Demon Dragon Mad God-Chapter 205 - 206: The Three Heroes

Boom!

At that moment, simultaneously, an almost imperceptible yet horrifying aura burst forth.

As these words were spoken, the air fell into silence instantly. Lin Feng felt a chill in his heart, but after all, he had lived longer than the Iron Spear Divine Marquis and knew that the other party was intentionally testing him. Thus, he did not show any change in expression. Instead, he knitted his brows, displaying a very unwilling and upset face: "Divine Marquis, are you intending to wrong me by leveling a charge?"

The eyes of the Iron Spear Divine Marquis gleamed with brilliance, as if they could pierce through to one’s deepest secrets. He stared at Lin Feng from beginning to end, while Lin Feng looked back at him openly and directly, without any hint of fear or evasion, his mind full of memories of the Iron Spear Divine Marquis teaching him in his past life.

The Iron Spear Divine Marquis had crossed more bridges than Lin Feng had walked roads. In fact, just like Hulan Bo, upon hearing the matters between Lin Feng and Yu Wen Tuo, he instinctively felt that Lin Feng might indeed be inextricably involved. Hence, he came today to see Lin Feng for himself. Following such questioning, The Iron Spear Divine Marquis dismissed his speculations and slowly began to sip his tea.

This Lin Feng had a clear and penetrating gaze; he had nothing to do with Yu Wen Tuo. Ordinary people would find it hard to speak in front of him, let alone lie under his watchful eyes.

"Sit down."

The tone of the Iron Spear Divine Marquis became much more amiable at once. Yu Wen Tuo was of his royal bloodline; his death naturally caused him inner grief. However, in reality, he did not particularly care for Yu Wen Tuo. Although Yu Wen Tuo had great talent, he was arrogant and imperious, unsuitable to be a benevolent king.

The Iron Spear Divine Marquis was humble and fair. In his view, the monarch of a country cannot be just a common braggart; Hu Ben Country, after all, is a small nation, and a belligerent country is destined to perish. He believed that the only way for a small country to become a strong nation was to cultivate more geniuses, to let them become the future pillars of the state—a task the Iron Spear Divine Marquis had always undertaken. Over the past decades, the disciples of the first, second, and third generations who emerged from the Divine Wind Camp had all become the mainstays of Hu Ben Country.

"Lin Feng, I’ve heard that just like Yu Wen Tuo, you’re a Ninth Grade Star, but you haven’t received the kind of treatment he did. Upon entering the Divine Wind Camp, Yu Wen Tuo could receive personal cultivation from Hulan Bo, while you, could only live in this small, shabby house with Elder Ming. Are you resentful about this?" the Iron Spear Divine Marquis asked indifferently.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng spoke honestly, "I naturally felt some resentment. But later on, I got used to it, and even found it to be quite nice—tilling the land and carrying water every day without having to deliberately complete those training tasks assigned by the instructors; it’s free and leisurely."

The Iron Spear Divine Marquis frowned, "What is it, are you afraid you can’t endure the hardship?"

Lin Feng smiled: "No, I just feel that their training doesn’t mean much to me; it’s completely a waste of time." freewebnøvel.coɱ

The Iron Spear Divine Marquis was taken aback, then burst into loud laughter, finding it interesting. This Sixth Generation Disciple actually dared to say that the training provided by several instructors was all futile.

"Do you know that each of these instructors has experiences a hundred times richer than yours, and the number of outstanding disciples they have cultivated are countless. Yet, you say their training is futile?" the Iron Spear Divine Marquis said with narrow eyes.

"Honestly speaking, everyone has their own personality and their own way to cultivate. Naturally, training cannot be generalized into one standard method. I suppose when the Divine Wind Camp was initially divided into the White Tiger and other four camps, this was the underlying intent, a preliminary classification," said Lin Feng.

"Oh? You actually discerned the intention behind it?"

The Iron Spear Divine Marquis was slightly surprised. Ordinary people thought he divided the camps solely for the purpose of competition among them, driving each other to excel under pressure for motivation. In reality, this was only part of the reason—the main one was exactly as Lin Feng had said.

Each person’s Star is different; thus, their future development paths are also bound to be different.

"Not bad, Lin Feng, both your comprehension and your strength far exceed that of ordinary people. I have high hopes for you. In my lifetime, I’ve never had a son nor have I taken in any disciples. It’s not that I’m haughty, but outside of the Star Palace, it’s hard to find good seeds elsewhere. You are the first I’ve come across in so many years."

"Your temperament is good, a rare piece of unpolished jade. Staying with Master Ming is indeed a waste. Although Master Ming can ensure you are worry-free, he cannot give you any guidance in cultivation."

As he spoke, Iron Spear Divine Marquis stood up and looked at Lin Feng: "Lin Feng, I intend to take you as my disciple. Would you be willing to accept me as your master?"

Iron Spear Divine Marquis’s words took a sudden turn, catching Lin Feng by surprise, and he immediately showed a smile.

Without any hesitation, he knelt down, "Disciple Lin Feng is willing to accept the Divine Marquis as my master!"

"Good."

Iron Spear Divine Marquis laughed heartily, appearing extremely pleased.

Lin Feng was also pleased; even if the other party hadn’t said it, he was prepared to say so himself. Fortunately, everything fell into place naturally.

"By the way, Master, what is the background of the Master Ming you just mentioned?" Lin Feng asked in confusion.

Iron Spear Divine Marquis said, "Master Ming was previously an Artifact Refiner. The Soft Scale Armor worn by the Hu Ben King during his lifetime and the pair of iron spears that I use were forged by Master Ming. However, now he can no longer refine artifacts, so we let him stay inside the Divine Wind Camp to live out his years in comfort."

Iron Spear Divine Marquis sighed, causing Lin Feng to be greatly astonished and filled with emotion. It turned out that Old Master Ming had such a significant background; no wonder he could so easily produce a Soul Jade Stone. Lin Feng could guarantee that even the Iron Spear Divine Marquis probably didn’t possess such a thing.

One should know that it is incredibly valuable. The most profitable professions on this Mainland are none other than the Alchemist and the Artifact Refiner. Both are hugely profitable trades, earning their keep with their skills. Elixirs are hard currency, able to be sold anywhere, and the same goes for weapons like inner armor.

Lin Feng had already experienced the Soft Scale Armor first-hand. Without the Inch Force Explosion, it indeed posed a big challenge to overcome - it even allowed Yu Wen Tuo, a Great Martial Master of the Second Layer, to possess an absolute defense that could ignore six thousand jin of strength, showing its terrifying nature.

As for Iron Spear Divine Marquis’s weapon, the iron spears, it goes without saying. A famous weapon like that is naturally not a common item.

"Lin Feng, now that you are my disciple, you must not slack off in your future cultivation. You are a Ninth Grade Star. Your future prospects are boundless. However, do not be arrogant. There are Xuan Grades above Ninth Grade Stars. In the eyes of ordinary people, you are an extraordinary talent, but in reality, you merely have slightly better talent. In the future, even if you cannot match those at the Star Palace, you must not be inferior to the Hu Ben Country’s Three Prodigies,"

Iron Spear Divine Marquis said.

Three Prodigies?

Lin Feng knew that the chief disciples of the Taishan Sect, Diancang Sect, and Heavenly Sword Sect were known as the Hu Ben Country’s Three Prodigies.

These individuals, all Ninth Grade Stars, were the best in terms of strength, talent, and temperament among ordinary people, beyond comparison by commoners.

"What, don’t you have confidence?"

Iron Spear Divine Marquis said, narrowing his eyes.
