Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 717 - 224: Talents Arrive One After Another—Zhang Lingfeng, What Have You Done to Deserve This?

Liu Rencheng said.

"The First Elder is right, it’s impossible for Zhang Lingfeng to become a Soul Master in the future!"

"Hahaha, an absurd dream."

A group of Liu Family high-level members echoed.

"Reporting to the Patriarch, the latest news from Celestial Water City, Zhang Lingfeng entered the Celestial Master Mansion, then the Celestial Water Master suddenly used soul power to glimpse the heavenly mysteries, attempting to break through the Law, resulting in heavenly punishment befalling, leading to the protective array over Celestial Water City being penetrated through several layers."

At this moment, another direct descendant of the Liu Family rushed in to report.

"What?"

"Glimpse the heavenly mysteries?"

"Why did the Celestial Water Master glimpse the heavenly mysteries only after Zhang Lingfeng entered the Celestial Master Mansion?"

"Could there be some connection?"

Liu Guoxiong, Liu Rencheng, and others, who had just calmed their hearts, immediately became uneasy again, feeling incredulous, and that ominous premonition reappeared.

To glimpse the heavenly mysteries, attempting to break through the Law of the Black Water Star Realm, is a very rash act, even though the Celestial Water Master’s powers are transcendent, such incidents are rare.

"Do you know the reason why the Celestial Water Master glimpsed the heavenly mysteries?"

Liu Guoxiong pursued his inquiry.

"I don’t know, but in Celestial Water City, no one believes that the Celestial Water Master glimpsed the heavenly mysteries for Zhang Lingfeng. There are rumors that the Celestial Water Master is only one Law Power away from understanding the laws of Titan Star, very likely for this matter."

That direct descendant said.

"That’s quite possible."

Liu Guoxiong couldn’t help nodding.

"If that’s true, the Celestial Water Master is terrifying. Once he successfully understands the laws of Titan Star, even if we ally with the powerful beings from the Star Gate, it would be impossible to contend with him on Titan Star."

Liu Rencheng said with a face full of shock.

"Soul Masters are indeed frightening."

Liu Guotao couldn’t control his sigh. If the Liu Family produced a Soul Master, even without understanding the laws of Titan Star, they would become supreme beings on Titan Star, even comparable to the Star Gate.

The Wu Family, Hao Family, and other chaotic families would have to live under their patronage, and even the Alliance would have to show them respect.

"We must not offend the Celestial Water Master."

Liu Guoxiong secretly wiped his sweat.

Luckily, the Liu Family immediately severed ties with Zhang Lingfeng, otherwise, once the Celestial Water Master understood the laws of Titan Star, punishing the Liu Family would be very easy.

"Did the Celestial Water Master glimpse successfully?"

Liu Rencheng asked.

"External rumors say the likelihood of success is minimal, as the Celestial Water Master glimpsed the heavenly mysteries only for a brief moment, not persisting long."

The direct descendant replied.

"Alright, you may go."

Liu Rencheng waved his hand.

"To break through the Law, successfully glimpsing the heavenly mysteries is easier said than done, but nonetheless, the Celestial Water Master is a Soul Master. Even if he cannot understand the laws of Titan Star, his power is not something our Liu Family can provoke."

Liu Guoxiong said with a grave expression.

"I suggest reclaiming the resource subsidies previously given to Zhang Lingfeng to avoid any misunderstanding by the Celestial Water Master."

Liu Guotao suggested.

Upon hearing this, Liu Guoxiong looked towards Liu Rencheng and the others, Liu Rencheng thought for a moment and said: "Let’s wait and see if there is any response from the Celestial Master Mansion after Zhang Lingfeng comes out. If there is no reaction, it might mean that although Zhang Lingfeng received understanding due to the Star Gate, he did not truly receive forgiveness. Retrieving the resources sent then wouldn’t be problematic."

"The First Elder is right."

A group of high-level Liu Family members nodded.

"Ding dong."

At this time, a message from the Alliance popped up on everyone’s bracelet.

A light screen appeared in front of everyone.

"The Celestial Water Master announced becoming a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder, and will advance and retreat with the Star Gate."

"Clang!"

The teapot in Liu Guoxiong’s hand fell and shattered on the ground.

"Zhang Lingfeng came out of the Celestial Master Mansion, and the attendant of the Celestial Water Master sent a message saying the Celestial Water Master announced becoming a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder, and will advance and retreat with the Star Gate!"

A direct descendant of the Liu Family scrambled in, shouting.

"Star Gate Honored Guest Elder!"

"Not a consultant, but an Honored Guest Elder."

The Liu Family high-levels appeared as if struck by lightning.

"Why would the Celestial Water Master announce becoming a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder at this time, could it all be because of Zhang Lingfeng?"

Liu Rencheng slumped into his chair, eyes vacant.

"Could it be the Celestial Water Master had major breakthroughs while glimpsing the heavenly mysteries?"

An Elder of the Liu Family speculated.

"What could make him voluntarily become a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder?"

"Honored Guest Elder, not a consultant?"

The high-level members of the Liu Family were despondent, unable to answer.

"Could it really be because of Zhang Lingfeng?"

Liu Guotao shook his head.

"Private audience, sudden glimpse of heavenly mysteries, announcement of becoming a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder, these things are all greatly related to Zhang Lingfeng."

Liu Rencheng said.

"Can we still remedy the situation?"

Liu Guoxiong asked.

The matter is too bizarre, whether or not the Celestial Water Master successfully glimpsed the heavenly mysteries, his sudden announcement of becoming a Star Gate Honored Guest Elder signifies his protection of Zhang Lingfeng.

As long as there is this implication, it is sufficient.

At least in the Black Water Star Realm, few would dare provoke Zhang Lingfeng.

And the Liu Family happens to be, aside from the Wu Family, the one who provoked Zhang Lingfeng the most.

First, using Zhang Lingfeng against the Wu Family, almost caused Wu Chunqiu to kill him. Because of this common enemy, an arduous repaired relationship was destroyed upon learning Zhang Lingfeng was expelled from the Soul Hall by the Celestial Water Master. Now, not only did the Celestial Water Master not reject Zhang Lingfeng, but Zhang Lingfeng also gained the Celestial Water Master’s protection, the future accomplishments are conceivable.

Yet the Liu Family kicked such a presence to the opposing side and even prepared to demand the resource gifts back from Zhang Lingfeng.
