Zhou Heng's perception was very keen, especially after Insight +1.
Even when he was concentrating on cultivating his internal energy, he could immediately detect any wind and grass around him.
Right now, there was someone standing on the roof of his house.
However, after Zhou Heng's low cry just now, there was no response from anyone, nor was there a follow-up sound.
"Is it a thief?" He wrinkled his brow and subconsciously stuffed the silver ticket in his bosom back in, secretly saying, "Could it be that I exchanged it for gold at the gold shop before? Time to be seen?
"Someone's trying to steal my gold?!"
Wanting to be here, Zhou Heng immediately became furious, copied the steel knife by the bed and rushed out the door, shouting harshly, "Whoever is here, come out immediately! "
"Your landlord is here! Aren't you going to sleep, Zhou Heng!?" In the main room suddenly came the landlord's angry shout, warning: "This is your last chance, next time, I'll raise your rent. ! Go to sleep!"
This caused Zhou Heng to shiver for a moment.
A little panicked.
However, he did not go straight back, but looked towards the wall not far away.
There was this black-clothed masked man standing there, holding a long sword and looking down on him from above.
"Who are you?" Zhou Heng frowned.
Clank!!!
The sword resounded.
This masked man actually killed Zhou Heng with his sword without saying a word.
The sword light cut through the night sky and went straight for Zhou Heng's skull.
Dang!
The swords clashed, and the masked man's sword was directly blocked by Zhou Heng with his sword.
"Eh? "
The masked man let out a light giggle, clearly surprised that Zhou Heng was actually able to take his unexpected sword.
At this time, Zhou Heng's heart was even more shocked.
This was because while he was parrying the black-clothed masked man's attack, he received a system prompt.
"Kong Chengshun is using the martial art "Thirty-seventh Road Night Shadow Sword Technique" [Ninth Grade] to attack you, you successfully parry, proficiency + 0.2."
This is the one Lin Cang said came to Huang Tongfu City to recruit outer disciples from the Chang Xing Sect.
The ninety-ninth ranked "Falling Sky Flying Sword", Kong Cheng Shun!
"Isn't he arriving tomorrow?"
Zhou Heng was in a state of shock and uncertainty, not to mention confused as to why this person had come to attack him, and he always felt as if there was something else bizarre in the other man's sword.
Clank!!!
At this time, another sword came, and once again Zhou Heng perfectly parried and followed the other sword's momentum, letting the blade turn, when it turned defensive into offensive, and slashed down with force!
It seemed that Kong Cheng Shun did not expect Zhou Heng's blade technique to have such a change, and there was a momentary stagnation in his hand, which revealed a flaw that was not easily detectable.
But Zhou Heng, who had Insight +1, how could he not see this flaw and immediately took advantage of the weakness and attacked with his blade!
Thus, under the moonlight, Zhou Heng's blade was stained with a line of blood.
Although Kong Chengshun dodged in the nick of time, the back of his own hand was still cut through the skin by Zhou Heng's knife.
This cut allowed him to completely understand the level of Zhou Heng's blade.
"Hmph!"
He grunted coldly, no longer fighting Zhou Heng, flew back, quickly closed the distance, tumbled, jumped over a house, and fled into the distance, taking advantage of the night.
Zhou Heng did not continue his pursuit.
On the one hand, it was because the other party was clever, even if he had the +1 attribute of Agility, he might not be able to catch up with only the ninth grade Flying Grass Eight Steps.
On the other hand was that he was somewhat scrupulous of the strange aura he had perceived during the encounter.
"Ghost breath? No, it's plausible, and my special attack against the spirits didn't work during the fight, so it seems like he hasn't been possessed by a ghost yet! ...But that breath, what is it?"
.....
The black-clothed, masked Kong Sung Soon was galloping through the night.
He was returning to his carriage that was still on the road.
Tomorrow as Kong Chengshun, he came to Huang Tongfu City for the first time.
Kong Cheng Shun covered the blood marks on the back of his right hand, and his face hidden under his mask turned gloomy.
This blood mark wasn't even considered an injury, even if it was completely regardless, it could recover in three or two days.
But the significance that this blood mark represented was something that he could not ignore.
"Blade Transformation Realm, he actually trained a crude martial skill like the Twelve Road Splitting Mountain Blade to the Transformation Realm!" Kong Cheng Shun felt unimaginable as soon as he remembered how Zhou Heng had just dribbled his swords.
A ninth-grade saber technique had actually been trained to this level by that fellow!
How old is he!
Under normal circumstances, a martial artist who cultivates a martial art to a perfect level is basically at the end of that martial art and can hardly advance any further.
Only when one is extremely dedicated to a martial art, expending countless amounts of energy and concentrating on cultivating it, is it possible to break through the bottleneck, transcend the original level of perfection, and reach the so-called "state of perfection".
