Chapter 135 - A Friend’s Feelings Are More Important Than Becomi (2/2)

The two of them took countless detours on the mountain road.

They encountered various kinds of plants in the middle, but Mike chose to take a detour every time.

It would have taken him only half an hour to reach the top of the mountain, but it took him nearly three hours.

Along the way, Mike even logged off and quickly ate some food, and went to the toilet.

It could not be helped. The journey was too long.

When they reached the top of the mountain, the sky had gradually darkened.

The air at the top of the mountain was a little thin, and the temperature was a little low.

A gentle breath would make the lungs feel refreshed.

The environment here was indeed really good.

No wonder the Weapon Master chose to live here.

At the thought of this, Mike looked around and finally saw a small house made of stones beside a cliff not far away.

Without any hesitation, Mike immediately walked over with Stone.

When he got closer, Mike found that the house was much smaller than he had imagined.

Rather than calling it a house, it was more like a small, independent room.

Mike was a little confused.

‘Does the world’s strongest human live in such a place?’

He took two steps forward and wanted to knock on the door.

However, before he could knock, a voice came from the door.

“Who are you people?”

The voice gave off a unique sense of majesty.

It sounded very old, but also very healthy. It did not radiate a sense of declining strength caused by his old age.

More importantly…

This voice sounded more like a wise man who was filled with wisdom than a powerful expert.

Facing such an existence, Mike bowed respectfully and said,

“Hello, I am a human. I came to learn from you. I have brought a sheepskin scroll.”

Stone said on Mike’s shoulder,

“I’m a tree spirit. My name is Stone!”

The voices in the room paused for a moment and asked,

“When did you start going up the mountain?”

“About three hours ago,” Mike answered.

The old man smiled and asked in return,

“The road from the foot to the top of the mountain only takes half an hour. Why are you so slow?”

Mike answered honestly,

“The thorns blocked the path, so we had to take a detour.”

“Are you telling me that you don’t even have the ability to cut through the thorns, and you want to come and learn from me?”

The voice in the room suddenly became a little serious, sounding a little dissatisfied.

Mike’s heart sank.

It seemed that the other party felt that he was not worthy to be his disciple.

Experts were all arrogant. They would take whoever they wanted as their disciple.

If they did not like you, no matter how much you begged, it would be useless.

Mike helplessly weighed the pros and cons in his heart.

Compared to becoming his disciple, he cared more about Stone’s feelings.

Therefore, he did not explain whether his ability was strong or not. Instead, he said,

“Sorry, because those plants are also alive. We don’t want to hurt them, so we took a detour.”

After that, there was no reply for a long time.

Even Stone, who had always been simple-minded and optimistic, could not help but worry.

Would this old man, the legendary Weapon Master, refuse to teach Mike because of this?

However, to their surprise, the door of the room suddenly opened.

A long-haired old man in a white robe walked out of the room and said with a smile,

“Very well, you have passed my test.”
