Chapter 257: Chapter 115: The Awkward Yan Sansan
Yan Sansan was indeed a genius, and it was true that he always reciprocated favors, but it was also true that he liked to show off and act arrogantly despite his young age.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have managed to arrange a meeting here with Fei Ling and Su Yunzhe, to compete with them at the same time.
He initially thought that after overpowering the two masters in one battle and taking the opportunity to break through to the Galaxy Realm during his competition with Mo Hong, he would become the most dazzling one in everyone’s eyes. He had never dreamed that Zhang Xuan would suddenly appear and totally steal his thunder…
The adversary hadn’t even broken through yet, but was already evenly matched with Mo Hong. If he did break through, wouldn’t he be even more formidable?
However, at present, the three great masters were all interested in him, vying to take him as their disciple—a point his competitor couldn’t match!
“Let’s start then!”
The decision being made, the three of them didn’t want to waste any more time, and Zhou Cang smiled lightly, “Come over and give it a try. Just seriously channel your Heavenly Destiny Power.”
“Yes!”
Yan Sansan took a deep breath and stepped forward.
Although he didn’t know which of the three his understanding of the fragments of the heavens suited, with their capabilities, it was an opportunity for him to soar to greater heights no matter who it was.
Excited, he reached his arm into the ring of light while silently channeling his Gratitude Destiny.
A stream of Heavenly Mandate Vitality slowly gathered toward him, but the ring of light remained motionless without any change.
“Have you channeled your heavenly destiny?”
Zhou Cang’s smile froze on his face.
Yan Sansan felt awkward.
“Hahaha, I told you he’s my disciple, and you didn’t believe me. Looks like your ten meals are on me…”
With a hearty laugh, Feng Yuanping looked over at the young man, “My dear disciple, why not give mine a try!”
After saying this, he lightly tapped his finger, and a ring identical to the other one appeared in front of everyone.
“Yes!”
Yan Sansan breathed a sigh of relief.
This one seemed even stronger. Training with him didn’t seem bad either.
“Is it also just placing my hand in and channeling heavenly destiny?” he asked with slight hesitation as he approached.
“Exactly!”
Feng Yuanping nodded, “Rest assured, the moment I arrived here, I sensed my disciple in this very room. If it’s not you, then who else could it be?”
Seeing Feng Yuanping so certain, Yan Sansan breathed a sigh of relief. Delight and excitement covered his face as he stretched his arm inside the ring.
After waiting for a moment, Feng Yuanping’s smile also froze on his face, “What do you feel?”
Yan Sansan thought for a moment, “It feels warm and comfortable…”
Feng Yuanping’s eyelids twitched, and he looked helplessly toward Miao Hengsheng, who was standing not far away in black, “This disciple is yours!”
“Hahaha, I’ll take those ten meals and the golden soul pearl without hesitation. Truly sorry about this!”
Old Man Miao stroked his beard and laughed heartily, unable to contain the excitement in his eyes.
Since he wasn’t their disciple, this genius naturally belonged to him.
With a gentle tap, a similar light ring appeared in front of him, “My good disciple, prove it to them so they finally give up…”
“Yes!”
Although Yan Sansan felt a great blow from his two unsuccessful attempts, he still walked over with big strides.
This man’s power seemed even mightier, it seemed that fate was purposefully saving the best for last…
As he mulled over various thoughts and channeled his Gratitude Destiny again, the light ring remained as silent as a sheet of iron, without a hint of disturbance.
A flicker in his eyelids, Yan Sansan suddenly had an ominous premonition and hastily channeled his heavenly destiny again, but the light ring remained utterly still.
His face turned pale in an instant.
It was over. He had intended to show off and gain back some face in front of Zhang Xuan, but now it seemed he had only made a fool of himself…
“Ah, this…”
The room was dead silent, and everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Even Shi Yunjing, Qian Yuhuan, and the others were a bit stupefied.
The three great masters had come full of confidence to find a disciple, competing fiercely, but after multiple trials, none chose him…
“It’s not you?”
Miao Hengsheng also snapped back to reality, glaring sharply at Zhou Cang, “Elder Zhou, is this the person you were looking for?”
“I…”
Zhou Cang, slightly aggrieved, “Among all the people present, his talent is the highest, so I thought he was the only one qualified to be my disciple…”
Miao Hengsheng’s eyelids flickered, thinking the other had some basis for his choice, but it turned out it was just because he saw the highest talent. However, he would have made the same choice—after all, who wouldn’t want a disciple with the highest talent?
Seeing that the three of them hadn’t chosen him, Yan Sansan, after his initial disappointment, clenched his teeth, “Honored seniors, although I’m not the person you were looking for, I do pride myself on my decent talent. I could serve as an outer disciple and follow you for life…”
“Go play elsewhere!”
Miao Hengsheng flicked his sleeve dismissively.
If the three of them truly wanted a disciple, thousands of people wishing to be apprentices could line up around Zouyi City in just a few days. His talent might be decent, but compared to those true prodigies, it was still far inferior…
Ignoring the red-faced Yan Sansan, Miao Hengsheng looked around the room, searching, when he heard Zhou Cang’s voice.
“Are you the Zhang Xuan that Leader Qian recommended just now?”
Miao Hengsheng looked over.
The young man in front of Zhou Cang, about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, was tall and thin, with a handsome face that conveyed a sense of freshness. His spirit moved, and the other’s cultivation level immediately came to mind.
Dharma Manifestation Realm Peak strength, not too high.
“Yes…”
Zhang Xuan bowed with a clasped fist.
“You too, give it a try!”
Zhou Cang gestured, “Although your talent seems a bit lower, as long as you cultivate my heavenly destiny and become my disciple, you can also make a name for yourself and become a master of this era.”
“I’m sorry, I don’t plan to take on a master, so there’s no need to test!”
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Empyrean Kong shi had wanted to take him as a disciple, and he hadn’t agreed, let alone this person…
Besides, although this person hadn’t displayed his heavenly destiny, Zhang Xuan could affirm that no one had cultivated the “Pathos of Heaven” destiny before, and he was the first.
Therefore, to test or not to test, there was no point.
“Don’t want a master?”
Not expecting such a good opportunity to be in front of him and the other person to reject it, Zhou Cang looked displeased, “Do you know who I am? What does rejecting me signify?”
Qian Yuhuan also looked anxious, “Young Master Zhang, don’t be reckless…”
“No matter what it signifies, I currently have no plans to take a master!”
Zhang Xuan shook his head.
Watching this, Yan Sansan’s face was full of regret.
Had he known there was no chance, he would have also refused, and now, damn it, he had been outplayed by this guy again…
“Since you’re not interested, I won’t insist, but there’s no harm in trying!”
Seeing that the person in front was indeed uninterested, Zhou Cang hesitated for a moment, then lost his previous solemnity and smiled slightly, “Moreover, as I said earlier, as long as our heavenly destinies are the same, you can absorb this light ring into your body. It not only helps in advancing your cultivation but can also transform into tens of thousands of Heavenly Mandate Vitality streams, aiding your comprehension of heavenly destiny to reach a higher level…”
“Tens of thousands of… Heavenly Mandate Vitality?”
Zhang Xuan’s eyes immediately lit up.
