Chapter 84 – Mortal Spiritual Body
Everyone’s attention was on the crystal in Zhao Feng’s hand. The circle suddenly condensed then stopped again, then jumped again.
The change made the hearts of those watching clench. Lord Guanjun immediately swallowed what he was going to say, the change had almost caused him to give a wrong evaluation. After all, this was his first time seeing something like this.
Only Zhao Feng knew in his heart that his potential didn’t exceed two circles.
Two and a half circles … Three circles… Three and a half circles…
Under the heat of his left eye, the amount of circles reached three and a half and still kept condensing.
Three and a half… Four circles… Four and half circles…
Many of the people held their breaths. Four and a half circles was the best in the Ten Sky Guards excluding Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei. Zhao Feng realised that five circles was a whole entire level, but after the fourth and a half circle was condensed progress slowed down. Suddenly, another pulse of heat was released from his left eye.
Four circles and a half… Five circles!
A faint green color appeared as the fifth circle condensed. This was the limit that Zhao Feng could reach without using the powers of his left eye because he knew Lord Guanjun would be able to sense it.
“The fifth circle has appeared, but it’s slightly weaker than Feng Hanyue’s. It should be a half spiritual body.” Lord Guanjun’s expression turned normal once again.
It was obvious that Zhao Feng’s potential was just below Feng Hanyue’s and it didn’t give him a surprise.
“Half spiritual body? Not good enough.” Bei Moi took the crystal with disappointment in his eyes.
It was obvious that he had overestimated Zhao Feng.
“Master, which ones are you going to take?” Third Guard asked.
“Not one of them are good enough to be my core disciple.” Lord Guanjun shook his head.
Up to now, the only one that pleased him was Bei Moi. Hearing this, the youths all turned bitter.
“But this generation of Sky Guards Battalion is indeed stronger than before. Some of them can become my outer disciples.” Lord Guanjun’s words twisted.
Outer disciple?
Feng Hanyue and co.’s eyes lit up.
Although it was highly unlikely to become a core disciples, it was still a dream to become his outer disciple. Lord Guanjun was a legend in the Cloud Country, even Martial Masters begged pointers from him. If they could become his outer disciple, they would have the chance to receive teachings from him.
Furthermore, Third Guard and Ye Linyun were only his outer disciples.
“Outer disciples? Which ones?” Ye Linyun asked.
“These two both have a Spiritual Body so they have no problems becoming my outer disciple.” Lord Guanjun looked at Feng Hanyue and Zhao Yufei.
“How about Zhao Feng? He’s the youngest here and he has a high cultivation, his memory is better than Bei Moi’s, he also came first in the mission… ” Ye Linyun quickly said.
Zhao Feng was the genius he took from Sun Feather City and he had high expectations of him.
“It’ll be hard with his half-spiritual body… ” Lord Guanjun said after some thought.
But seeing that both Third Guard and Ye Linyun seemed to praise him, he couldn’t help but laugh: “Oh well, let him be. Taking three disciples in at once breaks my record.”
As Lord Guanjun decided, Ye Linyun and Third Guard smiled at Zhao Feng. Zhao Feng also returned grateful looks.
“Master, you won’t regret taking him in.” Ye Linyun said confidently.
“Oh?” Lord Guanjun didn’t know where Ye Linyun’s confidence came from.
Ye Linyun didn’t explain. He remembered the aura Zhao Feng that had released when performing his skills back at the Zhao family. It was something that most ninth ranks couldn’t do and at that time, Zhao Feng was only at the fifth rank.
“Feng Hanyue, Zhao Yufei, Zhao Feng. From today onwards, you’ll become outer disciples of Lord Guanjun.” Third Guard announced.
“You don’t need to be so formal since you’re just outer disciples.” Lord Guanjun smiled faintly.
His sight scanned across Zhao Feng and the other two before resting on Bei Moi. It was only then did he give a true smile. Zhao Feng and the others understood that outer disciples would only occasionally receive pointers. Sometimes, outer disciples would not get anything at all.
Lord Guanjun only had Bei Moi as a core disciple and it was the latter that would be fully raised by him. After the Master-Disciple ceremony, the other seven Ten Sky Guards l
