Chapter 79: Chapter 79 So That’s How It Is (3rd Update)

Zhenwu Prefecture City is vast. It took several people an entire night of searching before they finally found Ling Chen at an inn.

"Young Master Ling, please come with us to visit the Academic Palace."

Bai Yan said with a smile.

A few core students from the inner palace also showed great respect for Ling Chen.

Even the Deputy Palace Master has summoned him by name; how could they dare to put on airs?

Moreover, judging by Elder Bai’s attitude, it was obviously very urgent; otherwise, why would they have been instructed to search throughout the night?

"Oh, it turns out to be Young Master Bai."

Ling Chen nodded with a smile.

He didn’t harbor any hostility towards Bai Yan.

During the reassessment, Bai Yan took good care of him.

"However, I’m no longer a prospective student, so there’s no need for me to enter the Academy."

Ling Chen declined with a smile.

He was already preparing to go to other prefecture cities, staying here was only to inform Ling Wu.

On hearing this, Bai Yan quickly said, "Young Master Ling, this is a great opportunity for you to join the True Martial Academy. The Deputy Palace Master wants to summon you!"

"The Deputy Palace Master?"

Ling Chen frowned slightly.

He didn’t know anyone in Zhenwu Prefecture City; how could he be involved with the Deputy Palace Master?

"Could it be related to Xiao Wu?"

Ling Chen suddenly recalled something.

With the True Martial Token, Xiao Wu should have already become a core student of the Academy.

It was indeed possible for a core student to have contact with the Deputy Palace Master.

"Alright then!"

Ling Chen nodded.

His main purpose for entering the True Martial Academy was for Ling Wu.

Staying here wasn’t a permanent solution.

But he had no way to contact Ling Wu.

Therefore, he could only place his hope in this summon by the Deputy Palace Master.

Seeing that Ling Chen agreed, Bai Yan and the others were overjoyed.

Soon, guided by Bai Yan, Ling Chen entered the Academy.

However, the first person he met was not the Deputy Palace Master, but Elder Bai Qian.

"Ling Chen, you should come with me to pay respects to the Deputy Palace Master, and you should know what not to say."

Bai Qian gave Ling Chen a meaningful look.

"Yes, I understand."

Ling Chen nodded.

If he had known that it had to do with Bai Qian, he certainly wouldn’t have come.

But now that he was already at the Academy, it was unrealistic to think about leaving.

Thinking that Elder Bai Qian wouldn’t dare to make a move on him because the Deputy Palace Master had summoned him, Ling Chen calmed down.

In the main palace.

"Deputy Palace Master, Ling Chen has been brought here!"

Bai Qian hastened to greet the person seated at the higher place.

Ling Chen, however, stood still and did not salute.

"Ling Chen, won’t you pay your respects to the Palace Master?"

Bai Qian reprimanded.

Ling Chen, on the other hand, ignored Bai Qian’s reprimand and countered, "As I am not of the True Martial Academy, why should I pay respects?"

The Deputy Palace Master was taken aback, then said, "You make a fair point."

"However, you are now."

The Deputy Palace Master said with a smile.

He thought that Xiao Wu’s brother would be at least a youth in his twenties; he did not expect him to be so young, looking almost the same age as Xiao Wu!

Even if he couldn’t meet the standards of the True Martial Academy at such an age, he was still worthy to be recruited into the Academy for cultivation.

"I am not."

Ling Chen shook his head.

The Deputy Palace Master was stunned and said, "What I mean is, I am permitting you to join our True Martial Academy now."

He thought Ling Chen might not have understood what he meant.

"I’m sorry, but I refuse to join the True Martial Academy!" Ling Chen responded with a smile.

You regarded me as an outcast before, yet now with just one sentence, you want to recruit me. You’re underestimating me.

"If there’s no place for me here, I will find my place elsewhere!"

Even if the True Martial Academy won’t take him in, it doesn’t mean other academies in different prefectures won’t.

The Deputy Palace Master was completely taken aback; this was the first time he had encountered someone who actually refused his invitation to join the True Martial Academy!

