The Demon Lord of the Outside World

With Xu Wang defeated by Xu Wenshuo, the first and second place in the Xu family competition were decided.

The third place was decided the next day, and it was undoubtedly another top-grade genius of the Xu family, Xu Yichen.

Then, within one day, the top 100 people were determined through the elimination match, and the Xu family competition was successfully concluded.

In the Xu family resource hall, Xu Sheng, the head of the Xu family, looked at Xu Wenshuo, Xu Wang, and Xu Yichen in front of him and nodded with satisfaction.

"You three performed very well. I won't say anything to praise you. I believe you also know your excellence."

Xu Sheng waved his hand slightly and handed the rewards of the competition to the three people.

"In addition to the 1,000 yuan stone, you can also choose a promotion goal later. The family Gu Master will help you upgrade your life Gu to the second level."

After the three thanked him, Xu Sheng left, and the three of them also chose their own promotion directions separately.

"Youngster, these are the upgrade routes that the pneumatic Gu can choose. Take a look for yourself."

A Gu Master with pale temples was responsible for helping Xu Wang upgrade. He handed a chart to Xu Wang and asked him to choose.

Xu Wang took a look and found that there were not many contents on the chart, but it was normal. Generally, the first-level Gu worms would not have too many upgrade directions. As the basic Gu worms of the Xu family, the pneumatic Gu had mostly practical upgrade directions, but there were also some rare upgrade directions.

For example, the gas explosion Gu used by Xu Hou in the previous competition was a rare upgrade route for the pneumatic Gu, and it was also a choice for this upgrade. If it was an ordinary Gu Master who upgraded, he might have to save up for a long time even for the consumption and loss.

"Have you chosen? Let me see? Hmm...?"

After seeing Xu Wang's choice, the Gu Master also looked at Xu Wang with some doubts.

"Are you... sure you want to choose this?"

"Good, can we start?"

"Well... ok, then let's get ready."

Three hours later, Xu Wang felt the Gu worm in his acupoint that had been promoted to the second level, nodded slightly, and then planned to return to his home.

However, at this moment, a figure blocked Xu Wang's way.

"Xu Wang, my great-grandson wants to see you, can you give me a favor and go?"

The man had a kind face and a slightly fat figure. He was the great-grandfather of Xu Wenshuo's lineage.

Before Xu Wang could answer, the other party put a hand on Xu Wang's shoulder. The next moment, Xu Wang felt that the scene in front of him was blurred in an instant, as if it was stretched into a line.

In just a few breaths, Xu Wang found himself on the second floor of a wine shop.

"Please come in. I forgot to introduce myself just now. I am Xu Wenshuo's great-grandfather, Xu Ziran."

……………………

In the private room of the wine shop, Xu Wang sat on a wooden chair. Xu Wenshuo was sitting next to him, and Xu Ziran was sitting in another corner.

"Good tea."

Xu Wang sipped the celadon teacup in his hand and nodded in praise.

"Haha, I didn't expect that young friend Xu Wang also knows tea?"

Xu Ziran squinted his eyes and spoke kindly, like an old man chatting with children in the park.

"I dare not say that I know tea, but I think this tea is very refreshing. I was a little nervous in front of you, the old man, but I am not so nervous after drinking it."

"Hahaha, it's my fault to bring you here so abruptly."

Xu Ziran laughed, and the wrinkles on his face trembled slightly.

"I wonder what you think of my great-grandson?"

The tone of the conversation suddenly changed, Xu Ziran opened his eyes slightly, and asked directly.

Xu Ziran knew that Xu Wang's words just now were pointing out that he had brought Xu Wang here without his consent. He also knew that this was a courtesy from the other party, and Xu Ziran should also respond politely.

But... is it necessary?

He, Xu Ziran, one of the absolute masters of the Xu family, a fourth-level peak Gu Master, facing a first-level peak Gu Master with no background, does it need to be polite?

No!

"Brother Wen Shuo is now recognized as the number one genius in the family. It seems unnecessary for the elder of the Ziran family to ask me, a loser who has just been defeated."

"Well... the answer is good... then I will ask you another question."

Xu Ziran picked up the teapot and took the initiative to add tea to Xu Wang's teacup.

"Are you willing to follow my great-grandson and help him consolidate my lineage's position in the Xu family in the future."

"…………"

The atmosphere was silent in an instant. Xu Ziran's words were too direct, leaving Xu Wang no possibility of playing Tai Chi.

"Great-grandfather, I...!"

"Wenshuo, sit down!"

Xu Wenshuo was about to stand up and speak, but he was scolded by Xu Ziran and sat down again just as his legs were straight.

"... Why is Ziran so anxious? My brother Wenshuo and I are only fifteen years old now, and our cultivation is only one turn. It's a bit too anxious to talk about the family status at this time."

Xu Wang was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"Too early? Maybe, but I think it's not bad to be early."

"Ziran, I talked to the clan leader a few days ago, and you were there. I want to kill more evil thieves to avenge my parents in the underworld. You also know it."

"I naturally know, but how many evil thieves do you plan to kill? How long do you plan to kill? When will you kill?"

Xu Ziran didn't care that Xu Wang just mentioned the clan leader, and just continued to talk.

"You are now at the peak of the first turn, and you will be able to attack the second turn soon. With your qualifications, how long will it take to advance to the third turn? One year? Two years? Or three years? If you said you wanted to kill the evil thieves for ten years, would you wait until you reach the peak of the third turn before asking you if you want to assist me?"

As Xu Ziran spoke, he opened his eyes and looked directly at Xu Wang with his turbid pupils.

"At that time, after your third turn, you will be qualified to be the head of a lineage, and if my great-grandson wants you to assist him, I'm afraid it will take some extra effort."

"Ziran, the old man, is too serious. Although Xu Wang wants to avenge his parents, he will not do so. The third turn is something I dare not hope for as a junior..."

"Okay, let's do the third turn!"

Without waiting for Xu Wang to finish speaking, Xu Ziran suddenly put the teacup on the table.

"I want you to promise that if you are promoted to the third level, you will mainly assist my great-grandson Xu Wenshuo. Before that, my lineage will provide you with enough resources for cultivation, and will also give you enough freedom to kill any evil thieves!"

"…………Since the elder is so sincere, Xu Wang naturally has no reason to refuse..."
