Killing God - Chapter 74
Chapter 74 Flatter
In the past three years, Ganze’s name was undoubtedly the most thunderous word on Bluefish Island. It was an incomparably prominent family background. The talent of an expert was known as the fastest advancing genius youth on Bluefish Island since the island was founded. All the praise seemed to be shrouded in this youth’s body, causing one to involuntarily look up.
Everyone was convinced that after years of silence, with the appearance of this youth, the ancient Gan Clan would usher in a new era of prosperity.
As long as Ganze was present, no matter how low-key he was, he would always be the focus of the crowd. Everyone seemed to unconsciously surround him, as if the stars were arching the moon. In the crowd, Shen Shi looked from afar and saw that Gan Ze was surrounded by a group of Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, but there was no sign of stage fright at all. At the same time, his expression was elegant and he seemed to be very familiar with the people around him. From time to time, he even said a few interesting words, causing several Senior Sisters, especially the beautiful Chen Tang, to cover their mouths and giggle incessantly.
Compared to him, Shen Shi was like a forgotten nobody. Of course, this was indeed the case. Therefore, Shen Shi wasn’t in a strange mood. After the initial shock, he silently retreated to the side and looked at the person of his age who seemed to have a halo in the crowd from afar with curiosity.
At a certain moment after that, Gan Ze suddenly noticed that outside the crowd, there was actually a Shen Shi who was about the same size as him. The people who came to the pier in the early morning all had one purpose.
It could be seen that Gan Ze’s face also revealed a bit of surprise, but he did not reveal anything special about it. He only nodded at Shen Shi after seeing him from afar, revealing a hint of a smile, as if he had greeted him.
Shen Shi did not expect that Gan Ze would actually notice him. He hurriedly nodded his head in response. Before this, he had only seen Gan Ze a few times from afar. He had not interacted with him at all, so he could not say that he had any friendship with this proud son of heaven. However, Gan Ze was indeed worthy of being a disciple of the Gan Clan. He was well-rounded, and it seemed that he would not leave any mistakes behind.
After a while, The three of them got off the ship, They were all direct disciples of the Ling Xiao Sect at the Origin Condensation Realm, Lin Hu, who was a little short, was walking at the front. However, unlike his usual arrogant appearance, Lin Hu looked like he was bathed in the spring breeze. He was gentle and amiable. After getting off the boat, he threw off his two junior brothers and ran into the crowd of Qi Refining disciples. After casually greeting the surrounding disciples, he turned to look at Gan Ze with a smile on his face and said,
“A rare guest, a rare guest. Why is Junior Brother Gan here today?”
Gan Ze smiled and cupped his fists to salute him, saying, “Hello, Senior Brother Lin. Of course, I’m here to prepare to go to Demon Island.”
Lin Hu exclaimed, “You are only fifteen years old this year. To be able to go to Demon Island at such a young age is truly a genius of the heavens. It is rare, rare, too rare.”
The smile on Gan Ze’s face froze for a moment. Everyone around him also had strange expressions. Several people immediately turned to look at another place. There was also a rookie disciple standing over there, and his cultivation was even lower than Gan Ze’s. If he was a genius from the Heavens, then what was that person …
Gan Ze smiled bitterly and said, “Senior Brother Lin is flattering me. I’m just here to see for myself. At the same time, I have to rely on senior brothers and sisters to take care of me.” As he spoke, he smiled and cupped his hands to the surrounding crowd. Everyone immediately greeted him enthusiastically. All of them slapped their chests loudly, their heroic words surging like a tide. Junior apprentice-brothers of the prefecture, don’t worry. With me here, you will definitely be safe and sound.
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from the crowd. It was Lin Hu’s heroic voice. He waved his hand and said, “Junior brothers, you must be busy with the demon hunting mission. There is no need to delay your business. Protect and take care of Junior brother Gan. As the senior brother on duty on Demon Island, I have an unshirkable responsibility.” Junior Brother, don’t worry. When you arrive at Demon Island later, I will personally show you the situation on the island and experience the many demonic beasts and ghosts on the island. This will broaden your horizons. You will often think of coming back in the future. ”
Everyone looked sideways for a moment, including the two Elemental Condensation Realm senior brothers Niu Xiong and Zeng Zhibai, who also had expressions of disdain that they could not look directly at. However, at this moment, Lin Hu was completely focused on Gan Ze, completely ignoring the gazes of the surrounding people.
Facing such enthusiastic Senior Brother Lin Hu, even Gan Ze couldn’t bear it. He laughed a few times and was obviously a little perfunctory. As for Lin Hu, he didn’t seem to notice at all. He had been standing beside Gan Ze with a smile on his face, as if he was proud of himself.
After a while, the hour had arrived. Everyone boarded the ship. The three Origin Condensation Realm disciples had all gone to grasp the course. There were only a few Qi Condensation Realm disciples left on the deck. Shen Shi also found a secluded corner and looked at the crowd in the distance. After Lin Hu boarded the ship, he had no choice but to leave. Gan Ze finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Shi shook his head. He felt that it was funny in his heart. He thought that these noble young masters also seemed to have their own troubles. He was too lazy to bother with them. He looked into the distance outside the ship’s side. He saw the large ship chop through the waves and sail forward. Qingyu Island gradually became smaller and farther away, and the clear blue sea gradually spread out in front of him.
