After crossing the Grand Canyon, Fang ping and the others did not see the Daoist priest from last time. They did not know where he had gone.
Old Zhang ... Was still touching Fang Ping's head!
Fang ping was about to break down!
What did that mean?
I'm not your son, why are you always touching my head!
Old Zhang continued to stroke, stroke ... Until they were out of the canyon. Fang ping twisted his head. 'That's enough. I'm not a dog. Enough.'
Zhang Tao didn't continue, nor did he fly. He said while walking,""Fang ping, will you be able to break through this time when you leave the catacombs?"
"Almost ..."
"In that case, you're about to reach rank-7. The young people nowadays are stronger than we were back then."
Zhang Tao sighed with emotion.
Fang ping was a little surprised. Did old people like to recall the past?
"Not many of our generation are still alive." Zhang Tao's eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life as he said softly,""I still remember that there were a total of 36 martial artists who went into the catacombs with me back then ..."
"Time flies ... I'm the only one left alive."
Zhang Tao's tone was slightly low. This time, he was not targeting Fang ping. He turned to look at Yu Haishan and mumbled,"Back then, some people were actually more talented than me. Some broke through earlier than me, and some entered rank-7 or even rank-8 earlier than me ...
"But we humans are weak and can't win against the catacombs. To be able to gain a foothold in the catacombs, there will always be people bleeding.
"I still remember a companion of the same age, 48 years old, entering rank-8!
"However, that year, when the catacombs invaded, he single-handedly held off a rank-9 with his bare hands. In the end, his golden body collapsed and he was completely obliterated.
Back then, if he had a divine weapon in his hands ... He would not be afraid of a rank-9!
"We humans are proud of ourselves. A rank-8 fighting a rank-9 on his own. His combat power is remarkable ... What a pity. If he had not died that year, perhaps Hua nation would have another Paragon.
It wasn't just him, many people were the same.
"Prodigy martial artists who are less than a hundred years old, rank-8 or rank-9, old, seriously injured, travel a thousand miles alone, and fight with their bare hands to the last moment of their lives ..."
"Human!"
"The humans of this era, the martial artists of this era, who can be compared to them?"
"It hurts! We have strength, but we are useless! "They can't even provide a mere seventh-grade or eighth-grade magic weapon. They can't even make those martial artists fight with their bare hands ..."
In the crowd, su Zisu was on the verge of tears.
How tragic!
Iron head's expression changed again and again. Humans were indeed miserable.
Many grandmasters did not even have a weapon when they fought in the catacombs because alloy weapons were useless to them.
He thought about how many divine weapons he had obtained this time ...
Before iron head could speak, Yao Chengjun said in a deep voice,"Minister ..."
"Achoo!"
Fang ping sneezed extremely loudly, then said with a sorrowful expression,"Humans are so miserable!"
Old Zhang, what are you doing!
You're a Paragon expert, but you're on the verge of tears in front of us. Have some shame.
'Bare-handed', how many times have you said that?
I've already said 12 rounds and I've given you all my assets, yet you're still talking about this. Are you still going to live?
Zhang Tao quickly recovered and chuckled,""I've lost my self-control. I'm old, and I've seen you young people grow up, so I have more thoughts ..."
At the side, Yao Chengjun spoke again,"Minister, I've obtained a lot of divine weapons from the king battle field this time ..."
Zhang Tao waved his hand."The catacombs gains are your own. Make good use of them and don't waste them."
Yao Chengjun nodded."The first military school doesn't need that many. Now that the human situation is critical, Chengjun's strength is weak. I can only do what I can to provide 10 rank-7 divine weapons for the seniors ..."
Fang ping raised his head and looked at the sky!
The days won't end!
Yao Chengjun, we're irreconcilable!
'You've already handed in 10, which means you've gained more than that. If you have so many ... How many do I have?'
I've just duped old Zhang, and you're going to ruin my reputation?
I'll hammer you to death, do you believe me?
"Also, you should ask for some benefits. Divine weapons are actually useless. The key is that you donate them for free ..."
