Open up and break into another world

Five days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Ming arrived at the Wild Martial Manor as promised.

Compared to the magnificent gate of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, the gate of the Wild Martial Manor seemed rather shabby; however, Xu Ming knew that in this era that valued imposing appearances, this shabbiness was called "heritage."

"I've heard that the heritage of the Wild Martial Manor is even greater than that of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion; I wonder if it's true!"

With this doubt in mind, Xu Ming walked into the Wild Martial Manor.

The Wild Martial Manor didn't have the hustle and bustle of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion; the entire manor only had a few hundred people. Xu Ming walked within the manor and couldn't even see many figures.

It wasn't until he passed through a long bluestone road and arrived at the Wild Martial Manor's plaza that he saw a gathering of over a hundred people.

"These must be the new disciples who have entered the Wild Martial Manor this year!"

Each year, the Wild Martial Manor only recruits over a hundred people; although the number is only one-tenth of that of the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion, each and every one of them is an elite.

In fact, some conceited young people would even give up participating in the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's recruitment and specifically come to the Wild Martial Manor.

Xu Ming found the registration desk and began to register, and his actions immediately attracted many gazes.

"Huh? Another newcomer?"

"Yeah, how is there still one more? I didn't see this person during the new disciple assessment a few days ago!"

"Could he be someone with connections?"

"How is that possible? The Wild Martial Manor isn't a chaotic place like the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion. Our Manor Lord, who is rarely seen, is very strict! So far, I haven't heard of anyone who has gotten in through connections!"

"That's true!"

The group of new disciples looked at Xu Ming and discussed amongst themselves.

"Hey? That guy looks a bit familiar!" Suddenly, someone shouted, "Isn't that the person who took forbidden drugs during the Flying Cloud Martial Pavilion's recruitment?"

"The person who took forbidden drugs? Right, it's him! I saw him make a move; his spear technique is quite good!"

"Good spear technique?" Someone immediately retorted, "If his spear technique was really that good, would he need to take forbidden drugs?"

It had to be said that Lin Muqing's rumor-mongering and smearing were very successful. At least, most of the people who were there that day believed that Xu Ming had taken forbidden drugs—after all, the strength Xu Ming had displayed at the time had already exceeded their understanding. If he hadn't taken forbidden drugs, how could a Fourth-Rank Outer Refinement be so strong?

"Took forbidden drugs?" Some people around who hadn't heard of this matter revealed expressions of disdain upon hearing it, "How could scum who took forbidden drugs to participate in the assessment appear in our Wild Martial Manor? Moreover, he's actually registering there!"

Xu Ming, who was in the midst of registering, only felt a chill run down his back. When he turned his head, he discovered countless contemptuous gazes shooting towards him from afar.

"What's the situation?" Xu Ming was a little confused, "I'm new here and haven't offended anyone or done anything bad!"

However, what was the reason for this large group of people's unprovoked disdain?

"Put down the pen! Who told you to come to the Wild Martial Manor to register?" Just as Xu Ming was feeling bewildered, a thunderous roar rang out; immediately after, a tall and burly youth, at least two meters tall, carrying two large iron hammers as long as a person on his back, strode over menacingly.

Boom!

The tall youth suddenly stopped in front of Xu Ming, looked down at Xu Ming, and shouted, "Get out! Scum who take forbidden drugs, get out of the Wild Martial Manor!"

"What's going on?" Xu Ming continued to be confused.

However, when he heard the words "took forbidden drugs," he immediately guessed what was happening: "Damn it, Lin Muqing really smeared me badly! Now, I can randomly encounter a group of strangers who recognize me as someone who took forbidden drugs!—Damn, took forbidden drugs? I don't even know what forbidden drugs are; what am I taking!"

Xu Ming had to admit that Lin Muqing had really made a good move, at least successfully ruining his reputation. If he hadn't met an expert like Gu Hanmo with discerning eyes, he might really have been made it difficult to join a martial manor.

"Sun Ji, what are you doing!" The martial manor instructor in charge of registration shouted, "He is someone that the Manor Lord personally instructed us to take care of!"

"The Manor Lord personally instructed?" A look of realization appeared on the tall youth Sun Ji's face, "No wonder… no wonder you were able to use connections to come to our Wild Martial Manor. So it was the Manor Lord who personally instructed it!—But Senior Instructor, I am not convinced! Does the Manor Lord's personal instruction allow us to break the rules of our Wild Martial Manor? Especially for someone like this who took forbidden drugs, letting him in would simply be a disgrace to our Wild Martial Manor!"

