Chapter 2: Successful apprenticeship

Most of the busy day passed in a blink of an eye, Shen Ling saw that it was not early and ran towards the giant wood forest, he knew what that nameless old man would mean to him if he didn't lie to him. The sense of loss in Shen Ling's eyes after he arrived was difficult to hide, but he was unwilling, so he simply didn't go to those giant trees today to hone his fists and feet. He had been standing there waiting for the old man for an hour, perhaps a little longer. The old man walked slowly from the depths of the giant woods, and the old man looked at Shen Ling: "Say, boy, the old man doesn't want to owe favors to everyone, what he promised you will be fulfilled, what do you want? Shen Ling thought about it for a quarter of an hour, and even the old man was impatient to wait, "Hey, I haven't thought about it yet" "I want the old gentleman to take me as an apprentice" Shen Ling said nervously. "What? This is not good, everything else is fine," said the old man. Shen Ling asked rhetorically: "But the predecessor said any wish yesterday" The old man suddenly frowned, and said: "To be honest, your kid is still good, and his qualifications are also superior, but the old man has never accepted a disciple in his life." This.. Anyway, I have a thing here, called Tongyun Ladder, a hundred feet high, if you can reach the top, I will take you as a disciple!"

Shen Ling was overjoyed: "Dare to ask the senior's name?" The old man smiled: "Hehe, little guy, I'll tell you if you climb ninety zhang, otherwise you really don't deserve to know" Shen Ling heard it, and didn't say much: "Please show the spirit weapon to the seniors"

The old man laughed: "Everything is a treasure, refining the heaven and the earth"

After saying that, the palm of his hand gently waved a giant tree and broke off the roots, and then the old man threw out a handful of things that seemed to be dirt and not soil, like water and not water, and saw this thing shoot into the giant tree, and the giant tree shrank at a very fast speed with the naked eye, and the old man repeatedly made several seals, and between three or five breaths, a giant tree turned into a blue-green ladder more than eight feet high.

Shen Ling couldn't help but be stunned when he saw such a miraculous exercise, this was not at all the same concept as the martial arts he knew! It was precisely because of this that Shen Ling's determination to apprentice was strengthened. But.. Shen Ling asked: "Senior, this ladder is indeed extremely high, but it can't pass through the clouds, at most it is only seven or eight zhang high, how can I climb a hundred zhang?"

The old man glared at Shen Ling: "You kid, you will know if you climb up!" After that, he sat on the bluestone and closed his eyes to breathe. Shen Ling had no choice but to look at the top of the ladder and start climbing, thinking that this old man wouldn't be playing tricks on me. But when Shen Ling just climbed to about three zhang, he found that there seemed to be seven or eight zhang from the top?

Shen Ling already felt that something was wrong, because he had already climbed more than thirty zhang, but not only was he not nearly half an inch away from the top, but it seemed to be a little farther away... At first, it was opposite the Giant Tree Forest, but now it has surpassed the treetops of the tallest giant tree!

Shen Ling had no choice but to continue climbing, and then he had forgotten how many zhang he had climbed, maybe seventy zhang, maybe eighty zhang, he only knew that his physical strength didn't seem to be enough to support him to continue climbing. After another half an hour, Shen Ling found that his consciousness was beginning to blur, but he bit his tongue fiercely with his teeth, he knew that if he missed this master, he might be farther and farther away from the path of the strong. Shen Ling was now thinking in his heart that he wanted to reach a hundred zhang and get the recognition of that senior!

Gradually, Shen Ling found that there seemed to be more barbs on the handrails of the ladder gradually, which was fine at first, but slowly these barbs became harder and harder, more and more sharp, not at all like on the trees, more like gold and iron, the entire escalator was covered with barbs, Shen Ling's hands began to bleed, and fell drop by drop to the ground that was getting farther and farther away from him, and the sharp pain came one after another, like tearing the heart. Suddenly, the old man's voice came from his head: "Little guy, yes, if you come down now, the old man can give you a good exercise."

After listening to this, Shen Ling's originally slow pace suddenly accelerated, and he gritted his teeth and did not say a word under the pain that pierced his heart! The old man who was meditating with his eyes closed on the bluestone suddenly opened his eyes, if he had been soothing this young man before, then now he might have a trace of qualification to enter his eyes.

The second time the old man sent a message to Shen Ling was ten minutes later: "Good boy, I can really climb to ninety zhang, okay, listen up, the old man's name: The Ninth Venerable, everyone in the world calls me the Ninth Venerable."

