Hedong City's table was full of rules. Generally speaking, the first glass of wine would be led by the host, who would finish it in seven mouthfuls. It was a homophone of the seven characters, meaning "start". It implied that all aspects of life, career, and money would improve a little.
Although everyone drank like this, there were situations everywhere. For example, if the people at this table drank two and a half cups, they would basically take two mouthfuls. Even if it was three and a half cups, they would definitely not take more than four mouthfuls.
After a few rounds of wine, everyone was a little tipsy. Old Tophead finally couldn't hold it in anymore and whispered to Xu Yun.
"Xu Yun, tell me the truth. Did you eat something you shouldn't have?" Old Tophead was quite concerned about Xu Yun. He really did treat Xu Yun as his own brother.
Xu Yun pondered for a moment. "No. My eating habits are normal. I don't eat any exotic delicacies, nor do I eat anything strange. Why are you asking me this? What, do you see something wrong with my body? Oh, then you have to hurry up and treat me. I don't want to have a body full of problems at such a young age. I won't be able to live when I'm old. "
Old Tophead glared at him. "Don't play dumb with me. You know what I'm talking about. If you don't even trust me, then I won't ask. But let me tell you, not everything that looks good is a good thing, and not everything that looks bad is a bad thing. Let me ask you, have you had any unusual phenomena recently? You'd better tell me honestly. "
To be honest, Xu Yun did experience abnormal phenomena before. It was that time when he suddenly fainted for two days without any warning. He didn't feel any discomfort in his body, nor did he feel that he was overly exhausted. In short, that fainting could be described with one word: inexplicable!
This should be an abnormal phenomenon for Xu Yun, right? Xu Yun saw Old Tophead's serious expression and didn't hide it from him. "Brother, you don't say. A few days ago, I really did sleep for two days for no reason."
Old Tophead looked at Xu Yun and asked, "You really think it was for no reason?"
These words struck a chord in Xu Yun's heart. Of course, Xu Yun knew very well that it was impossible for such a state to occur for no reason. There had to be a problem somewhere, but he couldn't pinpoint what the problem was. He felt that everything in his body was normal.
"Brother, there's nothing in this world that happens for no reason. It's impossible that you don't know this. But if there's an effect, then there must be a cause. You don't need me to talk nonsense with you about the principle of cause and effect, right? "Old Tophead took a wine glass and clinked it with Xu Yun." Don't choke on your words. Tell me. "
Seeing Old Tophead and Xu Yun clinking glasses and drinking, Qiang and the others didn't want to disturb their conversation. Qiang took the lead and raised his glass to liven up the atmosphere. "Come come come, everyone. Old Mr. Wu and Brother Yun drink theirs. Let's drink ours … Come come come …"
Xu Yun drank half a glass of wine. He had to ask this very serious question in his heart. Originally, he wanted to wait until he had news of Yu Meiren and ask Yu Meiren. Now, he let nature take its course. Since Old Tophead appeared, why not ask him?
Besides, Xu Yun really didn't have anything to hide from Old Tophead. Old Tophead lived in seclusion abroad and had long since withdrawn from the disputes of the underground world.
"Right now, the vitality in my body is very vigorous. I can't believe it myself. And the inconceivable thing is that I'm just breathing normally to adjust my state of mind. But ever since I stepped into the ranks of super experts, I actually broke through to the second rank in a short time." Xu Yun's voice was very low. He didn't want others to worry about him. "Moreover, I feel that this power is very amazing. With my current control, I'm afraid that I can break through to the third rank of super expert in less than a month."
Old Tophead was dumbfounded. He had seen strength grow quickly, but he had never seen it grow so fast. According to Xu Yun's speed of increasing one rank in more than a month, it would only take a year to reach the grandmaster realm!
Do you know why Old Tophead was so shocked? It took him more than ten years to reach the grandmaster realm from a super expert! Although he wasn't talented, he was still a genius who stepped into the ranks of super experts at the age of twenty-five. In this way, he and Xu Yun could be considered to have stepped into the ranks of super experts at around the same age. Although Xu Yun's breakthrough was affected by his heart's devil, his comprehension should be about the same as Xu Yun's.
Old Tophead remembered that it took him a full year to break through to the second rank of super expert … Xu Yun actually broke through to the second rank in such a short time. To Old Tophead, this was a kind of fantasy!
If Old Tophead hadn't personally checked Xu Yun's pulse and could clearly feel the strength of Xu Yun's meridians, he would definitely doubt Xu Yun's words. But now, he didn't doubt it at all.
