"Master, urgent help."
After returning to Non-Phase Peak from Brilliant Peak, Wang Lu immediately sought outside assistance.
His Master was indeed his Master. She very righteously said, "Hahaha, young man, looking at your gloomy glabella and sad face, presumably, the bitterness of being lovelorn has welled up in your heart, and you need a mature and charming woman to soothe your pain!"
Wang Lu was silent for a long time, and then seriously said, "Actually, I have seriously reflected on it. "The Grand Cloud Fairy is a peerless beauty. Not being able to keep her is my biggest regret in my ten years of cultivation. Indeed, I miss her because of this, but rather than saying that I'm heartbroken, I'm more moved by her selfless sacrifice. Moreover, even if there is any pain, seeing your shameless face, I can't feel sad anymore. "
His Master indifferently chuckled and said, "You have the right to be stubborn … Say it, what is it? It's not easy to make you beg me."
Wang Lu said, "There are not many places where you can be of use. Of course, it's about cultivation: I want to know how to beat Zhu Shiyao."
His Master was suddenly stunned. "Zhu Shiyao? How did you get involved with her? "
Wang Lu thought for a moment and felt that this question was quite difficult to answer. If he directly told him that it was because he was angry because he was treated as a nobody in Brilliant Peak, it would be too narrow-minded. If he said that he was unwilling because he was forced to retreat by a sword on Four Divisions Peak, it would also not be magnanimous enough. Therefore …
Wang Lu coldly said, "Because one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers!"
His Master scolded, "Fart! One mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, then what are Feng Yin and Liu Xian, sick cats? Since when did it become the turn of a disciple like you to be the king? "
"… I am the sun in the morning."
"Then Zhu Shiyao is the haze that covers the sky."
"…"
"You really chose the wrong opponent this time." His Master spread out his hands and said, "If you want to fight head-on, you can't win."
This answer really surprised Wang Lu.
After seeing Zhu Shiyao's amazing Stellar Divine Sword, Wang Lu was very clear about the gap between him and her … However, after careful examination, it was not necessarily as different as cloud and mud. Although his Non-Phase Sword Art was broken, it was only because he was caught off guard for a moment. As long as he was slightly on guard, he would still be able to fight. Zhu Shiyao's level of cultivation was similar to his, so there was no reason for her to be that much stronger than him. Therefore, he expected that she would only need to practice hard and learn a few new moves, and then she would be able to turn the tables. If one year wasn't enough, three to five years should be enough.
Unexpectedly, Master's conclusion was so decisive!
Seeing the surprise on Wang Lu's face, his master could guess what he was thinking. After pondering for a while, as if organizing his words, he lightly explained, "You should have heard of the Son of Destiny."
Wang Lu nodded his head. Although this was already the sect's secret, as a successor disciple, he had lived in the mountain for ten years, so he more or less knew some of it. The so-called Son of Destiny was usually the precursor of the coming of a great era, the sustenance of the destiny of the Nine Regions. These people, with the Son of Destiny, could often achieve an amazing career.
Great Ancestor Desheng and Immortal Qin were such examples.
And Wang Lu was the Son of Destiny that the Sect Leader saw in the prophecy ten years ago — although the process was also accompanied by a misunderstanding.
As far as Wang Lu knew, the Lingjian School's Immortal Gathering ten years ago was precisely to absorb the Son of Destiny. After he entered the mountain, he spent several years to gradually shine, which gradually made the title of the Son of Destiny well-deserved. Therefore, even if his usual behavior was occasionally out of line, the Elders would not care too much about it — except for the most strict Disciplinary Elder, Fang He. This was undoubtedly the advantage of being the Son of Destiny.
Then why did his Master bring up this topic?
"When big sects do things, they rarely gamble. Therefore, in order to cope with the wave of the next great era, Lingjian School has made a lot of preparations … In short, you're not the only Son of Destiny. Not to mention in Nine Regions, even in Lingjian School, there are substitutes for you."
Wang Lu was slightly surprised. "So it's the Big Sister?"
"Of course, Liu Li can also be counted, but her weight is a bit lighter. Before you entered the mountain, Zhu Shiyao was the one that everyone had the highest expectation of. Although she didn't have the characteristics to confirm the prophecy, she was too powerful. So much so that, after the calculation at that time, even if there's really a Son of Destiny, it might not be able to beat her. In fact, until now, in the Sect Leader's heart, your weight and hers are still equal. "
"Equal …?"
His Master said, "Yes, objectively speaking, your weight is still a bit heavier. After all, relying on one's own force is not enough to entrust a sect. Whether it's Liu Li or Zhu Shiyao, as a cultivator, both of them are the top, but their character flaws are doomed to be unable to lead others as the leader of the sect. But you, at least, have proved yourself with the Wisdom Sect. But on the other hand, if you don't have some crooked talent, you're not qualified to be compared with Zhu Shiyao. "
"... That ruthless?"
His Master resolutely said, "That ruthless!"
