Compared to the aristocratic families of Tian Luo, the Zuo Family of Tian Luo was barely known. But in terms of history, it was not the slightest bit shorter than the few famous aristocratic families. The Zuo Family's reputation in the world of combat was incomparable to the aristocratic families. Back in the days when combat was still dominant, the Zuo Family's glory had left a deep mark in the history of combat.
What surprised people the most was that every generation of the Zuo family would produce one or more talented people, and there had never been a gap in the generations. This had made many other combat aristocratic families envious. Besides, the Zuo Family never recruited outsiders, but this did not affect the inheritance of the Zuo Family's skills. Gradually, the Zuo Family became more and more mysterious in the eyes of the people.
As the status of combat declined, the Zuo Family appeared less and less in public, so little that people had almost forgotten the existence of this mysterious aristocratic family.
Hence, when Hua Shangmei and Rui Bing heard that the Zuo Family of Tian Luo was here, they were shocked. Be it the Rui Family or the Tian Hua dojo, compared to the long history of the Zuo Family, it was like comparing a child to an elder. Even the September Lan Family could not be compared to the Zuo Family.
From previous information, it seemed that every generation's prodigies had their own unique styles. It was hard to draw a conclusion about the fighting style of the Zuo family.
What could the Zuo Family of Tian Luo bring to the declining combat style?
Out of nowhere, Rui Bing could not help but think of the cold young man who defeated her. What realm had he reached with his current level? Rui Bing's eyes wandered.
His life now was blissful, at least he thought it was good. Other than the strange illness, he did not feel bad at all. Lan Yixing did not teach him anything else since that day. Every time he saw Ye Chong, he would only remind him to practice hard. Ye Chong did not feel any regret. His combat skills were not low, and his combat experience was not something Lan Yixing and the others could compare to. Besides, most of his experiences were on the brink of death, which gave him a solid foundation. At the end of the day, combat was still a form of attack and defense. Now, Lan Yixing had opened a window for him, allowing him to see a new world.
On the one hand, Ye Chong was amazed by this world, and on the other, he wanted to explore and experiment in this world. Of course, this had a lot to do with the fact that he had no one to teach him. Ye Chong wanted to be Lan Yixing's disciple no matter what. To him, Lan Yixing was a part of this unknown and strange world. Besides, judging from Lan Yixing's performance in the past few days, Ye Chong believed that he must have more powerful and mysterious tricks up his sleeves. How could Ye Chong not be excited?
However, Ye Chong did not plan to act on it immediately. What he needed now was to keep a low profile and not attract attention. After all, Black Cove was waiting for him outside. Besides, the mech he had recklessly destroyed last time must have attracted the attention of Black Cove.
Ye Chong was right. His actions had made Black Cove extremely nervous. Black Cove's high alert had also attracted the attention of the MPA and the Sanctuary, who had already noticed the unusual movements of Black Cove. For some unknown reason, none of the three parties extended their hands to the local government. Everything on the Windstar seemed to be going on as usual. The tourists who came to the Windstar for sightseeing were still in high spirits. They did not smell the vague restlessness in the air at all.
It was lunchtime when Rui Bing saw the Zuo family.
Zuo Ling was a tall man with a strong physique. His eyes were sharp as if they could see through a person's heart. Half of his chest was exposed with muscles as hard as steel. His knuckles were wide and strong, with a thick layer of calluses around his palm. His face was a mixture of arrogance and confidence, and the faint smile on his lips was enough to attract countless beauties.
There was a dark pendant hanging on his chest. Hua Shangmei, who was an expert in mech combat, recognized it immediately. It was a dimension keystone of a mech. Everyone at the dining table, except Rui Bing, could see it. Combat experts rarely carried dimension keystones. Since Tianhua dojo was developing mech combat, Hua Shangmei and the other two came into contact with this field.
Could it be that this Zuo Ling was also an expert in mech combat?
Wei Yuan, on the other hand, was disdainful. Hmph, mech combat, who could be YC's match? Thanks to Rui Bing, Wei Yuan attended the lunch as well. He had made up his mind to stay by Sister Bing's side. This was the only lead he believed to be related to YC. He would not give up unless he had no other choice. Fortunately, Sister Bing was a nice person, or he would have to go back obediently.
Hua Tiankai and the rest were wary of Zuo Ling's arrival. He came uninvited, and a member of the Zuo family. How could they not be cautious? However, Hua Tiankai and his disciples were not to be trifled with, so they made sure to be careful.
Zuo Ling may look arrogant, but his actions were generous and forthright.
"Mr. Zuo, you are truly skilled!" Deng Chong bowed to Zuo Ling. In the previous exchange, he had lost to his opponent's oppressive fighting style without any suspense. Deng Chong was a straightforward person. Although he was defeated, he was not angry, and remained courteous.
"Lucky, lucky!" Deng Chong's performance left a good impression on Zuo Ling.
Hua Shangmei and Zheng Zhonghang were in disbelief. It was not that they could not accept Deng Chong's defeat, but they could not accept that Deng Chong was completely suppressed by his opponent and could not even fight back. They looked at each other. Deng Chong was the best among the three, and if he was defeated, they would not have to fight.
Was the Zuo family really that powerful?
Rui Bing was still as cold as ever, but the light in her eyes suddenly brightened. Her skills were not something Hua Tiankai's three disciples could compare with. She was a hundred percent sure that this man, Zuo Ling, had entered the Jie realm! He was the youngest Jie expert she had ever met other than herself.
