Chapter 339.1. The Curtain Opens
The Third Elder revealed a slight smile on his face and said, “This kid is pretty good. At least the reward that we’ve offered is not wasted. I’ll guide him well in the future.”
Nangong Wan laughed and said, “Third Elder, don’t try to pull that trick on me. I noticed this kid first. Spiritual calling is my thing. You already have so many disciples, but I don’t even have one who’ll inherit everything that I have. I’ve already discussed this with the vice-founder. The tournament is an additional test for him. I want to him accept him as my inheriting disciple. Otherwise, why would I have asked the vice-founder to find this Class 9 stationary soul cannon shell? I’ve already spent a lot of money. There’s no way you can snatch him from me!”
The Third Elder snorted and said, “Don’t forget, he’s an outstanding soul engineer. He shouldn’t be older than twenty-four or twenty-five years old, but he’s already as good as a Class 6 soul engineer. If we continue to nurture him, he’ll definitely become a Class 9 soul engineer. The founder also mentioned before that the future will belong to soul engineers. While his soul master cultivation is pretty decent, he can’t give up on soul tools. Why don’t we both accept him as a disciple?” He knew he couldn’t win against his second brother, and thus he offered an alternative.
Nangong Wan pondered for a moment before saying, “It’s a plausible idea. However, he can only be my Inheriting Disciple. It’s fine if you want to teach him some stuff, but we’ll have to see whether his spiritual power is sufficient. Soul engineers will be the trend in the future, but soul masters are stronger for now. I’ve discovered that many academies have realized how important it is to combine both soul masters and soul tools.”
The Third Elder snapped, “Second brother, you are really calculating. You’re asking me to teach him, but he’s going to be your inheriting disciple? Hmph!”
Nangong Wan laughed and said, “Alright, alright. You must understand how I feel, too. When I accept him as my disciple, I’ll get him to return the Darkness Green Dragon.”
After hearing Nangong Wan’s words, Mocke looked very delighted and hurriedly said, “Thank you, senior uncle!”
Nangong Wan furrowed his brow when he looked at him and said, “Even if the Darkness Green Dragon returns, you don’t have the authority to possess it right now. You are too impatient; you’ll need to train for a few years first. When we return, you should learn how to develop soul tools.”
Mo Ke was stunned for a moment, then turned dismal. He looked at the Third Elder and softly said, “Teacher…”
