After returning to the sect, the two handed over the mission requirements, but there was a problem, which was that there were materials left over from the wolves. While eating in the dining hall where food was purchased through points, Zhang Yong suggested that they keep the materials, since the mission would be renewed in Every day, they could save the materials and take the order, then disappear and come back and deliver the materials. This way, they would have a fixed balance of points. This free time could also be used for training, this is what he said to Su Ming, but while Su Ming was training, Zhang Yong was sneaking around. To carry out other missions since training was no longer necessary for him with his condition, he would have to invest in the Heaven-Defying Body skill.
Especially after reading the exchange list, he found that one spiritual stone could be exchanged for 100 merit points, which of course would not be enough for him since his technique needed more resources. Also, due to him killing monsters for missions and other things, his debt to the system was closed, but his points were still low.
Fast forward one week passed
Currently it was after lunch, and Zhang Yong and Su Ming were in the dining hall
Zhang Yong sighed softly, "So much hard work, I need to find a way to gain Spiritual Stones quickly."
Suddenly Su Ming's voice woke him up, "Hey, are you listening, I said we have to do a new mission. All we chose was the wolves mission."
Zhang Yong glanced at the people in the dining hall, then back to Su Ming, "How about we go to the Martial Hall?"
Su Ming's body trembled slightly, "What makes you say that, didn't you say before that it would bring trouble?"
Zhang Yong waved his hand and explained, "I said that because we are still new to the sect, but now we have some implicit understanding of it. As long as we don't fight the upper ranks, it will be fine. Let's try to aim for people between the fifty and one hundred ranks."
Su Ming held his chin for a moment and thought, then asked, "Why exactly the lower ranks and not the upper ones?"
Zhang Yong smiled softly, "Think about it, two newcomers to the sect, and yet they come and defeat the upper ranks, wouldn't that cause great dissatisfaction, then, we would have to deal with more than just one person."
Su Ming couldn't help but nod, he thought carefully about what Zhang Yong said and found that he was right in every word.
Zhang Yong thought for a moment, 'Many characters take risks and fight just to prove their strength, and this is wrong. A person should hide his strength before doing something rash, otherwise he will only regret it.'
The two of them stood up after finishing and walked towards the battle hall, but there was something strange, the looks with which people were looking at Zhang Yong, looked like disappointment and disgust, but he didn't mind, this was even better than before.
Although he did not know whether to be happy or upset
However, recently this week he was receiving a lot of points and there was something he noticed before
When it affects a person directly, he gets normal points, but if the matter is without his direct intervention, such as a rumor, for example, it will be counted as one point, no matter how strong it is.
The two arrived at the hall and were amazed when they looked at the ring. In the middle of that ring, there were actually two people fighting, while the first one was unknown.
The second was someone Zhang Yong had known for a long time
"Jian Yi," Zhang Yong muttered softly. It was as if fortune smiled at him the moment he saw him, as if he expected that he would come to join the same sect.
Zhang Yong immediately ignored him and entered the battle hall
On the side, there was a long jade tablet, which bore the names of ranks from one hundred to the first
The two stood and stared at the board
Zhang Yong smiled and laughed as as he expected, Jian Yi was fighting against the tenth ranked man on the list
Zhang Yong sneered softly, 'Really, some things don't change no matter how much time passes, all we have to do is wait.'
Zhang Yong looked at the seventy-seventh rank and smiled, he had chosen his next victim
Immediately he walked up to the hall elder, where the elder was holding a jade plaque in his hand, Zhang Yong approached and bowed, "I am Zhang Yong an outer disciple, I want to compete with the seventy-seventh rank in the sect."
The elder immediately showed a smiling expression, "Whoa, what a brave boy, you actually want to advance to the top hundred when you are disciple number 11594, good for you."
The elder had read Zhang Yong's information via the jade tablet in his hand
Right behind Zhang Yong entered a tall young man, his black hair neatly tied up. This was the sect's seventy-seventh-ranked Yan Song. The elder's main jade slab is connected to the disciples' wood slabs, so when someone challenges you, the wood slab will light up, summoning you.
The Sheikh stood up and announced, "I announce a match between student No. 11590 and student No. 77."
After the Sheikh announced this, the voices of the students inside the hall rose
"Chang Yong? Who is this?"
"Could it be that guy from the rumour?"
"He's just a troublemaker in the end."
Many of the disciples were looking at each other with furtive glances as they discussed
Without caring about what others said, Zhang Yong and Yan Song headed towards the ring and both of them got up
Yan Song immediately shouted, "Don't worry, Junior Brother Zhang, I will take pity on you and bring you back to the right path."
