Chapter 166: The Mysterious Wang Family
“This……”Four Generations Under One Roof said with a hint of self-mockery: “I can only say that many things are far from as simple as you think.”
“Alright.” Wu Xian didn’t ask further to avoid hurting the other’s self-esteem, “There’s another question. My Life-bound Scroll Painting has been at three Life Marks for some time, but it still hasn’t shown any sign of condensing the fourth Life Mark. Why is that?”
Four Generations Under One Roof: “The later the Life Marks, the harder they are to condense, and the requirements for the Destiny Divine Diagram become more stringent. Not being able to condense the fourth Life Mark just means the timing hasn’t arrived yet. Little Senior needn’t overthink it.”
Wu Xian understood. “Will the Divine Realm also affect the Life Marks?”
Four Generations Under One Roof: “It has some influence, but not much.”
“Alright, thank you for the trouble.”
“No need to be polite~,” Four Generations Under One Roof seemed somewhat worried: “Also, that Wang Family—Little Senior, remember not to clash with them head-on, or it will be very troublesome.”
Wu Xian acknowledged understanding and silently exited the forum.
“Wang Family?”
With doubt, he searched for the Wang Family under the Divine Beast Dojo, but found no such family—not even a single bit of information.
This was obviously not normal. After all, no matter how small a family was, there should be at least some information online.
He then messaged Master Sister to inquire and found that she had never heard of this family either.
It had a bit of the flavor of a “hidden family” from novels.
Generally speaking, the more mysterious such a family was, the less simple it was.
Fortunately, the Insectoid Otherworld situation was special. Everyone came from different places, just like he didn’t know which city the other was from, so naturally the other didn’t know which city he was from either.
……
Tianfeng Province, Dongfeng City, the provincial capital.
In a certain provincial top-tier club, the middle-aged Scroll Painter returning from the Insectoid Dimension had a ferocious expression, his frantic face revealing some irritability and unease, as if that Golden Scroll Collar was very important to him.
“Damn it, who the hell is that kid?!” the middle-aged Scroll Painter said hysterically: “Investigate, go investigate for me!”
“Yes, President. Subordinate will go investigate right away.”
The club subordinates were secretly alarmed, unable to understand why the President was so agitated.
Although a piece of appliance Golden Scroll had been snatched away, that Golden Scroll clearly wasn’t the President’s own work. Was there any need to care so much?
He had even used 【Luoshen】 in the end.
“Opponent’s several Painted Spirits were quite valiant, clearly not no-names.” A lackey beside him analyzed: “Do you think it might be a secret weapon secretly developed by another club?”
“No matter who the opponent is or what background they have, that Golden Scroll must be seized back for me no matter what!”
With that, he hurriedly returned to the depths of the President’s palace.
Soon after, he furtively connected to a strange communication device, his eyes full of worry.
……
Time passed in a flash for several days.
Ghost King Club’s new round of auditions had ended, and now the entire club was gradually getting on track—at least in all aspects, it looked like a proper club.
Vice President Zhou Qi was there, leading the new members to familiarize themselves with the environment and conducting some simple training.
The Contribution Points system on the Contribution Hall side was also gradually starting to operate.
During this time, he made a 【Laurel Tree】 rubbing for the Zhou Family, Wang Family, Tang Family, and Xue Family respectively, and used the remaining materials to add two more 【Laurel Tree】 Cultivation Pods for the club.
Now Wu Xian was gradually adapting to the role of Acting President, handling daily work in an orderly manner.
According to the development plan left by Master Sister before her seclusion, they still needed to open space passages to the three Dimensional Control Zones on the side hall later.
This way, club members wouldn’t have to run back and forth between the three Dimensional Ports in the future.
However, the cost of this space passage was truly outrageous.
To put it bluntly, the several veteran clubs in Yaoyang City still didn’t have this thing. After all, they were just local small clubs themselves and had no intention of developing further upward.
In short, it was “no ambition to advance,” no ability to advance, and the Dojo above didn’t need them to advance either.
