Chapter 657
The Gods' Mark could hide . Even Saints could not discover it .
How powerful was this gray-haired old Taoist's cultivation? How could he see Zhang Ruochen's Gods' Mark and even know that he had experienced four Chords of the Gods?
If he could see his Gods' Mark, surely he also saw Zhang Ruochen's true identity?
Zhang Ruochen was extremely nervous, yet his face still looked calm and collected .
The gray-haired old Taoist turned around and waved his hand . "Lin Yue, you've already earned three Sword Comprehensions . It doesn't matter whether they were from our three Patriarchs or not—you have to make good use of them . Leave now! Prepare for the upcoming grand sword contest . If you have time, visit the Ancient Gods Mountain . You may find it beneficial . "
When he heard the gray-haired old Taoist address him as "Lin Yue," Zhang Ruochen finally relaxed . He realized the old man would not make things difficult for him .
Even so . . . why had he not exposed him on the spot?
Why did the gray-haired old Taoist trust him so much? How could he be sure Zhang Ruochen was not an undercover member of the Black Market or Demonic Sect?
Zhang Ruochen was baffled . He had conflicting emotions as he followed a narrow, shady path toward Zixia Sacred Mountain and left the Supreme Pure Palace .
He said to himself, "The Yin and Yang Sect is indeed full of undiscovered talents . My altered appearance may deceive Half-Saints and Saints, but not old superiors of incredible cultivation . I must continue practicing the Change of 36 Forms until I reach Big Success in the First Change . Only then can I disguise myself flawlessly . "
When Zhang Ruochen returned to Zixia Sacred Mountain, he found Xun Hualiu waiting for him at his courtyard, seemingly unbothered by his injuries .
An obese young man was beside him . His rotund belly nearly burst his Taoist robe .
Zhang Ruochen looked at the man . He guessed that he was the third of the three romantic swordsmen, "Fat Mu" Mu Jiji . Xun Hualiu had mentioned him before .
Xun Hualiu looked extremely serious . "Boss Lin, I hear that you signed up for the sword contest of the Eighth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm . Is it true?"
The three romantic swordsmen had once vowed that whoever had the highest cultivation would be called "Boss . "
Mu Jiji was the former boss since he was the first to break into the Fish-Dragon Realm .
Things had changed now . Lin Yue had beaten a Saint's disciple of the Third Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm . He had surpassed Mu Jiji who was of the First Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm . He was now their true boss .
Zhang Ruochen nodded and answered . "Yes . "
Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji looked at each other wryly .
Although they knew Lin Yue was now very powerful, they did not think he could beat Monks of the Eighth Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm .
Lin Yue was now the boss, however, so they could not say much .
Zhang Ruochen led them into a study . He sat down and glanced at Xun Hualiu . "I made a bet with Gai Hao . If you lose to Pang Long in the grand sword contest, I'll have to give him a Holy Sword . "
"Pfff!"
Xun Hualiu had just sat down and was taking a sip of tea . He spat out the tea in his mouth in shock, spraying Fat Mu's face across him .
"Ahem! Boss Lin Yue, Master Lin Yue, would you stop joking? How can I beat Pang Long? You'll lose too much, betting a Holy Sword! If you have too many treasures, give your Holy Sword to Junior Sister Han Qiu . Maybe you can win her heart that way . " Xun Hualiu pulled a long face .
Mu Jiji also felt that Lin Yue was crazy . "Boss Lin, although Xun Hualiu and Pang Long are both of the First Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm, there's a vast gap between their cultivations . Gai Hao will win your Holy Sword easily . "
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said, "I was confident when I made the bet . There's one more month before the sword contest . If Xun Hualiu's cultivation breaks into the Second Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm, he can easily beat Pang Long . "
"It's not possible for a Monk to break into the Second Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm within a month . " Mu Jiji immediately shook his head .
Zhang Ruochen hooked his finger and knocked the tabletop . "I won't force a complete stranger to do it, but it's our rare affinity to know one other . Now I am giving you two a chance . How you choose is completely up to you . "
Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji felt Boss Lin meant something significant with these words .
To know each other is a rare affinity—that was as good as saying nothing, wasn't it?
After reflecting for 15 minutes, Xun Hualiu came to a decision first . "I'll say it again: If you can make me reach the Second Change in the Fish-Dragon Realm before the contest, you can do whatever you want with me . I'll risk my life to help you win the bet . "
Mu Jiji smiled and said, "If you put it that way, count me in . "
Zhang Ruochen said, "Very well since you two have made up your minds, I will assist you all the way . The two of you have reached the Fish-Dragon Realm while you are still very young . This means you have great potential . In fact, your potential exceeds those of many so-called geniuses . Once you realize three points, it won't be hard to beat Pang Long . "
Xun Hualiu and Mu Jiji asked together, "What three points?"
"First, improve your physical quality . You two should at least cultivate a treasured body .
"Second, switch to a different exercise . Practice an exercise of at least the King's Stage .
