It was night.
Tokyo, Fenghe Family Courtyard.
After returning from fishing in Hokkaido, Zhang Wei and the others did not stay in Hokkaido. They returned after dinner.
At this moment.
Having just finished dinner, Zhang Wei did not go out to find ghosts. After fishing for half a day and playing with Yu Xiaoqi and the others for an afternoon, he decided not to go out to find ghosts today. He planned to rest in his room and pick up his phone to chat with Qiu Xiaolin and Lu Lianxue.
In the WeChat discussion group of the three:
[Lu Lianxue]: Zhang Wei, Captain Lin said you traded with the Wei Dao Division again today? Still six ghost king corpses?
[Zhang Wei]: Hehe, you're very well-informed.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Sakura Country is really miserable. First, it was hit by the Senluo Division, and now it's been bloodbathed by you. You guys should act like humans. You've almost killed all the ghosts in Sakura Country. Hahaha.jpg
[Zhang Wei]: It's okay, I've inquired. Sakura Country still has quite a few ghost kings. Currently, only those in Hokkaido have been wiped out by me.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: "Only"? Listen to what you're saying.
[Zhang Wei]: I've asked the Water Ghost King to contact the Wei Dao Division. He said one of the ghost king corpses inside can be exchanged for cultivation resources for you, Xiao Mantou.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Wow! Really! Hey, hey, why did you kill so few, Xiao Weizi? Only Hokkaido was wiped out by you. Why don't you go to Shikoku and kill some more? I heard that besides Shuten Doji, Shikoku has two other major demon forces. /
[Lu Lianxue]: Changing faces faster than flipping a book.jpg
[Zhang Wei]: I also exchanged another ghost king corpse for resources for you, Xiao Xue.
[Lu Lianxue]: Is it still too late for me to say "well done!" now?
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Xiao Weizi, don't just exchange resources for us. Get more for yourself too. When we get stronger, you should also get stronger quickly, don't let us surpass you, hehe.
[Zhang Wei]: That's impossible. I had a small realization today, and my strength has improved a bit.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Bragging. I'm in the industry, and I know that the stronger you are, the harder it is to improve. You're already so powerful, how much can a small improvement achieve?
[Zhang Wei]: Probably enough to fight with Grandpa Willow. Anyway, I'm not afraid.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: ???
[Lu Lianxue]: ???
As Zhang Wei sent his message, Lu Lianxue and Qiu Xiaolin were stunned. Although they were in different places, they showed the same expression.
[Lu Lianxue]: Zhang Wei, are you telling the truth? Don't lie to me. I'll take it seriously. Can you really fight Grandpa Willow? You should know Grandpa Willow's strength very well.
As someone from Longhu Mountain, working in the Wei Dao Division in Xiamen City, and having interacted with Grandpa Willow, Lu Lianxue knew Grandpa Willow's strength better than anyone. He was a half-step True Dragon Guard. It was precisely because of this strength that the Wei Dao Division of Fujian Province had no qualm about inviting Sheng Xuan back then.
A half-step True Dragon Guard, and a long-lived willow ghost, was enough to become the pillar of strength for Fujian Province and strengthen the Wei Dao Division of Fujian Province.
And with Grandpa Willow's situation.
Even.
In the future, with resource investment, he had great hope of being promoted to True Dragon Guard. At that time, Grandpa Willow would not only be the top combat power in Fujian Province but also a True Dragon Guard stationed in a province. This was not impossible. The True Dragon Guards of Great Xia had ghosts guarding them. With Grandpa Willow's seniority, he might be elected.
However.
Now Zhang Wei had reached Grandpa Willow's level? Lu Lianxue was amazed that he could go head-to-head with him. Even the novice Qiu Xiaolin, who had just entered the industry, realized the horror. Although she had never seen Grandpa Willow, Qiu Xiaolin had heard Lu Lianxue say that Grandpa Willow's strength was enough to become a terrifying existence who could contend for the thirty-four True Dragon Guard seats in the future.
