If Heaven hadn't given birth to me, I would be arrogant.

"Xiao Ze is here. Come in and sit down!"

After the servant led Zongze to the outside of a courtyard, Kintner's voice came from inside. The servant did not enter the courtyard, but turned around and stood at the gate!

"Uncle, you were looking for me?"

Upon entering the courtyard, Zong Ze discovered that Jin Tuna was not alone; Lu Zhongen was also present, and the two were sitting face to face on either side of a small stone table.

"Come, sit down and talk!"

Kintner pointed to the stone bench next to him.

After Zongze sat down, Kintner said with a serious expression, "Xiaoze, I'm not saying this to scold you, but you were too reckless today!"

"Reckless?"

Zong Ze glanced at Lu Zhongen and asked, "Uncle, which matter are you referring to? Is it the matter of communicating with Master Lu, or the matter of accepting Leng Duanshan's challenge?"

"Both!"

Kintner did not deliberately avoid the question because Lu Zhongen was present. In fact, with his strength and realm, he didn't need to avoid anyone at all: "First of all, it's about Elder Lu. Fortunately, Elder Lu is an upright person. If someone had evil intentions, it would be easy to arouse jealousy if you rashly talked about alchemy with others!"

"You don't need to look at me!"

Lu Zhongen looked at Zong Ze, who was staring at him with surprise, and waved his hand with a smile: "My relationship with him is complicated. There's nothing we can't talk about. I heard from Turner that you know about the Dark Temple. My ranking is ahead of his!"

"what?"

Zong Ze was stunned. Lu Zhongen's meaning was very clear. He was also one of the high priests of the Dark Temple. Kintner was the sixth high priest, and the first high priest was Gaddafi, the lord of Chaotic Ridge. So Lu Zhongen was one of the second to fifth high priests!

Surprised?

Lu Zhongen looked at Zong Ze's face and said, "Don't be surprised. I am indeed at the peak of the Great Power level. However, my position in the Dark Hall is due to my age and alchemy skills, unlike your uncle, who earned it through sheer hard work!"

"I see!"

Zong Ze suddenly realized: "Didn't Elder Lu tell my uncle about the moral character of alchemists?"

"say what?"

Lu Zhongen glared at him: "In terms of status, I am a little higher than him. In terms of age, he should call me Elder Lu. In terms of seniority, he should call me Uncle-Master. Besides, he is not an alchemist. Why would I talk to him about alchemist matters?"

"Uncle Master?"

Zong Ze was shocked again. If Kintner's master was Gaddafi, the number one expert on the Chaotic Continent, then Lu Zhongen's identity was obvious!

"Yes, Uncle-Master, but I'm a failure as an Uncle-Master. I'm far inferior to my Senior Brother in cultivation. If I hadn't received the inheritance of alchemy, I might have been expelled from the sect long ago!"

Lu Zhongen hummed a couple of times!

"Hehe, since Elder Lu didn't say, then I will say it!"

Zong then told Kintner about the issue of morality for alchemists, explaining that one could not become an alchemist if one's morality was poor.

"So that's it!"

Kintner understood, but then he added, "I get that. You alchemists have your own way of judging things, so I can't participate. But the fact that you're actually an alchemy master has been a secret from me all this time, which is a bit odd!"

"Uncle, you don't seem to have asked me about this!"

Zongze smiled and countered, "I can't just tell my uncle everything I know at once, would that make me seem too impetuous?"

"Hey, you think you're right? Let me ask you, what's the deal with you agreeing to the Blood Battle Arena with Leng Duanshan? Don't you know how dangerous the Blood Battle Arena is? I heard from my uncle that Rayleigh clearly told you the rules of the Blood Battle Arena."

Yet you still rashly accepted their challenge, even after promising not to use your spatial escape technique. Did you realize that even though Leng Duanshan suppressed his strength, he was still only at the early stage of the Transformation Realm?

Having studied under the Dragon Horn Tree for many years, Kim Than naturally knew that what Zongze used was not spatial magic, but the Five Elements Escape Technique unique to the Korean people. However, in front of Lu Zhongen, Kim Than could only say that it was a spatial escape technique.

"Uncle, don't worry. Even without using spatial escape techniques, I don't take a cultivator at the early stage of the Incarnation Realm seriously. Tomorrow, Leng Duanshan shouldn't go on stage. As long as he does, I guarantee he won't be able to leave the arena!"

Zong Ze truly harbored murderous intent towards Leng Duanshan. At that time, their words and glances towards Han Zhixuan had already angered Zong Ze. Han Zhixuan was Zong Ze's Achilles' heel; whoever touched her would die!

"How can you be so confident? You should know that Leng Duanshan is not the same Bi Tian as before. Compared to Leng Duanshan, Bi Tian is nothing but trash!"

Kintner was still worried!

“In front of me, Leng Duanshan is nothing but trash. It’s just that I have some special methods that I can’t use. Otherwise, even if he doesn’t suppress his strength, he wouldn’t be my match. Facing me, he would only face certain death!”

Seeing that Kintner still looked worried, Zong Ze didn't say anything more. He stood up and used the Cloud Ladder Leap to quickly circle the courtyard before returning to his seat!

"Uncle, do you think that with the movement techniques I just used, I could completely defeat Leng Duanshan without using spatial escape techniques?"

"This speed?"

Kintner and Lu Zhongen looked at each other. Although Lu Zhongen's strength was not very high, he was still a peak Great Power. He knew very well how fast the Divine Sect Realm and the Transformation Realm should be!

The speed achieved by Zong Ze's combat technique just now was something that even Lu Zhongen, a peak-level expert, couldn't seem to match!

"Alright, as long as you have this speed, even if you can't touch Leng Duanshan, he can't touch you either. Now I can rest assured!"

Kintner let out a sigh of relief: "But Xiaoze, you've been hiding too much, haven't you? Tell us today, what else are you hiding?"

"Actually, it's nothing?"

Seeing the expectant looks in Kintner and Lu Zhongen's eyes, Zong Ze knew that he also needed to reveal some of his own trump cards at this point. It was very difficult to survive in this chaotic city without a backer, especially since Zong Ze needed to strengthen his own power!

After Zong Ze briefly recounted his encounter with Yao Bing in Yao Bing's courtyard during the day, before Jintner and Lu Zhongen could react, Zong Ze said something to Lu Zhongen!

"How long has Master Lu been at the peak of the Great Power realm?"

"It's been a long time. With my limited talent, it's very difficult to break through to the Divine Wrath Realm unless I advance to the Grandmaster Alchemist level and refine the Punishment-Guiding Pill. Otherwise, this is probably the end of the road. Fortunately, I have pills to support me, so I don't need to worry about my lifespan!"

"Is that so?"

Zong Ze lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then looked up at Lu Zhongen and said, "Master, there's no need to rush. Once I advance to the Transformation Realm, I will offer you the Punishment Pill with both hands to help you break through to the Divine Wrath Realm!"
