In the endless starry sky, in a strange cosmic environment, there is a strange planet.
This planet does not scatter any light, nor can any light from any star shine into it. It is also not like a black hole that can absorb any light source. The situation is so strange that it seems as if this planet does not exist in the starry sky, but there is such a planet.
When the eyes enter the starry sky, they find that this planet is almost exactly the same as an ordinary planet. Not only does it have the sun and the moon, but you can also see bright stars like stars in the starry sky.
The interior of the planet is extremely large, and the environment is different from that of ordinary planets. It seems that this is an extremely backward planet. Not only are there no tall buildings, but there are also no steel bars and concrete, let alone neon lights.
On this planet, all the environments are like ordinary nature that has not been developed.
Even so, if someone knows about this planet, they would not dare to think so, because this planet is the headquarters of the Adventurer's Association, and it is called the Adventurer's Association Headquarters Planet by outsiders.
The headquarters star is a place with towering mountains.
The mountain is more than ten thousand meters high, almost the highest mountain on the planet. The inside of the mountain has been hollowed out and built into a huge underground space.
If you could enter this space, you would find that it is very different from the quiet nature outside, because it is almost like the tall buildings on the outside planets, but they are blocked by the surface of the mountains.
This is the headquarters of the Adventurer's Association.
A conference room.
Three elderly men with white hair and beards were sitting quietly beside a huge conference table. On one side of the table, there were three huge screens. On two of the screens, there were also two elderly men. However, because they usually practiced physical cultivation, no, they should have taken a lot of physical medicines, so their hair and beards were white, but their faces looked like middle-aged people.
At this moment, in the center of the huge conference table, a large screen facing 360 degrees was playing a video in a loop. If Lin Tao was here, he would definitely be surprised after seeing the content of the video, because the video content was exactly the time period when he met with the two envoys, Zhaohui and Grint, on the Salon spacecraft.
Zhaohui's arrogance, Lin Tao's disgust, and the subsequent battle were all fully displayed in the video.
Even Lin Tao's subsequent conversation with Grint and the conditions he proposed were also shown in the video.
No one spoke in the conference room. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the screen. They ignored Zhaohui's arrogance and Lin Tao's disgusted attitude, but showed a different look towards the content of the battle. After the battle, during the communication between Lin Tao and Grint, the five old men frowned again when they heard the conditions for the starry sky pattern proposed by Lin Tao.
Time passed by minute by minute, and I didn't know how many times this video was looped. Every time it was looped, the people present had almost the same expression. No one deliberately paused the video, and no one deliberately extracted the scene they wanted to focus on and observed it carefully.
They watched the video again and again without saying a word, and paid special attention to Lin Tao's every move and every word. And when Lin Tao spoke, they focused their attention on his eyes and facial expressions to judge him.
Moreover, every time the video is played in a loop, they have a new round of different judgments in their hearts.
Time in the outside world passes quickly, and day and night pass in the blink of an eye.
I don’t know how many days and nights had passed, but the three people present, including the other two in the video, stared at the video without blinking.
Phew! Finally, one of the three people let out a long breath. After this person let out a long breath, the video that had been playing in a loop finally stopped and disappeared from the screen.
However, although this video disappeared, another video was played after a while. This video was a video of Lin Tao driving Zero in the starry sky and sinking an entire fleet of battleships with one blow.
It seemed that the people present had watched this video of sinking a fleet many times, so when it was played, although they paid attention, they did not pay too much attention to it.
"After watching it so many times, what is your opinion of Lin Tao?" Among the three people, the one sitting in the middle, who seemed to have a higher status, spoke on the spot.
This person was also the one who let out a long breath and changed the video on the screen.
"This boy is mentally mature. With a little training, he should be able to become a wise man." The speaker was one of the people on the two screens.
Even if Lin Tao met this person in person, he would not recognize him. But if he mentioned the Thunder Stone Core and the Thunder Absorbing Bead, Lin Tao would definitely be able to recognize his identity. He was none other than Zhuo Fan's backer - the great wise man Zhuo Chengdun.
"It's not easy to become a wise man, Zhuo Chengyan, please don't make any comments." The person in the other video immediately expressed a different opinion after hearing Zhuo Chengyan's words.
"Haha~" Zhuo Chengxun laughed: "Chao Hong, you are not selfish towards Lin Tao because of Zhao Hui's matter, right?"
The person in the other video was none other than Chao Hong, a 13th-level telepathic master who worked behind the scenes at Chao Hui. When Zhuo Chengyan spoke, his expression remained unchanged, but his eyes flashed with an imperceptible strange look: "It's inevitable that people have selfish desires. Aren't you, Zhuo Chengyan, also fighting for status for your descendant Zhuo Fan?"
