“Want to learn?”

Zhang Tianwei saw the curiosity in Lin Chen’s eyes.

And envy.

So, he asked directly.

Want to learn?

Of course… he wanted to!

But was this something that could come true just by thinking about it?

Lin Chen wasn’t a child.

He couldn’t believe there could be such a good thing.

Moreover…

This person seemed to be a Xianling (Spirit Immortal) too!

At this moment, Jing Qicang’s expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, “State Preceptor, this person killed my brother!”

“So?” Zhang Tianwei asked.

“Could it be that the State Preceptor won’t avenge my brother?”

Jing Qicang’s expression became even more unsightly.

Clearly, Zhang Tianwei had no intention of doing so.

Zhang Tianwei responded, “Since the Xianling Kingdom rejoined the Empire Battlefield, it has conscripted many times, but many children of prominent families were unwilling to come, so… later, conscription was simply stopped. As a result, without the children of prominent families, we still fought our way onto the Secondary Battlefield. At this time, the children of prominent families began to participate to get on the reward榜单(bǎng dān – list). I remember that the court never issued a list to conscript anyone from your Jing clan, right?”

“Yes!” Jing Qicang nodded.

“Why was Jing Chen on the Empire Battlefield? Don’t tell me he was fighting for the country; if that were the case, why wasn’t he seen on the Primary Battlefield?”

Zhang Tianwei began to reason, “The rewards on the Secondary Battlefield became more generous, so… Jing Chen came. Moreover, the future Holy Maiden was also on the battlefield, so… he went to the ruins. From beginning to end, the court never ordered Jing Chen to do anything. As for your brother, Jing Xiao… Hehe, Zui Qingfeng told me that he once tried his best to persuade Jing Xiao to return to the Xianling Kingdom garrison with him. But he didn’t!”

“So, State Preceptor, are you saying that you won’t interfere with my Jing clan’s misfortune today?” Jing Qicang asked.

Zhang Tianwei nodded.

Jing Qicang snorted coldly, “It doesn’t matter, I can kill him myself!”

He pointed at Lin Chen.

“Oh? Fine, as you wish.”

Zhang Tianwei didn’t stop him, but smiled at Lin Chen, “Don’t run away, why not fight him?”

“Why should I listen to you?” Lin Chen wasn’t used to taking orders from others.

“Lin Chen, you… listen to Shibo (martial uncle)!”

Ji Wei finally couldn’t help but speak.

Her appearance was like that of a young wife managing her husband.

But Lin Chen was Lin Chen!

“Hehe, what if I don’t want to fight?” Lin Chen asked.

“Then you’ll die!”

Jing Qicang was very angry.

Lin Chen was also a little angry, but he didn’t show it on the surface, his face still wearing a smiling expression.

“How about this!”

Zhang Tianwei said to Jing Qicang, “He’s very fast, if he runs away with all his might, it will be difficult for you to kill him. Otherwise… how about I persuade him a bit?”

Jing Qicang was speechless.

He couldn’t understand what Zhang Tianwei was doing at all.

“Everyone, please wait!”

Zhang Tianwei cupped his hands towards everyone.

He always seemed to be so refined and amiable.

Then, Zhang Tianwei waved at Lin Chen and said, “Come with me…”

In the next moment, Lin Chen felt as if he and Zhang Tianwei had crossed through space and time.

In his ear, he could still hear Zhang Tianwei’s voice, “In fact, space-time and void are just scenery. If you can figure out how I did it, it won’t be difficult to understand once you enter my Xuanmen (Mystic School).”

As soon as the words fell, the two arrived at the summit of a snow-covered mountain.

The ground was covered with white snow.

“You can control ghost spirits?” Zhang Tianwei asked.

There was nothing to hide.

Lin Chen nodded and said, “You already know that!”

“You have a personality, no wonder Your Highness likes you…”

“Who is Your Highness?”

“Hehe… come.”

Zhang Tianwei stretched out his hand and smiled, “Do you know that countless necromancers have bodies that are decaying, but they don’t care at all, and still pursue the ultimate path of the dead? In fact, the Dao of Death is also a Dao. The power of ghost spirits lies in their ability to enhance your soul sea. In fact, you have never found the right way to use ghost spirits.”

“Enhance the soul sea!”

Lin Chen was shocked.

The dead had such uses?

What did he need to do?

It certainly wasn’t *that* with the dead!

And it certainly wasn’t swallowing the dead…

How should he use them?

“Call me Shifu (master), and you can inherit my mantle. As a disciple of the Li clan's State Preceptor of the Xianling Kingdom, you’ll have the freedom to come and go in the Xianling Kingdom in the future… Moreover, if you learn the ghost spirit possession technique, it won’t be difficult for you to kill Jing Qicang today if you want to.”

Zhang Tianwei put away his smile.

His expression was solemn, as if he was inquiring, and he seemed to care a lot about Lin Chen’s answer.

He thought that matters like apprenticeship would at least require a long time to consider.

But…

Was Lin Chen just a person?

