After Shi Ling heard this, he was overjoyed. His footsteps also sped up involuntarily. Then, at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, "Shi Ling, wait a moment."
Shi Ling turned around to look at the source of the sound and found it was Loong Yang. He didn't know why the guy didn't sleep in the middle of the night to find him.
Loong Yang ran in front of Shi Ling and said, "I was wondering why you weren't in your room. You came here."
Shi Ling asked, "What's wrong?"
Loong Yang directly held Shi Ling's hand and walked in a certain direction while saying: "It's people from Jinluo Hall. They want to see you."
Shi Ling frowned, and as he walked along with Loong Yang, he asked: "The Jinluo Hall people? What are they looking for me for? "
Loong Yang shrugged and said, "Who knows?"
With that, Loong Yang brought Shi Ling to an immortal residence. This place was not a cave but a real mansion. Only after becoming an inner disciple could one enjoy such privileges.
As Shi Ling looked around, he saw Loong Yang leading him to a pavilion, and inside the pavilion sat two people. One of them was Lu Xuan, whom Shi Ling recognized, and who had helped him before when he had faced Zhang Yusheng's challenge. As for the old man beside Lu Xuan, Shi Ling had never seen him, so he guessed that he must be someone from Jinluo Hall.
Loong Yang came to the pavilion. When Lu Xuan saw that Shi Ling had arrived, he hurriedly stood up from his seat. When he came to Shi Ling later, he smiled and said, "Junior Brother Shi Ling is really busy. He can't find you all day long."
Shi Ling smiled and said, "No, I just went to watch a competition and stayed there for a while. I just came back. Um, why did Brother Lu Xuan call me here?"
At this moment, Lu Xuan put a hand on Shi Ling's shoulder and led him into the pavilion. He said, "It's nothing, my father knew that I had a friend who had a very high cultivation level, so he sent someone to take a look."
Saying that, Lu Xuan faced the old man sitting upright and said: "Uncle Hao, this is Junior Brother Shi Ling that I mentioned to you before. Don't judge him by his young age or low cultivation, his brute force is quite strong."
Wu Hao looked at Shi Ling, his body shape was considered strong, his face was pretty clear, his clothes were simple, obviously he was just an ordinary service disciple, without any background, Wu Hao raised his wine cup, took a sip, and said: "I am Jinluo Hall Supervisor Wu Hao."
Shi Ling's pupils shrank when he heard that. He quickly cupped his fist and bowed towards Wu Hao and said, "Servant disciple Shi Ling greets Lord Supervisor."
Shi Ling's expression was clearly a little dazed. For the sake of such a small errand girl like him, his Jinluo Hall had actually called for a supervisor to come over. Motherf * cker, didn't they think too highly of him? It had to be known that a supervisor was a group of inner disciples who was directly under their control, so he himself was nothing in front of them.
At the same time, he didn't forget to look at Lu Xuan beside him. If Wu Hao was sent by his father, then what position did his father hold? Above them were the sect elders. This meant that Lu Xuan's father was at least a hall master or hall master level character, and the other party had walked out from the Jinluo Hall. In that case, Lu Xuan's father was very likely to be the Hall Master of the Jinluo Hall!
Thinking about this, Shi Ling's forehead broke out in a cold sweat. Thinking back to when Zhang Yusheng was making things difficult for him and didn't dare to have a presumptuous expression after seeing Lu Xuan, this was probably the only reason.
At this time, Wu Hao didn't put on any airs and waved at Shi Ling, indicating him to sit down and talk. Shi Ling immediately sat down at the stone table with Lu Xuan and Loong Yang, and suddenly heard the old man say to Lu Xuan: "I'm not going to beat around the bush, I want to test Shi Ling's body strength, Third Young Master has no objections right?"
Lu Xuan dared not object. He immediately turned to Shi Ling and said, "If Junior Brother Shi Ling is willing, then I have no objections."
Wu Hao's gaze shifted to Shi Ling. When Shi Ling heard the other party address Lu Xuan as the Third Young Master, he knew he guessed right. He cleared his throat and said, "We are willing to listen to the instructions of Lord Supervisor."
Wu Hao nodded and clapped his hands. Then, he saw a group of burly men enter the pavilion. Each of them had knotted muscles and veins that bulged out from their bodies. Although there were no mana fluctuations, they gave people an inexplicable pressure.
Wu Hao took out a golden rope from his Storage Ring and threw it to a burly man. Then, he said to Shi Ling: "You go and fight with them."
