Chapter 293 Undermining
Outside the alloy house, after everyone's emotions had subsided,
After sending some low- and mid-level martial artists back to prepare for battle, only some high- and sixth-level martial artists remained in the passage. They wanted to know in detail what had happened, especially what was the situation with Li Changsheng. Originally, it was said that he had died in battle, but in the end, he became an eighth-level martial artist.
Li Changsheng also flew down from the sky. Seeing everyone staring at him, he said calmly, "Why are you all looking at me?"
"You—you've really reached the eighth rank?"
Lu Fengrou asked in surprise. She couldn't believe it. She had gone to great lengths and suffered so much to break through to the seventh rank. She had come here to see off an old friend, but not only was he not dead, he had even reached the eighth rank. How could Lu Fengrou possibly feel at peace with this? She couldn't feel at all at all.
Li Changsheng smiled without saying a word, neither nodding nor shaking his head, pretending to be an expert.
Hmph, would I tell you that I'm a fake?
Anyway, with me standing here and my golden bones revealed, who dares to say I'm not an eighth-rank official?
Do not believe?
I possess the Golden Bones, so who can question Lao Tzu!
Although that's what he thought, Li Changsheng was still a little anxious.
We need to resolve the issue of his mental strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, being a fake eighth-rank cultivator isn't enough. If something really happens later, he'll be exposed. "Lu Hao, what's wrong with him? Wasn't he supposed to have killed an eighth-rank cultivator at the sixth rank and be dead?"
Seeing that Li Changsheng didn't seem to be about to speak, Lü Fengrou directly asked Lu Hao.
"Ahem, teacher, Teacher Li can now be said to be at the half-step eighth rank. You also know his situation. After killing that eighth rank, Teacher Li was indeed going to die. As a result, Fang Ping took him to the ninth-rank royal city, where he consumed dozens of kilograms of life essence in the main city."
He has successfully recovered and can now sense his spiritual power. He has also forged his Golden Body to the next level. Now, he is only missing spiritual power to reach the eighth rank, so he is considered a half-step eighth rank.
Lu Hao told Li Changsheng about his situation without hesitation, since it wasn't exactly a secret anyway.
"What do you mean by half-step eighth rank? I am the eighth rank, okay? Look at the characteristics of the eighth rank, isn't it a golden body?"
"I already have a golden body, I'm now an eighth-rank cultivator!" Li Changsheng, seeing that Lu Hao had revealed all his secrets, immediately retorted. Lu Hao glanced at Li Changsheng speechlessly and didn't say anything. "You only talk about the golden body, but you don't even mention the eighth-rank spiritual power." "You mean Fang Ping entered the royal city, seized the life essence, and then revived Li Changsheng?"
Lu Fengrou asked incredulously.
It was simply unbelievable. What kind of place was the Royal City? Even a ninth-grade Grandmaster couldn't enter, yet Fang Ping had gone in? And he even stole the essence of life?
"Yes, that's pretty much the situation."
"Did Fang Ping really blow up the royal city?" Lu Fengrou asked, recalling the battle achievements Fang Ping had initially reported.
"It wasn't him, it was me who did it."
Lu Fengrou had just relaxed after hearing the first half of Lu Hao's sentence when she was shocked again by the next sentence.
"You did this? You got into the royal city too?"
"Yes, Fang Ping and I didn't enter the same city. We joined forces. He went to steal the essence of life, and after I entered, I used my mental power to blow up the energy mine. Then that ninth-rank official had to go back, and that's how the passage was opened up."
Lu Hao said.
Watching Lu Hao speak so casually, Lü Fengrou felt her entire worldview was shocked. Was it her problem or the problem of this world? When did infiltrating the royal city become so easy?
Luo Yichuan, standing next to him, wasn't much better off. He thought Lu Hao was joking, but seeing that the Grandmaster from Nanjiang behind him didn't refute him but instead looked at him with agreement, Luo Yichuan felt a tearing sensation in his heart. Was he just ignorant?
Fang Ping, meanwhile, was there telling his classmates about his experiences.
Lu Hao, who could send a seventh-rank official flying into the royal city with a single kick and freely pick up life essence and other treasures, did not expose the wolfish nature of Lu Hao when he was being chased. He could still cheer everyone up.
Moreover, Fang Ping's half-sack of spoils was indeed quite convincing.
Meanwhile, at the Jingwu team's location, Li Hansong was also reporting on the situation. He poured out all his grievances from the past three days with a sigh. Apart from the initial relatively smooth progress, the rest of the time had been spent escaping and digging tunnels.
"Teacher, we at Jingwu need to add a few more courses. We need to teach the students how to dig tunnels quickly and how to escape quickly, otherwise it will be too difficult to survive in the underground world," Li Hansong sincerely expressed his thoughts. The person in charge of Jingwu, however, looked completely bewildered. He glanced at the demon Fang Ping, who was confidently recounting his rampage in the underground world.
Qin Fengqing and Wang Jinyang, on the other hand, remained silent, acting as if they were experts.
How come Li Hansong is doing so poorly here?
I spent several days being hunted, either digging tunnels to hide or running away.
Did they enter the same chapter?
Moreover, Li Hansong was already a fifth-rank cultivator when he entered, higher than Fang Ping's level. How could the person in charge of Jingwu be watching Li Hansong still talking incessantly? He couldn't help but feel somewhat embarrassed.
Everyone else is talking about how many powerful figures they've killed, how many battles they've fought, and how much they've gained. But for them, it's all about running away.
"Hansong, we'll talk about that when we get back. Did you find anything in the underground cave?" the Jingwu leader interrupted Li Hansong and asked.
"When we get back, we must practice our footwork diligently—"
The person in charge of Jingwu didn't ask any more questions. He felt that his martial arts club president had changed and was no longer the Li Hansong he knew.
Looking at Li Hansong, who was still chattering away, the person in charge thought that he would have to have a good talk with the principal when he got back, and see if he could correct Li Hansong's behavior or not let him come out again. He had only been out for a few days, and he had already become completely unrecognizable.
In the temporary military camp, Lu Hao and Fang Ping both shared their experiences.
Compared to Lu Hao's concise and straightforward account of his infiltration of the royal city...
Fang Ping's version was much more exaggerated, as exciting as a storyteller's narration.
The sheer grandeur of the ninth-grade willow tree, the hardships of infiltrating the mine, the perils of stealing the essence of life, the willow tree's rage, the pursuit by the high-ranking cultivators—
"Life essence flowing like a river," "Energy stones everywhere," "A single breath can boost your cultivation."
He spewed out all sorts of words, describing every aspect of the scene so vividly it made you feel like you were there.
As Lu Hao listened from the side, he thought that there would be no enemies in the future. This guy must be a master storyteller.
As everyone listened to Fang Ping's narration, it felt as if they had entered the royal city themselves, and they saw the towering willow tree that reached into the clouds.
Having witnessed the life essence flowing like a river, everyone believed Fang Ping's experience. After all, his description was so realistic that no one who hadn't been there could possibly describe it so vividly.