"…"
"But, why do you have to go to a dead end? If your strength is inferior to others, you can use your IQ to gain a sense of superiority. Zhu Shiyao is not as stupid as Liu Li, but in front of you, she's definitely not smart. Moreover, although Zhu Shiyao is extremely strong, she is actually very weak as well. She has a fatal weakness, and it just so happens that her combat intelligence is inferior to Liuli's, who possesses the Brilliant Sword Heart. So for you, grasping her weakness is as easy as lifting a finger. " After a pause, Wang Wu simply pointed out the problem. "Simply speaking, if you and Zhu Shiyao are put in a life and death fight on the arena, nine out of ten, she would win. However, if you put it in an extremely complex environment, your probability of winning is much higher. Therefore, in the previous two experiential learning opportunities, the Sect Leader sent you to the Grand Cloud Mountain, while she went to the Southern Heaven Region. You see, if you look at the problem this way, isn't it a lot easier to accept? "
Wang Lu coldly snorted. "What's the use of adjusting the financial accounting if you can't earn money! If you can't win, then you can't win. Looking for a reason will only make you look weaker. "
His Master applauded without any sincerity. "Well said! You're indeed my disciple, your moral integrity is simply overflowing. Then, please develop your style and use your iron bones to fight against Zhu Shiyao's Stellar Soul Sword. I wish you good luck."
—
He didn't get any valuable help from his Master. Wang Lu knew that it was mostly because his Master really had no way to help him.
Zhu Shiyao's strength was so absolute and unshakable … A day later, Wang Lu closed his eyes and tried to recall the amazing sword that turned the whole world black and white. However, he still couldn't see the slightest chance.
The Stellar Sword Qi was not strong, but it was exquisite enough. It was so exquisite that it could penetrate through the flaws of Non-Phase Sword. Wang Lu tried to deduce it several times. No matter how he changed the sword's momentum, the Stellar Sword Qi would accurately and coldly pierce his forehead … Non-Phase Sword was by no means a crude sword technique that only relied on brute force. However, under the contrast of that exquisite Stellar Sword Qi, it seemed clumsy and full of flaws.
This was simply strange. Wang Lu's Non-Phase Sword Art could be considered as having experienced hundreds of battles. Whether it was a low level loose cultivator like Ye Chuchen, an elite disciple of the Five Uniques like Zhao Jiangyuan, or a profound Daoist Master of Yuanying Stage like Tiger King, he had fought them all. No one could use pure skill to break Non-Phase Sword Art. Before Zhu Shiyao, Wang Lu didn't even consider this possibility!
There must be some mystery in this. Considering that his Master said she had a fatal weakness, Wang Lu, while pacing outside the cabin, gradually formed an idea in his mind.
Could it be that the secret of Zhu Shiyao's strength was...
At this time, a golden sword light rapidly flew from the sky. Although the sword's momentum was fast, it was not sharp. Wang Lu's train of thought was interrupted by the sword light. When he took a closer look, he saw that it was a flying sword that was specially used to deliver letters.
There's a letter for me? At this time? Wang Lu curiously reached out his hand to catch the flying sword and took down the letter. When he opened it, he was taken aback.
The envelope impressively had the imprint of the Ten Thousand Arts Sect. As for the sender, as expected, it was Hai Yunfan.
It had been a long time since he last saw him, but in the past few years, he had been writing to his good pen pal, Hai Yunfan.
His correspondence with Hai Yunfan had been frequent, but it was rare to see him use such an extravagant way to send a letter. Generally speaking, it was through Shun Feng Line's ordinary mail, with an interval of three to four days. However, this golden flying sword could guarantee to arrive at the destination within half a day, which was very expensive.
When he opened the letter, Wang Lu was even more surprised. Because it was not the usual ordinary letter paper, but the extremely precious shadow letter paper, a precious tool that could be used for instant communication. The letter paper was in duplicate. When one wrote on one of the paper, the same handwriting would appear on the other side, which could be used for instant communication. The advantage was that this kind of dialogue was highly secretive, which could not be eavesdropped by others. Moreover, it was usually not limited by space. No matter where the two sides were, they could talk using this, which was somewhat similar to the Spirit Sword Heavenly Talisman.
Since Hai Yunfan sent this kind of letter paper, it was obvious that he had something important to discuss with him. Wang Lu gently touched the golden flying sword and left his own magical power imprint to prove that the letter had been received. Then, he held the letter paper and returned to his room.
After sitting down at the desk, Hai Yunfan's handwriting appeared on the letter paper.
"Brother Wang, it's been many years since we last met, I really miss you …"
Wang Lu immediately picked up the pen and wrote, "Less nonsense, get down to business."
"Em, I want to ask, about your sect's Successor Disciple, Zhu Shiyao, does Brother Wang know anything about her?"
Wang Lu immediately cursed, suppressed the confusion in his heart, and wrote, "Why do you want to ask about her?"
"One and a half months ago, the Ancient Sword Tomb in the Southern Heaven Region was opened. The heroes of the Nine Regions gathered to compete for the ancient relics. My sect's Big Brother Zhan Ziye led a team of seven people … I thought that the victory was in my grasp, but in the end, I was completely defeated by your sect's Zhu Shiyao. After thinking about it, I was shocked and even more puzzled. Therefore, I specifically wrote a letter to ask: Zhu Shiyao is so strong that she defies the natural order. Does your Lingjian School know about this before?"
Wang Lu was silent.
After a while, Hai Yunfan's handwriting began to appear again.
"There is another question: Brother Wang is the lead disciple of Lingjian School, but … with Zhu Shiyao, how did you become the lead disciple?"
F * ck, don't expose the truth!
Although Wang Lu's psychological quality as a professional adventurer was already very strong, at this time, he also had the urge to tear the letter. He gritted his teeth, picked up the pen, and replied.
"Of course, it's because of my wisdom and beauty!"
