Chapter 1235: Chapter 1234: Probing with a Test Move

However, he really did not expect that overnight, he had actually been promoted to the Fourth Rank. This was practically a miracle, and what made it even more unbelievable was that such a miracle would fall upon him.

Suddenly, Wang Junyi knelt down straightaway.

"Master, from now on, I, Wang Junyi, will definitely pursue you with unwavering loyalty!" After speaking, he sincerely bowed to the void again.

It was much as Su Changfeng had guessed. After accepting Wang Junyi as his apprentice yesterday, Wang Junyi didn’t truly view Su Changfeng as his master. After all, before receiving any benefits, who would sincerely follow a guy who appeared out of nowhere and whose strength is unknown?

But after a night, Wang Junyi had already deeply understood Su Changfeng’s abilities.

Just with one fruit, he could level up twice. From this alone, it could be seen that Su Changfeng’s strength had reached an unimaginable level.

Someone like that, naturally, Wang Junyi would no longer question and would treat him as a true formidable person.

Shen Family.

Su Changfeng was lying on the bed, his eyes gazing into the void, thinking about something unknown.

"One night has passed, Wang Junyi as a pawn should be no problem now. It’s time to let this guy help find out Qingqing’s whereabouts." Su Changfeng murmured to himself.

One night has passed, the Red Fruit should have taken its effect, and a benefited Wang Junyi would naturally trust him, which was without a doubt.

After washing up, Su Changfeng walked out the door and realized someone was following him.

He felt a bit curious, considering he was still in the Shen Family Mansion; who would be so bored to follow him around?

But soon, the corners of Su Changfeng’s mouth curved slightly. He might know who it was. It should be Shen Rushuang purposely testing him.

Needless to say, yesterday Shen Rushuang didn’t find out the things she wanted to know from him. Given her temperament, she wouldn’t give up so easily.

At this moment, the person behind suddenly made a move; Su Changfeng restrained his instinct to counterattack, acting as though he wasn’t aware of any danger approaching.

Soon, a tyrannical force hit his back, and Su Changfeng was sent flying, even spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Shen Yunlong snorted, stepped up to Su Changfeng with an arrogant demeanor, and disdainfully said, "Rushuang still thought you were a hidden expert; now it seems that you’re just so-so, really useless!"

Su Changfeng wiped his mouth and asked angrily on purpose, "Who are you? I have no grudge against you, why did you hit me?"

Shen Yunlong bent down, grabbed Su Changfeng’s hair, forcing Su Changfeng to look at him, and then spoke: "Remember well, I am Shen Yunlong, brother of Shen Rushuang, just a piece of trash. Do I need to explain more?"

After speaking, Shen Yunlong released Su Changfeng and walked away without looking back.

Su Changfeng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; he naturally wasn’t hurt, it was all an act. To think that someone with Second Rank power could hurt him was utterly ridiculous.

But Su Changfeng’s objective had already been achieved; after what had just transpired, Shen Yunlong fully believed he was just a worthless person.

He stood up, patted the dust off, and strode out of the Shen Family.

Outside, Wang Junyi’s arranged people were still present, so as soon as Su Changfeng left the Shen Family, Wang Junyi immediately got the news and hurriedly left his house.

Su Changfeng headed straight to outside the city, while Wang Junyi also approached from another direction, and finally, they met in the wilderness.

Upon meeting, Wang Junyi changed his previous attitude, kneeling reverently before Su Changfeng, sincerely calling out "Master."

"In the future, when we meet, there’s no need for such formality, come on in," Su Changfeng said.

"Thank you, Master." Wang Junyi then stood up, the former deep-seated hatred completely vanished, replaced entirely by admiration and respect.

Overnight, leveling up twice, if this were told to others, probably no one would believe it. However, Wang Junyi did achieve it, and it was precisely for this reason that he clearly knew just how formidable Su Changfeng was.

"Have you improved in strength?" Su Changfeng inquired.

"Master, I have; I actually advanced directly from Second Rank to Fourth Rank." Speaking of this, Wang Junyi couldn’t hide his excitement.

The effect of the Red Fruit was indeed remarkable, allowing Wang Junyi to level up twice in a single night, and that was just the initial manifestation of its effects. There would be more benefits in the future, and it’s believed that Wang Junyi’s future progression in strength would also be easier.

"Although it didn’t reach my expected outcome, it was already quite good. At least in Tianshui City, being Fourth Rank is considered quite formidable, right?" Su Changfeng said.

"Yes, in Tianshui City, Fourth Ranks are indeed not many; with my strength, I can be regarded as a top expert, of course, under the premise excluding Master." Wang Junyi replied.

Su Changfeng had always been puzzled by Tianyuan Continent’s rank performance; however, it seemed to be common knowledge on Tianyuan Continent, and he didn’t dare to easily ask, lest someone noticed something which might endanger his situation.

But now, with Wang Junyi fully trusting him, even if there were suspicions, it might not pose much of a problem.

"I’ve been in seclusion for years, so I’m not very aware of the outside world’s affairs; about how the ranks are portrayed, I’ve almost forgotten. Why not tell me about it?" Su Changfeng lightly asked.

Though Wang Junyi found it somewhat strange, he did not think too much and directly took out his blade, explaining: "Master, as a cultivator from a young age, one’s Life-bound Magical Artifact is formed; and personal rank performance is correspondingly reflected on the Life-bound Magical Artifact."

Speaking, four blue lights were hovering around the blade.

"What if there’s no Life-bound Magical Artifact?" Su Changfeng asked with a frown.

"If there’s no Life-bound Magical Artifact, it means the entire rank is destroyed, and it’s no different from being a cripple. However, on Tianyuan Continent, destroying someone’s Life-bound Magical Artifact would incur public wrath; therefore, it’s generally avoided," Wang Junyi explained.

Su Changfeng nodded, realizing there’s a lot about Tianyuan Continent he didn’t know, needing thorough understanding in the future.

"What if one doesn’t have a Life-bound Magical Artifact?" Su Changfeng asked again after some thought.

Wang Junyi paused, then couldn’t help but laugh: "Master, are you joking with me? Any cultivator, how could they not have a Life-bound Magical Artifact?"

"Really?" Su Changfeng frowned; he didn’t have such a thing. Although he wasn’t from Tianyuan Continent, could it be that the cultivation conditions of the two worlds are different? 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Mas...Master?" Uncertain what came to mind, Wang Junyi suddenly became agitated, looking at Su Changfeng with utter disbelief.
