After arriving at the door of Lao Wugui's office, the little kid stretched out his hand to knock on the door, but it stopped in mid-air and couldn't say anything.
His eyes flickered, and the expression on his face changed even more.
"What should I say after entering?"
"Why don't you just go straight to the point and ask the old turtle if you are about to die?"
"That old guy has to blow his beard and glare, and treat me to a good meal of his bastard punch."
After shaking his head and getting rid of some unreliable thoughts in his mind, the little kid's clone frowned and thought for a while.
Not long after, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Yes!"
With this thought in mind, he took out the giant trophy representing the winner of the national competition from the Sumeru ring on his right thumb.
"This gives me an excuse, just think that it's me who came here to tell the old turtle the good news and report on my work."
"As long as I'm careful, that old turtle shouldn't be able to notice it. I used titanium alloy dog eyes to observe his physical condition."
"Hehe, I'm really quite witty!"
At this moment, the office door was opened from inside.
Well... to be precise, this door was actually opened by an old turtle carrying a turtle shell as big as a washbasin.
After seeing the kid's clone holding the giant trophy, the old turtle had a smile on his face: "Who am I talking about, standing at the door of my office for a long time and not planning to knock on the door?
"
"So it's you, Wang Dazhuang, who's back from Shuntian City?"
After the initial surprise, the little kid's clone quickly came to his senses. He mouthed at the giant trophy in his arms: "Grandpa Turtle, I'm lucky to have fulfilled my destiny. I brought you the winning trophy of the national competition."
.”
There was a hint of relief in his mung bean-sized eyes, and the old turtle nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, okay, don't just stand at the door stupidly, come in and sit down, I happen to have something to talk to you about."
"Looking for me?" The kid's clone's eyes flickered, and then he followed the old turtle into the office calmly.
He casually placed the giant trophy in his arms on the old turtle's desk. Then, the little kid jumped onto the sofa nearby and lay down in an awkward position.
While the old turtle stretched out his claws to caress the championship trophy with a smile on his face, a rich golden light shone in the eyes of the little kid's clone.
After a quick glance in the direction of the old turtle, he quickly looked away.
The golden light in his eyes gradually faded away, and the face of the little boy's clone suddenly became extremely gloomy, and his brows were almost wrinkled.
The old turtle's physical condition was worse than he imagined.
Under the observation of his titanium alloy dog eyes, the old turtle's body was already in dilapidated condition.
Logically speaking, once the physical limit is exceeded and the first-grade master realm is reached, the old turtle's body will become leak-free.
Normally, no energy leaks out of the body at all. This is also a state of returning to nature.
But now, the old turtle's body is like a sieve, with all kinds of energy and essence pouring out.
If it weren't for the fact that the old turtle still had a life essence in his body, which was constantly filling up the shortcomings and losses in his body, he would have burped long ago!
The little kid's clone's eyes were dim and unclear: "The essence of life in the old turtle's body seems to be the treasure of heaven and earth that can prolong life as mentioned by Old Tang."
"It's just that this thing is basically a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. Compared with the loss of the old turtle, the life essence is just a drop in the bucket and can only be regarded as hanging on to its life."
While the little kid's clone was thinking, the old turtle looked away from the giant trophy on the desk. Then, it looked at the little kid's clone with a half-smile: "Wang Dazhuang, you think what you just did was very secretive.
, are you very unaware of ghosts?"
"Then you are dead wrong!"
"If I hadn't been too lazy to cover up, do you think you could see through my true identity at this time?"
"Uh..." The little boy's clone looked suffocated. After he turned over and sat up from the sofa, he scratched his cheeks with an embarrassed look and laughed endlessly.
Being caught doing business is really embarrassing, isn’t it?
The old turtle smiled nonchalantly: "Before you came back, Xiao Tang just had a phone call with me. Did he tell you everything about my death soon?"
The little boy's clone was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the Xiao Tang in the old turtle's mouth was actually Tang Qianhe.
Now that the old turtle has made his words clear, the kid's clone feels that he should no longer hide it and continue to act stupid.
So, he went straight to the point: "Grandpa Turtle, how long can your body last?"
After saying that, his eyes were fixed on the old wrinkled face of the old turtle.
The old turtle pretended to smile relaxedly: "As long as you don't take action easily and maintain the lowest consumption like now, you should be able to last for more than half a year!"
"It's only half a year, so short?" The face of the kid's clone suddenly changed.
After looking up and down the little kid's clone, Old Oogway sighed with relief: "Half a year is enough for you to break through to the first-grade Grandmaster realm."
"After you officially take over my position, I can go there with peace of mind."
After being silent for a long time, the little kid's clone frowned and asked: "Grandpa Turtle, I want to know why you insisted on choosing me as your heir despite the huge pressure?"
The old turtle smiled and explained: "When I choose you, strength and ability are a consideration."
"Of course, the most important thing is my selfishness."
"We heterogeneous monks are already rare, and in this society where humans are the main body, it is even more difficult."
"If we don't join forces to help each other, there will be no place for us alien monks to gain a foothold in the future."
"I only hope that after you take the position of director of the Shanghai Base, you can remember my passion and help those alien monks within your ability."
After pondering for a moment, the little kid's clone nodded solemnly.
After taking a breath, the old turtle's eyes became profound: "I have lived long enough, and I have already seen clearly all kinds of things in this world, including the warmth and coldness of human relationships."
"I was originally an ordinary turtle. I accidentally ate a spiritual grass at the bottom of the lake. I was lucky enough to open up my spiritual wisdom, and finally embarked on the path of spiritual practice."
"And because the Chinese Guardian Clan saved my life when my life was in danger, I made an oath to stick to the mission of protecting the Clan throughout my life."
"It's a pity that in my lifetime, I won't be able to see the day when the sealed master of the Blood Demon Clan is destroyed."
Looking at the old and sad old turtle in front of him, the trace of resentment that the little kid had for cheating on his spiritual stone completely disappeared.
After hesitating for a moment, the little kid's clone frowned and asked: "Grandpa Turtle, is there really no way to increase your lifespan?"
