Chapter 35 Sparring
But what Zhang Lingyu said also seemed to make sense.
His grandfather spent his whole life hiding and fleeing; didn't he want to return to his roots after he died?
Returning to Longhu Mountain to be buried with his fellow disciples sounds like a pretty good idea.
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Chulan hesitated and said, "I don't know how to answer Master Lingyu's request right now. May I have time to think about it?"
“Of course, this is just my master’s personal request. Lord Chu Lan may consider it at your leisure,” Zhang Lingyu replied immediately.
"Thank you for your understanding, Lingyu Zhenren."
Zhang Lingyu looked at Zhang Chulan, who was deep in thought, hesitated for a moment, and then continued, "Actually, my master had one more thing to say before I left."
Zhang Chulan looked up at Zhang Lingyu.
Why does your master talk so much?
Zhang Lingyu continued, "My master asked me to ask Lord Chu Lan if you learned any of the Celestial Master's Mansion's techniques from Uncle Zhang Huaiyi?"
Zhang Chulan's heart skipped a beat!
coming!
Is this problem truly unavoidable?
People from the Celestial Master's Mansion have actually come to inquire about the leak of the cultivation technique!
Zhang Chulan extended his little finger, making a tiny gesture, and stammered, "Um... this... that... my grandfather did pass on a tiny bit of a cultivation technique to me."
It is indeed just a little bit.
Golden Light Mantra, Thunder Magic.
He passed on almost everything that could be passed down in the Celestial Master's Mansion.
Seeing Zhang Chulan's nervousness, Zhang Lingyu comforted him.
"Lord Chu Lan, there is no need to panic. My master is not concerned about the spread of the Celestial Master's Mansion's techniques. He only said that if you have indeed learned the Celestial Master's Mansion's techniques, he would ask me to invite you to return to the Celestial Master's Mansion."
"Huh? You mean you want me to become a Taoist priest? Um... I have a question, does becoming a Taoist priest mean I can't get married?"
Xu San, who was standing nearby, whispered a reminder: "The Celestial Master's Mansion belongs to the Zhengyi Sect, and marriage and having children are permitted there."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Chulan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought he was being forced to become a Taoist priest.
The Zhang family is counting on him; he wants to have more children for the Zhang family.
“Master Lingyu, I am willing to return to the Celestial Master’s Mansion, but I have already agreed to join Nadutong as a special operations team for the North China region.”
Zhang Lingyu glanced at Zhang Chulan in surprise.
Zhang Lingyu had also heard of the special operations team.
It is a newly formed team after the restructuring of the original temporary workers of Na Du Tong.
It is a special squad designed to deal with the chaos caused by supernatural beings, and the team is inherently dangerous.
He never expected that Zhang Chulan, who looked so ordinary, would have the ability to join such a team!
"Lord Chu Lan need not worry. Many of our Longhu Mountain disciples are also working outside. If you wish, you can join the Celestial Master's Mansion and continue to serve at Na Du Tong."
Since Zhang Lingyu had already said so much, Zhang Chulan had no reason to refuse any further.
“Then… Master Lingyu, since that’s the case, I’m willing to return to the Celestial Master’s Mansion.”
Zhang Lingyu nodded. "Since you agree, would you mind sparring with me and letting me see your true strength so I can report back to my master?"
Ok?
Why do we have to spar for no reason?
To conceal his abilities, Zhang Chulan has not sparred with anyone since his grandfather's death.
Xu San, who was standing to the side, also lit up upon hearing this.
"That's right, Chu Lan. This is a perfect opportunity to have a match with Master Lingyu."
I just signed Zhang Chulan into my special operations team yesterday, but I haven't had a chance to properly see his abilities yet.
Xu San also wanted to take this opportunity to see Zhang Chulan's true level.
Seeing that his future boss had spoken, Zhang Chulan had no choice but to bite the bullet and accept Zhang Lingyu's request for a sparring match.
"Ha...haha, then let's do as Master Lingyu says and have a friendly spar."
A Taoist priest behind Zhang Lingyu subconsciously stood up. "Junior Uncle, then let me have a spar with Lord Chu Lan."
Unexpectedly, Zhang Lingyu raised his hand to stop the Taoist priest behind him.
"No need. As a member of the special operations team, let me see your true abilities."
In Zhang Lingyu's eyes, temporary workers and special operations teams are the same, since Xiao Zizai, who is also a temporary worker, has extremely strong strength.
Then Zhang Chulan, as a member of the action team, must also be a master!
When facing a master, you must be fully focused to show respect to Zhang Chulan!
As Zhang Lingyu entered the open space prepared by Xu San, she called out to Zhang Chulan.
"Come on, Lord Chu Lan! Let me see your power!"
Zhang Chulan felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the fighting spirit in Zhang Lingyu's eyes, and chuckled awkwardly.
“Master Lingyu, there’s no need to take this so seriously. Just have a casual competition.”
Zhang Lingyu thought Zhang Chulan was just being modest, so he shouted and charged forward with the Golden Light Spell activated.
Zhang Chulan looked at Zhang Lingyu, who was radiating light, and the dazzling golden light almost made him unable to open his eyes.
He could only hastily activate his golden light to meet the impact from Zhang Lingyu.
Spirit Jade Impact!
Upon colliding with the object, Zhang Chulan was sent flying backward, crashing heavily into the wall behind him.
Ah this?
Xu San and the Taoist priest, who were watching from the sidelines, both opened their mouths in astonishment.
Xu San, an outsider, couldn't tell, but the Taoist priest who came with Zhang Lingyu recognized him very clearly.
The golden light emanating from Zhang Chulan's body wasn't exactly weak, but it was certainly not strong enough.
The intensity of the golden light was like that of a Taoist novice who had been cultivating for five or six years.
It's not at all like the strength a twenty-something-year-old superhuman should have.
Seeing the pale, weak golden light emanating from Zhang Chulan's body, Zhang Lingyu's fighting spirit also dimmed.
So Zhang Chulan was just an ordinary superhuman?
Zhang Huaiyi's impressive record led Zhang Lingyu to subconsciously overestimate Zhang Huaiyi's grandson, Zhang Chulan.
I never imagined that a grandfather is a grandfather and a grandson is a grandson.
Zhang Chulan wasn't as powerful as he thought.
Zhang Chulan, who had climbed out of the smoke and dust, scratched his head sheepishly, as if nothing had happened.
"Oh dear, Master Lingyu's strength is indeed formidable. I am no match for him at all, hahaha..."
Zhang Chulan subconsciously disguised his true feelings. Although he still had some strength left, his long period of hiding made him unwilling to fight with all his might.
Let's just end this sparring match here.
Just as Zhang Chulan was laughing heartily and preparing to end the battle, a girl suddenly appeared beside him and smacked him hard on the head.
"Ouch! Bao... Bao'er, why did you hit me?!"
Zhang Chulan looked at Feng Baobao, who suddenly slapped him, puzzled, wondering why she had suddenly hit him.
All I could hear was Feng Baobao speaking with a Sichuan accent.
"Why did you end it like this? Why didn't you just show the full power within you? There are no outsiders here, you don't need to keep hiding yourself anymore."
