From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

···

yesterday.

Of the thirty-one who advanced, sixteen were selected.

Today, the top eight will be decided.

Zhang Chulan was the first to go on stage, his opponent being Xiao Xiao, a master of breathing techniques, but he didn't actually fight.

"Since Xiao Xiao didn't play, Zhang Chulan wins." The referee had no choice but to announce the result.

Where did Xiao Xiao go?

"He probably drank too much last night and is still feeling dizzy."

"That's such a pity!"

"Zhang Chulan's luck is absolutely incredible!"

Despite the audience's mockery, Zhang Chulan remained unfazed and left the venue immediately after winning.

As for why Xiao Xiao didn't play?

Now, we must ask Feng Baobao why she was carrying a shovel so early in the morning...

Following Zhang Chulan and Xiao Xiao, the two contestants are Wang Bing and Deng Youfu.

In short, it was Jiang Liu's involvement in the preliminary rounds that prevented Zhang Lingyu from advancing, which in turn affected the matchups of the other contestants, causing Deng Youfu to face Wang Bing first, rather than Feng Xingtong.

As a member of the younger generation, Deng Youfu only knew that there were ways to bind spirits and command generals in the world, but he did not know that the Wang family also possessed the method of binding spirits and commanding generals.

"Please welcome Liu Kunsheng! Master Liu, you're in spirit!"

Deng Youfu trembled all over, shaking his head, and a black cloud of energy spread from his body, filling the entire arena with a chilling aura, which made the audience outside the arena tremble with fear.

Without him.

Although the almost solidified black energy had no actual temperature, the chill emanating from it struck the spirit directly, causing cultivators with weak life cultivation to tremble involuntarily, as if they were in an ice cellar. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was "heart-piercing and bone-chilling".

"Tch! What a waste! He actually needs me to take his place against such a greenhorn!"

Liu Kunsheng flicked his forked tongue and said to Wang Bing, "Kid, admit defeat, or you'll get a beating from me!"

# Chapter 588 Planning Ahead

however.

Faced with Liu Kunsheng's sarcasm, Wang Bing suddenly burst into laughter, his mouth almost reaching his ears, and said, "Haha! Heaven is truly helping me!"

"Have you gone mad from being scared by me?"

Liu Kunsheng sneered, but suddenly felt an invisible force penetrating his soul. Before he could resist, his spirit was ripped from Deng Youfu and fell into Wang Bing's hands.

"Uncle Liu!"

This was the second time Deng Youfu had experienced this feeling. His eyes trembled as he watched Liu Kunsheng being drawn into the black Qi ball in Wang Bing's palm.

"Excellent! Absolutely excellent!"

The moment Wang Bing completely sealed Liu Kunsheng away, he also felt the energy contained within it and laughed maniacally, "After eating this stuff, I will definitely be invincible!"

Immediately, Wang summoned a humanoid spirit, which, under the astonished gazes of Deng Youfu and most of the spectators outside the arena, took a bite.

In the blink of an eye!

The humanoid spirit was torn apart and swallowed by Wang Bing, and his Qi aura also increased slightly.

"Give me back Uncle Kunsheng!"

Deng Youfu's eyes trembled, and he rushed towards Wang Bing without regard for anything else.

However, more than 70% of the abilities of the Northeast shamans lie in the spirits, and each person only cooperates with one spirit. Without Liu Kunsheng, Deng Youfu's strength is less than one-tenth of what it used to be, so how could he be a match for Wang Bing?

then.

A one-sided beating unfolded on the field.

Ignoring the horrified and uneasy looks from the onlookers, Wang Bing relentlessly beat Deng Youfu, grabbing his head and demanding, "My great-grandfather always forbade me from going to the Northeast! I thought the men of the Northeast were so tough! Turns out they're nothing special!"

Even after being beaten, Deng Youfu refused to admit defeat, gripping Wang Bing's sleeve tightly and snarling, "Give Liu Kunsheng back to me!"

Unlike ordinary shamans who are skilled at controlling spirits, the shamans of the Northeast lineage have an extremely deep relationship with spirits.

It wasn't exactly a matter of life and death, but so much effort was put into cultivating a good relationship and establishing a cooperative contract with the elf, and now it's all been taken away by someone else—

If he doesn't get it back, then he shouldn't even be too much for himself to die in repentance when he gets back!

But the only response to Deng Youfu was Wang Bing's fist.

Click!

The punch landed on Deng Youfu's mouth, sending several broken teeth flying.

"You've gotten my clothes all dirty." Wang Bing patted his sleeves, looked at Deng Youfu who was getting up, and kicked him in the stomach again.

"what!"

Despite the pain that made Deng Youfu's eyes bulge and blood gushing from his mouth, he still struggled to his feet.

But to no avail.

But Wang Bing was also annoyed.

If Deng Youfu wanted to admit defeat, he would be more interested and beat him until he couldn't take care of himself. But Deng Youfu's shameless attitude made Wang Bing feel a little bored and he wanted to end the game as soon as possible.

Seeing that Deng Youfu was unwilling to admit defeat, Wang Bing became increasingly ruthless, kicking him and breaking his thigh and both arms.

The referee jumped off the field when Deng Youfu could no longer move, then stopped and walked off the field triumphantly.

