Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 472 - 135: Teacher Wang, You Feel So Approachable
Ling Feng turned keeping one bottle into keeping two bottles, then looked at Wang Defa expectantly.
"Then I’ll graciously accept."
Wang Defa said with a smile.
"Ah?"
Ling Feng was stunned.
Something’s not right here!
"Hmph, you brat, put away your little tricks. I don’t need this Spiritual Spring Water. If I want it, I have all sorts of ways to get it."
Wang Defa sneered.
As a Divine Realm expert, how could he not see through Ling Feng’s intentions?
"Thank you, Teacher Wang."
Ling Feng quickly stuffed the other two bottles of Spiritual Spring Water into his arms.
Human nature cannot withstand temptations.
"How does it feel to have been in the spotlight today?"
Wang Defa asked with a smile.
"Feels amazing."
Ling Feng replied frankly.
"And after the excitement wears off?"
Wang Defa inquired.
"Of course, I’ll go back and cultivate seriously, striving to achieve good results in the next assessment."
Ling Feng responded without hesitation.
"What makes you think you can always achieve good results?"
Wang Defa looked puzzled.
"I have a good mindset, indifferent to worldly struggles. If I don’t achieve good results, it’s no big deal."
Ling Feng thought for a moment, explaining.
"Hmph, do you know what the key is to becoming a Martial Dao student of the continent test?"
Wang Defa snorted.
"Naturally, it’s having strength surpassing everyone else, like Young Master Qin, becoming a powerful Realm Traveler."
Ling Feng replied.
"Qin Qianyu was born with a Spiritual Root, but you weren’t. You can’t compare to him. Although your qualifications are decent and your potential is excellent, if you can’t awaken a Spiritual Root, you ultimately won’t stand out."
Wang Defa reminded him.
"Please enlighten me, Teacher Wang."
Ling Feng detected an implied meaning and quickly bowed in salute.
"I’ve investigated you, studied you, and observed you for a while. I think you currently lack neither resources nor opportunities, but there’s one thing missing."
Wang Defa said solemnly.
"What is it?"
Ling Feng’s curiosity was piqued.
"You’re missing a mentor who can help you nurture a Spiritual Root and lead you to soar."
Wang Defa stated emphatically.
"This..."
Ling Feng’s eyes lit up.
Even an idiot could understand Wang Defa’s implication. Unable to contain his excitement, he said, "To be honest, ever since I met you, I’ve felt a certain closeness to you, an uncontrollable urge to draw near..."
"If you’re thinking of taking me as your master, you’re not qualified yet!"
Wang Defa impatiently waved his hand. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
With the telepathy of a Divine Realm expert so powerful, Ling Feng couldn’t yet comprehend it. His behavior appeared very fake and insincere in Wang Defa’s eyes.
Wang Defa wouldn’t fall for it!
"Uh... Then what do you think it takes to be qualified?"
Ling Feng asked.
"Nurture a Spiritual Root, within the Sixth Grade."
Wang Defa stated directly.
"Uh..."
Ling Feng’s expression stiffened. By the time he managed to nurture a Spiritual Root and become a Realm Traveler, he would already be a Martial Dao student of the continent test.
It seems that this wool from a Divine Realm expert can’t be sheared right now.
"You have no confidence?"
Wang Defa sensed the wave of despondency in Ling Feng’s heart and was startled. Was his demand excessive?
But if Ling Feng couldn’t even handle this, what right did he have to acknowledge Wang Defa as a master?
"Oh, not at all, I will try my best to nurture a Spiritual Root and meet Teacher Wang’s requirements as soon as possible."
Ling Feng said earnestly.
"Good, I hope that day doesn’t come too late."
Wang Defa nodded, then waved Ling Feng away.
Ling Feng stood and bade farewell.
Though he held three bottles of Spiritual Spring Water, for some reason, his heart felt empty, as if he’d lost something invaluable.
He could clearly perceive that Wang Defa had great expectations for him and a strong desire to take him as a disciple, but it all inexplicably vanished.
"Could it be like last time with Master Ao, where my emotions gave me away!"
"Teacher Wang is a Divine Realm expert, a supreme existence. His telepathy is extraordinary, and he can see through my little tricks at a glance."
"Sigh, when facing such figures in the future, I need to be more sincere; otherwise, it’ll backfire."
"I just don’t know what level the spiritual power of a Divine Realm expert is at?"
"I better not overthink it and quickly enhance my Ability through the all-day nurturing of my Dantian Sea of Qi, moving from Classroom Two to Classroom Three!"
Ling Feng sighed internally.
In his eyes, Wang Defa was like an unshakable mountain. Every move he made couldn’t escape that pair of eyes.
He was an existence that shouldn’t be challenged or disregarded.
Thinking about the three bottles of Spiritual Spring Water he obtained from Li Dahong, he realized he had offended Li Dahong regardless. Even with Wang Defa and the Qin Family backing him, the pressure was still there.
Strength not one’s own is ultimately unsettling.
Only by quickly improving his strength and status can he withstand the pressure from Li Dahong.
Therefore, filling the Dantian and achieving Perfection in the Sea of Qi is urgent.
If he could reach this realm in the shortest time, maybe Wang Defa might change his mind and accept him as a disciple earlier.
With this thought, Ling Feng knew that in the upcoming days, he needed to continue practicing Coast Along to the fullest.
However, he had already gained substantial Coasting Along Value and corresponding Ability from playing Mahjong. Once the Ability awakens, continuing in the same activities would make it difficult to gain significant Coasting Along Value.
Thus, he needed to change his strategy.
Change to a different way of coasting along, preferably by organizing a group, finding a few people to accompany him.
He thought again of Li Xiaoshuang and the others.
He believed they now had a strong grudge against him, were likely racking their brains to stop him from enhancing his abilities, so if he approached them, they probably wouldn’t refuse.
