expose him and make sure he can't enter the other Martial Houses!"

Wu Gaofeng showed a compassionate attitude, "Young people will always make mistakes. We have to give him a chance. I hope he can turn over a new leaf in the future!"

"Pavilion Lord Wu is really benevolent!"

"Pavilion Lord Wu is really generous!"

There was another round of praises. It was unknown which bootlicker in the crowd said it.

"I know that person. His name is Xu Ming. He's from Yi City!" Just as the praises died down a little, one of Lin Muqing's underlings shouted from the crowd.

Immediately, the ignorant crowd labeled Xu Ming: from Yi City, taking a forbidden drug!

"Hmph!" Lin Mu Qing sneered inwardly, "I will first ruin your reputation. Then, when the martial law is lifted, I will find a chance to play you to death! Haha, hahahaha … "

When the formation pagoda dissipated, Xu Ming shook his head and walked out, "Lin Mu Qing is really rough and direct. My performance was so amazing, but he still doesn't let me enter!"

"If he doesn't let me enter Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, I'll just go to Savage Martial House!" Xu Ming had heard that although the Savage Martial House did not seem to be as powerful as the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, it had a deeper foundation and a higher status in the capital. "It's just that I don't have another perfect battle right now. I don't know if I'll be able to pass the recruitment test."

However, Xu Ming was still very confident. After all, there weren't many people who were stronger than him at the same level. Moreover, the effects of the "perfect battle" cheat were still in effect. In this state, Xu Ming's realm was also rapidly increasing. This was the additional benefit of using the "perfect battle" cheat.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Xu Ming realized that many people were staring at him. Moreover, their gazes were very strange.

When he listened carefully —

"Look, it's him. He's the one who took the forbidden drug to participate in the test!"

"How shameful!"

"He wants to enter Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion without strength!"

… …

"It seems like they are all talking about me? Taking the forbidden drug? " Xu Ming looked at the disdainful gazes coming from all directions and Lin Muqing's mocking smile on the stage. He immediately understood. "It must be Lin Muqing's doing … There's nothing much to say. Anyway, ever since I came to this world, he and I have been in a situation where we won't rest until one of us is dead! — You can keep laughing. If I don't die, you will! "

Under the condemnation of everyone, Xu Ming walked out steadily and unhurriedly, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"As long as I have time, I will naturally let these people know how stupid they are now!"

Of course, there were also a few martial artists with brains present who smelled that there was definitely something fishy going on in the matter of Xu Ming not being selected. However, because they smelled something fishy, a few spies who wanted to invite Xu Ming didn't dare to do so. They didn't dare to offend Wu Gaofeng!

When Xu Ming walked out of the crowd, a voice suddenly rang in his ears. "Kid, I'm really starting to think more and more highly of you!"

Xu Ming's eyes widened. "Sound Transmission Technique, it's an Innate Master!"

He looked around but didn't find anything.

Chapter 13

"Gu Hanmo? That name sounds familiar, I think I've heard it somewhere before. "

Xu Ming thought carefully, then suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Isn't the Martial House Master of the Savage Martial House Gu Hanmo?"

Martial House Master Gu Hanmo actually paid attention to me, and even personally transmitted his voice to me? — — Xu Ming felt that it was very inconceivable.

"Could it be that someone is playing with me?"

From Xu Ming's point of view, he was just a mere Fourth Transformation External Practitioner, not even an Inner Practitioner. Even if his performance was a bit stunning, it wouldn't be enough to alarm that mysterious Big Boss!

"But, transmission is the specialty of Innate Masters! Which Innate Master would be so bored as to deliberately tease me! — — Who cares, I'll just go home and wait! "

Xu Ming wasn't worried that the Innate Master who secretly transmitted his voice would have any ill intentions towards him, because … … Was he worthy?

If the Innate Master really wanted to harm him, there was no need to waste words with him, just a simple flick of a finger would be enough to kill him.

… …

Just as Xu Ming stepped into his house, two people followed him in.

One was a dashing playboy who was waving a folding fan, and the other was his maid.

"They're both experts!"

Xu Ming's "Perfect Battle" hack was still in effect, and these two people were able to follow him into his house without him noticing. It was clear that their strength far surpassed his.

