I meet all the requirements for becoming a god in this world!

"Thank you for your courtesy."

Cheng Laiyun calmly bowed to the master and apprentice, displaying great courtesy.

"May I ask, sir, where is Master Huo Dongqu?"

Only then did he see the faces of the master and disciple in front of him clearly.

The old man was dressed in a short, thin shirt, with a resolute face. He looked quite old, but in fact, he moved with great strength and his eyes shone with sharpness.

His magnanimity is evident.

As for this guy named Qi Dazhuang... from what I can see so far, apart from being taller, there are no other special features.

If I had to say, it was those eyes that were somewhat "wise".

But none of that matters.

Miss Xu only told him to come and find Master Huo to hone his strength, and that he should just train honestly and there was no need to get entangled with the people here.

After all, he would eventually have to return to the young lady's side to cultivate the Mo Sect.

"That is I." The old man stood with one hand behind his back, his face indifferent, giving people the imposing presence of a grandmaster.

"Oh?" Cheng Laiyun's eyes brightened slightly, and he took out an envelope from his pocket:

"This is what Miss asked me to give to Master Huo."

Good luck, at least the Taoist priest didn't have to run around anymore.

Huo Dongqu frowned slightly as he looked at the envelope that Cheng Laiyun handed him.

The martial arts academy of Xu's Cloth Shop.

Not just anyone can get in.

There are fixed quotas, one radish per slot.

For ordinary people to come and learn martial arts, in addition to having strong connections, their families must also be wealthy enough, since the consumption of spiritual rice alone is something that ordinary people cannot afford.

As for teaching quality...

To put it another way, in the entire Yong'an County, Huo Dongqu claimed to be second in martial arts, and no one dared to claim to be first.

In the Xu family's cloth shop, Huo Dongqu's status was no lower than that of the Xu family's patriarch.

Huo Dongqu opened the envelope in front of Cheng Laiyun.

When his gaze settled on the letter, his eyes twitched uncontrollably.

There were no extra words on the envelope.

Just a few simple large characters:

"Please take good care of me, Grandpa Huo!"

Huo Dongqu's face looked somewhat dazed.

The image of the young lady's quirky and mischievous appearance flashed through his mind, and he shook his head in relief.

"Okay, you can stay with Qi Dazhuang for now."

Huo Dongqu remained expressionless, simply waved his hand, glanced at Qi Dazhuang, and said:

"First, find him a place to stay, and after lunch, he can come to the courtyard to study."

With that, he walked outside.

Wherever he went, disciples who were practicing would stand at attention and bow to him.

Good morning, Master!

"Master!"

"Master!"

…………

Without any visible steps, he was already seven or eight zhang away in the blink of an eye.

Cheng Laiyun watched Huo Dongqu's departing figure.

A sense of awe and respect naturally arose in my heart.

Is this the way of martial arts...?

With that kind of ability, you could easily win an Olympic gold medal, right?

Moreover, he could tell that Master Huo held a very high position in the Martial Arts Academy.

It even holds a high position within the entire Xu Family Cloth Shop.

"My name is Qi Dazhuang, you can just call me Dazhuang from now on. What's your name?"

After Huo Dongqu left, Qi Dazhuang lowered his head and looked at the newcomer in front of him who was a head shorter than him.

Cheng Laiyun was deep in thought.

Hearing that muffled voice out of the blue suddenly struck me as amusing.

He looked up at Qi Dazhuang's serious face and grinned.

"Cheng Laiyun, thank you for your kindness."

"Hmm..." Qi Dazhuang pondered for a moment, then looked honestly at Cheng Laiyun and said:

"Your name is better than mine."

"He looks a lot like Qi Laifu from my village."

"By the way, Qi Laifu has a dog named Laicai."

Cheng Laiyun's lips twitched.

No, why are you talking so much?!

But when he met Qi Dazhuang's sincere gaze, he had nowhere to vent his anger.

He recalled the scene of Qi Dazhuang nearly drowning in the water, and instantly felt relieved.

It's really unnecessary to get close to such a scoundrel.

"Senior Brother Dazhuang, I saw you lying in the water vat just now... saying you were awakening your supernatural powers?"

"May I ask, what is this supernatural power?"

Cheng Laiyun followed behind Qi Dazhuang, and the two walked forward.

Cheng Laiyun knew very little about the extraordinary things in this world.

So now he urgently needs to catch up.

