Chapter 1: Zhang Family's Sickly Child

  New book needs everyone's support, those who have votes, all vote for me, although I can't beat those cheaters, but I shouldn't be dragged too far by them.

  Zhang Cheng's offensive was extremely fierce, not giving Xiang Tian any chance to turn the tables, and his goal was to completely annihilate him. Because he knew that keeping someone like this by his side was no different from having a time bomb.

  However, Xiang Tian escaped and unexpectedly returned to the ring again, which made Zhang Cheng hesitate and wonder if he should continue to pursue and kill.

  In his heart, he must kill Xiang Tian, only then can he achieve the goal of eliminating future troubles.

  But he didn't know what was going on inside the ring, while Xiang Tian had lived in it for hundreds of years, so naturally he knew more about it than himself. So, he was afraid that Xiang Tian might have set a trap inside and stopped moving forward.

  "Hey kid, don't push people too far! Do you really think I'm helpless against you?" Xiang Tian secretly let out a sigh of relief as he saw Zhang Cheng stop in his tracks. At this moment, the ring had already recognized Zhang as its master, and he was just an outsider. If he followed him in, he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

  Now, he can see that Zhang Cheng seems to be unaware of this or hasn't realized it yet. Instead, he appears to have an inexplicable fear of this place. So, he took advantage of this and started making a show of himself.

  "Alright, come out and let's see what you've got to deal with me." Zhang Cheng shouted at the ring.

  "Why should I go out? If you have the ability, come in! I'll tell you, I've been operating here for hundreds of years. As long as you come in, I can kill you immediately. Come on, come in!" Xiang Tian started releasing smoke bombs at Zhang Cheng, making him dare not to make any rash moves, so he wouldn't be in danger for the time being.

  "I won't go in, but you can't come out either. I think that with your current soul strength, you won't be able to hold on for much longer! I'd like to see who dies first, you or me!" Zhang Cheng naturally wouldn't fall for his trick and sat down right there, as if he was going to exhaust Xiang Tian.

  "..." After hearing Zhang Cheng's words, Xiang Tian furrowed his brow.

  His soul now has a large part of its power being absorbed by Zhang Cheng, and its intensity is even weaker than before, and it can't last for much longer.

  If it really goes on like this, then he will be the first to run out of steam.

  So, Xiang Tian couldn't let things happen like this, and with a smile, he said: "Young one, actually I was just joking with you earlier, I didn't really want your body..."

  "Are you kidding me?" Zhang Cheng snorted and said, "Do you think I'm a fool? What's a joke and what's not a joke, I can still tell them apart. If it wasn't for my secret technique, I would have fallen for your trick just now. So, don't try to play any more tricks on me. No matter what you say, I won't believe you again."

  "Good grief!" Xiang Tian was speechless for a moment. Indeed, the reason he had thought of earlier wasn't very convincing, no wonder Zhang Cheng didn't believe it.

  However, he had been struggling to survive for so many years and died like this. He was somewhat unwilling, so his eyes rolled around and a plan emerged in his mind: "Young man, can you really bear to kill me? You should know that I am a monk from 400-500 years ago, with a wealth of advanced skills and secret techniques stored in my brain. If you can get my help, your future achievements will be absolutely great..."

  "Get to the point!" Zhang Cheng said impatiently after listening to him ramble on for half a day, but he was actually very interested in what Xiang Tian had to say.

  Before that, he heard Dan Chenzi mention something about the Xiu Zhen realm. He knew that the techniques in the Xiu Zhen realm were divided into grades. This old man said he was an old ghost from 400-500 years ago. It's possible that he has a technique of Xian or even Shen level on his body. If so, then he would be very powerful.

  Moreover, with an experienced master by his side to guide him at all times, he can avoid many detours. To say that he is not moved by this is impossible.

  "Alright, alright!" Xiang Tian saw that Zhang Cheng was interested and felt a sense of relief in his heart. He immediately smiled and said: "As long as you don't kill me and give me some spiritual energy to sustain my life from time to time, I'll tell you all the martial arts techniques I know and guide your cultivation. What do you think?"

  "Haha, I think you're not trying to maintain life, but rather waiting for an opportunity to poison me, right!" Zhang Chengke wasn't stupid, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to get into Tsinghua University in Beijing. He could hear that Xiang Tian's words sounded tempting at first, but actually hid malicious intentions.

  If he really agreed with him, Zhang Cheng can be sure that when he encounters danger, he will definitely take action against himself at the first time.

  So he really wanted to get those skills from Xiang Tian's hands, but compared to his life, these could be completely ignored.

  After all, he has gone through so much hardship to survive until now, and he cherishes his life more than anyone else.

  "......" Xiang Tian was stunned, and he didn't expect Zhang Cheng to think of this point. After all, in his eyes, Zhang Cheng was just an eleven or twelve-year-old kid, how did he know so much.

  As long as you give him some benefits, he will be fooled by himself and then you can take him down when the opportunity arises.

  However, he underestimated Zhang Cheng's IQ. Of course, he did not expect that this little kid had the soul of an adult in his body, otherwise, he would not have made such a low-level mistake.

  "How could I, I wouldn't dare to lay a hand on you, besides, you have that mysterious technique at your disposal, even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have the ability!" Xiang Tian thought for a moment before responding.

  "This excuse might work on a kid, but don't try to fool me! Zhang Cheng shook his head and said: "However, I'm not entirely unwilling to spare your life. But the prerequisite is that you must give me a reason that makes me 100% believe in you."

  "At this moment, Xiang Tian couldn't quite see through Zhang Cheng."

  Because he felt that the person in front of him was not an eleven or twelve-year-old kid, but a seasoned veteran like himself with many experiences, doing things flawlessly without leaving any loopholes for him.

  "Then tell me, what can I do to make you believe me one hundred percent?" Xiang Tian knew that he couldn't deceive Zhang Cheng anymore, so in order to save his life, he could only temporarily compromise.

  "Is there a way for me to become your master, where my orders must be executed unconditionally, and as long as you have any unusual movements, I can detect them, so that I can completely feel at ease letting you live?" Zhang Cheng said.

  "No way, no way, how can there be such a method? Who told you that, haha!" Xiang Tian's heart skipped a beat when he heard Zhang Cheng's words and quickly laughed it off.

  This method is not impossible, as far as he knows, signing a master-slave contract can achieve this.

  But for him to sign a master-slave contract with a little kid, that's just impossible, because it's simply humiliating for him.

  Moreover, once a master-slave contract is signed, one must obey all the orders of the master, even if the master tells him to commit suicide.

  Moreover, after signing a master-slave contract, once the master dies, the slave will also be buried with him.

  The most tragic thing is that once this contract is signed, unless the master actively gives up, it is impossible to unilaterally cancel this contract.

  In other words, this master-slave contract is equivalent to a life-long sale, once signed, everything of yours will no longer belong only to yourself, but also to your master, and even your master has more right to decide than you do.

  So this is a completely unequal treaty, and no monk would want to sign such a contract, let alone Xiang Tian who values his face more than his life.

  "Is it...?"