Well, he was indeed a person.

But he wasn’t an ordinary person.

“Shifu, teach me!”

Lin Chen opened his mouth almost without hesitation.

This made Zhang Tianwei’s expression freeze… then he smiled again and said, “Fine, I’ll just let you have your way! However, since you’ve entered my Xuanmen, you can’t just learn the Dao of Death and the Dao of Ghosts; you also have to learn the Xuanmen’s Taoist techniques. Today, I’ll first pass on this method of ghost possession to you. When the battlefield is over, you can come to my Xianling Kingdom and enter the Daolun Pavilion, and I can pass on three thousand Daoist scriptures to you!”

“Okay!”

Lin Chen agreed without hesitation.

Why?

Of course, it was because there were benefits!

Before *New World* shut down, Lin Chen had stockpiled a large number of resources.

Among them, were also many forbidden spells.

However, as Lin Chen walked step by step, and came into contact with stronger and stronger worlds, he realized that… compared to these powerful forbidden spells, the forbidden spell skills he had stockpiled were simply trash!

He eagerly hoped to have more opportunities to come into contact with even more powerful things.

Now, the opportunity was right in front of his eyes.

So what could he hesitate about?

In the next moment, Zhang Tianwei closed his eyes.

And in Lin Chen’s mind, a series of pictures appeared, and on each picture there was Zhang Tianwei’s explanation, “The Dao of Ghosts is the Dao of Death… The Dao of Death, the Dao that does not die, the darkness of death or life…”

Word by word.

Endlessly.

What surprised Lin Chen was that another icon lit up in his skill bar…

[Forbidden Spell – Corpse Spirit Possession: Turns a corpse spirit above the Ghost King realm into your own soul power, increasing your soul sea area by at least 20%. The specific effect depends on the corpse spirit’s realm and strength. During possession, the corpse spirit has a chance to influence your behavior. Cost: 5% corpse soul power. Cooldown: None.]

Good heavens!

He succeeded just like that?

At this moment, Zhang Tianwei opened his eyes and looked at Lin Chen’s excited expression. There was also a hint of surprise in his eyes…

He seemed to have found a treasure!

Was his comprehension ability so strong?

Wait…

He just realized that he had never paid attention to this disciple’s aptitude.

So, Zhang Tianwei secretly investigated.

Then he was shocked.

It was actually…

A Tian Xing Zhe (Sky Walker)!

No wonder.

“Your Highness has good eyes…”

Zhang Tianwei secretly praised in his heart.

Lin Chen.

Human.

However, in Zhang Tianwei’s heart, he never cared about any race… except for one thing!

As long as they weren’t gods.

“You can try out the effect,” Zhang Tianwei said with a smile. “Don’t worry about corpse soul power. After possession, when the corpse spirit becomes a part of your soul sea, it will also be nourished, which will instead allow the corpse spirit to improve and its soul power will recover extremely quickly.”

So Lin Chen summoned Yang Yourong.

In the next moment, he used the forbidden spell!

*Whoosh!*

Yang Yourong disappeared.

“It actually increased by 50%!”

Lin Chen was shocked.

“It seems that your ghost spirit’s strength is not bad… Does she seem to have the same origin as you?” Zhang Tianwei asked.

Lin Chen nodded and said, “Yes!”

“Hehe… no wonder. A corpse spirit with the same origin can additionally increase the compatibility of your soul sea, after all, your thoughts are closer… Now, get ready, I’ll take you back.”

After Zhang Tianwei finished speaking, he put his arm around Lin Chen.

In the next moment, the two seemed to walk out of the long river of time and space.

They directly appeared in the place where Lin Chen had previously killed Ying Tiaoxing.

“He has already agreed to fight you,” Zhang Tianwei said with a smile, inquiring to Jing Qicang, “Now, do you still want to fight?”

“Second Brother!”

Jing Jiucheng shouted.

Clearly, he was reminding Jing Qicang to be careful!

At this moment, Jing Qicang’s expression was uncertain.

Zhang Tianwei said, “You can take your time to consider, I’ll announce one more thing… From today onwards, Lin Chen will be my fourth disciple, Zhang Tianwei. Everyone knows that when I, Zhang Tianwei, accept disciples, I never care what race they are. A'Niu.”

“Master!”

Qing Niu (Green Ox) transformed into a human form, then cupped his hands to Lin Chen and said with a smile, “Junior Brother!”

“Uh…”

Lin Chen was still a little unaccustomed to it.

“He is your eldest senior brother,” Zhang Tianwei smiled.

“Ah… Hello, Eldest Senior Brother. What is your realm? How powerful are you?” Lin Chen quickly greeted A'Niu, and even stepped forward to shake hands.

A'Niu smiled and said, “I am clumsy and stupid, and I still can’t comprehend many of the things Master taught me. Ten years since entering the sect, I’m only at the peak of the Third Revolution.”

When Lin Chen heard this, he immediately felt a blow.

Only the peak of the Third Revolution?

The word “only” was well-used!

