Under One Person: Please Call Me Golden Flash

Chapter 8: There really are fools who believe it.

"Why are you back so soon?"

Upon seeing Yuan Jingui, a hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes.

The one whom Yuan Jingui called "Old Wang" was naturally the Quanxing Elder he had just mentioned—Wang Yaozu, the Ghost Hand King.

"Hehe, didn't we just stumble upon a treasure on the road?"

Yuan Jingui chuckled and pointed to Zhao Zhen not far away in a low voice.

"Old Wang, that kid is Master Jin Guang's precious disciple."

"Old Duan's apprentice?" Wang Yaozu frowned.

"So the Venerable One's surname is Duan?" Yuan Jingui muttered to himself.

"Xiao Yuan, what are you trying to do? That old man has warned us more than once not to let our group have any contact with his precious apprentice."

"You dared to bring this kid here? Are you out of your mind?"

Wang Yaozu hadn't understood Duan Chuan's thoughts before, but after he also took Li Muxuan as his disciple, he could only say that his old friend had been farsighted!

Even though Li Muxuan is only learning from him now and not becoming his master, he doesn't want Li Muxuan to have too much contact with these guys.

It is precisely because we are both members of the Quanxing that we are more aware of the consequences of dealing with these people for a long time.

"Old Wang, you're wronging me. I didn't lure him here; the boy wanted to come on his own."

As he spoke, Yuan Jingui recounted to Wang Yaozu the events that had transpired since meeting Zhao Zhen in the past few days.

After hearing Yuan Jingui's words, a look of disdain flashed in Wang Yaozu's eyes.

"You mean, you two were trying to catch a kid, but not only did you fail, you also got shot?"

"Old Wang, don't underestimate that kid. He's quite formidable!"
Not only did he learn the Master's Golden Escape Technique, but his footwork is absolutely incredible. Even if Old Wen and I were tied together, we couldn't catch up with this kid.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yaozu looked at Zhao Zhen with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Beside him, the still young Li Muxuan also looked at Zhao Zhen, who was gradually approaching.

"Zhao Zhen greets Elder Wang."

Zhao Zhen clasped his hands in a fist salute to Wang Yaozu.

"You're really Old Duan's apprentice? You don't seem like it..."

Wang Yaozu narrowed his eyes. The child in front of him named Zhao Zhen did not resemble an orphan who had lost both parents at a young age at all.

His polite and courteous manners make him seem more like a child from a prestigious family who has received a good education since childhood.

"Oh, how is it different?" Zhao Zhen smiled slightly.

"Charisma? That old man travels all over the country all day, how could he possibly teach a disciple with such charisma as you? I find it hard to believe."

"Whether Old Wang believes it or not, it's true that all my skills were passed down to me by the old man."

As he spoke, Zhao Zhen took out a Golden Light Talisman from his pocket.

"This talisman... it seems you really are that old man's disciple. I never expected that the precious disciple that old man kept hidden for nearly ten years was actually you."

But didn't that old man tell you what to do when you encounter goods like us?

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yaozu's aura suddenly changed. The next instant, Zhao Zhen suddenly leaped into the air without warning, his body as light as a leaf, and with a few backflips, he created a distance of several meters between himself and Wang Yaozu.

"Ok?"

Wang Yaozu frowned. He never expected that Zhao Zhen could actually dodge the force field formed by his reversed eight directions.

Did he already know about his abilities from Lao Duan, or was it simply based on intuition and reaction?

“I told him that the old man told me to avoid dealing with anyone who claims to be from Quanxing.”

Although he appeared calm on the surface, Zhao Zhen was actually covered in cold sweat.

"Thank goodness. If I hadn't known about Wang Yaozu's 'Reversal of Directions' beforehand, I probably would have fallen for it without even realizing it."

The methods of extraordinary people are varied and unpredictable. If you don't have enough experience in the martial arts world, you might be killed by invisible and intangible techniques like "reversing the eight directions" if you're not careful!

Moreover, there are assassinations from the Tang Clan and the unorthodox and evil techniques like the Soul-Swapping Nails from the Wild Mao Mountain. If you think that you can be invincible just because you know the Golden Escape Flowing Light technique, then one day you won't even know how you died!

This is why, while teaching Zhao Zhen the Golden Escape Technique, the old man never stopped refining Zhao Zhen's fundamental nature and destiny.

No matter how bizarre and varied the methods of the supernatural, the most basic thing is still their own nature and destiny, which are the source of all magic.

"He actually dodged it!" Li Muxuan's pupils suddenly contracted.

Having also cultivated the art of reversing the eight directions, he was naturally more acutely aware of the changes in the force field than anyone else present.

In his perception, he could clearly see that Wang Yaozu transformed the force field that reversed in all directions into a giant hand, reaching out to grab Zhao Zhen's ankle.

Just as the force field was about to touch Zhao Zhen's ankle, Zhao Zhen seemed to sense the force field and quickly retreated, putting distance between himself and Wang Yaozu's force field range.

"Since your old man has said this to you, why don't you avoid us and instead dare to come up to us?"

After testing Zhao Zhen briefly, Wang Yaozu withdrew his methods.

It seems Yuan Jingui was right; this little guy is indeed extraordinary.

Whether or not one had prior knowledge of their own "inverted directions" ability, being able to keenly perceive and dodge it on the first encounter at such a young age is enough to earn one the title of genius.

"Since all my skills were passed down from the old man, then regardless of whether I am a member of the Quanxing Sect or not, in the eyes of those famous and righteous sects, I am no different from the Quanxing Sect."

If even you dare not make contact, then wouldn't there be absolutely no place for me in this world of supernatural beings?

Upon hearing Zhao Zhen's words, Wang Yaozu couldn't help but look at him with newfound respect.

He hadn't expected that this little guy, despite his young age, would see things more clearly than many adults.

Sigh, I wonder when this silly boy on my side will finally understand this...

"Little guy, you are very good."

"You flatter me, Mr. Wang."

"Xiao Yuan told me you came here to become San Yi's apprentice?"

"It was just talk, and some fools actually believed it. I never expected that the Immortal of Daying would actually accept me..."

Zhao Zhen shrugged nonchalantly, but Yuan Jingui, who was listening nearby, immediately felt like hitting someone again.

However, after considering his own methods and Wang Yaozu's existence, Yuan Jingui forcibly swallowed his anger.

"Then what is the purpose of your visit?"
