From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

The smiling tiger who can command five provinces is no fool. If the disciples of various sects get into trouble at the "Martial Arts Conference", then his warlord career will be over.

They don't even need to lift a finger; they can simply ask the Tang Clan to help.

The assassins of the Tang Clan take money to do their jobs. They identify their targets and do not distinguish between good and evil, nor do they care whether the target is an ordinary person or a superhuman. They adhere to the principle of fighting to the death.

As long as the money is there, everything is negotiable.

But why bring Zhang Huaiyi along?

From the moment Huaiyi came up the mountain, Zhang Jingqing could tell that this kid was hiding something. Since obtaining Qi, his cultivation has been extremely fast. Although he cannot compare to Zhang Zhiwei, he can definitely be described as making rapid progress.

Therefore, after Ghost Hand King withdrew from the Quanxing ritual and led Zhang Zhiwei back to the mountain, Zhang Jingqing directly exposed Huaiyi's disguise and concealment, telling him to pretend to be Zhang.

Zhang Jingqing originally planned to test Zhang Huaiyi for several more years to see how long he intended to hide.

But the plans couldn't keep up with the changes.

Zhang Zhiwei encountered a formidable opponent at the foot of the mountain. In order to surpass his opponent, he practiced even more diligently after returning to the mountain.

And Zhang Huaiyi's hidden identity—

In the eyes of this 64th generation Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, besides the experience before he came up the mountain that made him cautious, he probably also had a similar idea as "there is no first place in literature and no second place in martial arts", wanting to make a name for himself in the future, or even surpass his senior brother Zhang Zhiwei.

Therefore, Zhang Jingqing exposed Zhang Huaiyi's disguise in advance... Although the process was somewhat complicated and Zhang Huaiyi was so frightened that he ran down the mountain, he eventually returned to the mountain.

all in all.

After further confirming Zhang Huaiyi's thoughts and understanding his character, Zhang Jingqing secretly guided him in practicing the Golden Light Mantra for two years.

As for Lei Fa—

But it hasn't been taught yet!

Thunder magic can only be practiced by high-ranking masters of Longhu Mountain; that's the rule! Although he, as the Celestial Master, could disregard this rule if he wanted to pass it on, as the Celestial Master, he also needed to consider the feelings of his other disciples!

Unless Zhang Huaiyi is as gifted as Zhang Zhiwei and can get along well with his fellow disciples in every sense of the word.

Otherwise, the other disciples would definitely have a lot of opinions about this usually timid and secretive boy.

"Will you agree or not?"

Zhang Jingqing questioned Zhang Zhiwei, as if she wouldn't allow him to leave the mountain unless he agreed.

“Master, what are you saying? It would be perfect if Junior Brother Huaiyi could come along.”

Zhang Zhiwei readily agreed.

Isn't it just about bringing in insurance to prevent him from causing trouble?

What's the big deal?

Afterwards, Zhang Zhiwei bid farewell to his fellow disciples from the Celestial Master's Mansion and descended the mountain with Zhang Huaiyi.

"Junior brother, tell me, why does Master insist that you follow me?"

After traveling for two days, Zhang Zhiwei finally understood.

Among the many fellow disciples in the sect, there are quite a few who understand the ways and rules of the world, so why is it Zhang Huaiyi who is the only one?

Just because he's cautious?

impossible!

"Senior brother, this... you have to ask Master." Seeing Zhang Zhiwei leaning in so close, only a centimeter from his nose, Zhang Huaiyi was extremely nervous.

It should be noted that this is the number one young person in the Celestial Master's Mansion. In the entire Longhu Mountain, apart from the Celestial Master, the other older generation... although they have never competed with Zhang Zhiwei, many people speculate that Zhang Zhiwei has already surpassed them in terms of strength. The only thing he lacks is to truly complete the Zhengyi talisman techniques and inherit the true Five Thunder Orthodox Method.

be honest.

In the past, Zhang Huaiyi did have the idea of ​​secretly working hard and then one day amazing everyone. But ever since Zhang Zhiwei and his master returned from the ceremony where Ghost Hand King withdrew from Quanxing and led a large group of fellow disciples to practice, he has had the feeling that he will never be able to surpass Zhang Zhiwei in terms of strength in his entire life.

We can only consider conducting more research on other aspects, such as:

How can the Golden Light Mantra be developed into more forms?

And to innovate in the art of thunder magic, and to come up with some new insights?

all in all.

In terms of combat strength, Zhang Huaiyi no longer aspires to be compared with Zhang Zhiwei and has already planned to find another way in the future.

"is it?"

Zhang Zhiwei slapped it down.

