Chapter 40: Becoming an Apprentice

  "Thank you, Dean, for your support."

  Lin Yun knew it all too clearly. This time, the Dean was releasing pressure on himself, completely to help himself. After all, under pressure, his cultivation had broken through two levels in a row, from an initial low-level warrior to a high-level warrior. If he followed normal cultivation, who knows how much time it would take.

  "No need to thank me, it's all your own credit. I really didn't expect that someone who has been doing odd jobs since childhood would turn out to be a genius with unlimited potential. Lin Yun, do you know why I've called you this time?"

  Nodding, this is of course known. Although the beautiful teacher's heart was not happy about revealing her own secret to others, she also did it for his own good. He didn't pursue the matter further, and besides, this time he came, without mentioning whether he could find a solution to the two kinds of attribute-specific martial skills, just by being promoted two ranks, it was already enough.

  A high-level martial artist, believing that with his talent, he will soon break through to become a peak martial artist. At that time, he can step into the realm of the Martial Guest.

  Martial artists are divided into three realms: the Innate Realm, the Transcendent Realm, and the Void Realm. The Innate Realm is further divided into Martial Artist, Martial Guest, and Martial Master. To acquire attributes of a different kind, one must first raise their cultivation to the level of an Innate Martial Master. Originally thought to be an unattainable goal, it now seems that becoming an Innate Martial Master isn't too difficult after all.

  "Dean, I won't hide it from you. Previously, I accompanied Teacher Tong to the Heavenly Punishment Forest and unexpectedly encountered a pre-heavenly third-grade spirit beast, the Ice Fire Giant Python. Helpless, I don't know what happened, but I directly absorbed his blood. When I woke up, I discovered that I already possessed two different attribute innate martial skills. As for the reason, I still don't know until now."

  "Can you show me your two innate martial skills with different attributes that you possess?"

  "Of course."

  Lin Yun did not launch an attack, but instead applied the ultimate martial arts techniques of two different attribute powers to his fists. His left fist was a deep red color, representing the fire attribute power of the Fire element, while his right fist was a transparent blue color, representing the ice attribute power of the Ice element. The two attribute powers were like two completely different ultimate attribute powers. Seeing the youth's dual fists displaying two different attribute powers, the middle-aged man seemed to be somewhat surprised.

  "It's truly hard to imagine, if not seen with one's own eyes, that in this world, there actually exists someone who can possess two completely different attributes and powers at the same time, and it appears on a congenital martial artist."

  As for his own situation, Lin Yun was also depressed. He knew he was a peerless genius and couldn't help but be a bit strange, having two different attribute techniques with the same name was already unusual enough, but to have them be fire and ice attributes was just too much.

  "Dean, I possess two completely different attribute powers. Later on, when my cultivation breaks through to the realm of Innate Martial Artist, it will be very troublesome when I encounter attribute foreign species?"

  Nodding, the middle-aged mainland man said: "Indeed, it will be very troublesome. If not handled properly, when your cultivation breaks through the boundaries of a pre-heavenly warrior and you encounter an attribute-alien species, the two different attributes' powers within your body will collide with each other. At that time, there can only be one outcome - you will die from being struck by the collision of the two attribute powers."

  I'm screwed.

  In his heart, he cursed loudly. Lin Yun never thought that having two different attribute powers would cause so much trouble, colliding to death?

  "Don't worry about this for now, according to my calculations, and with your talent, at your current level of cultivation, wanting to break through to a Pre-Heavenly Master will take at least three years. Within these three years, I'll find a way to resolve your matters."

  "Thank you, Dean."

  "You're welcome, and from now on, don't call me Dean anymore, it's quite awkward."

  "What should I call you then?" Lin Yun seemed a bit puzzled, if he didn't address him as Dean, what should he call him?

  "My name is Gu Di, if you are willing, I'd like to take you as my apprentice, what's your thought on this?"

  Shrimp rice? Take yourself as a disciple? Lin Yun was also surprised to hear that the Dean wanted to take him as his disciple, after all, their status was far apart, one was a disciple of a declining family, and the other was the Dean of Tianfa Academy. Generally speaking, how could the Dean possibly take him as his disciple? It seems that Gu Di had seen his talent and was willing to do so.

  Lin Yun had heard that the Dean of Tianfa Academy had never accepted a disciple in his life, and now he was going to take him as his apprentice, which was indeed unexpected.

  "Don't you want to?"

  "Of course, I wouldn't be unwilling," Lin Yun said, not daring to hesitate in the slightest. Being able to acknowledge a super strong master as his own was something he couldn't ask for more. In this world, having a powerful backer was always better, after all, with a backer, one would have advantages wherever they went. He immediately knelt down and kowtowed three times, shouting: "Master!"

