Shocking World War Emperor
Chapter 36: Accepting a Disciple?

Chapter 36: Chapter 36: Accepting a Disciple?

Under everyone’s watchful gaze, Ling Chen’s face showed no fear.

"White Crane Blue Sky Technique!"

With a move of his feet, Ling Chen directly executed this high-grade Spirit Art, effortlessly dodging Ling Yun’s attack.

"High-grade Body Technique?"

"Condensed Qi Realm, Ninth Level, Late Stage?"

Two incredulous exclamations erupted at the same time.

Ling Yun was too fast; only by achieving these two conditions would one be able to dodge Ling Yun’s killer strike.

The spectator seats fell deathly silent.

Who could have thought Ling Chen was not at the Seventh or Eighth level of the Condensed Qi Realm, but the terrifying Ninth Level Late Stage?

At this moment, their minds seemed to stop thinking, leaving only a deafening voice echoing through their minds!

Ling Yun stared at Ling Chen who wasn’t far away, with an expression of disbelief filling his eyes.

In his attempt to defeat Ling Chen, he had used all his strength, yet who would have known that he could not even touch the hem of Ling Chen’s robe?

Was this guy really only awakened for a few days?

He stood motionless on the spot, at a loss for what to do next!

"Swoosh!"

A figure swept down from the Observation Platform, staring at Ling Chen with great excitement, eyes seemingly alight with endless radiance, as if Ling Chen was an invaluable treasure in his eyes!

This person was none other than Master Gu, the head of the Divine Thought Master Guild!

At such a young age, Ling Chen was able to successfully cultivate a high-grade movement technique, which meant his Divine Soul must be incredibly powerful, certainly qualifying him as a Divine Thought Master.

Hadn’t he come to Guangling City just to find a disciple to whom he could pass on his mantle?

Now, a peerless genius stood before him, how could he not be excited?

Watching Master Gu’s actions, both Su Mo and Lin Xiong’s faces turned ashen.

It seemed that Ling Chen truly possessed the talent of a Divine Thought Master!

Initially, upon seeing Ling Chen reveal his Ninth Level Late Stage cultivation and cultivation of a high-grade movement technique, they were already somewhat despondent.

But what was more despairing was that Ling Chen also had the talent of a Divine Thought Master!

Lin Xiong’s face turned ashen, aware that Lin Zhengyue and the other two had died by Ling Chen’s hand.

If he had known earlier just how powerful Ling Chen was, even if he had gone in person, it would not have been in vain!

Being stared at by a man in such a way, Ling Chen felt his skin crawl and hurriedly retreated a few steps.

If he were being stared at by a beautiful woman, Ling Chen might have enjoyed it very much, but being stared at by a big man like this was rather disgusting.

"Would you be willing to take me as your master?"

Master Gu asked excitedly.

"What?"

Ling Chen glanced at the old man, his face dumbfounded.

Was this old guy sick?

Coming up and wanting to take a disciple right away definitely didn’t seem like a good thing.

"Ling Chen, why haven’t you knelt down to take him as your master immediately?"

Lingtian Feng, coming to his senses, immediately shouted loudly.

The fact that Master Gu proactively wanted to take Ling Chen as a disciple was beyond his expectations.

Lin Xiong and Su Mo had eyes red with jealousy.

"Who are you?"

Ling Chen asked warily.

"My name is Gu Ce, head of the Divine Thought Master Guild!"

Master Gu quickly replied.

"Are you Master Gu?"

Ling Chen was astonished.

He had only heard of Master Gu’s name but had never seen him.

"It’s me."

Master Gu nodded.

"Do I really have the talent of a Divine Thought Master?"

Ling Chen inquired.

"Although I cannot be one hundred percent certain, I can tell you this—if there is someone with the talent of a Divine Thought Master in Guangling City, it could only be you."

Master Gu said with a smile.

Since Ling Chen knew of his reputation, kneeling down to accept him as a master should have been a matter of course.

Instead, Ling Chen fell silent.

If this were before, possessing such talent would surely have made him jump for joy.

However, now that he has awakened the Night Moon Saint Body that surpasses a Spiritual Body, it’s clear that his prospects in cultivating Spiritual Power are even brighter.

