I only have passive skills, so I'm extremely cautious

"Fellow Daoist, I was wrong before," the little sword saint Jinhua bowed to Chen Zhong on the sword arena in front of all the disciples, "I have benefited a lot from you."

Chen Zhong stood on the opposite side helplessly. This Jin Fengzhi was really crazy. Before he could react, he ordered Ge Si to gather and brought up Jinhua who was in seclusion.

Jinhua was at a loss, but due to the majesty of his grandfather, he had to apologize. How to say it, he didn't have much grudge in his heart. After all, he was really convinced by Chen Zhong last time.

Moreover, since returning to the pavilion, he has been thinking over and over again about what Chen Zhong said, and he feels more and more that he has lived in vain for more than ten years. It is really a waste of youth to be like a big idiot.

But he couldn't let go of his face and take the initiative to find Chen Zhong. Look, Jin Fengzhi is worthy of being a real grandfather, and he accidentally fulfilled his grandson's wish.

"You're exaggerating. It's not that exaggerated." Chen Zhong waved his hand and smiled casually.

He turned his head and whispered to Jin Fengzhi, "Old senior, there's no need to make such a big fuss."

"It's necessary. I'll take this opportunity to suppress my grandson's arrogance!" Jin Fengzhi answered without realizing it.

However, what surprised Chen Zhong was the reaction of the disciples below the stage...

It stands to reason that Jinhua, the grandson of the former Pavilion Master, the most promising demon in the Pavilion, and the so-called Little Sword Saint, was so humble. Shouldn't their followers be furious?

Why, they all seem to be very happy?

Including the elders, they all look relieved?

Ah this.

Good guy, how bad is Jinhua's popularity in the sect.

However, his bad temper is really out of place in the Sword Dao Pavilion that adheres to chivalry and freedom. No wonder he is not well-liked in private.

Jinhua also saw it. At this moment, he deeply realized his mistake, so he was even more grateful to Chen Zhong for letting him face reality earlier and recognize himself.

In addition to secretly enjoying himself, the audience was also extremely curious about Chen Zhong.

The white-clothed disciples whispered to each other, and their eyes hinted, all of which were expressing their doubts about Chen Zhong.

"The old sword saint brought him back personally. I heard that he was the one who made the little sword saint suffer a big loss last time!"

"So it was him, no wonder... Eh, that's not right, if he cut off the little sword saint's hand, why would the old sword saint be so kind to him?"

"I don't know about that, maybe he has some big background?"

Several respected elders gathered together to gossip crazily.

At this time, the current Pavilion Master Ge Si spoke, "Chen Zhong should have a close relationship with Tianyan Hall. I heard that Ni Hengxiu came forward for him a few hours ago and even fought with my master."

The elders were surprised and didn't expect that this unprepossessing boy had such a deep background.

Ge Si's disciple Xiao Lihua asked, "Master, who won in the end?"

Ge Si was silent and said faintly, "The battle lasted no more than five minutes. My master used dozens of moves, while Ni Hengxiu only used one move."

Hearing this, the elders all knew the result.

Only the simple-minded Xiao Lihua kept asking, "Who won in the end?"

"Ni Hengxiu defeated your master in one move." Ge Si sighed helplessly.

The faces of the nearby disciples froze, unbelievable.

In their hearts, the old swordsman who caused the world to shake when he came out of retreat a few days ago was the real ceiling. One sword shook the sky, and two swords collapsed the mountains and rivers. How overwhelming was the momentum.

One move?

How is it possible?

Ge Si shook his head, "Am I lying to you? Ni Hengxiu's strength is beyond our imagination. Even if all the Grandmasters in the Lower Realm join forces, they may not be able to match him."

Xiao Lihua, who was in her teens, patted her chest that was rising and falling in surprise, "Senior Ni Hengxiu is so powerful, why doesn't he go to the Upper Realm?"

"He is in public office, and his duty is given by the Upper Realm to guard the demon cave in the Lower Realm. He is the ultimate guardian of the Lower Realm." Ge Si said with great admiration, "Remember, don't point the sword in your hand at a hero who cares about the world, because that is an insult to you."

Then, the topic suddenly returned to Chen Zhong.

"Who is this Chen Zhong?" Xiao Lihua blinked her round eyes.

All the disciples had the same expression as her.

"I don't know either, but this young man... is very dangerous, don't mess with him." Ge Si whispered solemnly.

Jin Fengzhi coughed a few times, "Okay, everyone go away. I guess Jinhua won't be as rebellious as before. I still hope that everyone will accept him a little. By the way, I am here to apologize to my ancestors. I have made many mistakes because of my bad temper and brought shame to Jiandao Pavilion. I promise that I will listen to my disciple more in the future and not be impulsive or stupid!"

