Wu Gengji, I will become Zi Yu's apprentice at the beginning! ! !

Time passed quickly, and half a year had passed in the blink of an eye. During this time, Wang Hun had been following Zi Yu and studying Qi refining and swordsmanship skills, and his strength had improved by leaps and bounds.

Now, his strength has already raised his Qi refining power to an extremely high level, enough to be comparable to ordinary gods of the God Clan, but still slightly inferior to top powers such as Tiankui, Shixing, Zhui Ri and Taiji. He is equivalent to Liuyue and slightly better than Guimu.

At this time, the King's Soul was so powerful that Zi Yu had to use 40% of his strength to fight against it. If it were a year ago, Zi Yu would have needed to use 60% of his strength.

Because in the process of teaching Wang Hun the Qi Refining Technique, Zi Yu also benefited a lot through constant discussions and exchanges, and his understanding and application of the Qi Refining Technique has improved by 30% compared to half a year ago.

Wang Hun thought back to Zi Yu's previous life. At that time, his strength was comparable to Tian Kui's, and he was better than other gods of the gods. But now he is nearly 50% stronger than in his previous life. He can beat any god.

However, he was still inferior to the Saint King of the God Clan, especially the True Zen Saint King. But fortunately, he still had a lot of room for growth.

On this day, Wang Hun, armed with the Qi-refining techniques he had just learned, walked briskly toward the place he was very familiar with - the place where Zi Yu often taught Qi-refining and swordsmanship, and where they practiced skills and exchanged experiences.

When Wang Hun arrived, Zi Yu stood there quietly with one hand behind his back. Unlike the past, there was a letter in Zi Yu's hand. He read the letter attentively, as if he had forgotten everything around him. Only when Wang Hun approached did Zi Yu raise his head, take his eyes off the letter, and put the letter away.

Wang Hun stared at Zi Yu, and understood clearly in his heart. He already knew the contents of the letter and what was going to happen. Zi Yu, his teacher, was about to set off to return to Chaoge to fight side by side with his brother, King Shang Wangshou, to fight against the gods together.

However, Wang Hun's expression did not change after learning this. He walked to Zi Yu as if nothing had happened and asked, "Master, what are you going to teach me today?"

Zi Yu looked particularly calm. He stared at Wang Hun and said slowly, "Wang Hun, I want to leave here. To be more precise, I want to return to Chaoge."

Wang Hun pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Chaoge? Master, what are you doing there?"

Zi Yu sighed softly and replied, "My brother is the king of the Great Shang Kingdom. He summoned me back, so there must be something important that I need to deal with. Perhaps, we will hardly meet again in the future."

Wang Hun knew what he was talking about, but he still pretended to be confused and asked, "Why can't we meet again in the future?"

Zi Yu closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he spoke: "You are already ten years old this year, which means you are half an adult. Now, I must tell you something."

Wang Hun could not wait to respond: "Teacher, please speak directly!"

Zi Yu said slowly: "My elder brother, the king of the Great Shang Kingdom, has decided to rise up against the gods who have long oppressed mankind. He needs me to go and assist him, and this has always been my wish and goal."

Wang Hun immediately said without hesitation: "So, teacher, are you going to fight the gods? No, I want to go with you, and I want to participate in the war against the gods!"

Zi Yu gently stroked Wang Hun's head, a smile on his face, and comforted him: "Don't worry, you will become stronger when you grow up. Therefore, you can't go on adventures with me. But if the teacher can't come back, the teacher hopes that you can help me complete one thing."

Wang Hun immediately replied in a serious tone, "Teacher, just give me your orders."

Zi Yu continued, "If the teacher doesn't come back, you must inherit the teacher's beliefs, eradicate the powerful, and help the weak. If possible, do your best to help humans and jointly resist the brutal rule of the gods."

Wang Hun said solemnly: "Teacher, please rest assured! I understand my responsibilities and will do my best to help the weak and assist everyone in resisting the bullying and oppression of the gods."

Zi Yu showed a satisfied look and responded, "Taking you as my apprentice is indeed a wise move. I am about to leave, please remember to tell the proprietress Xia Shu that these accommodation fees are enough for you to continue to live here peacefully for at least one year."

Wang Hun stared at Zi Yu, tears glistening in his eyes. However, Zi Yu did not hesitate, and quickly showed a firm smile, and then jumped on the horse beside him without any reluctance. He rode the horse heroically, moving forward all the way, never looking back, and finally disappeared at the end of the endless desert, going farther and farther, until his figure completely disappeared.

Wang Hun just stared at Zi Yu's receding back quietly, his eyes following closely behind him, as if he wanted to deeply imprint this moment in his heart. When Zi Yu's figure finally disappeared completely, he came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream, and slowly turned around and left with a heart full of attachment and reluctance.

In Chaoge City, a thin and ugly man with a vulture on his shoulder appeared outside the palace and then slowly walked into the palace.

Facing the entire court and the King of Shang sitting on the dragon throne, Xuanchai slowly said, "These extremely tired feet! They have walked 438,000 miles continuously without stopping for a moment. A full six months have passed, and now they can finally take a break."

The King of Shang had actually already guessed the purpose of the envoy's visit, but out of courtesy, he still pretended to cough twice and then asked, "I wonder why the envoy of God has come here?"

The divine messenger Xuancha responded with a hoarse and harsh laugh: "The King of Shang is really a straightforward person! I came here this time to act in accordance with the will of 'Heaven'. You need to prepare more slaves and find more bloodstone veins to intensify mining. In recent years, the output of bloodstone has been declining, which makes 'Heaven' very dissatisfied. The gods issued an order requiring that the output of bloodstone must increase to at least twice that of last year in one year!!!"

This statement was like a bolt from the blue. All the ministers present were stunned. Even the usually calm King Shang was slightly startled. He knew that the greed of the gods was endless, but he was still shocked by their shameless behavior.

Then the messenger took out the "Heaven's Decree" and handed it over carefully as if he were holding a rare treasure. The King of Shang waved his hand, and a servant came forward like a ghost, took the "Heaven's Decree" with both hands, and then respectfully placed it in front of the King of Shang's desk as if he were serving a god.

The King of Shang had already made up his mind to cut off all ties with the Gods, but in order to fully understand the ugly faces of the Gods, he suppressed his anger and said patiently: "Over the years, our great Shang Kingdom has done its best to carefully survey every inch of land in the country. It is indeed difficult to find new bloodstone veins. Moreover, now there are already 8 million people driven to mine bloodstone, and another 4 million people are used by the Gods privately. It is really impossible to provide more slaves for the Gods to use."
