An Extra Master

Seemingly sensing Lin Yi's thoughts, Wu Shi's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he smiled, saying, "You want to escape? Fine, let me see what you're capable of!"

Before Lin Yi could reply, Wu Shi threw a punch first.

This seemingly ordinary punch appeared to suppress the surrounding space, creating ripples as it struck Lin Yi directly.

Lin Yi felt his hair tremble all over his body, as if the withering of time was overwhelming him.

Even with his strong physique, he would likely be severely injured by this punch.

"Blazing Li Fire, condense for me!"

Lin Yi shouted, and a dazzling blue-purple flame erupted from his body, instantly draining all the firepower of the surrounding area and condensing into a Thousand-Zhang Fire Dragon.

Thousand-Zhang Fire Dragon roared and blocked Lin Yi's path.

Boom!

Wu Shi's fist fell, the Thousand-Zhang Fire Dragon was blasted apart, turning into a rain of blue-purple fire that fell from the sky.

At this moment, the Garrison Commander, who had just left, sensed the huge commotion behind them and all turned around to look back.

They didn't think much of it, assuming that it was Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord testing Qin Jian.

That's it?

Wu Shi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. To him, Lin Yi's use of the ' Li Fire ' Domain in this move was extremely crude and hard to believe.

However, Lin Yi's moves were clearly not as simple as Wu Shi had imagined.

Under a sky full of blue-purple fire rain, the Lava Fire Sea surged and undulated, and an even larger ' Li Fire ' Domain spread out, turning into a net of fire rain that enveloped Wu Shi at its center.

"Deputy Prefect, let me see what you've got!"

Crack!

Lin Yi's figure disappeared at some point, his entire body transformed into red crystal, and he appeared behind Wu Shi.

Holding thunder and flames, and unleashing a torrent of power, Lin Yi's brute physical strength exploded beyond its limits for the first time.

At this moment, the world changed color, and it seemed that even space itself was about to be shattered.

"Excellent technique, this is worthy of your talent!"

Wu Shi watched Lin Yi's fist fall without changing his expression.

Lin Yi's fist seemed to strike soft cotton, turning Wu Shi's body into a cloud of diluted mist.

Did they miss?

Lin Yi looked up at the distance.

Several meters away, Wu Shi's figure coalesced again, watching him with a slight smile.

"Not bad. Although your control over your Domain power is a bit rough, your combat awareness is not bad. Considering that you are new to the Ancient Domain and have not yet had the chance to see those Eight-Realm Martial Saint, your combat strength is quite remarkable and befits your status Descender one descendant!"

Lin Yi couldn't help but frown and ask, "What exactly do you mean?"

Lin Yi felt that Wu Shi in front of him seemed to be somewhat similar to Spirit Wood Sage. Even after discovering his identity Descender, Wu Shi did not feel any aversion or killing intent towards him.

With a slight smile, Wu Shi said, "Did you find my punch just now familiar?"

Lin Yi raised an eyebrow as she recalled.

Suddenly, he remembered that night at Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Just Wu Shi, Wushi's fist not only suppressed space, but also carried a sense of time, as if a single punch could age a person.

It is exactly the same as the Withering and Yu Huachen Wither-Prosper Fist that Yu Huachen used.

Could it be that the Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord has some inexplicable relationship with Yu Huachen?

Upon recalling that the Spirit Wood Sage had taken on a disciple among the Descender, Lin Yi's first thought was that Yu Huachen was a disciple taken on by the Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord.

"Are you Yu Huachen's master?"

Wu Shi recalled, "Master, you could say that, but the one who truly became my disciple was Yu Huaqing, whom you should also know."

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief. Since Wu Shi could accept those Descender as his disciples, he must have a certain tolerance for Descender and would not casually call for their killing.

"I see. So, what is your opinion of me, senior?"

Lin Yi, Wu Shi Wang Bi: "Just call me Deputy Prefect, I'm more used to it. As for my opinion of you, I naturally think you are bold and meticulous, daring to impersonate the Ancient Domain Guardian."

Lin Yi cupped his hands in greeting. "Deputy Prefect, you flatter me. The Ancient Domain has set up the Seventeen Tong Pass isolate itself from the outside world. If one does not assume the identity of Ancient Domain person, it will be difficult to blend into the Ancient Domain."

Wu Shi nodded and asked, "Where is Qin Jian now?"

"I have suppressed him in a special place, a place known only to me."

"Alright, if you don't want your identity to be exposed, Qin Jian's life needs to be spared."

Lin Yi asked in confusion, "Is the Deputy Prefect going to let me go?"

"You've performed well, so I'll let you off this time. Otherwise, for merely impersonating the garrison Garrison Commander, I would have skinned you alive and made you wish you were dead."

Wu Shi's tone was calm, but Yi could hear the coldness and killing intent in it.

Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat, realizing that this Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord was ultimately different from the Spirit Wood Sage.

Lin Yi tried to ask, "Is it because I didn't kill Qin Jian?"

"Yes, besides that, you saved You Huoli earlier, which counts as one of those things. Although I am not prejudiced against those Descendant, anyone who dares to harm the people of my Ancient Domain Tong Pass Prefecture without cause, no matter who you are, I will kill them."

