Martial arts ascend to the gods

Chapter 253 Excuses
After ending the call, Xue Tongming walked back.

Xue Chengsong saw his father's expression ease and asked, "Any news?"

"The current news says that the Ministry of Defense has no plans to expand and has no intention of wiping out Shuangjiao Company in one fell swoop. But after all, they have found evidence of crimes, so they will definitely arrest a few senior executives and impose a large fine on them."

Xue Chengsong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. It doesn't look like a full-blown storm. Any idea what the cause is?"

"No, wait a minute."

Soon, Xue Tongming received calls one after another and made several calls.

At breakfast time, the father and son eat together.

A phone call came in. Xue Tongming put down his chopsticks and answered the call. After listening, a very complicated expression appeared on his face.

Xue Chengsong looked at his father in confusion. He had never seen such a strange expression on his father's face in all these years.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Xue Tongming looked ahead quietly for a long time and then let out a long sigh.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Xue Chengsong's face turned pale. Normally, he could joke with his father, but when something serious happened, his father would not tolerate him at all.

Xue Tongming looked at Xue Chengsong, the sunlight shining on his young face.

Xue Tongming smiled slightly and said, "Dad is indeed old. Sometimes, he has to listen to the opinions of you young people."

Xue Chengsong's heart was pounding, not knowing what big thing had happened.

Xue Tongming smiled and said, "I've heard a lot of rumors about this matter. Just now, I heard another one. Who do you think it's related to?"

"It's hard to guess." Xue Chengsong's legs were still weak and he shook his head gently.

"Three things are certain. First, Shuangjiao Company approached the police station and asked them to investigate the cause of Tian Wenhu's death. Then they approached Zhou Leng."

"Then Zhou Leng..."

Xue Tongming raised his hand and interrupted Xue Chengsong.

"Secondly, the second-in-command of the Xiongjing Police Department called the number one police station in the city to inquire about what was going on. He also implicitly said that we should unite with other systems and not randomly investigate people in the Wuwei system."

Xue Tongming continued, "Third, Wang Boxiong personally led the team and presided over the search without communicating with other systems, especially the police station. You know that Wang Boxiong is also the owner of Ruda Martial Arts Hall and is Zhou Leng's direct superior."

The shadow of Zhou Leng appeared in Xue Chengsong's mind, and he inexplicably thought of Rao Mingxian's words.

"He is good in every way, but he is too soft-hearted..."

Xue Tongming sighed and said, "Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't think there is any connection between them, but after seeing the two innates from the Martial Arts Brigade saving Zhou Leng, I had to make contact."

"This possibility is actually not very high, but it does exist." Xue Chengsong comforted his father.

Xue Tongming shook his head and said, "Wu Wei has wanted to move Shuang Jiao for a long time, but couldn't find a good excuse. This time, he just took advantage of the situation. The fact that Wang Boxiong took advantage of the situation shows how important Zhou Leng is."

"really."

Xue Tongming said: "I will go there in person and collect some high-energy snail shells from my old friends. You can send them over when the time comes."

"it is good."

Xue Tongming never picked up the chopsticks again and kept looking out the window.

Xue Chengsong didn't dare to eat. Looking at his father, he suddenly felt that his father was not omnipotent. He was actually just an ordinary person.

"Oh, four mines, right?"

"it is good."

Previously, it was planned to give half of the shares of the three mines to Zhou Leng.

In the world of ferocious beasts, under the giant frost tree.

More than a hundred star snails formed a circle around Zhou Leng.

Continue to practice the Immortal Star Body.

In the world of will, the shadow of Ceres hangs high in the sky.

Most of its surface is surrounded by a white shimmer.

As the willpower enveloping the Ceres phantom grew stronger, the progress of cultivation became slower and slower.

After so many days, the packaging level barely reaches 90%.

At this moment, the power of will continued to spread on the surface of Ceres's shadow, but it was difficult.

Ultimately, this practice only increased coverage by 1%.

Zhou Leng opened his eyes and took a look at the star snails around him.

Never felt power on the Star Snail.

"Could it be that these are not star snails at all, but just look like them?"

Zhou Leng began to doubt and re-read the golden pages of the Immortal Star Body's cultivation, reading and studying them over and over again.

So far, I haven't been able to gain any power from the shadow of Ceres. I have tried it in the world of ferocious beasts and Blue Star, and I have tried it during the day and at night, but there is no difference.

It was unclear whether there was something wrong with the technique, or that his body was not strong enough, or that the power of Ceres was too weak, and he was practicing in vain.

In the end, Zhou Leng calmed down and practiced step by step.

After all, it is the starry sky martial arts of an advanced civilization. If one can learn it immediately, it might be a fake one.

As for the star snails, there may be too few of them. You can go find Xue Chengsong to buy some, or buy some cheap ones online. If that doesn’t work, ask Molten Hammer and Mountain River Oak for help and purchase them from the Dwarf World and the Giant World.

The high-energy snail shells there are relatively cheap.

I opened the database and searched for the origin of the high-energy snail shells.

The production of high-energy snail shells on Blue Star is small, and in the Giant World it is medium, but in the Dragon World and the Treeman World, there are some rich mines of high-energy snail shells.

The dragon liked shiny things and was fond of collecting high-energy snail shells, filling warehouses with them.

In the world of tree people, high-energy snail shells are regarded as relics of their ancestors. They are not expensive, but they are not willing to trade them.

These two places with the largest production have very little circulation.

Therefore, it became the content of publicity for hype merchants, who wildly promoted how rare high-energy snail shells were in the world of dragons and tree people.

After training, Zhou Leng walked out of the world of ferocious beasts and headed for the martial arts hall.

Today is the monthly exam day for April.

