Only My Way

Looking at Ling Wuyuan, who was accompanied by a general beside him.

Most of the passersby around them showed curiosity.

Occasionally, some would stop slightly, their expressions filled with curiosity as they sized him up.

Among them.

After taking a few more glances, some passersby often recognized Ling Wuyuan's identity.

The reason was simple.

As the wealthiest area in the [Yunling Prefecture], the proportion of people in [Dragonpeak City] who bought and read the [News Report] was naturally much higher than in other regions.

Therefore.

People here were often very well-informed.

They were also more sensitive to various local and national events… …

Of course.

To put it more directly, the situation could actually be described as the locals being extremely good at political commentary due to their relatively idle nature… …

They liked to gather together with a copy of the [News Report] to discuss various national affairs whenever they had nothing to do.

So.

Thanks to the locals' excellent level of political commentary.

Ling Wuyuan actually had some fame in [Dragonpeak City].

And coupled with his relatively distinctive appearance.

Even if it was his first time here, many locals could recognize him!

Noticing those gazes.

Sun Ting, who was walking with Ling Wuyuan in the city wall passage, also shook his head slightly.

However.

He was certain that the young man beside him had not developed any extra feelings due to those gazes.

Whether it was his expression.

Or his eyes.

There were no fluctuations at all.

It was as if those gazes were just some insignificant air.

'He became famous at a young age, yet still maintains his self… …'

Faced with all of this.

Sun Ting's gaze couldn't help but be a little恍惚.

If he had been able to maintain his self and original intention like Ling Wuyuan back then, instead of indulging in the splendid mundane world, and having his own energy, spirit, and ambition repeatedly worn away by various tangible and intangible things.

Perhaps, he wouldn't have stopped here.

After slightly adjusting his mentality.

Sun Ting turned and asked with a bit of curiosity:

“Is Your Excellency here in our [Dragonpeak City] to challenge the local young talents?”

Although he asked this, Sun Ting felt that the possibility wasn't high.

Because if Ling Wuyuan really wanted to challenge the young talents of [Yunling Prefecture].

Logically speaking.

He should have first made a name for himself in [Snowdeer Prefecture].

After all, weren't the young talents of [Snowdeer Prefecture] people too?

It should be understood that the overall strength of [Snowdeer Prefecture] was no weaker than [Yunling Prefecture].

Therefore, Ling Wuyuan had no reason to run to [Yunling Prefecture] instead… …

But as far as he knew, after Ling Wuyuan left that nameless small gang, he didn't even wander around inside [Snowdeer Prefecture], and went straight to [Yunling Prefecture].

Moreover, throughout the entire process, the so-called fame actually contained various accidental feelings. It seemed that Ling Wuyuan had no intention of actively becoming famous at all.

Whether it was the group of bandits he used to sacrifice his sword, or the two local young talents of [Yunling Prefecture] who were easily defeated by Ling Wuyuan in [Huilin City], they all had a very strong feeling of actively delivering themselves to his door.

Based on these doubts.

Before, Sun Ting had actually discussed topics related to Ling Wuyuan with his colleagues.

“What is that guy's goal in coming to [Yunling Prefecture], or rather, [Dragonpeak City]?”

“Could it be that his background, or the so-called inheritance, actually has some special connection with [Yunling Prefecture]?”

“……”

But these questions, due to the lack of any substantial evidence, everyone's doubts ultimately had no answers at all.

They only knew that Ling Wuyuan must have a very clear goal in mind.

Otherwise.

He wouldn't keep moving forward in this direction!

And now, when facing Ling Wuyuan directly, Sun Ting chose to ask relevant questions as if unintentionally, wanting to satisfy his own curiosity.

In response, Ling Wuyuan only said with a very calm expression:

“I came to [Dragonpeak City] mainly to take a break along the way, wanting to buy some things here, and also to see the prosperity of a big city.”

Without any intention of avoiding it.

Ling Wuyuan directly told the truth.

“Buy things along the way and see a big city?”

After nodding slowly.

Feeling that things were not beyond his expectations, Sun Ting then continued to ask Ling Wuyuan:

“Do you need a guide? I can arrange a guide for you.”

“For example, arrange a local soldier for you.”

“Anyway, there are plenty of people.”

Hearing this.

Ling Wuyuan seemed a little hesitant:

“A guide… … ”

However, after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said:

“Forget it, I feel like bringing someone would be a bit of a hassle.”

Seeing him refuse, Sun Ting didn't say anything more, just casually replied:

“Alright then.”

“You might as well buy a copy of the latest city map after entering the city. After all, the actual area of this city is really not small. Even riding a military horse would take nearly a day and a night to run from the southernmost side to the northernmost side. Even the locals will get lost here… … ”

— —

Ten minutes later.

Ling Wuyuan had already left.

The newest novels are first published on Liǔ 9 Shūbā!

Sun Ting returned to his post once again.

He came to the top of the city gate, which was the command center on the city wall—the city tower.

That was a super-large building that looked like a fortress.

The overall height was nearly three hundred meters.

Looking out, various heavy crossbows and even special cannons were scattered everywhere, constantly proving to visitors that this place was definitely not easy to mess with!

And at the highest point of this city tower, several generals of different ages and genders had long been expecting Sun Ting's return.

“How is it?”

“Is he very strong?”

The speaker was a beautiful woman with an apparent age of about thirty-five years old.

Wearing exquisite armor, she exuded a sense of competence and heroism.

Regarding this question.

Sun Ting didn't answer directly.

Instead, he casually took off the metal glove he was wearing on his hand.

Showing his palm to everyone.

“Hmm~”

“He really suffered a big loss… … ”

Looking at Sun Ting's already swollen palm.

Everyone immediately discerned that Sun Ting's bone was at least cracked.

They made various exclamations.

Faced with these exclamations.

Sun Ting just said with a somewhat complicated tone:

“I only shook hands with him for one or two seconds, and he didn't use his full strength at all.”

“It's really a new generation pushing out the old… … ”

Listening to his exclamations containing complex emotions.

The chief general sitting in the main seat just shrugged indifferently:

“It should be so.”

“I think it's okay~”

“If the newcomers are not even as good as our group of old guys, doesn't that mean that the level of the newcomers has regressed?”

“You go apply medicine first, and then remember to write a report later. The people above have also been curious about Ling Wuyuan's abilities for a long time~”

Of course, having said that, looking at the disappointment on Sun Ting's face, the chief general's heart was also somewhat complicated.

He knew very well that this subordinate of his was also ranked at the top of the [Yunling Prefecture—Hero Ranking] decades ago.

Although he had been decadent for a period of time due to certain things.

But if it was him, that strength in the [Qi Nurturing Realm] was definitely considered to be very strong!

In a few decades.

The other party would be fully qualified to touch the [Source Gathering Realm].

And this.

Was also the reason why he would send him to contact Ling Wuyuan.

However.

Even so.

Just a simple handshake.

Ling Wuyuan still struck Sun Ting down on the spot… …

This shows that Ling Wuyuan's level may not have reached the [Source Gathering Realm], but his actual combat power has definitely reached that level, and even exceeded the average line of that level.

‘Six attributes and all five elements of true energy… …’

‘Alas… …’

Faced with the chief general's instructions, Sun Ting immediately replied: “Yes!”

Previously, the reason why he would contact Ling Wuyuan, in addition to the fact that he himself was somewhat interested in Ling Wuyuan, the main reason was the order from his superiors.

For all the rising stars.

Especially those with extraordinary talents, even among all the geniuses, they can still be called super-newcomers with outstanding talents, the official of [White Mist Country] has always been quite concerned.
