Ding Ning thought he would have to spend a lot of effort to convince them. He did not expect that the moment he opened his mouth, these guys, who had nothing better to do, would immediately agree as if they were afraid that he would go back on his word.
Their eyes were shining with excitement, which made Ding Ning feel uneasy. He suspiciously speculated, "Did these guys take the wrong medicine?" They agreed without even asking about the benefits? This doesn't make sense. '
Little did he know that Long Luo and the others had personally witnessed everything that had happened at the opening ceremony of the Tianze Sect. Let alone why the fake human emperor had suddenly fled, just the show of the three organisations that had come to cause trouble, as well as the fact that the two hall masters of the three divine halls had been subdued by Ding Ning through some unknown method and joined the Tianze Sect was enough to make them respect Ding Ning like a god.
Even if Ding Ning did not invite them to be his followers, they would think of ways to stay on Tianze Island for a while longer. Now that Ding Ning had taken the initiative to come to them, only a fool would reject him.
What a joke. Being a follower of the Tianze Sect was much more exciting than watching over the bathing area in Andu. How could they miss such a good opportunity?
Ding Ning had accepted 16 demigod-level followers in a muddle. The Tianze Sect now had 16 demigod-level followers. Uh, looking at their tattoos, they did not have the demeanor of an expert at all. Calling them followers would be giving them too much credit. At most, they would be a group of thugs.
After accomplishing a major task, Ding Ning reluctantly bid farewell to his overly enthusiastic subordinates and slipped away as if he was fleeing from something.
After leaving the place where Long Luo and the rest were staying, Ding Ning wiped his cold sweat with lingering fear. He mumbled to himself maliciously, 'Damn it, they're too enthusiastic. Could it be that they're actually a bunch of gay old men wearing the skin of a demigod?'
He did not know if it was because of his great luck. Song Zhong, who had always been cold, actually said that he wanted to be his disciple directly. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Putting aside the fact that Song Zhong was one of the four ruthless men who were on par with his father, Ding Ning was embarrassed to accept him as a disciple due to his age and experience.
However, Song Zhong was extremely stubborn. He knelt down with a thud and refused to get up.
"Why do you want to be my disciple?"
Ding Ning couldn't do anything to him and couldn't help asking speechlessly.
Song Zhong answered his question honestly. He was a rogue cultivator. He had once accidentally entered a ruin and saw a long spear burning with white flames and an arrow burning with black flames intertwined with each other. They seemed to be fighting with each other.
At that time, his strength was low. Not to mention coveting such a terrifying Divine Flame Weapon, he would be burned to ashes even if he got a little closer.
He originally wanted to quietly retreat, but he didn't expect that the white flame spear would suddenly break free from the entanglement of the black flame arrows and enter his body. He thought that he was dead for sure, but he didn't expect to benefit from a disaster. When he woke up in a daze, the cold flame divine weapon had already been subdued by him, allowing his strength to advance by leaps and bounds.
From then on, he relied on this Cold Flame Soul-Chasing Spear to make a name for himself as one of the Four Vicious.
In the past, he still had a younger sister to worry about, and he had his own secrets. He was afraid that he would bring disaster to his sister, so he had always been a loner and did not join any sects.
But now that his sister was dead, he was alone and had nothing to worry about, so he only wanted to pursue the peak of martial arts.
It was just that his strength had stagnated at the peak of the God Martial Arts Realm for many years, and he had never been able to take that step into the Holy Martial Arts Realm. He had also carefully analyzed the reason and finally found the crux of the problem.
As the saying goes, success or failure is due to the same reason. At that time, he unexpectedly subdued the Cold Flame Spear, which made his strength soar, but at the same time, it also brought hidden dangers. That was, his foundation was not stable. He relied on the power of the Cold Flame Spear to get to where he was today. If he wanted to go further, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven. Unless he destroyed all his cultivation, abandoned the Cold Flame Spear and started cultivating from the beginning, it would be possible for him to step into a higher realm.
But he was a rogue cultivator. He didn't have a systematic cultivation method, nor did he have a teacher to guide him. All his strength was on the Cold Flame Spear. He was really reluctant to give up the cultivation that he had painstakingly cultivated.
So after thinking about it, Ding Ning was the only person who could ignore the white cold flame. Maybe he had a way to solve his troubles, so he had the idea of worshiping him as a teacher.
Ding Ning listened to him, but his heart was moved. Black flame arrows? Could it be the special arrows of the Sunshot Bow?
He immediately reached out to condense a wisp of Nirvana Heavenly Fire and asked, "Is the black flame arrow you saw this kind of flame?"
Song Zhong suddenly widened his eyes and looked at the black flame that was quietly burning in Ding Ning's palm in disbelief. He said in surprise, "Yes, it's this kind of aura. I'm sure that the black arrow was burning with this kind of flame."
Ding Ning continued to ask in a deep voice, "Is the relic you mentioned in Kunlun Mountain?"
This time, Song Zhong was even more shocked. He cried out involuntarily, "How did you know?"
But then he suddenly patted his head and said, "I really said something nonsense. Even the black arrow was subdued by you. It seems that you have also been to that relic."
"No, I haven't been to that relic, and I didn't subdue that arrow."
Ding Ning shook his head and denied it, but his eyes were shining with excitement.
Since Song Zhong had entered the relic in Kunlun Mountain and had a fortuitous encounter, it meant that he was a person with great luck. He was a suitable candidate to follow Ding Ning to participate in the battle for luck.
"Then … then how could this black flame …"
Song Zhong did not finish his words, but his meaning was very clear. Since Ding Ning had not been to that relic, how could he have this black flame?
