Zhang Sheng's words startled everyone present. None of them knew what he intended to do next.

When Zhangsun Wuji heard Zhang Sheng dare to say such a thing, his expression immediately changed. Then he said to Zhang Sheng in uncontrollable fury:

"Zhang Sheng! How dare you! Are you trying to force my sister to stay?"

Seeing such a strong reaction from Zhangsun Wuji, Zhang Sheng immediately realized that he seemed to have chosen his words poorly.

"Uh! Brother Fuji! A misunderstanding! It's a misunderstanding! I worded that badly. First, let me apologize to you and Sister Wugou!"

"Spare me! Hmph! I, Zhangsun Wuji, am not worthy of a bow from you, Young Master Zhang! Sister, we're leaving. Today, I'd like to see who dares stop us!"

"Oh, come on! Brother Fuji! Young Master Zhangsun! Let me finish!"

Zhang Sheng hardly knew whether to laugh or cry. How had something perfectly fine turned into this?

"Brother! Let Brother Zhang Sheng finish! Besides, Brother Zhang Sheng isn't that kind of person."

Zhangsun Wugou could no longer stand watching and hurried forward to soothe Zhangsun Wuji.

"What's there to say? He dared to openly force you to stay. What misunderstanding could there be?"

"Brother~"

Seeing how unyielding her brother was, Zhangsun Wugou immediately began acting coquettishly.

Seeing that his sister had even resorted to this move,

Zhangsun Wuji could only hold his temper for the moment and see what Zhang Sheng had to say.

"Fine! For my sister's sake, speak! What did you mean just now?"

Seeing there was room to ease the situation, Zhang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhangsun Wuji somewhat solemnly:

"Brother Fuji! Let me ask you a question first. What do you think of my combat prowess?"

Zhangsun Wuji was waiting for Zhang Sheng's explanation and hadn't expected him to start asking questions instead.

Even so, he intended to answer Zhang Sheng's question truthfully.

Remembering the moment Zhang Sheng had unleashed his power still left him shaken.

"Unlike anything I've ever seen! Beyond the realm of mortals!"

With that short sentence, Zhangsun Wuji summed up what made Zhang Sheng extraordinary.

But what he said next left Zhang Sheng embarrassed again.

"What? Are you trying to show off your combat prowess to us?"

"Uh! How would I dare? How would I dare?"

"Brother! Mind your words!"

Zhangsun Wugou, who was standing beside them, naturally noticed Zhang Sheng's embarrassment and hurriedly called out to Zhangsun Wuji in coquettish reproach.

"Whatever you want to say, just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."

"You're right, Brother Fuji. The fault is mine!"

Zhang Sheng felt that this was the darkest day of his life. He kept being rebuked until he was left speechless, yet he didn't dare raise his voice in protest.

But his intentions weren't pure, after all. He had set his sights on the man's sister.

"Brother Fuji! The reason I wanted Sister Wugou to stay is that what comes next has everything to do with her."

"What is it?"

As soon as Zhangsun Wuji heard that it concerned his sister,

he immediately lost his composure, and even his tone grew urgent.

Zhangsun Wugou, standing beside him, looked at Zhang Sheng with wide, curious eyes, waiting for him to continue.

"Brother Fuji! There's no need to be nervous. It's a good thing! Do you remember what I told you last time?"

"Which time?"

"The day I said I'd discovered something unusual after treating Sister Wugou.

I said that if it could be achieved, it would change the entire world in the future."

"I remember! What? You did it? But what does it have to do with Wugou?"

"I have Sister Wugou to thank for this. If she hadn't escaped death this time,

and I hadn't happened to treat her injuries, I might never have discovered its existence in my entire life."

The way Zhang Sheng and Zhangsun Wuji spoke in riddles made Zhangsun Wugou want to scratch her head in frustration.

"Brother! What secret are you and Brother Zhang Sheng talking about? I can't understand a word."

"Wugou! Never mind you, I'm still confused myself!"

Zhangsun Wugou rolled her eyes at Zhangsun Wuji, then turned her gaze on Zhang Sheng.

"Brother Zhang Sheng! What you're talking about has something to do with me, right? Then tell me about it."

"Follow me to the training ground first!"

After saying that, Zhang Sheng led the way toward the training ground without offering any further explanation.

Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Wugou exchanged a glance behind him, then followed.

This series of actions by Zhang Sheng had drawn their attention, and they had no idea what he intended to do!

Before long, they arrived at the training ground. Some of Zhang Sheng's guards were still sparring there, both sides fighting with great fervor.

But when they saw Zhang Sheng arrive, they immediately stopped, then came over and bowed.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Mm! Go about your business for now! I came here for something!"

"Yes!"

Having received Zhang Sheng's order, the guards left the training ground at once without the slightest delay.

Although Zhangsun Wuji had seen Zhang Sheng's guard unit several times before,

seeing them again now, he still sincerely admired Zhang Sheng for training such an outstanding unit.

Their martial skills in particular were also exceptional, which was somewhat hard to believe.

"All right! There's no one else here now. Whatever tricks you have, show us!"

Faced with Zhangsun Wuji's urging, Zhang Sheng did not appear overly impatient. Instead, he strode into the middle of the training ground and called out:

"Brother Fuji! Watch closely!"

"Martial Soul, Blue Silver Grass, possess me!"

Before Zhang Sheng's voice had even faded, a thick stalk of Blue Silver Grass began to appear beside him.

Blue light illuminated the entire training ground in an instant.

"Th-this..."

"Brother..."

The sudden sight before them left Zhangsun Wuji and Zhangsun Wugou stunned.

They didn't know what this thing that had suddenly appeared was. They had never seen anything so far beyond their understanding.

"Brother! Look, isn't that a rather large stalk of Blue Silver Grass?"

"It really is!"

"Brother! Do you think Brother Zhang Sheng is a transformed demon?"

"A demon? Surely not! He's been quite good to us these past few days."

The moment Zhangsun Wuji heard that Zhang Sheng might be a demon, his heart began to tremble.

His attitude toward Zhang Sheng just now had hardly been friendly. Would Zhang Sheng eat him?

"Mm! Even if Brother Zhang Sheng is a demon, he's a good demon!"

If Zhang Sheng knew that the person he cared about had taken him for a demon, he wouldn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Regardless of what the Zhangsun siblings were thinking off the field, another change came over Zhang Sheng in the middle of it.

"Third Soul Skill-Blue Silver Sword Qi!"

"Whoosh!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Sword Qi suddenly filled the field, shining with silvery light.

Then, like flashes of silver, they flew straight toward the stone block in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, the stone block, over a meter tall, was blasted to pieces by the countless streams of Sword Qi.

The remaining Sword Qi carved one seemingly bottomless gash after another into the ground.

By the time the dust settled, Zhang Sheng had come to the Zhangsun siblings' side.

Seeing them standing there open-mouthed and looking frightened, he began to wonder whether he had overdone his performance.

"Ahem! Are you two all right?"

"Ah! Don't come any closer!"

Zhang Sheng had only meant to greet them and hadn't expected such a strong reaction from Zhangsun Wugou.

Although Zhangsun Wuji was a little better, his face had also gone somewhat pale, and he took several steps back.

Then he seemed to come to his senses and hurried forward to shield Zhangsun Wugou behind him. In a trembling voice, he asked:

"You... what are... are you going to do?"