On the other hand, old Zhang's expression turned serious. He cupped his hands and said,""I'll thank you on everyone's behalf! "It's precisely because of you people that mankind has what it is now and have successors. For the first military school to produce such a student, Sino nation is honored, martial arts universities are honored!
Of course, these are your personal gains after all ... How about this, I can't take out anything else.
Yao Chengjun, you used to be a Lieutenant of the military department. You've made a great contribution this time, and your military rank has been promoted to general!
Other than that, the first military school's basic resources and allocation this year will be increased by 30%...
Also, I can see that your spiritual power is strong, but your body is not strong enough. I'll give you a golden body fruit to help you forge a semi-golden body ..."
"Minister!"
Yao Chengjun was touched. He was extremely touched that a Paragon expert would treat him like this.
On the side, iron head and old Wang were getting restless.
Fang ping continued to look at the sky. 'You guys continue, I'll just listen.'
Old Yao is definitely a fake. Don't think I don't know.
Old Zhang didn't give iron head the chance to speak. He waved his hand, signaling for them to stop talking.
Who didn't know how to act?
He had lived for almost a hundred years, so he was still good at playing hard to get.
With that, old Zhang no longer stayed on the ground. Just like before he came, he broke through the air and rushed out at an extremely fast speed.
At this moment, Fang ping and the others gathered together.
Fang ping looked at old Yao, then at iron head and old Wang. He grinned."Guys, is the money too much?"
"Cough cough!"
Wang Jinyang cleared his throat and said, "It's not easy to become a Grandmaster in China ..."
"I know!"
Fang ping was speechless."It's not easy for me either. Why don't you guys sponsor me a little too? "That's enough, just take out two or three. Aren't you guys going to live?"
There were so many people in nmau who were crying for food!
The first military school's side was also famished.
"It's the same for mcmau. We're so hungry that we can't even walk.
If you want a divine weapon, sure, buy it!
Exchanging for medicinal pills, exchanging for energy stones, exchanging for energy fruits ...
He didn't have any divine weapons, but he did have some of these, right?
"If the martial arts universities become strong, Sino nation will become strong as well. It's not like it's a waste. If you give it away just like that, what will happen to the martial arts universities?
"We understand that it's not easy for the Minister. It's been too hard for him. He's been worried about the overall situation of mankind. This time, he's worried about us again. It's too difficult.
"However, the martial arts universities are also the Minister's favorite. If the martial arts universities become strong, the Minister will also be happy. Isn't that right?
"Therefore, we should take care of ourselves at this time. Martial arts is more important. When we reach the Paragon, we can just kill a few paragons and it will be enough for everyone to eat. Only then will we have the ability to give back to all mankind ..."
In front, Zhang Tao, who was flying, twitched his mouth.
'Alright, this kid said so much. It's obvious that he's not willing to give it to me.'
Forget it, it doesn't matter if I don't send him off. With this kid's ability to cause trouble ... Sooner or later, he'll have to ask me for help. Next time, I'll call seven or eight paragons to support him, including the transportation fee. You should prepare the money first!
Come to think of it ... He was a Paragon, but he was not as rich as a rank-6. There was no justice in this!
Zhang Tao wondered if he should go on an adventure.
A trip to the world and the forbidden Sea?
Zhang Tao sighed. He couldn't leave.
If they were to fall for it, it would be troublesome.
Even if he didn't die, he would be in big trouble if he couldn't get out.
If they were delayed for three to five years, the war would have already broken out by the time they came out. They would be the sinners of mankind.
……
Old Zhang acted as the driver and took everyone flying. Everyone also had time to chat.
At this time, Fang ping also had time to look at the others.
"Where are the people from the other sacred lands?" Fang ping asked after scanning the area.
"They came out earlier than us. The other clans have already left with their people."
"When the king war zone was in chaos, some people came out, and some people died," Du Hong said.
"Dead? How many of them died?"
"Not many, four or five. I didn't look closely." "I'm worried that there will be problems if I stay here, so I left earlier,"said Du Hong. However, the Minister and senior battle King were both present, so no one stopped them. "
Those people were not the ones involved, so they did not know anything. The dynasty disciples who came out did not know them either.
