Campus Cultivation Master-Chapter 23 - 00: Becoming a Disciple
Chapter 23: Chapter 0023: Becoming a Disciple
Uncle Zhang finished speaking and immediately advanced, utilizing the movement technique from yesterday, moving with an unrivaled speed and an unpredictable pattern.
Chu Feng had yet to formally start cultivating this movement technique, so he couldn’t avoid it, but facing Uncle Zhang again, he was still very confident.
"Huff!"
Uncle Zhang made a palm strike, and the Gang Wind that followed oppressed the flowers and grass beneath Chu Feng, forcing them to bend.
The palm strike from Uncle Zhang was incredibly swift and even more powerful than his probe at Chu Feng yesterday.
Facing Uncle Zhang’s attack, Chu Feng had to be cautious in his response.
"Bang!"
Chu Feng retaliated with a palm strike, clashing with Uncle Zhang’s palm in mid-air.
A muffled sound followed, and a massive powerful energy spread out from them as the center, instantly shredding the grass beneath Chu Feng’s feet.
This was the formidable power of the Yellow Level.
"Stomp!"
But this time was different from yesterday; this time Chu Feng did not retreat, whereas Uncle Zhang did, leaving behind two uneven footprints on the grass.
Uncle Zhang’s face changed several times as he reminisced about the giant strength transmitted from Chu Feng’s arm just now.
"Did you hide your strength yesterday?" Uncle Zhang sternly questioned Chu Feng.
But before Chu Feng could answer, Uncle Zhang denied his own suspicion, saying, "Impossible! If you were hiding your strength, I would have noticed. You must have broken through just last night."
Chu Feng responded with a simple smile, saying, "Thanks to Grandpa Zhang’s pointers yesterday, I was fortunate to have made a slight breakthrough."
Uncle Zhang stared at Chu Feng for a full five seconds before speaking, "Who exactly are you? Who is your master? What is your purpose in approaching the An Family?"
Uncle Zhang was no naive child who could be easily fooled by Chu Feng.
After probing him yesterday, Chu Feng had broken through — who would believe that?
Facing Uncle Zhang’s intense questioning, Chu Feng could only say, "Grandpa Zhang, I am just Chu Feng, I have no master, and I’m not sent by anyone. My entry into the An Family was purely a coincidence. As for explaining how I managed a breakthrough, I really don’t know how to explain it. It was really just your probe yesterday that somehow led to my inexplicable breakthrough."
Uncle Zhang’s eyes turned cold as he looked at Chu Feng, "You don’t want to tell the truth, do you? Then I, the old man, must take matters into my own hands to make you talk."
As soon as Uncle Zhang’s words fell, his figure unfolded before Chu Feng and then vanished from his sight.
When Uncle Zhang reappeared, he was at Chu Feng’s back.
Chu Feng felt the forceful wind attacking his back and hurriedly turned to respond.
Although Chu Feng tried his best to turn around, he was still half a beat too slow.
With premeditation against an unprepared opponent, Uncle Zhang’s palm strike sent Chu Feng flying.
"Bang!"
Chu Feng landed on his rear, sliding a considerable distance away.
"If you still refuse to speak, today I will cripple your Martial Arts!" Uncle Zhang’s tone was icy, his aura terrifyingly cold.
Chu Feng, now angered, stood up from the ground, dusting off his backside, and retorted, "Old man, I spoke the truth, believe it or not. If you want to cripple me, I’ll make sure you go down with me even if I die."
Having said that, Chu Feng charged at Uncle Zhang like a bull.
Watching Chu Feng approach in a reckless manner, Uncle Zhang frowned.
Indeed Chu Feng was angered, so midway, he exerted his full strength.
Every step Chu Feng took left deep footprints on the ground.
Seeing Chu Feng’s sudden explosive power, Uncle Zhang’s eyes flickered. However, such a disorderly attack, regardless of its great power, posed no threat in Uncle Zhang’s eyes.
"Ah!"
Chu Feng approached Uncle Zhang, let out a fierce shout, and threw an incredibly swift punch.
Chu Feng now possessed the strength of 1500 kilograms; with such a punch, he could punch a hole even through a steel plate, let alone a person.
Uncle Zhang felt the powerful energy from Chu Feng’s fist and couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart.
Uncle Zhang shifted his feet and, using his movement technique, easily dodged Chu Feng’s attack.