"The Nirvana Heavenly Fire in that relic is not the only one. That arrow belongs to me."
Ding Ning did not mean to explain to him. He said lightly, but he frowned and thought about how to solve Song Zhong's situation. Did he really have to abandon the Cold Flame Spear and practice from the beginning?
That was not impossible, but it would not be in time for the battle for luck. This was not in line with his plan. He could only think of another way to help him break through the current realm without abandoning the Cold Flame Soul-Chasing Spear.
In fact, the Barbarian Physical Exercise Technique could easily solve his problem, but he would never teach Song Zhong this kind of heaven-defying technique that could improve the aptitude of warriors before he really gained his trust.
Song Zhong was dumbfounded. He didn't understand what Ding Ning meant. The black arrow was him?
What a joke. When he first entered the relic, Ding Ning was not even born yet. How could the black arrow belong to him?
However, he had never been a very curious person. If Ding Ning was not willing to tell him, he would not continue to ask.
In any case, Ding Ning was becoming more and more mysterious in his heart. But the more mysterious it was, the more determined he was to become Ding Ning's disciple.
However, he did not know that what Ding Ning said was true. The black arrow was undoubtedly a set of arrows for the Sun Shooting Bow. The Sun Shooting Bow was his, so the set of arrows naturally belonged to him.
However, this also filled him with doubts. Back then, Ming Di had said that the Sun Shooting Bow had been refined by him into a Ming treasure, but he had never told him that the Sun Shooting Bow had a set of arrows.
Did Ming Di himself not know, or did he hide it on purpose?
However, Ding Ning felt that the former was more likely. After all, the Sun Shooting Bow belonged to Da Yi. He had only obtained it by accident and was not the original owner. It was normal that he did not know about the existence of the arrows.
Ding Ning had a vague feeling that if he could obtain the set of arrows, the power of the Sun Shooting Bow would probably increase to another level. If he met Ash Eighteen again, as long as he could widen the distance between them, he would not be as flustered as he was last time.
It had to be said that Ash Eighteen had traumatized him too much. Although he was not the strongest enemy he had ever met, he was undoubtedly the most dangerous one.
As a result, he had developed the habit of thinking of Ash Eighteen as an imaginary enemy. No matter what kind of enemy he met, he would subconsciously compare them to Ash Eighteen.
Although the fake Human Emperor was also very strong and was only slightly weaker than Ash Eighteen in terms of cultivation level, he could not compare to Ash Eighteen in terms of the threat that he could bring to Ding Ning.
Ash Eighteen's battle awareness and murderous intent were cultivated by immersing himself in life and death battles for a long time. The threat and pressure that he could bring to Ding Ning was not something that the fake Human Emperor, who had forcibly raised his cultivation level through excessive haste, could compare to.
To put it bluntly, if the fake Human Emperor's advantage of not being shackled by the Heavenly Dao was ignored, Ding Ning was confident that he could kill the fake Human Emperor within a hundred moves.
Unfortunately, even though the fake Human Emperor had the word 'fake' in front of his name, the word 'Human Emperor' was not fake. Even though he had obtained power by deceiving the Heavenly Dao, Ding Ning could not do anything to him just because he was not shackled by the Heavenly Dao.
This caused Ding Ning to be in a very passive situation. He could not kill the fake Human Emperor, and the fake Human Emperor could not do anything to him. It was a stalemate where no one could do anything to the other.
However, the problem was that the fake Human Emperor had no relatives or friends, while Ding Ning had a family and weaknesses everywhere. If the fake Human Emperor attacked his family and friends, Ding Ning would be in an absolute passive situation.
Moreover, the date of the Battle of Providence was getting closer and closer. Once he left, who could compete with the fake Human Emperor?
Grandfather might be able to do it, but his strength fluctuated wildly. Once he went crazy, his strength would indeed be invincible, but at the same time, he would also lose his rationality and become unrecognizable. Who knew if he would start a massacre on his own people?
In this case, Ding Ning was naturally eager to get the arrows for the Sun-Shooting Bow. Before he left, he had to find a way to lure out the fake Human Emperor and kill him to avoid future troubles.
Seeing that Ding Ning was deep in thought, Song Zhong knelt on the ground with his back straight. He was already an adult, but he still pursed his lips stubbornly like a child, as if he would not give up until Ding Ning took him as his disciple.
Ding Ning stopped thinking and did not let him get up. After staring at him for a long time, he said in a deep voice, "Do you have to take me as your master?"
"Yes!"
Song Zhong nodded heavily and squeezed out a single syllable to confirm the answer.
"A teacher for a day is a father for a lifetime. Once you take me as your master, you must completely obey my orders. Even if I ask you to die, you must not hesitate. Are you sure you want to take me as your master?"
Ding Ning asked again.
"Yes, I won't regret it."
Song Zhong replied with a firm look in his eyes.
Ding Ning could see his sincerity from his expression. But he knew that people like Song Zhong were determined. Even if he came with other goals, he would not reveal any flaws.
But he wasn't scared, because he had plenty of ways to turn Song Zhong into one of his own. He had planned to observe him slowly, but there wasn't much time left before the Battle of Providence, and he had no time to waste on him. So, he could only adopt the simplest way to modify his genes and sign the master-servant contract.
He expressionlessly stretched out his hand and placed it on Song Zhong's head. "If you truly wish to acknowledge me as your master, then don't resist. Open up your mind."
Song Zhong instinctively wanted to resist, but when he thought of Ding Ning's previous words, he immediately calmed down and relaxed his mind.
