Chapter 850 554: Uncle Chou (2)
Lu Lin stepped out of the hiding place, his expression calm as he asked.
"Whoa, such a handsome young man, you must be the top of this Heavenly Talent List, Lu Lin."
"With such a handsome face, why not go and become a consort to the Female Star Emperor, living a worry-free life, instead of coming here and striving for a chance to stand out among us ordinary people?"
"However, I didn't expect you like playing the game of disguising yourself as a pig to eat the tiger. With such a strong Soul Power cultivation, you're still called a phony champion."
"Indeed, the world is full of ignorance, unaware of themselves."
As he spoke, he kept shaking his head and sighing, yet throughout, he didn't answer Lu Lin's question.
"Who are you?"
Lu Lin couldn't help but ask again.
This man indeed looked ugly, just now facing Sun Junshan, he killed him with a disagreement, yet with Lu Lin, he seemed to have a tendency to talk a lot.
Moreover, Sun Junshan had recognized his identity just now, and this man had also referred to himself as 'I'.
Identity, what exactly is it?
"Haha, a persistent little guy indeed, knowing my name does you no good."
"However, I don't mind telling you, I am Master Wan Chong."
The ugly-faced youth said with self-pride.
But... Master Wan Chong?
Maybe this name resounded in the cultivator community of Longyuan World, but Lu Lin had never heard of it.
He showed a trace of bewilderment at the words.
"Ahem, I am the granddisciple of Master Wan Chong's senior disciple... named Wang Chou."
"You can call me Brother Chou, or Uncle Chou."
Wang Chou said with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He didn't expect that Lu Lin, this country bumpkin, wouldn't even know the name of Master Wan Chong, wasting all his emotional buildup.
Lu Lin stared blankly at the other party.
This person spoke in a way that left him almost breathless, he almost thought the other party really was Master Wan Chong, only to find out he was the granddisciple of Master Wan Chong's senior disciple, such a convoluted relationship, indeed quite speechless.
"Alright, Brother Chou, what did you call me out here for?"
Lu Lin asked.
"For no other reason, I just want to compete against you."
"You actually took the top spot on the Heavenly Talent List, I, Brother Chou, take the top spot wherever I go at any Holy Land."
"Since you've taken it now, then I'll take it back."
"But..."
A cold light suddenly flashed across Wang Chou's ugly face, "But I don't want today's match to be spread around."
As he spoke, Wang Chou waved his hands.
Lu Lin truly felt it this time, a wave of obscure and somewhat pervasive Spiritual Strength emanated from Wang Chou.
This Spiritual Strength wasn't targeted at Lu Lin, but it didn't lack an exploratory intent either.
But Lu Lin didn't put up any resistance, letting the other party's Spiritual Strength invade.
Wang Chou showed a trace of surprise on his face.
But thinking that Lu Lin was the opponent he chose, naturally, he wouldn't be defeated by him so easily, he was relieved.
Under this Soul Power Tidal attack, Lu Lin wasn't affected in the slightest, but all nearby demon beasts and flora became wilted.
Among them, the messenger birds controlled by Zuo Lun were prepared to fly away in escape at the first instant.
But Wang Chou wouldn't give them the slightest chance.
The messenger birds that had just flown up less than three meters, fell to the ground with a plop, lifeless.
"Puff——"
From afar, Zuo Lun, observing Lu Lin and Wang Chou through the messenger bird's view, couldn't help but spit out three mouthfuls of fresh blood.
Wang Chou!
He remembered this name.
In an instant, he severed Zuo Lun's connection with his Beast Control, and along the Soul Power connection, attacked Zuo Lun himself who was far away, showing Wang Chou's ability vastly surpassed his own.
In this Heavenly Talent War, how could there be such a terrifying person?
Moreover, this person was previously in a completely unknown state.
Zuo Lun didn't have time to ponder Wang Chou's background, he could only press his questions down and begin to heal himself.
Not even thinking whether the Lu Lin he had plotted against for days was to live or die.
Zuo Lun was suddenly injured.
