"Ah Shou, what are you looking at me like that for?" Teng Qing Shan looked at the fierce beast boy, and at this moment, the expression on the fierce beast boy's face made Teng Qing Shan somewhat astonished. The fierce beast boy had been following him all the way from Dan Yang City, and it had already been a good many days. But he had never used such eyes to look at himself before.

  There is a hint of longing in his eyes, and also a hint of hesitation...

  "Mr. Teng!" Fu Dao walked over.

  Teng Qing Shan turned his head to look at the Thunder Blade Saint 'Fu Dao', Fu Dao's face was still full of joy, and he bowed his body saying: "Before meeting you, sir, I had already thought that my knife skills had reached the extreme! It cannot be improved any further. I also thought that there were only a few people in the world who could surpass me. Now I know that there are still strong people like you, sir, who hide their name and fame, and remain unknown! The kindness of your guidance, I, Fu Dao, will never dare to forget."

  "Your swordsmanship is nearly flawless." Teng Qing Shan said.

  Fu Dao was taken aback.

  "Skill is still a technique!" Teng Qing Shan said, "As the saying goes, skill advances to the way! You have reached the pinnacle of technique, and what's next is the 'way'! What you need to break through now is to find your own way! When your way has some accomplishment, you will become a war god-level strong!"

  On the continent of Duanmu.

  Those who were born strong are called 'Saints', 'Martial Saints'.

  And the strong in the void are called 'God', 'War God'.

  Only those who have reached the realm of the strongest can be revered as 'Gods'.

  "Skill is approaching the Tao...my Tao?" Fu Dao muttered to himself, and immediately his eyes cleared up again. He bowed once more, "I dare not disturb your rest, sir. I'll take my leave first!"

  Hong Qingshan nodded slightly.

  Looking at Fu Dao, Teng Qing Shan seemed to have also seen the self that was pursuing 'Dao'. He and Fu Dao were not much different, the only difference being... Fu Dao had yet to gain any insight into 'Dao', while he himself had already walked a certain distance on the path of 'Dao'.

  Not far from stepping into the void.

  "Sir, that flying beast!" Fu Dao exclaimed in surprise, looking up at the Gyrfalcon on top of the carriage, "Is it yours too?"

  "Teng Qing Shan also took a glance at Kuang Feng Ying."

  Fu Dao exclaimed: "Sir is indeed an extraordinary person, able to make a fierce demon beast listen to his commands. I, Fu Dao, know many of the strong people in the world and also know that there are only a few people who can control demon beasts. But I have never heard of Sir before." Fu Dao's admiration for Teng Qing Shan grew even more.

  Generally, when one reaches the Innate Void Core, or just enters the Martial Sage realm, their name will spread far and wide.

  Reaching the Innate Golden Elixir, I'm afraid every major family in the world will know about this person.

  Ke Heng Qing Shan's reputation is not prominent, but in Fu Dao's eyes... this is the real hidden world powerhouse.

  "Admiration, admiration!" Fu Dao immediately mounted the camel and shouted "Forward!"

  The camel beast galloped away and disappeared at the end of the road.

  "Brother Teng." Li Kun's face was full of joy, "This is the Thunder Blade Saint, considered a top-notch expert on the Duanmu Continent. He was defeated by you in just one move! In my opinion, there shouldn't be anyone on the Duanmu Continent who surpasses Brother Teng."

  "Xiao Juan, don't underestimate others." Teng Qing Shan shook his head and said.

  "Uncle, look at Old Man Wang." Little Ping smiled.

  Teng Qing Shan turned his head to look, at this moment Old Wang blinked, took a deep breath, calmed the shock in his heart, and looked at Teng Qing Shan with a bitter smile: "Boss, you don't have to be humble. You won against Lei Dao Wu Sheng! This is not an ordinary Wu Sheng. Moreover, you only used one move to win. Unfortunately, there are no other people around, if it were in the public eye, this news would definitely spread at a terrible speed throughout the entire continent. At that time, Boss, your name will be known by everyone!"

