The sound of the heart rate monitor echoed in the ward. Shen Qingzhu opened the ward door and walked into the corridor outside.
"How's it going?" Lin Qiye stood up and asked.
"My life is temporarily out of danger."
The expressions of Lin Qiye and others softened a bit, and Baili Pangpang couldn't help but sigh:
"I didn't expect that the ninth seat who acted righteously was actually an undercover agent. I thought he was just stupid..."
Cao Yuan on the side rolled his eyes silently, "Do you think everyone else is the same as you?"
"???Lao Cao, are you drifting again? How about we find a place to compare notes?"
The corners of Cao Yuan's mouth twitched slightly, "Just wait for me for two days."
"Wait two days? What can I do if I wait two days for you...huh?" Baili Pangpang suddenly thought of something and looked at Cao Yuan suspiciously, "You don't know how to make a breakthrough, are you?"
"When I was training in the warehouse before, I had already touched the threshold. After this battle, this feeling became even stronger..." Cao Yuan looked down at his hands, "I already had a premonition that in just these two days,
I'm about to break through."
"Um...Old Cao, I was joking with you just now, hehehe..."
Just kidding... It's okay to fight across a different realm. If we were in the same realm, who would dare to challenge Cao Yuan in a crazy state head-on?
Well, except for me, Sister Lan.
"Cough cough cough..."
A slight cough came from the other side of the seat. Lin Qiye and others turned around and saw Zhou Ping sitting silently in the corner, lowering his head and coughing.
"Senior Sword Master, why don't you also register and practice some training?" Lin Qiye said with some worry.
Zhou Ping shook his head, "It's just a minor injury, and... things like divine power cannot be cured by hospitals."
In his fight with Osiris, both sides were injured, but Osiris only suffered external injuries from being slashed by the sword energy, while Zhou Ping suffered part of his body that was eroded by the power of Hades, which was an internal injury.
Of course, this kind of injury cannot be cured by modern medicine.
Lin Qiye and others looked at each other with solemn expressions in their eyes.
Zhou Ping is not only their teacher, but also the highest combat power of mankind. If there is a problem with his body, it is undoubtedly a big deal.
"There's no need to put on such an expression." Zhou Ping saw Lin Qiye and others looking worried, and said helplessly, "I'm just a little injured, and it's not like I'm going to die soon. There's no reason not to get hurt when fighting with a god.
?”
After Zhou Ping, Lin Qiye and others had been together for so long, they were able to relax a little. They were no longer as restrained and vigilant as they were at the beginning, and their communication became much more natural.
In Zhou Ping's eyes, Lin Qiye and others had changed from "troublesome strangers" to "troublesome acquaintances", and finally to "my students who are not that troublesome".
Of course, this is the result of several months of continuous efforts by Lin Qiye and others...
They are one of the few special cases in Zhou Ping.
Lin Qiye and others let out a long sigh.
"Senior Sword Master, you are so powerful that you can only compete with the gods. So in the history of mankind, has anyone ever killed a god?" Baili Pangpang asked curiously.
Zhou Ping shook his head, "No, competing with gods and killing gods are completely different things.
There are always a few people in the history of mankind who can fight against the gods without losing, but that's all. The so-called gods are not just another form of life form, they are also the incarnation of certain laws.
And the only thing that can obliterate the law is the law.
Humans are just creatures that live within the laws. No matter how strong they become, as long as they cannot master the power of the laws, they cannot kill gods.
This is the fundamental difference in life."
Lin Qiye and others were thoughtful.
"Then is it possible for humans to master the law?" An Qingyu's eyes were full of curiosity.
"...Maybe, it's impossible." Zhou Ping was silent for a moment, "At least in history, no one has ever done it."
Upon hearing this answer, the corridor fell into silence.
"Do you know why we are called the ceiling of humanity?" Zhou Ping continued, "Because this realm is the highest peak that humans can reach. There is no way to go higher...
Although many talented people throughout history have tried to break this ceiling, they have all failed.
The human ceiling is an honor that represents the highest combat power of mankind, but at the same time... it is also a shame.
Therefore, the vast majority of human beings do not like this title."
in silence,
Lin Qiye slowly opened his mouth, "In other words, humans can never defeat gods?"
Zhou Ping was silent for a moment, "Theoretically speaking, this is indeed the case, but..."
"But what?" Everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
"But Ye Fan thinks I can." Zhou Ping sighed helplessly, "He always believes that I am the person most likely to break this ceiling and reach a realm that no one has ever reached."
"Commander Ye?" Lin Qiye asked doubtfully, "Why?"
"I don't know either." Zhou Ping slowly closed his eyes, "I'm just an ordinary person, and I don't know why he has such great hopes for me..."
Ordinary people...
Lin Qiye's mouth twitched slightly.
An Qingyu stared at Zhou Ping, his eyes filled with unprecedented curiosity. He licked his lips, wondering what he was thinking.
On his waist, Jiang Er's voice came from the MP3 player:
"what's on your mind?"
This is a hospital after all, and Jiang Er did not appear here in the form of a ghost. Instead, he turned himself into a magnetic field and hid in the MP3 on An Qingyu's waist.
"The strongest combat power in mankind with the potential to break the ceiling... I really want to dissect it..." An Qingyu murmured to himself.
Jiang Er:……
What a weirdo.
Jiang Er thought to himself.
While everyone was talking, a clear phone rang.
Zhou Ping was startled, took out the phone from his pocket and answered it.
"...Hello?" He said softly.
"..."
"What?!"
Zhou Ping suddenly stood up from his seat, a rare look of shock appeared in his eyes. The next moment, he lowered his head and coughed uncontrollably.
"Cough cough cough...Okay, I understand, I'll wait for you here."
Zhou Ping's sudden reaction shocked Lin Qiye and others. Ever since they met him, they had never seen him with such a solemn expression.
"Senior Sword Master, what happened?" Baili Pangpang asked tentatively.
Zhou Ping held his cell phone and stood there for a moment, then looked back at Lin Qiye and others, frowning slightly.
"Everyone, come back to the safe house with me immediately. Ye Fan will be there in twelve minutes."
"Commander Ye?" Lin Qiye and others looked at each other with confusion in their eyes, "Haven't everything here been solved? What is Commander Ye doing now?"
Zhou Ping shook his head, "If nothing else happens, you can only go to the remaining two cities by yourself...
