Chapter 16
Five days passed in the blink of an eye. Xu Ming arrived at the Savage Martial House as promised.
Compared to the majestic entrance of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, the entrance of the Savage Martial House was very shabby. However, Xu Ming knew that in this era, this shabbiness was called "background".
"I heard that the Savage Martial House's background is even higher than the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's. I wonder if that's true!"
With this doubt, Xu Ming walked into the Savage Martial House.
The Savage Martial House was not as lively as the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. There were only a few hundred people in the entire Martial House. Xu Ming walked in the Martial House and could not even see a few people. It was only when he walked through a long bluestone road and arrived at the Savage Martial House's plaza that he saw more than a hundred people gathered there.
"These must be the new disciples of the Savage Martial House this year!"
Every year, the Savage Martial House would only recruit a hundred people. Although the number was only one-tenth of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's, all of them were elites. There were even some arrogant young people who gave up on the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's recruitment and came to the Savage Martial House.
Xu Ming found the registration area and started to report. His actions immediately attracted a lot of attention.
"Eh? Why is there another newcomer? "
"Yeah, why is there another one? I didn't see this person during the recruitment test a few days ago! "
"Could it be that he got in through connections?"
"How is that possible? The Savage Martial House is not a messy place like the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. Our elusive Martial House Master is very strict with us! Until now, I have never heard of anyone who got in through connections! "
"That's true!"
The group of new disciples looked at Xu Ming and discussed animatedly.
"Eh? That person looks a little familiar! " Suddenly, someone shouted, "Isn't that the person who took the forbidden medicine during the recruitment test?"
"The one who took the forbidden medicine? Yes, that's him! I saw him fight before. His spear technique is pretty good! "
"His marksmanship isn't bad?" Someone immediately retorted. "If his marksmanship is really good, why would he need to take forbidden drugs?"
It had to be said that Lin Muqing's slander had been very successful. At least most of the people present that day believed that Xu Ming had taken a forbidden drug — after all, the strength that Xu Ming had displayed at that time had already surpassed their understanding. If he didn't take a forbidden drug, how could a fourth rank external cultivator be so strong?
"Using forbidden drugs?" There were a few people around who hadn't heard of this matter. Now that they heard it, their faces were filled with disdain. "Why would a trash who took a forbidden medicine appear in our Savage Martial House? Furthermore, he's actually reporting there! "
Xu Ming, who was reporting, felt a chill run down his spine. When he turned around, he saw countless disdainful gazes directed at him from afar.
"What's the situation?" Xu Ming was a little confused, "I'm new here, I haven't offended anyone, and I haven't done anything bad!"
However, what was with this large group of people's disdain for no reason?
"Put the pen down! Who told you to report to the Savage Martial House? " Just as Xu Ming was in a daze, a thunderous shout rang out. Soon after, a two-meter-tall youth with a stocky build walked over aggressively, carrying a large iron hammer that was as long as two people.
Bang!
The tall youth suddenly stopped in front of Xu Ming. He looked down at Xu Ming and shouted, "Scram! Trash who took forbidden drugs, scram out of the Savage Martial House! "
"What's going on?" Xu Ming was still confused.
However, when he heard the words "taking forbidden drugs", he immediately guessed what was going on, "Damn, Lin Muqing really smeared my name! Now, even a group of people I don't know can recognize that I took forbidden drugs! — F * ck, taking forbidden drugs? I don't even know what forbidden drugs are, why would I take them! "
Xu Ming couldn't help but admit that Lin Muqing really made a good move. At the very least, he successfully ruined his reputation. If he hadn't met an expert like Gu Hanmo, who had good eyesight, he might have really been tricked into not being able to enter the Martial House.
"Sun Ji, what are you doing!" The Martial House master in charge of reporting shouted, "He is someone the Martial House Master personally instructed!"
"Martial House Master personally instructed?" The tall youth Sun Ji's face revealed a look of realization, "No wonder … No wonder you could use your connections to come to our Savage Martial House. So it was the Martial House Master who personally instructed you! — But great master, I refuse to accept this! Can the Martial House Master personally instruct you to break the rules of our Savage Martial House? Especially someone like this who took forbidden drugs. Letting him in is simply a disgrace to our Savage Martial House! "
"What are you shouting about?" Although the Martial House master looked down on Xu Ming in his heart, believing that Xu Ming was someone who took forbidden drugs, he didn't dare to neglect someone who was personally instructed by the Martial House Master. Therefore, he hurriedly reprimanded Sun Ji.
"I've finished reporting. Can I leave now?" Xu Ming was too lazy to waste time with a simple-minded "beastman" like Sun Ji.
"Yes, yes." The Martial House master made a "do as you wish" gesture.
"Leave!?" Sun Ji blocked in front of Xu Ming, "Where are you going? Who allowed you to leave? "
"None of your business!" Xu Ming didn't even bother to lift his eyes. He really didn't want to talk to this brainless idiot.
"None of my business?"
Sun Ji's eyes flashed with a trace of doubt — That's right, whether or not he took forbidden drugs, none of my business!
However, this trace of doubt only flashed for a moment, "You trash who took forbidden drugs, being in the same Martial House as you is simply a disgrace to me! You, hurry up and get lost! "
At this time, many new disciples had already surrounded them. In their hearts, they were certain that Xu Ming had taken forbidden drugs, so they looked down on Xu Ming and wanted to see him make a fool of himself.
"Idiot!" Xu Ming glanced at this blockhead, "Which eye of yours saw me taking forbidden drugs?"
"In any case, I just heard about it! Everyone in the capital knows that you took forbidden drugs! "Sun Ji angrily shouted." En? Wait, what did you just call me? "
"Idiot!"
"You … you called me an idiot? You actually dared to call me an idiot? You … you're courting death!!! "Sun Ji was so angry that his eyes turned red.
The surrounding onlookers were also stunned.
"Damn, this brat actually dared to call Sun Ji names?"
"Although Sun Ji's temperament is irritable, his strength is very strong. He is fully deserving of the title of number one in our batch!"
"Yes! Don't look at Sun Ji's cultivation level as a Fifth Transformation External Cultivator. He was born with divine strength! The masters in the Martial House said that his strength is comparable to an Inner Cultivator! Even us Sixth Transformation External Cultivators are not his match! "
"This brat is finished! When Sun Ji is angry, he is like a bull. Even the masters have a hard time holding him back! "
"Look, Sun Ji is about to get angry!"
Xu Ming silently observed.
He realized that Sun Ji's brain was really slow. Even when he was angry, he needed to "store energy" for half a day.
"I originally wanted to stay in the Savage Martial House for a period of time, but now it seems that I can't stay low-key!" Xu Ming looked at the blockhead Sun Ji with pity, "Since that's the case, I'll waste some time and use you to establish my might!"
Xu Ming did not want to be constantly bothered by people in the future, so the best way was undoubtedly — — to make a name for himself!
This Sun Ji was the number one in the Savage Martial House's batch of newcomers. His strength was even stronger than an External Cultivator's Sixth Transformation External Cultivator. Moreover, he had delivered himself to Xu Ming's door and became his target.
"What? Are you angry that I called you an idiot? "Xu Ming continued to provoke," It's nothing. If you're not convinced, I'll be waiting for you here! "
"You want to challenge me?" Sun Ji's eyes were red with anger.
"No, to be precise, I want to torture you!" Xu Ming laughed arrogantly.
The surrounding disciples were dumbfounded.
"Isn't this brat too arrogant?"
"What's the use of being arrogant? Without strength, he's dead!"
"He probably thinks that as long as he eats the forbidden medicine, he will be invincible! But how could he know Sun Ji's strength? Even if he eats the forbidden medicine, he will still be trampled by Sun Ji! "
Even the Martial House masters who were originally prepared to mediate were dissatisfied with Xu Ming's insolence, "He eats the forbidden medicine, yet he dares to be so arrogant? I really don't understand why the Martial House Master would let such trash enter our Martial House! Humph, it's good to let him suffer a little, so that he won't shamelessly show off in the Martial House all day! "
Seeing that there was a battle to be fought, Sun Ji calmed down and even learned the idiom, "Humph, shameless boasting! Since you want to fight, I'll make you accept your defeat wholeheartedly. Hurry up and eat the forbidden medicine, or else you'll say that I bullied you! "
The surrounding disciples also started to jeer.
"Haha, brat, hurry up and eat the forbidden medicine!"
"That's right, let us open our eyes and see how powerful that forbidden medicine of yours is!"
"Idiot!" Xu Ming mocked again, "Today, I'll let you understand a principle — — you can't believe everything a person says!"
"Show me the two big hammers behind you!" Xu Ming stretched out his hand, indicating for Sun Ji to come at him. He was also prepared to activate the "Perfect Battle" hack at any time.
Although Xu Ming appeared arrogant, he was actually very cautious. After all, Sun Ji's two big hammers were quite intimidating. The two big iron blocks at the top were at least half a meter in diameter. If they were careless and brushed by these things, it wouldn't be a joke.
"You're empty-handed, and you want me to show you my weapon?" Sun Ji laughed involuntarily, even his anger had dissipated by ten percent, "Come at me trash, I'll stand right here and let you make three moves!"
