Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along
Chapter 172 - 32: Divine Sect Invitation—I Don’t Want to Become a Telekinesis Master
CHAPTER 172: CHAPTER 32: DIVINE SECT INVITATION—I DON’T WANT TO BECOME A TELEKINESIS MASTER
Always at ease.
His mindset was like an ancient well, calm and undisturbed, as if even when surrounded by thousands of troops, he could steadily release the power of his spear technique without faltering.
Thus, Lin Chengfeng discovered that Zhang Lingfeng’s spear technique defense had no flaws and was even strengthening over time. It seemed he could control his rhythm, effortlessly blocking all the attacks.
"Ah!"
"Impossible!"
This abnormal and suffocating discovery made Lin Chengfeng uncontrollably frantic.
For a moment, although his saber technique strengthened significantly, he lost his rhythm.
"Clang!"
But Zhang Lingfeng wasn’t in a hurry.
He was rather frustrated internally, wondering why he had suddenly encountered such a lunatic. Since things had come to blows, no matter what, he had to teach this person a big lesson.
Otherwise, what if this person came bothering him endlessly next time?
"Zhang Lingfeng, break it for me!"
Lin Chengfeng roared.
He slashed down with all his might.
"Clang!"
Zhang Lingfeng blocked it again with ease. Then his spear technique shifted from defense to offense, with spear shadows covering Lin Chengfeng.
Lin Chengfeng felt like Zhang Lingfeng’s spear shadows were everywhere, unable to defend with his saber technique. Somehow, the long knife in his hand flew into the air; his clothes were torn apart, his face covered in blood marks, and his hands made a snapping sound as Zhang Lingfeng broke his bones.
Then a pain struck inside his thigh.
Pain in the crotch.
Pain in the backside.
Pain in the nose and mouth.
"Boom!"
Finally, Zhang Lingfeng swept a spear across his abdomen.
Lin Chengfeng felt like he was hit with the force of a hundred thousand pounds, flying backward like a kite with a broken string, landing heavily on the riverside.
The so-called skin phase defense was like paper under Zhang Lingfeng’s spear technique. He may not have been riddled with holes, but he looked as miserable as a beggar, bloodied and lying on the shore.
"Don’t use Master Zhuge and your master or Principal Wang’s reputation to pressure me. If they have business with me, they just need to send a message or call, and I’ll be there. What need is there for you to flaunt and humiliate me? I’ve seen many like you."
Zhang Lingfeng snorted coldly.
He wouldn’t let Lin Chengfeng catch him doing anything wrong.
He quickly left with the fishing gear, as if he had never fought with Lin Chengfeng on the shore.
"This combat power, it should be around 130.0, right? Could he have hidden his strength during the assessment?"
The shadow looked at Lin Chengfeng’s painful figure and couldn’t help but mutter.
When Lin Chengfeng descended before Zhang Lingfeng and showed hostility, he was ready to deal with Lin Chengfeng at any time. But unexpectedly, Lin Chengfeng couldn’t even touch the corner of Zhang Lingfeng’s clothes before being beaten like this.
What kind of disciple of a saber technique master is this, how can they be so useless?
...
In the inspection room.
Huang Ling, representing Divine Sect personnel, made the related registration for Chen Duling.
Just as she was about to lead Chen Duling away, her bracelet suddenly popped up with a message from the Divine Sect.
They wanted her to approach Zhang Lingfeng to check if he had formed a sea of consciousness. If not, she was to take him to Divine Sect for cultivation.
This was an order from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.
The content required that if Zhang Lingfeng formed a sea of consciousness, he should be cultivated with focus, using South City’s best resources on him. If he hadn’t formed it, he should train alongside Chen Duling.
Seven Great Star Systems Alliance had just verified, believing Zhang Lingfeng’s combat power was genuine. They judged that his recent rapid cultivation progress wasn’t just due to talent; he might have formed a sea of consciousness. Such cases weren’t uncommon in the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance.