"What are you shouting about?" Although the martial manor instructor also looked down on Xu Ming in his heart, believing that Xu Ming was someone who took forbidden drugs; however, he would never dare to neglect someone whom the Manor Lord had personally instructed, so he immediately rebuked Sun Ji.

"I've finished registering; can I leave now?" Xu Ming was too lazy to waste time with this simple-minded and well-developed "beast-man" Sun Ji.

"Yes, yes." The martial manor instructor made a "do as you please" gesture.

"Leave!?" Sun Ji blocked Xu Ming's path, "Where are you going? Who allowed you to leave?"

"None of your business!" Xu Ming didn't even bother to lift his eyes; he really didn't want to communicate with this kind of idiot who was missing a screw.

"None of my business!?"

A trace of doubt flashed in Sun Ji's eyes—that's right, whether he took forbidden drugs or not, it's none of my business!

However, this trace of doubt was only fleeting: "You scum who took forbidden drugs, being in the same martial manor as you is simply an insult to me! You, quickly get out!"

At this time, many new disciples had already gathered around. They all believed that Xu Ming had taken forbidden drugs, so they looked down on Xu Ming very much and wanted to see him make a fool of himself.

The surrounding onlookers were also stunned—

"Damn, this kid actually dares to call Sun Ji an idiot?"

"Although Sun Ji has a violent personality, his strength is very strong and is the undisputed number one in this batch!"

"That's right! Don't look down on Sun Ji just because his cultivation is only at the Fifth-Rank Outer Refinement, but he is born with divine strength! The instructors in the martial manor say that his strength is comparable to an Inner Refinement martial artist! Even those of us at the Sixth-Rank Outer Refinement are no match for him!"

"This kid is done for! When Sun Ji gets angry, he's like a bull, and even the instructors have a hard time stopping him!"

"Look, Sun Ji is about to get angry!"

Xu Ming silently observed.

He discovered that Sun Ji's brain really turned quite slowly; even getting angry took half a day to "charge up."

"I originally wanted to keep a low profile and stay in the Wild Martial Manor for a while, but now it seems that I can't keep a low profile!" Xu Ming glanced at the big fool Sun Ji with a hint of pity, "Since that's the case, I'll waste some hanging points and use you to establish my prestige!"

Xu Ming didn't want to be bothered by people constantly in the future, so the best way was undoubtedly—to establish a reputation!

This Sun Ji was the number one among this batch of new disciples in the Wild Martial Manor, stronger than even a Sixth-Rank Outer Refinement, and he even came to his door himself, so he just happened to become Xu Ming's target.

"What? I said you're an idiot, and you're angry?" Xu Ming continued to provoke, "It's okay; if you're not convinced, I'm always here waiting!"

"You're challenging me?" Sun Ji's eyes were ignited red with anger.

"No, to be precise, I'm going to abuse you!" Xu Ming smiled arrogantly.

The other disciples around were dumbfounded.

"This kid is too arrogant, right?"

"What's the use of being arrogant? Without strength, he's dead!"

"He probably thinks that as long as he takes forbidden drugs, he can be invincible! But how would he know how powerful Sun Ji is? Even if he took forbidden drugs, he would still be ravaged by Sun Ji!"

Even the martial manor instructor who was originally preparing to come up and mediate the fight was now very dissatisfied with Xu Ming's arrogance: "He took forbidden drugs, and he still dares to be so arrogant? I really don't understand why the Manor Lord would let such trash into our martial manor! Hmph, it's good for him to suffer a little, so he won't be so shameless in the martial manor all day long!"

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, Sun Ji calmed down instead and even learned an idiom: "Hmph, boastful! Since you want to fight, I'll let you lose convincingly—hurry up and take the forbidden drugs, lest you say I'm bullying you!"

The surrounding area was also filled with jeers.

"Haha, kid, hurry up and take the forbidden drugs!"

"That's right, let us all open our eyes and see how powerful your forbidden drugs are!"

"Idiot!" Xu Ming mocked again, "Today, I'll let you understand a principle—you can't believe everything people say!"

"Show off the two big hammers behind you!" Xu Ming stretched out his hand, signaling him to come at him; he was also prepared to activate the "Perfect Battle" cheat at any time.

Although Xu Ming appeared arrogant, he was actually very cautious. After all, Sun Ji's two big hammers were quite intimidating; the two large iron blocks at the top were half a meter in diameter. If he accidentally got grazed by them, it wouldn't be a joke.

"You're empty-handed and want me to show my weapons?" Sun Ji chuckled dumbly, his anger dropping by 10%, "Come on, scum, I'll just stand here and let you have three moves!"

"Let me have three moves?" Xu Ming smiled strangely, "I don't need three moves; just one punch is enough to make you recognize reality!"