Chapter 17
Just one punch is enough to make me realize the truth?
"Ha, haha …" Sun Ji could not help but laugh again. "I've seen arrogant people, but I've never seen someone as arrogant as you!"
The crowd also mocked him.
"He's really too shameless!"
"He definitely doesn't know how strong Sun Ji's defense is, that's why he dares to spout nonsense!"
"Yeah … Sun Ji's abnormal physical body can even withstand a few attacks from a Sixth Transformation External Practitioner, let alone him?"
"Just watch, he dares to provoke Sun Ji, he'll suffer!"
…
Xu Ming grinned. "Whether I'm arrogant or not, you'll know soon enough!"
After saying that, Xu Ming directly activated the "Perfect Battle" hack.
Activating a "Perfect Battle" once was equivalent to ten days of AFK using up hack points. If not for the fact that Xu Ming had just made a small fortune and was a little rich, he would not have dared to squander his hack points on such a battle of personal feelings.
"Hah!"
Xu Ming clenched his fist and felt all the strength in his body gather in the center of his fist.
"This feeling of having everything under my control is really wonderful!"
The Minute Subtlety was a very profound realm of martial arts. If one could comprehend it, they would be able to control every bit of strength in their body in minute detail; at the same time, they would be able to make incomparably sharp and accurate judgments of the outside world!
The Minute Subtlety was a realm that countless martial arts experts were bitterly searching for! Even among Innate Stage experts, it was already considered good if one in ten could comprehend the Minute Subtlety realm.
To Xu Ming, the Minute Subtlety realm was undoubtedly too far away. Even if he was in the "Perfect Battle" state and had the illusion that everything was under his control, in reality, he was still one step away from the Minute Subtlety realm. He had not truly reached the Minute Subtlety realm.
Even so, when the three experts, Gu Hanmo, Kieran, and Elder Du, saw Xu Ming's attack, they were still shocked to the point of being dizzy. This was because even the legendary figure of Feiyun Country, Elder Du, had not stepped into the Minute Subtlety realm. He was still one step away from the Minute Subtlety realm.
In other words, after Xu Ming activated the "Perfect Battle" hack, his realm was equal to Elder Du's!
Dealing with Sun Ji at such a level was simply bullying him! One had to know that when one's realm was high enough, one portion of strength would be able to display the effect of ten percent of strength!
Furthermore …
Five days had passed and Xu Ming's cultivation was now — External Refinement Fifth Transformation!
Whoosh!
Xu Ming's fist was like a spinning diamond. The power of this punch was very similar to internal training, but in reality, it had already far surpassed the Fifth Turn of external training, and even faintly exceeded the scope of external training.
"Ha!" The ignorant Sun Ji chuckled when he saw Xu Ming's "weak" fist. "Such a weak attack. Even if I stand here and let you hit me, what can I do? Scum is indeed scum! "
However, when Xu Ming's fist arrived, Sun Ji's expression suddenly distorted!
In his expression, there was uncontrollable pain, but more than that, his eyes were wide open in disbelief!
Bang!
The power of this punch was extremely restrained. It didn't send Sun Ji flying, but it made him curl up on the ground like a shrimp. He wailed in pain and couldn't stand up for a long time.
"Ah — Wu —"
The onlookers stared blankly at the wailing Sun Ji, and then listened to Sun Ji's breathless scream. They looked at each other, not knowing what was going on — because in their view, Xu Ming's punch just now was not strong!
"Hey, hey, Sun Ji, what's wrong with you? Are you acting? "
Sun Ji was in so much pain that he couldn't speak for a while, "Acting … acting my * ss!"
"Uh …"
The new disciples looked at each other and couldn't figure it out for a long time.
After a while, Sun Ji stood up again and stared at Xu Ming with burning eyes. He couldn't hold back his excitement, "You've also reached External Refinement Fifth Transformation these few days, right?"
Xu Ming nodded slightly.
"Amazing!" Sun Ji said excitedly, "Simply amazing! I'm also at External Refinement Fifth Transformation — Xu Ming, you're the most powerful opponent of the same level I've ever seen! I, Sun Ji, formally challenge you! "
At this time, some of the new disciples came back to their senses, "Hey, Sun Ji, you're saying that this person who took the forbidden medicine is very powerful?"
"Took the forbidden medicine?" Sun Ji said disdainfully, "I'm really an idiot, to actually believe such a rumor! Based on Brother Xu Ming's punch just now, it would be easy for him to enter Feiyun Martial Pavilion. But Brother Xu Ming didn't pass the recruitment test, and was even accused of taking the forbidden medicine — needless to say, someone must be deliberately spreading rumors to hurt my Brother Xu Ming! "
Although Sun Ji was stupid, once he met someone who convinced him, he would immediately wholeheartedly call him Brother. Look, in the blink of an eye, he was calling him "Brother Xu Ming".
"Is that punch very powerful?" The surrounding people, including the Martial House's masters, couldn't see how powerful that punch was.
"I don't think my punch is that powerful!" Sun Ji glanced around, "How about, if any of you don't agree, try it?"
More powerful than your punch?
The new disciples immediately shrunk their heads — Sun Ji's punch was very powerful, many of them had seen or even tried it.
"You want to challenge me?" Since he was being high-profile, Xu Ming planned to continue being high-profile, "You're not my opponent."
"Not your opponent?" Sun Ji heard this, but not only was he not angry, he was actually very excited, "If you don't try, how will you know? Take my punch first! "
Saying this, Sun Ji's huge body pounced towards Xu Ming like a mountain.
Boom!
Sun Ji's iron fist was extremely fierce, the surrounding people could feel the power of this punch from afar!
"Such powerful innate divine strength!"
Xu Ming was currently in "Perfect Battle", his vision was extremely sharp, and he was the target of Sun Ji's punch. Naturally, he could feel the power of this punch more deeply than anyone else.
"I can't meet force with force!"
Even if Xu Ming's strength was stronger than an ordinary Rank Five external practitioner, he had no choice but to cower. Xu Ming's punch was strong because his attack contained the profoundness of the realm; if he met force with force, even if he was in "Perfect Battle", he would not be Sun Ji's opponent.
In an instant, Xu Ming's palms formed into a Tai Chi circle, and easily dispersed Sun Ji's power.
Naturally, Xu Ming didn't know any palm techniques. However, it was fine if Xu Ming didn't know any of them. After activating 'Perfect Battle', there wasn't a single one of the eighteen martial arts that he didn't know!
"Interesting!" Sun Ji saw that his punch missed, but instead became even more excited.
This was the first time he met a martial artist of the same level who could steadily receive his punch. One must know that even if he fought with a Rank Six external practitioner, he would still be able to crush them.
In his excited state, Sun Ji's iron fist smashed down one punch after another.
As for Xu Ming, he methodically neutralized palm after palm. Of course, when receiving the attacks, Xu Ming's feet also had no choice but to retreat step by step.
"This … this …" Although the Savage Martial House's master and this batch of new disciples did not have good eyesight, they were not blind. They could all see that Sun Ji was already fighting with all his strength, but Xu Ming did not dodge, and just steadily received every punch.
Just as they were in shock, suddenly, before they could clearly see what Xu Ming did, Xu Ming's figure flashed, and then, Sun Ji was sent flying!
Bang!
Hundreds of gazes stared at Sun Ji who crashed to the ground. They all felt that they were dreaming.
"Sun Ji? Defeated? "
The Martial House's master secretly wiped the sweat on his forehead: "Is Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion stupid? Such a powerful young man, they actually expelled him and even smeared his name … Martial House Master's eyes are as bright as torches, I wonder when he brought back such a person with such potential! "
"Are you convinced?" Xu Ming stood proudly.
"Convinced! Convinced! "Sun Ji nodded his head like he was pounding garlic, he really was convinced.
"But …" Sun Ji said somewhat embarrassedly, "Can I use a weapon to fight with you for a while?"
Sun Ji had heard that Xu Ming's strongest point was his spear arts, and he still wanted to see it for himself.
"Show me your weapon! I also want to see your two big hammers! "Xu Ming gestured with his hand.
"Your weapon?"
"Me? I don't need a weapon! "
Too arrogant!
These four words flashed through everyone's mind.
But this time, no one dared to ridicule him, because they could see that Xu Ming was indeed stronger than Sun Ji. However, Xu Ming wanting to fight Sun Ji with his bare hands, everyone still felt that he was too arrogant.
But, who asked him to have the qualifications to be arrogant?
"Alright, then you be careful!"
Sun Ji swung the big hammers in each hand, as if he was waving two walls.
But then, everyone felt a flash in front of their eyes — Xu Ming was like a flash of lightning, passing through the middle of the two dancing walls.
Their eyes flashed again, and Xu Ming's claws had already grabbed Sun Ji's throat.
"What!?"
Although everyone thought that Xu Ming might win, no one thought that the outcome would be decided so easily.
"Too slow!" Xu Ming commented rather pretentiously, "No matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't touch someone."
Sun Ji was stunned for a while, suddenly —
Plop!
He actually knelt down directly, "Big brother, please take me as your disciple!"
"You?" Xu Ming shook his head, "I don't need such a stupid disciple."
Stupid?
