Chapter Eighty-two: Zhou Qing Shan

  Wang Shi spent a few quiet days at the Ling family's home, teaching Ling Yu Xi practical combat skills. The days passed leisurely, and the people of the Zhou family also warmly invited him to visit their home, which Wang Shi gladly accepted.

  Zhou Family Hall

  Zhou Xuanming and Zhou Yufeng sat in the middle of the main hall, looking at Wang Shi with some approval in their eyes.

  Wang Shi laughed and said: "Uncle, it's been several months since we last met, you're getting more and more robust."

  "You little brat's mouth is getting more and more glib, been corrupted by those six little rascals' bad habits?"

  Wang Shi smiled and said, "Eldest Uncle, is this the Clan Leader?" Wang Shi looked at the handsome middle-aged man, whose faint smile seemed to emanate an air of majesty.

  This man is the father of Zhou Hong's little fatty, and Zhou Li's father is Zhou Xuanming. It can be said that Zhou Li and Zhou Hong are the most core members among the third-generation descendants of the Zhou family, while Zhou Chen, Zhou Kai, and others are all descendants of high-ranking officials in the Zhou family. For example, Zhou Kai is the grandson of the financial elder, and Zhou Chen's and Zhou Xuan's grandfather was the elder of punishment. Zhou Qian's father was the leader of the Zhou family's imperial guard, a great general of the Zhou family! Zhou Xinquan's father was the strategic elder of the Zhou family.

  It can be said that these six little guys all have a terrible backing!

  Zhou Yufeng looked at Wang Shi and nodded slightly, "I heard you and Ling Yu Xi are going to participate in the family baptism?"

  Wang Shi nodded and said, "I don't know if it's possible."

  "I also know about the Ling family's situation. The Ling family is under our Zhou family's protection, and the Li family won't dare to cause any trouble." Zhou Yufeng said calmly.

  Wang Shi let out a sigh of relief and said: "Thank you, Chief."

  "Heh, no matter, back to the topic, there are ten baptism quotas, and one is still vacant. Ling Yu Xi meets the standards and can replace it, but I heard from Zhou Li that you want to grab Zhou Qing Shan's quota?" Zhou Yu Feng looked at Wang Shi with some surprise and curiosity.

  After all, Wang Shi had only opened up the seventh layer of the Wilderness Realm, while Zhou Qing Shan had already opened up the ninth layer! The gap between them was insurmountable no matter what. How could Wang Shi possibly achieve this? Zhou Yu Feng was extremely skeptical, and he had never personally witnessed Wang Shi's abilities, having only been told by Zhou Xuan Ming.

  Zhou Xuan Ming also gave a thumbs up and said: "Kid, Zhou Qing Shan is not easy to deal with, but your uncle still supports you!"

  Wang Shi was stunned, and only then did he react, realizing that he had been deceived by Zhou Li! Wang Shi vaguely knew that the baptismal qualification could be taken away from anyone, as long as they were defeated! And Zhou Li obviously wanted to see Wang Shi's true strength, so he deliberately set up this trick!

  "Let's go with Zhou Qing Shan." Wang Shi said after a moment of contemplation.

  "Oh? Are you sure?" Zhou Yufeng's deep eyes gazed at Wang Shi, as if trying to see where the young man's courage came from.

  Wang Shi nodded.

  "Haha, really good appetite, you're just right for my taste!" Zhou Xuanming praised with a clear voice.

  "Go to Qingcang City Square." Zhou Yufeng said and stood up.

  "What square?"

  Zhou Yufeng nodded and said, "The baptism in Qingcheng City is also a grand event. Only four places are left for the smaller families below, and they will be challenged by many young people until no one challenges them. Zhou Qingshan took up one of them, so there are only three places left."

  Wang Shi furrowed his brow and said, "So to say, Ling Yu Xi will also have to accept the challenge?" Wang Shi thought of that delicate woman, could she defeat the challenger?