But Ghost King Club was different.
Their Ghost King Club was bound to break out of Yaoyang City in the future and head to higher and greater stages.
Additionally, the club space passage couldn’t be built casually. They first needed to promote to Silver Tier League, then apply to the Provincial Alliance. After approval, alliance staff and professional personnel from the Scroll Painter Association would personally come to open and connect it.
After all, the Dimensional Space Passage directly involved the safety of the entire city and had extremely high technical content itself.
Now, Ghost King Club’s battlefield points had accumulated almost enough, and they were preparing related matters for advancing into the Silver Tier League.
And according to league rules, as long as they advanced to Silver Tier Club, they could actually send players to participate in the Gold Tier Challenge, competing for and certifying Gold Tier League Players.
When the club had a certain number of Gold Tier Players, they could embark on the certification path for Gold Tier Club.
Wu Xian wasn’t interested in the Silver Tier League and only wanted to participate in the Gold Tier Challenge as soon as possible.
The competition pressure in Yaoyang City was very small—or rather, no competition pressure at all—so promoting to Silver Tier Club was no difficulty for them.
It was just the recent appearance of Bai Shiqi and Zhao Qinghe that brought a bit of trouble.
In the past few days, while Wu Xian was working overtime to rush orders, he was also successively upgrading Silver Scrolls for the initial members.
In the subsequent Silver Tier Promotion Match, Bai Shiqi and Zhao Qinghe would inevitably disgust them a bit, so they needed to prepare as thoroughly as possible to ensure nothing went wrong.
Seeing the Promotion Match drawing closer, Wu Xian called Master Sister.
“Hello~ Master Sister, the Promotion Match is almost here. Aren’t you coming out of seclusion yet?”
“Don’t rush~ I’m on my way.” Xue Lingling said cheerfully: “And there’s a big surprise too~!”
“Surprise? What surprise?”
“You’ll know in a bit.” Xue Lingling pretended to be mysterious.
Soon after, Master Sister, who had been in seclusion for several days, returned riding a coffin board, with a handsome young man in his twenties, neat and dignified in appearance, by her side.
The moment he clearly saw the handsome young man’s appearance, Wu Xian was both shocked and suspicious.
“Xue Second Brother?!”
That’s right. The one who came to the club with Xue Lingling at this moment was none other than Xue Zhengying.
But that wasn’t the point. The point was that the Insectoid Race aura on Xue Zhengying had completely dissipated—at least from the aura, he was no different from a normal Spirit Tamer.
“Little Wu Vice President, hello~!”
Xue Zhengying still maintained the youthful mindset from eighteen years ago, flashing him a sunny and cheerful grin.
“No way… you…?!” Wu Xian shockingly went forward to greet him. “How did you do it?”
Xue Zhengying and Xue Lingling exchanged a glance and sighed gratefully: “Speaking of which, I have to thank your 【Sun Star Lord】 instance. Otherwise, I couldn’t have suppressed the Insectoid Race power in my body so quickly.”
Hearing this, Wu Xian was greatly shocked: “Ah? You ate my Sun Star Lord?”
“……” Xue Lingling said irritably: “What are you thinking? Is my second brother that kind of person?”
Xue Zhengying immediately explained: “Originally, I just wanted to borrow the Sun Star Lord’s power to try suppressing it. Who would have thought that while suppressing, soul resonance happened. From the moment of soul resonance, the Insectoid Race power in my body could basically be controlled at will.”
“Soul Resonance?” Wu Xian listened in a daze.
Come on~ that was soul resonance!
Very difficult, okay.
So far in the club, only Zhang Zihao had achieved soul resonance with Ox Head Yin Marshal.
“Tch~ don’t you know who my second brother is?” Xue Lingling’s eyes were full of pride.
“Mm,” Xue Zhengying smiled calmly, as if it was just a very ordinary thing. “I can only say that my heaven-defying spirituality from back then didn’t disappear. It’s a blessing in misfortune.”