Ge Si, "..."

How dare I, a disciple, give you orders.

The farce of the apology ceremony ended, and Chen Zhong was taken to the secret room of Jiandao Pavilion by Jin Fengzhi, saying that he wanted to make amends to him. Chen Zhong wanted to refuse, after all, he didn't like to owe favors.

But when he learned that it was a spiritual weapon that could save his life, he immediately changed his mind.

"Thank you for the gift, senior."

Three life-saving swords that can resist the Grandmaster level, carved from jade, palm-sized but extremely delicate.

It cannot be considered a regular spiritual weapon. It is Jin Fengzhi who forcibly sealed the spiritual power in a semi-spiritual weapon container.

Next, Jin Hua took Chen Zhong to stroll around the Sword Dao Pavilion and explained to him the purpose and sword meaning of the Sword Dao Pavilion.

Chen Zhong stayed here for a few days and got to know some outstanding disciples. He became friends with them, especially the female disciple of Ge Si.

She reached the second level of the minor success realm at a young age. If she were in the academy, she would only be a sophomore. Such an achievement is a demon.

It happened that this girl was good at sword formation. After learning that Chen Zhong had profound attainments in spiritual formation, she exchanged experiences with Chen Zhong. Under Chen Zhong's guidance, she practiced a unique spiritual formation sword formation.

From the sword formation, Chen Zhong also understood different ways and applied them.

In addition to the fact that Xiao Lihua herself is worthy of training, her master Ge Si is also worth winning over.

He is actually only in his forties at the seventh level of the Grandmaster Realm. He is particularly outstanding among a group of old men in the Grandmaster Realm. In addition, he is upright, knows how to do things in moderation, and knows the depth of things, so he is worthy of deep friendship.

Finally, except for the sword tomb where the tablets of past dynasties were stored, Chen Zhong had a general understanding of other places, including the layout of Xiao Lihua's boudoir. Of course, he was just simply discussing the sword formation.

"Brother Chen Zhong, see you later!" Xiao Lihua waved her arms reluctantly.

"Everyone, see you later." Chen Zhong clasped his fists and got on the helicopter of the Sword Dao Pavilion.

Looking at the propeller going away, everyone felt lost.

"Chen Zhong is so kind that he left us gifts." An elder sighed sincerely.

In each of them, there were more or less a few to a dozen talismans as identification gifts.

...

The quiet years of sophomore year began, and Chen Zhong also calmed down and stopped making trouble outside.

In fact, he was worried that too many previous events would lead to a lot of changes, so he was at ease in the college to avoid disasters.

At the same time, he was no longer satisfied with the mere power of the college for Shangshanmen. He secretly selected locations, secretly built a network of relationships, and secretly developed and accumulated.

The rapid progress was all due to his accumulation over the past few years, but even though he was already low-key enough, Chen Zhong still pursued stability.

The members of Shangshanmen were students who came out of Tianyan College. He gave those suitable old students a choice, and 80% of them chose Shangshanmen, a new force.

In November, Shangshan Online Store launched the Double Eleven event at the suggestion of Chen Zhong, which promoted the thunderous development of the entire online shopping industry in one fell swoop.

With this opportunity, the cleaning talismans, cooling talismans, heating talismans, analgesic talismans and other strange talismans from Shangshan Online Store entered every household, popularizing the adaptation rate of talismans.

According to the quality and effect of the talismans, models suitable for families of different classes were divided, and low-priced talismans gradually became popular, and talismans were no longer exclusive luxury goods for the rich.

Of course, these inevitably impacted the interests of some people.

However, with Chen Zhong's current relationship chain, who can move him in the Chiyan Empire except the royal family? In fact, if it really comes to play, the royal family is not enough, and Ni Hengxiu is enough to make everyone stay away.

If you look at it from the lower world, he is still the dark emperor, the big boss behind the scenes!

In this way, Chen Zhong is obsessed with cultivation, refining talismans, refining corpses, taming spirit beasts, accumulating trump cards...

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Zhong became a junior.

He also officially ranked first on the monster list. Although no one has seen him really take action, from a comprehensive analysis of various battle clips, Chen Zhong can rely on spirit talismans to suppress anyone in the same realm.

In short - rich people are overwhelming!

The surface level of Chen Zhong, a junior, is the first level of the small success realm, which is in line with the identity of getting the ancient inheritance. He is also a very powerful genius in Tianyan College.

As for the actual level - the first level of the soul quenching realm!

He just broke through not long ago and has not yet found a suitable demon soul, but Chen Zhong has already felt the new world.

The main progress is the power of the soul, which has derived true spiritual consciousness. When a person stands still, the soul leaves the body and can spy on everything within dozens of meters around.

Whether one can see through and see more hidden things is related to the individual's soul power.

