Chapter 44: Identifying Identity
When Elder Wang Shan returned to his mansion, Zhou Ming was already waiting at the door. I saw him holding a boiled bamboo shoot in his hand and gnawing on it, sitting on the steps in front of Elder Wang Shan's mansion, shaking his legs while looking around.
"Huh~!" A sound of breaking wind came, Zhou Ming chewed his mouth and raised his head, just in time to see Elder Wang flying from the imperial sword in the distance. So he quickly swallowed the bamboo shoots in his mouth, put the remaining half of the bamboo shoots into the ring, and stood up.
"Elder Wang, it's morning!" Zhou Ming seemed to be in a good mood.
"Well, Zhou Ming! Come here so early, it's okay, you come with me!" After Elder Wang Shan landed, he pushed the door and walked into the mansion compound, and Zhou Ming followed behind him.
Unexpectedly, Elder Wang did not take Zhou Ming to the main hall, but passed through the main hall, and then continued to walk towards the depths in a twist and turn. Zhou Ming, who was originally smiling, began to become serious, and a look of vigilance appeared on his face. "What does this old man want to do? Take me to such a remote place as his house! No, I have to be ready to defend and counterattack at any time!" Zhou Ming became more and more frightened as he walked, and the more he walked, the more nervous he became.
Ten minutes passed in horror. Suddenly, Wang Shan, who was walking in front, stopped and turned to look at Zhou Ming. Zhou Ming instantly took a step back and put on a posture as if he was facing a great enemy.
"Boy, what are you doing? We're here!" Elder Wang glanced at Zhou Ming, who was acting strangely, and then opened a door in front of him. Walked in.
"What are you doing in a daze, come in!" Elder Wang shouted when he went in and found that Zhou Ming had not come in.
"Huh, did I misunderstand! He didn't want to do anything to me at all? Alas, was I really too worried?" Zhou Ming walked in with some doubts, and his previous vigilance against Elder Wang slowly relaxed.
"Huh~!" Seeing a sword qi suddenly attack, Zhou Ming reacted instantly, and hurriedly resorted to "cold pursuit", the white light afterimage flashed, and Zhou Ming also left his original position in an instant.
Looking at the crack in the ground where he was originally standing, Zhou Ming broke out in a cold sweat. Then he looked vigilantly at Elder Wang Shan, who was holding a sword in front of him.
"Well, yes, yes, did you use this trick to knock Zhang Tao down yesterday? Boy, you can't hide it! I'm afraid your strength is more than one order!" Elder Wang's subsequent words made Zhou Ming let go of some kind of vigilance, and at the same time, another kind of vigilance rose. It seems that he still can't hide this essence, and if he lives for a few more decades, it's different!
"Elder Wang! The kid is indeed more than a first-order level. But I have no malice in joining your Immortal Sect, and I ask Elder Wang to understand!" Zhou Ming explained half-truthfully, half-truthfully, half-falsely, to see what the other party said, and how much he could conceal.
Elder Wang withdrew the long sword in his hand from its scabbard, first hinting at Zhou Ming in his actions that he was also not malicious. Then he spoke: "From your two incidents yesterday and your attitude towards Xiao Qi, I can see that you are not malicious, in fact, you could have hidden your strength, but because of a strange boy who had just met, he did not hesitate to protect him, which also proves that you are not a villain." "It seems that this Elder Wang has been secretly observing him since the first incident yesterday.
After Zhou Ming heard this, his heart was slightly calm. "It seems that this old man has long known that I am not a person with bad intentions, so why did you give me such a sudden time today, everyone thinks that it is not good that they don't know anything!"
Seeing that Zhou Ming didn't speak, Elder Wang didn't hide his purpose, and continued to speak: "Actually, I didn't plan to test your true strength today yesterday, since you have no intention of doing evil to my faction, I can naturally treat it as if I don't know, and be happy." However, the boss said something to us this morning that reminded me of you. So, I want to discuss something with you. ”
"What's the matter?" Zhou Ming was also a little curious, and immediately asked.
"That's a long story!"
"Let's make a long story short!"
“...... Yes, you are an outsider, you may not know, the island where we are located belongs to an island group, called the Liuli Islands, and each island of the Liuli Islands has sects, which are divided into three major factions and twenty-six small factions. Elder Wang said, and was interrupted by Zhou Ming here, "I know this, Changfeng, they told me that your sect is ranked last, because every time the big competition of the Liuli Islands loses miserably, so you have to hand over a lot of cultivation resources to the three major factions." ”
Elder Wang was sweating at Zhou Ming's words, and thought to himself, "Why is this Changfeng kid's heart so big? Why do you say everything! This is really inexplicably embarrassing!"
Zhou Ming was very happy to see the embarrassed appearance of this old man, and suddenly realized as he spoke, "Damn! You don't want me to represent your outer gate to participate in this big competition on Liuli Island!"
"Haha, boy, you're really smart!" said Elder Wang.
"Smart your sister, I'm not going!" Zhou Ming refused, as long as he competed, he would meet a master later, and then he would be forced to use energy points, from the current point of view, the energy points can be used a little less, what if it is not enough to go to the mainland in the future?
"Hey~!Little brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse! There are a lot of valuable prizes to get a good ranking! Besides, my requirements are not high, as long as it is not the top five! "Elder Wang is worthy of being a person who has lived for almost a hundred years, and he knows how to start from the side of interests.
Not to mention, if you really move Zhou Ming, the bottom five, you may not be able to use energy points, just the soul of the "Holy Lance Ranger" on your body can do it! It's a big deal that you can't get the top few rewards, but there is a subsidy from Elder Wang! So he asked, "What kind of subsidy?" Let's make it clear. Maybe I can think about it!"
"It's easy to talk about subsidies, but let me ask first, what kind of strength do you have?"
"I'm rubbing, you're still worried about my strength! Don't worry, it's no problem for me to be in the top ten, let alone the fifth-to-last!" Zhou Ming said confidently.
"Front~~Front~Front~Top ten?That's a third-order strength! I can't see it! Your kid is not very old and is as powerful as me!" "Elder Wang still believes in Zhou Ming, just from being able to easily dodge his sneak attack before, it can prove that Zhou Ming's strength is indeed good, but at that time, he still thought that Zhou Ming was only at the level of the middle and upper level of the second order.
Elder Wang was very happy, and hurriedly approached Zhou Ming, patted Zhou Ming's shoulder enthusiastically, and said, "As long as you agree to represent our Outer Gate and represent our Leaving Immortal Sect to participate in this competition this time, I have the exercise cheats, heavenly and earth treasures, elixirs, and energy crystals here to choose from! Of course, the higher the ranking, the more you will get!" Elder Wang was a red-faced introducer, and he could give Zhou Ming a subsidy.
"Energy Crystal! I need this thing by relying on the spaceship! I didn't expect this old guy to have it, it seems that I have to promise him!" Zhou Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the last item that Elder Wang Shan said. This scene was also seen by Elder Wang. Knowing that this thing is eighty percent done, this kid must have taken a fancy to a certain subsidy reward he proposed.
(The answer to one of the questions I'm offering for today can be found in this chapter, but I probably didn't ask clearly, and many readers didn't answer the point.) What I want to ask is that Senior Brother Zhang was instantly knocked out after Zhou Ming used any skills. )
