Hearing Cang Ming say this, Xu Le's eyes narrowed slightly.
Before Zion
Isn't that the days of the lighthouse keepers
Xu Le thought that during that period, he just punched in for work as usual, then encountered political injustice, was forced to be hunted down, and finally escaped from the lighthouse and went to Zion.
Looking at those past events, I was definitely a small figure, there's really nothing worth bragging about.
Now Cangming said that he had paid attention to him before Zion. Isn’t this just awkward chat
"Mr. Cangming, please don't fool me. When I was at the lighthouse..."
“When you were in the Lighthouse, before you were promoted to a truly extraordinary person, you already dared to face the weirdness.
In the dark night, he looked at his teacher from afar, made a calm judgment, and decisively killed his mutated classmate with lightning speed.
At that time, you have already demonstrated qualities that transcend ordinary people.”
"I'm not that great, sir, you're overpraising me."
"No, no, no, you are more powerful than what I said. You are more powerful because when your basic skills are not strong enough, you know how to hold on to the legs and rely on the stronger ones.
Your decisive choice to join the Night Watch system in an unfamiliar environment is simply the finishing touch to your life development.
It is because you joined the Night Watch system that you received a systematic education in the extraordinary professional system.
These are excellent, even perfect, choices that lay the foundation for subsequent development.”
“But my experience at the Lighthouse was ultimately a failure.”
"No, that's not a failure. People will always encounter beings that they cannot defeat.
Xiong Zemo... For you at that time, it was like a chasm between gods and heaven, and it was simply beyond your ability.
But even in such a bad situation, you did not give up, and finally turned the tide, reversed the situation, and escaped from the hands of Xiong Zemo, who was several levels lower than you.
This experience is what makes it legendary.
In my opinion, your experience is no less than Chi Xiao's struggle to survive after losing a limb."
Xu Le wiped the sweat from his forehead. He came here to investigate things, and even had some bad intentions.
But the target in front of him boasted about himself in such an awkward way, which made him feel very embarrassed and particularly ashamed.
"How can I compare with Chi Xiao? The desperate situation that Chi Xiao experienced is not something I can possibly deal with."
"Each of them has their own strengths. The situation Chi Xiao encountered at that time was indeed a desperate one, but her strength was also stronger than yours at that time.
She has her decisiveness, and you have your predictions.
Although they are different, they are all potential for a great person, am I right?"
“Those were times when it was pretty clumsy.”
"Poor? I don't think so. There are so many students in Beacon University, and none of them behave like you.
Over the years, I have been paying attention to the young people in the four city-states, hoping that more young people with brilliant talents, potential and desire will emerge.
A lot of time has passed, and I have indeed discovered many outstanding talents and recruited them under my command.
But I left you alone..."
Xu Le's expression was a little strange. According to Cang Ming, he had already discovered him a long time ago.
Why not do it? Xu Le was a little curious.
"Uh, why?"
"Because I think you are very special, more special than most people, even more special than Chi Xiao, so I think you should develop freely.
And time has proved that my judgment was correct. You who are developing freely are stronger than those who are avoiding being under your wings. "
Staring at this old guy, Xu Le almost lost himself in his bragging for a moment.
Fortunately, Xu Le often praises others and is well aware of the harm of such praise.
By the time he realized something was wrong, he had already used his Soul-Eating Tree to absorb all of his mental energy.
Well, if your heart is as clear as ice, you won’t be afraid even if the sky falls.
"Lord Cangming really flattered me. If I were as powerful as you say, I wouldn't be displaced in this world and unable to return home."
"Haha, you can't go back? You just don't want to go back.
Now you have the ability to go back at any time, and you are someone who can confront Meris head-on.
If you are a person who has mastered the ability to escape at any time, the Red Moon Temple will not continue to embarrass you unless they are stupid.
Besides... isn't the reason you came here because of your excellence
The one chosen by Gu Yinduo and the one chosen by Hongyue."
"Gu Yin can't be considered selected in many aspects. As for Hong Yue, I was actually coerced to come here."
