"You are indeed the new No.1 in the Federation. Your strength is extraordinary. This Ape King is yours," Kadin said with a smile. As soon as he said that, Helen and the others were extremely envious. They were not at the same level as Wang Zhong.
Molton knew what was going on. They were all from the same temple, and everyone knew each other. Since Wang Zhong didn't do the right thing, Molton started to fawn over him. Damn it, he was such a fool. Wang Zhong was Mu Zi's friend, and there was a natural phenomenon when he achieved his Dharma Idol. How could he be fooled by Wang Zhong's words? Deep down, he was still too conceited. Looking at Lola's elated appearance, he, as her brother, had really lost face all the way to his grandmother's house.
Wang Zhong smiled. "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Laura, this is for you. If you need anything in the future, just let me know!"
As soon as he said that, everyone gasped again. How could he give such a precious thing away just like that? Those at the Peak Heroic Soul Stage needed it even more. Was he an idiot?
Molton smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had really misjudged Wang Zhong. Laura smiled and nodded. At this time, Laura suddenly shed the burden of being in the Holy Land. She wanted to balance things out, but she didn't have the ability to do so. Fortunately, Wang Zhong was still Wang Zhong.
Molton looked at Laura holding Wang Zhong's hand in front of everyone and felt helpless. In the past, he might have been qualified to say that in the Holy Land, strength was everything. Although he didn't think that he couldn't beat Wang Zhong in a battle of life and death, Wang Zhong already had the upper hand on the surface. Who knew what other trump cards he had?
At this point, he had already gotten what he wanted, and there was no point in staying any longer. Wang Zhong didn't continue to taunt them. If everyone was going to fight back, then he really didn't need to do anything. After saying goodbye to Laura, he directly activated the Pioneering Order and returned.
Looking at the figure disappearing in mid-air after opening the transmission channel, Laura was full of joy. She didn't care about the Heart of the Ape. She only knew that Wang Zhong was still Wang Zhong.
The others only felt relieved from the oppressive atmosphere after Wang Zhong left.
Both Kadin and Molton had calm expressions on their faces, but this was abnormal. This was because they were not happy with this matter. No matter what the reason was, it was obvious that Kadin would not look for Laura again. Unless he really had the ability to suppress Wang Zhong, but obviously, he did not. Family influence? Too naive, such a person would not be able to survive in the Holy Land, because the family would immediately exterminate such trash. The descendants of the family had to serve the family, not the other way around.
Once Wang Zhong had a big shot who appreciated him, he would definitely soar to the top. Both Kadin and Molton were well aware of this.
Kadin looked at Helen and the others, including Tianqiong and the others. "Let's pretend that nothing happened today. I'll make up for the missing monkey heart. If anyone dares to tell anyone, they'll be coming with me!"
This was also the best solution. If the news spread to the ears of the family, they would say that the outsider he brought had taken away the heart of the Heart-Eating Ape King that the family had raised for more than ten years. That would definitely not end well for him.
Helen was the only one who blurted out, "Then, then what if Wang Zhong tells others?"
She didn't mean to say it, but she immediately saw Kadin's cold gaze. There was even a hint of anger and killing intent in his eyes.
Helen hurriedly shut up, but Molton couldn't help but speak up. "I agree with Brother Kadin. Whoever is the most despicable person will go against us, and we won't let him off easy."
Kadin didn't say much. If that was the case, he could only apologize to the family. However, if Wang Zhong was the kind of person who liked to show off, he wouldn't have had such a reputation in the Holy City.
Molton was also helpless. Every time Wang Zhong was around, he would lose control. Looking at the elated Laura, it seemed that it was time for him to let go. Who did he offend?
The three members of the Musk Family were very happy because they had gained a lot and didn't have to offend Kadin. Even if the family found out, they would only be scolded and their evaluation would be lowered. However, the people of Gao Mi would be in trouble.
Tianqiong Musk seemed to have returned to the CHF, and he was still the back view that made people sigh.
He just wanted to say: You're still the same old man.
Time flew, and the half-year protection period for newbies was about to end. The news of the rank-advancement competition was finally announced through various channels.
The rumor that the half-year Holy Disciple Battle would change was not groundless fake news. The Holy Disciple rank-advancement competition this time was greatly different from the past. Those who participated in the Holy Disciple competition were no longer limited to official Holy City Apprentices!