Everyone present was a wise man, and each of them had developed a thick skin as strong as a copper wall. Even if they were exposed, they would not hesitate to hide it, nor would they feel embarrassed. Instead, they would counterattack by finding out the weaknesses of the other party and point them out on the spot.
It has to be said that these experienced guys are not easy to deal with.
The three people present saw Zhuo Chengxun and Chao Hong arguing, and not only did they not try to resolve it, but they watched the quarrel with great interest.
Fortunately, Zhuo Chengyan and Chao Hong only said one sentence each and then nothing more happened, because they also understood that quarreling would not lead to any results, and their target this time was still the young man named Lin Tao in the video.
Seeing that the two stopped arguing, the meeting room fell silent again. The wise man of high status opened his lips expressionlessly and said, "This time, I want to know your judgment on Lin Tao."
"This person's body-refining technique is somewhat familiar, but I forgot where I had seen it for a moment. However, I am sure that this is definitely not the body-refining technique in our area." At this time, a great wise man present spoke up.
"Well~ I also feel that this body refining technique is somewhat familiar. It seems that I have fought against the owner before, but it has been a long time and even I have forgotten where I saw it." Another great wise man spoke.
The two people who spoke had similar faces and seemed to be related. After they finished speaking, they couldn't help but look at each other, and saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.
"Zhuo Chengdun, I have heard that you have had contact with this boy." Chao Hong suddenly spoke.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes fell on Zhuo Chengxun.
"It can't be considered as contact." Zhuo Chengxun said maturely: "Zhuo Fan went to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire this time to find the whereabouts of a bug man. For this purpose, he once entered the Despair Planet of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and met this guy there."
"According to Zhuo Fan's report, this guy has considerable strength. Not only did he help the people of Despair Star to eliminate the bugs, but he also killed a bug man on the spot."
"Based on various inferences, I determined that this boy had certain potential as a wise man, so I gave him a thunder stone core. With the strength of a sixth-level mind master, this boy killed the ninth prince who was protected by a seventh-level mind master in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. I suspected that he used the energy of the thunder stone core at that time, so I asked Greent to bring a thunder-absorbing bead to help him repair the thunder stone core."
After hearing Zhuo Chengdun's words, the two wise men with similar faces present couldn't help but look at each other, and their eyes lit up with a strange light, as if they had a great interest in Lin Tao because of the fact that Lin Tao killed the Ninth Prince.
Similarly, because of this incident, the two of them seemed to have developed a good impression of Lin Tao.
"However, after watching the video, I think that Lin Tao was able to kill a seventh-level telepathic master. Although it is possible that he relied on the power of the thunder stone core, his body refining skills are also not weak. Otherwise, how could he hurt a seventh-level telepathic master of the same thunder type with one move?" Zhuo Chengxun said.
As soon as these words were spoken, even though Chao Hong had maintained his usual expression, it couldn't help but change slightly. After all, Chao Hui was still his grandson, and he didn't feel good in his heart that such an embarrassing thing was brought up again and again.
As soon as Zhuo Chengdun finished speaking, the wise men present, except for the man of high status, the other two also looked at Chao Hong with mocking eyes, which made him snort coldly on the spot.
Even so, Chao Hong still maintained his composure and did not speak easily.
"Today's topic is Lin Tao. Since everyone has a good impression of him, what do you think of his proposal regarding the advancement of the starry sky pattern?" asked a great wise man of high status with a solemn expression.
This was a very special question. Even though they had a good impression of Lin Tao, the two wise men with similar faces suddenly fell silent. Even Zhuo Chengdun fell into silence.
After all, there are not many people in this starry sky who can master the star patterns. Including them, the number will definitely not exceed three digits, and there are even fewer people who can reach their level of knowledge.
"It is not impossible to let him study the Starry Sky Pattern, but before that, he should fully demonstrate his potential as a wise man so that we can know his development potential. Otherwise, it would be unwise to train him in vain." Zhuo Chengxun spoke first. Although he also had a good impression of Lin Tao, he was not vague at the critical moment.
It is precisely because of this that one can sit on the position of this great wise man.
After Zhuo Chengxun finished speaking, he stated on the spot: "According to my order, my grandson Zhuo Fan is dealing with a bug man in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Now is the right time for us to take this opportunity to have a comprehensive understanding of Lin Tao. If he can show the side we expect, it is not impossible to allocate some resources and train him a little bit."
"The insect people from the Black Dragon Mountain Empire?"
"This is an opportunity. If there is real potential for cultivation, it should be visible in front of that insect man."
The two wise men with similar faces nodded. Chao Hong didn't like Lin Tao very much, but he didn't let his selfish thoughts go when talking about this. Instead, he nodded in response.