  "Alright, very well, Lin Yun, since you've asked me to be your master, I'll now pass on a set of internal energy cultivation techniques to you."

  "Master, I don't want to learn."

  "Why?" The old emperor seemed surprised that his own disciple did not want to learn the inner skill, after all, as the head of the college, he didn't know how many people wanted to learn his inner skill, but now someone directly refused in front of him.

  "I won't hide it from you, Master. Initially, I unintentionally picked up a book on internal energy techniques. After practicing for less than half a month, I transformed from an ordinary person to a congenital martial artist, so..."

  Lin Yun hadn't finished speaking, but the meaning was already clear. Gu Di seemed surprised to hear that his own disciple had gone from being an ordinary person to a Xiantian Martial Artist in just half a month. He finally understood why Lin Yun wasn't willing to learn his internal skill anymore.

  "In that case, it's better to continue cultivating your inner skills. As for martial techniques, you already possess two different attribute ultimate techniques, and as for external techniques, I have some extremely weak ones here. Ah yes, Yun'er, I also have a set of concealment techniques here that you should find useful."

  Stealth technique?

  As for external martial arts, Lin Yun didn't look down on them at all. Just like the Sword Remnant Chapter he possessed, which recorded various sword moves that were incredibly powerful and seemed to be no less than his innate martial arts when compared side by side. And as a super strong master, the external martial arts he taught him must not be anything ordinary.

  "Cloud, now pay attention to remember the incantation, go back and cultivate well, until you reach a small success, unless someone's cultivation is much higher than yours, otherwise they won't be able to detect you. From now on, I'll help you think of ways to deal with two different attributes, you just need to cultivate well."

  "Thank you, master."

  "We are not outsiders, no need to be like this," said the ancient emperor, passing on his own skills, that is, the art of concealment to his only disciple. After finishing the transmission, Lin Yun also did not linger and left the room.

  This time, Lin Yun unexpectedly paid respects to a master, which turned out to be a good thing. From the moment he saw his master for the first time, Lin Yun knew that this master he had just paid respects to didn't seem like a bad person. Not only did he help him think of a solution, but also taught him the Hidden Movement Technique.

  Lin Yun didn't return to the thatched hut, but instead went to Tong Yu's dormitory. Just before he left, what he said seemed a bit too much, and he wondered if the beautiful teacher would be offended.

  Entering the dormitory, Lin Yun saw the beautiful teacher sleeping and slowly walked to her front, quietly and quickly kissed her left cheek. At this time, Tong Yu suddenly woke up, found that she had just been kissed by Lin Yun, her face changed suddenly, and exclaimed: "Lin Yun, what are you doing?"

  "Beautiful teacher, I'm really sorry about what just happened. I know I spoke a bit too harshly, so let me make it up to you now."

  "Hum, is it compensation? Or is it a kiss?"

  "Hehe, you looked so beautiful just now when you were sleeping, I couldn't help myself, so I kissed you, consider it as my apology."

  Shameless, utterly shameless to the extreme. Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Tong Yu was so angry that she had never seen anyone as shameless as him, who could turn black into white. She snorted: "You don't need to be smooth-talking with me here. I won't pursue what just happened, but remember this: if you dare touch me again in the future, I'll make sure you pay with your life."

  Die? Seeing the beautiful teacher, he really got angry. Lin Yun also stopped smiling and said seriously: "I know, unless you agree, I will never accompany you again. Alright, don't be angry."

  Seeing the other's sincere apology, Tong Yu also didn't dwell on it and asked: "This time when the principal found you, did he come up with a solution to solve your problem?"

  When the beautiful teacher asked herself, Lin Yun felt a warm current in her heart. No matter what time it was, Tong Yu was always concerned about herself. It was precisely because of this that he said without any concealment: "Not for the time being, but Master will help me think of a way."

  "Master? Who are you calling master?"

  "Beautiful teacher, you don't know this time I went to see the principal, didn't expect him to accept me as his apprentice and even teach me the art of hiding."

  When she heard that the principal had accepted Lin Yun as his disciple, Tong Yu was overjoyed and jumped up from the ground. After all, she knew very well how terrifying the principal's strength was. Lin Yun being able to become the principal's disciple was a great fortune.

  "Good, it's rare for the principal to be willing to take you on as a disciple. You must seize this opportunity well, Lin Yun. I'm telling you, the principal is not an ordinary person. His power far exceeds your imagination. Following him, you will definitely have a boundless future."

  "I'm following him, aren't you going to follow me?"

  "You're talking nonsense again."

  "I didn't speak nonsense."
