A few days later, on the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p, Zhuo Chao reported to w.a.n.g Hao on Ling Xiao, a dark horse that had recently emerged."This Ling Xiao is very strong. He has crushed many level-nine Martial Masters within three moves," said Zhuo Chao solemnly.
"Ling Xiao?" w.a.n.g Hao watched Ling Xiao"s videos for a while, only to put on a thoughtful smile.
"Boss, do you know this guy?" asked Zhuo Chao curiously.
"He used the same gait that my grandmaster taught me last time." w.a.n.g Hao scratched his chin. He had been wondering why n.o.body confronted him when he caused such a huge mess in the No. 3 school, but now that he saw Ling Xiao, he realized that it must"ve been his grandmaster who took care of everything for him.
However, w.a.n.g Hao did not know yet who the grandmaster that taught him the gait after the screening test was yet.
"The same gait?" Zhuo Chao thought for a moment and suddenly remembered the old man who taught w.a.n.g Hao the gait and claimed to be w.a.n.g Hao"s grandmaster after the screening test of the Four Focused Colleges.
"Why did my grandmaster send Ling Xiao here? Is it a warning?" w.a.n.g Hao thought for a moment and realized that it was possible.
"Boss, what do we do now?" Zhuo Chao"s heart palpitated. He did not know that such a big shot had been observing them. He would be doomed if he left a bad impression on the big shot.
"We do what we should do!" w.a.n.g Hao smiled. He was going to crush Ling Xiao with his best effort and force his grandmaster to come out.
He would find out exactly who the man was. If the man was really a Martial Saint, he would say the man"s name before he did bad things in the future, which would earn him more Villain Points.
Zhuo Chao was gloomy. While w.a.n.g Hao wouldn"t be punished as the man"s grand-disciple, he himself certainly did not have impunity!
This Ling Xiao seems strong. He must be a super genius too. Just in case, I"d better train myself in seclusion! w.a.n.g Hao sighed unwillingly. He hated training more than anything else.
Noticing the look on w.a.n.g Hao"s face, Qian Wanyang did not know what to say. Other people wished that they could train 24 hours a day to make themselves stronger, but for w.a.n.g Hao, training for a single day seemed to be intolerable.
But he envied w.a.n.g Hao too, because w.a.n.g Hao made a breakthrough after each training session. It seemed very natural for him.
He couldn"t help but feel the world was unfair when w.a.n.g Hao was advancing faster than people like him who had been training hard every day!
…
On Tianming, after the incident of the s.p.a.ce gem, things were back to be what they were before.
Mercenaries and students flooded toward Tianming again, hunting the zombies and taking away their possessions.
In a city, Li Yunyang was fighting zombies. He had been fighting for two days and two nights. He was exhausted, but he could not allow himself to rest, because the moment he closed his eyes, he would remember w.a.n.g Hao and the feeling of failure.
"I won"t fail. w.a.n.g Hao, I"m going to defeat you…"
Li Yunyang roared, his exhausted body reinvigorated. He raised his Sharp Light high and charged at the zombies ahead of him.
Guan Jieying observed him and nodded his head, satisfied that Li Yunyang had been pursuing w.a.n.g Hao with sweat and willpower since his talent was not as good as w.a.n.g Hao"s.
"Ahhhhhhh…!"
However, Li Yunyang screamed miserably the next second.
Guan Jieying raised his head, only to see that Li Yunyang was surrounded by a bunch of zombies that were biting him crazily.
"Is this his limit?" Guan Jieying"s eyes widened, and a terrifying storm swept across the world, reducing the zombies that were biting Li Yunyang to dust.
"Yunyang, how are you?" Guan Jieying quickly reached Li Yunyang and fed a bottle of recovery drug to him.
"Master, Sharp Light was suddenly gone…" Li Yunyang searched for Sharp Light the moment he woke up.
"Sharp Light is gone?" Stunned, Guan Jieying looked around, only to see no sign of the weapon.
"How did it happen?" Guan Jieying frowned in fury. "Who took Sharp Light?"
"Master, is w.a.n.g Hao behind this?" Li Yunyang suddenly remembered w.a.n.g Hao. After all, w.a.n.g Hao was behaving abnormally when he gave Sharp Light back to them.
"w.a.n.g Hao? That"s impossible! I examined Sharp Light before. There was nothing wrong." Guan Jieying shook his head and looked around. "Someone extremely strong must be lurking here. He"s stronger than me."
"Stronger than you?" Li Yunyang grew vigilant.
"I can"t think of a second reason why Sharp Light would disappear." Guan Jieying"s expression was terrifying now that a thief had stolen his precious weapon.
Thinking about that, Guan Jieying opened his smart wristband and informed the Military Department to deploy troops. He was going to find the thief.
A few hours later, Tianming was surrounded by military wars.h.i.+ps.
In the meantime, the soldiers who were no weaker than Martial Grandmasters captured everybody on Tianming who had a Stealth Cloak, including Xue Qianqin, who was back on Tianming for training.
"Chick, get moving!" A team of soldiers escorted Xue Qianqin to a military camp.
"You jerks dare to capture me? I"ll tell my master what happened here…" Xue Qianqin was infuriated. She had been hunting zombies when the soldiers arrested her without any explanation.
"Tell your master?" The soldiers snorted and said in disdain, "Let me tell you, this is a command from Guan Jieying. Who do you think your master is?"
"Guan Jieying?" Xue Qianqin frowned and thought for a moment. She soon remembered that Guan Jieying was the Martial Emperor who chickened out when he saw her master.
"Xue Qianqin, what happened to you?" Mai Mengmeng approached her, confused.
As if she had been greatly wronged, Xue Qianqin burst into tears in Mai Mengmeng"s arms. "Mengmeng, those guys tied me up for no good reason. I"m going to tell my master…"
"Tell your master?" Shocked, Mai Mengmeng looked at the soldiers in sympathy.
Not far away, Guan Jieying saw everything gloomily. He hadn"t found Sharp Light yet, but he"d already p.i.s.sed off Qiu Linghan. It was true that misfortune liked company!
He could already foresee what would happen when Qiu Linghan came to confront him…