They heard Xu Ming call Sun Ji "stupid" again, but this time, no one made a sound.
Wasn't it true? In front of Xu Ming, Sun Ji was completely a stupid bull with nothing but brute force.
"Big brother, big brother, don't abandon me!" Sun Ji's character was stupid and cute. Seeing that Xu Ming wasn't willing to take him as his disciple, he immediately panicked and hugged Xu Ming's leg, almost crying — such a powerful big brother, I must take him as my master! When the time comes, if I can learn a little bit from him, coupled with my brute force, I'll definitely be awesome!
"But I'm only a new disciple in the Martial House, not a master, how can I take you as my disciple?" Xu Ming pulled his leg out of Sun Ji's embrace, "How about this, a famous person like me is destined to have many cats and dogs coming to bother me in the future. You can be my little brother and help me deal with some trivial matters!"
"Little brother?" Sun Ji thought for a while, although they weren't master and disciple, it wasn't bad, "Little brother is good, little brother is good, I'll be your little brother!"
"Since you're my little brother, you'll definitely have work to do! Listen well, your task is, in the future, whoever wants to bother me will have to go through you first! "
"Yes, yes!" Sun Ji was like an obedient big baby.
Chapter 18
In this world, strength spoke louder than words.
After Xu Ming easily defeated Sun Ji, his reputation quickly spread. He became the publicly acknowledged number one disciple of the Savage Martial House this year. Even many of the older disciples from the previous years were wary of him.
As for the rumor that Xu Ming used forbidden drugs, it was naturally dispelled. What a joke. Would the number one disciple in the Savage Martial House use such a despicable method of using forbidden drugs in the recruitment process of the Flying Cloud Martial House? To put it bluntly, it was still unknown whether or not he would take a liking to the Flying Cloud Martial House!
The true top geniuses were more willing to go to the Savage Martial House because the Savage Martial House had a deeper foundation!
As for Xu Ming's story, it gradually spread from the Barbarian Martial House to the entire capital.
"Little Ming, didn't you tell me a few days ago that you had just broken through to the Third Transformation External Practitioner?" After Xu Kai returned from his mission, he immediately heard about Xu Ming's achievements. At first, he didn't believe that it was his clan brother, Xu Ming, until the two brothers met.
"Uh … Well, I was lucky enough to break through a few times these few days …" Xu Ming said honestly.
"You broke through by luck? And you broke through a few times in a row? " Xu Kai was speechless, "Damn, why didn't I see it before? You are actually such a monster!"
"Monster …" Xu Ming was speechless and could only silently drink his wine.
"But compared to your godly spear arts and movement skills, although your cultivation speed is abnormal, it is not that hard to accept!" Xu Kai said again.
"Godly?" Xu Ming didn't expect that the outside world would have such an evaluation of him.
But it was normal when he thought about it. In terms of realm, after Xu Ming activated the "Perfect Battle" hack, the number of people in the Flying Cloud Nation who could surpass him could be counted on one hand. Even the legendary Du Yu De could only be on par with him in terms of realm.
"Little Ming, I must immediately tell the family about your matter!" Xu Kai said, "Our Xu Family really brings honor to our ancestors for having such a genius like you! When you become stronger in the future, our Xu Family will definitely become a prestigious family! Therefore, Little Ming, don't slack off on your cultivation just because you have some achievements. The heavy responsibility of revitalizing the Xu Family will fall on your shoulders! "
Revitalizing the Xu family was the hope of the Xu family for generations to come! In the past, Xu Ming naturally had this kind of hope in his bones. However, Xu Ming's talent was too poor. It would be good if he didn't drag the Xu Family down. He simply didn't have the qualifications to revitalize the Xu Family.
…
Not long after, even Chi Xue, who never left her house, heard about Xu Ming.
"Fifth Revolution?"
"His strength is even stronger than an external cultivator of the sixth rank, and he is the number one disciple of Savage Martial House this year?"
"His spear arts and movement techniques are godly?"
"Is this really Big Brother Xu Ming?"
Chi Xue suddenly felt that Xu Ming was very unfamiliar.
"But even so, so what? Brother Xu Ming's innate talent is still too poor to reach the Fifth Transformation at the age of fifteen. He and I will not be able to walk the same path! "
Chi Xue's goal was to break through internal training and become an innate master!
And to become an innate master, the younger one was, the more hope there was.
For example, Chi Xue was only fourteen years old, but she was already at the initial stage of internal training. With this kind of talent, there was a great hope for her to become an innate master in the future.
"I didn't expect that Big Brother Xu Ming had been hiding his strength all these years. Even I didn't know about it!" Chi Xue did not think that Xu Ming had just soared up like a rocket recently, from the first rank to the fifth rank.
Chi Xue couldn't describe what she was feeling. She only felt that her heart was empty. She always thought that Xu Ming would tell her everything. But now, she realized that she didn't seem to be that important in Xu Ming's heart.
Chi Xue might never know that the Xu Ming who told her everything was no longer alive. The current Xu Ming was indeed a complete stranger to her!
While Chi Xue's thoughts were flying, two disciples who had made a mistake were kneeling in the punishment area of Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion.
"Elder Cao, we know our mistake!"
"Elder Cao, we won't dare to be rude to the Martial Pavilion's masters anymore!"
"Oh? You know your mistake? "Elder Cao's face was dark. Or rather, his face was dark to begin with.
Iron Mask Cao Haishan, who didn't know or fear him in Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion?
Not to mention these two disciples, even some of the Martial Pavilion's masters, managers, and even some elders were afraid of Elder Cao Haishan. This was because Cao Haishan not only had the authority to enforce the Martial Pavilion's rules, but he was also impartial and didn't care about human feelings!
There were many disciples who were expelled by Cao Haishan. Even a few of the Martial Pavilion's masters and managers were kicked out of Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion by him.
"Since you know your mistake, then tell me, according to the Martial Pavilion's rules, how should I punish you for disrespecting your elders?"
"This … this …" The two disciples were speechless.
Strictly according to the Martial Pavilion's rules, the punishment for disrespecting elders was very severe! The lightest punishment was a deduction of half a year's worth of resources. The heaviest punishment was expulsion from the Martial Pavilion. The heaviest punishment was crippling one's cultivation!
Although these two disciples only made a small mistake, they couldn't help but feel terrified at this moment.
Suddenly, Cao Haishan's voice transmission token rang.
"Hmm? Could it be that someone wants to plead for them? "
Cao Haishan sternly glanced at the two disciples, then took out his voice transmission token and read it.
As he read, Cao Haishan's face gradually darkened. "There's actually such a thing!"
Pa!
Cao Haishan slammed the table and stood up. The two disciples were so scared that they almost peed their pants.
"This Wu Gaofeng can't do anything right!"
"Wu Gaofeng?" The two disciples let out a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't their fault, it was fine. "Elder Cao is furious. Looks like Wu Gaofeng is going to be miserable!"
"You two, get out of my sight!"
"Get out?" The two didn't know what was going on. Get out? Get out of my sight? Didn't you say you were going to punish us? Or are you going to expel us because of such a small matter?
Cao Haishan was currently in a fit of anger. He had more important things to deal with, so he didn't have time to waste on these two disciples. "Don't you understand? Get out of my sight. This matter ends here! If you do it again, you don't need to come here anymore. Just get out of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion! "
The two disciples felt as if they had been pardoned. So Elder Cao let them go!
Cao Haishan watched the two disciples run away in annoyance. Then, he took out his voice transmission token again.
"Wu Gaofeng, get out of my sight right now!"
At this moment, Wu Gaofeng was drinking wine outside. He was surrounded by four or five girls, looking very relaxed.
"Eh? That old bastard Cao Haishan's voice transmission? "Wu Gaofeng's whole body shook.
Half an hour later.
Wu Gaofeng stood in front of Elder Cao, trembling with fear.
"Show me the video of the Martial Pavilion's recruitment!"
"Recordings of the new recruits?" Wu Gaofeng's complexion changed. Of course, he had already heard about Xu Ming's extraordinary performance in the Wasteland Martial House. However, what could he do to salvage the situation? "Could it be that this matter has already reached Elder Cao's ears?"
Wu Gaofeng knew Cao Haishan's temper very well. In front of Elder Cao, if he obediently cooperated and admitted his mistakes, then it would be fine. However, if he stubbornly resisted, then the consequences would be severe!
Therefore, Wu Gaofeng did not dare to be negligent and even showed the recordings to Elder Cao.
"Although that Xu Ming's strength is not bad, the rumors outside that his spear techniques and movement techniques are miraculous are too ridiculous!" Wu Gaofeng pondered, "At most, I made a mistake and drove away a good disciple. If Cao Haishan really wants to punish me, then I'll just obediently accept the punishment!"
"Ha, haha …"
Cao Haishan looked at the recordings and laughed instead of being angry. His laughter made Wu Gaofeng's hair stand.
"Elder Cao, what's wrong? Is there a problem? "
"Is there a problem!?"
Peng!
The irascible Cao Haishan kicked Wu Gaofeng in the stomach, causing him to spit out blood.
"Wu Gaofeng, tell me!" Cao Haishan did not care how much blood Wu Gaofeng spat out, "This youth called 'Xu Ming', why wasn't he selected?"
