If Zhongli can defeat Adam, it will bring honor to China.
"We'll have to ask that kid."
If he wants to hit me, I don't care.
If he doesn't want to, we'll definitely take him away.
The old pope had no objection to this.
In the old pope's view, Zhongli would definitely agree.
After all, he also had a lot of information about Zhongli.
He is fond of martial arts and combative.
However, this one point means he won't refuse to fight Adam.
……
The central battlefield of the Iron Tower Nation.
Zhongli and Adam watched as the ethereal hand was torn apart.
After a period of time, the terrorist domains that covered the entire globe were reclaimed by their respective entities.
The turbulent sky returned to calm.
The two knew that the strongest beings had not yet engaged in combat.
They probably discussed some terms and then each took back their territory.
Seeing this, Zhongli looked at Adam helplessly.
"It seems we won't be able to fight this time."
That's such a pity.
Adam shook his head, looking at the fist holding the brass knuckles.
"If it were me in the past, I might have regretted not being able to fight you."
But right now, I don't like fighting.
He actually prefers staying home with his wife.
He used to be a battle maniac.
But after mimicking Adam, his combative personality transformed into that of a good husband.
perhaps……
This must be the price of gaining power.
Listening to Adam's incomprehensible words, Zhongli couldn't understand how someone's personality could change so drastically.
He might have turned to the dark side.
However, seeing that Adam had no fighting spirit, Zhongli prepared to leave.
"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now."
With that said, he was about to turn around and leave.
But at that moment, the space where Zhongli and Adam were located seemed to have been hit by a terrifying blow.
The space collapsed and shattered instantly.
The speed at which they were broken apart was so great that neither of them had time to react before they were sucked in.
Then, everything blurred before my eyes, and I was back in my original position.
It is still in the central region of the Iron Tower Country.
It is still a shattered battlefield.
The large hole that Adam shattered is still overflowing with seawater.
It's as if nothing has changed.
But both Zhongli and Adam could see the space they were in.
It is no longer the original space.
Because neither of them could sense any life in this space.
Even if the perception extends beyond the central area, no signs of life can be detected.
It was as if this were a deserted world.
This unexpected situation put both of them on high alert.
But in the next moment.
The old celestial master and the old pope appeared beside Zhongli and Adam respectively, whispering to each other.
……
The old master sized up Zhongli, noting his handsome and extraordinary face and the confidence that emanated from within.
He patted Zhongli on the shoulder with a smile.
"Don't be nervous, kid."
I am Xiao Jinglan's ancestor.
You can call me the Celestial Master.
Upon learning that the person before him was Zhang Jinglan's ancestor.
Zhongli was taken aback.
Unexpectedly, he met the strongest person in the Celestial Empire.
Regarding Zhang Jinglan's ancestor.
He had already heard Zhang Jinglan mention it.
He knew who it was, but this was the first time he had ever seen the person.
Zhongli immediately clasped his hands in a respectful gesture.
"Zhongli, a junior, has met the Celestial Master."
Many thanks to the Old Master for stepping in for us younger generations.
Chapter 213 The First Meeting Between the Old Celestial Master and Zhongli, The Miserly Old Pope, [The World Between Us].
He was neither impolite nor impatient when meeting Zhongli.
The old celestial master chuckled and patted Zhongli on the shoulder with satisfaction.
"Zhongli, don't be shy."
I've heard Jinglan, that little girl, always praising how amazing you are.
"Upon meeting you in person today, even this old Taoist priest admitted his inferiority."
I'm not kidding.
Although he did not develop supernatural powers related to eyes.
However, due to their higher level of cultivation and the special nature of the strongest individuals.
When encountering Zhongli.
I sensed something special about its body.
For example, the 25 supernatural meridians within Zhongli's body.
This means that Zhongli possesses 25 supernatural powers.
Simply appalling.
The most gifted innate superhuman being known to date.
Compared to Zhongli, they are utter trash.
No wonder they were able to achieve this in just one month.
From an ordinary person, he leaped to become the strongest among the younger generation.
With such a large number of supernatural powers, how could it not be strong?
However, he could also sense it.
Although Zhongli possessed many supernatural abilities, most of them did not align with his innate great supernatural powers.
It is clearly a supernatural power obtained through special means.
Moreover, most of their supernatural abilities are still in the undeveloped stage.
Only a handful have been developed.
Zhongli is completely, and it is also a top-quality jade that has been carved.
Otherwise, their strength would be at least dozens of times greater than it is now.
Comparable to some weak but supremely powerful beings.
However, the old master could understand.
Zhongli rose to prominence in just one month.
Ultimately, the spiritual practice and accumulation of knowledge are too few.
It is truly remarkable that we have achieved what we have today.
"Old Master, you are joking. How can I compare to you now?"
We still need to work much harder.
Zhongli naturally couldn't take the old master's humility seriously.
After all, the gap is visible to the naked eye.
"Haha, alright, no need for formalities."
Let's talk about what's happening now.
The old master was increasingly pleased with Zhongli's humility and composure.
He was relieved that his granddaughter hadn't chosen the wrong person.
But now is not the time for casual conversation.
So the old master first explained how the old pope wanted Joan of Arc and Jeanne d'Arc to be saints.
It also explains that one must fight Adam to win it.
After explaining, the old master spoke to Zhongli again.
"How about it?
Shall we have a duel with that Adam kid?
"If you don't want to, this old Taoist priest can still protect you and help you get back."
After listening to the old master's explanation, Zhongli's eyes lit up.
"Fighting Adam is no problem for me."
Zhongli, who reveres martial prowess, never refuses to fight against the strong.
After all, what he was pursuing was power.
Power is for fighting.
The power without the ability to fight is empty.
As for accidentally losing to Black and White Joan of Arc?
Zhongli had never imagined it.
With two great supernatural powers and 25 other supernatural abilities, how could he possibly lose?
