An hour later.
In the afternoon.
"Patter, patter …"
The sound of footsteps came.
Everyone turned around and found that Wu Ming's disciple, He Gaoming, had also come with his men.
Because it was not time yet.
So the two people in the field did not move. They had been resting with their eyes closed, secretly improving their state.
Time passed by minute by minute.
There was still one more day before the battle between the two of them.
The sun set and rose. No one spoke.
The people who came found a place to sit down quietly.
The next morning.
The entire top of Mount Zhongnan had been surrounded.
Martial artists from all over the country crowded together with their toes touching the backs of their feet, just to see this unprecedented battle with their own eyes.
Because they could not stand, some people had climbed to the trees in the distance.
And in the distance.
On the other side of the mountain range, on an empty mountain top that was higher than the top of Mount Zhongnan, several figures suddenly flew over from a distance.
Looking closely, there were four people in total.
"Haha."
Accompanied by loud laughter, the four figures simultaneously landed on the ground.
The person who laughed was a middle-aged man in ancient leather armor. This armor looked quite ancient, but it also made him look very imposing.
Next to this middle-aged man was a middle-aged man wearing round gold-rimmed glasses. This man was Diwu Qian's father, the patriarch of the Diwu family, Diwu Mingchuan!
On the other side.
It was a middle-aged woman in white clothes with her hair in a bun. This middle-aged woman looked like she had seen the vicissitudes of life.
The last person was an old man with a white beard.
This old man's face was ruddy. At first glance, he looked like a little old man who specialized in drunken boxing. But his body was not bent, and he walked steadily. He also had a wine gourd in his hand.
"Old Qian, what are you laughing at?"
The red-faced old man looked at the middle-aged man and let out a drunken burp. Then, he chuckled and said: "Tell me the truth, are you plotting something again?"
"Haha."
Diwu Mingchuan also opened his mouth and laughed.
"Hmm?"
The red-faced old man was stunned. He turned to look at Diwu Mingchuan and asked, "Young man, what are you laughing at?"
The two of them smiled without saying a word.
The red-faced elder harrumphed and turned to look at the white-clothed woman. He then hurriedly rubbed his eyes. This was because he realized that there was a hint of a smile at the corner of the woman's mouth.
"Damn, Xi Fengling, why are you smiling too?"
The old man looked as if he had seen something unbelievable, and he was completely stunned.
"Old Zhan."
The fifth Mingchuan laughed out loud and said, "We are laughing at the future of Wulin."
"Humph."
The old man surnamed Zhan snorted disdainfully and said, "You old guys have been thinking the same thing since you were young. I'm not with you."
"Old Zhan."
The middle-aged man with the surname Qian said, "We are the same kind of people. The reason why I am laughing is that there is a once-in-a-lifetime dish to go with wine today. This dish to go with wine might even give birth to the future of the martial arts world."
"Yes."
The woman named Xi Fengling also nodded and said, "After today, there may be another guru in Wulin. This is the blessing of Huaxia."
"A guru?"
The old man snorted disdainfully and said, "I don't think so."
"Old Zhan."
The fifth Mingchuan took a step forward and stared at the top of Mount Zhongnan in the distance with his eyes like torches. He waved his hand casually and asked, "What do you think of these two people?"
"Not bad."
The red-faced elder also stood forward and answered. He continued to add, "But they are just not bad. John Doe's strength is not as good as Lin Rusheng's now. Lin Rusheng is too useless. He can't enter the guru school in ten years. In this way, these two people are useless."
"That's a little too decisive."
The middle-aged man surnamed Qian came forward and said, "John Doe is not as good as Lin Rusheng. I agree with Old Zhan on this point, but only for now. Old Zhan seems to have forgotten that John Doe has only been in Wulin for two years. The most important thing is that this boy walked for nearly five minutes with lotus steps. If he is at Lin Rusheng's age, he may not be worse than us."
"As far as this battle is concerned, I am more optimistic about Lin Rusheng."
Xi Fengling said, "Lin Rusheng has been trapped in the guru school for more than ten years. The most powerful thing about a warrior is not the breakthrough and change, but the accumulation of years. Comprehension is also a kind of eruption after accumulation. In the past ten years, Lin Rusheng has not made a breakthrough, which means that he has accumulated for ten years. Whether in terms of internal Qi, skills, or experience, he is better than John Doe!"
"That's right."
Old man Zhan chuckled and nodded.
"All three of you are optimistic about Lin Rusheng?"
Diwu Mingchuan glanced at the three people and said, "It seems that I am the only one who is optimistic about John Doe?"
As soon as these words came out.
The other three people immediately turned their heads and stared at Diwu Mingchuan with puzzled eyes.
"Brother Diwu."
Xi Fengling said with some surprise, "With your experience, your ability to judge people is definitely not worse than ours. Although John Doe does have great potential, it is absolutely impossible for him to have the upper hand in today's battle."
"Of course I know this."