The sea and sky were the same color, vast and boundless. Amidst the clear cries of seabirds, the sea breeze whisked across one’s face, causing one’s heart to widen.
He stretched out his hand and gently pressed down on his chest. There was a jade bottle hidden under his clothes. There were two Qi Nourishing Pills inside. He still hadn’t seen the demon island, but looking in the direction ahead, a strong sense of expectation surged in Shen Shi’s heart.
I wonder how much you’ve gained today?
“Senior Brother, excuse me.”
Suddenly, a gentle and courteous voice sounded from behind Shen Shi, pulling him back from his contemplation. When he turned around, Shen Shi was stunned. He saw Gan Ze standing behind him with a smile on his face.
Shen Shi hurriedly turned around and said, “I don’t dare to call you Senior Brother. Is something the matter?”
Gan Ze smiled. “Actually, it’s not a big deal, I was surprised to see that there are newbies of the same generation besides me on this ship. Normally, this little brother has little experience, but he doesn’t know that there are brothers like him. He can go to the Demon Island to hunt demons at the Medial Realm of Qi Refinement. He is truly astonishing. I’m like a frog in a well. Sigh … little brother Gan Ze, may I know senior brother’s name? ”
Shen Shi shook his head and said, “Brother Gan, my surname is Shen, and my name is Shi. Actually, I can’t be boastful like Brother Gan. To tell you the truth, this is the first time I’ve been to Demon Island a few days ago. Actually, this is only the second time I’ve prepared to go to Demon Island. Furthermore, I don’t dare to go deep into the island. I’ll just wander around the outskirts and find some weak demon beasts to attack.”
“Oh!” Gan Ze looked at Shen Shi again. He pondered for a moment and said, “If a high-level Qi Refining Realm disciple were to go to the Demon Island, because the Spiritual Energy had been tempered for a long time, his physical body would basically be sufficient to resist low-level demonic beasts. But I think Brother Shen, you seem to be still at the middle Qi Refining Realm. Could this be … learning the Five Elements Technique?”
Shen Shi did not expect Gan Ze to be so quick-witted, but thinking about it, there was nothing to hide. He nodded and smiled, “Brother Gan, when I saw it clearly, I did learn a water archery technique, and then I went to Monster Island to try my luck.”
Gan Ze smiled and sighed, “I didn’t expect Brother Shen to have some talent for the Five Elements Technique. It’s rare. I’ve actually been taught this since I was young, but it’s too difficult. I haven’t achieved much after learning it for a long time. My aptitude is stupid, Brother Shen is very talented.”
Shen Shi rolled his eyes in his heart. He thought to himself, “You have cultivated to a high-level Qi Refining Realm in the past three years. How dare you say that your aptitude is stupid here? Aren’t the hundreds of people in Qingyu Island all idiots?” However, he still said a few humble words. Actually, he was somewhat guilty. If he followed a normal person’s cultivation method in the Five Elements Technique, his talent would also be average. It was only because he had a Heart Cleansing Curse that he condensed a Spiritual Energy between his eyebrows that he was able to display a bit of prominence in the Water Arrow Technique.
Gan Ze seemed to have seen Shen Shi ascend the demon island at the middle stage of the Qi Refining Realm. He seemed a little curious, so he came over to chat and get to know each other. After a few words, Gan Ze said goodbye politely and returned to the crowd. Shen Shi looked at his back and felt that this person had extraordinary elegance and knowledge. Adding on his noble and talented background, it was no wonder that he was the focus of everyone. It was as if he was born with a layer of halo. He was truly incomparable.
However, it couldn’t be compared. Shen Shi didn’t have much hesitation. He turned his gaze back and quietly turned his mind to the upcoming Demon Island.
④
Along the way, the ship smoothly arrived at the fifth of the six Bluefish Islands, which was also commonly known as the Demon Island.
When the ship stopped at the edge of the long seawall, the Qi Refining Realm disciples on board were obviously much more solemn. Only Chen Tang and the others seemed to have maintained a relaxed posture because they had been here many times before.
Although Shen Shi had come to Demon Island the last time, he recalled the two battles he had fought with the demonic beasts. Although they had both won in the end, the ferocity of the demonic beasts still made him a little nervous. After taking a deep breath, he calmed down and slowly walked down the ship’s deck with the flow of people.
Gan Ze, who was here for the first time, was obviously curious. He stood in the crowd and kept looking around. Apart from that, he did not show any unusual nervousness. He did not seem to be worried about how ferocious the demonic beasts on the island would be.
At this moment, Lin Hu ran down from the ship and rushed to Gan Ze’s side. Then, he walked beside him with a smile. It seemed that he really wanted to fulfill his promise to take care of Gan Ze.
Gan Ze looked a little embarrassed. He politely thanked Senior Brother Lin Hu and then declined a few times. However, Senior Brother Lin Hu’s heart was firm and his words were resolute. He definitely couldn’t let a rookie junior brother get hurt in this dangerous demon island. Otherwise, it would be his fault as senior brother.
With these heroic words, Gan Ze was speechless. Everyone in the surroundings quickened their pace and walked towards the depths of the demon island. Only Shen Shi followed behind and smiled bitterly. Was I not the rookie junior apprentice-brother?