"You two are …?"

Xu Ming didn't associate these two people with Gu Hanmo, after all, from his point of view, the legendary Martial House Master Gu of the Savage Martial House should be a sage-like senior.

"Us?" The playboy smiled evilly, "Didn't I transmit my voice to you just now? I'm Gu Hanmo of the Savage Martial House! "

Xu Ming's eyes widened: "You're Gu Han … Martial House Master Gu!?"

"What, you don't believe me?" The playboy Gu Hanmo casually found a place to sit down, as if it was his own house.

Kieran, on the other hand, was standing aside obediently.

"I can't believe it …" Xu Ming said frankly. "But, your voice is indeed the voice that you used to transmit your voice to me. You're a Xiantian Master, so you wouldn't tease me! So … I have no choice but to believe it. "

"Haha, that means you believe me!"

"Yes!" Xu Ming nodded, but he couldn't help but feel surprised — this Manor Head Gu was actually so young. Judging from his age, he didn't seem to be much older than himself.

How on earth did he cultivate?!

"I just don't understand why Manor Head Gu is looking for me."

Gu Hanmo didn't answer immediately. Instead, he closed his fan and stared at Xu Ming for a while, as if trying to see through him.

"Who is your master?" Gu Hanmo suddenly asked.

Master?

Xu Ming was stunned by the question. "I don't have a master!"

"Heh, your acting skills are not bad!" Gu Hanmo laughed. "Your expression is especially on point — at first, you were at a loss, then you were surprised and surprised, then you were at a loss again!"

"Manor Head Gu, I really don't have a master …" Xu Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry. His acting skills weren't good, he was just telling the truth.

"You might be able to fool others with your words, but you want to fool me? You're still lacking! " Although Gu Hanmo was the Manor Head of the Wilderness Martial House at such a young age, he didn't put on any airs. He chatted casually with Xu Ming as if they were friends. "Your spear skills, your movement skills, your realm … If you say that you don't have a master and that you're self-taught, then wouldn't all my years of hard work have been wasted?"

"I …"

Xu Ming didn't know how to defend himself. Could he tell Gu Hanmo that he was actually using a cheat? Of course, Xu Ming guessed that even if he said that, Manor Head Gu wouldn't believe him and would still insist that he had a master.

"Alright, don't hide it anymore. Who doesn't have a few masters these days?" Gu Hanmo continued, "I know that your master must be a hidden expert from some corner of the world. He taught you martial arts, but didn't allow you to mention his name, right?"

"Eh …" Xu Ming was speechless. This Manor Head Gu's imagination was really rich, and he also had a woman-like gossipy heart.

"If you don't say it, then I'll take it as a yes!" Gu Hanmo said self-righteously. "Actually, I completely understand your situation! Because I had a similar experience. An old man came out of nowhere and insisted on taking me in as a disciple. After that, he didn't let me mention him to others! Heh, if he didn't let me mention him, then I would. Look, he couldn't do anything to me! "

"…" Xu Ming felt that he couldn't continue the conversation.

"Forget it. You're still young, so it's normal that you don't dare to say it. I won't ask you anymore! In the future, when you grow up and have more courage, you'll naturally go around casually talking about it! "

"I'm still young?" Xu Ming's face was full of black lines, "I'm not that much younger than you, right?"

"Yes!" Gu Hanmo raised his eyebrows, "But who told you to have such a low cultivation? I, a dignified senior, say that you're young, and you're not convinced?"

"I … I'm convinced!" Xu Ming really didn't expect that the Manor Head of the Wasteland Martial House was a child who hadn't even grown his hair yet. The key point was that he was so funny.

"Since he wants to misunderstand that I have a hidden expert as my master, then I'll let him misunderstand!"

Xu Ming even wondered if he should find an opportunity to spread this rumor. This way, not only would it be equivalent to finding himself a backer, others wouldn't dare to make a move on him easily. At the same time, it would also give a perfect explanation for his abnormal spear arts, movement skills, and cultivation realm.

"It's good that you're convinced!" Gu Hanmo's face was full of pride, "Back to the topic — — guess why I came to find you this time!"