Everyone who was loyal to the Holy City, regardless of whether they were dimensional humans or Federation soldiers in the Holy Land, was qualified to participate in the Holy Disciple rank-advancement competition as long as they had reached the Heroic Soul Stage. There was no doubt that this was a chance for everyone!
This was unprecedented in the history of the Holy City!
In addition, there were also hundreds of young Heroic Soul soldiers brought by the teachers from the three empires!
This made the rank-advancement competition no longer as simple as it used to be. The Holy City was also filled with the smell of gunpowder, especially those official Holy City Apprentices. They trained themselves to death every day and seized every opportunity they could. Apprentices who were valued by their teachers were undoubtedly blessed. Ordinary Apprentices who had no teachers to curry favor with could only chase after their seniors to learn from them. At this time, being too proud was tantamount to death. Doing things behind closed doors was tantamount to waiting for death.
Everyone could feel that once they failed to advance, the days of the Holy City Apprentices would be even more difficult. More importantly, some people who were not 'qualified' had passed. What kind of pressure would they have to endure?
Slowly endure? Slowly wait? It seemed that the Holy Land wasn't such a friendly place.
As for the participants from the three empires, they carried the hopes and responsibilities of the higher-ups of the three empires. They had to stay in the Holy Land at all costs. They understood the meaning of not caring about anything more than anyone else. Similarly, for them, once they became official Holy Disciples, it meant that their status would change drastically, and they would be able to break away from the previous situation.
Amongst all the official acolytes, Carolyn and Solomon, who were both level 1 acolytes, stood out from the rest. It was said that the two of them were far more powerful than the other acolytes, and they were the cream of the crop even amongst the Holy Disciples. Other than a few arrogant ones who still wanted to challenge them, most of the people kept a low profile.
Of course, some powerful and ambitious people still had their eyes on White, the representative of the dimensional humans. This kind of discrimination was ingrained in their bones, just like how the people of the Federation looked down on the country bumpkins of the Empire.
After 50 days, once the news that this year's rank-advancement competition would begin was announced, the classroom became restless. Everyone was talking about it, especially those who had mastered a few trump cards. They were young people, so they obviously had a certain level of confidence to be able to come here. Basically, it wouldn't be a problem for them to advance to Holy Disciple. The problem was who they could get preferential treatment from. It was said that those who performed exceptionally well in the assessment would also be rewarded. Who wouldn't want to show their faces?
Who knew, they might be chosen by a Great Teacher. Vladimir was very calm in the classroom. After coming to the Holy Land, he seemed to have disappeared without a trace. He was usually so low-key that it was as if he didn't exist. Those trivial discussions slid past his ears like a breeze, and his cold gaze became even deeper. Carolyn had refused to become the disciple of a 5-star Great Teacher, and Solomon had been promoted to the so-called Dimensional Predator in the hostel. In his eyes, being strong was indeed strong, but it wasn't enough to shake his will. Everyone had their own path, and his path was different from theirs. Ice didn't need passion, but he would always inadvertently freeze thousands of miles. Overnight, the cold winter arrived. What he wanted was to amaze the world with a brilliant feat.
Don't forget, he was the pride of the Vasilyevich Family, and he only lost to Wang Zhong in the CHF. Teacher … What could a teacher bring? At most, they would bring him the right direction and some small conveniences. Cultivation still depended on oneself. As for soul tools and the like, they could indeed have them, but they couldn't be used during the test.
But Wang Zhong! This person … How could he ignore and forget him?
A smiling face appeared in Vladimir's mind …
This smiling face should have appeared in the minds of many Holy Apprentices now. Everyone had already regarded Wang Zhong as a piece of juicy meat. This guy had been unlucky ever since he came to the Holy Land, causing trouble everywhere. It was said that now, he had no choice but to throw everything away. Some time ago, he even got his hands on something that belonged to a Wards Master.
Half a year ago, after Wang Zhong revealed his Flaming Spirit Dharma Idol in the Holy City, he almost thought that Wang Zhong would fall just like that, just like that group of people. He was even a little delighted. Sometimes, the opponent's failure was one's own success. But very quickly, he noticed a detail. In the face of those taunts, Wang Zhong maintained his smile. Wang Zhong's gaze wasn't the kind that would explode mentally, but … disregard.
