CHAPTER 151: CHAPTER 24: ONE REJECTION, ONE HUGE PAYOFF

Being able to fish at Jiulong River together was mainly because he was persuaded by the side, which increased Marquis Zhuge’s tolerance considerably.

At this moment, rejecting Marquis Zhuge in front of Yan Fei and the experts of the Hidden Kill Department was an act of contempt and insult towards him.

"Why haven’t you knelt to Teacher Zhuge to apologize yet, and followed him to practice the Spear Technique properly?"

Wang Dashan was anxious.

Marquis Zhuge’s face turned red, fists clenched tightly, staring at Zhang Lingfeng without speaking.

Zhang Lingfeng felt a pressure, an oppressive aura from the Master of Gun Technique, making his combat power of 80.4 and physical fitness of 11.5 seem pitifully weak in front of Marquis Zhuge.

It felt as if the opponent could crush him into pieces with just a flick of his fingers.

But if he truly became Marquis Zhuge’s disciple, followed him in learning the Spear Technique, how could this be considered coasting along, how could it match the Coasting Along Fate, how could he obtain Coasting Along Value, how could he form Spear Momentum and become a so-called Master of Gun Technique within a few months?

So he braced himself, bowed, and said, "Forgive the younger generation for not recognizing Mount Tai, I’m sorry."

Zhang Lingfeng knew in his heart that Marquis Zhuge had his best interests at heart, genuinely wanting to pass on his skills to him, hoping he would inherit his legacy. If he became his disciple, he would undoubtedly treat him as his own, wholeheartedly teaching him cultivation.

He absolutely deserved to be called a competent teacher.

Therefore, Zhang Lingfeng bowed willingly to Marquis Zhuge, hoping he would stop forcing him and soon forget about him.

"Bang!"

Marquis Zhuge stepped on the stone steps, shattering them as he leaped onto the riverbank, leaving without looking back.

In order to make Zhang Lingfeng his disciple, he could go to Starry Sky University to teach, could threaten Di Yang, and by all means strive to let Zhang Lingfeng enter Starry Sky University for cultivation.

He even had Wang Dashan notify Zhang Lingfeng overnight, and came to Future City District with Wang Dashan to find Zhang Lingfeng, or even came to Jiulong River to fish together.

But all of this was based on the premise that Zhang Lingfeng would become his disciple, follow him to cultivate diligently, and carry forward the Life-taking Linked Spear.

At this moment, continuously being rejected by Zhang Lingfeng, there was no way Marquis Zhuge wasn’t feeling angry inside.

He hated Zhang Lingfeng for being so ignorant of the heights and depths of the world.

He was resentful that he humbled himself to seek out Zhang Lingfeng, thus boosting Zhang Lingfeng’s arrogance.

"Old Ge!"

"Zhang Lingfeng, you will regret this!"

"Old Ge, wait for me..."

Even Wang Dashan was filled with righteous indignation, feeling that Zhang Lingfeng was arrogant and conceited, too dismissive of others. It was one thing to do the Steel Spear Dance in front of him, but to dare reject Marquis Zhuge as well.

And this was done in front of Yan Fei and the experts of the Hidden Kill Department.

Wang Dashan regretted it internally, knowing he shouldn’t have rushed to bring Marquis Zhuge here.

Now, not to mention making Zhang Lingfeng Marquis Zhuge’s disciple, the two might even have a falling out over this. How would Zhang Lingfeng represent South City in the next semester’s national exams, competing alongside martial arts students from over fifty other cities in Jiangbei Province, achieving good results!

"I... take care."

Zhang Lingfeng was left with no words to defend himself.

"Did you come here to fish just to avoid cultivation, is it that simple?"

Yan Fei inquired.

"Pretty much!"

Watching Yan Fei’s fishing rod and a series of equipment, Zhang Lingfeng couldn’t help but nod, thinking that fishing here could boost his strength, while Yan Fei’s fishing here would just be a waste of time.

They all had his best interests at heart, and he shouldn’t harm them.

Upon hearing this, Yan Fei couldn’t help but have his whole face convulse fiercely.

Then, unable to hold back his anger, he smashed his fishing equipment to pieces with a single palm, throwing it all into the Jiulong River, and like Marquis Zhuge, he stepped on the stone steps, smashing them as he leaped onto the riverbank, leaving in a rage.

He never thought that one day he would consider fishing as a shortcut to breaking through in cultivation like a fool.

He was, after all, a dignified Body Tempering Master!

If people found out, his reputation would be ruined.

The shadow upstream also vanished under the cover of light, making it hard for Zhang Lingfeng, who was already struggling to notice him, to ever see more than the outline of a person sitting upriver.

"Having fished with him for so many days, the department probably won’t find out, right!"

The shadow was a bit worried, fearing that if the department personnel found out, they might consider him an idiot.

Especially looking at the mutated loach in the red bucket, which had just been caught with much difficulty, he smashed it into a pulp out of anger.

"Alas, Principal Wang and Teacher Yan must be extremely disappointed in me now."

Zhang Lingfeng looked helpless.

He cast the fishing line again.

[You refused to become Marquis Zhuge’s disciple and saw the coast along to the end, gaining 1831 Coasting Along Value.]

Suddenly, a line of text appeared before him.

Zhang Lingfeng was stunned, rubbing his eyes in disbelief.

Since the awakening of the Coasting Along Fate, every time he gained Coasting Along Value, it came from gradual accumulation over time. To gain 1831 Coasting Along Value all at once just by refusing to become Marquis Zhuge’s disciple was unprecedented.

He thought he might be hallucinating.

"Could it be that Teacher Zhuge is extraordinarily significant, giving me such a large feedback of value this time?"

"Does rejecting an invitation from any master guarantee this much Coasting Along Value?"

Zhang Lingfeng’s imagination ran wild.

He remembered Yan Fei was a renowned Body Tempering Technique Master. If Yan Fei insisted on making him his disciple, forcing him to learn his craft, and he refused to no end, would he also gain this much Coasting Along Value in one go?

Alas, Yan Fei was not around now, otherwise, Zhang Lingfeng really wanted to test the effect of refusing Yan Fei.
