Upon hearing these words, Shi Ling was overjoyed, and his footsteps involuntarily quickened. Then, at this moment, a voice suddenly rang out, "Shi Ling, wait a moment."

Shi Ling turned his head to look at the source of the voice, only to discover that it was Long Yang. He did not know why this fellow had come looking for him in the middle of the night.

Long Yang ran over to Shi Ling and said, "I was wondering why you weren't in your room. So you came here."

"What's wrong?" Shi Ling asked.

Long Yang directly held onto Shi Ling's hand and walked in a certain direction, saying, "It's people from the Golden Glow Palace. They want to see you."

Shi Ling frowned. As he followed Long Yang, he asked, "Someone from the Golden Luo Palace?" What are they looking for me for? "

Long Yang shrugged. "Who knows?"

With that, Long Yang brought Shi Ling to an immortal estate. This place wasn't some immortal estate, but a real manor. It was a special privilege that one could only enjoy after becoming an inner disciple.

At this time in the pavilion, there were two people sitting there. One of them was Lu Xuan, and when he had faced Zhang Yusheng's challenge, he had helped him before. As for the old man next to Lu Xuan, Shi Ling had never seen him before.

Long Yang arrived in front of the pavilion. After seeing Shi Ling come, Lu Xuan hurriedly stood up from his seat, and then came in front of Shi Ling, smiling: "Junior brother Shi Ling is really a busy man. I haven't been able to find you all day."

Shi Ling smiled and said: "That's not it either. I just went to watch a match and then stayed there for a while. I just came back. Um, I wonder why senior brother Lu Xuan called me here?"

At this time, Lu Xuan had a hand on Shi Ling's shoulder, bringing him into the pavilion, and said: "It's nothing. It's just that my father knew that I had a friend who had very high cultivation attainments, so he sent people to take a look."

Saying this, Lu Xuan then said to the elder: "Uncle Hao, this is the junior brother Shi Ling that I mentioned to you before. Don't look at his young age or his low cultivation, but his body's brute force isn't weak."

Wu Hao looked at Shi Ling. His body was quite sturdy and his face was quite handsome. His clothes were simple and he was obviously just an ordinary service disciple without any background. Wu Hao raised his wine cup, took a sip and said, "I am the overseer of Jin Luo Palace."

When Shi Ling heard this, his pupils constricted. He quickly cupped his fists towards Wu Hao and bowed, saying, "Servant disciple Shi Ling greets Lord Supervisor."

Shi Ling was stupefied. For the sake of such a small errand girl like him, the Golden Temple had actually called over a supervisor to come here. Wasn't this too f * cking thinking too highly of him? It had to be known that a supervisor was a group of inner disciples who was directly under their control, so he himself was nothing in front of them.

At the same time, he didn't forget to glance at Lu Xuan beside him. If Wu Hao was sent by his father, then what position did his father hold? Above that would be the sect elders. That was to say, Lu Xuan's father was at least a hall master or hall master level figure, and the other side had come out of the Golden Luo Palace. Then Lu Xuan's father would most likely be the Golden Luo Palace's Hallmaster!

Thinking of this, a cold sweat couldn't help but slide down Shi Ling's forehead. Thinking back to when Zhang Yusheng had been making things difficult for him, and after seeing Lu Xuan's expression that didn't dare to be impudent, this was probably the only reason.

Wu Hao didn't put on any airs at this time and waved towards Shi Ling, indicating that he should sit down and talk. Shi Ling, Lu Xuan, and Long Yang sat down at the stone table and heard the old man suddenly say to Lu Xuan: "This old man won't beat around the bush. I want to test Shi Ling's physical strength. Third Young Master shouldn't have any objections, right?"

Lu Xuan still didn't dare to have any objections. He then said to Shi Ling: "If junior brother Shi Ling is willing, then I have no objections."

Wu Hao's eyes then looked to Shi Ling, and at this time, when Shi Ling heard the other side call Lu Xuan third young master, he knew he had guessed correctly. He coughed once and then said: "We are willing to listen to the director's orders."

Wu Hao nodded and clapped his hands. Then, he saw a group of burly men enter the pavilion. Each of them had knotted muscles and veins that bulged out from their bodies. Although there were no mana fluctuations, they gave people an inexplicable pressure.

