Tianming took a deep breath, clenched his sweaty hands, looked at Yue'er beside him, and silently prayed: Yue'er, please give me strength, I need your encouragement! Shaoyu curled his lips and snorted coldly: "You go first."

Tianming sighed inwardly. There was nothing he could do but bite the bullet and go for it.

"Ha!" Tianming roared! He got into position and charged forward, throwing a punch at Shaoyu's face!

With a "snap!" Shao Yu simply flicked his hand, completely neutralizing Tianming's attack and using his profound internal strength to push him back several steps.

"Hmph! Flaws everywhere! You dare to call yourself the Sword Saint's disciple! You're just a boastful little man!" Shao Yu sneered, mocking Tianming.

"Alright! It's my turn!"

Shao Yu got into position and charged towards Tianming. His movements were so fast that in the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Tianming, throwing a punch. Tianming had no time to react and could only try to block. Boom! Tianming was knocked back several steps by the punch until he crashed into a tree!

Damn it! This Shao Yu is so powerful! But with Yue'er watching, I can't back down! Tianming thought to himself.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Prepare to die!" Shao Yu gave Tianming no time to react, pressing his advantage. Tianming had no chance to retaliate, and even parrying was extremely difficult...

Half an incense stick's time had passed, and Tianming was still at a disadvantage, his body already covered in bruises, but Shaoyu showed no sign of slowing down his attacks. Boom! Tianming was blasted back several steps by another punch.

"Ha..." Tianming gasped for breath, thinking to himself: Is Shaoyu really a normal person? Doesn't he get tired? If this continues, I'm sure I'll lose miserably. What will Yue'er think of me then? No! I have to think of a way!

At the same time, Shao Yu thought to himself: How can Tianming be so resilient? It looks like the next punch will decide the outcome! Shao Yu began to transfer all his strength to his right hand and charged towards Tianming!

The outcome is decided! The spectators all closed their eyes; struck by that punch, Tianming would either die or be seriously injured!

"Look! It's the King of Qin!" Tianming shouted. Everyone knew he was lying, except for Shaoyu.

"King Qin! Where is he!" Shao Yu looked behind him, but found no trace of the King of Qin. He immediately realized he had been tricked! "You brat! You dare to lie to me!"

"You're so stupid!" Tianming used all his strength to punch Shaoyu hard in the face! Shaoyu's mouth bled from the punch, and he fell heavily to the ground!

"Hehe, all's fair in war! You big fool!" Tianming was smug because he had defeated Shaoyu, and he was not embarrassed at all because of his cunning scheme.

"You! You despicable person!" Shao Yu said through gritted teeth, staring at Tianming with bloodshot eyes.

"So what? I won anyway!" Tianming shook his head and walked away slowly, completely disregarding the stares of the onlookers.

At night, in the middle of the night, they heard Tianming scream.

Tianming was just feeling a bit cold in the middle of the night and wanted to add another blanket. But when he opened his eyes, he saw a ghostly face floating in mid-air. You see, Tianming is a very timid person. He has been terrified of ghosts since he was a child. You can imagine how frightened he was to see a ghostly face in the middle of the night.

Stimulated by the ghostly face, Tianming fainted and lost consciousness.

Chapter 1045 Secret Assistance, Leon's Arrangement

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect him to be so timid!" Shao Yu stepped out from the shadows and shook his head.

Indeed, Shao Yu was not satisfied with the competition, so he came up with a dirty trick: he had someone dress up as a ghost to scare Tian Ming. He only intended to frighten Tian Ming a little, but he didn't expect Tian Ming to be so timid that he actually fainted. Shao Yu recalled the fight during the day and felt a little humiliated. He sneered and decided to teach Tian Ming a lesson.

"Yes, put him in!" Shao Yu directed the men to carry Tianming into a coffin.

The coffin was pitch black and airless, enough to give Tianming a good beating, but Shaoyu still wasn't satisfied. He looked up at the houses around him.

After wandering around, I suddenly discovered a neglected little dark room. Because it was dark and remote, no one usually went there.

