Deicide Learning In A Psychiatric Hospital

Chapter 2025: Extra Chapter Zhou Ping (VII) Sword of Time

Views:

[2016]

In the dark night, Zhou Ping carried his backpack and left the convenience store as usual, heading towards home.

As he walked, his naturally hanging fingertips lightly stroked the void, as if he was deliberately imitating something. Wisps of sword energy swirled in the void and disappeared. He seemed to be thinking about something.

It has been a while since Wang Shang left. These days, Zhou Ping has been studying the notes left by Wang Shang day and night, constantly training his strength. He doesn't know how much he has grown in the past few days, but his perception of the world seems to be different...

"If only someone would let me try out the sword..." Zhou Ping sighed.

He was walking along the deserted streets, when suddenly he seemed to notice something and stopped with a slight exclamation.

He turned his head and looked towards the hazy night not far away. Faintly, he seemed to hear some kind of low roar...

Zhou Ping was stunned, and then his eyes gradually lit up!

"Oh no! It's escaping towards the city!!"

"Stop it! If we let this thing get into the city, we'll be finished!"

"Damn it, how could a 'sea' realm 'mystery' appear in a place like Xijin City?? Has the headquarters responded? When will the reinforcements arrive?"

"No response yet!"

"We can't delay any longer... We must stop it at all costs!!"

In the suburbs of Xijin City, several figures wearing dark red cloaks quickly passed through the sky. With the help of the dim moonlight, one could see a giant python nearly 100 meters long rapidly shuttling across the barren land, heading straight towards the city.

Seeing this, several night watchmen turned pale. They looked at each other and took out several shining emblems from their pockets...

Just as they were about to use the "Ghost Attraction", a cry of surprise rang out:

“There’s someone there!!”

Everyone turned their heads to look at the same time, and saw a figure appearing in front of the giant python. He stared at the giant python for a long while, then reached out and began to take something out of his backpack...

"careful!"

Ding!!

The clear sound of a sword resounded through the night sky.

The invisible sword energy rushed up into the sky and swept across the giant python's body in an instant. The latter's huge body suddenly stagnated, and then a scarlet blood line slowly emerged from the center of the body...

Scarlet blood spurted out, and the huge python was broken into two pieces in full view of everyone, and fell to the ground with a loud bang, and the surging "sea" realm aura also came to an abrupt end.

The night watchman who was ready to fight to the death saw this and opened his eyes wide in shock, as if he had seen a ghost!

This is the "mystery" of the "sea" realm! !

The entire Xijin City team, except for the captain who reached the "Chuan" realm, the rest of the members were only in the "Pool" realm. A "Sea" realm giant python was enough to wipe them all out, but such a nightmare-like existence was actually killed in an instant?

Everyone was stunned for a long time before they looked in the direction where the sword energy was coming from... At the end of the sword energy, a young man was holding a slender green onion in his hand, with a look of confusion on his face.

ah

That's it

Zhou Ping was very depressed.

I came all the way here just to try out my sword on this giant python, but just when I wanted to casually draw my sword to test the python's strength, it was chopped off... This has no reference value at all!

Of course, he also noticed the figures in dark red cloaks in the distance. Before Wang Shang left, he said that they were his companions and he could protect them with swords.

Thinking of this, Zhou Ping plucked up his courage and reluctantly waved towards the distance... as a greeting.

The night watchmen woke up as if from a dream. One of them immediately flew to Zhou Ping and spoke respectfully:

"I am Li Biao, the captain of the Night Watch Squad stationed in Xijin City. May I ask which human ceiling you are?"

Are you kidding? Who else can kill the "Sea" Realm "Mystery" so easily in one second, except for the top level of human beings?

"The human ceiling?" Zhou Ping shook his head blankly, "I don't know..."

"Aren't you?" Li Biao asked in surprise.

"No... Do you know Wang Shang? I'm his student."

