"Finally... I want to talk about the handling of the incident in the auditorium."

Zhou Jiren habitually took out his cigar, thinking that this was Lu Nanzhi's yard, and that the lady didn't like the smell... so he just kept holding it in his mouth without lighting it, "Zhou Yu's case is a great contribution."

, but you should know that this credit is not something you can take now, even if you are S-level."

Gu Shen said softly: "I know."

"What kind of compensation do you want?" Zhou Jiren narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard that you robbed Cui Zhongcheng... Do you still lack the sealed artifact in your hand?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Gu Shen's wrist.

It can offset a high-intensity impact. It was once an A-level sealed object but was downgraded due to excessive consumption. Now there are only two left.

I heard that Gu Shen also took an inconspicuous pointer from the ground of Huazhi.

Of course, there are battles between extraordinary beings that rely on the number of "sealed objects" to win. This is the so-called strategy of having a big family and a big business, and just relying on throwing treasures can destroy the opponent half to death.

It's just that within the parliament, A-level sealed objects are highly scarce. Being able to hold one as the main combat weapon is enough to match one's own combat power...

To be truly powerful, you still have to rely on yourself.

Sealed objects are for auxiliary purposes.

The higher the rating, the stronger it is... but what powerful extraordinary beings often look for is not the highest-rated sealed artifact, but the one that best suits them.

"Teacher...what I lack may not be the Sealed Artifact."

Gu Shen smiled bitterly.

After he came to Dadu, he experienced many battles, from the fight between Jiangtan and Qushui, to the desperate counterattack on Yuandan Street, to the escape from the Nanwan Building, and then the one-shot snowstorm at the dance last night...

Every battle is extremely thrilling.

And the biggest feeling Gu Shen experienced from it was...

My overall strength is too weak.

The twelfth level of the Deep Sea Trial, he is now only on the third level even though he is fully qualified. The combat power that the spiritual system can exert in the early stage is limited... Due to the characteristics of blazing fire, he is fearless in the battle in the dream, but on this journey

Every one of the extraordinary people of the attack type and nature type that I encountered were much higher than their own rank.

Dadu District... was originally the first urban district in Jiangnan, Dongzhou.

Strong people gather here!

Leaving aside Chen Mi and Song Ci, who are the eleventh-level preparatory level players second only to the titled extraordinary ones, there are still many mid-to-high-level extraordinary beings in the seventh and eighth levels of the deep sea.

He simply cannot intervene in high-level battles.

"Well...I understand what you mean."

Zhou Jiren nodded slowly.

Don't blame Gu Shenwei.

But in the metropolitan area...there are indeed too many strong people.

There are only a few titled extraordinary beings in Dongzhou. How many can be permanently stationed in a certain city or a certain area? The twelve-level extraordinary beings who are assigned titles within the federal system have tasks that they must go out to perform every year.

, they spend most of their time running around.

But most of them have a permanent seal.

[Shimokawa] Gu Zhi retreated from the fortress... A combat power of his level, under the current situation, should not appear in a peaceful and stable area, unless this area is of high importance.

Gu Zhi was able to stay in Dadu because this area had a unique status in Dongzhou.

With the title on guard, no matter how serious the crisis below S level is, it will not affect the normal operation of the metropolitan area.

As a newcomer, Gu Shen's promotion and training speed was already astonishing. However, in the high-level tasks in the metropolitan area, he really could not play a decisive role in determining the outcome of the battle.

"I don't know what kind of compensation I should ask for... To me, even now, I am just a 'poor boy' who has never seen the world. I don't know what I want to get if I have gold and silver."

Gu Shen sighed.

"If I have to decide the content of compensation... I hope that in the future, I can practice all the breathing techniques left by Gu Changzhi in the three institutes."

"Actually, I just hope that I can become stronger, faster...become stronger."

He showed his cards, and there was actually nothing to hide. After experiencing these battles, Gu Shen knew that the gap between himself and those powerful extraordinary beings could not be filled by relying on sealed objects.

"..."

After Mr. Shu listened, he hummed slightly, said nothing, and just extended his palm.

A fallen leaf fell from the branch of the banyan tree and landed on his outstretched palm. The fallen leaf seemed to have fallen into a lake and slowly dipped into his palm.