"Let's go, carry the coffin in!" Shao Yu revealed a sinister smile, his mood instantly improving as he thought about how Tianming was about to be tortured.

Watching everyone carry the coffin containing Tianming into the small dark room, then have the room closed, and pretending nothing had happened, they happily left.

The next morning, Shao Yu woke up feeling refreshed, and couldn't help but burst into laughter at the thought of Tian Ming, who was still locked in the coffin.

"Why are you so happy so early in the morning?" Yue'er happened to be at Shao Yu's house to pick up some things, and when she heard Shao Yu's hearty laughter, she couldn't help but ask.

"Hahaha, isn't it just that Tianming!" Shaoyu became happier and happier as he thought about it.

Yue Er was completely confused, not understanding what Shao Yu meant.

"I scared Tianming into fainting last night, and I took the opportunity to lock him in a coffin and put him in a dark room!" Shaoyu said smugly.

"How could you do this? Go and release him! This is no good!" Yue'er shook her head, disapproving of Shao Yu's actions.

"It's nothing!" Shao Yu remained seated on the stool, making no move.

Seeing this, Yue'er knew she couldn't persuade Shao Yu, so she decided to lead her people to rescue Tianming.

Meanwhile, Tianming, who had been awake for a while, opened his eyes but couldn't see anything. It was pitch black in front of him. He tried to move his body and found that he was trapped in a small space where he could barely turn his body.

"Is anyone there?! Help!!" Tianming was terrified and shouted loudly, his fear driving him mad.

Unfortunately, he was locked in a dark room inside the coffin, so no one could hear him. Tianming's efforts were all in vain.

Soon, Tianming realized that his shouts received no response; instead, he felt like he couldn't breathe. He suddenly understood that he was locked in a coffin, and his fear intensified.

"Tianming? Are you there?" Yue'er arrived shortly after and stood at the door of the small dark room, asking loudly.

"Yes! I'm here!" Tianming exclaimed, his breathing rapid.

"Quick, there, let him out!" Upon hearing the echo, Yue'er quickly directed people to rescue Tianming. Once rescued, Tianming gasped for fresh air, feeling extremely uncomfortable as he was about to suffocate.

"What's going on!" An angry voice appeared in Tianming's mind. Tianming was stunned. Wasn't that the system's voice? "What's wrong?" he subconsciously replied.

"You're almost suffocating! Are you that weak?" the system snapped angrily.

Chapter 1046 The Opportunity to Transcend the Low-Level Martial World

"Yeah, I wasn't paying attention. I got ambushed." Tianming was a little embarrassed, feeling awkward thinking about how he almost suffocated.

The system sighed helplessly, saying that Tianming was too weak and couldn't keep being bullied. It had to find a way. "How about this, you go and become Gai Nie's apprentice! You're just too weak! Sigh!" The system was both angry and annoyed.

Become Gai Nie's disciple? Why? Tianming was completely confused and didn't understand the reason.

"Hmm?" Tianming asked again after receiving no response, but there was still silence in response.

This system is really strange. It can't answer questions properly. Tianming shook his head, but subconsciously he still thought the system made sense and decided to go and become Gai Nie's apprentice.

The system fell silent, but secretly sighed for Tianming. Tianming's abilities were still too weak, and it was impossible for him to become strong in a short time. Moreover, Gai Nie was highly skilled in martial arts, and Tianming would make great progress by becoming his disciple. This was a good idea.

At this moment, Tianming told Leon about his desire to become Gai Nie's apprentice, and Leon was stunned for a moment.

"Are you really going to become Gai Nie's apprentice?" Leon looked up at Tianming with a puzzled expression.

Tianming nodded, offering no further explanation, as the system was something that couldn't be clearly explained.

Although Leon didn't understand why Tianming suddenly wanted to become Gai Nie's disciple, he thought about Tianming's martial arts skills and then Gai Nie's martial arts skills. Everyone knew that Gai Nie's martial arts skills were superb, so having Tianming become his disciple could only bring benefits and no harm.

So Leon nodded: "That's a good idea. Go ahead, just be careful!"

