Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

"Chuncao, who is this?" Ji Ning asked in confusion.

Chuncao was even more puzzled than him. He had thought that Zhang Shan was sent by Ji Ning to protect him, but now it seemed that he wasn't.

“My name is Zhang Shan. I met your father at Winged Serpent Lake a month ago. He guided me on the path of cultivation and helped me a lot,” Zhang Shan said calmly.

"Father? What is he doing at Winged Serpent Lake?" Ji Ning wondered, but on the surface, he nodded to Zhang Shan and said, "I am Ji Ning."

"Zhang Shan."

After the two met, Ji Ning wanted to catch up with Chuncao, but Zhang Shan took out a long spear from his storage arm guard and looked at Ji Ning with a fighting spirit.

"We are both ten-year-old innate beings. It would be a real pity if we didn't have a friendly spar!"

call!

Zhang Shan brandished his spear, stirring up a commotion.

Ji Ning frowned; he felt that Zhang Shan had come to cause trouble!

Chuncao quickly explained, "Young master, please don't be offended! Although this Lord Zhang's style of doing things is a bit eccentric, he is definitely a good person. If it weren't for him, Chuncao would probably not be able to see you again by now!"

"What? Chuncao! What exactly happened to you during this time?!" Ji Ning asked in shock and anger.

Chuncao told Ji Ning about the recent events. After listening, Ji Ning was both angry and scared.

Finally, he sighed and said, "Don't worry, Chuncao, from now on, the Black Fang tribe will be under my protection, Ji Ning's!"

Hearing Ji Ning's assurance, Hei Ya was overjoyed, never expecting that his daughter and Ji Ning had such a deep bond.

Zhang Shan had been waiting for a long time, and seeing that they had finally finished speaking, he urged again, "Ji Ning, come and fight me!"

He needed to test his own strength, and Ji Ning was undoubtedly the best control group.

Ji Ning is currently cultivating the Crimson Bright Nine Heavens Diagram, the most advanced body-refining method in this world, and his visualization method is the Nuwa Diagram, a divine object that even top clans rarely see.

Having mastered the Water-Fire Lotus, Ji Ning was even more adept at both offense and defense, making him invincible in the Innate Realm.

If Zhang Shan can defeat Ji Ning, it means he has already reached the Purple Mansion level of combat power and has a clearer understanding of himself. In the future, he will know where he can go and where he cannot go.

Ji Ning stopped making excuses. After learning that it was Zhang Shan who saved Chuncao, Ji Ning's goodwill towards Zhang Shan increased greatly.

You must understand that Chuncao is family to Ji Ning! And Ji Ning values ​​family ties very much!

"Alright! Let's go spar sometime further away!"

Ji Ning used his movement technique to quickly leave, and Zhang Shan hurriedly followed behind.

"I was careless. I didn't expect Ji Ning's movement skills to be so amazing!" Zhang Shan frowned.

Ahead, Ji Ning revealed a smug smile.

"I've been practicing the Wind Wing Escape Technique that my mother gave me for the past month, and my movement skills have improved significantly. Zhang Shan doesn't seem to be practicing any movement techniques. Should we wait for him?"

Ji Ning slowed down, and the two of them stood almost one in front of the other.

"Have mercy!" Zhang Shan clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Ji Ning frowned. He remembered that the people in this place didn't seem to have the habit of clasping their hands in greeting.

Furthermore, Chuncao had mentioned that Zhang Shan would occasionally make some strange movements, which gave Ji Ning a bold idea.

"Let's give it a try!" Ji Ning thought to himself.

The next moment, water and fire lotus flowers rose from Ji Ning's body, surrounding him in layers.

"This is the Water-Fire Lotus?!" Zhang Shan's eyes lit up. Regardless of its power, the Water-Fire Lotus's appearance alone made people want to learn how to make it!

Zhang Shan laughed loudly, "Brother, you really have some good tricks up your sleeve! But! We're not bad either!"

Zhang Shan gripped his spear tightly and charged out in an instant!

Whoosh!

The spear possessed a sharpness that Ji Ning could not comprehend, and it easily pierced through Ji Ning's Water and Fire Lotus.

"What?!" Ji Ning exclaimed in shock!

His newly developed technique was easily countered by his opponent!

He quickly used his movement technique, as if a pair of wings had sprouted from his back, instantly creating distance between himself and Zhang Shan.

Seeing this, Zhang Shan took out his large bow and drew it fully in an instant!

A golden arrow appeared on the bowstring!

"Can we accept it? Probably not, right?"

The moment Zhang Shan let go, he still dispersed his mental energy, and this sword strike only carried the power of his current cultivation level.

Whoosh!

The sound of something cutting through the air rang out, and the arrow arrived in front of Ji Ning almost instantly.

"This arrow is not as good as that shot. He held back." Ji Ning almost instantly came to the conclusion.

