Chapter 56: 53. Special Envoy

Thoughts returned to the past, beneath the icy river water, Wang Xu desperately avoided the pursuit of the dual-scythe insect beast. Just when he thought he would die meaninglessly, an angry shout suddenly echoed, followed by the river water parting and the dual-scythe insect beast being split into two.

"I always felt your voice was somewhat familiar, but I couldn’t recall. When you mentioned it, I immediately remembered." Wang Xu said excitedly, "Thank you, thank you!"

Wang Xu sincerely thanked the middle-aged man in blue. If it weren’t for him taking action at the crucial moment, Wang Xu would have long become a cold skeleton in the river.

The middle-aged man in blue chuckled silently. At that time, he sensed the insect beast appearing in the Safe Zone and rushed over at the fastest speed, slashing the beast dead with one blow. In his haste, he saw a figure in the water but paid no attention.

"I never expected that the person I casually saved back then would achieve such success today." The middle-aged man in blue said.

Wang Xu’s talent and aptitude have already shaken the forces of the entire world, even to the point where he himself had to come and persuade. Such achievements are enough to make people take notice.

"Senior..." The man in blue interrupted Wang Xu, "We both come from the Extreme Ancient Hall. My name is Hong Yushu, I’m a few years older than you. Just call me Brother Hong."

"Brother Hong."

Clearly possessing the qualifications for everyone to look up to, yet having no air of a strong person, Wang Xu’s favorable impression of the middle-aged man in blue increased yet another point.

"This time I’ve come to find you. I suppose you know the reason." Hong Yushu and Wang Xu sat facing each other.

Wang Xu nodded, "If I’m not mistaken, Brother Hong wants me to stay at the Extreme Ancient Hall, right?"

Hong Yushu looked at Wang Xu appreciatively, "You guessed right, your battle achievements are outstanding, your aptitude is remarkable, and crucially, you’re only nineteen years old, just at the beginning stage with ample potential space. So, to prevent you from being poached by other forces, we at the Extreme Ancient Hall will also offer corresponding treatment."

Although Wang Xu had vowed to join the Extreme Ancient Hall, in the hall, he’s just an ordinary member without even a small position, naturally lacking any binding power. A large force could easily tempt Wang Xu away with rich offerings.

Though the Extreme Ancient Hall is full of elite geniuses chosen from among a hundred, lacking one or two, upon seeing all of Wang Xu’s information, Hong Yushu decided without hesitation: make sure to retain Wang Xu!

Heart Level body technique, nineteen years old Tier Seven, Sixth Layer of the Trial Tower; perhaps drawing out any one of these separately isn’t surprising, but putting it all together, this person can only be described with two words—monster!

A monster has at least an eighty percent chance of growing into a Venerable. Hong Yushu understands very well what it means for the Extreme Ancient Hall to produce a Venerable. Therefore, all communication applications to Wang Xu were personally sent and connected by him.

"Brother Wang Xu, you should know, our Extreme Ancient Hall isn’t as wealthy as other major forces. The only thing we can offer is Ancient Martial Arts unparalleled in the world." Hong Yushu said, "But with your strength, you’re probably not interested in Ancient Martial Arts anymore, so I brought this for you."

With a flip of his hand, a transparent chip suddenly appeared in front of Hong Yushu.

"What is this?" Wang Xu asked.

"A secret technique." Hong Yushu said, "This secret technique comes from the Earth Restricted Area, personally retrieved by the hall master from there."

A secret technique? Wang Xu’s eyes lit up. Ancient Martial Arts indeed didn’t help him much, having reached the limit of the Nine-Column Thunder Saber with no further damage output. Only secret techniques could allow Wang Xu to further progress.

"Sword Romance" is one such secret technique. To this day, Wang Xu has only comprehended the First Realm Sword Thunder Shadow, unsure of when he might grasp the Second Realm Sword Illusion Realm.

Thus, Wang Xu urgently needed another secret technique to provide reference.