These guys wanted to leave, but with the two human paragons present, they let them go.
When Fang ping heard this, he pouted and said,"you're so timid."
Du Hong was speechless. If you weren't Chinese, we would have left too!
At that time, there were many paragons. Were they really not afraid of death?
The people of the Forbidden Zone didn't leave because it was their territory.
Of the other five parties, only 16 people had entered the rank-six region this time. Four or five had died. The loss rate was not high, but it was not low either.
Fang ping could not be bothered with them. He glanced at the Hua side and noticed that a few people were missing.
Before he came out, some people had come out before him, so he didn't take a closer look.
At this moment, Fang ping swept his gaze across the room and asked,"What about us?"
"I'm not very lucky," Du Hong said helplessly."When I came out, I encountered a group of demonic beasts. Chen Ping died in battle ..."
This time, there were only four people from the military, including Du Hong and Li Yiming.
Chen Ping was a descendant of the Chen clan, and his clan's patriarch was The Guardian.
The other party had actually died in battle!
Fang ping was slightly surprised. As for sadness, it was not that sad, and they were not close.
"Where did Li Fei and Zheng nanqi go?"
These two people were not here either. Only Jiang Chao and su Zisu were here in Star Town City.
"People from the seventh-grade region have come out. There are people from the Li and Zheng family. They've brought them along with them."
Fang ping nodded and did not say anything.
In that situation, these people were afraid of being implicated, so it was normal for them to leave.
Taking advantage of the fact that the two sides had yet to fall out, it would not affect anything if these outsiders left.
However ... Fang ping glanced at su Zisu and smiled.""Little su, why didn't you leave?"
Su Zisu's eyes widened. I'm older than you!
How did it become little su?
Even though she was depressed, su Zisu still giggled.""Jiang Chao said it's fine. Since patriarch Jiang is here, I'm not afraid anymore ..."
Fang ping glanced at her, then at fatty. Suddenly, he smiled ambiguously."Little su, you seem to believe in fatty."
Jiang Chao said it was fine, and she didn't want to leave. What was going on with this woman?
Could it be that she had really taken a fancy to fatty?
Jiang Chao pursed his lips and didn't explain. 'You can think whatever you want. If I, Jiang Chao, say that I'm fine, what else can happen?'
Even if we can't defeat them, there's still a chance for us to run away with the few of them.
As for Li Fei and Zheng nanqi, they did not leave on their own. They were both from the rank-seven region, and those people did not trust Jiang Chao. Moreover, Jiang Chao had never met them, so it was normal for him to take his own people away.
They were just chatting. Fang ping saw that old Wang seemed to want to say something, so he pressed his hand down to stop him from speaking.
Old Zhang was still there. This old man loved to eavesdrop. The walls had ears.
On old Wang and iron head's side, the two of them had not entered rank-7. They had not even entered upper-stage rank-6, but it was not as if they had not gained anything.
These two guys had actually released their spiritual power.
Externalization was not materialization. If they could reach the stage of externalization and seal the mental door later, the two of them would be able to enter the mentality-vitality fusion realm.
Once the mind gate was sealed, one's mind power would increase once. Since the life gate was sealed to begin with, it did not benefit him previously. This time, his mind power might increase once more.
At this rate, he was probably not far from being able to materialize.
The two of them did not seem to have gained as much as Yao Chengjun, but iron head, that bastard, had left an ancient weapon with ninth-grade materials with him.
At this thought, Fang ping shot a glance at iron head. He was not giving it to him!
If she gave it to this bastard, he might hand it over later and she would confiscate it ... No, she would save it for him!
As for old Wang, he seemed to have gained something else as well. He had been wanting to say something, but Fang ping did not have the time to listen.
……
Zhang Tao's speed was indeed very fast. It did not take long for the group to arrive at a human city.
This time, Fang ping had the time to observe.
When he saw someone in the city wearing the uniform of the Ministry of Education, Fang ping looked around and said,""Minister, the Wu an Army is here?"
"Yes."
"They're all from martial arts universities?"
"Most of them are."
