Thinking of the three spells in his head, Wang Lin's heart thumped. He followed the incantation for the Fireball and pinched his fingers with his right hand. Unfortunately, not even a spark appeared, much less a flame. After a long time, he frowned and tried again.
He tried again and again, but he failed every time. Only one time did a spark appear, but it disappeared immediately.
"Talent … it's talent again!"
Wang Lin laughed bitterly. He practiced the Earth Cracking Spell on the rock next to him. Although the effect was slightly better than the Fireball, he could not help but sigh when he saw the crack on the rock, which was not much thicker than his pinky finger. A spell like this could deceive mortals at the foot of the mountain, but it would be useless in a battle.
Finally, he practiced the Gravity Spell. The effect was still not satisfactory.
However, in terms of success rate, the Gravity Spell was slightly higher. Without another word, Wang Lin focused all his attention on the Gravity Spell. The so-called Gravity Spell was, to put it simply, the ability to control objects from a distance.
If one's agility was high and his Qi Condensation reached the second level, he could practice the Telekinesis Spell. When he broke through the third level and entered the fourth level, he could go to the Sword Spirit Pavilion to choose a flying sword.
After practicing for a long time, Wang Lin walked back before nightfall. He had reached the first level of Qi Condensation, and his eyes and ears were sharp. As he walked through the east gate, he passed by the Chores Office and heard a familiar voice.
"Senior Brother Liu, you arranged for me to chop firewood. You said that I would complete the task as long as I reached 100 pounds of firewood. Why did you increase it to 500 pounds?
I, Zhang Hu, am not a newbie, and I have been filial to you all these years. Are you really going to force me down the mountain before you stop? "" Zhang Hu, don't say that I'm making things difficult for you.
"Zhang Hu, don't say that I'm making things difficult for you. It's only a few months until the end of the year, and I'm not having a good time either. But not only are you not f * cking working hard, you're actually trying to make things difficult for me at this time, aren't you? I sent the firewood you chopped to the alchemy room and got scolded. I brought it back to take a look. You little bastard, you're really capable.
Zhang Hu angrily shouted, "Impossible, you're slandering me. Wasn't it because a few days ago Zhao Fugui gave you an immortal talisman and asked you to help him pick an easier job? How big of a deal is this? Which honorary disciple doesn't know what kind of person you are? Do you really have to force me to leave the Heng Yue Sect? You're too f * cking stupid. I'm not doing this anymore. I'll go talk to the elders!"
"Zhang Hu, you forced me to do this. If you want to blame something, you can only blame your bad luck for seeing something you shouldn't have seen. Today, you will stay behind!
If the elders find out about this, I will find people to exterminate your entire family. "
The cold voice of the youth named Liu came from inside the room, followed by Zhang Hu's scream. When Wang Lin heard this, he was shocked. He quickly rushed into the chore room and kicked open the door.
The youth named Liu's face was ferocious. He held a dagger and quickly stabbed at Zhang Hu, who was leaning against the wall with a terrified expression.
Seeing that it was too late to save Zhang Hu, Wang Lin immediately used the Attraction Technique. Luckily, it was successful this time. The Attraction Technique turned into an invisible hand that instantly bound the youth. At this time, the tip of the dagger had already cut into Zhang Hu's chest, causing blood to flow out.
The youth named Liu was shocked. His body felt as if it was being squeezed by an infinite force. He could no longer push the dagger forward.
Zhang Hu's face was pale and large beads of sweat continuously flowed out. He gratefully looked at Wang Lin and quickly crawled away.
The youth named Liu was stunned and immediately struggled with all his might. Wang Lin's forehead was covered in sweat, showing signs of losing control.
This was the first time he had used the Attraction Technique to bind a living person. Wang Lin clearly did not have the strength to do so. In addition, the other party was struggling, making it even more difficult to control. Wang Lin's body trembled slightly. Seeing that Zhang Hu was fine, he let out a sigh of relief.
Seeing that the other party was about to break free, Zhang Hu revealed a strange expression. He looked at Wang Lin, then looked at Senior Brother Liu. His face revealed a trace of ruthlessness. He quickly picked up the axe and walked in front of Senior Brother Liu.
Senior Brother Liu's eyes were filled with fear and he struggled even more violently. Zhang Hu clenched his teeth and muttered to himself, "A real man must be ruthless. Senior Brother Liu, you forced me to do this. Are you going to fucking exterminate my entire family?"
"Zhang Hu, what are you doing!" Wang Lin was startled. The Attraction Technique had lost its effect.
In the instant that the youth named Liu regained his mobility, Zhang Hu raised the axe and smashed it down on Senior Brother Liu's head. The sound was like a watermelon being smashed. Senior Brother Liu had no time to dodge. His body violently twitched a few times before he stopped moving.
The axe in Zhang Hu's hand fell to the ground with a clatter. He stared blankly at the bloody corpse at his feet with a complicated expression.
Wang Lin was stunned on the spot. This was the first time he had seen a bloody corpse. After a long time, he bitterly asked, "Zhang Hu, you …"
Zhang Hu raised his head and stared at Wang Lin. His facial features twisted and revealed a trace of malevolence. He said word by word, "Wang Lin, you saw it too. It wasn't that I wanted to kill him. If it wasn't for you, I, Zhang Hu, would have been killed by him!
All of this was because he forced me. He forced me! "
Wang Lin was silent. He didn't expect it to be like this.
Zhang Hu took a deep breath. His eyes revealed a determined expression. He walked over to the corpse and rummaged for a long time. He took out a gray cloth bag and opened it. Inside were hundreds of immortal talismans that honorary disciples used to visit their relatives. In addition to these, there was also a thread-bound book. Zhang Hu looked through it and put it away.
Then he looked around the room and finally found a secret compartment under the bed. He opened it and saw a piece of yellow paper.
After pondering for a while, he turned to look at Wang Lin and said, "Wang Lin, I, Zhang Hu, will remember today's kindness. I can't stay in the Heng Yue Sect anymore. Once the sect finds out that the youth named Liu is dead, they will definitely find me. I will take these things.
As for this immortal talisman, it must be a treasure. Otherwise, the youth named Liu wouldn't have wanted to kill me. Take it! "After he finished speaking, he handed the yellow paper to Wang Lin.
Wang Lin didn't take it. He sighed and bitterly smiled. "You … why did you do this? If you didn't kill him …"
Zhang Hu frowned and said, "Wang Lin, don't bring this up again. I've had enough of it these past few years. If you still consider me a friend, then take this immortal talisman!"
Wang Lin bitterly took it and didn't say anything.
"Wang Lin, I have to go. This has nothing to do with you. If the sect investigates, they will only find me. By then, I will have already left the Heng Yue Sect.
Hmph, the country of Zhao is big. I, Zhang Hu, don't believe that I will be an honorary disciple for the rest of my life! "Zhang Hu's expression was complicated. After a long time, he slowly turned around and left the room.
