C18 [new Ability: Wind Speaker]

After practicing with Zhou Jielin, Zhang Ping had gained a lot.

When the class ended, Zhang Ping found that Wang Jieming was already covered in bruises.

It could be seen that the adventurer who was practicing with Wang Jieming had a bad temper.

However, this was very normal.

The other party had paid a high tuition fee to come here to learn, in order to leave Pearl City with a chance of survival in the future.

Who wouldn't want to practice with a genius and improve together?

Meeting a partner like Wang Jieming, it would be strange if he didn't get angry.

Zhang Ping and Zhou Jielin got along well because Zhang Ping's Ape King Style was higher than Zhou Jielin's, and there were many things that Zhou Jielin could learn from him.

Therefore, Zhou Jielin was willing to teach some basic knowledge that even veteran adventurers would know to Zhang Ping.

What everyone was most unwilling to was to meet a partner who could not improve themselves, or even become a partner to train with.

"Are you alright?" Zhang Ping looked at Wang Jieming and asked.

Wang Jieming shook his head slightly, then forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, but I haven't learned much. I don't know if I can learn it in five days."

He originally thought that there would be a lesson today.

However, from the beginning to the end, Bai De didn't have the interest to teach again. He just went up to correct some mistakes of the apprentices when they were practicing.

Most importantly, Bai De didn't teach Wang Jieming again.

This was like some of the teachers in Zhang Ping's previous life. They only paid attention to the students who were good, and ignored the students who were bad. They completely ignored this part of the students.

If this situation continued for the next few days, Wang Jieming would definitely not be able to learn the Ape King Style.

Zhang Ping thought for a moment and asked, "Are you free at noon?"

"Midday? Yes, yes." Wang Jieming was stunned for a moment before replying.

Zhang Ping invited him, "Then you can come and find me. Do you know Iron Soul? You can come to Iron Soul. I will teach you the Ape King Style. However, whether you can learn it or not will depend on yourself."

"Iron Soul? I've never heard of it before, but I can go and find it when the time comes." Wang Jieming immediately said.

Zhang Ping nodded and said, "Mn, then come and find me tomorrow."

Iron Soul and Wang Jieming's residence was just across the street, so it wasn't hard to find.

After saying their goodbyes, the two of them went back together.

The next day.

At noon, Zhang Ping and Liu Tiefeng were having lunch when Wang Jieming came looking for them.

When Liu Tiefeng went back to the second floor to take a nap, Zhang Ping began to teach Wang Jieming. Wang Jieming's learning ability was very poor, so Zhang Ping simply divided the Ape King Style into a few small movements and taught them one movement at a time. In the end, he realized that he still couldn't learn it, so he simply let him do nothing for an hour and focused on practicing one of the movements.

He realized that this teaching method was actually useful. At least after an hour, Wang Jieming really learned one of the movements.

"Not bad. Next movement, do it once for me and then do it with you." Zhang Ping saw that Wang Jieming had already learned the first movement and said with a smile.

Wang Jieming first went home for dinner and agreed to go to the dojo together at night.

Most of the dojos would start lessons at eight o'clock and end at eleven o'clock. Although there were dojos that started lessons at six o'clock and ended at ten o'clock, the Beast Dojo started lessons at the former.

Although the Beast Dojo's teaching time was one hour less, the fee was more expensive.

Zhang Ping had never experienced the lessons of other dojos, so he was not sure about the teaching standards of other dojos. But at least Bai De's teaching standards were not bad. Other than Wang Jieming, most of the apprentices could quickly learn the basics.

In the next two days, there was basically no major incident.

The Cleaning Team became more careful in their operation against the Sky Fox. At least Zhang Ping only found one less Sky Fox, and he was not sure if the Sky Fox was killed or if he had gone somewhere else.

He did not ask Liu Sishan, but just identified the new Sky Fox to the other party as usual. He also reexamined the Sky Fox that he had identified before, but he did not find anything.

This made him not sure if it was a trap set by the Sky Fox or an accident.

It was the weekend.

Pearl City did not have a weekend, but it usually had a weekend.

The Beast Dojo also had a weekend, so the students did not need to go to the dojo to attend classes.

In the morning, Zhang Ping did not go to the dojo. Instead, he tried to forge the Pearl Blade again. This time, he successfully forged a qualified Pearl Blade. At least he felt that it should have succeeded.

Holding the Pearl Blade, he walked to Liu Tiefeng, who was smoking, and asked, "Grandpa Liu, is this considered a success?"

"Ah? What did you say? Where's Dashan?" Liu Tiefeng raised his head and asked with a confused expression.

Zhang Ping was stunned for a moment before he looked up at the door. After a long while, Chiu Qiang finally appeared with a big bag on his back.

"Brother Zhang Ping, I'm back," Chiu Qiang said with a smile.

Then, he put down the bag on the counter and sat down beside Liu Tiefeng. He said to himself, "Damn it, I almost died this time. I don't know what the hell happened. There were so few wild beasts and catabolic beasts outside. We had to go deep into the forest in the north. In the end, we actually encountered a pack of wolves. And they were all catabolic beasts."

"Then, are you alright, Uncle Qiang?" Zhang Ping looked at Chiu Qiang, but he didn't notice any obvious wounds.

Chiu Qiang gritted his teeth and lifted his sleeves. There were a few hideous wounds on his arm. He sneered, "The wolves bit us so hard that we couldn't let them go. I had no choice but to let the others leave first. I stayed behind to cover the retreat."

"When we encounter wolves, especially catabolic beasts, we must not be surrounded by them. Otherwise, we will be done for."