But then again…

Only the peak of the Third Revolution in ten years, it seemed like it really wasn’t that good.

However, the next sentence left Lin Chen completely speechless.

“As for Junior Brother asking how powerful I am… Oh, as for the Xianling you want to kill, I should be able to defeat him in twenty… no, thirty moves… Anyway, it’s about that much, it will take some effort, but I can take him down.”

A'Niu said with a simple and honest face, and slowly added, “I… I’m not good at fighting. If it were Second Senior Brother, he should only need less than ten moves… maybe even less time. His offensive techniques should be three or four of this Xianling’s worth stronger than mine.”

Well then!

Jing Qicang had become a unit of measurement.

Jing Qicang’s expression on the side was even more unsightly at this moment, as if… he had eaten shit.

“State Preceptor, are you deliberately trying to stop my Jing clan from avenging the clan leader?” Jing Qicang said with a cold face.

Zhang Tianwei smiled and said, “Where did that logic come from? You Jing clan wants to take revenge, I have never stopped you, and it is the same now. You take your revenge, I accept my disciple, is there a conflict?”

Those were very reasonable words!

However, Zhang Tianwei’s move was clearly cutting off the Li clan and the Jing clan.

“Hmph, the State Preceptor’s intentions are clear to my Jing clan. Today is the day the State Preceptor accepts a disciple, we… will have plenty of time in the future! Third Brother, let’s go.” Jing Qicang called out to Jing Jiucheng, and then left.

“Hey, aren’t you taking revenge?”

Lin Chen even asked…

Crap!

He hadn’t even tried the effect of Corpse Spirit Possession yet!

They were leaving just like that?

“Senior Brother…” Yang Liuxin suddenly spoke.

However, Zhang Tianwei raised his hand to stop her from continuing, and said, “Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing.”

Over there, Jing Qicang and Jing Jiucheng turned into two streams of light and quickly went to the entrance of the battlefield.

The two brothers were still talking on the way.

“Second Brother, what should we do now?”

“For now, we can only find a way to tell the ancestor to deal with it… Hmph, Zhang Tianwei is too欺人太甚(qī rén tài shèn – bullying people too much). Does he really think that our clans don’t have ancestral spirits?”

The two quickly left.

Zhang Tianwei, on the other hand, brought Lin Chen to the strong experts, his face filled with smiles as he cupped his hands one by one and said, “Everyone, Lin Chen is now my disciple. If he offended anyone before, please… forgive him! Zhang Tianwei, thanks everyone in advance.”

The expressions of the experts at this time were uncertain.

They never expected that such a big farce would end like this in the end.

Zhang Tianwei came out.

With his arrival, he shocked everyone.

Then he also accepted Lin Chen as his disciple.

How could they continue fighting?

The point tokens… who would dare to snatch them now!

*Whoosh!*

At this moment, the experts seemed to remember something, and all looked at Hu Pao (Tiger Robe).

In the next moment, Hu Pao’s expression changed slightly, and he cupped his hands and said, “Congratulations, State Preceptor, for accepting an outstanding disciple… My clan has matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave!”

This time, Hu Pao really left.

In fact, before this, Hu Pao had not expected Zhang Tianwei to be here to accept a disciple.

Moreover, the disciple was Lin Chen.

He was even planning to find a chance to launch a sneak attack!

It had to be said that since Lin Chen came to the Empire Battlefield, it seemed that his actions had deeply affected every race.

Even those experts.

Even a strong expert like Hu Pao was now thinking about launching a sneak attack.

In the past, everyone wasn’t like this…

The rules of the battlefield were to compete with strength!

Who was as sinister as Lin Chen!

Look at Ying Tiaoxing… he died miserably!

Even the Harpy race had their leader killed, and they didn’t dare to fart to this day.

“Hey, wait!”

Long Yandao suddenly spoke, “Lin Chen, you are the human race’s commander of the central army. Now that you have become Zhang Tianwei’s disciple, are you human or a Xianling? Zhang Tianwei, that’s not right of you, are you just snatching people like that?”

“Hehe, Protector General, you jest.”

Zhang Tianwei cupped his hands and said, “When I accept disciples, I only pass on the Dao, and I never force them to change their position. Lin Chen is the same…”

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Ji Wei, “Uncle, wouldn’t it be good for Lin Chen to live in the Xianling race in the future?”

“See, you Xianling race are still saying you aren’t snatching people?”

Long Yandao became anxious.

“Hehe, the Holy Maiden is in love with Lin Chen, so she naturally hopes that Lin Chen will go to the Xianling Kingdom, but we never force him. As for what Lin Chen does, it’s all up to him… To reiterate, I, Zhang Tianwei, only pass on the Dao!”

Zhang Tianwei was still so refined and composed.

Long Yandao then breathed a sigh of relief.

The plot of the battlefield was about to come to an end!

Recently, quite a few chapters had been spent on battles.

The following will be a Blue Star plot.

This chapter counts as an extra update.

Today will still have four guaranteed updates!

In other words, there are still four updates today!