"What other reason could there be? You want me to join the Wasteland Martial House and follow you!" In front of such a funny Manor Head, Xu Ming didn't need to pretend to be serious. He might as well just say whatever he wanted to say.

"En, not bad, you're aware!" Gu Hanmo looked at Xu Ming with even more satisfaction. Obviously, Xu Ming's character was to his liking, "Then it's settled! Five days later, you can directly report to the Wasteland Martial House! "

After speaking, Gu Hanmo stood up and left.

"Eh? You're leaving already? You're not going to stay a little longer? "Xu Ming really felt that he couldn't keep up with Gu Hanmo's pace.

"I've asked what I wanted to ask and said what I wanted to say. Why should I continue to stay? Don't tell me that I'm giving you a chance to flatter this Manor Head? Hahaha, I'm leaving! "

Gu Hanmo strode away, fanning himself with his folding fan, leaving only his back view for the dumbfounded Xu Ming.

"This Manor Head Gu, isn't his words too damn direct? However, it's more interesting to make friends with people like this. There's no need to beat around the bush! " Xu Ming stood at the door and watched Gu Hanmo leave, "Manor Head Gu … just you wait. Very soon, my cultivation will catch up to yours!"

With the cheat in hand, the world was mine! Xu Ming had complete confidence in this.

"Oh right!"

Suddenly, Xu Ming's eyes narrowed as he watched Gu Hanmo's departing back view. The corner of his mouth flashed an evil smile, "This Manor Head Gu is so mysterious. He must have an extraordinary background. Just nice, I can test out the last of the three basic functions of the cheat on him — —"

"Examine!"

Xu Ming threw out a [Examine]. Immediately, a series of information regarding Gu Hanmo was fed back into his mind.

Chapter 14

"Gu Hanmo, fifteen years old, early stage Xiantian, stage 'Minute Subtlety', specialises in swordsmanship, ultimate move …"

This information was an analysis of Gu Hanmo's strength. Basically, it explained Gu Hanmo's ultimate move, weaknesses and other aspects.

"What, only fifteen years old?" Xu Ming originally felt that Gu Hanmo shouldn't be much older than him, but he never thought that he would be the same age as him. "Early stage Xiantian at fifteen years old, what kind of monstrous talent is this …"

But immediately after, a piece of information that made Xu Ming even more flabbergasted came crashing down:

"… Original name 'Gu Momo', only daughter of the Sect Leader of the Savage Sect. Currently disguised as the Sect Leader of the Savage Martial House in Feiyun Country. His goal is to find geniuses and bring them back to the Savage Sect to nurture …"

"Damn … Gu Hanmo? Gu Momo? Only daughter? " Xu Ming always thought that he was just talking nonsense with a man. He never thought that he would accidentally flirt with a girl.

"… Upright, not too scheming, and does not have any ill intentions towards the host. After appraisal, he is a friend worthy of a deeper relationship. This investigation is complete. "

Xu Ming was stunned by the fact that Sect Leader Gu was a girl and couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"Xiao Gua's investigation ability is really sharp! With a single investigation, I've found out almost everything about the mysterious Manor Lord Gu … "

The human heart was the most difficult thing to predict. If he made friends with someone with bad intentions, he would still help them count the money when he was betrayed!

With the function of "Detect," Xu Ming no longer had to worry about making friends carelessly!

"It seems that Gu Hanmo thinks that my talent is not bad and has plans to bring me to the Savage Sect." Xu Ming didn't know about the Savage Sect, but he guessed that it should be a large power that wasn't any weaker than the Feiyun Country. "I've long heard that outside the Feiyun Country, there is an incomparably vast world. It seems that the Savage Sect belongs to that place."

Xu Ming had some expectations for the Savage Sect.

… …

Rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and roads should be taken one step at a time.

Although he was full of anticipation for the outside world, the only thing Xu Ming could do now was to cultivate!

Xu Ming didn't have to worry about the improvement of his cultivation base with the help of the "offline hack". However, the improvement of his realm required Xu Ming to do it himself.

Realm was originally a very ethereal thing. There seemed to be no other way to increase one's realm. One could only rely on 'comprehension'. To put it simply, if you've comprehended something, you've comprehended it. If you haven't, you haven't.