"Wang Shang?" Hearing this name, Li Biao was stunned. After thinking carefully for a moment, he spoke blankly, "Is it Wang Shang, the ceiling of mankind back then... Didn't he die in the God War four years ago?"

Zhou Ping's body shook violently, and he turned to look at Li Biao, "What did you say? What God War?"

"It was the God War in the East China Sea. Several of the top humans died in that battle. If it weren't for the previous commander Wang Qing who sacrificed his life to forcibly seal Gaia, Daxia would probably have been destroyed by now... Didn't Senior Wang Shang also die in that battle?"

Zhou Ping's brain went blank instantly, as if he was struck by lightning!

[2012]

Chronos slowly lowered his hand.

In his eyes, two long rivers of time that connected end to end were like rings, slowly spinning, and a mysterious and powerful aura emanated from them.

The [Eye of Time] was completely absorbed into his body and combined with his own divine ruins. It was as if some extremely subtle reaction had occurred, and the two were merging bit by bit... At the same time, fragments of broken future scenes crazily flooded into his mind.

At this moment, Chronos was like a sculpture standing on the black-sailed boat. It was unknown what he saw, and his expression kept changing.

After a long time, those eyes finally regained their calm... He let out a long sigh and looked at Wang Shang with a complicated look.

“Chronos!” Wang Shang groped in the dark, grabbed Chronos by the collar, and roared, “What did you do?!”

"You tried to commit suicide first to force me to take action... Since you don't abide by the deal, there is no need for me to wait until the end of the war." Chronos said calmly.

Wang Shang was stunned. His eyes were dull and he was silent for a moment, his expression full of bitterness and helplessness.

"However, thanks to your eyes... I saw something." Chronos paused for a moment, "In the long run, Daxia should not be destroyed at this moment."

"Have you changed your mind?" After hearing the second half of the sentence, Wang Shang regained his spirits.

"Daxia cannot be destroyed, and I must abide by the agreement we made that year and not take action against Olympus." Chronos turned his head and looked at Gaia, the mother goddess of the earth who was frozen in the waves, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"But if you don't take action, who will stop them?"

"Humanity."

Wang Shang shook his head. "All the top powers of humanity have already been dispatched. How can anyone else take action?"

"There is another one." Chronos' pupils became visibly deeper, and the long river of time that connected head to tail actually began to flow backwards. "There is still the breath of a human in your eyes..."

Hearing this, Wang Shang was stunned.

"… Zhou Ping?"

He rejected it immediately, "It's impossible. At this time, he is just a child, unless..."

There was also the second half of the sentence that Wang Shang didn’t say: Unless it’s the one I’ve seen.

Wang Shang's gaze had once crossed the four-year long river of time and had a close connection with Zhou Ping in the future, but that was only the future after all... He couldn't possibly expect Zhou Ping to cross four years in reverse and come to his own time to save humanity, right? Zhou Ping couldn't cross the long river of time!

Besides, when he left, Zhou Ping was only at the half-step ceiling level of humanity, so even if he came, he might not be able to stop Loki.

Time flows behind Chronos like a river, faster and faster. They collapse little by little in the void, drawn into the void... like a time hole with phantom light surging.

Chronos stood in front of the dazzling hole, his deep eyes seemed to be able to swallow everything.

"To the mob, the order of time means nothing."

The moment the words fell, the frozen time began to flow again!

[2016]

"teacher… "

On the deserted street, Zhou Ping was carrying his bag in a daze, moving his body like a zombie.

When Wang Shang left, Zhou Ping did not feel too disappointed... because he knew that Wang Shang's time was four years ago, and four years is not a long time. For many people, this may just be a college or a job.

Maybe when he walked out the next day, he would see Wang Shang standing at his door with a smile four years later, and then say the words he had prepared for a long time, "Teacher, long time no see."

But Zhou Ping didn't wait.

He felt that he could wait a little longer... maybe the teacher was still on his way to find him. So he meticulously completed the tasks left by Wang Shang, practiced diligently every day, waiting for the day when he would meet the teacher again and receive the other party's shocking praise:

"Ah? How did you get to this point?"

