Accepting Apprentices

With no time to think, his cautious nature, ingrained to the bone, made him instantly manifest his true form, wanting to escape.

However, this time, Zhong Qing did not give him a chance.

Zero Seal moved, transforming into a four-hundred-meter long saber that directly broke his illusionary technique, then rested it on his neck.

The terrifying saber light made Du Hao instantly freeze on the spot.

He had no doubt that if he dared to move even one more step, the probability of his head being chopped off would likely be as high as ninety-nine point nine nine nine percent...

Du Hao was unwilling to take even a zero point zero zero zero zero one percent risk.

He forced a smile that was uglier than crying.

"Senior!"

"It's not that serious, is it?"

"I had absolutely no ill intentions towards you."

"Can you please show mercy and spare my life!"

His eyes filled with hope as he spoke.

Zhong Qing smiled and said, "Can we talk now?"

"Yes!"

"Absolutely!"

"What does Senior wish to discuss?"

Zhong Qing: "Seeing that your escape ability is not weak, I want to add some life-saving methods for you!"

This statement completely stumped Du Hao!

His gaze towards Zhong Qing changed.

"Senior, you're not joking, are you?"

Du Hao had thought of thousands of reasons why Zhong Qing was chasing him.

He didn't like him!

He was upset that he had slightly tricked him and wanted to play with him.

But what the hell was "seeing that his escape ability was not weak, giving him some life-saving abilities"?

He had chased him across mountains and rivers, leaving him with no way to ascend to heaven or descend to the earth.

That's it?

Zhong Qing said with a serious Face, "Do I look like I'm joking?"

Seeing this, Du Hao was somewhat unsure.

This guy!

What exactly does he want to do?

He firmly believed that there was no love without reason in this world, nor was there hatred without reason.

Would the other party be so kind? Chasing him like a stray dog, just to increase his life-saving methods!

"Senior, if you have any instructions, please speak directly."

"Whatever I can handle, as long as the danger level is not higher than one percent, I will definitely do it!"

Zhong Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, the danger level is practically non-existent."

"Oh, then tell me, what is it exactly?"

"That is, kowtow and acknowledge me as your Master!"

Zhong Qing naturally wouldn't chase Du Hao for no reason.

The other party's strength was not weak, he was cautious, and his life-saving ability was top-notch.

He had now reached the Northern Region.

His Three Yin Three Realm strength might be good.

But next, he was very likely to Face the North Demon Cave, a top power in the Northern Region.

If he could further his cultivation, his reliance and confidence would greatly increase.

And to achieve another Breakthrough in his cultivation in a short period, the Disciple's cultivation could not be low.

Zhong Qing held the Overlord Body Inheritance.

He could activate the Overlord Body Bond!

The Overlord Body Bond was different from the Trash Bond; it had less strict requirements for Disciple selection.

Du Hao's appearance made Zhong Qing consider taking him as a Disciple.

Of course, the most important thing was that the System had once reminded him that he could freely combine them.

He had once thought of finding a Disciple immune to physical attacks and gifting them the Overlord Body, but whether such a Physique immune to physical attacks could exist in this world was a question.

However, this guy's life-saving ability was so strong; if combined with the Overlord Body's immunity to Law attacks, it would be a good combination.

On the snowy mountain, the wind and snow stretched endlessly.

Du Hao looked at the four-hundred-meter long saber resting on his neck.

His mouth twitched!

This matter was truly getting more and more outrageous!

So outrageous that he didn't even know how to complain!

Who had ever seen a Disciple being taken with a four-hundred-meter long saber held to their neck?

However, thinking about his unparalleled talent, how everyone loved him and flowers bloomed for him, being cherished was just a normal occurrence.

It's just...

His eyes constantly darted around Zhong Qing's body.

During the process of being chased by Zhong Qing, he naturally understood that Zhong Qing's strength was very strong, more than enough to be his Master.

But in this cultivation world, one move affects the whole body.

Even if the other party was strong, if he had three or five enemies, wouldn't it be very dangerous for him to become his Disciple?

The third rule of cultivation: Never place yourself in potential danger.

Thinking of this, Du Hao's eyes kept rolling, pondering an excuse to refuse.

Zhong Qing seemed to have seen through his thoughts.

He said in a leisurely tone, "I don't easily take Disciples. If you refuse, you're not giving me Face."

Upon hearing this, Du Hao's words of refusal, which he had just been about to utter, were swallowed back down.

He chuckled, "If I don't give Senior Face, what will Senior do?"

"I'll kill you!"

Zhong Qing threatened.

Du Hao also saw that Zhong Qing was scaring him.

But combined with the four-hundred-meter long saber, the deterrent was still quite powerful.

He dared not gamble!

He only had one life.

If he lost the gamble, his life would be gone.

Now that he was the fish on the chopping block, what could he do?

Naturally, whatever Zhong Qing said, it would be.

"Master above, please accept this Disciple's bow!"

"Disciple Du Hao, may I ask Master's esteemed name?"

It must be said that in the Face of a life-and-death crisis, Du Hao was very adaptable.

He quickly accepted the arrangement of fate and entered the role.

He respectfully performed a three kowtows and nine bows ceremony to Zhong Qing.

Seeing this, Zhong Qing finally put away the four-hundred-meter long saber.

"Good Disciple, rise!"

"Your Master's name is Zhong Qing, and I am the Peak Master of Immortal River Sect in the Eastern Region!"

"From today onwards, you are my third Disciple."

"Before you, there are Senior Brother Lin Feng and Senior Brother Su Ye."

"Now that you have acknowledged me as your Master, I shall give you a small gift!"

As he spoke, an item appeared in his hand, which was none other than the Overlord Body Inheritance he had exchanged from the Nangong Family when he first arrived in the Northern Region.

At first, Du Hao was somewhat indifferent.

Although his cultivation was not as high as Zhong Qing's.

He had quite a few treasures on him.

He felt that the treasures on Zhong Qing might not necessarily be better than those he had collected.

But as the Overlord Body Inheritance came into his hand, he was instantly stunned.

The Overlord Body Inheritance was a Jade Slip, slightly heavy in his hand.

An ancient and wild aura emanated from it.

This aura could not be faked.

And he himself was a Prodigy of extensive knowledge and strong memory.

He understood what this Legacy represented.

This was a shortcut to the supreme.

With this Legacy in hand, as long as he didn't perish halfway, he would definitely stand at the Peak of the continent in the future.

Its preciousness could drive countless Holy Land crazy.

Yet, such a precious item was given to him by Zhong Qing as a meeting gift.

And he even said it was just a small gift.

"This..."

For a moment, Du Hao felt an endless surge of emotions in his heart.

Too precious!

So precious that he almost doubted if he was dreaming.

"Disciple, quickly receive this Legacy, your Master will protect you!"

Zhong Qing urged from the side.

Du Hao nodded vigorously.

He felt that having such a Master seemed not unacceptable after all.