Lin Yi nodded, understanding the boundaries of this Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord.

"Deputy Prefect, what are you going to do with me?"

Wu Shi Yu: "Continue to play the role of Yi. As long as you don't harm the Ancient Domain or disrupt Tongguan Prefecture, I won't make things difficult for you."

Thank you.

Lin Yi breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that Wu Shi is not planning to reveal his identity at the moment.

However, even if Wu Shi doesn't intend to kill me now, it doesn't mean he won't in the future.

After all, judging from the Ancient Domain's attitude towards the Descendant, a huge conflict is bound to break out in the future.

At that time, given the position of Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord, he would probably side with the Ancient Domain.

At this moment, Lin Yi was eager to improve his cultivation level, enter the eighth realm Martial Saint, and gain the power to protect himself.

At this moment, Wushi asked Wu Shi, "You have the scent of ' Wither and Flourish ' on you. Have you ever comprehended the Domain ' Wither and Flourish '?"

Lin Yi thought about it and decided not to hide anything.

"The young man has indeed grasped the basics of the ' Wither and Flourish ' Domain, but this Domain is extremely difficult to improve upon..."

Wu Shi interrupted Yu: "It's normal that it's difficult to improve. Even though it's the Eight Laws of Qiankun, it's not as difficult to comprehend as the ' Wither and Flourish ' Domain. Since you've already entered the realm, you clearly have great comprehension of the Wither and Flourish domain. Would you like to become my disciple?"

apprentice?

Lin Yi was taken aback.

Just now, this Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord had given him a cold warning, but now he wants to take on a disciple.

Furthermore, is this acceptance of apprentices genuine, or is there an ulterior motive?

Lin Yi has no choice but to think things through now.

"I wonder why the Deputy Prefect wants to take me as his disciple?"

Looking at Lin Yi's expression, Wu Shi couldn't help but smile, "I know what you're worried about, but since I've already accepted you as a disciple, I certainly won't have any intention of harming you. Also, I only have three disciples now. If you become my disciple, you can become the Eldest Senior Brother."

Is he the Eldest Senior Brother of the sect?

To be honest, Lin Yi really had no feelings for this Eldest Senior Brother.

Besides, what's so great about becoming that brat Yu Huaqing's senior brother?

"Deputy Prefect, what will I gain if I become an apprentice?"

Seeing Lin Yi's bluntness, Wu Shi taken aback.

"If you become my disciple, you will no longer have to worry about your identity being exposed. Even if the Ancient Domain Tong Pass Prefecture a warrant for your arrest one day, I can still ensure your safety. In addition, I will also teach you the 'Wither and Flourish ' technique and give you the Fundamental Diagram ' Wither and Flourish ' to comprehend."

"The Fundamental Diagram of the ' Wither and Flourish ' Domain?"

Lin Yi was slightly surprised. He knew that the Fundamental Diagram of the first-class Domain was the most precious inheritance of the Ancient Domain Martial Dao Aristocratic Families. He never expected that the Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord would have a copy.

"Does the Deputy Prefect treat all his disciples this way?"

Wu Shi looked at Lin Yi Yiyu: "No, I have too many fruits on my body and have received too many inheritances. Several decades ago, I promised a senior that I would carry forward the ' Wither and Flourish ' Domain. I originally chose Yu Huachen, but I did not expect him to get trapped in that place. Now you meet my requirements."

"Then, is it possible to become an apprentice...?"

Seeing that Lin Yi was still hesitating, Wu Shi's voice turned cold as he urged, "Why are you so long-winded? If you don't bow, I'll expose your identity."

Lin Yi hesitated, then nodded without asking further, saying, "Deputy Prefect, I am willing to become your disciple."

However, Lin Yi decided in his heart that if Wu Shi ulterior motives for accepting him as a disciple, he would only pretend to be polite and not take the apprenticeship seriously.

If Wu Shi truly accepted him as a disciple in order to carry forward the tradition, then it wouldn't be unreasonable for him to recognize Wushi Deputy Prefecture Lord as his master.

Speaking of which, he has already taken in several disciples in the Apocalypse World, but this is the first time he has become a disciple.

I just hope that he won't surpass this master's level in the short term.

As Lin Yi, Wu Shi waved his golden sleeve, and a white cloud gathered above the scorching Fire Sea.

The clouds and mist transformed into a palace, complete with seats, Spirit Tea, and a round table.

"Kneel down and serve me tea!"

Wu Shi ascended to the palace platform, his features dignified and his expression majestic as he sat on a cloud-shaped chair.

Lin Yi's expression froze slightly, but he didn't say anything. He then picked up the Spirit Tea and kowtowed to Wu Shi.

"Those who become my disciples must respect their teacher and not be competitive or aggressive. You must remember this!"

"Yes!"

"You must carry forward the martial arts and secret techniques I have taught you, and you must not pass them on to others without permission!"

"Yes!"

"Finally, even as the Descendant, you must prioritize the Ancient Domain Tong Pass. You now swear an oath that no matter what happens in the future, you will not harm the innocent people of the Ancient Domain!"

Upon hearing this last request, Lin Yi paused, pondered for a moment, and then agreed.