Zhou Ping really didn’t know how talented he was, nor did he care, but when the teacher looked at him as if he were a monster, with shock and emotion written all over his face, he was really happy in his heart… It was like the feeling of being the best-performing child in school and being praised repeatedly by the teacher.

But now, his fantasy is shattered.

“Teacher…” Zhou Ping placed his palm gently on his chest, only to feel a pain there he had never felt before.

At this moment, a brilliant light suddenly emerged from the void in front of his eyes, flashing dazzlingly like a neon light in the night. A time hole was opened, and divine power like a mountain mixed with the ancient laws of time, pressing Zhou Ping to the point that he could hardly breathe!

His pupils contracted slightly, and all the muscles in his body tensed up instantly!

He stared intently into the depths of the cavity, and vaguely could see a turbulent sea at the other end of the cavity. A terrifying divine light was surging on the sea, like a natural disaster that was about to destroy the world.

What's this

Zhou Ping couldn't understand what was happening in front of him, but he caught a glimpse of a corner of the screen out of the corner of his eye. When he saw the familiar figure, an incredible light burst out in his eyes!

"Teacher?! Teacher!!!" He stood in front of the passage where light was flowing and shouted towards the past.

As if he heard Zhou Ping's voice, Wang Shang's body trembled slightly. He turned back suddenly and looked into the void of time, but his unfocused pupils could no longer see the figure standing in the future.

"Zhou Ping...?" Wang Shang's face was full of disbelief. He said to Chronos, "You really opened up the river of time?"

Kronos' hair was stained with the gray of time, and he said calmly, "It is not difficult for me to build a bridge across the long river of time... but the consequences of it will be imposed on me.

The bridge was too narrow for his body to make it across... but his sword could."

Chronos is the creator god of Olympus and the world's unique supreme god of time. For him, it may be entirely possible to directly drag Zhou Ping into this space and time, but this will also bring him corresponding backlash.

It was rare that he was willing to help Daxia, and this narrow bridge of time and space was the biggest concession he had made.

Chronos' voice echoed in the past and the future, and also fell clearly into Zhou Ping's ears. Zhou Ping didn't know who the old man in black was, but he could clearly sense the other party's oppression... That was perhaps a height that he could never reach.

"You have a chance to use three swords." Chronos glanced at Zhou Ping, "The key to ending this war between gods is already in your hands."

Zhou Ping was stunned for a moment. He looked at the flickering scene of the battle between gods at the other end of the hole, and sweat oozed from his palms.

Zhou Ping didn't know what happened exactly, but he could roughly guess that this void was his past teacher asking for help... That was enough.

How strong are the enemies the teacher is facing

Zhou Ping stood in the future, and his perception was not clear... But it didn't matter, no matter what the enemy was like, he had to go all out!

"Sword... I need a sword!"

Zhou Ping's face was full of anxiety. He quickly scanned the surroundings and locked onto a store on the street that had long been closed and lights out. He rushed forward desperately and smashed the locked glass door with one punch!

This was the first time in Zhou Ping's life that he had committed a burglary. Before this, he had never even taken a napkin from his classmate's desk. He could only feel his heart pounding, but now was not the time to feel guilty.

He rushed into the tea shop like lightning, grabbed the sword that suppressed the Feng Shui on the entrance, and pulled it out with force!

This is an unsharpened sword, seemingly made of alloy, a pure decorative item, but at least... it is a real sword!

Zhou Ping held the sword and stepped over the broken glass on the ground. He looked resolutely at the time hole where the light was surging. He took a deep breath, and the extremely sharp sword energy surged out of his body, making the corners of his black shirt rustle!

"Here I come... Teacher." He muttered to himself.

The roaring waves rushed in all directions, and the golden giant shadow that covered the sky and the sun swung out a second punch, which smashed heavily with Loki's palm. The blazing light was like the burning sun!

Boom! !