Achieving the state of perfection is basically equivalent to improving one's martial arts skills by half a grade!
The power has increased!
But who would spend so much energy on a ninth-grade martial art?
It took an extremely long time to go from perfection to the Transformation Realm, as little as two or three years, as much as five or six years, or even longer, and one might be limited by one's talent and never be able to train at the Transformation Realm.
But this Zhou Heng had only been practicing martial arts for a total of two years!
"Genius, when it comes to genius."
Kong Chengshun's eyes narrowed and sneered, "But the Changxing Sect doesn't need geniuses now, at least not until Master gets the position of head of the sect Need!"
Randomly, he shook the longsword in his hand.
This ordinary-looking longsword immediately turned into an ancient sword with a simple and rusty appearance.
Kong Cheng Shun's gaze towards this ancient sword was filled with admiration, secretly saying, "Thanks to Senior, if Senior hadn't asked me to test this brat, I'm afraid I would have really had to recruit him into the Chang Xing School.
"Such a genius must be growing extremely fast, and will cause Master to fight for the position of Head Sect in vain... Fortunately, fortunately."
Buzz!
The ancient sword trembled slightly, glowing slightly, as if it was responding to Kong Cheng Shun's mood.
Kong Cheng Shun made a sideways listening motion, his face changing slightly, startled, "Is this how it's going to be? Such a genius might even be favored by other clans, so it's not too good to risk a grudge."
The dim light on the ancient sword flickered again.
Kong Cheng Shun hesitated for a moment and nodded, "Okay, I know, Senior."
.....
Early next morning.
Kong Cheng Shun's carriage slowly drove into the gates of Huang Tongfu City.
Tongchang Martial Hall, Chang Sheng Martial Hall, and Long Xing Martial Hall, the three martial hall owners under the Chang Xing School all came to greet them, accompanied by a group of Ninth Grade Instructors.
Zhou Heng didn't come, he had to concentrate on martial arts training.
Huang Jingfu, Hong Kang, and Lei Xiuyuan, these three, as the owners of the museum, were at the front.
Behind them was a group of instructors.
And behind the instructors were the many people who had come to watch the fun.
A large portion of them were purely here to watch Kong Cheng Shun, wanting to see what a young and handsome man who could ascend to the Human Ranking was like.
Although Kong Cheng Shun was only the ninety-ninth on the list, being on the list meant that his strength had surpassed that of most of his generation.
Not to mention ninety-nine, even if it was a hundred, that was still a true battle record.
It would become a popular figure that countless people would pay attention to.
"Wow! This is the man of the hour! That's awesome!"
"Like giving him a baby!"
"The Falling Sky Flying Sword! Falling Sky Flying Sword!!!"
The crowd cheered incessantly, especially the younger girls.
However, some of the girls who had seen Zhou Heng and Sun Zhengping sparring were secretly shaking their heads, thinking that this Falling Sky Flying Sword wasn't as handsome as Zhou Heng.
As for strength?
Is strength as important as good looks?
.....
Passing through this lively crowd.
Huang Jingfu, Hong Kang, Lei Xiu Yuan and a group of instructors welcomed Kong Cheng Shun into the Buwu Division.
At this time, Buwu Director General Tian Chong had already set up a banquet here.
Kong Chengshun entered the banquet after taking a short rest.
But even at the banquet, he was still holding his beloved longsword, not leaving his body for a moment.
Huang Jingfu saw the situation and complimented, "As the saying goes, 'A moon stick is an annual sword for a lifetime, and a sword is hidden at all times', but there really aren't many who can do that. Duke Kong carries his sword with him and uses it to nourish his Qi, so it's no wonder he's already on the list of people at a young age."
"Yes, yes!" Hong Kang also nodded in agreement, "Mr. Kong has the credentials of a clan master at a glance!"
The fifth grade of Martial Dao could be called a master.
Lei Xiu Yuan obviously wasn't too comfortable with this kind of scene, but the two foreign pavilion masters were so boastful, he couldn't be too out of place.
It was just that both Huang Jingfu and Hong Kang had already said just about everything they could boast about.
What other tricks could there be?
So he thought about it and said, "Mr. Kong has a bright future ahead of him, this sword will be famous all over the world because of his reputation, isn't it? The blessings of the ah."
But as soon as the words left his mouth, Lei Xiu Yuan couldn't help but shiver, only to feel a sudden chill in the air around him.
What was going on?
Did I say something wrong?
Impossible.
Lei Xiu Yuan was puzzled.
Kong Cheng Shun looked at him and said indifferently, "We now need to discuss the rules for testing Zhou Heng tomorrow. Lei Hall Master, you should avoid suspicion and go out first."
