Guo Wei was momentarily bewildered.

Seeing Zhang Lingfeng intently practicing spear skills, continuously releasing spear intent power, he couldn't interrupt directly and could only watch Zhang Lingfeng in silence as he released waves of spear intent over and over. He also had to guide him from the side, all the while unable to stop thinking that maybe he was too strict; Zhang Lingfeng might want to apprentice under him but was too afraid to dare.

Should he find another opportunity to explain properly to Zhang Lingfeng, letting him know that if he was willing, he could ease the teaching pressure?

"Pa!"

At that moment, Zhang Lingfeng tossed the long spear back onto the Soldier Landing Platform and, wiping his sweat, said, "Mr. Guo, I'm tired and want to take a break."

"Uh, okay, then you take a break first, and practice again later."

Guo Wei nodded.

Zhang Lingfeng's cultivation attitude was indeed a bit rude, but to have him become his apprentice, Guo Wei decided to take a step back and start now to earn Zhang Lingfeng's trust. Once Zhang Lingfeng was his student, he would then think of ways to properly correct his cultivation attitude. After becoming an apprentice, he surely wouldn't run away, right?

"Hmm, thank you, Mr. Guo."

Zhang Lingfeng expressed gratitude and then glanced at the text in front of him.

[You refused to apprentice under Guo Wei, fully embracing the Coasting Along approach, and gained 4399 points of Coasting Along Value.]

After refusing to become Guo Wei's apprentice, this line automatically appeared. At the time, to avoid giving it away, Zhang Lingfeng focused all his attention on the spear technique.

Seeing an increase of 4399 points of Coasting Along Value at once, he felt both surprised and pleased. Although the value didn't surpass that from Ao Dagang, it was evidently related to his own enticing, or in other words, Guo Wei's strength couldn't compare with Ao Dagang's, thus the Coasting Along Value he earned was relatively less.

But no matter what, gaining 4399 points of Coasting Along Value at once could effectively improve his combat power. Zhang Lingfeng decided to find a secluded place to enhance his strength after cultivation ended.

Some time later, after finishing cultivation, Zhang Lingfeng bade farewell to Guo Wei, who hesitantly said, "Ling Feng, the real way of teaching is to balance work and rest, and to encourage mutual progress. My approach before was indeed a bit severe; I will gradually correct it, and from now on, no matter who becomes my disciple, I won't resort to hitting or scolding."

"Actually, I don't think there's anything wrong with your teaching method. No matter what, you mean well for others. I believe one day everyone will understand your intentions. Thank you, Mr. Guo, I'll take my leave now."

Zhang Lingfeng stated earnestly.

"Alright, see you tomorrow."

Guo Wei felt a bit excited inside, suddenly finding Zhang Lingfeng to be a sensible person.

On the way back, Zhang Lingfeng couldn't help but check the related information.

Coasting Along Value: 4516

Thirteen Forms of Spear Intent: (1711/5000)

Bloodline Power: Five Elements Wind Leopard (89/8000)

Sea of Consciousness: (3.11/100)

Spiritual Power: (0.99/100)

Physical Fitness: 358.1

Combat Power: 1211.3

"The reason I've been unable to awaken my spiritual realm is mainly due to my spiritual power not being strong enough. If I add these more than four thousand points to it, I might be able to awaken the spiritual realm within a few days, at which point my combat power will surely skyrocket again."

"It's just that Mr. Guo came from afar, only to gain more resource assistance from me. If I could help him gain recognition by making the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance think that under his guidance, I awakened to the Second Layer of Spear Intent power or resonated with more of the power of heaven and earth, he would be satisfied."

"This Coasting Along Value was gleaned from him; if I help him achieve his wish, he won't have come in vain."

Zhang Lingfeng thought quietly to himself.

Despite Guo Wei's severity, Zhang Lingfeng was full of gratitude towards him, willing to try to repay him in this matter.

"But the old man said, to let one's spear intent resonate with more of the power of heaven and earth, I should focus on enhancing spiritual power and strive to form resonance between spear intent and the power of heaven and earth before the spear intent transforms. Otherwise, after its transformation, resonating with other powers of heaven and earth becomes incredibly difficult."

"So... what should I do?"

Zhang Lingfeng was visibly torn.

The Five Elements Spear Intent that Guo Wei spoke of stirred his longing; if his own spear intent could reach such a level, Guo Wei would gain face as well.

He understood that once the spear intent transforms, it becomes difficult to resonate with other powers, just like Guo Wei, who had already comprehended the Third Layer of Spear Intent, but the power it resonated with was always just wind.

After the transformation of spear intent, the power it resonates with becomes more inseparable, making it hard for other powers to integrate.

Therefore, Guo Wei always helped Zhang Lingfeng find the corresponding resonance power, hoping he could form a stronger spear intent and resonate with more of the power of heaven and earth.

Helping Zhang Lingfeng awaken the Five Elements Spear Intent would allow himself to gain recognition from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, becoming a true Spear Grandmaster.

"Tomorrow I'll ask the old man before making a decision."

After much thought, Zhang Lingfeng decided not to rush in enhancing his power, and to have a proper talk with Guo Wei the next day to hear his opinions.

The next day.

Zhang Lingfeng saw Guo Wei again in the Cultivation Room.

He also noticed the addition of a lot of nutrient water in the Cultivation Room, even a towel, two chairs, a table, and some fruits and snacks.

"Mr. Guo, what's all this?"

Zhang Lingfeng asked curiously.

"You may not be aware, but recently I had a bit of an epiphany and suddenly realized that cultivation should balance work and leisure; burying oneself in hard cultivation will only be counterproductive.

So from now on, when we cultivate, the pace should slow down, and we should take it step by step to see if there's any new enlightenment."

Guo Wei explained.
