Volume 1: Spring in Wulong Town Chapter 73: Ginger is still spicy with age
Tang Zheng was not worried about the speed of star power cultivation. He had the help of the Purple Jade True Luan Pendant and the Brown Ze Pill, and he also developed a cultivation method for double experience. Even if he could not achieve his beautiful expectation of becoming rich overnight, at least he was on par with the top ten graduates of the Aristocratic Academy every year!
As for the secondary equipment, as long as Bailianfang acknowledges the bet, the dagger he bought with money will be enough to lure Lu Huang to Wulong Town.
The biggest trouble now is still martial arts.
He has been practicing this dagger technique for almost a month, and he has only practiced the second move. The first volume of the dagger technique has a total of five moves, namely the opening move, the crown rush, the rain rest, the howling, and the hatred destruction. Not only are the moves connected to each other, but each move is more difficult than the last...
Although the most important thing in practicing martial arts is to proceed step by step, and it is not abnormal to spend a year or two to practice one move, his problem is that he can't just go to Lan Shaoze and say, "Wait for me for three years, and I will make you regret provoking me", right?
If Lan Shaoze could agree, he must be seriously ill.
Tang was thinking about where to find a "skill instructor" and as he was thinking about it, he looked up at Grandpa Ghost...
In terms of strength, Ghost Grandpa is definitely capable, but unfortunately he is not familiar with Ghost Grandpa.
Moreover, being a teacher is a highly professional job. Having something in your head and being able to pour it out are two completely different things. From his observations over the past few days, Ghost Grandpa has never taught Azhi any martial arts.
So he withdrew his gaze and gave up the idea of thinking about the ghost grandfather.
"My friend, you have been looking at me for a long time, but do you still have any confusion about 'Blood Guidance'?" Ghost Grandpa touched his chin and asked Tang Zhengdao with a smile.
"No, no more." Tang Zheng shook his head. "Thank you for your advice, Grandpa Ghost. Before I solve the blood attraction in the astrology, I will not touch the second fate palace casually."
"Well... you are just at the middle level of one star now. It is indeed too early to consider the issue of the second fate palace." Ghost Grandpa smiled and looked into Tang Zheng's eyes.
There were so many things in Tang Zheng's eyes that he couldn't understand even after spending most of his life experiencing them.
However, he was old and wise, and he would not ask directly about things he did not understand. After looking at Tang Zheng for a long time, he did not continue to talk about the matter of Xinghuo Blood Guidance, but said to Tang Zheng: " There is another very important thing I want to remind you, my friend."
"Well, please speak, Grandpa Ghost." Tang Zhengdao.
"You already owe Yingshan a two-star Shadow King Order!" Ghost Grandpa said with a light laugh.
"Ah?" Tang Zheng was stunned. How could he be in debt for no apparent reason?
Moreover, if it was money owed, it would be easy to deal with, but what the hell was owing the Shadow King's Order?
Grandpa Ghost always spoke slowly and leisurely, "Last night, did you ask Azhi, a two-star warrior on the Shadow Power List, to help you kill a two-star warrior named Feng Le, and kill a one-star peak warrior named Lan Yanyi for you?"
"Ah, puff..." Azhi sneezed, and the pen in his hand poked a big ink ball on the paper.
He was simply stunned!
That’s not how the Shadow King Order is calculated!
That’s definitely not how it’s calculated!
Tang Zheng's name hadn't even been added to the Shadow Powerful List, and going out with him didn't go through the process of issuing a mission. No matter how you look at it, Tang Zheng wasn't asking him to help, and he certainly didn't owe Yingshan the Shadow King Order...
So, Grandpa Ghost is just fooling around, pure fooling around!
But the effect of the deception obviously shocked Azhi even more.
"If you owe a Shadow King Order, you must repay it three to seven times, depending on the circumstances. If you don't repay it within a year, the repayment amount will be doubled, and this will happen every year. If you don't repay a Shadow King Order for three consecutive years, Yingshan will hunt you down to the end..." said the Ghost Grandpa with a smile.
"So when I ask Azhi to help, I owe him a two-star Shadow King Order, right? How many do I need to pay back?" Tang Zheng asked.
“Oh, hehe, hehe…” Grandpa Ghost laughed for a long time before he said, “Then I need to see your ranking on the Shadow Powerful List first, then I can determine how many you need to pay back. The higher your ranking, the lower the amount you need to pay back.”
