The King of North of the River looked shocked.

"This... I... Ling Feng is exceptionally talented, grasping things immediately. I never expected him to find the source of the Spear Intent in such a short time."

Guo Wei felt a bit embarrassed.

"Teacher Guo, we won't disturb your cultivation anymore."

Chu Yuyan said promptly and left the Cultivation Room with the King of North of the River.

"Sir, why is Teacher Guo so powerful?"

After they exited, Chu Yuyan exclaimed with admiration.

"Zhang Lingfeng should not be underestimated either. His talent is far from ordinary. If he can remain in Jiangbei Province and serve diligently, there might be hope for Jiangbei to become a third-tier province in the future."

The King of North of the River saw the potential but kept it to himself.

His heart was eager.

During this period, Zhang Lingfeng had awakened the Spear Intent at his residence and found its source. Now, he only needed to activate the fifth level of Dharma Aspect and form a Spiritual Realm.

Once these two things are achieved, advancing to the third round will be a certainty.

After such a person undergoes deep training at the academy, he is destined to become a great general. Therefore, it's necessary to bond with him in advance, and perhaps find an opportunity to take him as a disciple for safety.

In this Martial Arts World,

the relationship between a master and a disciple is like a contract.

It allows Zhang Lingfeng to follow his lead.

However, as he understood, Zhang Lingfeng was very selective, and not everyone could take him as a disciple. Ao Dagang was previously rejected.

So, to make Zhang Lingfeng willingly acknowledge him as a master, he would need to show some real skills.

Realizing this, the King of North of the River felt it necessary to get to know Zhang Lingfeng again.

Of course, as the King of Jiangbei Province and the only Five-Element Telekinesis Master there, he was in no rush, confident no one could steal Zhang Lingfeng from under his nose.

"Teacher Guo, don't be angry. Although I didn't cultivate well in front of you, I always pondered over what you taught once I got back, thinking deeply every night,"

Zhang Lingfeng lied to increase his Coasting Along Value.

"It seems I misunderstood you."

Guo Wei said calmly.

In fact, he knew Zhang Lingfeng didn't cultivate well after going back. He either played games, interacted with female streamers, or danced in the square at home.

Knowing Zhang Lingfeng's usual conduct, he felt that Zhang Lingfeng was hopeless, which made him angrier, and he finally decided to quit, fearing his reputation would be tarnished.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingfeng's talent indeed wasn't bad.

Even without much cultivation, he could find the source of the Spear Intent, which truly opened Guo Wei's eyes.

Thinking about his purpose in Jiangbei Province, it was mainly to become famous and achieve life value through a student's identity in the upcoming national exam.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have accepted the King of North of the River's invitation.

The King had mentioned Zhang Lingfeng several times, stating how outstanding he was, which Guo Wei believed, leading him to teach Zhang Lingfeng cultivation.

He wanted to establish his fame through Zhang Lingfeng and receive more resource subsidies.

Originally thinking it was a waste of time, he didn't expect Zhang Lingfeng to open his eyes.

Thinking of this, Guo Wei's anger dissipated, and he began to plan internally.

He said to Zhang Lingfeng, "Let's practice again so I can see if your power is stable and if there's a potential for evolution."

"Alright."

Casually practicing without fatigue or rush, Zhang Lingfeng didn't refuse.

After a round of power release,

Guo Wei was astonished internally.

Zhang Lingfeng not only found the source of the Spear Intent but his control over it was also nearing Master Level.

The evolution of the Spear Intent was a certainty in the future.

According to the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance's reward rules,

helping a Martial Dao student evolve their Spear Intent would lead to an upgrade in cultivation resource subsidies.

Guo Wei suddenly realized that Zhang Lingfeng was a raw jade that should not be neglected.

"Teacher Guo, when I was in South City and became a Master of Gun Technique and Body Tempering Master, my two teachers received rewards. I wonder if you can get rewards now that I've found the source of the Spear Intent?"

Zhang Lingfeng suddenly asked.

"There certainly are, but they need to go through various verifications to prove that your progress is related to me."

Guo Wei laughed.

"That's good." Zhang Lingfeng sighed in relief but then felt a bit regretful, "It's just a pity."

"What is a pity?"

Guo Wei asked curiously.

"Principal Wang once told me that if I became a disciple of Teacher Zhuge or Teacher Yan and bonded with them, they would receive more resource subsidies, and I would also get many rewards when my strength broke through. It would have been great if I had such a fate with you, Teacher Guo."

Zhang Lingfeng casually lamented.

"Boom!"

Saying this, he began practicing the Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms, unleashing the Spear Intent Power to the extreme.

For a moment, spurred on by Zhang Lingfeng's words, Guo Wei could almost see countless vines encircling the spear, seeming as if anyone stepping into Zhang Lingfeng's spear technique would be bound and constrained by these vines, ultimately pierced through the throat by Zhang Lingfeng.

Having comprehended the Spear Intent, Zhang Lingfeng was a genuine Spear Grandmaster, especially after finding the source of the Spear Intent. At this moment, as the long spear danced, the aura from his body was dazzling and praiseworthy.

Guo Wei couldn't help but think that having such a disciple wouldn't just mean resource subsidies—it would elevate one's fame significantly.

In the future, when others mentioned Zhang Lingfeng, they would inevitably think of him, Guo Wei.

He couldn't help but fantasize.

Thoughts soared with Zhang Lingfeng's spear technique reaching its climax.

"Boom!"

Zhang Lingfeng pierced through the wall of the Cultivation Room with a single strike.

Turning around, he looked seriously at Guo Wei and said, "Teacher Guo, a Spear Grandmaster of your reputation from a third-tier province must surely look down on students from a fourth-tier one and wouldn't take them as disciples, right?"

Thinking of Old Deng's inaction, Zhang Lingfeng realized that sometimes one must take the initiative, or else the opportunity might slip away.

"No, you misunderstood."

"In my eyes, it doesn't matter which province one comes from. As long as they cultivate seriously and strive for progress, they have great potential. When I take disciples, I don't look at their background, only their talent, and I think you are just right."

Guo Wei said hurriedly.

The atmosphere had reached this point, leaving Guo Wei with little time to think more.

"You mean?"

Zhang Lingfeng's eyes widened with excitement.

"Zhang Lingfeng, you are extraordinarily gifted and intelligent, a rare talent in spear techniques out of ten thousand. I admire you greatly and wish to take you as my disciple; would you accept?"

An opportunity not to be missed, Guo Wei quickly said.

"I refuse!"

Zhang Lingfeng replied without hesitation.

"Ah?"

"What?"

"You refuse?"

"Then earlier, you--?"

Guo Wei asked repeatedly, feeling something was amiss.

"Teacher Guo, you know my character. I'm not serious about cultivating or focusing on things. If I were to become your disciple, I fear you'd dismember me one day. Learning under you, I'm already very satisfied, and I've never hoped for a formal apprenticeship."

Zhang Lingfeng said quickly.

"There's a lot I haven't absorbed from your teachings these days. Could you help me see where I might be going wrong?"

After talking, Zhang Lingfeng swiftly wielded his long spear again, unleashing the Spear Intent vibrations to get some guidance from Guo Wei.

"No, you..."

Guo Wei felt something was off.

But he couldn't pinpoint what the issue was.

Watching Zhang Lingfeng continuously release waves of Spear Intent, he wanted to speak several times but paused, ultimately watching Zhang Lingfeng finish unleashing the Spear Intent in silence.

He couldn't help but wonder, had he misunderstood something?
