Chapter 528: Zhang Xilin and Zhang Huaiyi

"By the way, Brother Jie, how is your strength compared to the Old Heavenly Master?"

Zhang Chulan asked curiously.

Among the extraordinary people he had seen, Zhang Jie, who could make him unable to react with a casual flick, was undoubtedly the strongest.

He wanted to know the gap in strength between Zhang Jie and the Old Heavenly Master,

this helps him recognize what level of the extraordinary world he is in.

Is he an inconspicuous, small chicken that any extraordinary person can kick?

Or is he an ordinary extraordinary person whose strength reaches the average level?

"This..."

Asked this question, Zhang Jie found it a bit difficult to answer:

"Hard to say, hard to say."

To talk about full strength, he is undoubtedly not afraid of the Old Heavenly Master at all,

even in the original work, no one has ever seen him use his full strength, hitting anyone is a slap,

if it doesn't work, then another slap, it is really unfathomable.

After the arrival of the shared space, he who shared the strength of other Zhang Jies is definitely the first echelon of the *Under One Person* world,

the battles between *One Piece* Zhang Jie and Big Mom and Enel can explode islands.

Such strength, as long as it is not at the center of a nuclear explosion,

facing the extreme high temperature of tens of millions or hundreds of millions of degrees Celsius, he is not afraid.

And with his movement speed of several times the speed of sound, not to mention big guys like nuclear bombs,

even hypersonic missiles cannot hit him.

In other words, if he wants to, he can fully stage a real "I don't eat beef"!

But to talk about the first cultivation in the *Under One Person* world, he is completely not the opponent of the Old Heavenly Master.

Before the shared space came, he, who had mediocre aptitude, only learned a Jin Guang Curse, and his strength and cultivation were mediocre.

The Old Heavenly Master could stand and let the previous him hit, and he was afraid he couldn't break the defense.

Such an awkward situation can only be relieved after he upgrades his cultivation in a while.

"Oh."

Zhang Chulan said "oh" knowingly.

Zhang Jie said so, plus the title of "One Peak" of the Old Heavenly Master, his strength should be inferior to the Old Heavenly Master.

However, although he already had a guess about Zhang Jie's strength in his heart, Zhang Chulan did not change his attitude toward Zhang Jie.

After all, whether Zhang Jie's strength is only a little worse than the Old Heavenly Master, or far inferior,

he can be sure of one point—that is, Zhang Jie's strength is far above him.

Just that flick of the finger, he didn't doubt at all, if Zhang Jie had malice toward him,

then the bump on his head wouldn't be as simple as a big bump,

but like a watermelon smashed by a hammer, directly shattered.

"By the way, Brother Jie, you said that my family's ancestral ability is from the Heavenly Old Tian Shi Fu,

then do you know the origin of my family and the Heavenly Old Tian Shi Fu?"

Zhang Chulan couldn't suppress the curiosity in his heart and continued to pursue the question.

"You asked the right person."

Zhang Jie didn't have the idea of keeping it completely secret and smiled faintly.

"Please enlighten me, Brother Jie!"

Seeing that Zhang Jie seemed to be an insider who knew the origin of his Zhang family,

Zhang Chulan instantly brightened up, stood up and saluted, very respectful.

"Hmm."

Zhang Jie nodded slightly, and his impression of Zhang Chulan improved by a few points.

Although this kid Zhang Chulan has a lot of scheming, thanks to this, he has some experience in dealing with people.

Seeking advice naturally requires a posture of seeking advice.

"Although I am only a lay disciple of the Heavenly Old Tian Shi Fu, I know a lot about the information of the Heavenly Old Tian Shi Fu.

In recent years, the disciples of the Heavenly Old Tian Shi Fu, whether they are formal ordained disciples,

or lay disciples like me, I know them all."

Zhang Chulan deeply agreed.

The extraordinary people in the extraordinary world are still too few, even for a major force as famous as the Heavenly Old Tian Shi Fu,

the disciples of several generations add up to only a hundred people, so it is normal for everyone to know each other.

"Among these many disciples, there is no one connected to your Zhang family."

Zhang Jie continued.

"Is that so."

Zhang Chulan was a bit disappointed.

"What are you in a hurry for? I haven't finished yet."

Zhang Jie glanced at Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan then honestly sat cross-legged.

"There is no one among the disciples who has contact with your Zhang family, but as far as I know,

there was a fellow disciple of the Old Heavenly Master's generation who disappeared inexplicably after going down the mountain, neither alive nor dead."

"Could this person be my grandfather?"

Hearing this, Zhang Chulan became excited.

Most of the Old Heavenly Master's generation are eighty, ninety, or over a hundred years old, which just happens to match his grandfather's age.

Combined with the secret Jin Guang Curse of Long Hu Mountain, he had an 80-90% certainty,

determining that his grandfather was the disciple who disappeared from Long Hu Mountain decades ago!

"However..."

Zhang Jie changed the subject and said: "The name of the missing senior I learned was Zhang Huaiyi,

and your grandfather was called Zhang Xilin, so I find it hard to determine whether they are the same person."

Although he knew that Zhang Chulan's grandfather Zhang Xilin was the missing junior brother Zhang Huaiyi of the Old Heavenly Master Zhang Zhiwei,

but saying this definitely didn't fit his persona

—he was just a mediocre lay disciple of Long Hu Mountain,

an ordinary extraordinary person who slacked off and mixed for a meal in Naidu Tong,

he couldn't, and shouldn't, know so many secrets.

Although with his current power, he is not afraid of others peeping,

but Zhang Jie is not willing to be exposed to other people with intentions,

no other reason, just trouble.

For trouble without benefits, Zhang Jie has always kept away from it.

"Zhang Huaiyi, Zhang Xilin, Zhang Huaiyi, Zhang Xilin..."

Zhang Chulan kept chanting these two names,

becoming more and more certain that these two names referred to one person, his grandfather.

As for how Zhang Huaiyi became Zhang Xilin?

His grandfather had already taken their father and son to hide their names, so changing a name was naturally reasonable.

After all, they planned to hide, so using the previous name would be too conspicuous,

which had a bit of "there is no silver three hundred taels here, the neighbor A-Er did not steal" meaning.

However, despite this, Zhang Chulan still had some doubts in his heart,

and didn't fully believe it, but begged Zhang Jie:

"Brother Jie, I hope you can help me and confirm it with the Heavenly Old Tian Shi Fu."

"I know this is an unreasonable request, but you are the only one I can trust."

"Alright, I will ask for you."

Knowing the ins and outs of this matter, Zhang Jie agreed very readily.

For this little brother Zhang Chulan who knows progress and retreat, has scheming, and understands politeness,

he is very appreciative and doesn't mind helping him when he can.

"Thank you, Brother Jie, I really can't repay you!"

Zhang Chulan was grateful.

Helping such a big favor on the first meeting, what kind of internationalist spirit of helping others is this?

Zhang Jie's image became taller and more majestic in his heart.

Not helping is duty, helping is affection, this affection, he must accept.

And any other things like "It wasn't you who hit it, why did you help it?" are things that any person with a conscience cannot do. ===== CHAPTER 529 =====

No person with a conscience could do such a thing.
