Chapter 443: Mission Progress! Heading South to the Destination
Latest release.
Hong Qigong felt immensely satisfied just looking at those characters.
More than once, he said if Ding Ling were to take the imperial examination, just based on these characters, he could indisputably bring back the title of Advanced Scholar!
Even without taking the exam, these characters are enough to make Ding Ling famous throughout the land and admired by future generations.
In his eyes.
Ding Ling is truly omnipotent now.
A Kitchen God level in cooking.
A Celestial God level in martial arts.
Even his calligraphy is at the Calligraphy Saint level.
Ask the world.
Where else can you find a second such prodigy?!
Too terrifying!!
After bidding farewell to Ding Ling, Hong Qigong, while riding a horse given by Ding Ling, couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh:
"It’s true that in this vast world, there are endless wonders. I never imagined that in my old age, I would encounter such a pair of divine lovers.
Encountered such an unbelievable, beyond rational standard prodigy!
Comparing him.
What are Wang Chongyang, Eastern Evil, West Poison—all of them are just nonsense!"
Speaking later.
Hong Qigong couldn’t help but utter a ’national curse.’
One can see the surging and agitated emotions within him.
The longer he spent with Ding Ling.
The more Hong Qigong could sense Ding Ling’s terrifying prowess.
He now dares to conclude.
Ding Ling’s abilities undoubtedly only display the tip of the iceberg; perhaps Ding Ling also possesses top-notch expertise in medicine, painting, and playing the zither?
"How old is he?!"
"Even if he started cultivating from the womb, he wouldn’t be this terrifying, right?"
But considering Ding Ling’s cultivation of Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms and Dog Beating Stick Technique, both mastered in an instant like instincts.
Hong Qigong was speechless, choked up, and sighed to the sky:
"He truly is a god! Who knows how far this guy Ding Ling can go, truly wishing to see him standing at the peak of the world, witnessing his most glorious moment during my lifetime."
...
Hong Qigong went on to pursue the Five Uglies of Tibet.
He was unaware of Ding Ling’s killing of Qiu Chuji and defeating the monks of Shaolin Temple.
If he knew.
Who knows if he would regard Ding Ling as an enemy?
Ding Ling initially did not think of this aspect.
It was only after interacting with Hong Qigong for a while that he learned what Hong Qigong had been up to during this time.
Thinking about Hong Qigong’s personality, naturally, he knew Hong Qigong surely was unaware of his deeds during this period.
Regarding this.
Ding Ling did not know what to say.
Feel grateful?
Sigh?
Be at ease? Relax?
It is hard to say.
But Ding Ling knew that he always acted with courage and determination, with no regrets!
He does not regret killing Qiu Chuji and defeating the monks of Shaolin Temple; even if time were to rewind and he had to do it again, he would still do it.
He generally doesn’t provoke others actively.
But if someone dares to provoke him, even with the intention to kill him, he won’t care who they are; if they’re going to kill him, how could he hold back?
Ding Ling has traversed multiple worlds, killing countless people; it’s not an exaggeration to call him the butcher of tens of thousands.
Does he shy away from killing?!
Ding Ling took a deep breath, looked at the letter in his hand, and thought:
"With Hong Qigong’s letter, learning the complete Nine Yin Scripture shouldn’t be difficult. My only worry now might be if the Guo Jing and Huang Rong couple harbor any resentment towards me after knowing what I’ve done, and won’t pass it on to me."
Ding Ling slightly furrowed his brow.
He can only choose to take it one step at a time.
If the Guo Jing couple really refuse.
Ding Ling wouldn’t force it.
He would choose to leave.
Go searching for other cultivation skills.
Ding Ling glanced at the character panel:
[Aptitude 3 (ordinary people at 1 point), Wisdom 4.2, Strength 50.8, Agility 51.4, Constitution 53.3, Defense 47.2, Charisma 11.7.]
Strength, Agility, Constitution all exceeded 50 points.
These three attributes have broken a layer of shackles.
Ding Ling can clearly perceive the surge in his power, speed, and all aspects.
If supported by the Fusion Qi of the Five Great Breathing Techniques and Nine Yang Divine Skill, Ding Ling’s strength would be immeasurable!
Absolutely not just five thousand jin, perhaps even tens of thousands of jin are possible.
How many jin exactly, Ding Ling does not know, as it’s hard to measure.
He can only activate the Fusion Qi, then utilize the strength inherent in his physical constitution, and when he unleashes a palm strike, he can effortlessly break a big tree, flatten the earth.
Every move, tens of thousands of jin strength, is definitely there!
"The natural physical strength alone reaches over five thousand pounds. With Fusion Qi to complement it, it’s truly invincible."
Ordinary people couldn’t even withstand tens of thousands of pounds.
