Open up and break into another world

City of Desirelessness.

City Lord's Mansion.

Xu Ming, Fang Ping, and Supreme Desirelessness and others sat down as guests and host.

"Supreme Sky Sovereign Crouching Dragon? Pleased to meet you!" Supreme Desirelessness sized up Xu Ming for a while, and actually found that he couldn't quite see through the other party's cultivation—being unable to see through the cultivation, there were two possibilities. One possibility was that his cultivation was not as good as Xu Ming's, so he couldn't see through it; the other possibility was that his cultivation was similar to Xu Ming's, but Xu Ming was on the verge of breaking through, so his cultivation was relatively difficult to fathom.

"Cultivation higher than mine?" Supreme Desirelessness secretly shook his head and smiled, "Could it be that Fang Ping has even managed to rope in a 'High-Rank Sky Sovereign' as a helper?"

Supreme Desirelessness was a Mid-Rank Sky Sovereign; in his opinion, a High-Rank Sky Sovereign would not possibly help Fang Ping. After all, a High-Rank Sky Sovereign was already qualified to talk to the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion on equal terms, so how could they possibly play house with Fang Ping?

It's just… how could Supreme Desirelessness have imagined that Xu Ming's strength was really at the High-Rank Sky Sovereign level! Moreover, the cultivation that Xu Ming was currently displaying as Supreme Sky Sovereign Crouching Dragon was also that of a High-Rank Sky Sovereign!

"Since he's not a High-Rank Sky Sovereign, then he must be either a Mid-Rank Sky Sovereign or a Low-Rank Sky Sovereign!" Supreme Desirelessness thought as a matter of course.

"Pleased to meet you!" At this time, Xu Ming also said with a smile.

Xu Ming certainly knew that Supreme Desirelessness was guessing his strength, but so what? Let him guess! A mere Mid-Rank Sky Sovereign was not qualified to be taken seriously by Xu Ming.

"Supreme Sky Sovereign Crouching Dragon's cultivation is that of a Mid-Rank Sky Sovereign?" Supreme Desirelessness couldn't see through it, so he simply asked directly.

"No!" Xu Ming said directly.

The cultivation he was displaying was that of a High-Rank Sky Sovereign, of course it wasn't that of a Mid-Rank Sky Sovereign.

"No?" However, to Supreme Desirelessness, this answer meant something else—if it wasn't a Mid-Rank Sky Sovereign, then it was a Low-Rank Sky Sovereign?

Thinking of this, Supreme Desirelessness's attitude towards Xu Ming became even more indifferent.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit cold, Fang Ping couldn't help but feel secretly anxious, but there was nothing he could do. After all, what he mainly relied on to win the assessment was Supreme Desirelessness!

At this time, Supreme Desirelessness asked again: "Supreme Sky Sovereign Crouching Dragon should know that Fang Ping is a direct disciple of the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, and is currently undergoing the 'Elder Candidate' assessment! Your coming here now should mean that you want to participate in this assessment together, right?"

Xu Ming nodded: "That's right!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll have to say some ugly things first!" Supreme Desirelessness said with a smile, "The reason you and I are willing to help Fang Ping, to put it bluntly, is that everyone is bustling about for profit! What we're after is being able to get a share of the benefits after winning the assessment, right?"

Xu Ming continued to nod.

"But…" Supreme Desirelessness continued, "Who should get a bigger share, and who should get a smaller share, this depends on strength!—The stronger get more, and the weaker get less, wouldn't you say?"

As soon as Supreme Desirelessness's voice fell, a Low-Rank Sky Sovereign stood up from the side.

"Brother Crouching Dragon!" This Low-Rank Sky Sovereign said with a smile, "I am Supreme Sky Sovereign Leng You. Brother Crouching Dragon has just arrived in my City of Desirelessness, why don't you and I spar a bit; that way, we can also get a better understanding of your strength!"

Challenge me?

Xu Ming looked at Supreme Sky Sovereign Leng You as if he were looking at an idiot—a mere Low-Rank Sky Sovereign dared to challenge him? How ignorant could he be!

However… although the other party was ignorant, Xu Ming was too lazy to play with him.

"There's no need!" Xu Ming shook his head directly.

Immediately, Supreme Desirelessness, Supreme Sky Sovereign Leng You, and others looked at Xu Ming with even more disdain; they all thought that Xu Ming was too weak, so he didn't dare to accept the challenge. However, how could they have imagined—that Xu Ming wasn't too weak, but too strong!

However, Xu Ming had no interest in the treasures that Fang Ping would take out; he just wanted to have an identity so that he could walk around in the Thunder Annihilation Domain. Therefore, although he knew that Supreme Desirelessness was giving him a show of strength, he was too lazy to pay attention to it.

"Alright, let's do as you say!" Xu Ming said indifferently.

And Xu Ming's attitude, in the eyes of Supreme Desirelessness and others, was obviously that he was afraid; therefore, they looked down on Xu Ming even more.

"Good!" Supreme Desirelessness finalized the matter, with a hint of arrogance in his expression.

Then, Supreme Desirelessness looked at Fang Ping and said: "I have contacted several of my good friends, and they are all willing to come, there are two Mid-Rank Sky Sovereigns and seven Low-Rank Sky Sovereigns! Although your strength is not the strongest now; however, when they come, your strength will definitely be the strongest among your ten direct disciples!"

"So many experts?" Fang Ping couldn't hide the excitement in his eyes. With so many experts helping him, his chances of winning the assessment and becoming an Elder Candidate of the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion could be said to be a certainty! Once he became an Elder of the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion, his power and treasures would be far beyond what they were now.

…

Three months later.

The several good friends that Supreme Desirelessness mentioned had all arrived at the City of Desirelessness.

With the addition of these people, Fang Ping's forces, excluding Xu Ming, already had three Mid-Rank Sky Sovereigns and ten Low-Rank Sky Sovereigns!—Such a force was undoubtedly the strongest among the ten direct disciples participating in the assessment.

During this period, several more Low-Rank Sky Sovereigns challenged Xu Ming; however, Xu Ming did not accept any of them.

As a result, the dozen or so Sky Sovereigns in Fang Ping's forces became even more contemptuous of Xu Ming, the lone wolf, treating Xu Ming as the weakest type of Low-Rank Sky Sovereign. In their opinion, if Xu Ming hadn't been lucky enough to save Fang Ping's life, he wouldn't have been qualified to participate in this assessment at all.

Xu Ming didn't care—in the eyes of the current Xu Ming, these ordinary Mid-Rank Sky Sovereigns and Low-Rank Sky Sovereigns were no longer on the same level as him! Xu Ming wouldn't be bored enough to care about the views of these people.

Finally, the termination date of the assessment was approaching.

Xu Ming, Fang Ping, and all the Sky Sovereigns set off for the Thunder Annihilation Pavilion.
