The All-Purpose King Ding Ling Overwhelms Ji Province's Famous Scholars! Just How Powerful Is His Background?

The all-purpose king Ding Ling had crushed Ji Province's famous scholars! Just how powerful was his background?

This was the number-one trending search!

There were all kinds of discussions below it, with people saying everything imaginable.

Even the most outrageous claims had received tens of thousands of likes.

Someone commented below:

"Ding Ling? I know him. He used to be my colleague. He's just an ordinary office worker. How could he possibly be the heir and successor of some Hidden Family? Hahaha, this is hilarious. Netizens' imaginations are way too wild these days!"

Those words enraged countless netizens.

Especially the players from the Ji Province Camp who had personally witnessed Ding Ling's might. They focused their furious attacks on this 'Ding Ling colleague.'

They kept insulting the 'colleague' until he deleted his account, and only then did they stop.

Of course, they inevitably left one final message as a memorial:

"What the hell? Does every Tom, Dick, and Harry think they can use their connection with Ding Ling of the Hidden Family to raise their own status?! Bah!"

Those words instantly silenced quite a few of Ding Ling's classmates and colleagues.

Some people who had originally wanted to say that they knew Ding Ling hesitated.

The changes in Ding Ling's current appearance and bearing from the past were simply too great.

They did not dare confirm that he was the same person.

What if he wasn't? Wouldn't they be miserably flamed until they deleted their accounts?

Thus, many of Ding Ling's acquaintances decided to wait and see.

Ding Ling knew nothing about these matters.

That was because he had barely logged out at all.

Even when he did log out, he would hurriedly eat a simple meal before logging back in. He did not linger at Players' Plaza in between, and naturally had no interaction with the other players.

To make eating more convenient, he had even given the little money he had left to his next-door neighbor, Uncle Zhang, asking him to cook for him and treating it as his meal expenses.

Uncle Zhang was easy to deal with. After taking the money, he would do the work properly. At the very least, Ding Ling would not have to worry about going hungry for the time being.

What if the money ran out?

He did not have to worry about food, drink, or lodging right now.

Once the meal money was used up, he could simply go out and earn more.

He was now practically an all-purpose king. Was he really afraid he could not make money?

He could earn quite a bit just by doing some 'minor-language' translation work on foreign websites!

Thus.

Ding Ling was completely unflustered!

Unlike before, when he had been too ordinary and was always afraid of losing his job and being unable to make money, leaving him frequently anxious.

Now, he was far calmer.

Obtained Achievement Medal: Your fame has spread throughout the Yecheng area of Ji Province!

Note: Through word of mouth among the players, your great name is now known by practically everyone in Yecheng. People throughout the Nine Provinces have also begun to take notice of you.

Another Achievement Medal?

Ding Ling was stunned.

"Fame can also earn Achievement Medals?"

Ding Ling pondered:

"It seems that as long as I'm strong enough and my influence is great enough, I won't have to worry about running out of Achievement Medals."

He glanced at his character panel.

He discovered another notification:

Obtained Achievement Medal: You have become the Tiger Brave General of the Ji Province Camp!

Note: Han Fu greatly admires you! He believes you are more than qualified to serve as a military officer and is even preparing to transfer you to his side as an aide. It was only because Pan Feng insisted that you become the defending general of Changshan Commandery that you were granted the title of Tiger Brave General!

The relevant petition has already been sent by Han Fu to the Imperial Court. The Imperial Decree will arrive shortly, and your official position will be formally confirmed.

Sure enough, becoming an official also granted Achievement Medals.

It was just that becoming a Military Secretary and becoming a Tiger Brave General both only granted ordinary Achievement Medals.

The difference between them was clearly enormous!

Ding Ling was puzzled.

But he did not dwell on it.

Obtaining one was good enough.

He galloped onward.

Along the way, he encountered quite a few robbers, bandits, and brigands.