  Zhou Yufeng smiled and said: "In that case, it doesn't matter. After all, this is the baptism of our Zhou family, and we can also set a target for ourselves."

  "Thanks, Chief." Wang said with a sigh of relief.

  ……

  Above the Azure City Square

  A figure stood in the square, a sword in hand emitting a chilling aura, causing everyone to retreat. The person was a youth, around seventeen or eighteen years old, with an expressionless face and a somewhat dull demeanor. His skin was clean, his features regular, and if not for the sword in his hand, many people would have thought him to be a simple-minded child.

  But everyone looked at him with some fear.

  "Zhou Qing Shan! How did he come back? Didn't he go out for a trial?"

  "I heard he's back this time for a baptism and also for the Five Ancestors' Grand Ceremony in less than a year!"

  "This person already has the strength of the 9th layer of the Opening Boundary, and in the Zhou family is also second only to Zhou Li!"

  "Zhou Qing Shan, what a distant name it is! It's been over a year since he last came back, hasn't it?"

  "Still a dull gaze, but the sword in his hand is getting more and more ruthless, don't know how much blood has been spilled."

  ……..

  "But what is he doing here? Will anyone come to challenge him?" Everyone was somewhat puzzled, the Qingcang City Square was a place where young people challenged and honed each other. Zhou Qingshan, really, who dares to challenge him? Even if it's someone from the Li family, they wouldn't be so foolish as to pick a fight with someone stronger than themselves.

  Zhou Qing Shan Tian Fu

  Not long after, a young man walked out amidst the noise, somewhat tall and slender, with flowing hair, heading towards the center of the square.

  "Who is this? Just cleared the seventh layer of the Wilderness Domain, kidding me? Are you here looking for a beating?"

  "Huh? Isn't that Wang Shi, the big boss of those six evil little rascals? So it's him who's come to challenge Zhou Qing Shan!"

  "Is he? So he's actually the leader of those six evil rascals? Can his abilities even be considered worthy of being a leader? What a joke!"

  "What a fool who doesn't know his own limitations! I can defeat him with just one slap!"

  …………

  Zhou Qing looked at Wang Shi with a still dull expression and said: "You are Wang Shi?"

  Wang Shi nodded slightly, seeing Zhou Qing Shan, he was somewhat shocked. Although this person's face was dull, a hint of fighting intent flashed out, all hidden in his movements.

  "Let's begin!" Zhou Qing Shan was a man of few words, and his actions were as swift and decisive as the sword in his hand. A powerful aura burst forth from his body, and the sword shot straight towards Wang Shi! Zhou Qing Shan didn't hold back because Wang Shi was only at the seventh level of the Opening Void Realm; instead, he went all out with a fierce attack.

  "Drink!" Wang Shi was shocked, he didn't expect this person to launch a sudden attack. The spiritual energy on Wang Shi's body also surged abruptly, and the thick spiritual energy burst out instantly.

  "Golden Fist!" A golden fist print fell from Wang Shi's hand, surging towards Zhou Qing Shan with an extremely powerful aura!

  Boom

  Zhou Qing Shan was extremely decisive, his sword swung in a straightforward manner without any fancy moves. All that could be heard was a dull thud as the golden fist print vanished into thin air. Zhou Qing Shan's speed also decreased instantly.

  "Fēng qīng yǐng!" Wang Shi's eyes lit up, his spiritual energy transformed into a gust of wind, and his shadow was like a ghost, approaching Zhou Qing Shan in the blink of an eye.

  Zhou Qing Shan's eyes remained dull and expressionless, his face a mask of calmness as the sword in his hand chopped down fiercely towards that figure!

  Buzz

  Wang Shi's figure dodged the attack like a gentle breeze.

  Zhou Qing Shan suddenly swung his sword horizontally, sweeping across thousands of troops, his spiritual energy bursting forth like a fountain, exploding towards Wang Shi!
