Exploding God

Chapter 1113 I Asked the Master About Something

As the tall man struck out with his palm, a white energy wave, several times larger than before, was imprinted in the air, resembling a palm print, and slammed heavily onto the martial arts training post with a whistling sound.

Huh?

Lu Ze, who had been somewhat nonchalant, suddenly narrowed his eyes after seeing the palm print that had been released.

His eyesight is amazing, and his powerful perception allows him to notice many details that others cannot.

The ability to project one's Qi outwards is a skill that can only be mastered upon reaching the 11th Star Realm, but this person's realm is clearly much lower; they can project their Qi outwards even before reaching the 11th Star Realm...

Lu Ze took out a pair of glasses from his pocket, put them on casually, and continued watching with great interest.

Unseen by anyone, a number was imprinted on the top of the tall man's head on Lu Ze's glasses—[Threat Value: 3650].

In terms of combat power, once it exceeds 3510, it has already entered the threshold of the 9-star Gale level.

But this makes the deviation from common sense about martial arts even more serious.

How can a martial artist who has just entered the 9-star realm master the abilities of an 11-star realm?

Tsk, interesting.

Lu Ze was very interested.

……

The martial arts stance seemed to have an energy-absorbing effect, remaining completely still after being struck by the palm wind, and even the airflow that should have dissipated vanished in a brief moment.

The hollowed-out groove was filled with suddenly rising liquid silver, which crossed several marks and then came to a steady stop three marks away from the mark "nine".

"Strength, 8.7 stars, test passed."

The Yan family's testing personnel glanced at the martial arts stance, a slight smile appearing on their usually stern faces. They announced the results loudly and handed over a black wooden plaque with the number [01] printed on it.

This clearly represents the first team to pass the test, and it was achieved by sending only one person.

The tall man took the black wooden plaque with an arrogant expression and returned to the group, following his elder brother to register his information.

The warriors waiting nearby looked at the hunting party with a hint of awe in their eyes.

Everyone saw it clearly just now: the tall man simply snapped a photo and it reached a level close to 9 stars!

Considering what the other party had said earlier, the one-eyed man leading the group must be even stronger!

It seems that the Rangers are indeed as powerful as rumored, and should not be underestimated.

"Brother Lu, your glasses are quite nice." A clear voice suddenly came from beside him. Lu Ze turned his head and met Zhang Xinghuo's curious eyes.

"Thank you for the compliment," Lu Ze replied with a smile.

The detection glasses produced by Hezi are made with top-quality materials and workmanship, and when paired with Lu Ze's good looks, they enhance both aspects.

Wearing it will not only effectively conceal the sharpness in one's eyes, but will also further enhance the wearer's refined and elegant temperament.

[Even better looking than the eldest brother!]

When Zhang Xinghuo was thinking this, she didn't know that she presented a different image in Lu Ze's eyes.

Next to the slender red outline are constantly changing numbers.

[Threat level: 3900, 4100, 4050...]

In just three seconds, the number jumped seven times and continued to change randomly.

This indicates that Zhang Xinghuo's Star Source Power has not been maintained in a stable state. What's even more interesting is that her Star Source Power Field is higher than that of the tall hunter You.

A person with more than 3510 Star Source Cells can be identified as a nine-star martial artist. It is probably true that Zhang Xinghuo said he was an eight-star martial artist. So this extra bonus should come from his physique or cultivation technique.

"Next! Anyone here?"

A cold voice came from the front, seemingly impatient because the subsequent testers hadn't caught up. Zhang Xinghuo, however, showed no emotion and quickly stepped forward.

"I'll do it, I'll do it."

Seeing Zhang Xinghuo's thin appearance, the other person frowned. "You know how to do the test, right? Call your teammates along."

The second steward did not stipulate that women could not register, but the girl with the tender face in front of him could not be associated with a strong person at all, so he naturally assumed that the girl came with others.

"No need, no need, I'll try it myself first." Zhang Xinghuo didn't mind the other party's tone at all, and responded with a smile. He rolled up his sleeves and walked to the martial arts stance under the impatient gaze of the Yan family martial artists. His right hand shot out from his waist like lightning.

Then at that moment, the expressions of many people around changed!

A scorching, reddish aura surged up, then abruptly ceased, leaving only the dust slowly spreading beneath Zhang Xinghuo's feet.

The pinkish-white fist hovered 5 centimeters away from the martial arts stake, without touching the stake, but the surging star source power directly pushed the boiling silver liquid to the middle of the 8-star and 9-star!

"Strength 8.5 stars, test passed."

The martial artist in charge of the test glanced at Zhang Xinghuo with a complicated look, thinking that he had misjudged her. This seemingly weak girl was actually an 8-star martial artist.

Taking the black wooden plaque marked "[6]", Zhang Xinghuo proudly waved it at Lu Ze, "Done!"

