"Zhang..."

Marquis Zhuge was bewildered by the wind.

Ling Feng saw him and didn't even greet him. Could fishing be more important than becoming his disciple?

And what's Yan Fei doing joining the fun?

"Old Ge, should we catch up to take a look?"

Wang Dashan asked.

"I don't have such spare time. Find an opportunity to tell Ling Feng that he must come to see me within twenty-four hours, or else he can forget about apprenticing under me for the rest of his life."

Marquis Zhuge said arrogantly.

Being able to come to the Future City District with Wang Dashan to find Ling Feng was already putting himself down, yet when Ling Feng saw him, he didn't even say hello.

If he chased after Ling Feng now, what kind of stature would he have as the master of spear technique?

"If you were saying these words to others, that might be fine; but for Ling Feng... I'd say spare your breath!"

Wang Dashan doused his words with cold water.

"Have you seen who's following behind? That's Body Tempering Master Yan Fei, a figure of your level, and he's gone fishing with Ling Feng. If you want to show a stern face, Ling Feng won't pay you any heed."

Wang Dashan said very calmly.

Having witnessed Ling Feng's prowess himself, he knew full well that if anyone could make Ling Feng yearn to become a disciple and learn, perhaps only Ao Dagang in South City could manage it.

"You can't seriously expect me to follow him fishing?"

Marquis Zhuge said with a flushed face.

By Jiulong River's side.

Ling Feng sat at a familiar spot fishing, using the sunlight to overshadow his shadow seated upstream, while Yan Fei sat downstream, fully focused, attempting to grasp a transformation in his mental power for breakthrough.

"Principal!"

Suddenly, Ling Feng noticed Wang Dashan and a somewhat familiar elderly man, carrying fishing gear, coming down from the steps and sitting in between his shadow and him.

"Swish!"

The somewhat familiar elderly man cast out the fishing line like a gunshot, causing a sonic boom sound with natural ripples on the river surface.

Yan Fei and the shadow couldn't help but look toward him.

It was none other than Marquis Zhuge.

Marquis Zhuge's idea was simple: if he didn't show Ling Feng a skill or two, how would Ling Feng recognize his might and obediently seek apprenticeship?

Thus, after casting the fishing line, the hook seemed to have eyes, and it dragged out a mutated African fish from the river.

"Bang!"

The mutated African fish, weighing twenty or thirty pounds, landed heavily on the riverbank.

Marquis Zhuge swept out his fishing rod like a bone-removing knife, and with two effortless strokes, made the scales of the African fish fall off automatically, clearing its innards and other useless parts.

Another two light swipes, and the fish meat was sliced into pieces.

The shadow and Yan Fei both showed faces of admiration.

As a master of spear technique, Marquis Zhuge had long formed the spear momentum, seemingly casual moves actually contained potential energy, that could not be resisted by ordinary Dharma martial artists.

Ling Feng was also drawn to those few spear motions, recognizing the man as none other than the renowned master of gun technique Marquis Zhuge, frequent on TV and news.

In the recent suppression of the Catfish Demon storm, Marquis Zhuge took the initiative and stood his ground with many experts before Ao Dagang arrived, holding the pressure for South City.

Confronted with such an expert, Ling Feng felt a deep respect.

"Ling Feng, let me introduce this to you—this is the esteemed master of spear technique, Marquis Zhuge. The Life-taking Linked Spear he created has already been included in the spear technique cultivation system by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance."

Wang Dashan introduced.

"Student Ling Feng, it's an honor to meet Master Zhuge."

Ling Feng showed no negligence.

Being polite and courteous to others is a basic quality, unrelated to coasting along, especially as Marquis Zhuge indeed deserves admiration.

"Do you really enjoy fishing? I heard from Principal Wang that you've been coming here to fish daily for more than half a month."

Marquis Zhuge said coldly.

"I wouldn't say I like it, but coming here to fish makes me feel very comfortable. Isn't that the same reason you come here to fish?"

Ling Feng asked curiously.

Marquis Zhuge's expression darkened visibly, as if not for Ling Feng, he wouldn't be here braving the cold wind.

"Master Zhuge, being busy with numerous affairs, rarely has the time to come here. Today, he's fortunate enough to meet you. Having seen you possess extraordinary talent, able to cultivate the basic spear technique to the level of Third Transformation, he thinks you are a promising candidate for apprenticeship. What do you think?"

Wang Dashan hurriedly chimed in, quickly getting to the point.

"Become your apprentice?"

Ling Feng showed an expression of disbelief.

"In this world, there are only a handful of people recognized by me. If from now on you follow me earnestly in cultivation, dedicating your time to legitimate pursuits, I might make an exception to accept you as a disciple."

Marquis Zhuge warned first.

"Being recognized by Teacher Zhuge is my greatest fortune, but..."

Ling Feng looked troubled.

"Ling Feng, countless people end up with crushed heads trying to apprentice under Teacher Zhuge; don't be so ungrateful."

Wang Dashan reminded.

"Principal, I can't take overly strict teachers, you know that."

Ling Feng explained.

"Lack of strictness shows a teacher's negligence. I want to pass on my spear technique to you, and being stern with you is for your own good. If you spend every day only messing around, wasting your life and time in places like this, even with the greatest talent, you won't comprehend the essence of the spear technique. You won't be able to form the spear momentum power, do you understand?"

Marquis Zhuge spoke seriously.

"Ling Feng, Old Ge is right. You've already cultivated your spear technique realm to perfect unity. As long as you undergo another transformation, you can form the spear momentum power. Once you possess your own spear technique potential energy, you'd be a master in this domain. To be honest, the first three transformations of the spear technique accumulate power for forming the spear momentum. Without a qualified teacher to properly guide your cultivation, even with high talent, you can't cultivate the spear momentum alone. Do you understand?"