Seeing that his strike missed, Chu Feng continued to attack, throwing punch after punch, each faster and more powerful than the last.
Uncle Zhang did not counterattack, but simply used his movement technique, constantly circling around Chu Feng, making it impossible for Chu Feng to even touch his clothes.
Chu Feng wildly threw punches until he was too weary to continue.
"Huff! Huff! You old undying, have the guts to stop running and have a real fight with this young master," Chu Feng said between heavy breaths.
Uncle Zhang calmly looked at Chu Feng and said, "You really don’t have a master, nor do you understand any techniques."
After probing for a while, Uncle Zhang concluded that Chu Feng was truly an ancient martial expert who had never been formally taught and was entirely self-taught.
Chu Feng replied irritably, "I told you so earlier, but you didn’t believe me, you old undying."
Uncle Zhang stared at Chu Feng for a while and then asked, "If I were to take you as my disciple, would you be willing?"
Chu Feng looked at Uncle Zhang, unsure of what he was plotting.
Uncle Zhang continued, without waiting for Chu Feng’s gaze, "I, Zhang Shisan, once swore that I would never take on a disciple until I could restore my sect. But over the years, my injuries have become more severe, and my cultivation has halted. I know now that restoring the sect is no longer possible. Had I not met you, I might have buried my knowledge with me."
Chu Feng blinked at Zhang Shisan, who appeared every bit the superior elder, and said, "You want me to take you as my master, but first, at least let me know what skills you possess. I, being extraordinarily brilliant and heroic, cannot accept a nobody as my master."
No sooner had Chu Feng finished speaking than he felt a blur before his eyes, and in the next moment, he found himself unable to move at all.
"This is one of our sect’s unique techniques, the Carefree Acupoint Pointing Hand. Once someone is immobilized by our sect’s acupoint technique, they can only be freed by a specific technique. Otherwise, only an expert who surpasses you by at least two major levels of cultivation can forcefully break through with their inner strength," Zhang Shisan said softly.
Chu Feng listened with shining eyes; this was the legendary awesome acupoint art!
If he learned this, wouldn’t he be incredibly powerful? In the future, if he saw anyone he disliked, a simple point would suffice. And, of course, if he fancied a beauty, like his beautiful boss, or even An Rongrong, a simple point would allow him to do as he pleased.
"Master! I will learn! I will take you as my master right now!" Chu Feng hurriedly said.
However, because his body was immobilized, Chu Feng couldn’t bow down to worship.
Zhang Shisan said, "Think it over carefully. If you become my disciple, you cannot quit halfway. Moreover, once you have achieved some level of skill, you must help me fulfill the unfinished wish of restoring our sect. And you must understand that on the road to restoring our sect, you will face enemies all over the world, and you may die at any moment."
Chu Feng solemnly said, "Master, rest assured, I will do everything possible to help you fulfill the wish to restore our sect."
Although Chu Feng spoke nicely, his heart wasn’t entirely on board.
Zhang Shisan had said that he needed to achieve some learning accomplishment before taking on a mission, but what counts as having learned something?
Being unrivaled under the heavens, that’s what counts as truly having learned something. Until he reached that level, Chu Feng had no intention of undertaking any mission to restore the sect.
Conversely, if he were to become unrivaled under the heavens, then achieving the small task of restoring the sect would be both easy and enjoyable.
Seeing how readily Chu Feng agreed, Zhang Shisan released Chu Feng’s acupoint and said, "Our sect has no strict rules; you just need to remember your mission. As for everything else, you can keep it simple. I see the internal cultivation methods you practice are stronger than our sect’s Beiming Divine Skill, so I will not teach you the Beiming Divine Skill.
You should continue practicing your own internal cultivation methods. From the hour of 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. each day, I will teach you our sect’s martial arts. Later, you leave your address with me, and I will come to find you."
"Master, wait, did you say we practice the Beiming Divine Skill? Could our sect be the Heavenly Sect?" Chu Feng asked, stunned.
Zhang Shisan nodded and said, "Our sect is indeed the Carefree Sect, though it’s not the same as the Carefree Sect in the novels. I will explain more to you later."
"Damn! So the things from novels have come to reality," Chu Feng wondered in his heart.
Zhang Shisan said, "Now run your internal cultivation method for me to see. I’ve noticed you possess Yellow Level strength, but lack Yellow Level cultivation; I’ll see what the issue is."