Shi Ling exclaimed and glanced at the men. His mouth twitched. Although Shi Ling was confident that his physical strength was not weak, it would be hard for him to face so many men at the same time.
Wu Hao said, "Let's spar with one person first, then increase."
After Shi Ling understood, he nodded and smiled: "Alright, I understand."
Shi Ling stood up as he spoke, while Liu Tie's eyelids twitched as he looked at the big men. Shi Ling stood up as he looked at the big men, and when Shi Ling looked at Shi Ling, Shi Ling stood up, Liu Tie's eyelids twitched as he looked at the big men.
Shi Ling didn't have anything to say. After walking out of the pavilion, he stood in confrontation with one of the big man and saw that man throw the end of the rope in his hand towards Shi Ling. Shi Ling grabbed the end of the rope and another big man drew a line between the two of them.
When Lu Xuan saw the two of them ready to go, he was a bit unsure. At this moment, he heard Wu Hao say: "Begin!"
However, he stomped his feet on the ground forcefully, causing Shi Ling's side to be shocked at first, and then, he was almost pulled away by him. He silently cursed in his heart that the strength of the body of a person with Jinluo Hall was indeed not to be underestimated, and with a stomp on the ground, he quickly stabilized himself.
After that, the power of five raging bulls burst forth, pulling the big man towards them.
When the match ended, it was only for a moment. When Wu Hao saw this, there was no joy nor worry on his face. He waved his hand again and three people went up. This time, it was three more people.
Wu Hao took out a pill and threw it to Shi Ling. He said: "Eat this. After you recover, try it out with these three."
After Shi Ling received the pill, he didn't eat it. Instead, he put it into the Heart Ring and said: "I'm not too tired right now. Let's eat after taking care of these three people."
Hearing this, Wu Hao laughed and said, "You have a lot of confidence, but let's see if you have the ability to take these three down." Although he appeared a little angry on the surface, there was a hint of praise within his eyes.
Wu Hao really liked the calm temperament of Shi Ling and the confidence that came from the inside. He just didn't know if that confidence was compatible with it.
Shi Ling raised his chin towards the three people in front of him as he held the rope with both hands. This action of his was not arrogant at all. However, Wu Hao said: "Let's begin!"
Suddenly, the three burly men released their strength at the same time. Their terrifying power could even pull an elephant backwards, but Shi Ling didn't panic. He pulled them backwards bit by bit. Not long after, the three of them were pulled out of the line.
When Wu Hao saw this scene, his eyes lit up. No one knew better than him what three men meant: one of them was equal to the strength of a Barbaric Cow and the other three together were equivalent to the strength of three raging bulls. However, what did Shi Ling defeating the three men so easily just now mean? This showed that Shi Ling's physical strength had far surpassed the strength of three raging bulls.
When the Jinluo Hall's physical strength reached the strength of three raging bulls in a row, not many people like Shi Ling, who was only seventeen years old, were able to reach the peak of the Spirit Accumulation Realm. At the very least, only Wu Hao himself had not seen anyone whose strength could surpass the strength of three raging bulls at the age of seventeen.
Although he was excited, there was no change in Wu Hao's expression. He waved his hand again and switched with five other people. He was curious as to how much power Shi Ling could actually have.
At this time, Shi Ling picked up the pill Wu Hao gave him and put it in his mouth. He started to recover his strength. This time, facing the five men, he didn't dare to underestimate them.
Very soon, after Shi Ling recovered, he stood back up. This time around, facing the five big men, he felt that he really was under a lot of pressure.
At that moment, both sides had made their preparations. Wu Hao said, "Begin!"
After saying that, Shi Ling exerted all his strength, wanting to pull the other party over in one breath. At the same time, the five opponents also used all of their strength, the rope in the middle instantly tightened.
Wu Hao, Lu Xuan, and Liu Tie all looked over from inside the pavilion. Liu Tie looked at the scene in front of him in a daze. He was wondering when Shi Ling's physical strength had increased so much.
Immediately, he started to hold his breath, and looked straight at Shi Ling. Shi Ling felt like he was pulling a mountain, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move it at all, and the other five people felt the same way.
The man at the front of the five people exerted more force on his muscles. With a loud roar, he stomped on the ground, causing the ground to cave in. In the next moment, the remaining four people did the same.
After that, Shi Ling started to be pulled over bit by bit. Lu Xuan's and Wu Hao's eyes started to widen as they wondered if Shi Ling had already reached his limit.