"Okay... then take a look at where I rank." Tang Zhengdao.
I saw Ghost Grandpa take out something that looked very similar to the star-detecting plate from his pocket and covered it with a layer of light red star power.
Tang Zheng just leaned over when he heard Ghost Grandpa ask, "The Shadow Powerful List is different from the Star Powerful List. The Star Powerful List is all real names, but the Shadow Powerful List can be pseudonymous. What's your name?"
"Long Aotian?" Tang Zheng said casually.
"No, I already have one." Ghost Grandpa shook his head.
Tang Zheng's eye twitched: "Then, Dongfang Bubai?"
Grandpa Ghost checked and said, "It's already there."
"Ahem." Tang Zheng said, "Old Wang next door?"
"Yes." replied Ghost Grandpa.
“Three-season rice!”
"I still have it."
"impossible……"
"It's true!" Ghost Grandpa was helpless.
Tang Zheng racked his brains for a long time, but not only could the words "upright" and "gentleman" not be used, even "Uni-President" and "Master Kong" were already taken!
How many people are there on the Shadow Powerful List?
Why are there all kinds of aliases? They are already used by strange people.
Tang Zheng was in a trance, and he actually had the feeling of choosing a game ID in his previous life - all the good names were taken by dogs!
He simply found a chair and sat down.
His past life and present life experiences were all spinning in his mind.
He gave up the chance to be reborn and chose to come to this dangerous and strange world. He walked his own path and proved his own truth!
He gave up a precious opportunity to "transform from a speck of dust into a speck of dust made of gold" and took the first step towards a more difficult but more anticipated and exciting path.
As he thought about it, Tang Zheng started to laugh and said to Ghost Grandpa: "Zi Shi!"
Zi time refers to the time from 23:00 midnight to 1:00 in the morning, which is exactly the time when the old day ends and the new day begins!
"Oh? Zishi is the darkest time of the night. Funerals and battlefield cleanups are held at this time, so it is the most unlucky time of the day. No one should use this as an alias." Ghost Grandpa checked it out, "Are you sure you want to use it? "
"Sure, I'll call myself 'Zishi'!" Tang Zheng confirmed his pseudonym on the Shadow Power List with a smile.
Azhi was completely stunned and stood aside for a long time without saying a word.
He is so unconvinced!
He tried his best but failed to get Tang Zheng to take a closer look at the Shadow Powerful List, but Ghost Grandpa just made a casual remark and Tang Zheng was easily included on the list!
Azhi suddenly felt that he still had a lot to learn!
"Can I see now what place I am in?" Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes and looked at Ghost Grandpa with a smile.
"Okay." Ghost Grandpa nodded, closed his eyes and raised his hands.
Dark red lines like ripples rose in the palm of his hand. Azhi had used this on Tang Zheng before. Tang Zheng probably knew that this was their way of judging how many people he had killed, so he stood there without saying a word.
However, Ghost Grandpa's movements were much faster than Azhi's. With a slight push with his left hand, Tang Zheng felt a hot sensation on his body, and five figures appeared in front of him.
Feng Le, Viper, Xiao Gui, the unknown female assassin, and the head of Azhi that was robbed in the inn.
"You are only a mid-level one-star now, but you have already killed a two-star warrior with your own hands, and four one-star warriors. Your ranking should not be too low." Ghost Grandpa put down his hand, and the several dead people in front of Tang Zheng disappeared immediately.
"Only count the kills, not the assists?" Tang Zheng thought of the assassin who was chopped into pieces, and Lan Yanyi who was killed by Azhi.
"Of course not!" Azhi rolled his eyes at him.
Tang Zheng laughed: "Your ranking method of only counting heads is a bit dishonest. Isn't this encouraging fighting among the martial arts world?"
Ah Zhi snorted: "What do you know? If you kill an alien race, the reward will be doubled!"
Tang Zheng was powerless to complain: "But this is even more wrong. A dog's head is more valuable than a human head. What kind of world is this?"
"Can't you just shut up?" Azhi wanted to pounce on him and bite Tang Zheng to death.
While the two were arguing, Ghost Grandpa had already ranked Tang Zheng's alias "Zi Shi": "Not bad, it's ranked 174,621st on the first-star list..."
Tang Zheng's face immediately fell: "Are you sure... this can be called good?"