A Jie expert was a Grandmaster of Combat who had broken through the traditional boundaries. The strength of these Jie experts was far beyond the average martial artist, and they no longer relied on their physical strength. Jie experts were the true masters of the martial artists.
Jie experts were mysterious existences among the martial artists. With the decline of combat, there were fewer and fewer martial artists who could become Jie experts. The strength of Jie experts was also exaggerated by the people, as if they were undefeatable. However, Rui Bing scoffed at this. The first time she met Ye Chong was when she had just entered the Jie realm, and she was defeated by Ye Chong. Of course, this had to do with the fact that she had just entered the mysterious world. Her lack of familiarity with her own strength was the main reason for her defeat.
Strength was not absolute! From that time on, she understood this principle. Since then, she seemed to have improved even faster.
Hua Tiankai was also unfazed. No one could tell what he was thinking.
A black threadworm that was as thin as gossamer wandered in this virtual world. Password locks were useless against it. It could easily penetrate the lock and enter the photon processor connected to the virtual world.
It flipped through the data in the photon processor, and suddenly gasped in surprise. The hologram before it was a recording of Ye Chong's training. If Wei Yuan were here, he would be surprised to find out that this was the photon processor in his house.
YC was the hottest name during this period of time. Very few people who hung around the virtual world hadn't heard of this name. Of course, he was no exception. As a top Maverick, he was more familiar with the virtual world than most people. However, he had no interest in mechs, so he was not interested in this person before.
However, the recording before him had piqued his interest again. YC's latest hologram only had one frame, the one where he was on planet Richie. And here was a frame that had never been leaked. Could it be that the owner of this photon processor was YC?
YC was a legend in the virtual world. He became famous two to three years ago, and was even more famous now. This was a very rare occurrence. Due to the rapid changes in the virtual world, a famous person would often be forgotten in a very short period of time. It was difficult to maintain a reputation for two to three years.
However, he was soon disappointed. The owner of this photon processor was only an admirer of YC. However, it was not difficult for him to investigate someone's real identity in the virtual world. What he did not have to worry about was the fact that the possibility of YC being a Maverick was extremely low.
Mech piloting and photon processors were two completely different fields. Nowadays, the depth of knowledge in each field was enough to last a lifetime. Very few people would be involved in two completely different fields. Even if there were such people, the probability of them achieving success in both fields was much lower than the probability of a meteor crashing into a habitable planet. Since YC was an outstanding mech pilot, the possibility of him being a Maverick was close to zero.
The first thing he thought of was the MPA's database.
The MPA's password lock did not stop him at all. He slipped in effortlessly. It was so easy. Even though he had been through countless trials, he could not help but feel proud of himself. The MPA, which was so secure in the eyes of most people, was like his own home to him.
This was all thanks to his special algorithm. It was this creative algorithm that allowed him to shrink his body. He used to be in the form of a caterpillar. However, after all these years of careful thinking and calculation, he had already successfully compressed his own form into a black threadworm whose flesh threads were almost invisible. This was also the best result he could come up with after countless calculations. Although it was still far from the highest level of formlessness he had expected, he was very satisfied.
This form also made him almost invincible in the virtual world. No one could detect his presence, and those seemingly impenetrable password locks were nothing to him. He had also used this algorithm to reap huge benefits in the virtual world. For example, the organization he was working for. If he was not a powerful Maverick, he would not have been able to join the organization, let alone get his current position.
However, he was surprised to find that there was no information on YC in the MPA.
He was in a terrible mood.
What did not having YC's information mean? It meant that YC was most likely a Maverick, or a friend of a Maverick. No matter which possibility it was, it wasn't good news for him. Besides, from the fact that he could use the NR Training Center without registering, he was sure that he must be a very powerful Maverick.
In the virtual world, it was a taboo to inquire about someone's real identity. Among the Mavericks, it was an act of extreme hostility and provocation. As a veteran Maverick, he was very familiar with the unspoken rules of this circle.
However, he was not afraid, for he had absolute confidence in his own strength. He just thought that it was troublesome. To make an enemy of a powerful Maverick because of a moment of curiosity was not something to be happy about.
However, since it had come to this, he could only let it be, and stopped his investigation.
Ye Chong was practicing in his room. His life was very regular now. He would spend part of the day meditating, then practice combat, then go to the training ground to clean the floor, and then go back to his room to study alchemy. It was a pity that the room was too small, or he would like to practice mech piloting.
Shang was quiet, and Ye Chong liked it. One night, under the guidance of Shang, Ye Chong installed a miniature pulse signal device in a hidden spot near September dojo, and since then, Shang had been spending all his time in the virtual world. This also saved Ye Chong the trouble of having no one to listen to him.
Ye Chong was counting the days with his fingers, hoping that Wang Weixing would come back as soon as possible. Once Wang Weixing came back, he would go to him and cure him of his strange illness, and then quietly go to a planet where no one knew him, live carefully, and do what he was interested in. How carefree would that be?
He did not dare to go out, and did not know what the situation was like outside. Staying in his room was probably the most rational choice.
"Hmph!" Suddenly, Shang, who had been silent for a long time, let out a cold hmph. The murderous intent in it was so strong that Ye Chong was shocked. Ye Chong stopped what he was doing and asked, "What's wrong? Shang! "