"This secret technique is named ’Golden Body Myriad Phenomena’. It belongs to the physical type of secret techniques and is quite difficult. The hall master once personally comprehended it but only reached the Second Layer before giving up, later gifting it to me." Hong Yushu said.

Hearing it was a physical type secret technique, Wang Xu’s eyes lit up.

It is well known that the human body is the most fragile. Even possessing earth-shattering destructive power, a single bomb can often end a life.

Therefore, possessing a robust body vastly increases survival chances. Humanity has unearthed Ancient Martial Arts and developed potions that alter physical constitution to push the limits of the body to the utmost.

A physical type Ancient Martial Arts is worth ten or even a hundred times more than ordinary Ancient Martial Arts, valuable, and requires massive cultivation resources and enhancing potions to practice. In other words, cultivating a physical type Ancient Martial Arts equates to burning money; without sufficient wealth, it’s simply unaffordable.

Wang Xu also considered cultivating a physical type Ancient Martial Arts to increase survival chances, but his physical strength had already far surpassed the ordinary, multiple times that of the same tier, without needing to act in vain.

However, now placed before Wang Xu was a secret technique personally brought out by the world’s strongest, Luo, from the Earth Restricted Area.

This temptation was too great for Wang Xu.

"The Extreme Ancient Hall will also provide you with a lot of cultivation resources and a considerable number of points each month. Of course, when you venture outside, you will surely worry about your family’s safety, so I specifically applied for the ’core protection’ plan. There will be Tier Six and above Genetic Warriors protecting your loved ones 24/7, ensuring no accidents occur." Hong Yushu continued.

Speaking of family, Wang Xu took a deep breath, feeling satisfied with the conditions provided by the Extreme Ancient Hall.

Hong Yushu was right, Wang Xu ventured outside precisely to let his family live comfortably. But if something happened to them while he couldn’t arrive in time, no matter how high his realm or how strong he becomes, what use would it be?

"Moreover, I’ve specifically communicated with the hall director, proposed a plan, and it successfully passed." Hong Yushu took out a medal and a certificate, "From now on, you are the Special Envoy of our Extreme Ancient Hall, with authority higher than Five-star, able to directly communicate with all Domain Envoys of the Extreme Ancient Hall. Here is your medal and certificate."

"Special Envoy?" Wang Xu was puzzled.

Hong Yushu smiled, "Special Envoy, a second tier figure in the Extreme Ancient Hall, in other words, if you return as a Special Envoy, even the governor of the Seventh Safe Zone must personally come to greet you, that’s what it means."

Wang Xu’s breath caught.

The governor personally coming to greet? What kind of power is that?

"Wang Xu, these are the best conditions our Extreme Ancient Hall can offer. If you think it’s still not enough, you can choose any item in the Extreme Ancient Hall’s mall, and I’ll gift it to you in my personal name." Hong Yushu said.

Clearly, Hong Yushu values Wang Xu significantly. The Extreme Ancient Hall offers such generous conditions and even makes an exception to let a Tier Seven Master Level strongman become a Special Envoy, while also gifting something in his personal name, showing Hong Yushu’s eagerness to nurture talent.

"Thank you, Brother Hong." Wang Xu said, "I think I can’t accept your gift..."

Hong Yushu’s heart tightened, would he still refuse?

"However, I am willing to accept the conditions offered by the Extreme Ancient Hall." Wang Xu continued.

"Hahaha..." Hong Yushu laughed heartily, "You almost took my breath away, I thought you were going to refuse."

Wang Xu also laughed. From the very start, he never intended to leave the Extreme Ancient Hall.

To him, the Extreme Ancient Hall bore a great favor, no matter if they offered him anything or not, he would always be a member of the Extreme Ancient Hall.

After chatting for a while longer, Hong Yushu had some matters and bid farewell first.

Watching Hong Yushu’s receding figure, a tinge of homesickness emerged in Wang Xu’s heart. He wanted to make a trip home, see his long-unseen parents, and meet Li Lian, who grew up with him.

"In two more months, the battle group will have a half-month holiday. I’ll take the opportunity to go home and have a look."