So he was asking about this!
Wu Gaofeng secretly complained about Lin Muqing.
But at this time, he could not betray his teammates. Of course, the key was that if he betrayed Lin Muqing, not only would he have to bear Elder Cao's anger, but he would also have to bear Lin Muqing's and the Lin Family's anger.
"Him!" Wu Gaofeng said in a loud voice, "Someone reported that he used a forbidden drug, so I removed him."
"Someone reported him? Who reported him? "Cao Haishan asked.
Wu Gaofeng was speechless for a while.
Cao Haishan did not delve into this matter, "Moreover, you are in control of the examination array, so everything inside is under your observation. Can't you tell whether or not he used a forbidden drug? Are you blind or what? "
"Cao … … Elder Cao." Wu Gaofeng directly admitted his mistake, "This matter was due to my negligence, I'm willing to accept the punishment!"
"You're willing to accept the punishment?" Cao Haishan sneered, "I'm afraid you can't accept it, right?"
Can't accept it?
Wu Gaofeng was stunned, "Elder Cao, isn't he just a disciple with slightly good talent?"
"Slightly good talent?"
Cao Haishan crazily laughed, "Wu Gaofeng, do you know that our Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion has been established for so many years just to wait for a genius like this!"
What?
Wu Gaofeng was stunned hearing this.
"Now that we've waited for so long, you've pushed him out!"
"If this youth enters our Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, we'll definitely do everything we can to train him!"
Do everything they can to train him?
Wu Gaofeng was even more stunned — — what kind of song was this?
But he could tell — — this Xu Ming's talent was not simple! It was far more complicated than he had imagined!
Otherwise, why would Elder Cao say "do everything they can to train him"?
"If he enters our Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, even if the Savage Martial House comes, we'll definitely fight them to the death!"
Fight the Savage Martial House to the death?
Wu Gaofeng knew how strong the Savage Martial House's background was — — the Savage Sect was much stronger than the entire Flying Cloud Country!
Over the years, there had been many occasions when the Savage Martial House had asked for people from the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. And the people that the Savage Martial House wanted were undoubtedly the best of the elders' direct disciples!
Even if they were the best of the elders' direct disciples, as long as the Savage Martial House wanted them, the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion could only give in. But this time, Cao Haishan actually said that he would fight the Savage Martial House to the death. What did this mean? — — It meant that Xu Ming's talent far surpassed all the geniuses in the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion over the years!
"And now!"
"Such a genius was personally pushed to the Savage Martial House by you, Wu Gaofeng!"
"I … … I … …" The tragedy came too suddenly. Wu Gaofeng was completely caught off guard and didn't even know what to say.
"Don't say that I didn't give you a chance!" At this time, Cao Haishan's tone suddenly became unusually calm. However, Wu Gaofeng knew that this was a sign of Elder Cao's extreme anger. "I'll give you half a month's time. You have to bring Xu Ming back to me at all costs! If you can't bring him back … … you can come to my laboratory to be a test subject! "
Laboratory?
Test subject?
Wu Gaofeng's face turned green.
Once he became Elder Cao's test subject, it would really be … … a fate worse than death!
"Alright, scram! If you have any objections, you can go find the Pavilion Master! But I think that you don't need to go find him. The Pavilion Master will come find you very soon! "
Cao Haishan didn't guess wrongly. Not long after Wu Gaofeng left, he was pulled away by the Pavilion Master for a lecture.
Although the Pavilion Master's tone was calm, Wu Gaofeng could tell that if he couldn't settle this matter, then what awaited him would be a fate worse than death! He might really be thrown into Elder Cao's laboratory and turned into a human-shaped puppet.
Chapter 19
Ye Zhen, Wu Gao Feng's right-hand man.
His cultivation was only at the sixth rank, but he was highly regarded by Wu Gao Feng. This showed how capable he was.
After being reprimanded by Elder Cao and the Pavilion Master, Wu Gaofeng naturally understood the severity of his mistake. However, he couldn't bring himself to look for Xu Ming in such a short period of time, so he sent Ye Zhen to scout ahead first.
It would be best if he could persuade Xu Ming to come back, but if not, he would have to 'condescend' himself.
"A fifteen-year-old brat?" Ye Zhen heard the mission and said confidently, "Big brother, don't worry, I will definitely persuade him to come back to Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion!"
Ye Zhen's silver tongue had helped Wu Gaofeng negotiate many important matters. From his point of view, if he couldn't even handle a fifteen-year-old child, then he would have wasted all his years in the industry.
But soon, Ye Zhen returned to Wu Gao Feng with swollen eyes and a sullen face, "Big brother, I was beaten up by Xu Ming's lackey …"
"Who? Xu Ming's lackey? "
"I think his name is Sun Ji … That blockhead's cultivation is only at the fifth rank, but his strength is huge! And no matter what I said to him, he would not listen and beat me up! "Ye Zhen was really depressed like a scholar meeting a soldier.
"Sun Ji? I know him! "Wu Gao Feng's face turned cold," Little Ye, bear with this for now! Wait until we persuade Xu Ming to come back to Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, then I will help you vent your anger. "
An hour later, Wu Gao Feng and Ye Zhen found Xu Ming under Sun Ji's lead.
But before Wu Gao Feng could speak, the burly Sun Ji complained tearfully to Xu Ming, "Boss, someone bullied me!"
"What? Someone bullied you? "How could Xu Ming tolerate his lackey being bullied," Who is it? "
Sun Ji pointed at Wu Gao Feng, "It's him!"
"Wu Gao Feng!" Xu Ming shouted angrily, "You bullied my lackey, what is the meaning of this? Do you really think that just because you're in charge of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's Outer Pavilion, you can come to our Savage Martial House and behave atrociously? "
Wu Gaofeng was also speechless — I bullied him? I am an expert who has completed inner refinement, why would I bully an external refinement Fifth Transformation brat?
"Little Brother Xu Ming, there must be a misunderstanding." Since Wu Gaofeng had a favor to ask of Xu Ming, he had no choice but to lower his stance. "This little brother Sun Ji is … a very principled person! I heard that you told him that whoever wants to see you has to go through him first. In the end, when I want to see you, he also wants me to go through him first. Tell me … "
"And then you bully the weak?" Xu Ming asked.
"No, no, no. How is that possible?" Wu Gao Feng said: "I, Wu Gao Feng, am not so shameless as to attack an external rank five brat. When he swung his two sledgehammers at me, I gently pushed his sledgehammers to the side. "
"Is that so?" Xu Ming looked at Sun Ji.
"He is spouting nonsense!" Sun Ji stretched out his palm, "This Wu Gaofeng bullied me, he smashed my sledgehammers into pieces with two palms! Look, even the skin on my palms has been peeled off! "
Xu Ming looked at Sun Ji speechlessly: "F * ck, this brat's acting is too exaggerated …"
Just now, after Sun Ji beat up Ye Zhen, he immediately ran over to report to Xu Ming. Xu Ming pondered for a while and decided to set up a two-man show with Sun Ji to blackmail Wu Gaofeng.
Blackmailing was a technical job, it especially required acting skills. What Sun Ji needed to do was to cry — cry about how Wu Gaofeng bullied him.
But Xu Ming did not expect Sun Ji's acting to be so exaggerated — Smashing your sledgehammers into pieces with two palms? And even peeling off the skin on your palms?
F * ck!
Do you think Wu Gaofeng is a Xiantian master, smashing two sledgehammers with two palms?
Also, what kind of hands are your hands? Qilin arms? The sledgehammers were smashed, and only a layer of skin was peeled off your palms?
But at this moment, Xu Ming obviously could not expose Sun Ji. After listening, he immediately looked at Wu Gaofeng with a gloomy face, "Wu Gaofeng? You came looking for me today just to show off, right? "
"Of course not!" Wu Gaofeng hastily said.
How could he dare to say that he was here to show off? If he really said that, how could he continue the conversation, and how could he trick Xu Ming into returning to Feiyun Martial Pavilion? If he could not trick Xu Ming into returning, then what awaited him would be a cruel and severe punishment!
He had to appease Xu Ming's anger first!
Wu Gaofeng became even more submissive: "I really only gently moved the sledgehammers to one side. Also, I am not a Xiantian master, I am not powerful enough to …"
But before Wu Gaofeng could finish his words, Sun Ji took out a handful of iron powder from who knows where. It was obvious that he was prepared, "Then tell me, what is this?"
Xu Ming also shouted from the side, "I know how hard my brother Sun Ji's skin is! Even swords and sabers could not pierce through it, but now his palms are peeling off! Now you are still quibbling, do you think I am stupid? "
You think I am stupid? Wu Gaofeng had long cursed Xu Ming in his heart, but he did not dare to explode.
"I accidentally broke brother Sun Ji's sledgehammers. How about this, I am willing to compensate." Wu Gaofeng took out two gold notes worth one thousand taels, obviously admitting defeat. He planned to make a small fortune and let this matter pass. After all, if this matter did not pass, Xu Ming would continue to be entangled in this matter, and he would not be able to continue the main topic!
