Open up and break into another world

If Xu Ming were here, he would definitely recognize who "Shen Hui" was below the arena.

Back then, when Xu Ming became a Dao Venerate and was returning to the Savage Sect from the Nine Radiant God Kingdom, he encountered a young man with a similar experience to his own; on a whim, he taught that young man a Heaven-rank cultivation technique, the 《Nine Yang Reverse Meridian Art》—that young man was Shen Hui.

However, immediately afterward, Xu Ming was ambushed by the Gold-Devouring Rat; the aftermath of the battle caused a catastrophe for that mortal kingdom. And Shen Hui survived.

Shen Hui was also tough; when his fellow disciple Wu Xuan challenged him by name, he didn't back down, but directly leaped onto the arena.

However, toughness and strength were two completely different things!

Shen Hui's strength was inferior to his opponent; after getting on the arena, he was immediately beaten back step by step.

But Shen Hui didn't show any weakness; even if he had to risk serious injury, he would still injure Wu Xuan—injuring the enemy by one hundred while harming himself by one thousand, Shen Hui would do it!

The powerful figures around the arena would occasionally glance at the battle on the stage. Of course, to the powerful figures, the battle between two Core Formation martial artists seemed somewhat bland.

The powerful figures couldn't help but shake their heads when they saw Shen Hui's fighting style:

"A reckless fool!"

"This Shen Hui is completely looking for abuse by going on stage!"

"His strength is inferior to his opponent, yet he still wants to act tough?—He's just humiliating himself!"

"He's brave enough, but he's just brainless!—Doesn't this Shen Hui know that the other party is completely toying with him?"

…

One powerful figure after another was talking amongst themselves, seeing the scene on the arena.

It was very obvious that the powerful figures disdained Shen Hui very much.

"Golden Sun!" The Lotus Flower Sacred Mistress even scoffed directly, "That reckless fool on the stage is from your Golden Sun Sacred Ground, right?—When did your Golden Sun Sacred Ground become so poor that you would even accept disciples of this level?"

The Golden Sun Sacred Lord also felt embarrassed: "It seems that a Dao Lord from the Asking Heart Palace asked for a favor to put him here… Oh well, just treat it as if we're supporting a mediocre talent!"

"However, you probably won't need to support him for too long!" The Lotus Flower Sacred Mistress said, "A reckless hothead like this, going out for actual combat training, will easily die!"

"Yes…" The Golden Sun Sacred Lord also shook his head in dissatisfaction, "How can there be such a stupid fighting style…"

Boom!

While speaking, Shen Hui had already been blasted off the arena.

Wu Xuan stood proudly on the stage with his hands behind his back, looking down at Shen Hui, and privately transmitted a mocking message: "Remember, when you kneel down and submit to me, I will stop hitting you!—Otherwise, I will still humiliate you whenever I have the chance!"

Shen Hui snorted coldly: "Want me to kneel down to you? No way!"

At this time, Shen Hui's teaching master—the Golden Sun Sacred Ground's "Dao Lord Zhan Yue"—scolded with great contempt: "You disgraceful thing, why don't you quickly roll back!—Do you know what place this is? This is the territory of the God of Palms 'Xu Ming'! If I had known you would embarrass yourself here, I wouldn't have brought you here! What a jinx!"

Shen Hui dragged his seriously injured body and silently returned to the corner.

"God of Palms Xu Ming…" Shen Hui had a complicated look in his eyes.

Back then, when Shen Hui was taught the Heaven-rank cultivation technique by Xu Ming, he didn't know Xu Ming's name.

However, later, Xu Ming quickly rose to prominence, becoming dazzling and popular in the Human Race.

Even in the various places of the three thousand six hundred territories, there were portraits of Xu Ming for sale. Many people would buy Xu Ming's portraits and offer them up, worshipping the "God of Examinations"…

And Shen Hui only knew after seeing Xu Ming's portrait that the Xu Ming he had encountered in his "serendipitous encounter" was actually one of the top powerhouses of the entire Human Race!