Xu Le’s explanation was meaningless to Cang Ming. The old man walking in front jumped onto a stone, stood on the stone and shook his hands.
The spiritual energy spread out, and the rubble wilderness in front of Xu Le actually retreated layer by layer.
It seems to be an illusory barrier.
As the barrier dissipated, a secret underground passage appeared in front of Cangming and Xu Le.
"Red Moon's coercion? Haha, don't you have any ideas of your own?"
Xu Le also narrowed his eyes slightly. In fact, he was also very curious about Cang Ming's plan. He had always been curious.
What is the so-called enslaving gods and seducing gods like
Moreover, what Cangming is going to do next is in line with his interests, which is to weaken both the Son of Gu Yinduo and Hong Yue.
This is the real reason why he came here.
As for Red Moon's coercion...
If he really doesn't want to do it, he can go to Night Fury or the Soul-Devouring Tree World. Even the Red Moon itself can't do anything to him.
"I am indeed very interested in Mr. Cangming's ideas. I came here because Chi Xiao invited me, so..."
“So, Xu Le, please lend me a hand.
I need you, I need your strength, and your young mind, your young thoughts and judgment.
The need for a successor is too far-fetched.
However, I believe that our cooperation will soon produce obvious results.
Just like... killing a Gu Yinduo."
At this moment, Cangming changed his attitude, from the playful attitude of an old man just now, to the domineering and unparalleled former hall master.
The cape fluttering behind him and the bald head didn't seem so funny in this domineering posture.
However, Xu Le did not join in on the action just because of his declarations.
He just stared at the underground passage in front of him and said solemnly:
"Let me see it first."
"See? What do you want to know?"
"I want to see what kind of plan Mr. Cangming, who is regarded as a taboo by the entire Red Moon Temple, has researched."
Xu Le's eyes were burning, completely different from his humble and yielding look just now.
Even when facing the domineering Cang Ming, he still showed no sign of cowardice.
It was just like how he behaved before in the Red Moon Holy Land when facing the God of Obscurity - Confusion.
“Hehehehe… Interesting, the only person who can completely ignore my aura at such a close distance is Chi Xiao.
And you are the second one."
"It's actually meaningless to only talk about momentum without talking about fighting." Xu Le said something ambiguous.
"That's true. It's meaningless to just talk about momentum."
"Then, can you take me, a junior with little experience, to see the world? Mr. Cangming."
At this time, Xu Le's momentum had also risen. Standing in front of Cang Ming, his speech and behavior did not show any signs of a junior.
Instead, it feels like a conversation between peers.
"Of course, come on."
Cangming waved his hand, and the stone door of the underground passage slowly opened. The old dwarf walked down first, and Xu Le followed behind him.
When he reached the stairs, the old dwarf suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Le, with the corners of his mouth cracked irregularly, like a bloody mouth.
Rows of sharp teeth appeared at the corners of the mouth.
Cangming's mouth seemed to have a zipper and opened towards his ears.
He smiled and said to Xu Le:
"Thief, thief, thief... Xu Le, the road has appeared. Whether you can get there depends on your own ability.
Although I personally have high hopes for you, there is nothing I can do. This is not something I can control alone.
There will always be people who doubt your abilities.
So the best option is to use your strength to slap them in the face...
This road is the proof of our strength.”
Cang Ming's distorted face began to shatter and dissipate as he spoke, and all that was left in front of Xu Le was this dark underground passage.
Xu Le stared at the dangerous-looking road and smiled:
"If it were in the past, I would definitely not have taken this dark and shady path.
But since it's a display of strength, I can give it a try...
If any unnecessary damage has been caused, please do not blame me, Mr. Cangming."
After Xu Le finished speaking, he stepped directly onto the first step of the underground passage.
The chaotic energy began to erupt immediately, and the originally dark passage began to become distorted like Cangming's deformed face before.
The stone steps actually melted at this moment.
The melted stone actually turned into arms and wrapped around Xu Le's legs.
