Itâs crushing!
Indeed.
Ding Ling wants to absolutely crush LĂŒ Bu with an overwhelming victory!
Only by doing this.
Will the name âWar Godâ truly be deserved!
Moreover:
[2, you must defeat the strongest in the plane. Prove you are the true War God.]
Task 2 must also be completed.
But right now, he is still no match for Wang Yue and Tong Yuan.
Therefore, heading south to Yangzhou to learn the Inner Refining Breathing Technique is necessary.
"Iâve already sent a carrier pigeon, hoping to contact Pan Feng and the others, itâs just a matter of time."
Ding Ling gave up the idea of participating in the battle at Hulao Pass.
The Three Heroes battling LĂŒ Bu is certainly exciting.
But what he needs is to improve his strength and clear all barriers!
Why worry about fleeting gains and losses?
"Previously, the one you fought was LĂŒ Bu?"
Zhao Yun glanced sideways.
"Indeed."
"So strong."
Zhao Yun was moved:
"No wonder the master said Jiuyuan LĂŒ Bu is a genius, and told me to be careful when I encounter him."
"Elder Wang also said something similar."
"Indeed."
Zhao Yun gave Ding Ling a glance:
"But youâve defeated him! Even if youâre not the number one of the younger generation now, youâre definitely not far off!"
Ding Ling smiled without speaking.
He really wants to say that his goal is not to be the number one of the younger generation, but the number one in this plane world!
But he didnât say it.
Even facing Zhao Yun, Ding Ling doesnât want to boast.
Although heâs full of confidence due to his ability to cheat, saying it out loud might cause Zhao Yun to think too much.
Once that status is achieved, everything will be evident.
Thereâs no need to say it.
Besides, he has long said he wants to be the War God, the worldâs number one War General! Saying heâs the number one person in the world is a bit âextravagantâ.
Clop! Clop!
The two rode all the way, occasionally chatting about martial arts and skills.
Zhao Yun is indeed the closed-door disciple chosen by Tong Yuan from countless people in Jiuzhou, his talent is astonishing in the extreme.
Along the way, heâs been fighting, progressing at an unparalleled speed.
Moreover, with Ding Lingâs guidance, he is getting closer to the super-elite level.
Of course, facing Ding Ling, the cheat master.
Zhao Yun remains extremely humble and cautious, never thinking heâs formidable.
Itâs truly because Ding Lingâs speed of learning martial arts is terrifying.
In front of Ding Ling, heâs completely crushed into dust!
How could he be proud or satisfied?
He remains in a state of âI must double my efforts to catch up with Ding Lingâ.
Whenever heâs free, he practices martial arts and breathing techniques.
He also wants to master the breathing technique to the level of Mastery as soon as possible, so that he can consume herbs to enhance his physique like Ding Ling!
Heâs been envious of this for a long time!
...
On this day.
The two reached the depths of some towering mountains.
The roads were difficult to traverse.
Ding Ling and Zhao Yun had to lead their horses, being cautious all the way, not daring to go too fast.
Compared to the wide avenue.
The mountain paths were rugged and challenging! Steep and dangerous!
And often encountered the winding and arduous paths like the "Nine Bends and Eighteen Turns"!
If Ding Ling hadnât bought the relevant map in Song County in advance, and the âMaster of Geographyâsâ ability to track and trace was top-notch.
They would definitely get dizzy and lost!
The chance of getting lost would be ninety-nine percent.
Only because Ding Ling discovered Zhao Yun has a âroad blindnessâ attribute!
Compared to ordinary people, he is more confused about distinguishing the correct paths!
Ding Ling became increasingly glad he could cheat.
If not, upon arriving in the Three Kingdoms World, he might end up circling in the mountains for half a year!
Clop! Clop!
In the layered mountain ranges, besides the occasional roar of wild beasts, the chirping of birds, there were only the sounds of Ding Ling, Zhao Yun, and the eight horsesâ footsteps and breathing.
Suddenly, a figure flashed before Ding Lingâs eyes.
That figure was incredibly fast, running swiftly on the steep mountain, like a monkey climbing cliffs or like a crane soaring high, agile and rapid to the extreme.
He seemed to be gathering herbs, climbing to the top of the cliff, picking a âstrange flowerâ, then climbing to the other side of the cliff to pick flowers.
In just a moment.
He had already filled the basket behind him.
He seemed to have completed his task, stepping down the cliff wall, about to leap away.
Seeing such a high person in this desolate place, Ding Ling couldnât help but call out loudly:
"Elder, elder, wait a moment!"
"Hmm?!"
The high person stood on the cliff, feet perched on a protruding sharp rock, heard the voice and couldnât help but turn back to look.
This turning back.
He saw each otherâs appearances clearly.
Ding Ling saw the high person with crane-like white hair and youthful complexion, upright and strong body, bright eyes, standing steadily on the steep cliff with both feet, his hands empty, incredibly stable.
In awe and admiration, he stepped forward two steps, saluted, and said:
"Junior Ding Ling from Jizhou, greetings to the elder."
"Zhao Zilong of Changshan, greetings to the elder!"
Zhao Yun also immediately saluted.
"Hehe."
The high person smiled slightly, appearing more kindly and approachable, like an elderly neighbor.
Yet, he exuded Immortal Qi, stood on the cliff, his robes fluttering, with an exceptional demeanor, shining with brilliance, like an immortal on the verge of Ascension, catching attention!
The two qualities mixed perfectly.
Making this high person stand out remarkably, leaving a deep impression.
"No need to be so polite."
The high person stepped down from the cliff, a few leaps and bounds, lightly flew to the front of the two, stroking his beard and smiling at them:
"Did you get lost? Do you need me to lead you out?"
"No."
Ding Ling solemnly said:
"I accidentally encountered the elder, admired the elderâs martial skills. I wish to take the elder as my master!"
Ding Ling found this high person unexpectedly approachable.
He also straightforwardly expressed his intent.
Zhao Yun was dumbfounded.
The high person was also quite surprised, he studied Ding Ling carefully for a moment, then shook his head:
"I am not qualified to be your master."
Ding Ling had some guesses but feigned confusion.
The high person explained:
"Your physique has already broken the constraints of mortals, reaching the super-elite level! Youâve already stood at the peak of this world! How could I teach you?"
"I believe Iâm far from the peak."
Ding Ling immediately replied.
"Humility is indeed a virtue, but excessive humility makes one seem a bit hypocritical."
The high person frowned and looked at Ding Ling, but seeing Ding Lingâs sincere expression, not seeming fake at all, he was unsure:
"Are you serious?!"
"Junior left the mountain to learn the Unparalleled Divine Skill of the Great River South."
Ding Lingâs full-level acting skill activated, he spoke earnestly:
"To me, martial arts is everything, breaking the worldâs bottleneck is the goal. Super-elite is not my goal, breaking the void is!"
"..."
Zhao Yun was moved.
The high person was extremely shocked, couldnât help but carefully scrutinize Ding Ling again:
"To reach the super-elite level at this age, you must be an extraordinary talent. Itâs rare that you are not satisfied, not proud, nor self-centered. This is commendable."
He thought for a moment and said:
"I do know some martial arts and understand breathing techniques. But you..."
