1010 Sheer Cold (1/2)
”Hmph, you don't need to know!”
Ling Xian'er snorted. But with her looks, even her slightly angry face was overwhelmingly beautiful. If the former handsome dandy saw it, his eyes would have certainly lit up, and he would have been unable to control himself.
”Okay… let's go back!”
Fang Yuan's eyes narrowed and glanced toward the nearby bushes before leaving the scene with his two subordinates.
With eyes full of hatred, Wang Tianming looked at the direction that Fang Yuan had left in. He then cupped his hands toward Ling Xian'er. ”My name is Wang Tianming. Thank you for saving me, miss. I will surely repay your kindness in the future!”
”You are also a fellow Pugilistic World member, so there's no need for thanks. However, do you really plan on seeking revenge against this Fang Xu three years from now? He is not only the young sect master of the Noble Mountain Sect but a famous genius in the Pugilistic World as well!”
Ling Xian'er sized up Wang Tianming curiously. ”With all due respect… with your potential and cultivation, that will be extremely difficult!”
Wang Tianming trembled.
The Noble Mountain Sect was a first-class sect with countless experts. The sect master, 'Fang Tianhan,' was at Connate perfection and rank forty-nine on the Martial Roll!
Fang Xu reached where he was today with his father's personal teaching, the martial arts of the Noble Mountain Sect, countless magical pills, and his own outstanding talent.
Wang Tianming was behind in every respect, and it would be incredibly difficult for him to catch up.
”Although it is extremely difficult, I must do it!” Wang Tianming clenched his fist. ”I will definitely catch up to his cultivation within three years!”
Although he had learned some martial arts, they were basic techniques taught to him by a traveling Daoist. Nevertheless, he made this declaration in a confident tone that was full of conviction and charisma.
”Hehe… this kind of reckless youngster is becoming rare these days!”
A silhouette flashed, and a middle-aged man in green robes appeared on the scene.
Three fluttering strands of beard decorated his elegant features. He had a scholarly temperament, looking like a village teacher.
”Daddy!” Ling Xian'er exclaimed and affectionately attached herself to his arm.
This man was none other than the Great River Alliance Leader, Ling Xian'er's father, Xuan Tianzi.
”Why didn't you come out earlier and teach that dandy a lesson?” Ling Xian'er pouted.
”His father and I are both experts on the Martial Roll, and it wouldn't be wise to start a conflict…” Xuan Tianzi smiled. However, he was still a little puzzled. ”That Fang Xu seemed to have sensed my presence before he left. How is that possible for someone on the Hidden Dragon Roll?”
The Martial Dao was popular in this world, and the 'Martial Roll' served to distinguish between the experts.
On the other hand, the Hidden Dragon Roll was for the new generation of young experts. Those on the roll could not exceed thirty years old, and the ones at the top of the roll were at most at the initial Connate realm.
With such a huge difference in power, it should not have been possible for him to sense anything!
”Greetings Alliance Leader!” Wang Tianming greeted respectfully.
”Good! Wang Tianming, is it?” Xuan Tianzi sized up Wang Tianming carefully. For some reason, he felt a sense of joy. ”Although you're a bit reckless, that's adorable as well. Would you like to join the Great River Alliance and become my in-name disciple?”
”Disciple is willing. Disciple pays respect to Master!” Wang Tianming knelt without any hesitation and gave Xuan Tianzi eight kowtows.
”Hmm… All right, you will return with us to the Great River Alliance… There's no need to visit this Noble Mountain Sect now!” Xuan Tianzi stroked his beard while feeling slightly shocked.
Even the Ling Xian'er at his side looked at him in astonishment. The stringency that Xuan Tianzi chose his disciples with was well-known.
However, she agreed with not going to the Noble Mountain Sect. ”That Fang Xu is so annoying. I don't want to have anything to do with him at all!”
”Not bad…”
With doting eyes, Xuan Tianzi looked at his daughter. ”That Fang Xu is truly not a good match. My Xian'er's ideal husband must excel in both martial arts and academics, and be a person of character… Of course, the most important thing is to catch Xian'er's eyes. Haha…”
…
Noble Mountain Sect.
”This world… is too real… Too real to find any flaws!”
Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes, observed everything carefully on the way back, and could not help feeling shocked. ”As expected of the Abominable Lord's arrangements… It almost made me think that he had obtained a world fragment from somewhere and merged it with the dream world… Wait! That's not out of the question!”
”Young Master!”
”Greetings, Eldest Senior Brother!”
He held an extraordinary position within the Noble Mountain Sect, and the disciples and deacons greeted him along the way.
”Mmmm!”
Following the dandy's memory, Fang Yuan walked with an arrogant swagger.
”I must have the power to protect myself if I want to explore this world!”
After returning to his room, he shut the door and ordered that no one was to disturb his seclusion training. He sat cross-legged on a meditation mat and began contemplating. ”The rules of this world are strict, and it only has the power of Martial Dao True Qi… Even I can't break through them. How strange.”