"There are no traitors in the Wu an Army, right?"
“……”
Zhang Tao did not say anything, but Fang ping suddenly felt like he was about to suffocate!
Old Zhang was teaching him a lesson!
Fang Ping's face was flushed red. After a long while, he finally heaved a heavy sigh. His face was gloomy. 'Just you wait. Those who bullied me in the past have all been taught a lesson by me now. It's only a matter of time before you're done for!'
Since old Zhang had confirmed that there were no traitors, Fang ping gave fatty a kick.
Fatty was a little confused. He didn't understand this time.
Fang ping swept a glance at the city below, his eyebrows raised.
Fatty calculated for a moment and seemed to have understood. Then, he roared,""Mcmau Fang ping killed 18 catacombs rank-7 martial artists, showing off the might of Sino nation, showing off the might of martial arts university, unrivaled in martial arts university!"
The city below was in an uproar.
The next moment, a rank-9 powerhouse rose into the air and glanced at Zhang Tao, showing a hint of inquiry.
Zhang Tao pretended not to see it and waved his hand. "Let's go back, we'll be going out first!"
This rank-9 powerhouse did not ask much. He swept his gaze across the crowd and seemed to recognize Fang ping. When he saw Fang Ping, he smiled and nodded.
Fang ping laughed in return, then smacked the Fatty's head and scolded him in a low voice, "Don't talk nonsense! Your brother and old Yao also killed a few ..."
Jiang Chao laughed."Then you've also killed more than 10. You've finally gotten your revenge."
"Fang ping, you'll be first in rank-7 this time, right?" he added.
"Stop spouting nonsense. It's everyone's responsibility to kill the catacombs martial artists. What's the use of being listed on the board? Do we martial artists need false reputation?"
"That's true, but you're still impressive. A rank-6 actually managed to kill quite a few upper-stage rank-7s ..."
"I was just lucky,"
"That's also strength. With your strength, you can even be a Governor. "
"Get lost. Why would I be the governor?"
“……”
Fatty reacted and nodded.""That's true. You're from mcmau. You're more suitable to be the Vice-Chancellor. "
"Don't be ridiculous, I'm only so old. "
"A hero doesn't care about his origin or his age. I think you're the only one who can lead mcmau to a better place and become stronger."
"Fatty, I'm going to beat you up if you keep talking nonsense!"
"Don 't, don' T. I'm just happy for you."
“……”
The two of them continued to chat enthusiastically.
Of course, it was not loud.
However, who here didn't have some strength?
At this moment, Zhang Tao had already landed with everyone. As he walked towards the passageway, he said indifferently,""That's enough. "
Fang ping looked as if he did not know what he meant. Jiang Chao laughed and said, I'm just saying it in private. But seriously, Fang ping didn't just kill over 10 rank-7s this time. He killed hundreds of rank-7s!
"No, maybe there are rank-8 and rank-9 powerhouses ... These catacombs geniuses below high-rank were almost wiped out by him in one fell swoop.
"In Sino nation, Speaking of which, there shouldn't be any rank-7 or 8 martial artists who have contributed more than Fang ping," the fatty added.
Fang ping was a little angry and chided,"you're still talking!"
Zhang Tao's face turned black. F * ck, I can't help but want to chop someone up!
He didn't want to say anything and directly dragged everyone into the passage.
The moment they entered the passageway, Fang ping and the rest did not feel anything the last time and went out directly.
This time, however, Fang ping was a little surprised and also a little scared. The passageway was shaking!
It wouldn't shatter, right?
Zhang Tao, on the other hand, was not as worried. He said as he walked,"The passage from the peak is a little unstable, which is caused by the energy resonance. However, as the time it takes for the passage to form increases, the passage will become more and more stable, and there won't be any more problems in the later stages. "
Fang ping understood. He seemed to have thought of something and immediately said,"Minister, you mean ... In fact, we couldn't enter the summit through the passage in the past?"
"Yes,"
"Not even the catacombs?"
"Not bad."
"Then now ... Now that the passages have appeared in various places for a long time, doesn't that mean ..."