Tianming acknowledged, indicating that he understood, and went back to his room to pack his belongings in preparation for going to find Gai Nie. Meanwhile, Zhang Liang had completed his Qimen Dunjia technique, so he prepared to bid farewell to the Mohists and the Xiang Clan.

"The art of Qimen Dunjia has been completed, my mission is accomplished, and I am about to leave," Zhang Liang said firmly, looking at the Mo family members and the Xiang clan.

"Why are you leaving? Don't you plan to stay?" Madam Xiang looked at him, still wanting to persuade him to stay.

"No, I've completed my mission and shouldn't stay any longer." Zhang Liang shook his head, knowing clearly that he absolutely could not stay here any longer.

Seeing Zhang Liang's resolute attitude, the Mo family and the Xiang family sighed inwardly, knowing that Zhang Liang would not stay in the end. Even if they forced him to stay now, he would only leave behind an empty body, and Zhang Liang's spirit would probably be long gone.

"So what are your plans next?" Madam Xiang's eyes darkened slightly as she asked helplessly.

"Wandering the world!" Zhang Liang's lips curled slightly.

The Mo family and the Xiang family fell silent. Zhang Liang glanced at them a few more times, left with a "take care" message, and departed.

At this time, Tianming was already on his way to find Gai Nie. As he walked, he thought about how to explain his situation to Gai Nie and let him know that he sincerely wanted to become his disciple. He also wondered how Gai Nie would react.

As Tianming walked, his pace slowed down. He didn't know how to talk to Gai Nie, nor did he know how Gai Nie would react. The more Tianming thought about it, the more confused he became, and he didn't know what to do.

Just as he was about to turn back and go home, he remembered what Shao Yu had done to him, and how weak he was at the moment.

Chapter 1047 The Reincarnator's Mission

To improve, one must find a master to guide him, and isn't Gai Nie the perfect person for him right now? How could he not go? Could he bear the consequences of not going?

Tianming gritted his teeth and continued towards Gai Nie's house. When he arrived, Gai Nie had just woken up. Looking at Gai Nie's still somewhat groggy expression, Tianming's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this a perfect opportunity? Maybe he could even take him as his disciple?

So Tianming took three steps in two and knelt down directly in front of Gai Nie: "Gai Nie, my master, can I become your disciple?"

"Huh?" Gai Nie was startled. When he came to his senses and saw the person kneeling in front of him, he said, "No, I won't accept a disciple like you!"

Tianming remained kneeling, not getting up, but seemed somewhat puzzled.

“You are too weak, and you are also good at using tricks.” Gai Nie insisted on refusing.

"All's fair in war. I haven't done anything wrong. It's just that I'm weak, which is why I came to you to become your disciple. I will study hard and I won't let you down!" Tianming said firmly.

"It seems you don't think you've done anything wrong!" Gai Nie shook his head and sighed.

"I know I was wrong to do that last time, but I was forced by circumstances! I will definitely not do it again!" Tianming explained urgently.

"No, you should leave. I will not accept a disciple like you." Gai Nie turned to leave.

Tianming was secretly surprised. He hadn't expected Gai Nie's attitude to be so resolute. It seemed that it was impossible for him to become Gai Nie's disciple. At least for now, Gai Nie wouldn't accept him. It seemed that he had to do something to show Gai Nie his firm determination.

Thinking this, Tianming also got up. Looking in the direction Gai Nie left, he secretly made up his mind to do something to make Gai Nie look at him with new eyes and become his disciple.

Tianming dusted himself off and walked slowly on his way home.

"Rong'er, fetch me some water, I want to wash my face!" When he got home, Tianming looked at his dirty self and shook his head repeatedly. He asked Rong'er to prepare water so he could wash himself properly and relax.

"Okay!" Rong'er turned and left, and soon she came in with a basin of water.

Tianming rolled up his sleeves, grabbed a cloth, dampened it with water, and started washing his face. After washing once, he still felt a sticky, uncomfortable feeling. Tianming lowered his head, picked up the cloth again, and used some force to wash his face twice more. Finally, he got rid of the sticky, dirty feeling.
