Chapter 6: The War of Trials

  Upon hearing the task reward prompt, Wu Ming, who was nestled in Grandma Sun's arms, became even more delighted. Not only did she gain a precious mother-son bond, but also tangible benefits - truly a win-win situation.

  In addition, this is also his first reward in the world of this book, which undoubtedly has great significance.

  After obtaining the Inner Sight reward, Wu Ming found that he could indeed see the situation inside his body. Those lines of meridians were like spider webs, crisscrossing and distributing throughout his body.

  He hasn't cultivated any kung fu yet, his meridians are not only thin and small, but also filled with various blockages and stagnations, and there is no internal force mentioned in the books inside.

  Wu Ming understood that everything had to start from scratch for him.

  When Wu Ming wanted to try out Chunyang Rongxue Gong, Old Lady Sun patted his back and said: "Child, since you called me mom, I absolutely won't let you go back to Chongyang Palace to suffer again. Mom will go ask your Dragon sister, hoping she'll agree to let you stay in the ancient tomb because of all the hardships I endured raising her."

  "Mother, you are really too good to the child..." After hearing Sun's words, Wu Ming's heart warmed up, and at the same time, he suddenly thought of a very serious problem, that is, the future fate of Sun.

  The former world of the Condor Hero, soon Sun Bao Bao will be seriously injured and die, and Yang Guo is lucky to stay in the ancient tomb because of Sun Bao Bao's last words, otherwise Xiao Long Nu would not have left Yang Guo behind.

  So when everything comes back, what will be the fate of Sun Bao's grandmother who has become his own mother? How should he save her? Should he let Sun Bao stay in the ancient tomb and not go to the Chongyang Palace, or take some other measures? Anyway, Wu Ming absolutely does not allow his newly recognized mother to leave him like this.

  However, the role he plays now is just a half-grown child, and it's hard to influence adults' decisions. Moreover, he is an outsider who hasn't even practiced any martial arts like Yang Guo in the original world of The Return of the Condor Hero, so describing him as having "the strength of an unbound chicken" is not an exaggeration.

  So wanting to stop or change everything that happens next is undoubtedly difficult for him, with many uncertain factors.

  The tree wants to be still but the wind will not stop; the child wants to be nourished but the parent is no more.

  For the first time, Wu Ming felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart. Was he going to watch helplessly as the scene from the Divine Eagle replayed itself again?

  No!

  His usual strong-willed character made him grit his teeth quickly, and silently told himself in his heart that he could do it, he must change the fate of Grandma Sun.

  "Silly child, this is the fate between us. When I saw you were injured in the small woods, Grandma was heartbroken and that's why she brought you into the ancient tomb to heal your wounds. Now that you've acknowledged Grandma as your adoptive mother, how could a mother not be good to you? Alright, let's head back first."

  Old Lady Sun finished speaking and wanted to pull Wu Ming to turn around and head back, but heard Wu Ming shake his head and say: "Mom, that Dragon Sister is very cold, I think she won't agree with you letting me stay."

  "Alas... your sister Long is actually not naturally like this, but our ancient tomb sect's kung fu is originally meant to cut off the seven emotions and six desires, so child, don't blame your sister Long in your heart."

  "I see, mom. I won't blame Dragon Sister, it's just that I'm a bit afraid of her. Why don't you go back and ask for her opinion separately? I'll stay here for a while. If Dragon Sister agrees, that would be best; if not, we can think of another way."

  Wu Ming would not be afraid of Little Dragon Girl, he just suddenly thought of a plot in "Jianghu Legend", if he learned Chunyang Rongxue Gong, in unexpected situations, as long as the opponent was not a top-notch master, he had the opportunity to absorb and transform the opponent's internal energy into his own use.

  In this severe form, the more strength you have, the more opportunities you will get. Therefore, Wu Ming wanted to take advantage of this short stay to thoroughly experience the wonders of Chunyang Rongxue Gong.

  "Alright, kid. You stay here first. Remember not to run around randomly. The roads here are crisscrossed and you can easily get lost if you don't know the way."

  "Mom, don't worry, I won't wander off, I'll be right here waiting for you to come back."

  "Good boy, my child, I'll go first." Looking at the clever Wu Ming, Sun Bao's eyes were filled with doting love, and she reluctantly stroked his hair before quickly walking towards the dark corridor.

  After seeing off Sun's grandmother, Wu Ming didn't waste any time and quickly sat down on the ground to start studying the subtleties of Chunyang Rongxue Gong.

  With his inner sight ability, Wu Ming easily got started and soon felt the wonderful feeling that this magical martial art brought to him.

  Similar to the description in Jianghu Legend, Wu Ming felt that his dantian was like an empty valley, as if it could absorb all the airflow from the outside world.

  At the same time, Wu Ming also discovered through introspection that his body's meridians had a faintly weak airflow, constantly flushing out those stagnant acupoints.

  These faint air currents were actually from the ancient tomb's internal air, which shocked Wu Ming greatly and also delighted him. This undoubtedly showed that even if he didn't actively absorb other people's inner strength, relying on his Spring Sun Melting Snow technique, he could still cultivate a powerful inner strength in this fresh and clean world.

  Of course, Wu Ming also knew that this would be a very long process unless there was another opportunity.

  Excited, Wu Ming thought of continuing his cultivation, but he heard footsteps not far away. He understood that Old Lady Sun had come and was definitely rejected by Little Dragon Girl.

  As expected, Old Lady Sun had just arrived by Wu Ming's side and sighed: "Child, I'm useless. Your Dragon sister won't take you in. Alright, from now on, I'll stay with you in the small woods and we'll build a thatched hut. I'll take good care of you."

  "Alright, Mother, I'll leave it all up to you." Wu Ming knew what was on Sun's mind, and although he understood in his heart that living in the small woods wouldn't work out, he didn't say much more. Instead, he thought about the series of problems he would have to face next.

  "What a good kid." Granny Sun smiled, her ugly appearance showing an exceptionally kind expression, which moved Wu Ming's heart even more.

  Next, Grandma Sun held Wu Ming's small hand and continued walking outside.

  After turning several more corners, the two of them finally walked out of the tomb gate and arrived at a small grove.

  At this time, Wu Ming suddenly heard someone outside shouting loudly: "Quanzhenmen disciple Yin Zhiping, on the order of his master, pays respects to Long Niang."

  The voice sounded somewhat distant, and Wu Ming knew it was Yin Zhiping's voice coming from outside the forbidden area.

  At that time when reading the book, Yin Zhiping was not a despicable person, but because of Xiaolongnv's relationship, he had been deeply disliked by Wu Ming. Now, they are about to meet in real life in the world of The Return of the Condor Hero, and Wu Ming really has a feeling of being at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

  If there's a chance to deal with Yin Zhiping, what would you do? Would you kill him or castrate him?

  Wu Ming had just thought of this problem when the Book Spirit System in his mind suddenly issued another task notification.

  "Ding Dong!"

  "You have triggered the Book Immortal System task — [Trial of War]."