He hopes to quickly increase his cultivation level and rescue his father from the Royal Capital.

If he were to divide his attention to cultivate Divine Soul Telekinesis as well, there is no doubt that it would significantly extend this period of time.

"Master Gu, I apologize."

Ling Chen made his decision.

Possessing the Night Moon Saint Body, he had no necessity to become a Divine Thought Master.

Upon hearing this, Gu Ce was immediately stunned.

He had finally discovered a promising candidate and personally offered to take him as a disciple, yet he was refused?

Refused.

Refused.

Upon hearing Ling Chen’s decision, everyone was once again dumbfounded.

To dare to refuse even Master Gu... truly...

"Why?"

Gu Ce urgently inquired.

He didn’t understand why Ling Chen so resolutely turned him down.

"First, you cannot be sure of my talent in Divine Soul Telekinesis. Secondly, I wish to focus on cultivating Spiritual Power, and my talent in that field is not lacking!"

Ling Chen explained.

If it weren’t for the pressure to rescue his father, he might have given it a try.

However, his father had been captured and was still alive; he didn’t want his father to suffer more.

Now that he is able to cultivate and possesses the Night Moon Saint Body, naturally, he hopes to become a stronger cultivator, surpassing even the likes of Xia Jiuyou, and rescue his father.

Perhaps only after being reunited with his father would he consider cultivating Divine Soul Telekinesis.

"Alright then."

Gu Ce was not insistent.

"If you change your mind, come and find me anytime; this promise will never expire!"

With a sigh, Gu Ce leaped onto the Observation Platform.

As a Divine Thought Master, he was extremely sensitive to the mental states of people.

Clearly, Ling Chen was not someone who could be easily swayed.

Gu Ce’s appearance naturally interrupted the battle between Ling Chen and his opponent. Now that Gu Ce had left, the battle, however, did not continue.

"I concede."

Although reluctant in his heart, Ling Yun chose to concede.

Ling Chen’s Spiritual Power was even more robust than his, and the top-tier Body Technique and Spirit Art he cultivated were unmatched; Ling Yun couldn’t land a hit on Ling Chen, and not conceding would be an embarrassment to himself!

With Ling Yun conceding, the third round ended.

Ling Chen, Ling Xiao, and Ling Ye advanced, qualifying to contest for the True Martial Token.

After resting for an hour, the fourth round began.

The three contestants would fight in pairs, and the first place winner would obtain the True Martial Token.

The drawing was completed quickly; Ling Xiao was lucky and received a bye for the first round.

Thus, the upcoming match would naturally be between Ling Chen and Ling Ye.

Ling Ye was also a cultivator in the late stage of the ninth level of the Condensed Qi Realm. The strength of the two was comparable.

"I didn’t expect my opponent would be you!"

Ling Ye said coldly, "However, this True Martial Token is as good as mine; no one can snatch it away!"

Although he had nine-star talent, he was not given much importance in the Ling Family, while Ling Chen, who was at the Physical Body Realm, became the beacon of hope in the Family Head’s heart.

He felt that Ling Chen had stolen the glory that rightfully belonged to him.

Therefore, he didn’t harbor good feelings towards Ling Chen, and instead, he even held some hatred.

"Is that so?"

Ling Chen replied with an indifferent smile.

Although he was only at the late eighth level of the Condensed Qi Realm, his Spiritual Power was nearly indistinguishable from that of a late ninth level.

With his understanding of Spirit Art, he did not believe he would lose to his opponent.

Moreover, the True Martial Token was left to him by his father; it was only being temporarily safeguarded by the family. Therefore, no matter what, he must seize the True Martial Token to live up to his father’s expectations.

"Don’t assume that just because you are at the late ninth level of the Condensed Qi Realm, you are invincible among the younger generation. You are still naïve!"

Ling Ye scoffed.

"I’m not sure where your animosity towards me comes from, but I’ll send those words right back to you!"

Ling Chen said calmly.

"Good, then let me see what makes you so confident to defy me!"

Ling Ye grinned, as a brilliant golden radiance burst forth from his entire Physical Body!