Yes, that's how it is. Have you realized it?

In any case, Xu Ming was still in a daze, completely confused.

Fortunately, the state of Perfect Battle would last for a long time. Xu Ming was now comprehending the realm from the perspective of Perfect Battle. Naturally, he was able to achieve twice the result with half the effort. After half a day, he had gained a lot.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

There was a knock on the door.

"That's strange. Who would be looking for me in the middle of the night?" Xu Ming was a little puzzled. He only knew a few people in the capital. "Is it Xu Kai? Or Chi Xue? "

However, Xu Ming felt that it shouldn't be either of them. Xu Kai was out on a mission and wouldn't be back so early. As for Chi Xue, that was even more impossible.

As for his enemies, it shouldn't be either. Because Xu Ming's enemies didn't know how to knock on the door. They would just kick the door open and enter.

"Who is it?"

Xu Ming asked in puzzlement as he got up to open the door.

When the door opened, what entered his eyes were two "famous faces".

"You are …?" Xu Ming had seen these two people during the recruitment test during the day. He had also heard a lot of people talking about them. "Third Prince? Elder Du? "

Xu Ming asked in disbelief.

He really couldn't imagine why these two people, with their esteemed status, would knock on his door in the middle of the night.

"It can't be that someone purposely dressed up as them to play with me, right?" Xu Ming thought in a daze. "But, playing with me won't yield any benefits …"

Moreover, appearances could be disguised, but the Third Prince's elegance and nobility, as well as Elder Du's calmness — this kind of temperament couldn't be disguised.

Fortunately, during the day, Xu Ming had already flirted with House Master Gu of the Wasteland Martial House. Seeing Wen Shuai and Elder Du now, although he was shocked, he didn't lose his composure too much.

"Third Prince, Elder Du, please come in and talk!" Xu Ming didn't ask any more questions and only gestured for them to enter.

After entering the room, they sat down as the host and guest. They brewed tea and chatted for a while to get to know each other. Wen Shuai and Elder Du were both very easy-going, treating Xu Ming as equals.

"Why are the two of you here?" Xu Ming asked directly.

No matter if it was Wen Shuai, Elder Du, or Elder Du, they were all people at the top of the Flying Cloud Country. On the other hand, Xu Ming was only a martial artist at the bottom. Xu Ming obviously didn't think that they were here to drink tea and chat with him.

Elder Du sipped his tea and looked at Xu Ming: "May I ask, who is your master?"

Who is your master?

Xu Ming was speechless — Why did everyone think that he had a master behind him? Moreover, they all asked about it the moment they came up.

"Every expert with good eyesight thinks that I have a master behind me. It seems that I must hurry up and make up a story of 'My Master and Me'!"

Although he had planned to fabricate a master as his backer, Xu Ming also knew that he couldn't bring out this kind of master too early. He still had to maintain a sense of mystery to fool people.

Therefore, Xu Ming showed a "complicated" expression that was first confused, then surprised, and then confused. "Master? I don't have a master! "

The truth was often not believed by others. After Elder Du heard this, he laughed loudly: "Still pretending! I know that it must be inconvenient for you to reveal information about your master, right? "

"I really don't have one!" Xu Ming insisted.

"Alright then, I'll take it that you really don't have one!" Although Old Man Du said so, it was obvious that he was just brushing her off. "Actually, when I was young, I also had a master who lived in seclusion. Just like you, he also forbade me from mentioning him!"

What the hell!

Xu Ming was even more speechless — Why did it feel like everyone had a mysterious master behind them?

Elder Du smiled mysteriously and continued: "Your master doesn't mind you accepting a gift, right?"

Xu Ming was stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Haha …" Elder Du laughed.

At this time, Third Prince Wen Shuai stretched out his hand in front of Xu Ming: "Brother Xu, this is a small token!"

In Wen Shuai's palm was a ring.

"Ring?" Xu Ming's imagination ran wild and his hair stood on end as he thought, "What's going on? This Wen Shuai, is he proposing to me? "

No!

A proposal shouldn't be "Marry me", it shouldn't be "a small token"! Moreover, Wen Shuai was the Third Prince of Feiyun Country, what kind of man couldn't he find?

