Chapter 93 - Can I Go Against the Oath?
Liu Yue stood amongst the crowd, watching the ceremony with hatred on her face. Her blood boiled when she saw Lin Fan moving up. Unfair! Why is he so lucky?
If she did not have any grievance with Lin Fan, she might have even thrown herself at Lin Fan and claim connections with him.
No matter what, he was the disciple of Elder Tian Xu, the elder who possessed great strength and an extremely high status in the sect. He was one of the most powerful elders in the entire sect.
But Lin Fan embarrassed me in public, and he even wanted to hammer me to death! Since that’s the case, we’ll be enemies!
On the other hand, Liu Ruochen was calm about this matter. “I see that he knew how stupid he was to reject Elder Tian Xu. He’s smart enough to take his words back now. But if he believes that he can gain success just by doing that, then he’s being delusional. His strength is what matters in the end.”
Hearing Liu Ruochen’s words, a smile could be seen on Liu Yue’s face. “Elder Sister, he’s now Elder Tian Xu’s disciple. He’ll be different from now on, and he will play a big role in the sect. With the help of Elder Tian Xu, he might even establish the eleventh peak.”
Liu Ruochen did not reply. She stared at Liu Yue coldly instead. “I brought you to the sect from the village to let you have a greater view of the world, not for you to make use of my name and fool around outside. I’ll never let you go out if that ever happens again.”
Liu Yue was most afraid of her sister. “I’m sorry, Elder Sister.” She shuddered.
“Master, then why did you take me in as your disciple?” Lin Fan put on a calm expression. I’ll leave the cursing aside for now. When I get the chance, I will use those elders who bad-mouthed me as practice.
“Because when I first saw you, I saw the good in you.”
Hearing this, Lin Fan was unable to remain calm anymore. He looked around himself. There’s good in me? Is it because I shine too bright, making me give off some kind of aura unintentionally?
Soon after, Elder Tian Xu said, “Without insight, you can only see what’s on the surface, but with insight, you can see the origin and essence of everything.
“Master does not need you to be higher than the peak, near the peak is enough.”
Those words were touching, but why did they sound weirder toward the end? Are you praising me or yourself?
Shameless.
You’re just praising me to give yourself a head start so you can blow your own trumpet later. Such a smooth and skilled transaction.
But as the master, everything you say is correct. I’ll just listen and take anything good that you give me.
“Master, you’re absolutely right,” Lin Fan said.
Elder Tian Xu nodded in satisfaction. “Since you’re now my disciple, master won’t let you suffer. Here are some skillsets for you. Learn them slowly and ask when you have questions.”
Lin Fan was extremely excited. Finally, that’s the main point!
“Now you’re already in an Earth Star Border Stage Two, you have a strong foundation. Take this bottle of pills and take one every day. After a month, come and get some more from me.
“And this Earth-level middle-class weapon – the weapon that I used when I was younger. It has been with me for a long time, but I have not put it to use for a while. It’s time for it to see light again.
“It might not be a high-class weapon, but it has been with me for all my life, and the credit for my achievements in this lifetime goes to it.”
A pike appeared out of nowhere.
Elder Tian Xu caressed the pike, as if it reminded him of his youth. He was reluctant to part with the pike.
“Master, your humble disciple has something to say,” Lin Fan spoke up. “I do not use pikes as my weapon. I used a mace, but it was ruined. I hope Master can help fix my mace.”
Lin Fan took out his mace that was in a disastrous state. Elder Tian Xu was slightly taken aback, but he let out a sigh at last.
“Haish, since you have a route that you wish to take, Master will fix this for you.”
The mace was sucked out of Lin Fan’s hands into Elder Tian Xu’s hands. “It’s of a lower quality.” He then threw the mace up into the air and surrounded it with mysterious energy before changing it into a fundamental state.
Lin Fan waited slowly. He was curious to see what his mace would look like after Elder Tian Xu fixed it for him.
Crack!
A clear crack could be heard.
Lin Fan was extremely shocked.
The next second, Elder Tian Xu could be seen throwing his precious pike up into the air and refining it without hesitation.
“Isn’t that pike your old buddy? You’re merciless!” Lin Fan mumbled to himself.
But his gaze was fixed to the middle of the air. He could see the two different materials fusing into a new mace, which looked way cooler than the one Lin Fan owned originally. It was silver in color, and it shone brightly under the sun.
“Oh, it’s at its limit. What should I do with the materials left over?” Elder Tian Xu mumbled.
“Master,” Lin Fan spoke up without hesitation. “Can you make disciple a frying pan with the materials left over?”
“Frying pan?” Elder Tian Xu was at a loss.
Under Lin Fan’s description, Elder Tian Xu finally understood what Lin Fan meant. However, he was still confused. What kind of weapon is this?
When Lin Fan got his hands on both weapons, he felt extremely powerful.
A mace in his right and a frying pan in the left. Who would be able to take the joint attack of a frying pan and a mace?
Seeing that Lin Fan was happy with the weapons, Elder Tian Xu nodded happily. “Okay, you may leave. Master will take my leave now. Work hard.”
“Hold on….” Hearing him, Lin Fan immediately stopped Elder Tian Xu.
Elder Tian Xu turned back, confused. What’s wrong? Does he perhaps wish to thank me? Elder Tian Xu came to the conclusion after some thought.
But there’s no need to. This is something that I, as his master, should do.
“Master, these skillsets aren’t suitable for me. Can I change them…?” Lin Fan felt that the skillsets he had gotten were more graceful, and some were unusual skills. It was different from his usual style.
Elder Tian Xu’s heart sank after hearing this. This disciple is a tad bit troublesome, huh?
Can I go against my oath?