Wu Hao took out a golden rope from his storage ring and tossed it to a large man. He then said to Shi Ling, "You can go and fight them."

The corners of his mouth twitched. Although he was confident that his physical strength was not weak, he would not be able to handle so many men at once.

Wu Hao said, "Let's spar with one person first, then increase."

After understanding the situation, Shi Ling nodded and smiled, "Alright, I understand."

Saying this, Shi Ling stood up, and Long Yang's eyelids twitched as he looked at the big men. Seeing those firm muscles made his entire body uncomfortable, then looking back at Shi Ling, he revealed an expression of helplessness. Lu Xuan also let out a bitter smile.

After walking out of the pavilion, he stood in confrontation with one of the men. The man threw the rope in his hand towards Shi Ling, and Shi Ling grabbed it. The other man drew a line between the two of them.

As Lu Xuan looked at the two's prepared appearance, his heart wasn't sure. He heard Wu Hao say: "Begin!"

Yet, he stomped his foot on the ground forcefully, causing Shi Ling to be startled at first. After that, he was almost pulled away as he silently cursed the physical strength of the people from the Golden Net Palace in his heart. Immediately, he stomped on the ground and quickly stabilized his body.

After that, the power of five raging bulls burst forth, pulling the big man towards them.

When the match ended, it was only for a moment. When Wu Hao saw this, there was no joy nor worry on his face. He waved his hand again and three people went up. This time, it was three more people.

Wu Hao took out a medicinal pill and threw it to Shi Ling, saying, "Eat this. After you recover, we'll have a try with these three."

After Shi Ling received the pill, he didn't eat it. Instead, he placed it in his ring and said, "I'm not too tired right now. I'll eat it after I take care of these three people."

Hearing this, Wu Hao laughed and said, "You have a lot of confidence, but let's see if you have the ability to take these three down." Although he appeared a little angry on the surface, there was a hint of praise within his eyes.

Wu Hao really liked the calm aura of Shi Ling, as well as the confidence that emanated from within him. He just did not know if that confidence matched his strength.

Shi Ling was holding a rope with both hands, raising his chin towards the three people in front of him. This action of his was not arrogant at all. However, Wu Hao said, "Begin!"

Suddenly, the three burly men released their power at the same time. Their terrifying power would force even an elephant to retreat backward, but Shi Ling did not panic, pulling them backwards bit by bit. Not long after, the three of them were pulled out of the line.

No one knew better than Wu Hao what three men meant. Each of them was equivalent to the strength of a Barbaric Bull, and adding all three of them together, they were equivalent to the strength of three raging bulls. However, what did Shi Ling defeating the three men so easily just now mean? This meant that Shi Ling's physical strength had far exceeded the strength of three raging bulls.

However, people like Shi Ling, who was only seventeen years old and could reach the Great Circle of the Spirit Accumulation Realm, were few in number. At the very least, Wu Hao himself had never seen anyone whose physical strength could surpass the strength of three raging bulls at the age of seventeen.

Even though he was excited, there was no change in Wu Hao's expression. With a wave of his hand and five people, he went over. At that moment, he was curious as to exactly how much power Shi Ling possessed.

At this point, Shi Ling picked up the pill Wu Hao had given him earlier and put it in his mouth, beginning to recover his strength. This time around, even he didn't dare to underestimate the five men.

Very soon, when Shi Ling had recovered, he stood up once again. This time around, facing the five men, he felt that the pressure was really huge.

At that moment, both sides had made their preparations. Wu Hao said, "Begin!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Ling exerted all his strength, attempting to pull the five of them towards him in a single breath. At the same time, the five of them also exerted all their strength, and the rope in the middle instantly tightened.

Inside the pavilion, Wu Hao, Lu Xuan, and Long Yang all looked over. Long Yang stared blankly at the scene in front of him, thinking in his heart when did Shi Ling's body become so strong.

He started to hold his breath as he stared straight at Shi Ling. At this moment, Shi Ling felt as if he was pulling a mountain, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move a single inch. The other five people also felt the same way.

The man at the front of the five people exerted more force on his muscles. With a loud roar, he stomped on the ground, causing the ground to cave in. In the next moment, the remaining four people did the same.

Afterwards, Shi Ling began to be pulled over bit by bit. Lu Xuan and Wu Hao's eyes began to widen, thinking to themselves about whether or not Shi Ling had already reached his limit.