Diwu Mingchuan nodded with a smile and said, "Even so, I am still optimistic about John Doe."
"Why?"
The middle-aged man surnamed Qian asked.
"Straightforward."
Diwu Mingchuan did not hesitate at all and said with a smile, "John Doe is the most straightforward warrior I have ever seen. He is also the purest warrior and the most tenacious one. We have seen his battle with Yun Yangzi with our own eyes. I don't need to say more about his straightforwardness. You all should understand that his tenacity was also vividly shown in that battle, so I am optimistic about him."
"Straightforward? Tenacity?"
The old man seemed to think of something, and then immediately shook his head and said, "No matter how tenacious the iron is, it will break. I am still more optimistic about Lin Rusheng."
"It's useless to argue. Just look at the result and you will know."
The middle-aged man surnamed Qian said.
"Brother Qian is right. It doesn't matter who we are more optimistic about in this battle. The only thing that will affect this battle is a point that no one can grasp."
Xi Fengling stared at the battlefield at the top of Mount Zhongnan and said, "This point is the secret of heaven!"
Hearing that.
The other three people nodded.
They knew that the secret of heaven that Xi Fengling was talking about was Lin Rusheng.
The Battle of Proving the Way.
Lin Rusheng was trying to prove that secret of heaven.
If Lin Rusheng managed to obtain that sliver of Heaven's Secret in this battle, then he would completely change his appearance and become a completely different person, or even a completely different kind of person!
However, that secret of heaven was too difficult to grasp.
Even these four people.
Even the clan leaders of the four clans, who were the strongest forces in the martial arts world, were not sure.
"It's not easy to get that secret of heaven."
Diwu Mingchuan sighed softly. There was an indescribable sense of desolation in his words.
"It's difficult."
Clan Leader Qian, who was wearing ancient leather armor, shook his head and said, "This secret of heaven has stopped many geniuses and heroes."
"It's too ethereal."
The old man said with a smile, "I'm still at ease. It's over after a sip of wine!"
Hearing that.
The other three people immediately smiled bitterly.
There was no doubt that the four people on the scene had been stopped by that secret of heaven.
Among them, Diwu Mingchuan, Xi Fengling, and Clan Leader Qian had held on for a long time and finally succeeded in breaking through. But this old man, who lived freely all day long, didn't even know what that secret of heaven was. After a night of drunkenness, the first thing he did when he woke up the next morning was to drink a mouthful of wine and he actually broke through.
This way of breaking through made Diwu Mingchuan, Xi Fengling, and Clan Leader Qian dumbfounded.
Who could they reason with?
"This step is half life and half death."
Xi Fengling said, "If you pass it, you will live. If you can't, you will die!"
"Yes."
Clan Leader Qian nodded and sighed, "Everyone has a different way to become a Grandmaster. I just ate a mouthful of food, drank a mouthful of wine, and was stunned. Who could you reason with?"
After saying that.
Old Zhan immediately looked at him with contempt and rolled his eyes.
"In fact, Lin Rusheng has a big knot in his heart."
Diwu Mingchuan looked at the old man and then at Clan Leader Qian. After smiling secretly, he immediately changed the topic and said, "In ten years, anyone will have a big knot in his heart. And this time, he openly challenged John Doe and publicly said that this is the Battle of Doctrine Proving, which shows that he has decided to concentrate this knot in his heart on this battle. He feels that he can't break through because no one stimulates him. He wants to untie this knot in his heart today. Once he unties this knot in his heart, maybe he will succeed!"
Hearing that.
The other three people nodded in affirmation.
While talking, the four people's eyes were already focused on the battlefield at the top of Mount Zhongnan. Everyone's eyes were full of expectation.
"Haven't you found out John Doe's background?"
Suddenly, Xi Fengling asked.
The other three people hesitated and looked at each other. Diwu Mingchuan shook his head and said, "Not yet. It's not that we haven't found him, but we can't find him at all."
"It's the same situation on my side."
Clan Master Qian also nodded and said with a slight frown, "I have used all the power I can and even invited the officials, but there is still no clue. The appearance of this person is too strange, but also too ordinary. It is so ordinary that it is completely contrary to his performance. I feel that he is the kind of extreme person who should not appear in this world at all."
"If you can't find him, I can't find him either."
Old Man Zhan shrugged and said, "You know, I'm not good at investigating people."
"I have an idea."
Xi Fengling opened her mouth and said, "In a place like Huaxia, who can hide a person's identity and background to such an extent?"
At the sound of this.
The other three people were still stunned.
"You mean, the officials?"
Clan Leader Qian raised his eyebrows.
"Yes."
Xi Fengling directly nodded and said, "Except for the officials, I don't think anyone can do this. Even the Sword Pavilion is not impeccable."
"I also thought about it."
Diwu Mingchuan nodded and said, "John Doe is very likely to be cultivated by the officials. Otherwise, it is impossible that no information about him can be found."
While talking.
Unknowingly, the expressions on the faces of the four patriarchs began to change.