"I fought and retreated. I encountered a group of barbarians in the forest. I was hit by a wind blade the moment I met them. It almost cut my waist. Luckily, I had a one-time use Earthshaking Shovel. At that time, I didn't care about the pain. I had no choice but to use it.

"Coincidentally, the wolves couldn't find any prey, so they attacked the barbarians. I took advantage of the situation. In the end, not only did I retreat safely, I even got something good."

As he spoke, he took out a green gemstone.

"Isn't this a wind gemstone?"

Zhang Ping looked at the gemstone and said in surprise.

The wind gemstone was not a real gemstone.

It was a type of extremely rare and rare crystal.

Almost all the catabolic beasts that contained wind element energy could form a wind gemstone in their bodies. Some Awakened who had wind element talent could even form a similar gemstone in their bodies.

The wind gemstone could be used to store wind element energy. Through the mental guidance method, it could release the wind element energy within the wind gemstone and form wind blades, storms, and other attacks.

In fact, other elements also had corresponding elemental gemstones.

For example, there was a high possibility that there was a water gemstone in Liu Sishan's body. Because her advancement talent was energy compression, it was the easiest talent to form elemental gemstones.

However, having elemental gemstones in one's body did not mean that one could easily take them out.

Generally, after the death of a catabolic beast or Awakened, the elemental gemstone would dissipate along with the element. There was only a very small probability of it remaining.

As the elemental gemstone was equivalent to having more abilities, it had always been priceless in Pearl City. It was a super rare equipment that could not be bought.

"I've dug this out from one of the barbarian weapons. It's also considered a revenge." Chiu Qiang said proudly.

As he spoke, he handed the wind gemstone to Zhang Ping and said generously, "Come, try it. This thing is really rare. There are a lot of fake ones in the city. It's best not to casually take it if you have never seen a real one before. It's easy to be tricked."

Zhang Ping carefully received the Wind Gemstone.

Part of his knowledge of the Elemental Gemstone came from the school, and the other part came from Liu Tiefeng's teachings.

However, even the Iron Soul did not have the Wind Gemstone. There were only some fakes that he had collected.

As soon as the gemstone entered his hand.

Zhang Ping felt a chill in his palm.

When he carefully sensed it, he realized that the Wind Gemstone was emitting a weak wind.

The wind was extremely weak, as if his hand was touching the water surface. He could faintly feel a trace of coolness.

"The wind element energy cannot be seen in the body of a living being. Once it is released from the body, it will evolve into wind. Only in the Elemental Gemstone can you see the energy form. Look carefully at the center of the gemstone. Isn't there a ball of milky white energy? That is the wind element energy." Chiu Qiang went up and explained seriously.

Zhang Ping nodded. He did see the milky white energy.

"This thing is very particular about the feeling of the touch and the eyesight. Once you see it, you can distinguish it from the fake. Remember this feeling at this moment so that you won't be mistaken in the future." Chiu Qiang smiled.

Zhang Ping replied and closed his eyes to carefully feel the touch, hardness, and temperature of the wind element gem.

Suddenly, he heard a 'pop'.

Then, there was a noise, like the sound of a television being unable to receive signal in the past, turning into a static screen.

In a moment, he heard the voices of many men and women.

His eyes widened slightly as he immediately used the appraisal on himself.

Appraisal Success

Summoned Beast: Zhang Ping

Host: Zhang Ping

Race: Human

Potential: 2 stars

Lifespan: 89

Level: Elementary Awakened

Level: 3

Talent

Contract Gem: Can consume physical strength and spiritual energy to condense a Contract Gem. Once the target accepts the Contract Gem, the target's life, soul, and consciousness will be controlled by the summoner. At the same time, the summoner will also obtain the summoner's potential and luck. After consuming the first time, the summoner will have a slight increase in his own potential and have a 1% chance of awakening a new talent. Note: The talent that summoner Zhang Ping has obtained from overdrawing his intelligence, potential, and luck is very powerful, but it also has a certain kind of huge flaw. Being too ambitious is not a good thing.

Absolute Command: You have absolute authority over the summoned beast. Your orders will not be able to go against the summoned beast's orders.

Absolute Submission: You will absolutely obey the summoner's orders. You will be loyal to the summoner's orders.

Strategic Appraisal Technique: Can be used to appraise the target. There is a small probability of obtaining the target's information. The smaller the difference in strength between the two sides, the higher the probability of obtaining the information. The success rate of the first appraisal will greatly increase after the same target is successfully appraised. Note: The talent that is born from the desire of the summoned beast and summoner Zhang Ping to learn."

Night Walker: Obtain night vision, and the presence of the night will greatly decrease. Movement speed will be greatly increased, and the weight will decrease. You will be completely invisible in the shadows.

Fire-Eater: Able to consume flames to recover stamina, and convert excess flames into fire element energy to store in the body. After releasing energy, it will temporarily gain the effect of being wrapped in flames, until the fire element energy is completely exhausted.

This ability will gradually increase the user's resistance to high temperature.

Note: After all, potential is only potential. Only by using it to produce strength is it true strength.

Wind Speaker: The wind will bring you all kinds of information, whether you want to know or not.

Note: There is no wall in the world that is impenetrable, and there is no secret that the wind does not know.

...

It was indeed a new talent.

Zhang Ping thought to himself, and even wanted to curse. Was the probability of awakening a new talent really one percent?

However, the Wind Speaker was a passive skill, and he could not control whether to activate or to close it. In other words, he could only passively accept the information that the Wind Speaker brought him.