There was a loud bang, and spider-web-like cracks spread on the golden giant's arms. Loki forced the behemoth back several steps. The Buddha's light was shaking, and there were signs of it breaking.

"The power is good, but unfortunately the physical strength is too low." Loki shrugged with some regret.

He was just about to strike again to completely smash this overconfident giant, but at this moment, a clear sound of sword rang through the sky!

Ding!!

A streak of snow-white sword light was like a crescent moon piercing through the sky, instantly cutting through the clouds and heading straight towards Loki who was standing in the void!

Loki was stunned. Just as a hint of surprise appeared in his eyes, his body was swallowed up by the sword light!

Endless sword energy was like a wave washing over the sky. Ye Fan, who had transformed into a golden giant, barely managed to steady his body. He was stunned when he saw this scene in the sky... The sword that just flashed by definitely had combat power at the ceiling level of humans, but now the other ceilings should be intercepting other main gods and sub-gods. Where would anyone come to support him

What's more, I've never heard of anyone using a sword.

At this moment, Ye Fan's mind unconsciously flashed a figure of a young man... but he quickly rejected it. The child did not have this level of power at all.

A terrifying divine power burst out from the sea, tearing the remaining sword energy into pieces. Loki, dressed in black, slowly walked over from the horizon. There were several holes on the corners of his clothes, and his face turned a little blue.

He looked around, trying to find the attacker hiding outside the battlefield... Unfortunately, he failed.

He couldn't find Zhou Ping at all.

"Haha... plotting against me?" The indifference on Loki's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a chill, "I want to see how long you can hide your head and show your tail?"

At this moment, at the other end of the time hole.

Zhou Ping was sweating profusely, holding a long sword in his hand, his face a little pale.

The long sword in his hand was already covered with cracks, and his aura was a little disordered... He had already used all his strength in that sword strike just now, but the black-clothed figure only had his clothes scratched, which was not even a minor injury.

What kind of monster is that

Even though Zhou Ping has basically reached the ceiling of human beings, the time is still short. Facing a top-level powerhouse among the gods like Loki, his strength is still not enough.

Zhou Ping stared at the man, his veined hand raised the sword again, his face full of determination.

Since my ultimate attack cannot cause any harm to him... then I will break through my limit!

He took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and the contents of Wang Shang's notes naturally emerged in his mind.

"Your strength does not come from your sword skills or sword energy, but from your heart..."

“Feel your own heartbeat, feel your own emotions. Your strength does not come from fictional stories. Ultimately, it all comes from your innocent heart…”

"As long as you want, you can use power beyond imagination, whether you have seen it or not..."

Zhou Ping's chest rose and fell slightly, and his breathing became rhythmic. Sword energy rolled and poured into the sword in his hand. Invisible air waves spread out with him as the center. The street lights on the deserted street suddenly flickered, and then fell into darkness at the same time.

In the darkness, Zhou Ping's bright eyes opened again!

Ding!!!

The second sword sound resounded through the sky!

Loki's body tensed up instantly, and he subconsciously began to look for Zhou Ping's position. He looked up at the sky, only to find that what was falling this time was not a sword energy... but thousands of sword energies that were like shattered meteors!

The long sword could no longer withstand Zhou Ping's sword energy and exploded with a loud bang. The fragments, carrying the cold sword energy, cut through the sky, like a sword energy rainstorm targeting Loki, drowning him!

boom-

A deafening explosion echoed across the sea, and Loki's figure was submerged once again.

He struck again!

Seeing this, Ye Fan hesitated for a moment, then turned around and rushed towards Gaia... He didn't know who drew the sword, but he was sure that the other party had the ability to delay Loki, and they must seize this precious opportunity to seal Gaia!

At the same time, Wang Qing, who had once again activated the [Thunder Hidden Technique], had already reached a fierce stage in the fight with Gaia.

Even Ye Fan couldn't see the two people's movements clearly. He only heard loud explosions echoing from different corners of the Thunder Forest. The long whip surrounded by lightning forced Gaia back hundreds of meters. Wang Qing's arm holding the treasure pestle was almost completely sucked dry, and the lightning that filled the sky and the earth doubled again!