"Compensation?" Xu Ming glanced at Wu Gaofeng's gold notes and said faintly, "Little Ji, those sledgehammers of yours, were they passed down from your ancestors?"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Sun Ji quickly cooperated, "When my ancestors forged them, they cost over ten thousand taels of gold. A few days ago, I had someone appraise them, and they said that they are worth at least thirty thousand taels of gold!"
The more Wu Gaofeng heard, the darker his face became. In the end, he did not want to continue playing the fool.
"Xu Ming!" Wu Gaofeng walked in front of Xu Ming and looked him in the eye, "Let's talk openly! — I think you have more or less guessed why I am here! I know that I was unkind in this matter, and you must be unhappy and want to take revenge on me. Fine, I admit defeat! "
As he said this, Wu Gaofeng really took out a stack of gold notes. Each note was worth one thousand taels of gold.
"Thirty thousand taels of gold, this is my sincerity!" Wu Gaofeng cupped his hands and handed it over, "Now, we can talk properly!"
"Yo, they're really rich and overbearing!" Xu Ming gave Sun Ji a look. "Dian Dian."
"Oh, so much money!" Sun Ji really took it and counted it one by one. He even counted it back and forth a few times, "Boss, that's right, it's thirty thousand taels of gold."
Wu Gaofeng held back his patience and waited for him to finish counting before saying, "Now, can we talk?"
"Thirty thousand taels of gold, buy one sentence from me. Can we talk?" Xu Ming smiled. "Sure, let's talk!"
Wu Gaofeng said directly, "You have received the money, and you have vented your anger. Let's go, Xu Ming, follow me back to Feiyun Martial Pavilion!"
Xu Ming did not even blink, "I'm not going back!"
Not going back?
Wu Gaofeng was so angry that his face became a little crooked, "Xu Ming, are you kidding me? You have already received the money, why aren't you following me back to Feiyun Martial Pavilion!? "
"Money? What money? " Xu Ming pretended to be confused, "This money is the compensation for my brother Sun Ji's hammer. What does it have to do with me? Also, I am doing well in the Barbarian Martial House. When did I say that I want to follow you back to Feiyun Martial Pavilion? "
"You're not going back!?" Wu Gaofeng's perfect inner training aura suddenly exploded, "You have been playing with me all this time, right?"
"Yes, I have been playing with you, just like how you played with me that day!" Xu Ming said matter-of-factly, "I have already told you everything — — I have received your thirty thousand taels of gold. Treat it as the debt between us from before, settled. In the future, I will not find trouble with you, but you want me to follow you back to Feiyun Martial Pavilion? … … "
Xu Ming laughed out loud, "Don't joke around, okay? I am doing well in the Barbarian Martial House, why should I follow you back to Feiyun Martial Pavilion? If I go there, would I give you and Lin Mu Qing the chance to harm me? Do you think I am stupid!? "
"Please, take care, I won't send you off!"
After saying that, Xu Ming turned around and left.
"Xu Ming!!!" Wu Gaofeng was furious, "Today, whether you want to leave or not, you have to leave with me!"
If he couldn't bring Xu Ming back, the punishment would be too terrible. Just thinking about it made Wu Gaofeng shudder.
Today, no matter what, he had to bring Xu Ming back first. As for whether it would be useful to bring him back by force, Wu Gaofeng didn't have the time to think about it.
"Wu Gaofeng, it seems like you are used to being a tyrant in the capital. What, you want to make a move on me in the Barbarian Martial House? "Xu Ming laughed mockingly," Sure, try it! "
Sun Ji also looked at Wu Gaofeng with evil intentions.
Daring to make a move on a disciple of the Barbarian Martial House in the Barbarian Martial House, he was simply courting death!
"You … …" Wu Gaofeng was anxious, but he couldn't do anything, "Xu Ming, I will ask you one last time, are you coming back to Feiyun Martial Pavilion with me.
Chapter 20
Twenty days had passed since Xu Ming transmigrated to the Other World.
In these twenty days, Xu Ming had slowly adapted to this world without electricity and internet.
His cultivation level was steadily increasing, and unknowingly, he had already reached the last stage of external training — External Training Sixth Stage.
Because it was too boring to be able to level up by just using AFK all day, Xu Ming would even occasionally activate the "Perfect Battle" hack, using the perspective close to the Minute Subtlety to comprehend the realm.
If it was in the past, Xu Ming would definitely not be able to do such extravagant behavior. But now, he did not feel the pinch at all after casually activating the "Perfect Battle" hack a few times — who asked Wu Gaofeng to be so attentive as to send him tens of thousands of taels of gold?
The effect of throwing down large amounts of gold was also obvious!
Although Xu Ming's current realm was still far from the Minute Subtlety, compared to twenty days ago, it was like the difference between heaven and earth. The current Xu Ming did not even need to activate the "Perfect Battle" to be able to fight evenly with Sun Ji.
In other words, even if he did not activate the "Perfect Battle", in the external training stage, Xu Ming would already be hard pressed to find a worthy opponent.
"Boss, boss, I'm here, I've bought delicious food again!"
Just as Xu Ming was sitting cross-legged in meditation to comprehend the realm, Sun Ji yelled and ran over, carrying a large bag of things in his hands. "These, I ran to a few streets in the capital today to buy them! They were all obtained from the locals who were born and raised here. Normal people would not be able to find them at all! "
Xu Ming realized that there was definitely a reason why Sun Ji could grow so tall and big. Because Sun Ji … loved to eat! And he could eat a lot!
In the past, Sun Ji did not have much money on hand, so he would more or less weigh the food he ate. But since a few days ago, Xu Ming had given him a stack of gold notes from the "stolen goods", about ten thousand taels of gold, Sun Ji could not stop eating at all!
Every day, not only did Sun Ji eat for himself, he also brought a large pile of food for Xu Ming to eat.
With Sun Ji's convenience, these few days, Xu Ming could be considered to have tasted a lot of the flavors of the Other World.
"What a joke!" Xu Ming said earnestly, "You can't just focus on eating. You can't neglect your cultivation!"
"Oh, cultivation?" Sun Ji's mouth was stuffed with food. "Boss, I accidentally broke through to the External Refinement Sixth Transformation last night!"
"So fast?" Xu Ming was a little surprised.
"I don't know what's going on either. Anyway, it seems like the more I eat, the faster my cultivation increases!"
"There's such a thing? Then hurry up and eat. After you finish eating, I'll test your strength! "
When Sun Ji was an external Rank five martial artist, he could defeat many external Rank six martial artists. Then, how powerful would Sun Ji be now?
Xu Ming wanted to give it a try.
After the meal, the two brothers had a spar.
Sure enough, Sun Ji's strength had completely surpassed the level of an external cultivator. Even if Xu Ming's cultivation technique, Mortal Severing, was extremely high-end, in terms of pure strength, he was still far from Sun Ji's reach.
However, once Xu Ming started the perfect battle, Sun Ji was instantly defeated.
"Boss, your moves are too unimaginable!" Sun Ji had never been convinced by anyone since he was young. Even if it was those internal cultivators who were stronger than him, he was not convinced. Because he firmly believed that he would be stronger than them one day.
However, Sun Ji had no choice but to be convinced by Xu Ming!
Every time he exchanged blows with Xu Ming, Sun Ji only felt that his moves were completely unfathomable. Although Xu Ming didn't use much strength in his moves, he was able to exert ten percent of his strength. Although Sun Ji's strength was great, it was often not used.
"Little Ji, if your strength is a little stronger, I reckon even I can't beat you!" Xu Ming wasn't being modest. Now, even if he started the perfect battle, it wasn't easy for him to deal with Sun Ji. It could be said that these days, Sun Ji's improvement wasn't inferior to Xu Ming's. It was even greater than Xu Ming's.
"But Little Ji, in terms of realm, you really have to think of a way to raise it! You're born with divine strength. If your realm is a little stronger, you'll definitely be invincible! "
"Realm?" Sun Ji felt like he was in the clouds, "Boss, what is realm?"
"This thing … Sigh, it can only be understood but not explained. You'd better practice your hammering skills! Maybe as you practice, you'll have some enlightenment in your heart! "
Realm was indeed difficult to describe with words.
Because realm was originally a person's understanding of the nature of heaven and earth. However, everyone's perspective and thoughts were different. What they comprehended was also different.
Even if it was the same "Minute Subtlety" realm, what Xu Ming comprehended was a kind of balance between attack and defense. As for Sun Ji, he would definitely comprehend from the perspective of using strength to break through techniques.
"Ming, there's a person called Lin Mu Qing at the entrance of the Martial House looking for you!" A new disciple of the Martial House ran over to pass on the message.
Ming, this was the name that the new disciples of the Martial House of the Wilderness respectfully called Xu Ming. It was also because they believed in Xu Ming's strength.
"Boss, I'll drive him away!" Sun Ji immediately walked out.
Sun Ji always remembered his mission as a little brother, which was to help Xu Ming drive away those annoying kittens and puppies!
"No need!" Xu Ming thought for a moment and said, "I'll go by myself. It's about time to see Lin Mu Qing."
Lin Mu Qing was undoubtedly Xu Ming's number one enemy in this world.
Ever since Xu Ming crossed over, he had always been on guard against being killed by Lin Mu Qing. It wasn't until he entered the Martial House of the Wilderness that he felt a bit of security.