Zhang Tao confirmed his thoughts and said,""Back then, the catacombs 'apex could only enter the human world through the passageway in Mount Yuhai, which is the passageway in Star Town City. So, in the past, when Star Town City guarded that passageway, the catacombs' apex could never enter earth.
"However, as the number of catacombs passageways opened up increased, a stable network was gradually formed.
"The catacombs passageways do not exist alone. Fang ping, perhaps you do not understand, but I will explain it more clearly. The 108 passageways are actually a huge net, a huge net that connects the two worlds!
This web was not stable before. It was like a spider's web. Because there was not much spider silk in between, the spider's web would break when something heavier pressed on it.
"However, when there are more Spider threads and the web is stronger, you can put more weight on it. Although one Spider thread can't bear the weight, the other Spider threads will be able to share the pressure.
At that time, not to mention one Paragon, even eight to ten paragons can walk through the passage together. "
Fang Ping's pupils contracted!
What did that mean?
He actually understood!
"In other words, in the past, due to the lack of passageways and the instability of the passageways, the catacombs 'apex can not actually enter the human world through the passageways.
If they wanted to leave, they could only take the path between the mountain of resisting sea and star suppression city.
Therefore, when humans entered earth through the defense of the paragons, they only had to defend that side.
Of course, it was possible that there was such a path in China, and other Holy Lands also had it.
"Now, with the increase in the number of catacombs opening, in the future, if these catacombs 'peaks really want to enter the human world, they can use all 108 passageways!
In this way ... It was almost impossible to defend!
It was no wonder that in the past two years, the higher-ups of the human race had been saying that they might give up a part of the region. Perhaps the pressure from the outer region was not the root of the problem. It was the pressure from the Forbidden Zone, the pressure from the peak.
"Minister, how many passageways have been opened?"
" 102 lines."
Zhang Tao had already led everyone out of the passage. He turned around and said,""Right now, there are still six passageways that have not been opened! "There's still one more in China. In fact, we can already sense the changes. It might be activated in the next one or two years.
It was the same in other places.
In the next two to three years, these passageways would probably open.
"Once it's activated, although we have people guarding the defensive Sea Mountain...At that time, there will be passageways to earth everywhere.
He didn't have to think about which way to go anymore, because that would be the real trouble!
We've been fighting monster plant clan for many years. We're actually stalling for time, and so are they.
It would delay the opening of all the outer region's passageways!
There were only a few openings to begin with, and we could still defend them. But now, the barriers between the two realms are filled with openings. With more than a hundred of them, how are we going to block them?"
Zhang Tao sighed and said with a complicated tone,""I wanted to buy you more time. Perhaps you could grow longer and become stronger, but time waits for no one.
"In two to three years, when the passageway is fully opened, we might give up a portion of the area and focus on defending another portion.
The outer region was just the vanguard.
The true enemy was still the Forbidden Zone.
In the past, the catacombs 'apex did not enter the outer region because of this. This was because if they came to the outer region, they would not be able to come.
With too many people, the tunnel collapsed.
If there are too few people, we might surround and kill them.
Your generation is both fortunate and unfortunate.
"The fortunate thing is that your generation actually grew up in a better environment. The more catacombs passageways opened, the more resources you'll be allocated. In the past, martial arts universities would not have recruited so many people.
Not only that, the density of the world Energy here made cultivation much easier.
Unfortunately, you have too little time.
Two to three years later, the passageway would be fully opened. This might not be the time for the final battle. However, in five to eight years, the passageway would be completely stabilized. Monster plant clan and monster life clan had actually been communicating and linking up ...
When the two sides were connected, the passage was completely stable.
The final battle is about to begin. "
At this point, Zhang Tao sighed again,""Today, we human martial artists still lack some high-end power. Therefore, the most important thing now is to fully arm those high-ranked martial artists so that they have stronger abilities, so that they can go to more places, fight with stronger opponents, and reap more things ..."
Fang ping sighed as well. He sighed so much that his heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys were about to come out.
Old Zhang, that's really enough!
Acting pitiful again!
