Chapter 72: Monster Among Monsters
While eating, Li Ruoxi's face suddenly looked unwell. She put down her chopsticks and looked at Wang Ke with an expression of confusion, saying: "Today, Xu Jingkai that bastard came to our house, but I didn't let him in the door, and drove him away."
Wang Ke's eyebrows furrowed, and a flash of coldness flickered in his eyes.
He didn't think that Xu Jingkai, who had been hit repeatedly, would still be so 'thick-skinned', doesn't he fear that he would really ruin himself?
Made up her mind secretly, next time when she meets Xu Jingkai again, she must let him know who's boss.
"Don't worry! I guarantee this is the last time that Xu guy will harass you!"
Wang Ke smiled slightly and said.
Li Ruoxi's expression changed slightly, and she hastily said: "Wang Ke, don't be foolish, it's not worth sacrificing yourself for that trash!"
Wang Ke smiled slightly and said, "Of course I know it's not worth it for that piece of trash. Don't worry, nothing will happen to me. Since I want him to disappear from our sight forever, I can naturally do it without anyone noticing, even he himself won't realize it."
"Want to fight?"
A hint of curiosity flickered in Li Ruoxi's eyes.
Wang Ke smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this anymore! By the way, have you made up your mind to work in the antique and artifact worlds from now on?"
Li Ruoxi shook her head and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, let me think about it some more. However, you must study hard, if I really plan to make a living in the antique or artifact world in the future, I will need your help."
Wang Ke smiled slightly and didn't say another word on this topic.
The next day, in the afternoon, when Wang Ke walked to a place still tens of meters away from the gate of 'Xing' residence, he suddenly felt the spiritual energy fluctuations between the heaven and earth around him. His face originally had some strange expression, now looked even stranger, with a hint of expectation.
After walking into the residence, Wang Ke quickly came to Zhao Meng's side, with a respectful expression and said: "Zhao Lao, I had a breakthrough in my cultivation two days ago due to a coincidence, so today I have a special feeling. This feeling was vaguely present yesterday, but it is particularly clear today."
Zhao 'Men' Feng heard this and suddenly became interested, opening his mouth to ask: "What special feeling?"
Wang Ke said, "I found that my perception has increased several times, it's really strange. Originally, I could only sense the spiritual energy 'waves' within a range of ten square meters around me through divination. It was like when you said I could divine, and I entered the Xingyiquan store, I felt the spiritual energy 'waves' inside. But today, I was still tens of meters away from the entrance of Xingyiquan, and I already sensed the spiritual energy 'waves'."
He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Moreover, after I entered the antique market from the entrance of Dongdaemun, I stopped and sensed it more than a dozen times. Several times, I felt the fluctuations in the spiritual energy around me. I think the reason for these fluctuations is probably because there are magical artifacts in the shops on both sides of the street."
Zhao 'Men' Feng heard the words, his face full of shock, that old body suddenly stood up, quickly stepped out from behind the counter, stretched out his hand to grab Wang Ke's arm and pulled him away.
"Mr Zhao, what's this?"
Wang Ke followed Zhao Menfeng with a curious expression, his eyes filled with doubt as he asked.
Zhao said without turning his head: "I'll take you out for an experiment!"
There is considerable excitement in what he says.
Do experiments?
Wang Ke doubted and asked: "Don't experiments need equipment?"
Zhao's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he immediately let go of Wang Ke's wrist. He patted his own forehead with a smile: "Look at me, I'm getting old and confused. You're right, we need a tool for the experiment. Alright, you wait outside first, I'll go up and get one."
Having said that, he didn't wait for Wang Ke to respond and hastily headed towards his own residence.
Seeing Zhao Lao being more anxious than himself, Wang Ke couldn't help but smile.
A few minutes later, Zhao 'Men' Feng hurriedly walked out of the main gate of Zi 'Xing' Ju with a law enforcement instrument in his hand and quickly said: "Wang Ke, you forgot to walk twenty steps westward, then feel it again and see if you can perceive the fluctuations of spiritual energy."