Faced with that palm that resembled a five-element mountain, Zhang Huaiyi's hair stood on end instantly. He never expected that the other party would actually make a move.

Swah——

Zhang Huaiyi instinctively channeled his Qi, and golden light appeared on his body. He squatted down and leaned back, while simultaneously straightening his legs to dodge the palm strike.

Let's look at Zhang Zhiwei next.

The slap that was being swung suddenly stopped, stopping to the side of where Zhang Huaiyi had originally been standing.

This means that the slap will not land on Zhang Huaiyi's face at all!

This is a test!

Zhang Huaiyi immediately realized what was happening, but when he saw Zhang Zhiwei's ambiguous smile, his heart skipped a beat. He gave an awkward smile and said, "Um, senior brother, did you believe me when I said I unleashed all my body's potential?"

"Believe! Why wouldn't you believe?"

Zhang Zhiwei walked over, put his arm around Zhang Huaiyi's neck, and headed east, chuckling as he said, "Junior brother is amazing! You fooled everyone. That move you just made is enough to give me a run for my money, isn't it?"

"hehe."

Zhang Huaiyi gave an awkward laugh.

He knew that when his senior brother said "exchange a couple of moves," he really could only exchange "two" moves with his senior brother when he was serious.

As for what happens after those two moves—

It naturally collapsed.

"How about we practice a bit before we go to Yuhang? Let your senior brother test your skills properly?" Zhang Zhiwei chuckled. "You kept it a secret from me for so long when we were on the mountain."

"that······"

Just as Zhang Huaiyi was about to refuse, Zhang Zhiwei slapped him again.

Thinking of the previous palm strike, Zhang Huaiyi didn't dodge.

then!

Snapped!

The slap landed hard on Zhang Huaiyi's face, causing his face to contort visibly, and his body even flew past Zhang Zhiwei, crashing heavily to the ground.

With his vision blurred, Zhang Huaiyi felt as if he had been hit by a bull while his breathing was relaxed. Not only was his head spinning, but his internal organs were also churning.

"Oh dear, junior brother, why aren't you resisting?"

Zhang Zhiwei quickly helped Zhang Huaiyi up and shook him vigorously, afraid that the slap he had just delivered might have knocked him unconscious!

However, he was also somewhat disappointed.

Is this all there is to it?

[Not as good as the flowing river.]

"Senior brother, you've got your arm around my shoulder, how can I resist?" Zhang Huaiyi, now clear-headed, looked at Zhang Zhiwei with resentment as he suddenly attacked him.

We're all fellow disciples, is there any need for a sneak attack?

But who is Zhang Zhiwei?

embarrassment?

does not exist.

After helping Zhang Huaiyi up, he said in a serious tone, "So, Junior Brother Huaiyi, you still need to practice!"

Zhang Huaiyi felt a toothache and thought to himself:

Master, with Brother Zhiwei's personality, even if he goes down the mountain alone, he is definitely not the kind of person who would suffer a loss!

# Chapter 257 Meeting

"Senior brother, is that Jiang Liu you mentioned really that powerful?"

Zhang Huaiyi was unwilling to discuss this topic further, lest Zhang Zhiwei find another reason to test his abilities, so he could only shift his focus to his senior brother's real purpose for coming down the mountain.

River flow.

The adopted son of the Ghost Hand King.

A guy who figured out what all the righteous people from prestigious sects were thinking when Ghost Hand King withdrew from the Quanxing Ceremony, and took the blame for his father, turning the withdrawal ceremony into a "gathering" for the younger generation.

More importantly—

The opponent was able to fight Zhang Zhiwei to a draw.

"How can you say it's amazing? It's absolutely amazing!"

"You have no idea how amazing that kid is!"

"Old cow!"

When it came to Jiang Liu, Zhang Zhiwei talked non-stop, his mouth practically stretched to his ears in a grin, while Zhang Huaiyi stared in utter disbelief...

···

"Ahh~"

Jiang Liu, who had already returned to Cultural Street with Lu Jin, suddenly sneezed and muttered, "Who's talking about me?"

thereafter.

He then joined the Confucian Society with Lu Jin.

The Confucian Association building is not much different from the other buildings on Cultural Street. It occupies only three or four hundred square meters and has two floors. The first floor is a reception hall and the second floor is a conference room. It looks very simple, with only the two large characters "Confucian Association" written on the wooden plaque hanging above the entrance.

Because that smiling tiger surnamed Sun is going to hold a martial arts tournament, many extraordinary people in the cultural street also want to join in the fun, but they are worried that it will affect the prosperity of the cultural street, so they need to hold a meeting to discuss it.