"Minister, I'm willing to sponsor 12 divine weapons for grandmasters in China! In addition, I'm auctioning 18 of them. Do you think this is enough?"
Zhang Tao glanced at him."Kid, you promised to give me 12 handfuls of cash, and now you're volunteering?"
Alright, whatever this kid says, as long as the item is here.
As for the auction ...
Thinking of this, Zhang Tao nodded."Sure, but it's not easy for everyone. Set a limit. It can't exceed 10 billion." Actually, you can use this opportunity to auction off all the things you don't need.
The others too, I'll be there to support you ..."
This kid really has a lot of good things. It's better to take them all out.
Auction ... Zhang Tao was even considering whether to let the government print more money. Anyway, the money was in the hands of this kid, so the economy would not collapse.
Unexpectedly, Fang ping also said immediately,"I don't accept cash!" No one would use such a thing in an auction for powerhouses. Don't you think so, Minister?"
How could he not know what Zhang Tao was thinking?
When that time comes, money will become waste paper. What would I want that for? it might depreciate, and I won't be able to spend a single cent.
Zhang Tao couldn't help but laugh. Before he left, he said,"I still have something to do. When we have time, we'll ..."
Fang ping said immediately,"Minister, I'm thinking of holding a Grandmaster's banquet for my breakthrough this time. Do you want to show your support?" I think it's fine to hold the auction on that day. Everyone can celebrate together. It's a big day, and I'm sure I'll be in a good mood that day. I'll give everyone a discount, don't you think?"
At this point, Fang ping was also a little excited.
I want to hold a Grandmaster's banquet!
I still have to invite the paragons to participate, this face ... Which Grandmaster in the world has more face than me?
Just thinking about it made him happy!
If other people held Grandmaster banquets, not to mention paragons, it would be good enough if even one rank-9 came!
I have to think, how many experts should I invite?
"Let's not talk about mcmau. Rank-9 like Nan yunyue, Wu Chuan, Zhang Weiyu, li deyong ... All of these people will be invited!
I'll consider inviting them to Star Town City.
Then, there were the people from the various divisions, the governors, and the grandmasters from the battle of Tiannan ...
"I wonder if commander li has the time ..."
Fang ping mumbled in a low voice. If he had the time, would he be able to come if he invited them?
Zhang Tao's movements were slightly sluggish. This kid ... Was so overjoyed to this extent ... He had no words.
However, young people wanted face, ostentatiousness, and liked to show off. It wasn't a bad thing, but it made people not know whether to laugh or cry.
Zhang Tao was just about to speak when Fang ping said, "I'm hosting a Grandmaster's banquet, so I'm definitely not stingy! If you have any descendants, bring them all. Energy stones, energy fruits, medicinal pills, demonic beast meat ... Eat and use as much as you want!
The whole world is celebrating. Minister, do you think I care about such a small thing?
Then, we'll have some junior sparring on the spot and reward them with some divine weapons or something ..."
Zhang Tao's body froze once again. F * ck, this isn't a Grandmaster's banquet, it should be a peak banquet.
Even when I broke through to the absolute peak, I wasn't as arrogant as you.
Also, who are you referring to when you say junior?
How old was this kid this year?
Zhang Tao could not quite remember, or rather, he did not want to remember this. However, Fang ping added,"By the way, I have to pick a good time. It's best if it's on my 20th birthday. It'll be just in time for my birthday."
Yes, Fang ping was 20 years old.
Fang ping entered mcmau at the age of 18.
Now, it was not even the third year of University yet. It was still the holiday.
20 years old!
His birthday was in August ... Fang ping felt that it was about time for him to break through in August. It was time to have some fun.
Zhang Tao tilted his head and glanced at Fang ping. With a half-smile, he said, "You're lucky you're a martial arts university student!"
Otherwise, I'll slap you to death right now. This little bastard, who are you showing off to?
" 20 years old ..."
He muttered in his heart and old Zhang Ran away. He ran so fast that even the summit couldn't hold on.
[PS: a warm celebration for the birthday of little e and little fox. Congratulations to the two children for growing up and being able to fall in love. A boy and a girl. You both understand ... Happy Birthday!]
