Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal
Chapter 43 Invitation

Upon entering Tian Nan University, Alkaid had already activated the Perception Secret Technique, quietly searching for any abnormal individuals that might appear.

As a densely populated area, such places theoretically harbored quite a few demons.

But...

As Alkaid made his rounds, he found nothing of note.

"Master Alkaid, please, this way,"

Lei Yun said, adding, "Since you mentioned not to draw attention, I didn't notify anyone."

Alkaid nodded.

After getting out of the car and following Lei Yun, they headed toward the venue of the robotics competition.

The competition was held at the main sports ground.

Given the importance Tian Nan University placed on this event, it naturally attracted the attention of many students.

Following the crowd, Alkaid quickly arrived at the outskirts of the event.

He glanced toward the judges' seats but didn't spot Chief Zhou's figure.

"Chief Zhou's car has arrived, but he might still be inside, which is why he hasn't come out..."

Lei Yun explained.

No sooner had she finished speaking than a group of middle-aged men, looking like leaders, walked toward the judges' seats surrounded by a crowd.

Having seen videos, Alkaid immediately recognized Chief Zhou.

However, as he carefully sensed...

He didn't feel anything unusual about the old man.

"Could it not be?"

Alkaid thought to himself.

He followed the crowd to a spot not far from Chief Zhou.

His perception, having reached the Fifth Rank of Divine Intent, enabled him to discern a person's strength and even the flow of their life force from the smallest details.

After his careful observation...

He had to admit something.

Chief Zhou was just an old man in his sixties.

Probably one or two years away from retiring and going home to enjoy his old age.

Moreover, he likely had some deficiencies in vigor and insufficient cardiac strength.

Understanding this, Alkaid quietly "sensed" again.

Indeed, there wasn't a single abnormal individual in the vicinity.

Eventually, he withdrew his gaze and turned around.

"Let's go."

Lei Yun, puzzled, still obediently followed him to the car.

Su Chiming had given Alkaid three cars in one go.

An SUV, a family car, and a sports car.

Considering they were at Tian Nan University, where there were many young people, Lei Yun was driving the SUV.

And the cars Su Chiming provided were naturally no simple matter.

This SUV was worth over three million on the market.

At that moment, several young students were taking photos in front of the car.

When Lei Yun pressed the car key, Alkaid turned his attention aside.

Zhang Rufeng, whom he had met before, along with the once-encountered Zhang Hong and another middle-aged man, came over.

Alkaid's gaze fell on the middle-aged man first.

The aura about him...

Was strange.

Like fierce fire searing oil, intensely burning.

This state of burning kept his body perpetually at some sort of limit.

This feeling...

It reminded him of his own Star Pointing Technique.

The Star Pointing Technique also instantly stimulated the potential of life, pushing oneself beyond limits.

Although their natures differed, both belonged to the category that made one abnormally powerful.

And the human body has its limits.

Maintaining this state amounted to overextending one's potential.

Like the middle-aged man...

Maintaining this state, he might live another ten or eight years at most.

If he often fought with others, with his vigor bursting forth time and again, his lifespan would be further reduced.

As Alkaid scrutinized the middle-aged man, he had already approached Alkaid.

"Su Alkaid."

Upon seeing him, Lei Yun's face changed in an instant, "Zhang Tianji!?"

Zhang Tianji!

The Grandmaster of the Zhang Family.

A rebellious youth expelled by the Zhang Family, he demonstrated Grandmaster-level strength after a decade and was invited back by the Family Head to acknowledge his lineage and return to the family.

"Grandmaster?"

Alkaid looked at Zhang Tianji.

He carefully sensed...

In a real fight, Zhang Tianji, in this state, indeed did not fall short of a Grandmaster.

He was even stronger than the ordinary Grandmaster.

Those unaware...

Even other Grandmasters, feeling the fierce vigor he could manifest, would regard him as a peer at the same realm of strength.

But this "Grandmaster" strength...

Exchanged for life?

"You are quite remarkable."

Zhang Tianji looked at Alkaid, who faced him composedly, and nodded appreciatively, "If I'm not mistaken, your Martial Path cultivation has reached the martial master level of Muscle-Tendon Strengthening, hasn't it?"

He appeared to be asking, but he was actually utterly convinced of his own judgment.

"Zhang Hong told me that you had once demonstrated a secret technique in front of him, shaking the lungs and causing dizziness and ringing in the ears. He, with his limited experience, thought that only someone physically strong could perform such a secret technique, but I know that executing one requires a solid foundation."

The Grandmaster from the Zhang Family said confidently with a smile, "Moreover, the moment you returned to the Su Family, Su Chiming immediately took special care of you, let you choose a villa in Yuyuan, and assigned you a position in the External Affairs Hall to form a combat squad... All these signs point to one possibility: at merely nineteen, you have already become a martial master!