Xu Ming spat twice in his heart: "Damn! This ring is not ordinary! "

"This is … a storage ring?" Xu Ming asked carefully.

The preciousness of a storage ring was beyond doubt. Normally, only Xiantian masters would have one. Very few internal martial artists would have one! A storage ring's value could not even be measured by money.

However, when Xu Ming saw the ring in Wen Shuai's palm, he thought of a storage ring.

"That's right!" Wen Shuai said affirmatively.

"It really is a storage ring!"

From his previous life to this life, Xu Ming had always dreamed that one day he would have a storage ring. And now, there was one right in front of him, at his fingertips.

However, Xu Ming did not dare to take it, because he still did not know what it meant to take this storage ring.

Chapter 15

Wen Shuai was slightly taken aback. "Brother Xu must be joking!"

"It's just a mere storage ring, it's not worth much!" Wen Shuai said, "Furthermore, if I'm not wrong, before Brother Xu left, your belongings must have been confiscated by your master, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't be without a storage ring! "

"Uh …" Xu Ming was speechless.

This Third Prince's imagination was too rich. Not only did he insist that he must have a hidden master behind him, he even "calculated" that his storage ring had been confiscated by his master.

However, logically speaking, Wen Shuai's series of thoughts had no flaws.

If he didn't have the guidance of an expert, how could Xu Ming reach such a stage at such a young age?

Since he had the guidance of an expert, why would he be so poor that he didn't even have a storage ring? The only explanation was that his storage ring was confiscated before he came out for training.

As for why the storage ring was confiscated, it was needless to say. It must be because there were too many good things in the storage ring. If it wasn't confiscated, the meaning of the training would be greatly reduced!

"I know that Brother Xu definitely doesn't care about a mere storage ring, but when you're outside, it's inconvenient to not have a storage ring!"

Although Xu Ming said that he didn't want it, he actually wanted to take the storage ring long ago. Now that Wen Shuai insisted on giving it to him, he could only "reluctantly" accept it.

"How can I accept it?"

Xu Ming said that he was embarrassed, but his hands were not idle. He had already taken the storage ring, and with a cut on his finger, he squeezed out a drop of blood and directly refined it.

"As expected!" Wen Shuai and Elder Du looked at each other.

When they saw Xu Ming's practiced movements when refining the storage ring, they were even more certain that Xu Ming had definitely used storage rings before. Behind Xu Ming, there was definitely an expert!

"Third Prince, you must make friends with this Xu Ming. Who knows, when you fight for the throne in the future, he might be of great help to you!" Elder Du transmitted his voice.

However, Wen Shuai and Old Man Du would never have thought that Xu Ming had never seen a storage ring before. The reason why he was able to refine it so easily was because … he had read too many fantasy novels!

Of course, even if Xu Ming was clumsy when refining the Storage Ring, and even asked how to refine it, Wen Shuai and Elder Du would definitely think that Xu Ming was deliberately pretending because of their preconceived notions.

"Brother Xu!" Wen Shuai continued, "There are a few Sound Transmission Talismans in the Storage Ring, and I've already left a mark on them. In the capital, no matter what happens, you can directly send me a Sound Transmission Talisman. As for the gold, I didn't dare to put too much. I only put some small change. If I put too much, I was afraid that it would affect your training. It would be unnecessary! "

"Thank you!" Xu Ming didn't know what to say for a while. He only felt that he had met the God of Fortune today.

Of course, Xu Ming also knew that the reason why he was able to receive such treatment was not because of anything else, but because of the strength and talent he had displayed!

Wen Shuai, as the Third Prince of Feiyun Country, personally came to visit him and even gave him a generous gift. In fact, it all boiled down to one word — profit!

Wen Shuai had a scheme for him!

On this point, Xu Ming didn't mind at all! Because … he also had a scheme for Wen Shuai!

Although Xu Ming had a cheat in his hands, his personal strength was still too weak. His enemies wouldn't give him so much time to grow. Therefore, Xu Ming needed a friend like Wen Shuai — not only could he provide him with martial strength to rely on, he could also 'sponsor' him to level up.

Moreover, even if they didn't talk about benefits, since Wen Shuai treated him with respect, Xu Ming naturally wouldn't put on airs. Furthermore, he didn't have the right to put on airs.