However, he didn't. At this moment, Shi Ling couldn't help but recall what Grandma Xuan Mei said when she took Chen Lu away: "She will stand at the top of this sect in the future. I don't want her to be tied down because of your matter.
As Shi Ling thought of this, the anger in his heart suddenly soared. Then, he suddenly exerted force with both of his hands. The terrifying force was like that of a primordial fierce beast from the ancient times.
Shi Ling leaned back with all his strength and growled. His muscles also felt painful and bit by bit, he pulled the five men over.
Lu Xuan and Wu Hao stood up at this moment, while Loong Yang looked at everything in a daze. As they watched Shi Ling slowly pull away the five men, the shock in their hearts was indescribable.
When the five of them were about to cross the line, they suddenly heard a light bang and were sent flying. Shi Ling and the five men also flew out at the same time.
Lu Xuan and Loong Yang suddenly arrived behind Shi Ling to help him reduce the force of Shi Ling's retreat and avoid the impact. As for the five men, they were much better and directly fell on the ground without suffering much damage.
At this moment, Shi Ling's head was covered in sweat. He looked at Lu Xuan and Loong Yang beside him and thanked them.
Then, a clear laugh came out. Wu Hao walked towards Shi Ling with his hands behind his back and smiled: "Not bad, to be able to reach the strength of five raging bulls at such a young age, it is not in vain for me to come personally."
At this time, Shi Ling cupped his fist towards Wu Hao and said: "My lord, you are exaggerating."
Wu Hao, at this time, took out an order badge from his bosom and handed it over to Shi Ling: "I heard that you are going to participate in the test tomorrow, so I hope that after you enter the outer sect, you can come to my Jinluo Hall. Trust me, you won't regret it."
Shi Ling took the token and looked at it. It was completely gold, which was obviously pure gold, and there was the word "Gold" engraved on it. Wu Hao patted Shi Ling's shoulder and said: "Okay, I won't stay here any longer, you think about it carefully."
After saying that, he strode out of the door. At this moment, Lu Xuan put a hand on Shi Ling's shoulder and smiled, "Junior Brother Shi Ling can do it. I didn't expect his physical strength to increase by so much after a month."
Shi Ling laughed dryly and said, "No, no."
Loong Yang walked over. He took the token from Shi Ling and looked it up and down before saying, "What is the use of this thing?"
Shi Ling shook his head and said, "How would I know?"
Lu Xuan smiled as he continued, "Within the Spirit Sword Sect, all Jinluo Hall disciples must carry out the orders of this command medallion."
Shi Ling couldn't help but open his eyes wide as he heard what was said and exclaimed: "All the Jinluo Hall disciples?"
Lu Xuan smiled and nodded. Shi Ling took the token back from Loong Yang, causing Loong Yang to roll his eyes.
After that, Shi Ling and Lu Xuan exchanged some pleasantries and then left his mansion together, walking towards the outside.
As he was walking with Loong Yang, Loong Yang suddenly asked, "Shi Ling, do you know what happened at the Fierce Tooth Mountain not long ago?"
Shi Ling was confused by Loong Yang's sudden question. He turned his head to look at him and asked, "What is it?"
Loong Yang said: "I heard that not long ago, many experts from Zhang Family were eaten by Demonic Beast when they went on missions at the Fangs Mountain, and even Yan Wuping died there. I remember that not long ago, when you went out on missions, you also went to the Fangs Mountain, so I came to ask you."
When these words were spoken, Shi Ling's gaze flickered. He didn't know if he should tell Loong Yang about this matter. After a slight hesitation, he said, "I'm not very clear about this." It wasn't that Shi Ling didn't believe Loong Yang, but there were some things that shouldn't be known by others. Besides, it wouldn't be good for him to involve Loong Yang, so Shi Ling wanted to hide it from him.
At this time, Loong Yang did not say anything, and only hesitated for a moment before saying: "I heard that he was also involved in Qiu Family."
Shi Ling pretended to be surprised and said: "That can't be, right? What kind of mission would require us to work together with Zhang Family?"
Loong Yang scratched his head and said: "I don't know either, but it's said that those who carried out that mission all died, and not even their corpses could be found. Only the person surnamed Qiu did not die, as if he was saved by a stroke of luck, and was now sent to the Qiu Family Palace. It's a pity that he can't remember anything after he lost his memories."
When Shi Ling heard this, he looked at Loong Yang with eyes full of shock. He whispered in his heart, "Qiu Daozhuo is not dead!"
