Before this, before they had entered the Wasteland, Ming Yu had already seen Meng Ruyan. And a month ago, during the Flame Refinement Clan Newcomer Assessment, Ming Yu had interacted with Meng Ruyan a few times.
And now, when Ming Yu saw Meng Ruyan again, he remembered that Meng Ruyan had already become Soong Yuanyuan's elite disciple one month ago. Now that he was chosen as well, that meant that Meng Ruyan would be his junior-apprentice sister from now on?
Since he didn't know who to ask for Fire Cloud Hall's location from, Ming Yu might as well ask Meng Ruyan.
Thinking of this, Ming Yu had already leaped down the mountainside. True energy was injected into his legs, and he stepped on the river and flew towards the mountain on the other side.
Ming Yu did not call for the Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing because the Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing was still in Fighting Ground, so it did not rush over immediately. However, Ming Yu was not worried, he was already connected to the Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing's heart meridian, both of them could sense each other's Qi, it was only a matter of time before the Dragon-Sparrow of Black Wing found this place.
"Phew …"
Ten minutes later, Ming Yu arrived at the opposite side of the mountain. He looked at the same three story red building, exhaled a breath of impure air and was about to call Meng Ruyan. Unexpectedly, Meng Ruyan had already pushed open the window on the second floor and looked at Ming Yu with her beautiful eyes.
She wore a relatively loose red muslin dress. Her skin was like snow, and her figure was graceful. Her hair fell down, and her facial features were exquisite and fair.
Although it was just a simple face with a trace of laziness on it, it still possessed an otherworldly aura and was full of charisma.
"It's you?"
When she saw Ming Yu, Meng Ruyan frowned slightly. She vaguely remembered that the teenager in front of her had a grudge with Shentu Ze, and Shentu Ze had been looking for Ming Yu for a month but still hadn't found Ming Yu.
However, he had not expected that the youth's figure would appear here today.
"Mn, it's me. I just arrived here today, and the Quiet Ink Pavilion on the other side is my residence." Ming Yu replied.
"You were accepted by the Master?"
Ming Yu nodded. "We have just been selected today. We will study together in the future. If you have anything to say, please advise."
"Fine."
She had just used her mind to find out that Ming Yu had already reached the first stage of Core Controlling Stage. It was probably because of the sudden increase in his strength during this one month that Master had taken notice of his growth speed, and Shentu Ze was probably selected by the other Great Clan Elders.
Meng Ruyan only made a few guesses in her mind, but didn't ask any further. Because she didn't care at all, it didn't matter even if she didn't ask.
Her looks and temperament were both outstanding and her Core Controlling Stage was number one, expert of First Layer. Because she could cast a powerful illusion technique, her combat power was on par with some of the second stage Core Controlling Stage's Peak Expert!
For a powerful warrior like Shentu Ze, no matter how strong his combat power was, the moment he was caught off guard by Meng Ruyan's illusion technique, he would dig his own grave, lose himself in the illusion, and then kill himself.
Therefore, although the illusion technique was soft, it carried a fatal killing intent, and could not be underestimated!
At the age of seventeen, she was already able to reach such a level. Meng Ruyan was already difficult for her peers to meet her match within the same age group, and Meng Ruyan's growth speed was extremely fast as well. In this one month of absorbing the surrounding dense Elemental Qi of Universe, her cultivation had increased by quite a bit, and the current her was even stronger than it was one month ago.
With her astonishing talent, she would gradually catch up to those whose cultivation was higher than hers. As for those geniuses who were just a hair's breadth away from her, she would only end up widening the gap between them. In the end, she could only look up to them.
Therefore, Meng Ruyan was bound to grow up to be a genius at the pinnacle of Flame Refinement Clan, and she was born with a trace of arrogance and arrogance in her noble temperament.
She did not care about anyone, did not judge anyone, and only treated them with a polite smile. She was very polite.
It was this cold, otherworldly aura that made the other male disciples even more crazy and unable to stop themselves.
But in the end, it was just a dream, because the woman in the red dress was just like her name. Like a dream, like a smoke, like a bubble.
"Mn, I want to attend the ceremony tomorrow. I want to ask you where your Fire Cloud Hall is." Ming Yu asked honestly.