Moreover, Xu Ming's three obsessions, two of them were directly related to Lin Mu Qing!
And today, Xu Ming was finally going to stand face to face with Lin Mu Qing.
When he saw Lin Mu Qing at the entrance of the Martial House, Lin Mu Qing was still wearing his elegant white robes and was incomparably arrogant.
"Xu Ming?" Lin Mu Qing playfully looked at Xu Ming, "I really didn't expect you to hide so deeply!"
"Speak, why are you looking for me?" Xu Ming looked straight at Lin Mu Qing. There was no emotion in his eyes.
Only Xu Ming knew that if he had the chance, he would definitely kill Lin Mu Qing. It was because of his obsessions and also for his own survival.
"I'm here to inform you of something. Follow me back to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion!" Lin Mu Qing ordered.
Actually, Lin Mu Qing really didn't want to come looking for Xu Ming. At that time, it was Lin Mu Qing who thought of a way to expel Xu Ming from the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. Now that he had to personally invite him back, he felt that he had lost a lot of face.
However, Lin Mu Qing had no choice but to come.
If he didn't come, Wu Gaofeng would probably be severely punished by the Martial Pavilion.
Although Lin Mu Qing and Wu Gaofeng were just ordinary fair-weather friends and didn't have a deep friendship, Lin Mu Qing was responsible for this. But for something like this to happen, Lin Muqing had to take full responsibility. In this kind of situation, if he didn't help clean up the mess, then his reputation in the capital would be ruined. When that time came, who would help him?
"****!" Lin Mu Qing cursed in his heart, "The elders of the Martial Pavilion actually said that Xu Ming's talent could be ranked in the top five in the entire history of the Flying Cloud Country!"
Lin Mu Qing also didn't expect that he would provoke such a terrifying genius. However, Lin Mu Qing wasn't worried or regretful. This was because the more talented a genius was, the easier it was to be associated with a word. This word was — premature death!
"Xu Ming must die!" Lin Mu Qing's eyes were cold.
However, Xu Ming had been hiding in the Savage Martial House, so he didn't have a chance to make a move.
"Follow you back to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion?" Xu Ming had already expected Lin Mu Qing's intentions, "I say, young master Qing, a few days ago, didn't you use all sorts of methods to prevent me from entering the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion? Why are you begging me to go back now? "
"You want to beg my boss to go back? Sure! Show me your sincerity first, then we'll sit down and talk! " Sun Ji timely played his role as a little brother, "As for what we can talk about, it will depend on your sincerity! The more sincerity you have, the better the negotiations! Come, take out the gold. Ten or twenty thousand is not too little, a hundred or eighty thousand is not too much! "
After extorting Wu Gaofeng last time, Sun Ji was clearly addicted to extortion. Now that he saw Lin Mu Qing dressed in bright clothes, it was as if he had seen a pile of gold ingots. The moment he opened his mouth, he brought up money. It was that simple and crude.
"Beg you to go back?" Lin Mu Qing sneered, "You're thinking too much. I'm not here to beg you to go back, I'm here to order you to go back!"
"Oh? Where is your confidence coming from? "Xu Ming smiled.
"Humph, humph, I'm sure you've heard a lot about our Lin Family's influence in the capital!" Lin Mu Qing arrogantly said, "I might as well tell you directly. If you hide in the Savage Martial House, I really can't do anything to you. However, as long as you leave, I have a way to deal with you — — as long as you're willing to pay the price!"
Xu Ming nodded, "Indeed, I admit that your Lin Family has the ability. But since the Savage Martial House is so safe, then if I go to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion with you, wouldn't I die even faster? "
"As long as you're willing to return to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion and never see Chi Xue again, I can promise you that our past grievances will be written off!" Lin Mu Qing said, "Moreover, I can promise that I won't make a move against you in the future!"
"Hearing you say that, it seems that I should return to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion with you and thank you for not killing me?"
Xu Ming really admired Lin Mu Qing's shamelessness. From the beginning to the end, it was clearly him who had used all kinds of methods against him. But now, he spoke as if he had forgiven him — — this kind of person, wasn't he too shameless?
Moreover, even if he was this shameless, Xu Ming knew that there must be a trap! Xu Ming didn't believe that if he really returned to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, Lin Mu Qing wouldn't find a chance to make a move against him.
"Then what if I don't go?"
"Don't go? That's fine, I won't force you! " He didn't expect Lin Mu Qing to say this, "If you insist on not returning to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion with me, I've prepared two paths for you. The first path is for you and your brother Sun Ji. It's best if you never leave the Savage Martial House, or else … … Haha! "
Xu Ming's face turned cold.
If it was only directed at him, Xu Ming wouldn't be afraid. But now, Lin Mu Qing actually wanted to drag Sun Ji into this as well. This was something that Xu Ming couldn't tolerate!
Although Xu Ming and Sun Ji had only known each other for a few days, he had indeed been infected by this one-track minded burly man's straightforwardness. Xu Ming had even secretly probed Sun Ji and confirmed that he was definitely a brother worth befriending.
And now, Lin Mu Qing was actually using Sun Ji to threaten him.
Xu Ming suppressed his anger and continued to listen.
"The second path … … I'll give you a chance!"
"What chance?"
"I want to challenge you! As long as you win against me, you can choose not to go to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion and our grudges will be written off. However, if you lose … … you have to obediently return to the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion with me! "
"Challenge?" Xu Ming raised his eyebrows, "Okay! When and where.
Chapter 21
The Ten Thousand Beast Arena was an ancient arena that had a history almost as long as the Flying Cloud Country. Its background was unfathomable.
Here, countless peerless experts that shocked history had appeared. Here, countless young and frivolous geniuses had died.
Lin Mu Qing had issued a challenge to Xu Ming and had set the location at the Ten Thousand Beast Arena. It was clear that he had come prepared.
"There is no life or death in the Ten Thousand Beast Arena! If I kill Xu Ming here, even the Savage Martial House won't be able to find fault with me. They can only blame their disciples for not being strong enough! "
Standing on one of the stages of the Ten Thousand Beast Arena, Lin Mu Qing looked at the isolation array around him and revealed a sinister smile. This was because he had the staff of the arena activate the "Fight to the Death". Only when one side died or both sides agreed to stop the battle would the battle end!
Admitting defeat was useless!
"Last time when the Martial Pavilion recruited new disciples, this Xu Ming was definitely only an external fourth rank cultivator!" Lin Mu Qing looked at Xu Ming, "Even if he can hide his cultivation, it is impossible for him to escape the detection array!"
At that time, Lin Yan and Lin Miao, who were both external fifth rank cultivators, were only able to enter the fourth rank area because Wu Gao Feng had gone easy on them. As for Xu Ming, Wu Gao Feng would not go easy on him.
"A few days ago, he was only an external fourth rank cultivator. Now, at most, he is only an external fifth rank cultivator!"
"The reason why he is so powerful, according to the elders of the Martial Pavilion, is because his cultivation realm is extremely high!"
"Cultivation realm?" Lin Mu Qing smiled in disdain. He came from a rich family and naturally knew the importance of cultivation realm, "If the difference in cultivation isn't large, cultivation realm can indeed reverse the situation. However, my cultivation is already at the initial stage of internal training. How can I deal with someone who is at most an external fifth rank cultivator? Hehe, if I casually slash out with my sword, he won't be able to block it! "
As the saying goes, one person can defeat ten people!
Lin Muqing had many schemes, but could it be that Xu Ming was a fool?
Actually, when Xu Ming had seen Lin Muqing at the entrance of the Savage Martial House, he had already used [Examine] on him and analyzed his chances of winning against Lin Muqing.
"Lin Muqing, cultivation at the early stage of internal training. His realm is ordinary … …" After analyzing, Xu Ming came to the conclusion that his chances of winning were quite high, "It's time to see how powerful an internal training martial artist is!"
Xu Ming gently stroked the spear in his hands.
He had spent a lot of money to hire a blacksmith from the Martial House to forge this spear for him. Although it was an ordinary weapon, Xu Ming was able to use it with ease.
As for why Xu Ming chose the spear as his main weapon, it was because Xu Ming had discovered through his research that he was the strongest when he used the spear in a perfect battle!
"Xu Ming, I admit that your spear technique is indeed very amazing. If my cultivation level was the same as yours, I admit that I wouldn't be your match! It's a pity … … your cultivation is too weak! " Lin Mu Qing used a sharp sword, "With such a weak cultivation, you dare to stand on this stage. It can only be said that you have been forced into a corner by me, right?"
Xu Ming pointed his spear, "Then have you ever thought that the one who can't leave this stage might be you?"
"Haha!" Lin Mu Qing seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, "Your cultivation is at most at the Fifth Revolution, yet you dare to talk to me like this? It seems that you really don't know how big the difference between internal training and external training is! How about this, I'll give you a chance to live. As long as you kneel in front of me, kowtow ten times, and shout 'Grandpa, I was wrong' three times, I'll spare your life today. How about it? "
Lin Mu Qing sneered in his heart, 'That's right, I'll spare your life. However, I'll definitely break your tendons and cripple your meridians, making you unable to cultivate for the rest of your life! Moreover, I'll bring you back and lock you up. Whenever I'm happy, I'll torture you! '
"Shout what three times?" Xu Ming asked.