You have shown incredible talent in the Martial Path, and becoming a Grandmaster in the future is hopeful!"

After speaking, he exclaimed with emotion, "He is cultivating you as a future Grandmaster."

Lei Yun, standing by, although surprised by the Zhang Family's intelligence capabilities, didn't replace it particularly strange considering many things couldn't be concealed.

Only...

Her gaze at him was somewhat peculiar.

However, Alkaid, with no change in his expression, asked, "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"Impressive composure."

This scene once again made Zhang Tianji praise him, "Among the youngsters, it is very rare to remain unflustered even if 'Mount Tai collapses before your eyes.' For this alone, you truly deserve the title of a young talent."

After finishing, he spoke straightforwardly, "You might not know who I am. Although your mother, Zhang Ya, and I are not biological siblings, we had the best relationship when we were young. The reason I left the Zhang Family was because I was dissatisfied that they stood by when your mother was bullied by Su Huaifeng. But now that I am back, no one can bully you all anymore."

He extended his hand, inviting, "Come back. I don't plan to marry or have children in this lifetime. You are Zhang Ya's child, and in the future, I will treat you as if you were my own son."

Alkaid glanced at him.

The issue with this Grandmaster from the Zhang Family wasn't about wanting or not wanting to have children, but rather...

Whether he could.

However, this wasn't important.

"Not interested."

Alkaid said to Lei Yun, "Let's go."

After speaking, he walked straight toward his car.

"Alkaid."

Zhang Tianji called out again, "Do you want to break through to become a Grandmaster in a short period of time!?"

The Grandmaster said solemnly, "As long as you are willing to return to the Zhang Family and become a member, I can use the credits I've accumulated over the years to apply for a precious Grandmaster achievement slot from the president for you!"

"A Grandmaster like you?"

Alkaid glanced at him.

He shook his head.

Zhang Tianji was slightly taken aback, and then his pupils narrowed, "What do you know?"

"Isn't it obvious? I figured it out with just one look."

"Look!?"

Zhang Tianji looked at Alkaid and seemed to think of something, his expression somewhat surprised.

The next moment, he circulated his qi and blood, allowing it to flow.

And almost as soon as his qi and blood began to flow, Alkaid's gaze involuntarily followed the trajectory.

This abnormality sparked an unprecedented brilliance in Zhang Tianji's eyes.

"A natural marvel!?"

He couldn't help but exclaim aloud.

Alkaid paid no further attention to Zhang Tianji and was about to leave.

But at this moment, Zhang Tianji, filled with excitement, blocked his way, "Alkaid! Great lad! No wonder you managed to become a martial master in such a short time. You are simply... a natural Martial Saint seed! You even have a better chance than others to climb to the God Realm and become one of the strongest of this era, to stand against those..."

As he spoke, he said solemnly, "No matter what, joining us is the best choice for you!"

At that moment, Alkaid seemed to think of something and suddenly asked, "Could it be... that your organization also possesses some kind of refining technique?"

"Hmm!?"

A movement stirred in Zhang Tianji's heart, "Has someone reached out to you?"

Then, he seemed to make a connection, "Indeed, even with your talent, it would be impossible to cultivate to this level so quickly without the guidance of a stronger power... Who was it? Xia Wuyuan? Feng Dong?"

"Xia Wuyuan?"

Alkaid had thought that the organization behind Zhang Tianji was related to Yulong International and possessed a refining technique similar to Divine Blood.

If that were the case...

He would naturally be willing to join, and then root them all out, taking them down one by one.

But hearing him mention Xia Wuyuan...

It seemed not to be the case.

"Whether joining you or the Zhang Family, I must first understand your organization,"

Alkaid said.

"Our organization..."

Zhang Tianji pondered for a moment, considering Alkaid's identity, and said solemnly, "is called the Salvation Society."

He looked at Alkaid and said, "Believe me, joining us, you will have no regrets!"

He paused, then continued, "Only by joining us can you truly fulfill your potential. In the future... not to mention becoming a Martial Saint, even ascending to the God Realm is not a vain hope."

"You at least need to let me understand the nature of the Salvation Society,"

Alkaid said.

"Someone will contact you and explain the aims of our Salvation Society in detail,"

Zhang Tianji said.

He did not forget the mission he carried, "As long as you are willing to join us, I can promise you any conditions, even if you want the entire Zhang Family, I can give it to you."

Lei Yun glanced at Zhang Tianji.

The Zhang Family relied solely on Zhang Tianji's influence to develop rapidly in these years, making his promise...

Far from weightless.

"Then let's get to know each other better before making a conclusion,"

Alkaid nodded and turned to leave.