"Damn it, I don't believe I can't defeat you!" Wang Qing stared at Gaia who was trapped in the lightning, and her whole body looked extremely haggard.

The Lei Zang Bao Chu is a disposable item, and when used it will greatly drain the user's strength and life. But at this point, Wang Qing no longer plans to live. Even if she has to risk everything, she is determined to seal Gaia here.

Thousands of thunders filled the sky, and Gaia seemed to feel Wang Qing's determination to fight to the death. After a roar, a thick dark yellow divine light burst out from his body, and like a meteorite, he knocked away several lightning bolts and rushed towards Wang Qing!

Under Gaia's desperate counterattack, a gap was forcibly opened in the Forest of Lightning. Just as the fist that tore through the void was about to hit Wang Qing, a golden giant with cracks all over his body fell from the sky!

Boom! !

The divine light shook, and the golden Buddha light shattered in an instant!

Under Wang Qing's astonished gaze, the towering golden giant instantly collapsed, and Ye Fan's body was shattered into a large blood mist, falling into the sea like mud!

“Ye Fan!!” Wang Qing’s pupils suddenly shrank, and she spat out a mouthful of blood, her face as pale as paper.

Her eyes were filled with anger like a volcano about to erupt. She stared at Gaia's figure who was blocked in the range of the Thunder Hidden Technique. She raised the treasure pestle without hesitation and stabbed it into his chest with force!

The scarlet blood soaked the cloak, and the treasure pestle madly devoured Wang Qing's life. In an instant, the number of Thunder Forests doubled again. The thunder that almost gathered into liquid was like a column of water pouring down from the sky, submerging Gaia's figure!

“Oh no…” Amidst the aftermath of the sword energy, a black shadow rushed out in a panic. Seeing this scene, Loki’s face looked extremely ugly.

He immediately raised his palm, and mysterious black lines intertwined in the void. Just when they were about to take shape, another sword sound resounded through the world!

Ding!!!

“Is this the end??!”

As Loki cursed, a sword energy even more powerful than the previous two times flashed in front of him!

If Loki could see through time and space at this moment, he would be able to see Zhou Ping behind the time hole, holding a sword finger in one hand, standing calmly under the dark night sky with his eyes closed, like an old monk in meditation.

His sword had already broken when he struck the second time, so he struck the third time with his bare hands...

But even so, this sword is even stronger than the previous two swords combined!

He seemed to have complete control over his powers.

After he swung the sword, several seconds passed before Zhou Ping opened his eyes as if waking from a dream.

Through the time hole, he saw Loki being knocked down to the sea by his third sword, and saw thousands of thunderbolts interweaving into symbols, completely enveloping Gaia's body. But before that, Gaia seemed to know that she was doomed, and took out something from her arms and quickly wrote a name on it...

Then, the brilliant time void began to shake violently, collapsed and disintegrated at a speed visible to the naked eye, and disappeared into nothingness in a moment.

Under the night sky, everything is silent.

Zhou Ping stood there with sweat all over his forehead. He felt weaker than ever before. But at this moment he had no time to rest. He turned around and ran in a certain direction!

A few minutes later, the Xijin City Night Watch Squad, which had already walked far away, heard the call from behind and stopped at the same time.

"Wait!" Zhou Ping ran over breathlessly and grabbed the captain's shoulders, scaring everyone.

"What's wrong?" The captain asked in confusion. "I have already reported what happened tonight to my superiors... In the next two days, the higher-ups will come to look for you. Your address has been registered, so you can go back and rest."

"Tell me again what happened four years ago!" Zhou Ping raised his head, his eyes full of seriousness.

"Didn't I just tell you once..."

"Say it again!" Zhou Ping paused for a moment, "Thank you!"

