Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 375 - Signs of Breakthrough
At the end of the event, Zhang En respectfully performed three kowtows to Ling Ming and uttered the word 'Teacher' as he thrust out a cup of tea. Lin Ming smiled as he received a cup of tea from Zhang En. Sipping on it, he said, "Hahaha, good, good student, get up quickly!"
He even personally stood up to help Zhang En stand up.
This simple act should be remembered by all the guests present with shock in their eyes. Only from here, they could clearly see how much Lin Ming valued Zhang En as his disciple. No one noticed a ray of jealousy flashed in the eyes of second disciple Lin Ming.
After that, the grand reception of the disciples ended. Lin Ming invited all the guests present to the banquet table, where each of them raised their wine cups with a toast and said endless congratulations to Sect Master Lin Ming, saying, a lively and bustling atmosphere filled every corner of the hall that lasted until night. Then the guests bid farewell and departed from the Sacred Tiger World Planet.
Afterwards, Lin Ming and Zhang En returned to Lin Ming's palace residence and had his three disciples other than Zhang En return to their respective residence.
Arriving at the palace, Lin Ming summoned Zhang En to approach the side, then gave him a spatial ring, "This is a congratulatory gift from the guests who came today."
Being slightly startled, Zhang En only looked at the spatial ring with a bright gaze. Just when he wanted to refuse, Lin Ming stroked his head and laughed as he said, "Foolish boy, take this spatial ring, because I gave it to you, you know, because I gave it to you, that means I don't lack the stuff that's in this ring."
Zhang En could only obey and take out that spatial ring.
Lin Ming then added, “From what old man Du Tian said in the hall earlier, it seemed like he was very confident that Du Leng would be able to learn the strongest moves of their clan within these three years. At that time, Du Leng will definitely become a strong opponent and become a threat to you.” His voice contained concern for Zhang En.
Zhang En lalh convinced Lin Ming by saying, "Teacher, rest assured, this disciple will work hard to be able to break through to the realm of the God Emperor within these three years."
Lin Ming only nodded and did not mind Zhang En's breakthrough in the space of three years, “Besides Du Leng, you should also be careful with that Wang Biao. I received word that the boy found a piece of pure metal essence and he was now in closed-door training, refining that metal essence right now. Three years later, he will also most likely challenge you.”
Afterwards, Lin Ming gave some cultivation lessons to Zhang En. By the time Zhang En returned to his residence.
Seeing the silhouette of Zhang En who had disappeared from the sight of his eyes, Lin Ming smiled as he shook his head, he knew that this little disciple did not seem to place Du Leng or Wang Biao in his eyes. Then, given Zhang En's monstrous talent, this arrogance like the one he showed was not a problem for him.
Back inside his room, Zhang En then opened the seal on the spatial ring containing today's congratulatory gift to him for having officially become Lin Ming's disciple. Looking into that spatial ring, Zhang En was made instantly shocked. Every place inside the ring contained many gifts to the brim with various precious treasures, Divine grade Pills, as well as potions that were hundreds of thousands of years old.
Zhang En was instantly mesmerized when he saw the sight of the contents of the spatial ring, gulping his saliva nervously.
If the items inside the spatial ring were brought to the auction, it would make him become wealthy overnight, becoming the wealthiest new rich person in the entire Star World Center.
His spiritual feeling swept into the ring room, and saw a small box of golden pills at the corner of the ring that attracted his interest. Taking one of the golden pills, a bright dazzling light shone from that golden pill while it was in his palm.
"This is an ancient Golden Pill!" Long Xioba exclaimed in astonishment.
Zhang En's eyes instantly brightened. He had heard of this Golden Pill, where ancient Immortals gathered hundreds of thousands of years old medicinal herbs and purified them using innate fire.
He immediately entered the Gold God Mountain, and immediately sat in a cross-legged position. His mouth opened and ate ten gold pills and instantly dissolved into his body.
BZZ..!
A muffled explosive sound could be heard from the inside of Zhang En's body.
In this one month, his strength had once again increased, bringing him closer to breaking through to the peak of the Semi Emperor God. The signs of a breakthrough immediately became clearer as time passed.
Within this one month, his eldest Senior Brother Dong Fang, and his Third Senior Brother Huang Rong had visited him several times, and he was able to get along well with the two of them.
Dong Fang had a gentle personality, whereas Huang Rong had a generous and considerate heart, the two of them were trying to visit their Junior Sister in their own way. They appeared in front of Zhang En's residence once every week, offering to teach him a few things about cultivation.
Both of them had been disciples of Fire Spirit Sect Master Lin Ming for over twenty thousand years and were high level cultivators of the Ten Star God Emperor realm or might have been at the realm above God Emperor.. Thus, Zhang En greatly benefited from the guidance of the two of them.
However, Second Senior Brother had never appeared even once to visit him until now.
....
Two months later.
At this time, Long Xioba then spoke to Zhang En, "After graduating and becoming a new disciple, there will be a mission outside the sect given to all the new disciples, and it is held tomorrow. You should join the other new students. ”
Zhang En nodded. As a disciple of the Sect Master, he could refuse to participate in missions outside the sect carried out by all the new disciples, however, he chose not to stand out due to special treatment. Moreover, participating in this mission as a new disciple would be beneficial to his cultivation.
From his understanding, most of the missions for new disciples were hunting demonic beasts, bandits, or ghost-like demonic beasts. Making a short calculation in his head, Zhang En predicted that he would be able to break through to the peak of the Semi Emperor God by absorbing a hundred core beast of the Emperor Star one level or absorbing a hundred souls of demonic beings in the same realm...
...
The next morning, Zhang En then walked out of the courtyard of his residence and went to tell Lin Ming before coming out of the palace that he was going to follow the mission of the new disciples executed on this day.
A short while later, he finally arrived at the Martial Arts Hall.
By the time Zhang En arrived, most of the new disciples had already gathered in the courtyard, which was very quiet, in front of the Martial Arts Hall. By sweeping through everyone around him, he saw Du Leng and Li Shao were inside the crowd of new disciples. To be honest, he was shocked when he saw the two of them here, as he never expected that they would also participate in the mission carried out by the sect's new disciples.
Based on the identities of the two of them, they should not need to participate if they were not interested in this mission.
As time passed, more and more new disciples arrived at the courtyard of the Hall.
"View.. It's Wang Biao!"
Someone suddenly shouted in the crowd.
Zhang En's gaze turned behind the crowd, and looked up as a silhouette that was flying at extremely high speed from afar made whistling sounds as he passed through the wind, it left a golden shadow of fire extending behind it.
This person was none other than Wang Biao.
In three breaths, Wang Biao had already arrived in front of the crowd of new disciples as he descended and landed on the ground. When his feet touched the ground surface, it felt like thousands of kilos of heavy metal had fallen from the sky, one could feel the ground shaking under their feet. As his feet touched the ground, Wang Biao stared coldly at Zhang En before throwing his face away without saying a word.