Elder Ting Yu, who was paying attention to him from the outside world, changed her expression instantly.
This was a disciple she favored, and during the Heavenly Talent Battle selection, he was injured so easily.
Who was capable of this?
Angrily, Elder Ting Yu quickly checked.
When she saw Wang Chou's ugly face, her heart felt immensely disgusted at once.
She was not only disgusted by Wang Chou's appearance.
But also Wang Chou as a person.
This guy was notoriously notorious among the Nine Great Sacred Lands.
In Longyuan World's Nine Great Sacred Lands, almost every Sacred Land has genius competition trials like the General Mountain Heavenly Talent War.
But Wang Chou took advantage of his cultivation being only at the Star Lord Level, hid his identity, and participated in competitions in various Sacred Lands.
Initially, Wang Chou was discovered after his identity was revealed, and was driven away by some.
However, after his master, Master Wan Chong, personally visited, the Nine Great Sacred Lands no longer troubled this guy.
Master Wan Chong.
Though not as powerful as the Saint Lord, he truly deserved the title of number one under the Saint Lord.
Having been chased solo by the Saint Lord a few times, he managed to escape each time by luck.
Over time, faced with him, the Nine Great Sacred Lands started to ignore him.
Fortunately, although Master Wan Chong liked to create all sorts of poisonous insects, he couldn't be considered a righteous person but had never harmed civilians.
The Nine Great Sacred Land Masters didn't see the need to give their all to eliminate him.
Therefore, this resulted in Master Wan Chong's unrestrained nature.
His personality was clearly inherited by his few disciples.
And Wang Chou, this lazy character, even mirrored Master Wan Chong greatly.
Many years ago, after failing to advance to Star King, he remained at the Star Lord Level.
But this guy was clearly an optimist, relying on his Star Lord Level cultivation and with Master Wan Chong backing him, he entered various Sacred Lands' Heavenly Talent trials multiple times.
Though each house guarded strictly, Wang Chou always found a way to break through.
Over time, each Sacred Land accepted it and even consoled themselves by saying that a Heavenly Talent Battle involving Wang Chou was truly high-caliber.
Much like the catfish effect.
Wang Chou's presence allowed Heavenly Talents from various Sacred Lands to see how strong a top-tier peer could be, thus stimulating their motivation.
And defeating Wang Chou in a competition became a cherished honor for every Sacred Land.
Wang Chou was a touchstone.
Nowadays, even without Master Wan Chong's intervention, Wang Chou could come and go freely within the Sacred Lands.
Elder Ting Yu sighed.
If it were anyone else, she surely would have taken revenge on behalf of Zuo Lun, whom she favored, but since it was Wang Chou.
Hmm, let it go.
Not letting it go, she couldn't do anything either; even having undergone Soul Power transformation five times, she was not a match for Master Wan Chong.
It wasn't worth calling upon Lord General Lv Potian for such a trivial matter.
Let it be, then.
As for Lu Lin, his Soul Power had also undergone three transformations, perhaps he could at least hold his own against Wang Chou.
Although Lu Lin's potential wasn't as promising as Zuo Lun's, Elder Ting Yu still highly regarded his ability.
"All right, now, those annoying flies have left."
"Lu Lin, let's begin the most intense battle."
Wang Chou spoke passionately, making Lu Lin feel so embarrassed he wished he could carve out a Qingming Shanghe Map on the ground with his toes.
"Wait a minute!"
Lu Lin suddenly interrupted with a gesture.
He looked intently at the nonchalant Wang Chou before him and suddenly asked, "Hey, Brother Chou, do you want to advance to the Star King Realm?"
What?
Star King!
Wang Chou's gaze suddenly became serious.
In Longyuan World, those who knew his name naturally knew his past failure in advancing.
Some stronger than him had no need to use this matter to attack him.
As for those weaker than him, how could they have dared to speak to him like this?
Lu Lin, this kid, must be fearless, isn't he aware that Uncle Chou despises having this mentioned?
Wang Chou's gaze changed again.
His eyes showed a cold glint.