After listening to this, the corners of Shen Ling's mouth raised the arc of his smile, and as soon as he climbed ninety-one zhang, he suddenly felt an extremely heavy coercion from above, this feeling was only felt on the patriarch during the annual clan meeting, but this feeling was not heavier than the patriarch's coercion, although it was not, it also made Shen Ling hunt in coarse cloth clothes.

But this obviously couldn't stop Shen Ling's determination, I saw him take a deep breath, resolutely go up, a few minutes later, an even worse piece of information was guessed by him, since then, every zhang of coercion has risen sharply, when Shen Ling climbed to ninety-eight zhang he realized that this may be his limit, the coercion of this place overwhelmed him, it is a problem to stay here, let alone ninety-nine zhang. But Shen Ling was unwilling, this step was very important, I saw that Shen Ling's eyes flashed and climbed up without hesitation, and gradually Shen Ling's body began to ooze traces of blood from his skin. didn't climb a few steps, and unconsciously the coercion here tore Shen Ling's upper body apart, and then saw that the blood was so seeping. But Jiuzun suddenly stood up at this time. I rubbed my eyes, for fear that I would see it wrong! This is a war pattern???

Just in the middle of the nine trances, Shen Ling looked up at the top, and he was in front of him, but his intuition seemed to tell him that if he took another step, the coercion would directly shock him, who had never practiced serious exercises, to death!

Shen Ling hesitated, and further may be the first step for him to become a strong man. If you take a step back, you will definitely not die, but are you willing to be mediocre and mediocre all your life?

After thinking about it, Shen Ling didn't hesitate in his eyes, although he knew that the chance of success at the moment was only one percent, he still took his left leg.

The powerful coercion that wanted to be in the middle did not come, and I saw a mysterious circular pattern on Shen Ling's chest disappear in a flash. Shen Ling suddenly felt a sense of comfort like a spring breeze, the previous pain and physical injuries were actually disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye! Shen Ling was greatly surprised, standing at a height of a hundred zhang looking at the small giant tree forest, looking at the mountains and rivers, and unconsciously his mood seemed to have improved.

"Boy, how long are you going to stay on it?" asked Jiuzun angrily. Shen Ling came to his senses as soon as he heard this, Jiuzun shook his hand and pointed at it, and the cloud ladder fell rapidly, Shen Ling was shocked, he must have fallen to death at such a height. When he was three feet off the ground, Shen Ling felt as if he was being held up by something, so he touched the ground steadily.

"Thank you, senior!" Shen Ling said respectfully. Jiuzun hurriedly interrupted what he was saying, and said, "Old man, ask you, who are you the War Emperor of the Hundred Battles Domain, and why are you in this Endless Continent?" Shen Ling was very surprised after hearing this, he had been growing up in the Li clan since he was picked up by his grandfather, and it was the first time he had even heard of the Endless Continent, so what was the Hundred Battles Domain. hurriedly explained: "Back to the seniors, the kid has been a servant of the Li clan since he was picked up by his grandfather at the age of three, and even the Li clan has never said it."

After hearing this, Jiuzun hesitated in his heart, he had been cultivating in the forest since he was chased and killed by the enemy three years ago. For three years, I just recovered a little bit of true qi and met this kid. To say that Shen Ling's perseverance is really superior, but the world is so big, there is no shortage of this generation, not to mention the qualifications of the bones! The Ninth Venerable is crisscrossing the continent, what kind of pride of the sky has not been seen? If he really accepted such a kid as a disciple, he would inevitably be ridiculed when he was seen by his old friends in the future! But the Picture and Text Nine Venerables who flashed on this little guy believed that he was not mistaken. Could it be that this kid really has something to do with the Emperor of War? But how could a person with such a deep war pattern appear in this little-known place? After thinking about it, he still hesitated, looked up at the clear-eyed, childish young man in front of him, and thought about it, it is also fate to meet in this small place, although this kid has been practicing martial arts for many years, but this mind is really good!

Shen Ling looked at Jiuzun and was silent for a long time, thinking that Jiuzun was going to regret it, and asked cautiously, "Senior?" "Still called senior? What, don't you want to apprentice?" Jiuzun said with a smile. "Master!"

"Haha, good apprentice, I didn't expect that my Ninth Venerable would be able to accept a beloved disciple after falling into trouble so far, and misfortune and blessing will lurk" The Nine Venerable laughed.

"Others apprentice to the master and bow three times and bow nine times, the master and apprentice return the salute, no matter what the deity is, good boy, from now on, you will be the apprentice of my ninth venerable, I think there are a few people in this endless continent who can bully you!" It seems that the wrinkles on the face have been reduced a lot.