"Amazing power..."

When this is mentioned, Qi Dazhuang's face is full of anticipation, and hope shines through his eyes:

"Supernatural powers are divine skills that transcend all cultivation systems and lead directly to the Great Dao."

……

After some discussion.

Cheng Laiyun gained a preliminary understanding of "supernatural powers".

In this world, there is a type of person, similar to the X-Men mutants of the previous life, who is called the Superpowered.

As the name suggests, it means that they awaken supernatural powers through certain means, whether innate or acquired.

Gods are usually classified according to the five elements, spirit, and body.

It is divided into six levels: Yu, Zhou, Tian, ​​Di, Xuan, and Huang.

When a person with supernatural powers dies, they leave behind their power, which is absorbed by their descendants. The supernatural powers gained through absorption usually result in a decrease in their level.

The highest level of "Yu" level divine power cannot be passed down.

of course.

Besides inheritance, there is another method to awaken supernatural powers.

That is, awakening supernatural powers between life and death.

However, the probability of this is extremely small. Throughout the entire history of the Great Yuan Dynasty, there have only been about ten cases of awakening in this way.

Moreover, the awakened power is only at the Yellow level, and the highest level is no more than the Profound level.

It is said that supernatural powers did not exist before the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty.

After the founding of the Great Yuan Dynasty, the Emperor Taizu mobilized the entire nation to build a high platform and pray to the gods for blessings, which resulted in the gods bestowing divine powers.

This is also the basis upon which the Great Yuan Dynasty was able to sweep across seven kingdoms and unify the world in just one hundred years.

"So, all those with supernatural powers are actually being manipulated by the royal family?"

After frowning and pondering, Cheng Laiyun looked up at Qi Dazhuang, who was spitting everywhere, and asked.

"Of course." Qi Dazhuang nodded matter-of-factly, his honest face revealing longing:

"The seventy-two universe-level divine abilities of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends can only be revealed in the world after they have been approved by the founding emperor of my Great Yuan Dynasty."

It turned out to be the case.

Cheng Laiyun was slightly dazed.

He thought that even if someone possessed extraordinary power, there shouldn't have been a feudal dynasty for two thousand years.

Moreover, according to his calculations, having a supernatural system would actually greatly reduce the ruling power of the feudal dynasty's royal family.

Now that Dazhuang has explained it to him, he understands.

Supernatural beings are a force firmly held in the hands of the royal family.

With such power at their disposal, there's really not much anyone can stir up trouble.

All reforms fail because the rulers lack sufficient power.

But when the ruler has enough power, there is no question of offending anyone by touching anyone's interests.

If you dare to object, I'll just wipe you out.

But then again...

Cheng Laiyun stroked his chin.

His gaze settled on the [Divine Invocation Platform] within his sea of ​​consciousness.

"My supernatural abilities... I hope they won't attract the attention of the royal family of the Great Far Dynasty?"

"After all, they're not from the same system."

During their conversation.

Cheng Laiyun's bed has been made.

He shared a room with Qi Dazhuang.

Looking at the long, thick ropes hanging from the beams of the room.

Cheng Laiyun blinked, looking at Qi Dazhuang with a hint of confusion:

"Senior Brother Dazhuang, what are these ropes...?"

"Oh, that's what I use to awaken my supernatural powers." Qi Dazhuang chuckled and explained earnestly to Cheng Laiyun:

"We can only hang people for half an hour a day; any more than that and we'll run out of space."

"If you'd like to try it, you can borrow it."

"No need, no need, you're too kind." Cheng Laiyun waved his hand repeatedly, his gaze towards Qi Dazhuang filled with admiration.

Niu Bo Yi.

This person looks simple-minded.

In reality, he's not very smart.

At the same time, he secretly gave Qi Dazhuang a thumbs up.

What kind of extraordinary person could think of drowning themselves and hanging themselves with a rope to awaken their supernatural powers...?

"Knock knock..."

Suddenly, the sound of bells rang out in the courtyard.

Upon hearing the bell toll, Qi Dazhuang slapped his forehead: "Oh no!"

Uh?

"What happened?" Cheng Laiyun looked outside curiously.

"I was so busy talking to you that I forgot to eat!" Qi Dazhuang said with a look of annoyance.

"Chef Chen won't leave me any food!"

"I paid for this spiritual rice!"

……

Cheng Laiyun opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.