"Why?" The Deputy Palace Master asked with a smile.

This young man was rather interesting, unique among the rest!

Unlike most talents who would tremble in fear upon seeing him.

Upon hearing this, Elder Bai Qian immediately became anxious.

If Ling Chen revealed what happened before, he would definitely be questioned.

He hastily glared at Ling Chen.

Ling Chen smiled slightly, "I don’t meet the standards of your True Martial Academy."

Bai Qian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This kid knows the score!

Upon hearing this, the Deputy Palace Master smiled and said, "It’s not a big deal. Don’t feel inferior; you’re still young. A few years of study in True Martial Academy, and you might well compete with other geniuses!"

"Since I agree to your joining the Academy, no one dares to refuse you!"

Ling Chen is the brother of his precious Sacred Body disciple. Even if he’s a good-for-nothing, saying he’s accepted means no one will defy him!

He, a Deputy Palace Master, can decide on such minor matters.

Ling Chen shook his head, "I have no talent for cultivation."

He was puzzled, what about him had caught the Deputy Palace Master’s eye? Why did this person value him so much, with an attitude entirely different from Elder Bai?

"Ah?"

The Deputy Palace Master was suddenly stunned.

His sister is a Sacred Body, and he has no talent at all?

Bai Qian spoke up at the right time, "Deputy Palace Master, the reason I sent him back to his homeland is precisely because he has no talent for cultivation."

"Oh, I see!"

The Deputy Palace Master nodded.

No wonder he couldn’t feel any Spiritual Power from Ling Chen.

"It doesn’t matter, just stay at True Martial Academy. Look, how’s this?"

The Deputy Palace Master said with a smile.

Bai Qian was utterly bewildered. What’s the background of this guy? No talent, yet he still can enter the central academy, better than those talented outer academy students? And he was invited three times by the Palace Master?

Ling Chen was also stunned.

Could it be that the Deputy Palace Master is treating him too well?

"May I ask Deputy Palace Master, why are you so kind to me?"

Ling Chen inquired.

This was simply too bizarre.

He had never met the Deputy Palace Master before, so why the impetus to pull him in after their first meeting? Even his own claim of having no cultivation talent didn’t matter?

Is this really the True Martial Academy?

Why is it so different from Elder Bai?

The Deputy Palace Master smiled without a word.

"Brother!"

At this moment, a figure dashed forward and plunged into Ling Chen’s embrace.

"Xiao Wu?"

Seeing who it was, Ling Chen was immediately surprised.

"Have you awakened?"

Ling Chen asked with surprise.

He could feel the aura of Spiritual Power coming from Ling Wu.

"Yes."

Ling Wu nodded firmly, then suddenly buried her head in Ling Chen’s chest and started sobbing, "I’m sorry!"

Ling Chen had given her the True Martial Token, yet he had been sent back to his homeland.

"Silly girl!"

Ling Chen patted Ling Wu’s little head and couldn’t help but smile.

After a while, the two separated, and Ling Chen turned to Ling Wu, "Was all this because of you?"

"Yes!"

Ling Wu nodded.

No wonder the Deputy Palace Master summoned him. That explains it!

Then, the Deputy Palace Master spoke, "Ling Chen, just stay here, and be with your sister."

"Yes, brother, just listen to our Master," urged Ling Wu.

"Master?"

Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed.

"Yes."

Ling Wu smiled.

"After Xiao Wu awakened, I took her as my disciple," the Deputy Palace Master said with a smile.

"What is your physique?"

Ling Chen asked excitedly.

Being taken in as a disciple by the Deputy Palace Master of True Martial Academy surely meant an extraordinary gift.

"Ice Spirit Body!"

Ling Wu said.

Although she is the Ice and Fire Saint Body, externally it is referred to as the Ice Spirit Body.

"Good!"

Ling Chen nodded.

Indeed worthy of True Martial Academy; just after a few days of joining, they helped Ling Wu reach the Peak of Physical Body Realm and successfully awakened her power.
