"Many thanks, Brother Shi, for protecting Ling. I can't thank you enough. May I ask what Brother Shi's presumptuous request was? As long as I can do it, I will do my best. " When Ling Dong saw the seven corpses scattered around Shi Qianbi, he hurriedly asked sincerely.
At this moment, Shi Qianbi had already entered the category of Ling Dong's friends. In Ling Dong's understanding, friends were made with actions, not words.
However, facing Ling Dong's sincere inquiry, Shi Qianbi instead revealed a doubtful expression. After pondering for a moment, he hesitantly asked, "May I know when Brother Ling broke through to Seventh Level Star Transformation?"
Originally, according to Shi Qianbi's initial judgment of Ling Dong's rapid breakthroughs, he thought that Ling Dong must have been stuck at the peak of Seventh Level Star Transformation for at least two or three years. Otherwise, he wouldn't have such a fierce breakthrough.
However, Ling Dong's breakthrough to the Eighth Level of the Star Transformation Realm didn't count. His cultivation soared to the peak of the Eighth Level of the Star Transformation Realm, then to the Ninth Level of the Star Transformation Realm, and then to the peak of the Ninth Level of the Star Transformation Realm. This kind of abnormal breakthrough speed caused Shi Qianbi to seriously doubt his previous judgment.
"This …" Ling Dong's expression was somewhat conflicted. If Shi Qianbi had asked this question before he became a protector, Ling Dong would have unhesitatingly answered that it was two or three years ago. However, now that Shi Qianbi had already approached the ranks of Ling Dong's friends, this question made it somewhat difficult for Ling Dong.
If he answered truthfully, it would really be too shocking. However, after thinking for a moment, Ling Dong made a decision. Since he had just handed his life over to Shi Qianbi, why should he be afraid of such a small secret?
"Three months. Three months ago, I broke through to the peak of Seventh Level Star Transformation." Ling Dong replied without hiding anything.
"Hiss … Three months ago …"
Ling Dong didn't know that the answer he gave to Shi Qianbi was more than just shocking. It completely subverted Shi Qianbi's understanding of the cultivation speed of a martial artist. In three months, his cultivation had risen from the Sixth Level to the peak of the Ninth Level. This speed …
Just thinking about it made Shi Qianbi extremely shocked and suspicious. If he had not seen it with his own eyes today and only heard it from others, Shi Qianbi would not have believed such a ridiculous thing even if he was beaten to death.
"Brother Ling …" Shi Qianbi's mouth twitched, and he swallowed hard, suppressing the words he was about to blurt out. Shi Qianbi originally wanted to ask when Ling Dong had crossed the Celestial Transformation Thunder Tribulation; however, when the words reached the tip of his tongue, he did not dare to ask. He was afraid that Ling Dong's answer would once again shock him, shattering his pride and self-confidence.
One had to know that if there was a ranking of the cultivation resources a martial artist could enjoy in the Wood Puppet Realm, Shi Qianbi would definitely rank in the top twenty. Shi Qianbi did not know about Ling Dong's cultivation resources, but Shi Qianbi knew about the cultivation resources of the True Dipper Sect's Sect Master. He was not even in the top one hundred.
"Brother Shi? If you have any doubts, feel free to ask. Ling will tell you everything he knows. "Ling Dong asked doubtfully.
"Uh … nothing." Shi Qianbi, who was deeply shocked, waved his hand helplessly at Ling Dong. He secretly cursed, "Don't you know that your breakthrough speed has greatly affected me?"
"It's like this. Brother Ling, do you know about the influence of the Vermillion Bird Galaxy's Millennium Elite Battle on the various Star Realms?" Shi Qianbi suddenly changed the topic and asked a question that surprised Ling Dong.
After thinking for a moment, Ling Dong replied, "Could it be … that the Vermillion Bird Galaxy's Millennium Elite Battle's achievements also affect the various Star Realms? Or are there rewards and punishments? "
Ling Dong's speculation was very simple. The participating teams of the various Star Realms were led by important figures of the Celestial Monarch's Estates. Moreover, the various Star Realms would also reward the sects of the participants. It was clear that this matter had a certain impact on the various Star Realms.
"Brother Ling is so smart!" After praising Ling Dong's reaction, Shi Qianbi's expression suddenly became serious. "Brother Ling is right. The results of the participating cultivators of the various Star Realms at each stage will be ranked, and the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's Estate will reward and punish the various Star Realms based on this ranking!"
"Reward and punishment? What kind of reward and punishment? " Ling Dong asked. Ling Dong really could not think of what kind of reward and punishment the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's Estate would give that would make the subordinate Celestial Monarch's Estate feel pain.
"Auxiliary Star Realms!" Shi Qianbi's answer was only three words.
"Auxiliary Star Realms?" Ling Dong did not understand this for a moment.
In response to Ling Dong's question, Shi Qianbi sighed slightly. "The reward and punishment is very simple. The Celestial Monarch's Estates that are ranked in the bottom three will have their jurisdiction over one or two auxiliary Star Realms taken away according to different rules. Then, they will be rewarded to the Celestial Monarch's Estates that are ranked in the top three."
Speaking up to here, Shi Qianbi paused for a moment and said, "At most, the Silk Wood Realm had their jurisdiction over five auxiliary Star Realms taken away. At its peak, the Silk Wood Realm had 21 auxiliary Star Realms, and now, the Silk Wood Realm only has nine auxiliary Star Realms left."