Therefore, they tasked Divine Sect to provide resources even if Zhang Lingfeng hadn’t formed a sea of consciousness, to see if he could form it. If successful, Zhang Lingfeng’s potential would reach new heights.
Additionally, Yan Fei also received the latest information from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, asking him to stay in South City to teach Zhang Lingfeng, helping him unlock his flesh phase early and become a qualified Body Tempering Master.
Simultaneously, his points soared as the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance credited Yan Fei with Zhang Lingfeng taking the Body Tempering Technique to metamorphosis.
Seeing the rewards, Yan Fei finally couldn’t hold back his laughter.
Now his points could finally be exchanged for a bottle of Vein-Opening Liquid. With it, he could attempt to awaken his bloodline power. Being a Body Tempering Master who succeeded in twice metamorphosing the Body Tempering Technique, his chance of awakening bloodline from his body was very high.
With the help of Vein-Opening Liquid, he had a great chance of vein-opening success, becoming a powerful Bloodline Martial Artist and swiftly breaking through to the Bone Phase, becoming a master in the Dirt Realm.
Skin, flesh, tendons, bones, viscera, vitality, spirit, eight layers of dharma power. The further one progresses, the harder it is to unlock more layers, especially the last four aspects – viscera, vitality, spirit—without the augmentation of bloodline power, it’s hard to unlock the dharma gates, even with mental telekinesis baptism.
As a Body Tempering Master, Yan Fei is already such. Imagine how difficult it must be for others, emphasizing the strength and importance of bloodlines.
"Mom, what’s wrong?"
Chen Duling asked curiously.
"They want Zhang Lingfeng to train in the Divine Sect as well."
Huang Ling said.
Chen Duling was already a part of Divine Sect. Whether told or not, she’d find out when Zhang Lingfeng appeared.
"What, did he also form a sea of consciousness?"
Chen Duling couldn’t help asking.
"It’s not that easy, but he’s indeed talented. They want me to test him first to see if a sea of consciousness has formed. They believe his recent rapid change in strength could be related to it. But I think it’s not so easy."
Huang Ling knew how difficult it was to form a sea of consciousness.
Zhang Lingfeng had risen recently, so it was unlikely he had achieved such high accomplishments.
"Can someone without a sea of consciousness cultivate using the Divine Sect’s cultivation method?"
Chen Duling asked again.
"That depends on talent... and constitution, and mental thoughts. Some people even with eight layers of dharma power, surpassing Dharma Martial Artists, can’t form a sea of consciousness. To become a Mental Telekinesis Master requires not only talent but also some luck. Zhang Lingfeng has already taken both spear technique and Body Tempering Technique to metamorphosis. To have such strength at such a young age, heaven has already favored him greatly. If he becomes a Mental Telekinesis Master, it might infuriate many."
Huang Ling laughed.
She couldn’t believe Zhang Lingfeng could surpass Chen Duling in all aspects, especially in mental telekinesis.
"You’re right."
Chen Duling nodded.
No matter how monstrous a person is, they can’t outshine everyone in every area!
Such people, even if they exist, wouldn’t cross my path.
...
"Young man, what’s the matter with you?"
Having just received rewards, Yan Fei was in a great mood, sweeping away all his displeasures, ready to find someone to have a celebratory drink with, when he suddenly saw a man lying on the riverside.
Next to him was a flying skateboard.
Lin Chengfeng, eyes vacant, lay on the ground silent. His hands were broken by Zhang Lingfeng, his face full of blood marks; he had taken hits on his inner thigh and crotch. Although recoverable, his image took a great hit.
He felt too weak due to anger.
He could barely stand up.
Yan Fei, passing by, momentarily didn’t grasp how Lin Chengfeng ended up like this, but in his good mood, he noticed the flying skateboard nearby, deduced it was Lin Chengfeng’s, and placed him on it, letting the skateboard carry him back.
Flying devices nowadays are highly intelligent.
Even without Lin Chengfeng inputting commands, it remembered where he came from. In the yard waiting for Lin Chengfeng and Zhang Lingfeng, Lin Qiying and others soon saw a flying skateboard carrying a limp figure landing before them.
