Hearing this, Zhao Feng finally understood. No wonder 1st Elder was silent when he heard Zhao Feng’s wish and both Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master tried to please him.
But no matter how people or the Heavens calculated, Zhao Feng had rejected both and he would rather have another wish.
This meant that no matter whether 1st Elder agreed or not, he was going back on his word.
“You must agree to something if you become my disciple.” 1st Elder continued.
“What is it?”
Zhao Feng didn’t know that the situation would suddenly change.
“Give-up-Lightning-Wind-Palm!” 1st Elder said one word at a time.
Zhao Feng was stunned - why would he want Zhao Feng to give Lightning Wind up?
Why did he choose to not take in any more disciples?
Suddenly, everything clicked.
Zhao Feng remembered what Sister Yuan had said: “Yang Gan had a friend who had trained the Lightning Wind Palm, but later… ”
Back at the gathering, Yang Gan had warned Zhao Feng: Life is more precious than Lightning Wind Palm.
Could it be that Yang Gan was 1st Elder’s disciples? And that his friend was also one, but he had trained the Lightning Wind Palm and died?
“1st Elder, are you Yang Gan’s mentor?” Zhao Feng asked carefully.
Yang Gan was ranked 2nd out of the 10 Core disciples and the second Zhao Feng spoke out, everyone nearby nodded their heads.
1st Elder was silent and his eyes became dim. Zhao Feng caught a tinge of hate and pain from his eyes. It could be imagined that the person who had trained the Lightning Wind Palm was definitely a prodigy, but he had passed away due to this skill.
“Zhao Feng, what’s giving up a skill to become 1st Elders’ disciple?”
At this time, old man Zhang of the Clan Mission Division couldn’t resist coming over and warning him. He was, after all Zhao Feng’s teacher.
“Give up Lightning Wind Palm?”
Zhao Feng’s eyes were full of decisiveness.
How could his will be swayed by others?
Zhao Feng never regretted choosing this skill. During cultivation, he would always use his left eye to scan for flaws and push the danger to a minimum.
He once analysed that the Lightning Wind Palm was roughly created, like the creator hadn’t perfected it yet. Therefore, Zhao Feng was not only training this skill, he was perfecting and improving it.
“You must not be willing! You’re too similar to Chen’er back then, he had the same expression as you back then and he said the same thing… if I didn’t take him as my disciple, I would regret it!” 1st Elder looked complexly at Zhao Feng, like he was someone else.
“Elder! I will promise what he said before too. What he couldn’t finish, I will.”
A surge of confidence appeared from Zhao Feng.