"Ah … so ruthless?" This time, it was Ling Dong's turn to suck in a breath of cold air. Taking back the jurisdiction over the auxiliary Star Realms was definitely cutting off the heart of any Celestial Monarch. "This … Brother Shi, what do you want me to do, please tell me?" In fact, when he asked this sentence, Ling Dong had already vaguely guessed what Shi Qianbi was going to say.
"It's very simple. From now on, Brother Ling and I will walk with our backs facing each other, slowly patrolling the stars in this star. If in the process of patrolling, you can recognize the Silk Wood Realm's martial artists, pull them along. If necessary, you can also cheat a little." The corners of Shi Qianbi's mouth suddenly revealed a trace of a strange smile.
"Cheat?" Hearing this, Ling Dong could not help but be stunned. In such a cruel situation, he really did not think of a way to cheat.
"Yes, cheat a little. For example, Brother Ling can casually kill one or two martial artists from other Star Realms. Don't collect the Vermillion Bird Battle Talismans they drop, but let them collect them. I believe that in this way, the number of Silk Wood Realm's martial artists who can qualify for the competition this time will increase by a lot!" Shi Qianbi said.
"Like this? This matter is indeed not difficult for me. However, after meeting them, how can I make them believe my intentions for coming here? If I can't prove my identity, they will fight me to the death, and that will be troublesome, "Ling Dong said worriedly.
Hearing this, Shi Qianbi smiled casually. "This is simple. In any case, when we came to the Vermillion Bird Star Monarch's residence, almost all the participating martial artists have seen Brother Ling's amazing attacks. I believe that it will have a certain impact on Brother Ling. At that time, Brother Ling, you can pull those who believe you. As for those who do not believe you and attack you … "
Speaking up to here, Shi Qianbi's face turned serious, revealing a hint of killing intent. "As for those who do not believe, that is their misfortune. They will all be killed, and their souls will be destroyed …"
In that instant, Shi Qianbi's bloody killing intent seemed to overflow from the corners of his mouth. This also made Ling Dong realize that Shi Qianbi was also a ruthless and merciless person.
"Okay, with Brother Shi's words, I can do whatever I want. Brother Shi, please rest assured that I can bring one more. As long as Ling Ling has the strength, I will bring one more!" Ling Dong promised.
"Okay, the rise and fall of the Wood Puppet Realm will depend on Brother Ling! Brother Ling, when you were a rank seven Star Transformation Realm martial artist, you were able to force me into a dangerous situation. Now that you are at the peak of rank nine Star Transformation Realm, is there any need to talk about your strength? "
Speaking up to here, Shi Qianbi suddenly bowed deeply toward Ling Dong. Then he stood up and pointed. "Brother Ling, time is of the essence. How about you go to the east and I go to the west, with our backs facing each other?"
"Uh … Wait a moment."
Ling Dong's answer couldn't help but make Shi Qianbi very surprised. Shi Qianbi originally thought that Ling Dong wouldn't have any objections.
Under Shi Qianbi's surprised expression, he saw Ling Dong suddenly take out a jade talisman from his chest. Pinching it in his hand, he lightly closed his eyes. Almost at the same time, the jade fragment in Ling Dong's hand shot out a shocking red brilliance.
"A String Connection?" Almost at the instant he saw this red light, Shi Qianbi's eyes suddenly widened. Then he pointed at Ling Dong and exclaimed, "You're actually holding the only pair of A String Connection that has been passed down for generations. You really do have an affair with Sister Yuhan."
After being surprised, Shi Qianbi sighed again. "A String Connection is a special talisman with extremely weak effects. It has almost no use in the outside world, but in this star inside this star, it is another excellent cheating method. Only the mysterious power of A String Connection can break the law of this star that prevents any method of communication."
"Uh … This A String Connection has been passed down for generations only for one pair? This star inside this star can cut off any method of communication? " Hearing Shi Qianbi's words, Ling Dong who had just sensed Bai Yuhan's approximate direction couldn't help but reveal an extremely astonished expression.
"Of course, the design of this Elite Battle's elimination round is almost perfect. There are almost no loopholes that can be exploited. Only the legendary A String Connection drawn by the blood in the eyes of a lover who is exceptionally infatuated but can't be reunited and can only look at the bright moon every day can ignore the law of separation of this star inside this star." Shi Qianbi explained.
"Blood in the eyes of a lover who is looking at the autumn moon?" Ling Dong looked at the A String Connection talisman that was slowly receding with the red light in his hand. His eyes shot out a trace of a different expression. Ling Dong seemed to feel that this A String Connection talisman contained a different kind of feeling from Bai Yuhan.
"Ah, Brother Ling, you have to keep this A String Connection drawn by the blood in the eyes of a lover who is looking at the autumn moon well. It is said that this A String Connection talisman also has other extremely mysterious uses. It is just that there is only one pair at present, and the other uses haven't been discovered by the world yet. Of course, the most precious thing is Sister Yuhan's true feelings for you … "
At this point, Shi Qianbi couldn't help but shake his head. He sighed and said, "Who would've thought, who would've thought that Brother Ling would have such a method. I'm really impressed. Brother Ling has given me too many surprises, to the point that I can't keep up with them …"
"The future is long, Brother Shi has plenty of time to understand Ling. Brother Shi, time is of the essence, you and I will take our leave now. You go east, I go west! " After saying this, Ling Dong cupped his hands and shot towards the west like lightning. According to Ling Dong's senses just now, Bai Yuhan was in the west.

Zhu San, who was originally disgusted by eating half a bowl of porridge, actually ate half a bowl of tomato noodles in the afternoon. Moreover, he still had the desire to eat more, but he didn't dare to eat more.