Wang Ke nodded, took a big step towards the west and walked for about twenty meters before stopping in his tracks. He turned around to see Zhao 'Men' Feng place the artifact twenty meters away from him.
"How is it? Can you feel the 'wave' of spiritual energy?" Zhao Menfeng asked tensely.
Wang Ke slowly concentrated his mind, two minutes later, he shook his head with a bitter smile and said: "I can't feel it."
Zhao's face showed a hint of disappointment, but his eyes still held a glimmer of expectation. He said loudly: "Take three steps forward and try again!"
Wang Ke heard this and took three steps forward, then struck again with his 'Jing' divine power.
"Zhao Lao, I feel the spiritual energy 'wave' has moved! That's right, it's the spiritual energy 'wave'!"
Wang Ke's face showed joy and he said loudly.
Zhao nodded his head in satisfaction and laughed, saying: "Incredible, it's really incredible! I didn't expect that the improvement of your cultivation would make you progress so rapidly in terms of sensing aura. You know, an ordinary instrument master can't even sense 17 or 18 square meters without a year and a half of hard work, but you've achieved this in such a short period of time with ease! This is truly unbelievable!"
His old face was fully wrinkled, and with an excited tone, he said loudly: "Wang Ke, do you know that you have now reached the peak state of a master craftsman? If your perception can break through 20 meters, then you will become a yin-yang master, of course, also a yin-yang master who knows nothing about Feng Shui."
After saying this, he slowly raised his head, looked at the sky, and then lowered it, fixing his gaze on Wang Ke's face with a complex expression in his eyes. He muttered softly: "Monster, you are indeed a monster among monsters!"
The tone is full of emotion, and also carries expectation and admiration.
Since Wang Ke arrived at 'Xing' residence, he has been in a state of astonishment and admiration every day, astonished by Wang Ke's memory, admiring Wang Ke's conduct, but what shocked him the most was that Wang Ke actually learned to divine the weather on his own, and it was even more unbelievable that he broke through so quickly. What is this if not a freak among freaks? At least, I have never seen such a freak before.
I don't know how far he can go.
Old Zhao's heart was full of expectation.
Monster among monsters?
Wang Ke's face turned red with embarrassment, and he hastily walked to Zhao Menfeng's side, picked up the magical instrument from the ground, and smiled somewhat awkwardly: "Zhao, please don't praise me. I'm not afraid of anything, but I do fear being praised by others, because every time someone praises me, I get a feeling of floating on air."
Zhao 'Men' Feng suddenly lost his smile and looked at Wang Ke's eyes with a satisfied light, laughing and saying: "Let's go! We continue to class."
For the entire morning, Zhao 'Men' Feng was like in a dream. He had never thought that someone's memory could be so strong as to feel unbelievable. Originally, he thought he already knew Wang Ke's memory limit, but unexpectedly, this kid cheated him again. Today's memory and gift were even more abnormal than before. Moreover, due to the enhancement of his memory, Zhao 'Men' Feng was shocked to discover that Wang Ke's comprehension ability had also become much stronger. Every time, he would point out a key point, and Wang Ke could infer and understand related knowledge points.
He had planned to teach Wang Qi for three more days, but surprisingly, he learned and absorbed everything in just one short morning.
Taking advantage of Wang Ke's trip to the toilet, Zhao 'Men' Feng secretly wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, feeling lucky: Fortunately, he had something in his stomach, otherwise, relying on Wang Ke's learning and leadership abilities, which were probably terrible, he would soon have nothing to teach him.
"Starting tomorrow, I'll teach you about Feng Shui. After you go back, be sure to take a good look at the books I gave you. Although they mainly explain antiques and artifacts knowledge, within that knowledge, there are also Feng Shui knowledge points."
Before Wang Ke left after finishing his lecture, Zhao 'Men' Feng reminded him.
