Vol 2 Chapter 116: Zhou Cang Accepts a Disciple
"Indeed! These are rely eting gifts. As long as it’s confird that our fates align, tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, millions, or even over a billion strands of Heaven’s Fate Energy are not hard for to provide!"
Seeing that Zhang Xuan wasn’t interested in becoming his disciple yet seed so eager for Heaven’s Fate Energy, Zhou Cang, though frustrated, couldn't help but speak up.
"Over a billion strands?"
Zhang Xuan's breathing grew rapid.
With that many strands, his Pathos of Heaven’s Fate could break through to the second stage in an instant. He could also cultivate other Heaven’s Fate to his heart’s content, never having to worry about this again in the future…
In that case, becoming a disciple didn’t seem entirely out of the question.
"Old Zhou, have you no sha? Using Heaven’s Fate Energy as a bargaining chip? Young man, don’t listen to him. Co over and try mine first. If our fates are compatible, you can absorb and take all the Heaven’s Fate Energy in this halo too!"
Feng Yuanping smiled gently, his finger lightly tapping the halo. A surge of robust Heaven’s Fate Energy imdiately poured into it, exuding an intoxicating aura. Just one glance told Zhang Xuan there were at least over a hundred thousand strands—clearly more than Zhou Cang's offer.
"Why not give mine a try as well? Beco my disciple, and you can have as much Heaven’s Fate Energy and dicinal herbs as you want."
Miao Hengsheng also pointed his finger, injecting three to four hundred thousand strands of Heaven’s Fate Energy into his halo.
"This…"
Watching the three experts all being so welcoming, Zhang Xuan looked torn but eventually shook his head.
Using the Library of Heaven’s Path, he could learn any Heaven’s Fate without being detected, but doing so would an he had to leave with them. In that case, rescuing Kong Shi would be impossible.
More importantly, Zhang Xuan carried too many secrets. Short-term interactions were fine, but following them for long periods would risk exposure.
The Library of Heaven’s Path and his identity as a Chaotic Fate Practitioner were far too dangerous. If discovered, the bond of teacher and disciple might not protect him…
With his current strength, he could still hold his ground against experts like Shi Yunjing or Qian Yuhuan. But facing these three? They could probably chase him to a new world and kill him on the spot.
"I appreciate the goodwill of the three seniors, but I must decline the test. Although I’m unsure of the specifics of your Heaven’s Fate, I suspect that the individuals you seek are among them."
Zhang Xuan gestured toward his disciples behind him.
He didn’t know why the three had co searching, but it was likely similar to what happened with Zhao Ya and Zheng Yang back then—the talents of his disciples during their assessnts had caught soone's attention.
"Among them?"
Hearing his refusal and seeing him point to others, Miao Hengsheng frowned. His gaze fell upon the group Zhang Xuan indicated.
They were all around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, with the strongest one at the Dharma Aspect Realm. Compared to soone like Yan Sanshisan, their talents seed far inferior.
"Yes!"
Zhang Xuan nodded. "If you don’t believe , feel free to try."
"Very well."
Seeing that Zhang Xuan was unwilling and had even pointed to others, Miao Hengsheng, though displeased, nodded. With a light push of his palm, the halo expanded to envelop everyone present.
"Each of you, activate your own Heaven’s Fate. If it resonates with mine, you’ll be able to absorb the halo’s energy."
Miao Hengsheng instructed.
Letting the halo cover everyone was a strain, even for him. This was why he hadn’t done it initially. However, since he’d already lost face once, he couldn’t afford another embarrassnt.
"Understood!"
Upon hearing his instructions, Luo Ruoxi and the others nodded and activated their respective Heaven’s Fate. In an instant, the halo was drawn to Wei Ruyan, pouring into her body.
"This… this…"
Miao Hengsheng trembled, his face lighting up with excitent.
It seed Zhang Xuan was right—his disciple was indeed among them.
He hurriedly turned to the figure absorbing the energy—a young woman in her early twenties, with a cold deanor and a slightly frail build.
"This is… the Sacred Constitution of Poison?"
Realizing what he’d seen, Miao Hengsheng's pupils contracted, and he trembled with excitent.
No wonder she could comprehend the Heaven’s Fate of Poison. It turned out she possessed the Sacred Constitution of Poison—a talent even he coveted.
While others had to be cautious in cultivating the Heaven’s Fate of Poison, she could treat poisons like daily als...
"As expected of my disciple! Exceptional talent and extraordinary looks!" Miao Hengsheng laughed heartily.
Not only was this young woman talented, but she was also beautiful—truly impressive!
"My turn!"
Not wanting to be left behind, Feng Yuanping expanded his halo, enveloping the group as well.
The next mont, the halo’s energy surged into a young man.
"Good, good…"
Feng Yuanping laughed in satisfaction.
He had worried that the person attuned to the Heaven’s Fate of Souls might be too old or lacking in talent, but now, he couldn’t be happier.
"What’s your na?"
Unable to contain his excitent, Feng Yuanping asked.
"My na is Lu Chong," the young man replied with a cupped fist.
He was one of Zhang Xuan’s quieter disciples, Lu Chong.
"Good!"
Feng Yuanping nodded. "Would you be willing to follow and train under my guidance?"
Lu Chong glanced at Zhang Xuan, who subtly nodded. Only then did he bow and reply, "I am willing."
"Excellent, excellent!"
Feng Yuanping smiled and turned to Zhou Cang. "Old Zhou, we’ve found our disciples, each with exceptional talent and outstanding aptitude. It’s your turn now."
"My disciple is definitely among them!"
Not wanting to be outdone, Zhou Cang grunted. "Once I find them, I’ll treat them like my own child!"
"Like your own child?"
Miao Hengsheng nodded. "You haven’t changed a bit. Alright, let’s see who’s lucky enough to be your disciple."
Zhou Cang pushed his halo forward, enveloping the group like the others.
"Wait, nothing’s happening?"
After a mont, the halo remained unmoving, showing no signs of resonance.
Zhou Cang was stunned.
How could this be? The others had their halos absorbed just like that. Could his disciple not be among this group?
"My dear disciple, where are you?"
Feeling conflicted, Zhou Cang muttered to himself. Just as he considered expanding the halo, he noticed a large horse walk in from the back. It raised its head and took a deep breath.
Whoosh!
In an instant, the entire halo’s energy was swallowed.