"..." The members of the Xijin team looked at each other, and the captain said helplessly, "In the battle of gods four years ago, Commander Wang sealed the Earth Goddess Gaia at the risk of his life. Loki disappeared, and the other Olympian gods retreated one after another. Commander Ye was also severely injured and it took him two years to recover..."

"Where's Wang Shang!?"

"He died in battle." The captain said as a matter of course.

Zhou Ping's body trembled slightly, and after a long silence, bitterness still emerged in his eyes...

"That's not right, Captain." At this moment, another member of the Xijin City team spoke up, "Didn't Wang Shang die of illness last year? I remember that Commander Ye even held a funeral for him to commemorate him..."

"ah?"

"I also remembered that he didn't seem to be on the list of victims of the war of gods... He survived."

"What disease did he have?"

"I haven't heard the details, but it seems to be related to a shortened lifespan... Anyway, it seems that he died of illness while he was at home, and he didn't suffer much, so it can be considered a good death."

Zhou Ping stood there in a daze.

"Which one is Wang Mian?"

Amid the sound of reading, a teacher hurried to the classroom door and asked loudly.

As soon as the words fell, all the students turned to look at the back of the classroom. A handsome boy stood up and walked towards the corridor with a puzzled look.

The teacher pulled him aside, hesitated for a moment, and then said:

"You received a call from home saying that your father was seriously injured and hospitalized. The situation...is not optimistic. They asked you to go over now."

Hearing this, the boy's body shook violently. After staying in place for a while, he ran out of the campus!

The rain hit the boy's body, soaking his clothes and also moistening his eyes.

He rushed all the way to the school gate, stretched out his hand to stop a taxi, and said something to the driver with trembling lips. The latter's eyes fixed, and then the car rushed into the heavy rain with a roar.

The earth rumbled and sharp brake sounds were heard at the intersection.

The steel body of the car rolled over and over on the wet ground, the structure completely deformed, and scarlet blood flowed out from under the car, gradually staining the ground...

Inside the squeezed car body, Wang Mian was already a bloody mess. His hazy consciousness looked through the broken glass at the gray world. The scene before his eyes gradually faded into darkness as his vitality faded away.

With two vital parts pierced by the steel frame, he was doomed to die.

The heavy rain suddenly stopped in the air.

next moment,

In Wang Mian’s blurred vision, a figure in black holding an umbrella walked calmly past the wreckage of the truck and the flickering flames, and stopped in front of him.

He was an old man, with a pair of circles in his eyes that connected each other, flowing slowly, ancient and mysterious.

"One life for another."

The murmur was shattered into nothingness by the rain. The old man raised his hand and gently grasped Wang Mian's twisted and deformed hand.

"From now on, you will be my only agent in the world."

"Hello... Wang Mian."

"The three artifacts are all in place, so the boy should be alive, right?"

A pixel-style off-road vehicle roared over the sand dunes and sped through the dust.

The silver-haired girl was wearing a windbreaker she had picked up from somewhere. She had one hand on the steering wheel and was looking leisurely towards the sky in a certain direction.

"By the way, what's his name..."

"Lin... Lin... Lin Qiye? I think that's his name."

"The name isn't very good, but he looks pretty. He'll probably be a handsome guy when he grows up, right?"

"I leave the hospital to you. Remember to grow up a little bit and don't die... I'm counting on you to take me home."

The silver-haired girl shrugged, pulled the hood of her ragged windbreaker over her head, stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the off-road vehicle accelerated again, driving towards the horizon like a roaring lion...

Third uncle's local food restaurant.

The stairs creaked, and my third uncle yawned as he lazily walked down the stairs, ready to start today's business.

As soon as he walked to the first floor, he was slightly stunned. He saw that the door of the store had been opened at some point. A figure in an apron was sitting on the steps in front of the door, washing vegetables carefully. The sunlight shone on his body, bright and clean.

"Morning, Third Uncle."

"You kid... why did you get up so early today?" Uncle San rubbed his eyes, "Don't you usually stay in bed until the afternoon?"