These arms were even continuing to climb upwards, as if they wanted to pull me out.
Xu Le looked down at the ground. As the stone arm stretched, his face emerged from the ground.
There is no doubt that the face that emerged from the passage was extremely ugly.
The densely packed small mouth of round sharp teeth all over the head of this stone monster is enough to drive people with trypophobia to death.
And in the middle of these densely packed little mouths, there is a big eye crawling with green bugs.
The stench of decay filled Xu Le's nostrils, like stinky fermented beans that had been stuffed for more than a decade and then mixed with shit.
Even Xu Le couldn't help but sway a little at the intoxicating smell.
The environment has indeed become extremely bad, and most people would have probably fled by now.
Xu Le was not feeling well either, but his main attention was still on the stone monster under his feet.
"It's too late. If you pull it again, my pants will fall off."
Xu Le pulled up his trousers speechlessly, but the stone monster had no foresight and pulled his trousers hard.
My underwear is already showing, what's this
Xu Le thought that Chi Xiao was most likely aware of his coming here, and might even be watching him.
If Ding Ke was there, she might be watching too.
In this situation, if your pants were pulled off, it would be really embarrassing.
After pulling up his pants, Xu Le slapped the stone monster under him.
"Get lost."
When the palm of his hand slapped the stone monster, the monster's eyes revealed excitement and fanaticism.
The little creature with dense sharp teeth has pounced on it.
Judging from the stone monster's current fierce appearance, if Xu Le slapped it, at least four of its five fingers would be bitten off, and half of its entire palm would be bitten off.
It is hard to imagine a better outcome for a warlock's flesh and blood to come into contact with such a deformity.
However... Xu Le still slapped him as usual.
Bang!
The stone monster, which looked extremely scary, ugly, hard and terrible, exploded instantly at the entrance of the stairs, just like a bloody mosquito that was slapped.
The broken pieces of flesh were scattered all over the ground, the body was dead.
Xu Le certainly has many gentle means to kill this guy. It can even be said that most of his means are gentle.
But since he was here to show his strength, he had to be a little violent.
The visual impact of killing a monster with a single slap is absolutely powerful and very much in line with the aesthetics of violence.
Xu Le is very satisfied...
…
At the same time, Chi Xiao and Ding Ke, who were standing in Cangming's secret base, also watched this scene with satisfaction.
The two of them have strange expressions now...
It felt like... comfort.
"Ahem, when did this guy become so violent? I remember him being quite weak."
From Chi Xiao's perspective, Xu Le's previous performance could indeed be described as weak.
At that time, Xu Le basically stood in the back, and even if there was a battle, he rarely fought head-on.
He is playing some tricks and schemes, and he is just short of having the words "I am weak" written on his face.
"In fact, he has always been very violent, but he was too weak before and rarely showed it." Ding Ke explained.
As if he felt that his explanation was not detailed enough, he added:
"For example, when he has absolute power, he usually suppresses others with absolute violence, without any mercy."
"When it comes to absolute strength, what does it usually mean?"
"For example, when he was crushing ants, he was particularly cruel."
Chi Xiao showed an “Oh!~” expression.
Then he affirmed Xu Le's behavior:
"Indeed, when I was a kid, I was also very cruel when I crushed ants. I even used things like boiling water bombers."
Ding Ke: …
"Okay, let's continue watching."
"Are you worried?"
"Yeah, I'm still a little worried."
“Don’t worry, given his personality, if he dares to do things so ostentatiously, he must be fully confident.
It shouldn’t take too long to get here, just wait.”
…
After Xu Le slapped the stone monster into pieces, the entire passage became quiet for a moment.
But soon, new monsters began to appear.
This situation was completely within Xu Le's expectations, so he just waved his hand again.
"Darkness retreat!"
Black wind burst out, like an invasion of death and demons, and instantly swept through the underground corridor.
Standing at the top of the aisle, looking down, he said with a smile:
"Mr. Cangming, I'm coming in!"