Wang Ke's face showed excitement, and he nodded without hesitation: "Old Zhao, I remember what you said. I will carefully read the books you gave me and try to find every point about Feng Shui knowledge."
Outside the door of his house, Gao Xinmin's face was filled with hesitation. He had been wandering around for nearly two hours, but he didn't dare to go in. He wanted to invite Zhao Mengfeng and Wang Ke to dinner, but he was afraid that Old Zhao and Wang Ke would not agree.
Just as it was about to be noon, he finally gritted his teeth and walked into the 'gate' of his 'home'.
"Old Zhao, Mr. Wang."
Gao Xinmin's face showed a hint of trepidation, but more so respect, as he approached Wang Ke and Zhao Menfeng.
Zhao's face showed a look of surprise, he felt that the person in front of him was somewhat familiar, but for a moment, he couldn't think of who it was. Wang Ke saw Gao Xinmin and recognized him at once, this middle-aged man was the worker who fell from a high place yesterday and was saved by himself. Some time ago, he also helped him, that is, in this self-cultivation residence, his injury was cured by his own true energy.
"Who are you?"
Zhao's expression was one of puzzlement.
Wang Ke, standing beside Zhao Men's body, immediately said in a low voice: "Master, didn't you remember that he came to Zixing Residence for treatment because of his work injury some time ago? At that time, you used the healing talisman."
Thanks to Wang Ke's reminder, Zhao 'Men' Feng suddenly remembered that the person in front of him was one of the injured people at that time.
A faint smile appeared on his face, Zhao Menfeng looked at Gao Xinmin and smiled: "Do you have something to say?"
Gao Xin hesitated for a moment before saying, "Old Zhao, Mr. Wang, I came today to invite you both to dinner as a way of thanking you for your help. I...I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here much longer! If I don't take the chance to treat you now and express my gratitude, I fear I'll never have another opportunity."
Zhao 'door' Feng doubt 'confused' way: "Why say so?"
"My luck is too bad, yesterday I was working on the construction site and accidentally fell from a height of over 20 meters. If it wasn't for a mysterious person who suddenly rushed over to catch me below, I would probably be dead by now. The foreman knew about this situation and said I'm a jinx, so he fired me on the spot and didn't even give me my wages. Now I have no job and nothing to do, so I want to wait for a few days before going back to ask the foreman if I can get my wages back. Once I get the money, I'll leave here and go back home to see my parents and wife and kids. It's been over half a year since I've been working outside and didn't even get to spend Chinese New Year at home, so I want to go see my loved ones."
The words are full of longing for a mysterious person and yearning to return home.
Falling from high altitude?
Caught by a mysterious person?
Zhao 'Men' Feng's eyes, in an instant fell on Wang Ke's body, with a hint of deep meaning deeply looked at Wang Ke, before turning his head to ask Gao Xinmin: "That mysterious person who saved you yesterday, how is he?"
When Zhao 'Men' Feng asked about this matter, Gao Xinmin smiled bitterly: "I don't know! Yesterday, after I fell from below, although I was caught by that kind person and landed on his body, I was also shaken dizzy and took a long time to get up from the ground. That kind person saved me, but before I came back to my senses, he left. He felt that after catching me, his arms were probably dislocated!"
He suddenly paused his speech at this point, and then continued: "There's one more thing, I'm afraid that benefactor was seriously injured because I found a bloodstain on the ground."
Zhao 'Men' Feng was stunned, his eyes fell on Wang Ke's head, and he already had an answer in his heart, an answer that shocked him a little.
This afternoon he pulled Wang Ke to finish the experiment, only to find that Wang Ke's head was injured. At that time, he asked a question, and Wang Ke was vague and didn't explain clearly.
Moreover, after the morning's interaction, he keenly sensed that Wang Ke's two arms had a problem, as if they couldn't exert any strength, and the symptoms seemed very much like those of a dislocated joint being put back in place.
