Chapter 160: Tank Assassin
The old man sitting in the cabin opened his eyes. Just now, he sensed that Zhao Yushu had climbed onto the boat. Usually, this guy would need to soak for half a day, but today it was only half an hour.
The next moment, the old man stood on the deck, looking at Zhao Yushu who was fished out by Wei You, and couldn't help frowning.
"Give it here. I've figured it out." Zhao Yushu stretched out his hand and looked at the old man with a smile.
"I don't think you've figured it out."
"You told me to figure it out, but you didn't say I must figure it out the way you wanted. I am destined to be a stubborn stone. This is my answer."
"Hmph, you are so self-righteous. Here you go. Can you hold it?" The old man took out the water ball and put it directly in Zhao Yushu's hand: "Are you going to eat it or drink it?"
"Speaking of eating, I actually have a friend who has eaten this thing." Zhao Yushu couldn't help but laugh. On that day, Black Deer did gnaw on the core of the Mountain God Fruit bite by bite, but that core only contained the vitality of the Mountain God, without the divinity.
"I don't know if you have independent consciousness." Zhao Yushu muttered to himself while holding the water ball.
The old man rolled his eyes and said, "It's just a treasure filled with spiritual energy. How can it have independent consciousness?"
Zhao Yushu's eyes suddenly lit up: "You don't know what this is?"
If the old man really didn't know what it was, then was it just a coincidence that he took out these two good things? Or was he just extremely lucky?
"A water monster in a wild lake in the north overestimated its own capabilities and tried to drag me into the water. I killed it with one palm and the things that fell off were useless to me, and Wei You couldn't use them either, so how could it have any self-awareness?"
Zhao Yushu realized that although the old man's martial arts skills were extremely high, his knowledge was not like the omniscient and almighty anti-human gods in the novels of his previous life. After all, in this world, cultivation and lifespan are not linked. People only live for a hundred years, so it would be abnormal for them to know everything.
"Brother, don't you know either?"
Wei You smiled and said, "I said it was the lake god appointed by the Liao Kingdom. The teacher said there was no god in such a small lake. There seems to be something different from spiritual power in it."
As expected of you, you are much more knowledgeable than the old man.
Zhao Yushu looked at the water ball again: "If you don't understand, I will kill you with a knife later. If you understand, you have two choices. Either you take the initiative or I will do it directly."
"What are you talking about?" the old man said impatiently.
"Your perception is so strong, you should know where the knife you gave me is." Zhao Yushu said as he transformed into Minghong.
It's okay to joke with an old man, but if you really think he is a fool and think he can't detect your secrets, then you are deceiving yourself.
"So there's another one." Wei You leaned over and took a closer look at Ming Hong: "I didn't see you had a storage bag. Is this your secret?"
"I hope you can keep it a secret for me."
"nature."
The old man stood with his hands behind his back and squinted his eyes as he looked at the ball of water that had been following him for more than a year. Could this thing really have consciousness?
Minghong and the water ball were getting closer and closer. Minghong made a cheerful chirp, as if he was excited about the feast that was about to be taken.
The water ball, which usually just glowed, suddenly trembled, suddenly jumped out of Zhao Yushu's water, and fell straight into the river.
Damn, he can still run! Zhao Yushu was horrified and hurried to jump down.
The old man snorted coldly, and Zhao Yushu's body, which was jumping in the air, suddenly froze in place. Then he watched the water ball twisting unwillingly, slowly rising from the surface of the river, and hovering in front of him.
"After all your talk, the other person still doesn't want to be with you. Do you want to reconsider it?" The old man seized the opportunity and mocked her without any hesitation.
Zhao Yushu's face turned red. "I didn't expect it to be so ungrateful and dare to run away in front of you. I'm going to help you vent your anger!"
Minghong raised it, and before Zhao Yushu could stab it, the water ball immediately stopped twisting, turned into a ball of water light, clung to Minghong, and was quickly absorbed.
Minghong's whole body lit up, a hint of blue attached to the sword, and drops of golden liquid dripped from the shadow of Minghong above the sea of consciousness into the sea of consciousness. The amount was far greater than that of the Nine Peaks Mountain God.
Zhao Yushu felt the baptism of the divine spiritual power. The seal that the old man had placed on him was also being madly impacted at this moment. Madam Xu moved slightly, and seized an opportunity to mix the sharp spiritual power into it, piercing the seal in one fell swoop. Old Zhao's whole body felt light, and a flash of golden light appeared around him and then he disappeared.
"Hmm?" The old man sensed that his seal was broken, and immediately took a step forward and pressed his palm into Zhao Yushu's abdomen.
Zhao Yushu only felt his whole body tremble. The force of this palm was like hitting the water and was dispersed throughout his body. With the same force, he would have been seriously injured, but now he was only slightly injured at most.
Lao Zhao took three steps back and looked at his stomach in astonishment. Ha, all the attributes of the godhood are put into healing and defense. If this goes on, I will become a meat tank. So he raised his head and laughed foolishly.
"I see." The old man only used half of his strength in that palm strike, with the purpose of testing what the flash of golden light was.
"Do you think you should give this thing to me to avoid losing out?"
"Come on, only those who are not favored by others can get your turn."
"Please find a chance to get me a few more."
"roll!"
"okay!"
The old man walked away with his hands behind his back. Wei You came over and asked, "How many swords of that kind do you have?"
"secret."
"Brother, I am really curious." Wei You rubbed his hands, impatient. Curiosity is a common problem among smart people. It is curiosity that makes them know more and become smarter.
"Ask the teacher to find me another good weapon, and I'll tell you."
"Okay, let's change the question. What is the difference between the spiritual power of the water ball?"
"Brother, do you know about gods?"
"I've seen them a few times. In my opinion, these gods are more like mountain spirits and wild monsters, a special kind of monks formed with the help of the Emperor's purple energy. Judging from your appearance, they seem to be different."
Zhao Yushu nodded, and gathered some divine spiritual power at his fingertips: "It is a spiritual power of a special nature, which is somewhat related to their previous positions, such as the Lake God."
Wei You's eyes lit up: "Compared to them, you are special. It's not like no one has eaten that water ball-like thing before, and apart from replenishing some spiritual power, no one found anything else."
"Brother, stop it. Looking at your expression, I feel like I will be sliced into pieces at any time. Anyway, if you have this thing in the future, please persuade the old man to keep it for me."
Wei You nodded immediately.
Zhao Yushu let out a long sigh, feeling mixed emotions of joy and sorrow. He was happy that he had obtained another very practical good thing, but he was worried that he had wasted the divinity of the mountain god.
However, he knew nothing at the time and had no regrets. Now he was more looking forward to what the third test would be. From these two times, the old man's intention was very clear, which was to help him improve his strength as much as possible and at the same time make him restrain himself.
This is a conflict of three views. The old man's strength is like a god in this world, but the Tang Dynasty is still so corrupt. The eldest brother and others subconsciously turned a blind eye to the tragedy on the outskirts of Dongdu. It can be seen that the masters of this era do not have the vision and ideas that transcend the times.
Cultivators are naturally high and mighty, but old leader Honglian is an exception. If Zhao Yushu heard the old leader's last words, he might think that the successor the old leader mentioned might not be Fang Sanniang.
"Let's go and see what my last question is."