This time, the whole class went directly to the advanced examination room.

For the rest of the day, the whole class repeatedly did two things: first, they watched Zhou Leng's test as spectators, and then they took the test themselves.

After the scores were released, the students became completely numb when they saw the scores exceeding 200+.

Just wait and see the martial arts index and final ranking tomorrow.

After the test, class monitor Wei Hong gave a fair evaluation of Zhou Leng's performance, which was unanimously recognized by his classmates.

"The current test standards are not suitable for a beast like Zhou Lengleng."

Early the next morning, Zhou Leng returned to his class's martial arts hall and chatted with his classmates while waiting for the final ranking results.

As soon as eight o'clock passed, everyone shouted.

"Refreshed! Refreshed!"

"Sure enough, the martial arts index is over 10!" "Shanheyuan is also over 10."

Zhou Leng clicked on the “Rucheng Newcomer List” of Wudao City.

First, Shanheyuan, martial arts index: 11.

Second, Zhou Leng, martial arts index: 10.99.

"10.99, it is indeed the level of the late San Miguel period."

"It's a pity that Zhou Leng is too young and hasn't killed enough vitality monsters. Otherwise, he would have reached level 11 or even level 12."

"No way, there are too many factors in the martial arts index test."

"Those warriors who have been famous for a long time have accumulated their achievements slowly over many years."

"I heard that Shan Heyuan went to the West Sea Demon City a few days ago and killed a large number of sea monsters in the vitality stage."

"I've heard about it too. Especially the scene where one person charged into a large group of sea monsters with over a hundred vitality stages. It was too brutal."

"12 is innate, right?"

"Yes, 12 to 30, it's innate."

"I suspect that, in terms of actual combat alone, many high-index players cannot beat Zhou Leng."

"Of course."

"Zhou Leng, put your index into 10 and look at the Rucheng Qi and Blood Ranking."

Below the innate realm is the Qi and blood realm.

Zhou Leng clicked on the Rucheng Qi and Blood List and projected it onto the wall.

The Rucheng Qi and Blood List includes all the Qi and Blood realm masters in Rucheng.

The masters on the list are all in their prime period.

On the Rucheng Qi and Blood List, the martial arts index of the top three is 11.

Shanheyuan ranked third.

The second one was also an acquaintance.

Zhang Feng.

The son of a congenital master, and one of the eleven people from the Guhe clan who entered the Guhe illusion together.

Zhou Leng didn't expect that he was so strong. He looked like an ordinary warrior.

The next hundred or so people all had the same number: 10.99.

Among them was an acquaintance, my third brother Li Yuanhe.

The index is ranked by time, with Zhou Leng ranking 123.

Everyone looked at those warriors who had scored full marks and talked about it.

"These people have already honed their bodies, Qi, and combat skills to perfection. Many of them will gradually advance to the Xiantian realm."

"In theory, a martial arts index of 11 will definitely be able to advance to the Xiantian level. An index of 10.99 also has a chance. These are the masters that Rucheng has accumulated for decades."

"Once Zhou Leng is promoted to the late stage of vitality, he may reach index 11 and crush the entire city."

"What's Instructor Deng's ranking?"

"Search."

"Ranking... 872, martial arts index 10.95, lower than Zhou Leng."

"He's also a tough guy, awesome."

"Do you think Instructor Deng can beat Zhou Leng and Shan Heyuan in actual combat?"

The whole class was silent.

Wei Hong said: "I suggest you stop saying things that damage the instructor's reputation. Be careful or you will be punished by running."

"Squad leader, one day you can trick Instructor Deng and Zhou Leng into a teacher-student battle, and we can watch it with our melon seeds."

"I think forget it. If our trick fails, they will team up to beat us up, then watch us lying on the ground while cracking sunflower seeds. That would be terrible."

Everyone laughed.

"Shanheyuan's index has reached 11, tied for first place. I wonder when the city-wide Qi and Blood Realm Competition will be held."

"Yes, according to convention, after a tie for first place, as long as someone requests a competition, a competition meeting will be held."

"I watched one a few years ago. It was fantastic. Although it was a bit bloody, it was really enjoyable."

"If it's a competition in Shanheyuan, I'm also ready to go."

"When Zhou Leng's index reaches 11, we will all go and see Zhou Leng crush those competitors."

Zhou Leng looked through the city rankings and saw some familiar faces.

Tian Wenhu's ranking is still hanging on it.

The martial arts index ranking is 10.99.

I estimate that it will be cancelled after this month.

Close the projection and look at the national freshman list.

The first one is still Li Shenkong, who never changes and does not show his martial arts index.

12. Zhang Xinglie, martial arts index: 11.

When Zhou Leng saw this number, he remembered that Zhang Xinglie had entered Xiantian Mountain and Canyun Pillar to practice. There has been no news about him in the past few days, and he is probably hunting monsters in the army.

As expected, he has been promoted to the middle stage of vitality and will soon be promoted to the late stage of vitality.

Zhang Xinglie’s talent is indeed brutal.

Shanheyuan's advantage is the combination of a giant's body and human true energy.

Zhang Xinglie has the balanced talent of a hexagonal warrior. His future promotion speed will far exceed that of Shanheyuan.

But Shan Heyuan advances steadily and the two are bound to meet at the peak of Martial Saint.

It doesn’t matter whether you are faster or slower, what matters is reaching the top.

"Zhou Leng, what's your ranking on the freshman national list?"

19. Zhou Leng, martial arts index: 10.99.

"19." Zhou said coldly.

The class was quiet.

After a long while, Wei Hong said, "Awesome!"

"The top 19 on the national rankings are already considered the top tier of freshmen in the country, or even the world, right?"

"Forget it."