"Grandpa, I was wrong!"
"What?" Xu Ming still acted as if he hadn't heard anything.
"Grandpa, I was wrong!"
"What? Say it louder! "
"Grandpa, I was wrong … F * ck, kid, you're courting death!!!" Lin Mu Qing finally realized that he had been played. "F * ck, you actually dared to play with me!"
Lin Mu Qing's sword flashed with a green light. This was the Xuan Qi that only internal training martial artists had. Under Lin Mu Qing's feet, the same green light was spitting out. In the blink of an eye, his speed had soared to an extreme!
Not only did internal training martial artists have far more physical strength than external training martial artists, they also had something that external training martial artists couldn't have — Xuan Qi!
Even if it was only the initial stage of internal training, the power brought by Xuan Qi was not the slightest bit weaker than the physical strength! In other words, an initial stage internal training martial artist's strength was at least two to three times that of an external training martial artist's Sixth Revolution. This was also why it was as difficult as ascending to the heavens for an external training martial artist to defeat an initial stage internal training martial artist. The difference of two to three times was like the difference between an adult and a child!
"Die for me!!"
The green light flashed and appeared in front of Xu Ming.
"So fast!" Outside the stage, Sun Ji saw Lin Mu Qing's speed and felt frightened, "If it's just strength, I might be able to fight with him. But his speed is much faster than mine. If I were to fight with him, I'm afraid I would be killed in an instant! "
No matter how strong you were, if your speed wasn't good enough, you wouldn't even be able to touch your opponent's clothes.
Although Sun Ji was very confident in Xu Ming's strength, at this time, he couldn't help but worry for Xu Ming. "Boss, you have to be careful!"
Internal training martial artists, no matter what, were much stronger than external training martial artists!
Sun Ji, who was watching from the side, was shocked. As for Xu Ming, who was facing the attack directly, he could feel how fast Lin Mu Qing was.
However …
Lin Mu Qing was fast, but Xu Ming wasn't slow either!
Although in terms of strength, Xu Ming was much weaker than Lin Mu Qing and Sun Ji, Xu Ming's various aspects — strength, speed, agility, endurance, etc., were very balanced!
Xu Ming didn't have any shortcomings!
Moreover, compared to an ordinary external training sixth transformation martial artist, Xu Ming's attributes were better by 50%!
It was this 50% attribute advantage that allowed Xu Ming to not be crushed by Lin Mu Qing's strength and speed when facing him. In other words, even if he didn't use the perfect battle, Xu Ming would still be able to struggle against Lin Mu Qing. And now, Xu Ming had used the perfect battle.
Bang!
The tip of the long spear accurately pierced Lin Mu Qing's weakest point. Lin Mu Qing clearly had the advantage in strength, but this stab almost made his sword fly out of his hand.
"This …" Lin Mu Qing was stunned, "Your strength and speed … when did you reach the external training sixth transformation?"
"No!"
"You're much stronger than an ordinary external training sixth transformation martial artist … I know! You must have taken a forbidden medicine, you must have taken a forbidden medicine! " Other than that, Lin Mu Qing really couldn't imagine why Xu Ming would suddenly become so powerful. "Moreover, it must be a very fierce forbidden medicine that allows you to cultivate to the fifth rank and display strength that surpasses the sixth rank!"
"Forbidden medicine?" Xu Ming was too lazy to explain. Since he wanted to think like this, then let him think like this. Anyway … Xu Ming's killing intent towards Lin Mu Qing had already risen.
"It's useless!" Lin Mu Qing shouted, "Even if you took a forbidden medicine, the gap between external and internal training is insurmountable! Just now I was careless, but next time, I won't be as lucky as you! — — Life Severing Eighteen Swords! "
Xu Ming was just about to use his long spear to block the sword blade, but he found that sword qi formed where the sword blade passed and came from all directions to kill him.
This was the Lin family's secret technique — — Life Severing Eighteen Swords! At the very least, one had to be at the internal training realm and have Xuan Qi in their body to be able to practice it. Only a Xiantian master could master this sword technique.
"Six Sword Qis!"
Although Lin Mu Qing could only display six Sword Qis at the same time, the six Sword Qis were in a tricky position, making it impossible for Xu Ming to dodge.
"Hey!"
Xu Ming's whole body soared into the air, twisting his body at an incredible angle, and forcibly passing through the gaps between the six Sword Qis. At the same time, Xu Ming's long spear also launched an attack.
Bang!
Although Lin Muqing managed to block the spear, he was still forced back a few steps by the spear that contained all of Xu Ming's strength.
However, Lin Mu Qing was not shocked by the power of the spear, but rather, "How is this possible? How can you avoid my Life Severing Eighteen Swords!? "
Life Severing Eighteen Swords was an absolute killing move. Once it was used, Lin Mu Qing had never heard of anyone who could avoid it. At least, they would have to resist one or two Sword Qis. But the fact was in front of him, Xu Ming had indeed avoided all of them.
"If it was really the Life Severing Eighteen Swords, of course I wouldn't be able to avoid it! It's a pity that you only have Life Severing Six Swords, you're still missing twelve! " This time, it was Xu Ming's turn to follow up. He was sure that Lin Mu Qing had used a killing move that he thought would definitely consume a lot of energy.
"No ….. Impossible!"
But now was not the time for Lin Mu Qing to shout 'impossible' because he had to focus on dealing with Xu Ming's fierce attacks.
"After you took the forbidden medicine, you really are strong, you almost threatened me!" Even now, Lin Mu Qing still believed that Xu Ming had taken the forbidden medicine. This could not be blamed on him, after all, Xu Ming's cultivation speed was too shocking, no one dared to believe it. "But ….. Do you think you're the only one with the forbidden medicine?"
Lin Mu Qing waved his hand and a red pill appeared in his hand.
"Although you took the forbidden medicine first, for you to force me to take the forbidden medicine, I admire you! But it's a pity that today, you must die.
Chapter 22
"F * ck, too shameless!" Sun Ji clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
Sun Ji certainly knew that Xu Ming did not use any forbidden medicine, but his strength was already like this. On the contrary, Lin Muqing, who had repeatedly scolded Xu Ming for using forbidden medicine, was now eating forbidden medicine.
"It's fine if you want to challenge an external expert, but now that you can't win, you're actually eating forbidden medicine!"
In Sun Ji's view, people like Lin Muqing, if not for his illustrious family background, were not worth a fart!
"A coward who relies on his family background to flaunt his strength outside!" Sun Ji's personality was straightforward and violent, so he began cursing on the spot.
However, no matter how much Sun Ji cursed, he could not change the situation on the stage.
At this time, Lin Muqing's momentum had increased by 50%, "This time, I want to see what other tricks you can use!"
The difference in strength was too great. Even if Lin Muqing directly relied on his attributes to crush Xu Ming, he could still crush him!
"This is a bit troublesome!"
Fortunately, Xu Ming had already mentally prepared himself for Lin Muqing's shamelessness. Although he felt that it was troublesome, he did not panic.
Secretly, Xu Ming calmly used [Inspect].
"Lin Muqing is currently in a state of using forbidden medicine. All his attributes are close to the middle stage of internal training. He cannot be defeated by force!"
"Eh … cannot be defeated by force?" Xu Ming was speechless. "Nonsense, of course I know I cannot be defeated by force!"
The results of [Inspect] continued to feed back, "… The forbidden medicine state lasts for half an incense stick of time. Currently, it is recommended to use a roundabout tactic to stall for time. Once the forbidden medicine state is lifted, Lin Muqing will enter a weakened state!"
"Roundabout tactic? That's wretched! "
Speaking of wretchedness, it could be considered Xu Ming's specialty. In the past, when he played competitive games, Xu Ming's favorite thing to do was to be wretched. Xu Ming even had a motto — if a person was not wretched, then he would be a waste of youth!
"It's just stalling for half an incense stick of time, it shouldn't be too difficult!"
In the blink of an eye, Lin Muqing had already rushed forward, "Xu Ming, give me your life!"
"Do you think I'm afraid of you!?" Xu Ming's body shook, and his spear trembled, as if he was about to step forward and meet force with force.
"Meet force with force? You really don't know what's good for you! "Lin Muqing's eyes were filled with disdain as he increased the strength of his hand.
However, just as the weapons of both sides were about to come into contact, Xu Ming's spear suddenly retracted, while Xu Ming himself also broke into a run.
"Haha! Do you think I'm stupid to fight you head-on? "
Xu Ming was prepared in advance. With this run, it was naturally easy for him to escape. As for Lin Muqing, she hadn't made any preparations beforehand. Her sword had hit nothing, so there was no need to mention how uncomfortable it was.
"You … Are you playing with me?"
"I say, Young Master Qing, why are you still throwing a tantrum at me? We're in a life-and-death battle, not playing house. What's wrong with toying with you? " Xu Ming took a few steps back and deliberately said, "I've just started playing. There's still a lot more to play with you!"
"You!" Lin Muqing was furious.
However, he also knew that he had to remain calm at this time. The more he didn't calm down, the easier it would be for Xu Ming to lead him by the nose.