Chen Zhong's soul sea also expanded several times after the breakthrough, reaching a terrifying area that made Chen Zhong himself feel cold behind his back.

He became more and more worried that his secret might bring disaster.

Yuan Wusha naturally graduated.

He rejected the invitations of major forces to win over, and resolutely joined Shangshanmen, becoming the backbone of Shangshanmen, replacing Chen Zhong to lead the old students in activities outside.

The companions around him also made rapid progress and gradually occupied the list of monsters.

Among them, Jia Shuangshuang was the most outstanding. She was just 18 years old and was already at the peak of the blood surge realm, only one step away from the small success realm.

And what about Daju?

As the most intelligent cat in Tianyan, it has undoubtedly entered the category of fifth-level spirit beasts.

After it became a fifth-level spirit beast, Chen Zhong immediately used it as a tool cat and took it to conquer the entire Linglong Mountains, conquering all the spirit beasts in this mountain range that spanned half of the Chiyan Empire.

The result of this action was that tens of thousands of beast-controlling talismans were used up at once, and Chen Zhong quietly had an unknown spirit beast army.

Among them, there were three fifth-level spirit beasts!

Daju was really powerful. These three spirit beasts were just babies in front of it. After all, the fat cat had tonnage, speed, damage, and spells. Daju was simply invincible.

Of course, the college organized many unified outings for training, and Chen Zhong did not fall behind. Each time he would fall behind after arriving at the destination, enter nearby cities and traffic arteries, arrange spiritual formations at more important positions, and then move countless spiritual formations The hubs are linked together to form a spiritual array network covering the entire empire!

This is called being prepared. Chen Zhong had a premonition that a catastrophe was coming, so it would not be too much to make a little preparation.

It's been a few weeks since junior year started.

…

One morning, Jia Shuangshuang's bedroom.

Ulan was away last night because someone took her place.

The early morning sunlight shines on the rising and falling bedding, and the wanton sound is perfectly blocked by the sound insulation array.

The powerful and continuous impact caused the floor to make an alarming crunching sound. Daju beside him had to jump off the corner of the bed and went to eat the cat food alone.

The battle has lasted all night and is about to end.

"Get ready, the hundredth basic attack is coming again!" Chen Zhong said with a smile.

Beep!

Trigger passive.

Bang!

Ten times the critical damage.

The floor collapsed by several centimeters.

What followed was a shrill scream and a huge waterfall.

"ah--"

Water spiritual energy filled the house, and even the walls were soaked with water stains.

Suddenly, countless water droplets burst open, releasing the enveloping warmth.

Outside the window, a drop of white dewdrops fell on the middle of the flower bud below. Under the blow, the tender flower bud contracted and burst out with a graceful luster.

"Fill...full..."

Jia Shuangshuang was weak.

"call!"

Chen Zhong stood up, stretched out comfortably, and burned something with the burning charm.

"The things from Fatty Wang's house won't poke a needle."

When he looked again, Jia Shuangshuang had fallen asleep from exhaustion, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

After tidying up, he picked up Da Ju and jumped out of the window.

In a single room in the public toilet of the girls' dormitory.

Ulan collapsed on the ground, and there was surveillance footage on her phone.

She stayed in the library all night, thinking that the two of them would be finished early in the morning, but she was worried, so she turned on the surveillance installed by Jia Shuangshuang to take a look, just in case there would be an embarrassing scene when she entered.

Who knew, the surveillance revealed that she had suffered a critical blow, not only mentally, but also physically.

Beside her legs where she was sitting, there was water left by the dormitory aunt mopping the floor or something indescribable.

…

"Ah?" Chen Zhong was surprised, "What did you say you wanted to do?"

Ni Hengxiu, who was opposite, smiled and said, "It shouldn't be embarrassing for you to become my disciple, right? I don't even have a disciple. If you become one, you will be Tianyan's real senior brother."

Chen Zhong frowned and thought, unable to think of what to say.

Ni Hengxiu patted him on the shoulder, "I have considered everything you have considered. I can only say that it is all beneficial and harmless. Moreover, I feel that something is wrong in the Demon Cave recently. It seems that some big guys are not at ease inside. You and I have a relationship." The relationship between master and disciple provides an extra level of security.”

"I'll think about it," Chen Zhong replied.

A few days later.

Tianyan Hall, located in Zhongyue Tianshan Mountain, welcomed a new guest.

Tianyan Hall, the most powerful force in the lower realm, has a total of 1,235 members. Starting today, there will be one more member.

Chen Zhong remained a junior student and became Ni Hengxiu's only apprentice.

Because Ni Hengxiu is the master of the palace, Chen Zhong's status has increased.

"See you, senior brother!"

Your Highness, thousands of disciples shouted respectfully.
