Han Shuo laughed and said, "Don't worry, Brother Wang, I'll transfer the money to you tomorrow." He was in a very good mood at the moment, because his lover now had hope of survival.
A slight smile appeared on Han Yue's pale face as she said, "Brother Wang, you are so strong, how come we've never heard of you in Tianxing?"
Wang Hao waved his hand, not wanting to discuss it further, and instead changed the subject, saying, "Since you two are from Tianxing, could you tell me what Tianxing is like?"
Upon hearing this, Han Shuo immediately realized that Wang Hao had not yet been to Tianxing, so he smiled and said, "Tianxing is only about one-third developed now, but it is incredibly prosperous."
"Among them are five academies established by five major powers: China's Dragon and Phoenix Academy, the Tsar's Academy of the Saudi Arabian Empire, the Yin-Yang Academy of the island nation, the Angel Academy of the United States, and the Samsung Academy of South Korea."
"Those who travel from the wasteland to Tianxing are all disciples selected by various academies. Once they arrive in Tianxing, they will go directly to their respective academies to report for duty."
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow, surprised that Tianxing was like this. The five academies were the martial arts holy lands that people talked about, and each of them had a Heavenly Realm expert standing behind it.
“Brother Wang, if you want to go to Tianxing, I can help with the introduction, but I can’t guarantee that you will be able to enter the Dragon and Phoenix Academy, because they only accept people who practice martial arts.” Han Shuo didn’t make any absolute statements.
By the time Han Shuo and Han Yue left, it was already late at night. However, the two were clearly in much better spirits, unlike before when they had worried expressions on their faces.
The next morning, Wang Hao went directly to the residence of his old colleague Liu Jinlin. His old colleague preferred peace and quiet and had a secluded courtyard outside the city. He was practicing boxing in the morning.
"Old Liu, has the cauldron I ordered arrived yet?" Wang Hao asked loudly as soon as he entered the door, but the next second, he was stunned to see the mess in Old Liu's yard.
Upon hearing this, Liu Jinlin withdrew his fist, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked at Wang Hao in front of him. He was immediately furious and shouted, "Why did you fill in my address when you were auctioning off this item?"
"Last night, I was sleeping soundly when suddenly two people appeared and started stabbing me in the face with daggers. If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would be dead by now!"
Wang Hao was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that even though he had taken precautions, someone would actually dare to launch a sneak attack based on the address. At the same time, he was amazed at how skilled his old colleague was.
"Isn't this good? Let you stretch your muscles and bones. By the way, where's my cauldron?"
Liu Jinlin was trembling with anger. He told Wang Hao that the item was in the backyard and that he should quickly take the broken cauldron and disappear from his sight.
Wang Hao didn't mind and jogged into the backyard. There, he saw a pale yellow cauldron with rust on it, standing quietly in the center of the backyard. It didn't look special at all.
With three legs and two handles, it exudes an ancient aura. The body of the cauldron is engraved with many mysterious and difficult-to-understand ancient runes, and the inside of the cauldron is full of dust and wood chips, indicating that it has never been cleaned.
"It seems that Tianxing has really given up on this cauldron. The reason why someone came to assassinate it is probably because of people from the black market who wanted to double-cross it."
Wang Hao called a moving company, and they could send someone over to move things in a bit. Just then, his old colleague walked over and said in an annoyed tone, "You're really something else."
"Old Liu, I was just thinking about safety. Besides, you're all fine now. By the way, do you have any leads on who hired the Red Moon Organization to assassinate me?"
Wang Hao chuckled and thought that if he were to auction off items in the future, he would fill in his old colleague's address, which would be safe and secure.
Liu Jinlin took a few deep breaths of fresh air to calm himself down and said, "It should be a powerful family in the wasteland, but we haven't found out exactly who it is yet."
"We already have a lead, let's wait a bit longer. By the way, do you want to consider going to Tianxing? In three months, all the major academies and holy sites on Tianxing will begin recruiting students."
"Since you have mastered the useless technique, staying here is a waste of time. You might as well prepare to go to Tianxing and receive systematic training."
Wang Hao raised an eyebrow and said with some surprise, "Isn't Tianxing a sacred place for martial arts? Can people who practice useless techniques also enter the academy to cultivate?"
Liu Jinlin shook his head and said, "What you're talking about are the five great martial arts holy lands. What I'm talking about is the academy founded by the number one cultivator who can rival the Heavenly Realm experts."
"There are geniuses who cultivate useless techniques inside. Although this path seems to be a dead end, the ruins of Tianxing have not been completely excavated, so there is still hope for useless techniques."
"This abandoned art academy called Burning Lamp is the only cultivation academy. Its system is somewhat similar to that of ancient sects, which is quite suitable for you."
Wang Hao remained silent. The ruins of Tianxing were the origin of martial arts, but many incomplete cultivation techniques were also found inside, which was truly puzzling.
"And your little girlfriend, her martial arts aptitude is A+, and she has long been targeted by the higher-ups of the Dragon Phoenix Academy. The reason she is still able to stay safely on Earth is because of that."
"It's because there's a powerful figure who's been suppressing the academy's higher-ups, but it's estimated that it won't be long before that person can't hold back anymore, and then she'll have to go to Tianxing."
"Moreover, the news of her marriage to the Li family of Tianxing has already spread. This involves the face of a large family, and strength is the most important factor in preventing such a thing from happening."
"But strength alone is not enough to contend with the Li family of Tianxing. At this point, you need to borrow strength, and whose strength to borrow and how to borrow it depends on how much potential you have."
"The best way, of course, is for you to display your powerful talent for seemingly useless techniques within the Burning Lamp Academy, attracting the Dean's attention. Then the Li family of Tianxing will naturally be no problem. Think about it carefully."
Liu Jinlin revealed a lot of information in one go, which made Wang Hao's mood much heavier. Recently, he had been quite complacent because of his continuous breakthroughs in cultivation.
The assassination attempt on him by the Earthly Clan and the covetous gaze of the Tianxing Li Family—neither of these two families is something he can currently contend with.
"Thank you for the reminder, Elder Liu." After a moment, Wang Hao slowly exhaled a breath of hot air. These words were Liu Jinlin's heartfelt advice, which instantly sobered him up considerably.
The crisis has always been there, but because the previous commotion was too great, it has been lying dormant, hidden in the shadows, like a venomous snake waiting for its chance to strike. As soon as the opportunity arises, it will launch a thunderous attack.
Liu Jinlin nodded in satisfaction. This kid was a promising talent, achieving so much at such a young age. He didn't want Wang Hao to ruin his bright future because of his arrogance.
Not long after, Wang Hao and the moving company people carried the earthen cauldron to his residence. Before leaving, Wang Hao also took some traditional Chinese medicine from his old colleague.
Liu Jinlin looked at his treasured herb cabinet, which was already more than half empty, and his blood pressure immediately spiked.
"Don't be angry, don't be angry. Just consider it as training a disciple to make a name for this useless technique..."
"Chitu, come to my place right away, bring some blood pressure medication..."
