Chapter 181: Giant Company Trial
The next morning.
Qiuxue wanted to talk to Xia Ping, but she was told by the princ.i.p.al that Xia Ping was going to take a leave of more than a month, and he might not come back until the college entrance examination began.
"What?!"
When she heard this news, Qiuxue was instantly angry to the point of being half dead. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d actually took leave and left in an extremely relaxed manner, but she was in trouble. She was targeted by so many fanatical fans, and she didn"t know how long she would be in trouble.
Particularly those perverts who frequently wait in ambush at the school gate. They followed her relentlessly every day. Although she was not afraid, who would feel good being followed like this?
Initially, she wanted to have a talk with Xia Ping to settle this matter, but who would have thought that that b.a.s.t.a.r.d would slip away and even take a leave of more than a month without even seeing him? This joke was too big.
"Just you wait; you actually brought me so much trouble." "Once you return, I"ll surely teach you a lesson." Qiuxue gritted her teeth and was extremely furious. She"d finally remembered about it.
When Xia Ping came back, she would definitely take revenge on him. She would make sure that the b.a.s.t.a.r.d suffered until he vomited.
…
Meanwhile, Xia Ping had arrived at Tianshui City"s airport. Huge s.p.a.ceships were docked in the open s.p.a.ce, and there was a lot of traffic. Countless tourists were entering and exiting the airport, and it was very lively.
"Xia Ping!"
As soon as he entered the airport, Xia Ping saw a 1.9-meter-tall man walking towards him. He was wearing a white training suit and looked extremely strong.
Behind him were four or five men in black. All of them had extraordinary auras. Their temples were protruding and exuded a fiendish aura. They looked like ferocious beasts from the forest.
However, in Xia Ping"s opinion, these men in black were not even worthy of carrying shoes when compared to this man in white training garb.
He stood on the spot like a small mountain. His aura blended with nature, and when he walked, it was as if he had merged with the earth. Every move he made carried the aura of a Grandmaster.
Even though there were people walking around the airport and countless tourists walking around, it was bustling and very crowded. However, when this man walked over, he had a unique aura around him.
The surrounding tourists subconsciously dodged and opened up a path. Even the tourists who were coming towards them subconsciously avoided them and walked far away. The powerful aura formed a circle and isolated the surroundings.
"You are?"
Xia Ping looked at the burly man with a puzzled look.
"Haha."
The big man in white laughed loudly. "I"m Elder Fang"s disciple. My name is Gu Peng, and I"m also the one who"s here to welcome you to the trial. "You also know that my master is usually quite busy, so let me handle this matter."
Saying so, he shook Xia Ping"s hand.
Immediately, Xia Ping felt a mountainous force coming from the other party"s hand. Even if it wasn"t intentional, it was enough to make one feel an extremely strong sense of oppression.
However, the other party didn"t have any ill intentions. He merely shook her hand and let go.
"En? "This power, could it be that you have advanced to the martial artist realm?" The eyes of the white-clothed man, Gu Peng, revealed a glimmer of light. "But Master previously said that you are an expert at the ninth stage of the Martial Apprentice realm. "In just a week, you have advanced to the martial artist realm?"
"I was lucky." Xia Ping nodded and said humbly. He was also a little surprised that he could see his current strength just by shaking hands. His eyesight was truly astonishing.
"This isn"t luck. It"s strength. It"s talent."
The white-clothed Gu Peng"s att.i.tude became even more enthusiastic. "It seems that master really found a good seedling." "I reckon that you also have a 40–50% chance of pa.s.sing this trial."
"Let"s go. Time is of the essence. "I"ll tell you the details after we board the s.p.a.ceship."
With that, he waved his hand and let Xia Ping follow him into the depths of the airport.
40-50% chance?!
Xia Ping"s eyes flickered. With his strength, he could be said to be the number one high school student in Tianshui City, but in the other party"s eyes, he only had a 50% chance of pa.s.sing?
This wasn"t intentionally making things difficult for him. Rather, it was because the other party clearly understood his strength that he came to this conclusion. If even an expert like this white-clothed, large man thought like this, one could imagine just how difficult this trial was.
However, Xia Ping did not mind. After all, he still had many powerful trump cards. No matter how powerful the white-robed man was, it was impossible for him to know his full strength.
With that thought in mind, he followed Gu Peng and the others.
A few minutes later, Xia Ping saw a small black s.p.a.ceship parked on the flat ground of the airport. It was streamlined and looked like a science-fiction movie. It could fit more than ten people, and it was not very big.
However, he could sense that this small s.p.a.ceship exuded a ferocious aura. It seemed to be loaded with a large number of lethal weapons. Once activated, it would be able to break free from the encirclement even if surrounded by a swarm of monsters.
Rumble!
When Xia Ping, the man in white, and the others boarded the s.p.a.ceship, the door closed, and they immediately flew into the sky. They did not waste any time at all.
"May I ask where we are going this time?" After sitting down, Xia Ping immediately asked.
Gu Peng smiled slightly. "Black Moon City."
"What? To Black Moon City?
When he heard this name, Xia Ping couldn"t help but raise his brows. He originally thought that he would rarely have the chance to continue heading to Black Moon City in this lifetime. After all, he had caused a huge disaster in Black Moon City previously.
Even though he believed that he did not reveal any flaws, there was no need to. He did not want to return to such a dangerous place again.
"It seems you also know what kind of place Blackmoon City is."
Gu Peng laughed out loud. "As everyone knows, it is a city of the underworld." Chaos, murder, sin, and all the other evils of the world are gathered here. "It is practically the kingdom of the underworld, the lawless land of the Federation."
"Anyone who mentions Black Moon City will frown and view it as a forbidden city. "That is a place where ordinary people cannot go."
"But do you know why the federal government allowed such a Sin City to exist?"
He looked at Xia Ping.
"I don"t know," Xia Ping replied honestly.
Gu Peng paused for a moment and said in a low voice, "It"s very simple." It"s because there"s an ancient ruin, the Blackmoon PaG.o.da, in Blackmoon City, and the owner of this Blackmoon PaG.o.da is a King Realm expert called the Blackmoon King."
"That place is the territory of the Dark Moon King." "Even the federal government cannot control it!"
"As time went on, this place became the neutral lands, a place where many underworld organizations gathered."
"Of course, there are many reasons why this place is so prosperous."
He simply explained the origins of Blackmoon City.
Xia Ping"s eyes flashed. Even though he knew that the origins of Darkmoon City weren"t simple, he"d never imagined that Sin City would be so terrifying. It was actually the territory of a King"s Realm expert.
It was merely a piece of territory, and with just a single sentence, even the government was unable to administer it. No one dared to act rashly and become a lawless place. This was the might of King Realm experts.