"Humph, keep playing! My strength far surpasses yours, but my cultivation is slightly lower than yours. Soon, you'll play yourself to death! "
"You can come and try!" Xu Ming was happy to engage in a war of words with Lin Muqing, because every time he said a word, Lin Muqing's forbidden drug status would decrease by a few seconds. "Just you, and your cultivation is slightly lower than mine? Let me tell you, if we had the same cultivation, I would only use one hand and wouldn't even need to use a weapon to kill you! "
"Humph, I'm bullying you because your cultivation is low, so what?"
Lin Muqing once again rushed forward, and Xu Ming raised his spear to meet him.
"Again? I won't fall into the same pit twice! " Lin Muqing, who had already suffered a loss, was naturally more careful this time. He didn't dare to use his full strength with the sword in his hand and instead held back a lot.
"As long as I'm careful and slowly close in on him, then he'll definitely lose!" Lin Muqing thought to himself.
"Oh?" Xu Ming, who was in a perfect state, had sharp eyesight. He immediately saw through Lin Muqing's intentions, "Since you won't use your full strength, then … …"
Xu Ming's current realm was close to Hyperfocus. His control over the spear in his hand was already like an extension of his arm, incomparably meticulous. He found that Lin Muqing's strength this time was a bit weak, so he immediately seized the opportunity and erupted with his full strength.
"Die!!"
The spear's speed suddenly soared as it went straight for Lin Muqing's throat.
"F * ck!" Lin Muqing dodged again and increased the strength in his hand.
Xu Ming's spear was like a slippery loach. With a light touch, it retracted, not giving Lin Muqing a chance to meet force with force.
"F * ck! F * ck! F * ck! " After being defeated twice in a row, Lin Muqing was about to go crazy. For the third time, he didn't hesitate to suffer a small injury to teach Xu Ming a good lesson.
Xu Ming still looked like he was attacking and retreating at the same time.
Only this time, Xu Ming's eyes suddenly lit up. He looked behind Lin Muqing, "Little Ji, how did you get into the arena? Quick, help me hit him with a sledgehammer! "
"What? There's someone behind me? "Lin Muqing quickly turned around, but he saw that there was no one behind him.
"Not good!"
Sure enough, Xu Ming's spear had already arrived. Although he tried his best to resist, he still suffered a small injury.
"Deceitful and shameless!" Lin Muqing hatefully clenched his teeth.
This time, even Sun Ji, who was outside the arena, couldn't help but agree with Lin Muqing's opinion, "Boss is really deceitful, he even used me! But Boss is really worthy of being Boss. He must be using actual combat to teach me what to do when I meet an opponent stronger than me. "
Thinking of this, Sun Ji concentrated on learning and thinking. But after thinking about it, he found that all of Xu Ming's moves could be summed up in one word – vulgar!
Using the weak to fight the strong, wasn't that just vulgar?
Under Xu Ming's incomparably vulgar stalling, even if Lin Muqing ate the forbidden medicine, even if he used all of his trump cards, he still couldn't gain the slightest advantage. Instead, from time to time, Xu Ming would sneak up on him and cause him to suffer some minor injuries.
Half an incense stick of time quickly passed.
"I … …" Lin Muqing could clearly feel the medicinal effects in his body recede like a tide. His aura suddenly decreased, and at the same time, a sense of weakness rose from the depths of his muscles.
Lin Muqing's complexion greatly changed, "Not good! The effects of the forbidden medicine are over! "
The current Lin Muqing was even weaker than before he had taken the forbidden medicine. In terms of attributes, he wasn't much stronger than Xu Ming.
"This … … this … … this … …" Lin Muqing's eyes had turned red from all the killing. Now that the effects of the forbidden medicine had receded, he realized that his situation was extremely dangerous!
"How come my forbidden medicine's time has already expired, but your forbidden medicine's still not?" Lin Muqing still couldn't accept the fact that Xu Ming hadn't taken any forbidden medicine at all, "Where did you buy your forbidden medicine from? Why does it last so long?"
"Ah." Xu Ming smiled but didn't say anything.
He hadn't taken any forbidden medicine at all, so why would he need to explain it to Lin Muqing?
"Lin Muqing, you still have the mind to care about where I bought my forbidden medicine? I think you should be more concerned about how you'll die! "
"You … … You want to kill me?" Lin Muqing stared at him.
"Haha, we're in a situation where we won't stop until we die. Admitting defeat is useless!" Xu Ming said, "Tell me … … Should I kill you?"
"Admitting defeat is useless, but if we both agree to stop fighting, then it'll be fine!" Lin Muqing was frightened by the current situation and actually said such stupid words.
Sure enough, Xu Ming immediately scolded, "Idiot!"
"Do you think it's possible for me to agree to stop fighting? Or think about it, if I was the one who lost, would you let me go? — — Don't talk nonsense, just die! "
"You … … You … … Xu Ming, if you dare to kill me, the Lin Family will definitely not let you go!" Lin Muqing was powerless to threaten him.
"In the Ten Thousand Beast Arena, there is no life or death in a duel! If I kill you today, it's only right and proper! " Xu Ming said, "As long as I'm in the right, even if your Lin Family is powerful, my Savage Martial House will still protect me!"
Joining a Martial House, in addition to receiving guidance on the path of martial arts, would also give you the Martial House's protection.
Of course, even if the Savage Martial House was strong, it was impossible for them to protect their disciples. If the disciple was in the wrong first and the other side was powerful, the Savage Martial House would still make concessions. But — — if they were in the right, the Savage Martial House would not let their disciple suffer a loss even if they had to pay any price!
Xu Ming killing Lin Muqing now wasn't a problem at all. The Lin Family was indeed powerful, but the Savage Martial House was even more powerful than the Lin Family!
Originally, Lin Muqing had considered that the Savage Martial House was too powerful. If he killed Xu Ming outside, the Savage Martial House might retaliate against him. Therefore, he racked his brains to force Xu Ming to fight him at the Myriad Beast Arena!
But he never would have thought that even though he had been an internal practitioner for a long time, he wouldn't be able to defeat Xu Ming who was only an external practitioner. Furthermore, the Ten Thousand Beast Arena that he had set up to fight to the death had become his own trap.
"I'm very important to the Lin Family, I'm a strong candidate for the Patriarch's successor! If you kill me, even with the Savage Martial House's protection, my Lin Family will definitely think of a way to avenge me! "Lin Muqing weakly threatened," My Lin Family will even go to 'Hidden Assassin' and place a bounty on you! "
Hidden Assassin, an incomparably mysterious and powerful assassin organization.
"Don't talk nonsense. Today, you must die!" Xu Ming slowly approached.
"A coward will always be a coward!" Outside the arena, Sun Ji looked at Lin Muqing's cowardly appearance and despised him even more, "If the Lin Family's Patriarch is really succeeded by such a person, then the Lin Family's glory won't last long!"
"You …" Lin Muqing was speechless because he realized that Xu Ming wasn't threatened at all.
Helpless, Lin Muqing could only beg for mercy, "If you're willing to let me go, I'm willing to give you a hundred thousand gold taels!"
"Oh? Begging for mercy? "Xu Ming stopped in his tracks with interest," A hundred thousand gold taels for your life? "
"Yes!" Lin Muqing clenched his teeth.
"Do you have the gold? Cash? "
"Yes, as long as you agree to stop fighting, I'll give it to you immediately!"
"Agree to stop fighting and give it to me?" Xu Ming smiled, "Do you think I'm stupid?! When the time comes, if you don't admit it, who am I going to cry to? "
"Then … I'll give you the gold first, is that okay?!"
"He, he … …" Xu Ming smiled, "I think, I don't need to trouble you to give it to me. I'll just take it myself, it'll be more convenient!"
Take it himself?
Isn't that just killing Lin Muqing first and then taking it?
"You … … If you dare to kill me, I'll definitely destroy my storage ring before I die!" Storage rings were made from natural stones. It wasn't easy to make, but it wasn't hard to destroy. "If you let me go now, not only will you get a hundred thousand gold taels, you also won't have to become a blood feud with my Lin Family. Otherwise, you won't get anything and my Lin Family will definitely take revenge for me! "
Xu Ming thought for a bit, "That's true. If you say it like this, then the value of your dog life is quite high! Un — — How about this, give me your storage ring and treat it as buying your life! "
"Storage ring … … No, no!" Lin Muqing quickly said.
The storage ring was his most precious treasure. Even if everything in the storage ring was added together, it still wouldn't be worth as much as the storage ring.
If the storage ring was gone, then Lin Muqing would go bankrupt! At that time, he wouldn't be able to afford the expensive internal training resources and his cultivation progress would be slowed down. Like this, his chances of inheriting the family head position would be slim.
"I'm not bargaining with you, I'm giving you a chance to live!" Xu Ming had no expression, "If you give me your storage ring, then I'll be merciful and let you go. Otherwise, you can die! Anyway, other than the storage ring, I don't care about anything else. If you want to destroy it, then destroy it! "
"Do you want to die or live? Hurry up and choose! I don't have the patience to wait. You know, I've long wanted to see you die! "Xu Ming raised his spear," I'll only count to three — — "
"Three … …"
"Two
