Chapter 82 - The Master has Spoken
Lu Zhou’s heart stirred slightly. ‘This Mingshi Yin! He won’t stop making me worry. Since you’ve already conveyed the message, you can just peacefully return. You just had to get in conflict with Fan Xiuwen’s men. If you provoked Fan Xiuwen and get yourself killed, you’ll only have yourself to blame!’
Mingshi Yin was still quite a distance away from the Evil Sky Pavilion. Although Lu Zhou could rescue him with a Peak Form Card, it would still take some time for Lu Zhou to reach him even if he unleashed all his techniques to rush over. If Mingshi Yin managed to escape unscathed from the Black Knights, he was certain Mingshi Yin would be able to protect himself better in Great Yan in the future.
The path of cultivation was fraught with dangers. Lu Zhou did not wish for anything to happen to Mingshi Yin. Although this disciple of his was unruly, he was certain Mingshi Yin had the potential to be someone great with the right education. Moreover, he also hoped to earn merit points through Mingshi Yin. Currently, the system dashboard showed he had 1,710 merit points.
Lu Zhou thought to himself, ‘I have two Deadly Strike Cards left. They should be enough. Binding Cage’s hit rate is too low. I should buy two more.’ When he opened the item cards tab, he saw Binding Cage had been unlocked. It cost 200 merit points each, and he bought three in a go.
‘I have six Binding Cage Cards now, this should be enough, right? I’ll go for the lucky draw next time. It’ll be worth it if I manage to get an avatar. I’ll only make two draws.”
…
Two days later.
Lu Zhou finally decided to stop comprehending the Heavenly Writing for now. After continuously studying it, he discovered he had made some headway. The more he comprehended it, the more his mental state improved. The improvement seemed to show itself when something unexpected happened. A good example of this was when he encountered the Buddhist Brahman Lullaby and when his fourth disciple, Mingshi Yin, approached the hidden chamber. He managed to remain unaffected by the Brahman Lullaby and repel Mingshi Yin. He muttered to himself, “Could it be that the process of comprehension allows me to gain extraordinary power?” This seemed to be the only logical explanation, for now.
“Interesting.” Fan Xiuwen nodded. He walked up as the Four Dark Knights trailed after him.
The last Dark Knight to cross the barrier paused for a moment to look at Mingshi Yin before he said, “Fourth disciple of the Evil Sky Pavilion, if we have the opportunity in the future, let’s exchange some moves.”
Without batting an eyelid, Mingshi Yi calmly said, “Master has said that I’m not to fight without a reason…”