  "Lao Wang, is there a powerful warrior in this world?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  "There should be." Old Wang hesitated somewhat.

  "What is supposed to be?" Teng Qing Shan laughed, "If it's there, then it's there. If it's not, then it's not!"

  Old Wang smiled self-deprecatingly: "Boss, I'm just an ordinary martial artist, not even a congenital strongman. How many secrets can I know? The Duanmu continent has four domains and thirty-six main cities, with some big families that have been passed down for thousands of years. Even some fallen families are hiding on islands or in certain mountains, it's really hard to figure out the hidden strongmen."

  "But outside rumors, the number one family of Duanmu Continent, 'Tianfeng Family', has a war god-level strong person! Of course, this Tianfeng Family is also the overlord of Beihandu. Moreover, according to legend, that war god-level strong person lives in one of the three major danger zones, 'Tianfeng Canyon'!"

  As soon as this was said, Li Kun and Xiao Ping were both shocked.

  "Rumors have it, but is it true or false?"

  "It's said so outside, it should be true."

  Teng Qing Shan fell silent, and he also knew something about Duanmu Continent. The core of the entire world was the 'Nine States Continent', and since Yu Huang forged the Nine Tripod Cauldrons to shock the origin of heaven and earth, there had been almost no disasters on the Nine States Continent.

  The continent of Katan is plagued by disasters!

  The three most notorious places are

  One of the 'Flame Territory' in the Donghua Domain, this Flame Territory is a volcanic eruption zone. The 800-mile Flame Territory has volcanoes one after another, and it's possible that the Flame Territory will have a volcanic eruption at any time! At the shortest, there are several eruptions in a year. The longest interval between two volcanic eruptions is only eight years!

  Two is Yunmengze in the Western Tang Domain, three thousand miles of Yunmengze, which should be the largest range among the three major danger zones, almost occupying more than half of the entire Western Tang Domain. Inside Yunmengze, crises are lurking everywhere, even strong men at the level of Martial Saints dare not venture into it recklessly.

  Three as the northern cold domain's 'Tianfeng Gorge', this Tianfeng Gorge is the coldest place in the entire Duanmu Continent! The cold air blowing from the gorge entrance can freeze a post-heavenly peak strongman to death in just a few breaths! Without a Martial Saint level, it's impossible to enter the gorge. And an ancient family occupies this Tianfeng Gorge, this family is also known as the 'Tianfeng Family'. As of now, the number one family in the entire Duanmu Continent!

  "War God, residing in the Tianfeng Gorge?" Teng Qing Mountain nodded secretly, "This family is almost unified in the North Cold Domain, and it's the first family of Duanmu Continent. It would be strange if there wasn't any reliance."

  "Besides him, it's said that there is another war god-level expert in this world!" Old Wang said mysteriously.

  "Who is it?" Li Kun asked with a smile.

  "I've just heard about it." Old Wang shook his head and said.

  Hong Qing Shan laughed, "The Dongmu Continent has a population of only 2-3 billion. My hometown Yangzhou is also one of the nine states. The population is also around 2-3 billion. As for the strong practitioners in the Void Realm, there are only two: the Blind Sword Saint from Qinghu Island and that person from my Returning Origin Sect! I estimate that there are probably only one or two on this Dongmu Continent!"

  After all, it was the land where the strongest were born, and Teng Qing Shan didn't dare to underestimate the residents of Duanmu Continent.

  "Xiao Jin." Teng Qing Shan looked at the ferocious youth, "Ask him what he wants to do! Since I defeated Fu Dao earlier, he's been staring at me."

  "Ah Shou!" Li Kun also turned his head and let out a low growl towards the fierce beast boy.

  The ferocious beast youth looked at Li Kun, letting out low growls one after another, seemingly very anxious.

  "Huh?" Li Kun was taken aback.

  "What's wrong?" asked Teng Qing Shan.

  Li Kun looked at Teng Qing Shan with a strange expression: "Teng big brother, didn't I always tell Ah Shou to let Ah Shou call you his teacher?"