After announcing the start, Yan Song forcefully rushed towards Zhang Yong, while his hand was covered in an aura as black as the night sky.
Moon split palm
Five steps away, Zhang Yong did not move and was still crossing his arms, while the palm became closer
Slap!
Suddenly, a loud face appeared and everyone was embarrassed by what happened
Yan Song's body retreated two meters away from Zhang Yong and was holding his face while a hand remained as a red mark on his face
The disciples couldn't understand what happened as if their minds had stopped working, as everyone saw Zhang Yong slap Yan Song so hard that his face turned red.
"What… happened?" Yan Song involuntarily grabbed his face and was extremely embarrassed, so he immediately became angry, "You bastard, I will finish you off!"
Yan Song immediately rushed over again and waved his palm
Slap!
He was slapped again in the face, but this time instead of stepping back, Zhang Yong grabbed him by his clothes and started slapping him.
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
Five slaps in the face made Yan Song's face swell
Yan Song felt his brain screaming in pain and became even more angry, "You!..."
Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap!
One blow after another landed on Yan Song's face until his face was swollen and swollen like a fugu fish
Without being able to resist the slap, Yan Song immediately gestured with his hand to Zhang Yong, "Stop, stop, Brother Zhang. Please forgive me, I surrender."
At this time everyone was shocked, they did not understand what happened, one of the top hundred in the sect was defeated by an unknown person and this left a mark of terror in their hearts.
A small laugh escaped the Hall Elder and he smiled, "From now on, it has been announced that Zhang Yong has attained Rank No. 77 and will be rewarded with 30 merit points on a monthly basis."
Zhang Yong approached Yan Song and placed a healing pill in his hand, "Big Brother Yan Song, thank you for fighting me, and sorry for hurting you like this."
Yan Song quickly waved his hands, "No no no, younger brother is extremely talented, there is no comparison between us."
With this, Zhang Yong withdrew from the ring, walked towards the sheikh, and bowed, "Thank you, Sheikh, for your fair arbitration."
The elder's eyes lit up calmly, as he put his arm on Zhang Yong's shoulder, "No need, how about..." But immediately his expression changed and he turned around, "No, forget it."
With that, the elder left without saying another word. Zhang Yong tilted his head in confusion, "What's the matter with him?"
Ling Xi immediately shouted, "That old fart, how dare he inspect your body!"
Ling Xi's reaction made his mind even more confused, "How so?"
Yami snorted softly, "That old man passed his energy through your body and discovered that you had a broken dantian, so he backed off, he must have thought you had a great talent or something."
Zhang Yong sneered softly, "And what is my relationship, whether he is disappointed in me or not, that is just his own opinion of me, it will neither add nor subtract anything."
At this, Su Ming had returned at the same time from his match, "Wow, you insulted your opponent so much, Young."
Zhang Yong smiled calmly, "That's nothing, let's go do a mission." Zhang Yong calmly walked over and Su Ming followed suit.
Where he asked, "What makes you want to do the job?"
Zhang Yong softly dug his ears, "We'll go so you don't bother me again about taking a new mission, you really gave me a headache."
High in the stands watching, no one realized that there were eyes quietly watching
A person held up a jade tablet and spoke, "Young Master, it seems that he is the one we are looking for."
A faint voice responded from the jade tablet, "That's good, call him soon."
The person immediately withdrew from the stands and disappeared into the crowd
After Zhang Yong and Su Ming left and on the way, Zhang Yong noticed something had changed in the spiritual wood tablet, as his residence changed. In the rules, it was mentioned that the residence of disciples changed according to their rank in the sect. High ranks possessed a residence filled with spiritual energy due to the presence of a spreading array. In housing, the closer the house is to the center of the array, the more energy is concentrated in the dwelling and thus this is an additional reason to fight in the ranking
Going into the hall and checking the wall of quests, there were no interesting quests, Zhang Yong turned towards Su Ming, "Choose quickly, all the quests look the same to me."
Su Ming held his chin for a moment, then raised his finger, "What about hunting demon spiders, second-rate monsters that nonetheless have poison that can kill even third-rate monsters?"
Zhang Yong thought for a moment and then asked, "Do you have any anti-poison pills, alchemist?"
Su Ming's mother: "Of course I have some, one should prepare for every situation, right?"
Immediately, the two of them set off towards the Monster Forest. Upon entering the forest, Zhang Yong activated the map
Zhang Yong asked Su Ming calmly, "What are the conditions of the mission?"