This time, with the reconstruction of the Savage Sacred Ground, Shen Hui tried all sorts of methods to beg his teaching master, Dao Lord Zhan Yue, to bring him to the Savage Mountain Range.

Shen Hui wanted to thank Xu Ming face-to-face; he also prepared a treasure, hesitating whether or not to offer it to Xu Ming.

However…

Shen Hui wasn't sure if he would have the chance to speak to Xu Ming; nor was he sure if Xu Ming would still recognize him.

Just then…

The originally noisy air suddenly quieted down.

Everyone's gazes all looked in one direction—Xu Ming had come out!

Today, Xu Ming was wearing a flamboyant red robe, looking very festive. Beside him, Gu Hanmo was holding his arm.

"Brother Xu Ming!"

"Brother Ming!"

"God of Palms!"

…

All kinds of greetings rang out.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Those who were qualified to call him "Brother Xu Ming" were at least invincible Dao Lords! Those with weaker strength were ashamed of themselves in front of Xu Ming and didn't dare to call him brother.

Xu Ming cupped his hands and smiled: "Thank you all for coming!—Please make yourselves at home; I'll come back to toast everyone at the banquet later!"

As he spoke, Xu Ming pulled Gu Hanmo and walked out.

The high-level members of the Asking Heart Palace, such as Palace Lord Po Tian, Demigod Qin Tian, Sword Lord, Zhan Wuwei, etc., were all about to arrive—they were all Xu Ming's good brothers, so Xu Ming naturally had to go out to greet them personally.

The crowd automatically parted a path for Xu Ming to pass through.

Xu Ming walked towards the mountain gate with a smile on his face.

When passing by Shen Hui, Xu Ming was slightly surprised.

"Eh? Shen Hui!" How terrifying was the memory of a super powerhouse, Xu Ming recognized Shen Hui at a glance, "I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon! Even more unexpected that it would be here… Haha!"

Shen Hui was stunned—he didn't expect that a super existence like Xu Ming would actually stop to greet him!

After Xu Ming left…

The way the people around Shen Hui looked at him completely changed!

"Shen Hui." Teaching Master Dao Lord Zhan Yue's eyes were shining, "Do you know Brother Ming?—Could you introduce him to me? I don't have any other extravagant requests, I just want to toast Brother Ming with a cup of wine; that way, I'll have something to brag about for the rest of my life!"

Toasting the God of Palms was the dream of many experts and powerhouses of the Human Race!

Dao Lord Zhan Yue was one of those who had such a dream.

"Uh…" Shen Hui looked blankly at his master—he had never seen his master speak to him so kindly.

You must know that just now, Dao Lord Zhan Yue was still scolding him for being disgraceful!

Those powerful figures around who had just despised and condemned Shen Hui were also very kind, as if they had suddenly become Shen Hui's closest elders.

However, Shen Hui remembered how harsh and unvarnished those powerful figures had been when they spoke about him.

Thump!

Wu Xuan was even more exaggerated, rushing over and kneeling at Shen Hui's feet, hugging Shen Hui's thigh: "Brother Hui, I submit to you! From now on, you are my boss, Wu Xuan!"

Even the Golden Sun Sacred Lord patted Shen Hui's shoulder approvingly and said: "From now on, you will cultivate with me!"

Everything around him had turned around too suddenly!

However, Shen Hui was very clear that all of this was only because—he knew Xu Ming!

Xu Ming's deterrent power in the Human Race was too great, so much so that Shen Hui only had a slight connection with Xu Ming, and the people around him surrounded him like stars surrounding the moon.

This was Brother Ming's influence!

Shen Hui looked in the direction where Xu Ming had left, and his originally somewhat hesitant gaze gradually became firm: "That treasure…"

I was stuck in a rut and couldn't write a single word, but I finally straightened out the plot. There will be only two updates tonight, I won't continue writing, I still have to work tomorrow.
