Regarding Pan Feng’s arrival.
Zhao Yun and the others were naturally very happy and asked why he resigned from the General position.
Pan Feng laughed heartily:
"The Great Wei Kingdom is currently thriving and prosperous, and the court is full of strategists and great generals. Whether I am present or not, it does not matter."
He looked towards the direction of the Celestial Ladder, his heart burning with passion:
"What I want most now is to follow in Ding Ling’s footsteps and cultivate stronger in the Martial Dao!"
Zhao Yun stared at Pan Feng for a couple of monts, then suddenly asked:
"Have you reached the entry level in your Inner Refining Breathing Technique?"
"Indeed."
Pan Feng felt both gratified and ashad:
"I owe it all to Ding Ling’s guidance. If not, given my talent, I fear I would never have been able to reach the entry level in this lifeti!"
"General Pan, you are too modest."
Chen Dao raised an eyebrow and said:
"Who in Jizhou doesn’t know you’re the Unrivaled Divine General? Your talent is exceptional. If you have ordinary talent, then no one else would have higher talent."
"Compared to Ding Ling, I really feel like a piece of trash."
Pan Feng learned the word ’trash’ from the players.
Spending every day with the players made it difficult not to be influenced by them.
Pan Feng was naturally no exception:
"Just think about how long it’s been since I t Ding Ling until now? Yet he has already shattered the void and been taken by the Heaven-Ascending Ladder. Without Ding Ling’s help, I might still be standing in place! The gap is too wide!"
"Who else on Jiuzhou Land can compare to Ding Ling?"
Zhao Yun was both gratified and proud, but mostly honored, as Ding Ling was soone from ’his family’:
"It’s natural that General Pan falls short, there’s no need to belittle yourself."
"What you say is true."
Pan Feng had a subtle expression:
"Yet whenever I recall the scenes of teaching Ding Ling, I still feel a sense of life’s unpredictability. The world changes too quickly and too greatly. Ding Ling’s progress is unbelievably rapid. I feel as if I could be eliminated at any mont. So..."
He solemnly said:
"I’ve heard you’re all ready to ascend the Celestial Ladder anyti. Take with you then."
He glanced at his family:
"I’ve made better arrangents for them. You don’t need to worry too much."
"Alright."
Zhao Yun exchanged a glance with Diao Chan.
Seeing Diao Chan didn’t object.
Zhao Yun agreed:
"We’ll go together when the ti cos!"
Tong Yuan and Wang Yue also arrived at the Prince’s Mansion.
Watching from a distance, they did not join the conversation.
They simply stood with hands behind their backs, looking at the Celestial Ladder.
But no matter how they looked, they still couldn’t see through it.
"Where exactly has Ding Ling gone?"
They thought:
"Perhaps when his won have all reached the Super-Elite level, we will know the answer."
They decided to put all their effort into guiding and training Ding Ling’s won.
To help his won together reach the Super-Elite level, and then ascend the Celestial Ladder together!
...
On this day.
Zhou Yu and Gan Ning arrived together outside Chang’an City.
Looking at the Celestial Ladder.
Gan Ning’s emotions were complex.
Now he had no more bells on his waist, no more bird feathers on his head, and his entire deanor had beco much more simple and steady, standing there as steadfast as a mountain, his presence deep as an abyss!
He seed like a completely different person from before!
"If it’s possible, I truly wish to compete with Ding Ling once more in the rivers and seas."
Gan Ning murmured:
"Even if I can’t win, I still want to fight to make up for the regret in my heart."
The last magical battle.
Was too rushed.
Plus, his own skills had not reached the level of Great Perfection, naturally or effortlessly.
But things are different now.
His abilities have beco celestial; just standing there is like a mountain in the sea, attracting attention!
Observing his form and aura.
Anyone with sharp eyes would know he is certainly a super master.
"Hmph."
Zhou Yu snorted coldly, appearing jealous, dissatisfied, terrified, and angry, looking deeply once more at the position of the Celestial Ladder, then turned and left in a whirl.
Ding Ling.
A person he would rember all his life! A person who once caused a shadow in his heart!
Now, that person has ascended!
Would Zhou Yu never have the chance to retaliate?
Then why is he putting so much effort into cultivating?
Why is he desperately learning?
"I must exact revenge!"
Recalling words said to Ding Ling.
Zhou Yu felt a tingling in his teeth.
If he couldn’t avenge.
Encountering Ding Ling and detouring three feet was an unbearable stain and humiliation for him!
"Zhou Yu. Wait a mont."
Gan Ning chased after him:
"Didn’t you co to Chang’an City this ti to participate in the imperial examination? Why are you leaving now?"
"I suddenly felt that participating in the imperial examination was aningless."
Zhou Yu took a deep breath, with a gaze as sharp as a blade as he looked at Gan Ning, they beca friends halfway through journeying, out of mutual admiration:
"I want to focus on learning martial arts, to ascend the Celestial Ladder! Next ti, I’ll compete against Ding Ling once more. Next ti, I will definitely defeat him!"
"Hmm."
Gan Ning praised:
"Your talent is exceptional, remarkably wise. I believe you can definitely do it."
He said this, paused, as if he saw sothing, giving Zhou Yu a sidelong hint with his eyes.
Zhou Yu looked over.
At this sight.
He was thunderstruck.
He saw Xiao Qiao.
The woman dressed as a married woman, following closely behind Diao Chan! The very Xiao Qiao with whom he had once had a great relationship, and felt they were destined to marry!!
"Zhou Yu!"
Xiao Qiao also saw Zhou Yu, her expression halted for a mont, then she maintained a calm deanor.
She and he were only friends.
She appreciated him.
But she was more grateful to Ding Ling, because Ding Ling supported her more, and stood firmly by her side when she and her sister were vulnerable.
Moreover, through daily interactions over ti.
Xiao Qiao’s heart was already etched with Ding Ling’s imprint, impossible to erase.
She admired Zhou Yu.
But she worshiped Ding Ling more.
Because in comparison, Zhou Yu was incomparable to Ding Ling.
Therefore.
Xiao Qiao still considered Zhou Yu a friend, but at most, would only offer polite greetings, because she was now the Prince’s woman, and had to maintain a distance from outsiders!
"You!"
Zhou Yu seed to want to say sothing, but seeing the indifferent eyes of Diao Chan, Zhao Yun, Du Qingcheng and others, as if he understood sothing, his handso face flushed red, ultimately said nothing, just turned and left even more quickly.
His figure appeared sowhat embarrassed.
As if one who had failed to the utmost was distancing himself from past beauty.
But at the sa ti.
His eyes were flickering with flas.
The belief in defeating Ding Ling! It was growing even deeper!
Not having defeated Ding Ling!
He, Zhou Yu, will definitely not, cannot give up his efforts.
He must strive with all his might, work hard so that one day he can openly stand before Ding Ling, challenge him face-to-face, and defeat him!
He wants to show Xiao Qiao.
He, Zhou Yu, will not be defeated a second ti!
...
"Sigh."
Da Qiao watched Zhou Yu’s retreating back, sighing softly.
Seed to want to say a few words.
But suddenly, her gaze was drawn to a figure, and upon seeing that person’s appearance clearly, she was startled.