"To be able to break through in such a short time … In such a short time … It's really inconceivable, too inconceivable …" Old Tophead muttered to himself. He still hadn't recovered from his shock.
Xu Yun could only say that he didn't know much about his own body's condition. He also wanted to understand more from Old Tophead.
"This definitely isn't a normal phenomenon." Old Tophead said very seriously, "That time when you fainted was definitely closely related to your body's sudden increase in strength. If your body will continue to be in this state, I believe that the next time you fainted should be very soon."
Xu Yun agreed with Old Tophead's words. Although his body didn't give him this kind of indication, his intuition told him that sooner or later, he would fall asleep for many days. "Old brother, what exactly am I?"
Old Tophead smiled helplessly. "If I could find out what's wrong with you, then I'm afraid I'd be rich. If I could find out the secret to letting super experts break through in such a short time, I dare say that wherever I go, people would come knocking on my door."
He didn't know why, but Green Ghost suddenly flashed through Xu Yun's mind. Xu Yun suddenly had an especially terrifying thought. He quickly tried to recall what Green Ghost had told him.
"Although your skills aren't ordinary, I've already seen through it. You're at most at the second step of strength. Moreover, your strength increased by leaps and bounds in such a short time. I'm afraid you haven't completely adapted, so … you're not my opponent!"
"As long as you're willing to put down everything and follow me, bring that girl from Old Man Feng's family, then I'll tell you all the secrets. Moreover, when the time comes, I guarantee that your strength will increase by leaps and bounds even faster! So fast that even you can't believe it! "
"So you already know … No wonder, hmph, no wonder … I'll give you one last chance. If you're willing to cooperate with me, then I can treat everything that happened today as if nothing happened. If you don't want to cooperate with me, then even if you know this secret, it's useless. I won't let you leave here alive … "
These words were all said to him by Green Ghost. At that time, Xu Yun didn't think too much about it, but now that he suddenly thought of these words, he instantly felt enlightened! Xu Yun's gaze couldn't help but fall on Guoguo's body. At this moment, Guoguo was eating happily. Although this person's thoughts were very mature, she had a unique view on maintaining her figure. She said that when she was young, she had to eat the places that should be big. Otherwise, when she grew up, it was very likely that she would become the Princess Taiping who would be laughed at by her friends.
At this moment, a very terrifying thought appeared in Xu Yun's mind. Could it be that the rapid increase in his strength had something to do with Guoguo?! Could the secret on Guoguo's body be some kind of special ability? As soon as this thought appeared, Xu Yun was instantly frightened by himself.
If this kind of possibility really existed, then Guoguo would definitely become the most closely watched treasure in the world! How many people would not hesitate to gamble their lives in order to snatch her away? It was probably impossible to count!
This thought was too terrifying, but Xu Yun quickly rejected it. If Guoguo really had this kind of special secret ability, then Chou Yeon had followed Guoguo since she was born, then wouldn't she have long become a super expert who could instantly kill, no, an Earth Profound Realm expert who could instantly kill a Grandmaster Realm expert!
Therefore, this didn't sound too realistic and was a bit too exaggerated. Looking at Guoguo eating so happily, if someone said that this child had such a special ability, he wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.
But then again, if Guoguo didn't have anything special, then why did Green Ghost keep staring at Guoguo? And what other secrets did Guoguo have? What exactly was it that could make Green Ghost risk his life and want to get it even if he had to die?
For a super expert in the underground world, after Green Ghost took down Suhang, he had both status and money, and he didn't lack status. The only thing he wanted was to increase his strength.
There was a saying that a man who was never content was like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Obviously, when people had ten thousand yuan, they would always think about how they would spend it if they had a hundred thousand yuan. But when they really had a hundred thousand yuan, they would start to think about how they would spend it if they had a million yuan.
Although Green Ghost had the strength of a super expert, he also wanted to become a Grandmaster Realm expert like all super experts! Once he became a Grandmaster Realm expert, he would be able to be awe-inspiring in front of super experts. Just like Nether King Leng Chen, a Grandmaster Realm expert, in order to break through to the Earth Profound Realm expert, he would spend more than a hundred days in closed door cultivation every year.
Therefore, when it came to strength, it was just like how no one would complain about having too much money and power, and no one would complain about having too much strength. There was always a higher mountain. The stronger the person, the more they wanted to be stronger. It was just like how the more money people had, the more they wanted to be rich. Because they knew the pleasure of having money and strength, they had more pursuits.