Following that, Wen Shuai chatted for a while more before he got up and left. During this time, there wasn't a single mention of the fight for the throne. It was purely a conversation between friends.

After sending Wen Shuai off, Xu Ming then started to study the Storage Ring. However, the moment he opened the Storage Ring, he was completely stunned. "Damn! Ten thousand taels of gold! This is still considered small change? "

"But compared to the Storage Ring, ten thousand taels of gold is really just small change …"

The value of the Storage Ring was difficult to measure with money.

"Ten thousand taels of gold can be exchanged for one thousand Hack Points. It's enough for me to hack for a long time during the internal training phase!"

For a short period of time, Xu Ming didn't have to worry about Hack Points to level up.

"Oh right, little cheat!" Xu Ming suddenly shouted in his mind, "If this Storage Ring is exchanged for Hack Points, how much can it be exchanged for?"

"It can be exchanged for two Level 2 Hack Points."

Level 2 Hack Points?

Xu Ming finally heard the news about Level 2 Hack Points.

"But, the Storage Ring can only be exchanged for two Level 2 Hack Points? Isn't this Level 2 Hack Points too f * cking valuable? "

…

After Wen Shuai left, he directly returned to the mansion.

"Elder Du, please have some tea."

Although Wen Shuai and Elder Du weren't master and disciple in name, they were master and disciple in reality. When facing Elder Du, Wen Shuai would still act like a disciple.

However, Elder Du always insisted on calling Wen Shuai "Third Prince".

Soon, two black-clothed experts hurriedly ran in.

"Your Highness, we've already investigated everything you've asked us to do. Xu Ming, fifteen years old, from Yi City … "

Wen Shuai's intelligence network was still very powerful. In just one afternoon, he had investigated Xu Ming's eight generations of ancestors, the reason why Xu Ming came to the capital, and so on. Even the number of times Xu Ming had been beaten by Lin Han, and how long each time, was clearly known.

"Alright, I got it. You may leave!"

Wen Shuai waved his hand, and the two black-clothed men immediately disappeared.

"There's actually no news about his master." Wen Shuai couldn't help but frown, "Moreover, the news said that Xu Ming had always been an external practitioner of the first job transition. It was only recently that he broke through … Isn't he hiding it too deeply? Why did he have to hide it so deeply! "

Elder Du squinted his eyes and blew on the tea leaves, "Third Prince, I think you still underestimated him."

"Oh?"

"Even when we were in close contact just now, I still couldn't see through his true cultivation!"

"What?" Wen Shuai was shocked. He knew how terrifying Elder Du's strength was. Even in the entire Feiyun Country, it would be difficult to find someone more powerful than Elder Du.

But even Elder Du couldn't see through Xu Ming's true cultivation?

"I guess that the reason why he hid it so deeply should be related to his master!" Elder Du analyzed, "He uses a spear, so his master should also be proficient in using a spear. There are only a few innate masters in Feiyun Country who are proficient in spear techniques. I counted them all, but it's impossible. Therefore, his master should be an outsider from Feiyun Country, and most likely came to hide from his enemies. Because he wanted to hide from his enemies, he kept a low profile and even asked his disciples to keep a low profile. "

Elder Du's analysis was reasonable, and Wen Shuai nodded repeatedly.

Elder Du continued, "Now, Xu Ming should have some success in his studies, but he lacks actual combat experience. That's why his master let him out to gain experience! And the mission is most likely to be to get rid of Lin Muqing! "

Get rid of Lin Muqing?

Wen Shuai said in shock, "Lin Muqing is a direct descendant of the Lin Family, and his talent is very outstanding. Even if it was me, it would be very difficult to get rid of him!"

"So … he needs to keep a low profile!" Elder Du said, "I'm afraid that this is the only way to complete this mission! — — Since his goal is Lin Muqing, then he is undoubtedly standing on the opposite side of the First Prince. Even if we don't deliberately rope him in, he will still be of help to us. "

"Elder Du is sharp!" Wen Shuai sighed from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't find any flaws in Elder Du's analysis. This meant that Elder Du's analysis should be very close to the truth, or even the truth