Being able to withstand even a thousand pounds surpasses Third-class Generals.
It’s safe to say.
If Ding Ling takes action now, even if a group of Second-class and Third-class Generals line up, form an army, with a Drumming Golden Hammer in his hand, he could sweep them all aside on the spot!
[1: Defeat more than 20 plane world experts: 47/20.]
The experts he defeated include: Qiu Chuji, Hao Datong, Sunx Bu’er, Little Dragon Girl, Li Mochou, dozens of First-class or higher experts from Shaolin Temple...
[3: Your name must resonate as the world’s number one throughout the plane world. 13%/100%.]
This is the current situation of Ding Ling’s tasks.
Task 1 has been completed unknowingly.
Task 3 also jumped from 0% to 13%.
It shows that his ’notoriety’ must have resonated in one region, receiving recognition from many people, who believe he is the world’s number one.
This undoubtedly includes some of Kublai’s warriors.
After all, they once faced Ding Ling directly, causing the most tragic casualties.
"The names of Hai Dafu and Mu Renqing are not on the list for task 1. As expected, defeating them doesn’t count."
It’s quite clear.
Task 1 requires defeating the strengths of this plane world only.
Ding Ling pondered:
"There are quite a number of strong individuals on this plane. Perhaps this time there’s hope for more glory bonuses."
Naturally, Ding Ling wants to earn more Glory Medals.
It concerns not only his potential to ascend.
But also whether he can purchase more and better treasures.
"Let’s go then."
Ding Ling saw that the Little Dragon Girl had already tidied up the scattered equipment and said to her:
"We are going to Xiangyang."
"Where you go, I go."
The Little Dragon Girl immediately replied:
"We are a couple. There’s absolutely no reason to part ways."
Hearing her words.
Ding Ling thought of the Ascension, and wondered what choice the Little Dragon Girl would make at that time?
It seems he needs to prepare for it.
Ding Ling and the Little Dragon Girl mounted their horses and headed south to Xiangyang.
Along the way, Ding Ling continued to guide the Little Dragon Girl.
This time the Little Dragon Girl added the Dog Beating Stick Technique to her cultivation skills.
This Stick Technique is truly remarkable.
Once mastered, even a random piece of wood by the roadside can be turned into a ’Divine Weapon,’ so there’s no reason not to learn it.
Moreover.
Hong Qigong allowed the Little Dragon Girl to learn this cultivation skill and even compete for the Beggar Gang Leader position, so how could Ding Ling let her not learn it.
As for the Beggar Gang Leader position?
Ding Ling had no interest at all.
Being a Prince before.
How could he want to be a Beggar Gang Leader?
It truly doesn’t pique his interest.
Better to go with the flow.
...
On this day.
Ding Ling and the Little Dragon Girl couple arrived near Xiangyang.
While resting and drinking tea at a tea stall, they saw a group of people riding towards Xiangyang City.
On the road, many local people watched, but they were unmoved, as if they’ve seen it many times and have become accustomed and numb.
The Little Dragon Girl, although seeing such a scene for the first time, showed no interest and was focused entirely on Ding Ling, occasionally pouring tea for him.
Serving him meticulously.
Attracting the attention of many natives and players nearby, they couldn’t help but whisper:
"Ding Ling actually came to Xiangyang. Is he intending to join the Hero Assembly?"
"Hehe. Kublai’s general was killed, prompting early movements southward, aiming to besiege Xiangyang and break Xiangyang City. The Guo Jing couple had no choice but to assemble martial arts heroes to Xiangyang, seeking to defend Xiangyang together. But I think, this matter is precarious, with little reason for success. Now Ding Ling comes.
Tsk tsk, it instantly turns the scene into a puzzle, leaving the outcome unclear."
...
Players have mixed feelings towards Ding Ling, ranging from jealousy, envy, admiration, approval, awe, wishing for Ding Ling’s demise; all these emotions exist;
But without exception.
They all highly recognize Ding Ling’s unparalleled martial power.
They all feel that with Ding Ling’s presence in Xiangyang, his intervention might turn the tide for what seemed to be destined as a defeat for the martial arts heroes and Xiangyang’s side?
As for why they believe Xiangyang’s side is bound to lose?
It’s because Kublai’s side has recruited many experts from other worlds.
And Xiangyang’s side.
The court is inactive.
There’s no enthusiasm in recruiting these extraordinary talents, compared to the vastly open-minded, generous, grand and noble Kublai, clearly, the Great Song Court’s leader ’Emperor Lizong of Song, Zhao Yun’ lacks such character, not to mention his inability to discern talent, which leads to the Great Song Court being dominated by treacherous officials.
Up till now.
The Great Song has entered its final years, and unless there’s someone capable of turning the tide, able to suppress everything with unparalleled heroism, it inevitably faces extinction.