With the wings unfolding, Ji Ning narrowly dodged the arrow.

The next moment, Ji Ning drew his two swords from his back and ran towards Zhang Shan.

"Well done!" Zhang Shan laughed, put away his great bow, gripped his spear, and engaged Ji Ning in fierce combat.

"Dripping Water Sword Technique!"

Ji Ning drew his sword and attacked a single point countless times in an instant, like drops of water falling on a stone and eventually piercing through it!

Zhang Shan turned his body, his spear swirling at his waist, channeling his own power into the spear, and swept it out horizontally!

"Total Annihilation!"

boom!

The two techniques clashed, instantly creating a deafening roar!

The earth cracked open, and the two were sent flying backwards at the same time.

Ji Ning thought to himself, "This Zhang Shan is truly formidable. He and I are both at the early stage of the Innate Realm, but my strongest defensive Water-Fire Lotus is completely useless against him, and my Dripping Water Sword Technique was easily neutralized by him..."

Although Zhang Shan had just called out the name of the move, Ji Ning, being a professionally trained swordsman, could tell at a glance that Zhang Shan's move was simply adding his spiritual power to the weapon.

It is only through its delicate application that it can unleash power comparable to its own Dripping Water Sword Technique.

"Sure enough, geniuses are emerging one after another in the outside world. I haven't even left Yanshan yet, and I've already met a peer whose talent far surpasses mine!"

On the other side, Zhang Shan planted his feet on the ground, bent his legs slightly, and suddenly charged out!

"Splitting Mount Hua with all my might!"

Wow!

Zhang Shan burst out of the smoke, his spear gleaming with golden light, and smashed straight down towards Ji Ning!

"Damn it!" Ji Ning was shocked and raised his two swords to block Zhang Shan's attack.

boom! !

"So heavy!" Ji Ning gritted his teeth and resisted, water and flames appearing on his twin swords as he frantically resisted Zhang Shan's attack.

At the same time, Zhang Shan saw that Ji Ning had used the water and fire technique again, and knew that Ji Ning had reached his limit, so he withdrew his strength and retreated.

"It seems this is the best we can do for today," Zhang Shan said with a smile.

Ji Ning nodded with a wry smile: "I never expected there to be someone as powerful as you in Yanshan. I used to think I was a genius, but now it seems I underestimated everyone."

Seeing Ji Ning's disappointment, Zhang Shan comforted him, "Don't say that, brother. To be honest, the reason I have the strength I have today is because I ate a spiritual fruit before, which gave me an early lead over my peers. But the real path of cultivation is still very long, and I can't stay ahead forever."

“Yes, the path of cultivation is very long.” Ji Ning looked at the sky and suddenly asked, “Brother, you…”

At the last moment, Ji Ning still didn't voice his doubts.

Whether it is or not, it no longer matters.

Zhang Shan scratched his head, unsure what to say.

However, Zhang Shan said to Ji Ning, "Brother, I plan to leave Yanshan and go out to see a wider world. You are quite strong, why don't you come with me?"

Ji Ning was tempted for a moment, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Forget it, my strength is still a bit lacking. Now that I've been training outside for some time, it's time to go home."

Zhang Shan looked regretful, but he also knew Ji Ning's personality; Ji Ning valued family very much.

So he stopped trying to persuade him and clasped his hands in a fist salute, saying, "Brother, let's meet at the summit someday!"

Ji Ning also clasped his hands in a fist salute and said, "Alright! See you at the summit!"

Zhang Shan carried his spear and strolled away.

Although he had already decided to curry favor with Ji Ning, that was a matter for the future; for now, it was enough for both sides to have an impression of each other.

Now, Zhang Shan first needs to find a place to learn some proper cultivation methods.

"I don't even have a cultivation technique right now. If I want to break through to the Purple Mansion Realm, I need a technique, preferably one that can lead to the Celestial Immortal realm!"

Carrying beautiful dreams for the future, Zhang Shan left the Black Tooth Tribe.

~

"Go faster!"

"You damned slaves! Those who aren't dead, get running!"

Snapped!

The whip cracked through the air, producing a series of soft, popping sounds.

Zhang Shan hid in the shadows, observing the group of people.

"Slaves?" Zhang Shan wondered. Strangely enough, he had lived in the primeval forest for ten years without ever seeing a single person, but ever since he met Temu Zhan that day, he had encountered one person after another.

"Could it be that the feng shui of that place is bad, so no one goes there?"

Ignoring the slaves, Zhang Shan continued his journey.

He took the map he had obtained from Ji Yichuan and headed out of Yanshan.

The strongest cultivator in Yanshan is only at the Purple Mansion Realm. Given Zhang Shanxian's combat strength, cultivators at the Purple Mansion Realm are no match for him.

Therefore, it's perfectly normal to want to leave this place.

After traveling for more than three months, Zhang Shan finally left the Yanshan area.