  "What did he say?" Teng Qing Shan nodded repeatedly, but his heart was filled with suppressed excitement.

  Isn't it hard?

  This little beast has finally agreed to acknowledge me as its master? Teng Qing Shan had tried every possible means to get the ferocious beast boy to acknowledge him as his master. However, for a stubborn and obstinate ferocious beast boy like this one, Teng Qing Shan could only declare that he would temporarily take this ferocious beast boy with him. Let's see who can outlast whom!

  Such a good apprentice, Teng Qing Shan couldn't bear to give up.

  "A'rou just told me he's willing to acknowledge you as his teacher." Li Kun was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

  "Really?" Teng Qing Shan's face couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression as he looked at the fierce beast boy who was still staring at him with a cold face, "How did he suddenly agree?"

  Li Kun's expression was strange: "I just asked him, he said... that guy with the knife on his back is more powerful than the old man in the army before. And you are more powerful than that guy with the knife! And Ah Shou said, he wants to be as powerful as you. So... he wants to make you his teacher."

  "What nonsense is this?" Teng Qing Shan cried out in laughter and tears.

  Who is more powerful?

  Xiao Ping cleverly connected the dots: "Ah, Uncle, I understand! The Xu said commercial army is escorting slaves. And that Mu officer is the leader of the army, and he's very respectful to Fu Dao. And Fu Dao just lost to you, Uncle, and is also very respectful to you, even calling you 'sir'. This Ah Shou must have suffered a lot at the hands of slave escorts in the past, now he wants to be as powerful as you."

  "That makes sense." Li Kun nodded.

  "What's the logic?" Teng Qing Shan cried and laughed, "I was outside Dan Yang City before, wasn't it that Fang Family's cavalry dared to lie on the ground? My strength, he should have known long ago, why didn't he ask me to be his master at that time?"

  "A beast's head is different from ordinary people." Li Kun couldn't help but smile.

  Hong Qing Shan looked at the ferocious-looking young man with a scowl on his face and sighed inwardly. His own disciple, who was skilled in fighting and killing to the point of being self-taught and had reached the realm of perfect harmony between body and mind. But... in terms of normal thinking and logic, he was just like an ignorant child.

  And even more stubborn than kids!

  "Xiao Jin, tell him to kneel down and pay his respects as a disciple." Teng Qing Shan said.

  "Alright." Li Kun immediately replied.

  The ferocious beast youth looked at Li Kun with a pitiful expression, he had never kowtowed before and didn't know how to do it. Under Li Kun's guidance, the ferocious beast youth finally understood the key to the action, first kneeling down, then putting his hands on the ground and banging his head against the ground!

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Three real kowtows! After finishing three, he actually prepared to continue kowtowing.

  "Whoa~~" Li Kun reminded him, and the fierce beast boy finally stopped.

  Hong Qingshan rubbed his forehead, oh heavens, even kowtowing needs to be taught, teaching such a disciple will probably be very hard in the future.

  "From today on, I am your teacher and you are my disciple! Remember, whatever the teacher tells you to do, you must do. Whatever the teacher doesn't allow you to do, you absolutely cannot do." Teng Qing Shan could only use stern methods, while Li Kun also conveyed Teng Qing Shan's meaning to the ferocious young beast beside him.

  The ferocious beast crouched down, letting out a low growl, as if listening to Qing Shan's words.

  A faint smile appeared on Hong Qing's face.

  "You have no name, no surname. From today on, you'll take my surname. You've grown up with wild beasts since childhood. Let's call you Teng Shou." Teng Qing Shan said with a faint smile, while Li Kun explained to the fierce beast-like boy and even repeated the pronunciation of "Teng Shou".

  "Heng...hou..." The ferocious beast-like boy managed to utter these two words, but the pronunciation of 'beast' was always off.

  "Awesome!" The fierce beast boy exclaimed excitedly.

  He finally has a name!

  From then on, a young man who grew up in a group of wild beasts 'Teng Beast' became the first disciple under Teng Qing Shan!
