Swordsman the Wanderer
Ch. 386 - The Surprise and Joy of Lin Ming
In the palace residence of the Spirit Sect Master, Lin Ming who was relaxing in the main hall, was being seen enjoying the pot of tea that was on the table.
“I want to know how the boy did it. Third, or fourth?” His soft voice rang out in the hall, muttering to himself. Others might not know Wang Biao's true strength, but he did because of his high cultivation level.
He placed high hopes on Zhang En, understanding how talented his little disciple was, and yet, as high as his expectations were, and how talented his little disciple was, he said, he was not naive enough to believe that Zhang En was fighting Wang Biao who was a late stage Second Star God Emperor cultivator.
As for the disciple named Du Leng, with the power of the Second Star God Emperor realm and the supreme god technique of their clan, his strength was no weaker than Wang Biao. Hence, the reason why he told Zhang En that fighting for the top three was already good enough.
At this moment, he saw his eldest disciple Dong Fang enter the main hall with a very hasty move.
All along, this eldest disciple, always calm and gentle, he had never shown such a side in front of him, sparking Lin Ming's curiosity.
"What's up..? Why are you in a hurry and look confused.” Lin Ming spoke up and asked.
"Teacher...!" Dong Fang looked at his Master just as he walked into the main hall, quickly greeting Lin Ming. However, he had yet to find a way to tell his Master the details of the tournament between the outer disciples this time around. Just a moment ago, when he heard the results, he was stunned on the spot before he thought of telling his Master and rushed over quickly.
Lin Ming slightly frowned at Dong Fang's expression and asked, "Has the tournament already been decided..?"
"Yes Master, the position of the top ten rank is already set." Dong Fang respectfully replied.
Lin Ming glanced towards Dong Fang, his voice slightly grim, “What is your juniors brother's rank? Third, fourth or fifth?"
Dong Fang's expression immediately became a little strange, strengthening himself with a deep breath, trying his best to speak calmly, "Teacher, younger brother-in-law ranks first...!"
Lin Ming nodded wisely, but had yet to fully examine the words his disciple spoke.
"What?! First rank? You said your little brother took first place? ” A while later, Lin Ming finally reacted. His hand stopped in midair while holding the teacup as his head jolted with an incredulous expression looking at Dong Fang.
Dong Fang nodded seriously, excitement shining in his eyes, “True, Master. The fourth junior sister became the 1st champion, moreover, she defeated Wang Biao with just one strike..!"
The cup in Lin Ming's hand slipped, falling to the floor with a thud, but it was completely ignored by the two of them. Lin Ming's eyes widened as the contents of his head buzzed.
"The fourth elder brother not only broke through the realm of the God Emperor, he even advanced into the realm of the Second Star God Emperor." Dong Fang continued his words while trembling with excitement, "The power of one Fourth Sister's attack can even tame the stage of the Battle Dragon Arena, its strength is comparable to that of a Three Star Emperor realm cultivator...!"
"After he had defeated Wang Biao with a single strike, it frightened Du Leng so much that Du Leng did not dare to fight him." Dong Fang continued excitedly.
What was said after that did not enter Lin Ming's ears. To him, the world suddenly became silent. A moment later, suddenly, Lin Ming burst out in a thunderous, uncontrollable laughter, until he forgot himself.
This Zhang En had given him a shock, a huge shock that was extremely overwhelming..
...
Half a day later, the ranking of the hundred outer disciples in the tournament had been announced.
Zhang En defeated Wang Biao in a single strike, scaring Du Leng to the point of not daring to fight it spread like a wild storm, blowing into every corner of the Star Galaxy.
The high-level cultivators of the ancestors, and the patriarchs of the great clans, as well as the first rank noble clans were all shocked.
After Zhang En received his gift, he returned to his teacher's residence palace and met Lin Ming, Lin Ming stared at him for half a day. Causing his body to goosebumps before he managed to find an excuse, allowing him to leave in the presence of his teacher.
Zhang En's victory at the battle between outer disciples caused a huge shockwave throughout the power that existed in the star galaxy for nearly a month before finally calming down.
Within this one month, Zhang En had only stayed inside his Master's palace to cultivate and did not come out.
After breaking through to the Second Star God Emperor realm, Zhang En noticed that the time he could stay in the Demon Realm had increased to roughly one day. When his Qi was depleted, his Qi recovery period was now reduced to a little over an hour. He was happy with this discovery. Jni greatly increased Zhang En's effectiveness and cultivation speed.
Originally, Zhang En had estimated that he would need four years to break through to the Three Star God Emperor realm. Now, he'll need a year or two at most.
Days passed, roughly two months had passed since the tournament between the outer disciples.
On this day, Zhang En ended his routine cultivation.
"I'm supposed to have my own yard now." Zhang En thought to himself.
Although the spiritual energy in his Master's residence was very abundant, it did not help Zhang En much, as the spiritual energy in the Demon Realm was much purer and higher. Most importantly, it was inconvenient for him to cultivate here in the long run.
He did not want to expose the secrets in his body at this moment, this included Lin Ming. Therefore, Zhang En decided to move out of his Master's residence.
Each disciple within the Fire Spirit Sect could have their own residence courtyard. He was already a cultivator of the Second Star God Emperor Realm and ranked first as an outer disciple, he was more than qualified to be promoted to an inner disciple.
In the Spirit Sect, before an outer disciple could be promoted to an inner disciple, they would have to meet two conditions. One, reaching the realm of God Emperor and second, was placed within the top thirty ranks that had strength among all outer disciples.
After deciding, Zhang En walked out of the Lin Ming residence, he headed for the Martial Arts Hall to take out his inner disciple robe and identity token as an inner disciple.