Fallen leaves return to their roots.

"Remember what I said before?"

Zhou Jiren raised his head and turned his gaze to the banyan tree again.

"If you make a towering tree, it will last for hundreds of years."

"Being a bright epiphyllum lasts only one night."

"Many people will misunderstand this sentence... thinking that I am encouraging my disciples to walk slowly and slow down. In fact, the practice of extraordinary people is a reverse path full of ups and downs. Those who have the ability to walk fast are only 10/20

, walking slowly is the norm.”

Zhou Jiren looked at Gu Shen and smiled, "And those who are qualified to enter the Judgment Office and to be worshiped under my 'Towering Tree' are all geniuses with extraordinary talents. Each of them has extraordinary speed in cultivation."

, can all be done quickly... Of course you are no exception."

"That's why I put this sentence on my lips and remind them all the time."

"If you can walk fast, then you should walk slow."

Gu Shen was a little confused.

He understood, but he didn't seem to understand.

"In the adjudication office, there are several powerful extraordinary ones. If the Eastern Continent Council decides to relax the limit on the number of seats for the 'Grand Adjudicator', then they will soon become the new 'Grand Adjudicator'... They have

With his strength, he has also taught outstanding disciples and students. However, there is no level of Taoism, and everyone’s practice philosophy is different, so the students and disciples he educates are also different.”

"Zhu Wang's favorite disciple, Han Dang, set a dream interpretation record for Jingzhe when he entered the Judgment Office. He has been making great progress, breaking the records of the Judgment Office one after another... and now he has stopped at the eleventh level of the deep sea."

"As for your Senior Sister Luo, when she entered the Judgment Office with him and was accepted by me as my disciple, Jingzhe's dream interpretation results were mediocre and she had not yet shown her talents... Now, she has become 'Tian Tong', the youngest titled person in Dongzhou.

One, she will only be stronger than me in the future."

When Zhou Ji said this long paragraph, there was no hint of showing off. The old guy, who had never been very serious, became serious this time.

"To be my disciple, you don't have to 'fight to be first'."

He paused and said: "I understand your current state of mind...Song Ci, Chen Mei, these young people are not much older than you. You have watched them shine in Dadu, but your current strength is not so good.

If you are so far away, there will definitely be a gap in your mind. But in fact, it’s not necessary.”

Zhou Jiren took a deep breath.

He clenched his hands tightly.

That dead leaf has been integrated into flesh and blood.

The energy of the [Holy Wood] radiated from the old man's body, and Gu Shen once again felt the gentle and faint glow... There seemed to be a warm current flowing around him. It was obviously the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, and the small house was scattered.

The yellow leaves were picked up by the wind and fell on Mr. Tree, then they all melted away, as if he had returned to his hometown.

"Only by accumulating thick and thin, can we live a long life."

“You can have lasting greenness for a hundred years, and you can also have it be gorgeous overnight.”

"...Watch it!"

Drink together.

Zhou Jiren looked at the banyan tree. It was originally an evergreen tree, but it only turned slightly yellow at the end of autumn. At this moment, under the reflection of the [sacred tree], the branches trembled for an instant, as if spring had returned, and the leaves were growing crazily.

, for a moment there were sparkling waves of light swaying above the tree crown, and the years of this banyan tree were incredibly reversed, returning to the moment when its vitality was most vigorous!

"If you have no savings and grow like crazy... you are overdrawing your future."

"If the foundation is rich, and it blooms again, it will usher in a continuous spray."

The glow gradually dissipated.

The warm breeze lingered in the courtyard for a long time.

Zhou Jiren took back his [Holy Wood], and he seemed to have turned into a tree man, with layers of leaves growing on his cheeks, like paper, blowing in the wind, rattling and trembling, but as the glow dissipated,

He regained his previous appearance.

Gu Shen looked at this scene... and fell into deep thought.

Zhou Jiren glanced at the master bedroom of the old house without revealing any trace, and he said slowly: "Nan Jin left Dadu and came to the tribunal. He has been learning swordsmanship from me for almost ten years. Now he is only on the seventh level of the deep sea, not

It's because she's not qualified enough and doesn't work hard enough..."

"On the contrary. She is very qualified and works hard enough."

"With her talent, if she wants to overdraw, she can naturally practice higher and faster."
