He strode over with remarkable speed, his entire figure cloaked in a black robe, especially concealing his Withered Face as if he were unwilling to let anyone see his appearance.
In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of Mao Shiba.
Zhou Zhen was just about to rush forward to help when he suddenly saw this person appear so quickly in his line of sight, causing him to furrow his brows and halt his steps.
The next moment, the Mysterious Black Robed Figure leaped into the air, directly landing on the shoulder of the Zombie Cloud Ghost General, and then kicked Mao Shiba away with a powerful blow.
He then performed a nimble flip and engaged in combat with the Zombie that the Cloud Ghost General had become.
His movements resembled those of a martial arts master from a wuxia drama.
“Who is this person?”
I heard Zhou Zhen voice his surprise. However, given the current situation, it was clear that this individual had come to assist in dealing with the Zombie.
Mao Shiba had already extricated himself, and Zhou Zhen no longer felt the urgency to help.
After being kicked away forcefully, Mao Shiba spat on the ground and got back up, ready to charge again.
At that moment, the Mysterious Black Robed Figure coldly scoffed, “You’re just a novice. If you don’t want to die, stand aside and don’t get in the way.”
Having just been kicked aside, Mao Shiba was already somewhat irritated. However, knowing that this person was trying to save him, he refrained from saying much and only thought about how to help.
Yet being looked down upon like this made it hard for Mao Shiba to maintain his composure. He coldly retorted, “Hmph, you might be a bit too arrogant. While it’s undeniable that your skills are indeed superior to mine, do you not understand that there are always greater talents beyond your own?”
“There are always greater talents beyond one’s own,”
the Mysterious Black Robed Figure sneered dismissively while entangled in battle with the Zombie Cloud Ghost General, as if Mao Shiba had just told a grand joke.
Despite being distracted, the Mysterious Black-Robed Figure faced the Zombie, now transformed into the Cloud Ghost General, with ease.
"What are you laughing at?"
Mao Shiba's anger intensified.
"What am I laughing at?"
The Mysterious Black-Robed Man scoffed, "I'm laughing at a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet telling me that there are people beyond people and realms beyond realms. Isn't that funny?"
"Damn it!"
Mao Shiba couldn't help but curse loudly.
The Mysterious Black-Robed Man's words caused Zhou Zhen's brows to furrow tightly, his expression darkening. He stepped forward slightly and couldn't resist saying loudly, "You seem to be overestimating yourself. You should know that in our land of Huaxia, the Taoist Nine Meridians still exist; you are not the only one."
I could see it clearly; this Mysterious Black-Robed Figure definitely had a higher level of cultivation than Zhou Zhen and Mao Shiba.
However, just as Mao Shiba and Zhou Zhen had pointed out, despite his high cultivation, this person came off as overly arrogant.
"And he is the heir of the Mao Family," Zhou Zhen added as a reminder.
The black-robed man snorted coldly, "Of course I know about the Taoist Nine Meridians, but with your level of cultivation, you aren't qualified to challenge me. Just shut up."
"How arrogant!"
Mao Shiba shouted angrily, "I'll show you the power of my Mao Family's techniques."
The sound fell, and Mao Shiba had already charged forward.
The Mysterious Black-Robed Man said nothing, merely sneering dismissively.
He reached out and took out a rune, then began to chant swiftly: "Heaven and Earth transform into Yin and Yang, Yin and Yang transform into the Five Elements, the Five Elements illuminate the Sun and Moon, divine symbols display their powers, Urgent Command!"
In an instant, a dazzling blue light erupted from the rune. With a flick of his fingers, he forcefully struck the Zombie transformed from the Cloud Ghost General, sending it flying.
Before the Zombie could bounce back up again, the Mysterious Black-Robed Figure had already closed in. He drew a Money Sword from his waist, bent down, and plunged it fiercely into the Zombie's chest, pinning it down firmly.
"Roar!"
The Zombie transformed from the Cloud Ghost General was still struggling, seemingly in immense pain as it tried to rise.
The Mysterious Black-Robed Man stepped on it and then took out another Blue Rune, placing it squarely on its forehead. In the next moment, the Zombie showed no further reaction.
This entire series of actions was completed in an instant, incredibly fast—so fast that Mao Shiba had just rushed forward and everything was already resolved.
Mao Shiba stared blankly at the Zombie he had just subdued, swallowing hard.
Especially with that Blue Rune affixed to its forehead; the Mysterious Black-Robed Man had used two of them in total, which was what shocked Mao Shiba the most.
Runes actually have levels and are generally divided into five types: the first type is the most common and ordinary yellow rune; the second type is blue; followed by purple, silver, and gold.
The Blue Rune belongs to a higher level of runes. Although Mao Shiba had seen such runes before, he could never draw one himself.
And this person before him had used two. If these runes were drawn by him personally, then this alone indicated an absolute gap between Mao Shiba and him.
Mao Shiba felt utterly speechless, especially considering that the Zombie, which he had struggled so hard to subdue, was effortlessly handled by this person.
This realization was quite embarrassing for him.
He was stunned.
However, he never expected to be taken to another place, Upper Clear Academy.
Upper Clear Academy was located on the outskirts of Jintan City. Upon arrival, the first thing that caught his eye was a six-story building in a classical style, resembling the teaching buildings from his childhood school days.
Next was a large courtyard with various other structures scattered around.
I followed behind Mao Shiba and Zhou Zhen. Once inside, many people around my age greeted Mao Shiba as "Senior Brother" and called Zhou Zhen "Uncle Zhou."
One girl left a particularly deep impression on me—not for any special reason, but simply because she was beautiful. I have a bad habit of stealing glances at pretty girls.
Later, I learned her name: Yao Juan.
She had a grandmother whom everyone called Grandma Jiang. Little did I know that many events would unfold between us later on.