No one knew you better than your enemy. Ever since he was defeated, Vladimir remembered the humiliation. This was comparable to Mo Wen. He knew that he was stronger in the Heroic Soul Stage, so he had been observing him. Wang Zhong's gaze told him that Wang Zhong hadn't become weaker, but stronger. He had become so strong that he didn't need to care about the flaunting of a group of chickens.
This made Vladimir feel both excited and pressured at the same time. Thus, during this period of training, he had been imagining Wang Zhong as his enemy. Gold couldn't be hidden. This time, the rank-advancement competition would be divided into different levels.
In the Queen's Bar, the Wanderlust Team was trying to relieve their stress. Recently, they had completed a few B-rank missions, and there were no major unforeseen events outside of their plans. They had suffered some losses, but they had gained more. This allowed the Wanderlust Team to gain a firm foothold in the hostel rankings.
Oscar was already completely used to his bald head, and had already given up on the idea of growing his hair back. The negative effects of forcefully using Trierson's Calamity Vest might follow him for the rest of his life, and could not be reversed. However, this was a blessing in disguise, as his Soul Power had improved once again.
Rumble ~ ~ ~
As the door of the bar was forcefully pushed open, Asher, who had officially been promoted to the main tank of the Wanderlust Team, strode in angrily. Small Eyes, who was in charge of long-range support and firepower, trotted behind him and seemed to be trying to persuade him.
"Hey, Small Eyes, did Asher make a bet with someone again?"
Oscar smiled and waved his hand as a greeting.
"Captain! I really can't take it anymore today! "
Asher strode over, ordered a glass of wine, and downed it in one gulp. Seeing that Oscar was present, Small Eyes didn't stop Asher. It was obvious that she didn't look very happy. Obviously, she had encountered something unpleasant with Asher.
"Captain, if someone insulted me in front of you, what would you do?" Asher asked angrily as he wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth.
Oscar was stunned for a moment. He didn't know why Asher would ask such an irrelevant question. However, he quickly laughed and replied, "What would I do? Of course, I would insult you together with him. Haha. "
"Captain! I'm serious! I'm not joking with you! "Asher yelled in dissatisfaction.
"You won't lose weight or gain weight from being insulted, right? Do you think we're not insulted enough?" Oscar chuckled. "Tell me, who's talking bad about our team this time? Is it that I'm bald, or is it that your Sister Feng is too … erm, too beautiful?"
Feng, who was sipping red wine, smiled slightly. Ever since she joined the Wanderlust Team, almost everyone who knew her said that there was something wrong with her brain and that she was too stupid. However, there were some things that didn't need to be rational, and they couldn't be explained with rationality.
Asher scratched his head. "Why does everyone think that our deputy captain is useless? I understand now. Are they blind?"
Asher angrily recounted his encounter today. The most popular thing in the Holy City now was undoubtedly the upcoming rank-advancement competition. As for the topic, the big shots didn't dare to talk about it, but the people below could definitely talk about it. However, basically, as long as Wang Zhong existed, he would be treated as someone's contrast.
Small Eyes smiled. "What he's most angry about is that the Caterpillar Hostel gave Wang Zhong the status of a second-class Holy Disciple. Basically, he might be promoted, but he would definitely be replaced."
Everyone suddenly quietened down, including Small Eyes and Asher. They had actually overlooked such a major problem. Everyone could not help but laugh out loud. They were really too stupid. This was a great thing. Perhaps the Wanderlust Team could turn their losses into profits!
As for the rank-advancement competition, Wang Zhong had forgotten about it after hearing about it. He didn't care about anything else now, and he didn't have enough energy. How could he have the time to think about the novice protection period? Wang Zhong didn't feel that he needed protection at all. As for whether others felt the same or not … it had nothing to do with him.
Wang Zhong's current focus was mainly on the cultivation of Cellular Cosmology. However, at this stage, the only thing he could do was to constantly stabilize the Soul Core.
While stabilizing his understanding of the Soul Core, Wang Zhong didn't stop exploring and testing the Flame Guard and Darkness Guard.
The Headless Knight was summoned as a Darkness Guard Dharma Idol, which had a huge impact on Wang Zhong. He never thought that his second guard would be born like this. This also made Wang Zhong very curious. He constantly tested the Headless Knight, wanting to see how the Headless Knight's combat style would be different from when he met it in the Life and Death Realm.