But no matter who they were, whenever they encountered Ding Ling, they were slaughtered until they fled in disarray!

Ding Ling was now unquestionably an elite among First-Rate Military Generals!

He had defeated Ju Yi.

Zhang He and Gao Lan had also been defeated one after another when they fought him privately!

It could be said that aside from top experts such as Zhao Zilong, Ding Ling no longer feared anyone.

Moreover, the progress of his Path of Glory had also changed:

1: Defeat 20 or more powerhouses from the planes: 3/20.

Zhang He and Gao Lan clearly possessed the traits of powerhouses from the planes.

Pan Feng qualified as well.

Unfortunately, Ding Ling could not defeat Pan Feng.

Pan Feng might be far inferior to Ding Ling in terms of having varied techniques.

But his strength, combined with the Thirty-Six Heavens Gang Axe Technique, was enough to completely crush Ding Ling.

Without a doubt.

Pan Feng was a true Super First-Rate Military General.

Because he had confronted Pan Feng and been suppressed completely, Ding Ling now yearned intensely to become a Super First-Rate Military General.

"On this trip to Changshan Commandery to seek out the Penglai God of Spears, I must learn his ultimate skill and become a Super First-Rate powerhouse!"

With Pan Feng vouching for him,

and with him already being a Tiger Brave General and the defending military officer of Changshan Commandery,

he was now in charge of the commandery's defenses, armory, soldiers, and more!

This would make it easier for him to meet Tong Yuan and greatly increase the chances of successfully learning martial arts.

That day,

Ding Ling arrived at Zhending City in Changshan Commandery.

Holding his official seal, he went directly to find the commandery governor.

The governor was a tall, portly man named Dong Xuan. Ding Ling thought about it but could not remember any such famous figure from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.

He still exchanged a few polite words with him on the surface.

Unexpectedly, Dong Xuan was fond of bullying others through his authority and possessed an extremely strong desire for control!

He had never wanted to hand over his military authority in the first place. When he saw Ding Ling's pretty-boy appearance and seemingly easygoing manner, he became even more arrogant, looking down on him and treating him with indifference.

No matter what Ding Ling said, he could not get more than a single word out of Dong Xuan after a long while.

Seeing this, Ding Ling frowned and turned to leave.

"Hmph!"

Dong Xuan swept a disdainful glance over Ding Ling's back:

"He dares come to Changshan Commandery alone to seize my troops? How could there be such a cheap deal?"

"But my lord."

A retainer said worriedly:

"He is the Tiger Brave General sent by the Governor of Ji Province! A proper seventh-rank official. He is the defending military officer of Changshan Commandery! If we slight him, I'm afraid it will be difficult to answer to the Governor of Ji Province."

"What is there to fear?"

Dong Xuan was brimming with confidence:

"I'm extremely close to the Governor of Ji Province. I know what kind of person he is. He absolutely looks down on martial men. Who knows what method this Ding Ling used to obtain such a position? But it doesn't matter. I'll submit an accusation against him right now and have him kicked out immediately!"

He stroked his beard smugly:

"I know plenty of people in Yecheng. Geng Wu and Min Chun are both my friends. Getting them to put in a few words and have Ding Ling stripped of his position is nothing more than a single sentence!"

"Does my lord intend to frame Ding Ling?"

"That's right."

Dong Xuan laughed:

"How dare this fellow turn against me! Then don't blame me for capsizing his boat! I'll simply say that he neglected his duties and humiliated me. Those two charges alone will be enough to make him suffer!"

Ding Ling had no idea that Dong Xuan was plotting against him.

But he knew one thing: he was not suited for officialdom!

He himself had no great obsession with pursuing an official career. Otherwise, he would not have chosen the Path of the War God.

As for becoming an official, his attitude was to let fate decide.

So after seeing Dong Xuan's attitude, he went straight to the archives to find someone who could lead him to Zhao Zilong's former residence in Zhending.