"From today on, I don't have to stay in bed anymore." Zhou Ping turned around and smiled shyly.

The third uncle raised his eyebrows and was about to ask something else when his eyes fell on the table beside him...

An exquisitely packaged gift box was lying there quietly.

"besides… "

Zhou Ping, who was picking vegetables, lowered his head slightly. After a long time, he mustered up the courage and whispered,

"Happy birthday, Third Uncle..."

My third uncle was stunned.

After a while, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and he chuckled, "Boy, I forgot it myself, but you still remember it."

He opened the gift box on the table, and inside was a pair of brand new leather shoes, exquisitely made and looking like a branded product.

Uncle San frowned slightly. He rummaged through the box for a while but didn't find the price tag. It seemed that someone had cut it off in advance.

"Isn't this expensive? Go and return it. I can't wear such nice shoes..."

"It's not expensive, just over a hundred yuan." Zhou Ping avoided his uncle's gaze and said with his head down, "And I've already removed the label, so I can't return it even if I want to."

After the break-in last night, even lying seems to be going much more smoothly... At least I don't blush anymore.

"You... ah..."

The third uncle wanted to say something to him, but after struggling for a long time, he couldn't say anything. He could only pack up the shoes and put them away like treasures, muttering, "You still want to deceive the third uncle, how can these shoes only cost more than a hundred yuan? At least three hundred yuan! Don't buy such expensive gifts in the future... Do you hear me!"

"Yeah." Zhou Ping's cheeks turned a little red.

The third uncle took his shoes upstairs, and Zhou Ping was the only one left on the first floor. He looked at the stairs with a guilty conscience, and after confirming that the third uncle had left, he breathed a long sigh of relief...

If my third uncle knew the real price of these shoes, he would definitely give me a beating, he thought.

However, I am already very successful now, and I shouldn’t be short of money in the future... It is only right for me to buy a better gift for my third uncle, as he is the only... no, one of the only two... one of the only three people in the world who treats me the best.

A third uncle, a teacher... If you count it this way, that guy should also have a place.

Zhou Ping's mind unconsciously emerged the young figure who had saved him from purgatory on the wild hill in the suburbs... He was also wearing a dark red cloak and holding a straight knife. Unfortunately, his eyes were injured at that time and he could not see his appearance clearly.

That was the first time Zhou Ping met the hero, and it was because of that encounter that his life changed.

Just as Zhou Ping was daydreaming, a figure walked up the stairs and sat next to him.

The man's footsteps were very light, and Zhou Ping was so immersed in his thoughts that he didn't even notice his arrival.

"Your name is Zhou Ping?"

A gentle voice sounded, startling Zhou Ping.

He suddenly raised his head and saw a young man in a dark red cloak sitting quietly beside him. The man looked at him carefully, and there seemed to be a hint of smile in his eyes.

"Yeah." Zhou Ping nodded.

"My name is Ye Fan."

"… oh."

Zhou Ping had never heard of this name, but he was also wearing a cloak... The night watchman said last night that a senior executive would come to see him today. Could it be this man

"Do you want to be the ceiling of humanity?" the man spoke slowly.

“What is the human ceiling?”

"That is, when the sky collapses, the person who can carry the sky on his back."

"I do not understand."

"He is the strongest person in the world who protects this country and its people." The man gave a simple and understandable explanation.

Zhou Ping thought for a moment, "Similar to a hero?"

The man was stunned, as if he remembered something, his expression was a little complicated, "Yes, similar to the hero."

"Being a hero sounds good... But I don't like the name 'Human Ceiling'. It's not domineering enough."

"What do you want to be called?"

Zhou Ping lowered his head, shook the water off his hands, and looked at the wooden sword on the steps that he usually used for training.

"Sword Saint." He paused for a moment, "If you want me to be the Sword Saint of Da Xia, I will agree to it."

The man looked into his eyes for a long time, and after that, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

"… good."

The extra story "Zhou Ping Chapter" has been concluded.

Only one chapter left! Looking forward to the new book!!