"Pass through this mountain range and head straight ahead for a hundred kilometers. That fiery-red colored building is Fire Cloud Hall. If you're worried, you can go over and inspect it." Meng Ruyan said.
Ming Yu shook his head and smiled: "Of course I believe you. If you have the time, you can show me around here and introduce the surrounding buildings. After all, I'm a stranger to this place."
"You can go buy a map yourself. There's a more detailed introduction to the surroundings than I have explained."
Meng Ruyan stood by the window on the second floor and shook her head. She had no intention of coming down.
"Alright, if you have the time, you can come over to my place and spar with me." Ming Yu felt the atmosphere was a bit cold, so he tried his best to ease the awkwardness.
Meng Ruyan stood by the window and nodded slightly, not saying anything.
"Then I'll be going." Ming Yu said.
"Bye bye."
"Bye." Ming Yu waved politely at Meng Ruyan before turning around to leave. He heard a creaking sound behind him and turned around, only to find that Meng Ruyan had already closed the window and was no longer able to see her figure.
From the start to the end, Ming Yu had asked about the location of Fire Cloud Hall and Meng Ruyan had indeed answered his question. From the start to the end of the conversation until Meng Ruyan's closing of the windows, everything seemed to be very normal.
However, for some reason, Ming Yu felt a little uncomfortable. However, he couldn't pinpoint exactly where that discomfort was.
Maybe Meng Ruyan was that kind of person.
Ming Yu shook his head, cast aside the distracting thoughts in his head, and then started to once again return to his Quiet Ink Pavilion.
The first floor was an elegantly decorated hall. The second floor had an independent Cultivation Chamber, a study, and the third floor had a comfortable bedroom.
Ming Yu quickly arrived at the second floor's independent Cultivation Chamber and started to absorb the surrounding Elemental Qi of Universe, gathering them together to make up for the morning consumption of true energy.
The surrounding dense True Qi was filtered, and gushed in from all directions from the independent Cultivation Chamber, fusing into Ming Yu's heart.
With every beat of his heart, a large amount of dense and pure Elemental Qi of Universe would enter Ming Yu's body, and Ming Yu would release his breath evenly, his entire being's breath becoming heavier and heavier.
After this morning's four battles, Ming Yu's understanding of martial arts improved again, and he even unleashed a powerful killing move like the Great Dragon-Elephant Fist.
Because of the influence of the Great Dragon-Elephant Fist, Ming Yu's entire body had a vigorous and explosive power, giving off a heavy and steady feeling.
If he didn't move, then he would move. With a single move, he would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat!
Under the continuous infusion of energy, Ming Yu was in a relaxed state and quickly entered a meditative state.
He felt as if his entire body was filled with strength and explosive energy.
"Boom!"
Ming Yu seemed to have heard some noises, and the noises became louder and louder until finally, Ming Yu woke up from his meditative state.
"BOOM!"
The moment Ming Yu opened his eyes, he heard a dull sound of metal colliding. He stood up, pushed open the Cultivation Chamber door, walked to the window and took a look, only to find that there were six martial practitioners standing in front of the pavilion.
The person in the lead, however, had used his fist to hit the steel pillar, causing a dull sound of collision to ring out.
"You trash, have you finally come out?"
The teenager that hit the metal pillar sneered at Ming Yu. He pointed at Ming Yu's nose and shouted, "Get the hell down here."
The reason why he did not bring anyone to attack the tower was because the Flame God Sect had clearly stated that no one was allowed to damage any building with Flame God Sect. If there was no reason for it, or if there was a personal grudge, he would compensate according to the original price.
It was because of this that he and the other warriors were waiting outside.
Ming Yu stared at the warrior who was shouting and couldn't help but frown: "Who are you?"
"You don't remember who I am?!"
That youth was so angry that his face turned purple: "I am Sun Heng, have you forgotten about the good thing you did at Flame Refinement Cave?"
"Flame Refinement Cave …"
Ming Yu thought about it for a while and then said speechlessly, "Oh, I remember now. You're the senior who tried to cut the queue and got sent flying by my slap?"
"…"
When the other five experts heard this, their expressions changed. What Ming Yu said was undoubtedly a disgrace to Sun Heng. In the end, Ming Yu called him "Shi Ge" in a mocking tone. Sun Heng gritted his teeth in anger.