"That guy is so 'high-profile,' doesn't his family keep an eye on him?"

Zhang Chulan lowered his voice by three points and looked at Wang Bing's back with more vigilance—that guy was definitely not easy to get along with!

"Wang Bing of the Wang family was favored by his great-grandfather because he was the most talented among the Wang family's generation."

Xu San adjusted his glasses and explained to Zhang Chulan.

"What about Spirit Binding and Commanding? Isn't that the Feng family's unique skill? How come the Wang family also knows it?" Zhang Chulan glanced at Feng Zhenghao's gloomy face not far away and realized that this was also the first time Feng Zhenghao had noticed that the Wang family also possessed the Spirit Binding and Commanding technique, which made him even more puzzled.

"The company is actually aware that the Wang family can summon spirits and command generals."

Xu Si took a deep drag, threw down the cigarette butt, stomped it out, and exhaled smoke. "But we have no way of knowing exactly how it came about."

You know.

When it comes to sects or families with supernatural abilities, some things cannot be investigated in detail.

of course.

If they really wanted to investigate, the company could find out, but if this kind of thing could be resolved privately, it would save the company some effort. Feng Zhenghao and Wang Ai are both cunning old foxes; the two families most likely won't bring this matter into the open… Twenty years ago, that might have been possible, but now that they dare to cause trouble, and even All-Tong can't resolve it, then higher-ups will have to intervene.”

These words were also a reminder to Jiang Liu—

The gunshot wound on Dou Mei's ankle... the news had already reached the company headquarters, making the company's senior board members somewhat sensitive.

Jiang Liu naturally understood the implication in Xu Si's words, but he didn't care. After telling Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, he found the meditation room on the back mountain of the Celestial Master's Mansion.

Deng Youfu was receiving basic treatment and bandaging from the Taoist priests of the Celestial Master's Mansion, but they were powerless to help with the broken bone fragments inside his limbs and he would have to go to a large hospital at the foot of the mountain for surgery.

Besides Deng Youfu's younger brother Deng Youcai and his girlfriend, Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan were also present—in the penultimate round, Feng Shayan would directly concede defeat to Feng Xingtong.

As I said before: the butterfly effect caused by Jiang Liu's involvement in the preliminary rounds has led to some changes in the match schedule of the Ten Elders, resulting in the siblings from the Feng family meeting in the quarterfinals.

The two of them came for two purposes.

One plan is to befriend Deng Youfu and prepare to snatch Liu Kunsheng from Wang Bing in tomorrow's semi-final competition and return him to Deng Youfu.

Because of the ability to bind spirits and command generals, Guan Shihua, one of the Ten Elders, rarely attends various events. Feng Zhenghao, Feng Shayan, and Feng Xingtong, who also possess the ability to bind spirits and command generals, have never been to the Northeast region, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.

However, Feng Zhenghao definitely wanted to befriend Guan Shihua from the Northeast, so he went to Wang Ai himself and asked his two children to befriend Deng Youfu.

Secondly.

Feng Xingtong himself disliked Wang Bing's character, and since the Feng family's ability to control spirits had fallen into the hands of the Wang family, they had to find an explanation no matter what.

Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai were not stupid; they knew the purpose of Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan's visit at this time.

But you can't hit someone who's smiling at you.

If Feng Xingtong can actually wrest Liu Kunsheng back from Wang Bing, then the two of them will be able to chat with Grandma Guan and allow the Feng family members to travel to the Northeast.

But what is Jiang Liu doing here?

"The injury is quite serious."

Jiang Liu stepped forward, extending his magnetic field to locate every broken bone fragment in the man's limbs and chest. He then pieced the fragments back together and regulated the man's meridians, allowing the bones to begin healing. "It's almost healed. In about half a month, he'll be able to walk again. But to be as lively as before, he'll need at least three months of rest."

Deng Youfu was overjoyed to find that he could move his legs again. With Deng Youcai's help, he sat in a wheelchair and thanked Jiang Liu.

"No need to thank me. Just tell me about the specifics of the Five Great Immortals. I might go to the Northeast in the future, so I'll give you a heads-up."

Go to Northeast China

This is certainly not the Northeast of this modern time and space.

Rather, it's set in Northeast China during the Republican era, where Jiang Liu lives. Those little bastards from Japan might install a puppet emperor; we need to prepare for the worst...

# Chapter 589 Boiling a Frog in Slow Water

Hearing that Jiang Liu wanted to learn about the Five Great Immortals of the Northeast, Deng Youcai hesitated, but Deng Youfu had no such concerns and explained the general situation of the Five Great Immortals one by one.

"Big brother, you—"

"Brother, it's alright. If this guy really goes to the Northeast, even if the five great immortals attack together, he'll only be reduced to ashes."

Deng Youfu had witnessed Jiang Liu's ability to capture Liu Kunsheng, which was even better than Wang Bing's ability to capture spirits and command generals. Now, he was asking Jiang Liu about the situation of the Five Immortals of the Northeast, probably to avoid conflict with them when he went to the Northeast in the future.

Thank you.

Jiang Liu memorized the characteristics of the five immortals one by one, then went out with Feng Xingtong and Feng Shayan, and asked, "Are you confident that you can defeat Wang Bing?"