The other immediately replied, "What is needed is the core again since it is the most important part of the beasts and the legs. Since each leg is strong as steel, it is a special material for making swords, but we have to be careful. They have poisonous fangs that can melt iron."
"Huh." Zhang Yong was surprised, "You unexpectedly have great knowledge."
Su Ming proudly stroked his chest, "This is all thanks to my teacher, he taught me many things."
"Che is a proud bastard."
"Not as much as you, you crazy bastard."
The two walked towards the depths of the forest. Demonic spiders live in rocky caves, so the two passed through many caves, but to no avail, until the map showed a change in the appearance of the spider.
The two immediately changed their path towards it, until they found the desired cave
"Are you sure he is here?" Su Ming asked in confusion
"Yes, I'm sure, hey, do you want to come in first?" Zhang Yong snapped his fingers and began to stretch slightly
Su Ming laughed, "Huh, why not, I'm going."
Su Ming entered the cave quietly
In less than five minutes, a scream came from the place, it was Su Ming's voice
Zhang Yong immediately flipped onto his back and started laughing loudly, while clutching his stomach
After controlling himself, he stood up and entered the cave. As soon as he entered, he found Su Ming wrapped in a spider web without the ability to move. His entire body was covered by that white web except for his face.
Zhang Yong immediately exploded and started laughing loudly, "Pfft, look at you man, I mean mummy, hahaha."
Su Ming frowned, "Yes, mock as you please, now release me."
Zhang Yong waved his hand, "Okay, I'll do it later, I'll finish the spider thing."
Zhang Yong stepped inside, but had not completed his tenth step before he was attacked by a swarm of small spiders.
He covered him from head to toe
Su Ming shouted, "Hey, are you alive?"
Zhang Yong raised his thumb and spoke, but the speech was unclear, because the spiders were closing his body
He moved forward, but the spiders were hindering his movement. He grabbed the spiders, opened his mouth, and began to devour them
(The host killed 26 little devil spiders
Got 210 experience points
I got 970 sentiment points
)
He immediately started eating all those spiders without hesitation
As Su Ming watched in shock at what was happening, for a moment everything seemed illogical to him, who would eat poisonous spiders as if he were eating crackers?
After about half an hour had passed, Zhang Yong had eaten several spiders, and he burped as he licked his fingers, "This was delicious."
After his body became stronger, his new body needed to be filled with energy, so regular foods no longer satiated him. He had to eat kilograms of meat and food to satisfy his hunger.
He moved forward and found the spider residing on its web
He picked up his sword and jumped towards him
The spider backed away, jumped sideways, and shot a spider web at him
Zhang Yong cut the web and rushed towards the spider. The spider shot three webs but Zhang Yong passed through them smoothly and reached the spider, with a vertical cut that instantly split the spider's head.
Zhang Yong stood up and leaned on his sword, "Huh, spiders are weak these days."
Su Ming shouted to the side, "You are so strong, you savage, come here and free me."
Zhang Yong stepped forward and tore open the cocoon surrounding Su Ming, Su Ming breathed a sigh of relief, "Fue, for the sake of all things, how come the spider venom didn't affect you, even small spiders aren't that easy."
Zhang Yong laughed sarcastically, "I have a resistance to poisons, poisons of this level will not affect me."
Su Ming was astonished and then stood up, walked over to the corpses and did not say a word, he did not ask additional questions because he respected Zhang Yong, after all everyone had their own secrets, even him.
After snatching the core and stems, Zhang Yong went forward and inspected the spider's teeth, as they were covered in a faint poisonous purple light.
Pull the teeth out and swallow them
(The chemical structure of ice and fire has advanced slightly)
Seeing this, Su Ming held his mouth and almost vomited, "How can you eat all this stuff like this?"
Zhang Yong showed a slight smile as he recalled the past, "I have learned that, when you are in a life or death situation, you need the ability to adapt. In this world, you must find any chance of survival whether by foul or fair means, even if one day you have to eat rats or cockroaches."
Just thinking about that made Su Ming's stomach turn and he wanted to vomit, "Okay, I won't say you're wrong, just don't do it in front of me."
Zhang Yong stood up and smiled gently, "Okay, let's leave now." Zhang Yong put his arm on the corpse and it disappeared, leaving nothing behind, because spiders don't even have bones to survive.
The two of them walked out of the cave immediately after obtaining the materials, and rushed off. Zhang Yong had activated the map to bypass potentially dangerous monsters or unexpected objects.