Previously, he had struggled to find Ming Yu for a month without any results. These days, he had been tossing and turning, often losing sleep, so this morning he did not manage to snatch a seat in the audience seating for himself and could only return resentfully.
Not long after, he heard that Ming Yu had already been accepted by Soong Yuanyuan as an elite disciple. After finding out where his residence was, he brought his men here.
"Ming Yu, shut your mouth. As a man, don't be timid. Come out and fight!"
With a "sou" sound, Ming Yu quickly arrived in front of Sun Heng. Sun Heng was frightened and quickly retreated. He looked at Ming Yu warily and cold sweat unconsciously broke out from his forehead.
"Are you afraid now? "Shrinking away, like something." Ming Yu shouted coldly.
Sun Heng tried his best to calm down after a brief moment of shock and said: "I heard that you have reached the first level of Core Controlling Stage. You naturally have a reason to become an elite disciple.
"You're really funny."
Ming Yu was almost amused by Sun Heng. He spread his hands and said, "But, come on, it's good as long as you're happy."
Although Ming Yu was also Core Controlling Stage's number one, expert of First Layer, since he was defeated this morning by Shentu Ze, whose strength was on par with a powerhouse of the second level of Core Controlling Stage, how could he care about this insignificant threat in front of him?
"Swish!"
Just as he finished speaking, Ming Yu had already started rushing towards Sun Heng. Sun Heng suddenly turned around and barely dodged Ming Yu's punch, but Ming Yu unexpectedly did not slow down at all and threw a punch forward, causing the disciple at the first level of Core Controlling Stage to similarly charge forward without backing down.
The two fists collided head on!
"BOOM!"
Ming Yu's strength and the abnormal toughness of his bones caused that disciple to instantly experience pain. Two of his bones were broken, and his entire body tumbled to the ground in the distance. He was in so much pain that he grimaced, and did not have the strength to fight anymore for the time being.
Ming Yu turned into a whirlwind, violently beating the crowd around him. Dodging, punching, kicking, Zhen Qi filled his entire body and continuously attacking. Although it was a simple move, under the amplification of the abnormal strength and the pure Zhen Qi of the Mind Pill, Ming Yu's attack was extremely ruthless.
"You can die now."
Sun Heng had been dodging the entire time, and now that he saw Ming Yu blast a Core Controlling Stage disciple behind expert of First Layer, and use a low-grade Profound Level martial skill, including his boundless anger towards Ming Yu, the sword pierced towards him crazily!
"Violent Snake."
Suddenly, Ming Yu's figure flashed, barely dodging the sharp sword attack. Sun Heng was also surprised, but he did not retract the sword that he used to attack. Instead, he took the opportunity to slash towards Ming Yu's waist.
However, Ming Yu did not dodge at all this time. He clenched his fist and punched out. The dragon elephant behind him rushed out and casually struck the Dragon-Elephant Fist!
"You …"
With a "peng" sound, the Longsword in Sun Heng's hand was sent flying. At the same time, Sun Heng was also shaken by the power of the Dragon-Elephant Fist.
He originally thought that if he called so many people here, he would be able to deal with Ming Yu, but under the encirclement of the six Core Controlling Stage s expert of First Layer, Ming Yu was able to slaughter them like a wolf entering a flock of sheep, tormenting them to such an extent.
Only now did Sun Heng realize that the distance between him and Ming Yu was as wide as a chasm.
"It's better if you die."2
Without saying a word, Ming Yu stepped on the snake's blur and directly caught up with Sun Heng's shadow that was thrown away. He kicked Sun Heng's lower abdomen like lightning, kicking him from the hillside down the mountain and into the river with a "Putong!"!
For a moment, the disciples who were knocked to the ground looked at each other in dismay. They did not expect Ming Yu to be this powerful!
However, in the next moment … A figure suddenly appeared behind Ming Yu like lightning.
"Injuring my younger brother broke the clan rules. I will represent the Flame Refinement Clan Law Enforcer to cut off one of your arms and put you on trial."
The figure approached in an instant. The fiery red spear in his hand was like an afterimage as it stabbed towards Ming Yu's right shoulder in an instant!