However, he did not. At this moment, Shi Ling could not help but recall Grandma Blackbrow's words when she took ChenLu away: "She will be the person standing at the peak of this sect in the future. I do not wish for her to be tied down because of your matter.

As he thought of this, the rage within Shi Ling's heart suddenly soared. Promptly, both of his hands suddenly exerted force. The terrifying force was akin to that of a primordial vicious beast from the ancient times.

Shi Ling leaned back with all his might and growled in a low voice. His muscles also began to ache as he pulled the five men closer and closer to him.

Lu Xuan and Wu Hao both stood up at this time. Long Yang stared blankly at everything. They watched as Shi Ling slowly pulled away the five men. The shock in his heart was indescribable.

Just as the five of them were about to cross the line, they suddenly heard a light bang, and were sent flying.

Lu Xuan and Long Yang suddenly arrived behind Shi Ling, helping him to reduce the force of his retreat and avoid his injuries. As for the five men, they were a lot better off and directly fell onto the ground, not suffering much damage.

At this time, Shi Ling's head was already covered in sweat. Looking towards Lu Xuan and Long Yang beside him, he said thanks.

Then, a hearty laugh was heard. Wu Hao walked towards Shi Ling with his hands behind his back, smiling as he said, "Not bad, to be able to reach the strength of five raging bulls at such a young age, I have not come in vain."

At this point, Shi Ling clasped his fists towards Wu Hao and said, "Sir, you are flattering me."

Wu Hao took out a command medallion from his bosom and handed it over to Shi Ling, "I heard that you're going to participate in the outer sect examination tomorrow, so I hope that after you enter the outer sect, you can come to my Golden Net Palace. Trust me, you won't regret it."

It was clearly made of pure gold, and there was even a word 'Gold' carved on it. Wu Hao patted Shi Ling on the shoulder and said, "Alright, I won't stay here any longer, you think about it carefully."

Saying this, he strode towards the door. At this time, Lu Xuan put a hand on Shi Ling's shoulder and smiled: "Junior brother Shi Ling is pretty good. I hadn't thought that after a month, the strength of his body had increased so much."

Shi Ling laughed dryly and said, "No, no."

Long Yang walked over and took the token from Shi Ling. He looked it up and down before asking, "What's the use of this?"

Shi Ling shook his head and said, "How would I know?"

Lu Xuan smiled as he continued: "In the Spirit Sword Sect, all outer disciples of the Jin Luo Hall must carry out the order of this token."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ling couldn't help but open his eyes wide and exclaim, "All of the outer court disciples of the Golden Luo Palace?"

Lu Xuan smiled and nodded his head. Shi Ling took the medallion back from Long Yang, making Long Yang roll his eyes.

Afterwards, Shi Ling and Lu Xuan greeted each other and then left his mansion together with Long Yang, walking outside.

While he was walking with Long Yang, Long Yang suddenly asked, "Shiling, do you know what happened at the Fierce Tooth Mountain not long ago?"

Hearing Long Yang's sudden question, Shi Ling turned his head to look at him and asked, "What is it?"

Long Yang said, "I heard that not long ago, there were many experts of the Zhang family who went to the Fangs Mountain to carry out missions, but they were eaten by demon beasts. Even Yan Wuping died there, and I remember that not long ago, when you went out on a mission, you also went to the Fangs Mountain, so I came to ask you."

As soon as these words were spoken, Shi Ling's gaze flickered. He wasn't sure if he should mention this matter to Long Yang. After a slight hesitation, he said, "I'm not very clear about this." It wasn't that Shi Ling didn't believe Long Yang, but there were some things that shouldn't be revealed to others. Furthermore, involving Long Yang wouldn't benefit him either, so Shi Ling still wanted to hide it from him.

Long Yang didn't say anything at this time. After a slight hesitation, he said, "I heard that even the Qiu Family was involved."

Shi Ling pretended to be surprised. "It can't be. What kind of mission would require the cooperation of the Zhang Clan and the Qiu Clan?"

Long Yang scratched his head and said, "I don't know either. It's said that the people who carried out that mission all died, not even their corpses could be found. Only the person surnamed Qiu didn't die, he seemed to have been saved by a stroke of luck.

When Shi Ling heard this, he looked at Long Yang with shock in his eyes. "Qiu DaoZhuo is not dead!" he muttered in his heart.