Having obtained the pass and found relatively reliable teammates, Zhang Xinghuo could already see the Dragon Saliva Liquid beckoning to him. If he was lucky enough to be temporarily recruited during the mission, then this recruitment mission would be a huge success.

"That's really amazing."

Lu Ze gave a heartfelt compliment.

The girl's eyes crinkled with laughter. Although she was very happy, she remembered that business was more important, so she quickly pulled Lu Ze to the man in the blue robe to complete the formal registration.

"Team 6, Captain Zhang Xinghuo, member Lu Ze, any objections?"

"No." Zhang Xinghuo was finally relieved after watching his and Lu Ze's images being recorded by the machine, and then skillfully greeted, "Brother Lu, let's go to Zhenbei to meet up."

"Wait a moment, the Jade Dew Pastry Mountain over there is ready, I'll go get it." Lu Ze naturally had no problem with that, but he gestured for Zhang Xinghuo to wait a moment.

Gyokuro Susan is Kirihara Riku's name for ice cream, and this name has obviously been passed down from the Tang Dynasty to the present day.

"To cool you down, one serving per person."

The girl stared wide-eyed as Lu Ze took two clumps of Jade Dew Crisp Mountain wrapped in broad green leaves from the bamboo stall. Her eyes widened instantly, and she suppressed the urge to swallow, accepting them somewhat awkwardly as Lu Ze nodded in acknowledgment.

It was cool to the touch, and the aroma of raspberry, sugarcane, and lychee mixed with the scent of cream was invigorating. Zhang Xinghuo lowered his head to sniff it, feeling quite embarrassed.

How did Brother Lu know I wanted to eat crispy mountain pastry?

Thinking about it, he inexplicably licked his lips.

—Icy sweet!

She comfortably squinted her eyes.

Two seconds...

She suddenly realized she hadn't said thank you yet, and her round face flushed red as she quickly looked up.

"No, I'm sorry! Thank you, Brother Lu, the crispy mountain dessert was delicious!"

"It's really good."

Lu Ze also gave it a very high rating. The Jade Dew Crispy Mountain melts in your mouth, and its icy sweetness combined with the natural plant fragrance is refreshing and invigorating.

If this stall were located in the fortress of Shanghai, it would probably sell out every day.

"Sir, here's your change." The ice cream vendor jogged over, a broad smile on his face, and handed Lu Ze a delicate white card. "After deducting the cost of this toll card, you'll have 970 white coins left."

"Hey, how much did you take with this card!" Zhang Xinghuo raised an eyebrow, stood in front of the stall owner with his hands on his hips, and said somewhat angrily.

"Um... not much, just 20 white coins." The shopkeeper was a middle-aged man of about fifty years old, with a slightly hunched posture. He spoke with a forced smile on his face and rubbed his hands together awkwardly.

"You're only selling this Jade Dew Crisp Mountain for 5 White Coins! Considering the remoteness of Chongma Town, it's worth at most 10 White Coins. Uncle, you actually want my brother for 20!?" Zhang Xinghuo retorted sharply, showing no sign of backing down.

"This, this... I originally said I wouldn't sell it, but this gentleman specifically wanted to buy it. It really has nothing to do with me." The middle-aged shopkeeper looked aggrieved.

"You're still trying to argue—"

"Spark, it has nothing to do with you, Uncle. I lost my original toll card, and it's really inconvenient to travel around with some loose change. You're just being understanding," Lu Ze waved his hand and explained softly.

"Little girl, see, I didn't lie to you."

"Hmph." Zhang Xinghuo pouted, but still felt the pain of spending an extra 10 white coins. If he had saved that, he could have bought 100 more white steamed buns!

The 1000 white coins minus 30 indicates that Brother Lu just paid with a red jade coin.

Crimson Jade Coins are a rare currency among martial artists, and their exchange rate with Brown Jade Coins and White Jade Coins is usually 1:10:1000.

The fact that Lu Ze could casually take out a red jade coin to buy Jade Dew Crisp Mountain is enough to reflect his wealth.

Even so, Zhang Xinghuo did not feel resentful about giving away two red jade coins to the team. Instead, he was indignant that Lu Ze had been asked for 10 more white coins.

"Uncle, is there anything else wrong?" Lu Ze asked gently.

From the moment he bought the Jade Dew Crisp Mountain, he noticed that the man, who was nearly fifty, looked at his wrist several times.

The bracelet on his wrist wasn't exactly a rare item in the Mist Plains; more than half of the martial artists present wore it.

But this man only looked at his left hand...

If there's anything special about it, it's the liquid metal "silver chain" that Lin Yunxue gave her when she left.

"Ah, no." The middle-aged man scratched his head and said casually with a smile, "You seem to be a very knowledgeable person. Do you know if the Mu family has moved away from the eastern forest region?"

Lu Ze looked at the boss, who had an honest and simple face and a very natural smile, as if what he had just said was just a normal conversation.

Forest area?

Lu Ze certainly didn't know that, but he did know something else.

Sen, one of the wooden houses moved away, leaving...

【Forest】!