[Zhang Wei]: I'm not lying to you. I've experienced Grandpa Willow's strength before. I feel that with my current strength, if I go all out, I can fight Grandpa Willow.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Xiao Weizi, this improvement of yours is not just a little bit. You're already a half-step True Dragon Guard, aren't you? Am I right? Xiao Xue, Xiao Weizi.
[Lu Lianxue]: Yes, if Zhang Wei can really fight Grandpa Willow, then he's a half-step True Dragon Guard. Oh my god, this... can I tell my grandpa and them about this?
[Qiu Xiaolin]: Oh, are you planning to show off your boyfriend in front of your family? Humph, I'm going to show off too, to Zhang Chao, Wu Nian, Ya Ya, Jun Fei, and the others.
[Zhang Wei]: Haha, okay.
Zhang Wei didn't mind. He didn't have the forbearance of Xiao Yan, who played the pig to eat the tiger. He wanted to do things high-profile and be a low-profile person. It was better to expose his strength, which would make his enemies more fearful and others more in awe. Then, others would not dare to easily harm his loved ones.
[Zhang Wei]: Don't just show off. Remember to improve more, otherwise, I'll leave you further behind. Improve more, after all, the holiday will end, and you'll have to go to the stolen country as exchange students. It's not peaceful there.
[Lu Lianxue]: I will improve double.
[Qiu Xiaolin]: +1
Afterward.
After chatting for a while longer, Zhang Wei ended the chat, thinking about the matters in the stolen country, and clicked on the Wei Dao Division forum, planning to see if there was any recent news from the stolen country.
...
At the same time.
Lu Lianxue proudly informed her family about Zhang Wei's promotion to half-step True Dragon Guard.
Then.
The news spread uncontrollably like a zombie virus, covering everyone like a tidal wave, "infecting" one person after another. Everyone who was "infected" showed a zombie-like dazed expression, their hearts were extremely shocked, and then they called to "infect" others.
In just one night.
Zhang Wei's promotion to half-step True Dragon Guard spread throughout the Wei Dao Division and various major forces in Great Xia.
It was also at this time.
On the Wei Dao Division forum, the famous forum user [Xiao Xuan] urgently updated a new round of the Potential Star Ranking tonight.
As soon as the post was published.
Everyone who had seen the post was stunned at first glance.
"Huh? Where's Zhang Wei?"
"Holy crap, the second place is Wu Nian? Did Zhang Wei get pushed down? Or did he jump to first place? That's not right, he's not first, and he's not third... Damn it, why isn't Zhang Wei on the ranking."
On the new [Potential Star Ranking], everyone found that Zhang Wei was not on the ranking and had been removed.
Upon learning of this situation.
Everyone was shocked. For a time, the comments below the post caused a storm of discussion. In less than ten minutes, there were thousands of comments, almost all of which were about Zhang Wei.
[Why isn't Zhang Wei on the list? This Xiao Xuan guy must have forgotten to rank Zhang Wei, haha.]
[Impossible, this Xiao Xuan guy is Zhang Wei's fan. How could he forget? Every time Zhang Wei improves, he's the first to fawn over him.]
[Then it's not that he forgot, why isn't he there? Could it be... Zhang Wei is dead? Only when one dies are they removed from the list.]
[Hiss! Zhang Wei is dead?! Is it true or not?]
[It must be that Zhang Wei is dead, otherwise, he wouldn't have been removed from the list. Who could have killed Zhang Wei? Is it the Senluo Division? Damn it, did the Senluo Division finally make a move against Zhang Wei?]
[What a pity. If Zhang Wei continued to grow, he would definitely have a chance to become a True Dragon Guard. It must have been the Senluo Division, after all, Zhang Wei's potential threat is too great.]
Just as everyone was discussing, and most of them believed that Zhang Wei was dead, otherwise, why would he not be on the list.
Soon.
After releasing the Potential Star Ranking, not long after, the famous forum user [Xiao Xuan] released another new post...
