Tong Lao kept clapping and frolicking, compared to the six contestants in front of him, Tong Lao's mood at the moment was obviously much higher.

"Zheng'er has actually reached the twenty-ninth level of soul power?" Shangguan Tianyun exclaimed in surprise, but when he turned his head, he found that Zhou Hong was also like himself, with an extremely surprised expression.

"It's a real talent. Su Yushan nodded approvingly.

"Why is this kid more than a must?" Tong Lao jumped up from his position and shouted angrily. "With the Zhou family's current poor and sour appearance, I'm afraid that if it weren't for this kid's soul power cultivation process, Zhou Hong could only do nothing and couldn't provide any substantial help, right?"

The rest of the people turned their heads to look at Zhou Hong and observed the latter's expression. Tong Lao has always been open-mouthed, and he says what he thinks.

Since more than 50 years ago, the strength of the Zhou family has plummeted, which is an unfair fact. But even so, the elders of the other four major clans, who were also members of the Great Yan Dynasty, did not deliberately mention this matter.

However, Tong Lao is not a person who will take care of the faces of others, all along, Zhou Zheng's growth process, the elders of the other clans have heard of it somewhat.

Every elder was amazed after learning about Zhou Zheng's talent for soul power cultivation.

Zhou Zheng has achieved such outstanding achievements, but he is still forcibly under such harsh conditions as the decline of the Zhou family's strength.

Unlike Wang Yan and Shangguan Yun, Zhou Zheng did not have the strong family financial resources to help. Unable to obtain the cultivation bonus of the elixir, Zhou Zheng could only rely on his own talent and hard work to reach the same height as Wang Yan and Shangguan Yun, which was very rare.

saw Zhou Hong's mouth open in surprise, and he didn't pay attention to what Tong Lao said.

Tong Lao waited for a long time and didn't wait for Zhou Hong's angry response, he couldn't help frowning, and sat back in his seat with his hands on his hips.

In this way, it is no wonder that Tong Lao is so looking forward to Zheng'er's performance. Ye Chen looked at Zhou Hong calmly, he didn't expect the latter to be indifferent in the face of such a sharp provocation by Tong Lao's words.

Back on the stage, Zhou Zheng walked to the other side, separated himself from Li Mu and Wang Yan's team, and stood alone in another place.

Li Mu looked at Zhou Zheng with a complicated expression, the latter should be regarded as the person of the Great Yan Dynasty with the weirdest personality he had ever come into contact with in his life.

"It seems that all the contestants have completed the soul power test, so please rest for a while and start the next level of the challenge immediately. The fat old man led everyone to the back of the stage, Zhou Zheng found a tree, picked a young grass casually, put it to his mouth, closed his eyes and sat down to enjoy the shade.

"You still have time to sleep?"

Zhou Zheng opened his left eye slightly, and found that it was Shangguan Yun who came over and sat next to Zhou Zheng to enjoy the shade.

"There are so many class trees over there, why did you come here?"

"Your name is engraved on the tree?"

"Miss Shangguan is really arrogant. Zhou Zheng applauded mockingly. "So what's the point?"

"I'm about to enter the exam room, are you ready?"

"I'm all up to you for the next level, why do I need to prepare?" Zhou Zheng shrugged.

"Poetry appreciation, you don't know anything, it's also quite rare. ”

To Zhou Zheng's surprise, Shangguan Yun's ridicule didn't sound bad, but it was inexplicably comfortable.

"I bet Wang Yan won't. Zhou Zheng turned sideways and pointed to Wang Yan, who was enjoying the shade under the tree in the distance.

"You just... Have you met Wang Yan before?"

"No, but I've heard of him, why do you ask?"

"Wang Yan said he had seen you. ”

An inexplicable sense of tension hit, and Zhou Zheng sat up straight and listened carefully.

"Does he know me?"

"To be honest with you, that night at the inn, Wang Yan strongly asked you to join the team. ”

"Me?" Zhou Zheng looked in Wang Yan's direction suspiciously. "Why?"

"He said that your strength is not bad, plus you are a member of the Great Yan Dynasty. ”

"But I've never seen him. ”

"Are you sure?" Shangguan Yun frowned slightly. "When he introduced us to us, it sounded like you knew each other very well. ”

"I don't know him at all, I haven't seen him. ”

"After coming to the Imperial City, are you sure you haven't seen it?"

"Why do you believe him so much?"

"Because he accurately said that you were carrying a dark red heavy sword, which is why I could recognize you when we first met in Wenxianglou. ”

"So you specially arranged the first day of meeting?"

"Almost. ”

Zhou Zheng didn't expect Shangguan Yun to be calculating himself from the beginning, and when he thought that the women he met so far were basically scheming, but only Nangong Yunmeng was honest with him, Zhou Zheng couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

"It's a defeat for you, and it's up to you to wait for the next level. ”

"Are you sure you can take me out of the labyrinth?"

"Of course. Zhou Zheng shook his finger disdainfully. "But like I said at the beginning, I can only take you alone. ”

"Of course. But you should know that if the contestants who reach the top are all people from the Jianghu sect, the consequences will be very serious. ”

"Why is it serious?"

"You are from the Great Yan Dynasty, can you have a sense of responsibility?"

"You two yellow-level powerhouses, you won't be able to beat three twenty-five or so, right?

"Once one of me and Wang Yan falls before the peak, it is very likely that only the Jianghu Sect will enter the peak, so that the elders of the various clans will not be able to hang on their faces. ”

"So what?" Zhou Zheng squeezed his eyebrows disdainfully. "What does this have to do with me?"

"You are a contestant of one of the five major clans of the Great Yan Dynasty, and you still wear the Zhou family sigil around your waist, you should also have a sense of clan mission. ”

"I don't have that thing right now. Zhou Zheng spread his hands helplessly. "Since I was a child, the Zhou family has never participated in any inter-clan activities, so I'm sorry, I don't have a sense of clan mission, I only have a sense of family mission. For me, it's just a matter of not losing the face of the Zhou family. ”

"The Zhou family is also the clan of the Great Yan Dynasty! I thought that you had woken up from the conversation not long ago. Shangguan Yun looked at Zhou Zheng with a slight anger, but the latter still had an indifferent expression.

"Maybe you don't have this kind of experience, at least I don't think that the life and death of the Great Yan Dynasty have anything to do with me, and I don't care about any clan honor. I only care if I can use this opportunity to become stronger and revive the Zhou family. ”

"If you fall halfway and can't reach the peak, won't you still lose the face of the Zhou family?"

"Definitely. Zhou Zheng nodded approvingly.

"But I'm going to get to the top. After speaking, Zhou Zheng patted his chest confidently, and the moment he turned his head, he just stared at Wang Yan.

The two geniuses looked at each other and smiled, as if they could read each other's thoughts with one look.
