Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along
Chapter 593 - 180: Uncle, Aunt, There’s Fantastic News
"Buzz!"
Reaching the Fourth Grade in Divine Thought signifies the transformation from a Divine Thought Master to a Great Divine Thought Master. At this level, one’s divine thought can disrupt the balance of another’s origin power, possessing unparalleled destructive power.
Although Zhang Lingfeng has not yet reached this realm,
his divine thought has already achieved the Third Grade.
At the same time, his Sea of Consciousness Value surpasses 91.0. The divine thought waves he releases, although unable to disrupt the balance of another’s origin power, are of a power level that allows Hao Dachong and others to clearly discern that Zhang Lingfeng’s Sea of Consciousness Value exceeds 90.0.
As an emissary from Titan Star,
surpassing the Fu Family, they naturally included Super Divine Thought Masters, excelling both in strength and talent beyond Fu Rong.
How could they not sense the change in Zhang Lingfeng’s Sea of Consciousness Value?
For a moment,
the derisive expressions on Hao Dachong and others’ faces froze, each looking at Zhang Lingfeng in disbelief.
Even if Zhang Lingfeng had not become a Great Divine Thought Master, achieving a Sea of Consciousness Value of over 90.0 at such a young age is incredibly extraordinary. Not to mention on Ancient Blue Star, even on Titan Star, he would receive special cultivation.
Where did the Fu Family get such fortune to find a disciple like this?
"Ling Feng, your... divine thought?"
"Third Grade Ultimate."
"Sea of Consciousness Value above 90.0."
"Hahaha!"
After a brief shock and confusion, Fu Rong couldn’t help but laugh heartily, all his frustrations dissipating, feeling triumphant and invigorated.
His previously desolate and ashamed expression turned into one of arrogance, as he laughed at Hao Dachong and others, "You esteemed emissaries from Titan Star, can you discern whether Zhang Lingfeng’s Sea of Consciousness Value has reached 90.0? If you are confused or skeptical, I don’t mind us visiting the Detection Room to verify; hopefully, you will report truthfully that Ancient Blue Star is not some backwater place, and talents like Zhang Lingfeng can indeed emerge here!"
Fu Rong’s voice was firm and resonant, as if paying back all the grievances he’s suffered over the years to Hao Dachong and his group.
"Just having a Sea of Consciousness Value over 90.0 doesn’t make one a Great Divine Thought Master, what’s so prideful about that? Our Hao Family has such talents too!"
A member of the Hao Family retorted indignantly.
"Indeed, my younger brother became a Super Divine Thought Master at twenty-one, and now under Master Wang, his divine thought can manipulate origin power and refine basic elixir pills. Compared to him, what does Zhang Lingfeng amount to?"
"Why don’t you let Zhang Lingfeng represent Ancient Blue Star in the upcoming Star Gate festival on Titan Star in a few months? Any Inner Sect Disciple can easily outmatch him."
"If he truly had extraordinary talent, why would he only be a Outer Sect Disciple? Perhaps, through sheer luck and the aid of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, his Sea of Consciousness Value surpassed 90.0."
"If his spiritual strength isn’t robust enough to find the resonance needed for divine thought evolution, even a Sea of Consciousness Value over 90.0 would be useless."
The Hao Family continued to mock.
"Humph, one day Zhang Lingfeng will be as powerful as Hao Yuchen, or even surpass him, becoming the most dazzling Star Gate Disciple,"
Fu Rong retorted angrily.
The reason why the Hao Family could overpower the Fu Family, forcing them to leave Titan Star and immigrate to Ancient Blue Star, primarily stemmed from the Hao Family’s constant emergence of extraordinary talents and their fortunate lineage that blessed each generation with prodigies.
Hao Dachong’s brother, Hao Yuchen, is such an example.
Becoming a Great Divine Thought Master at seventeen and a Super Divine Thought Master at twenty-one, across the entire Basic Star Realm, few planets besides Titan Star could produce such a genius.
Now, as a representative of the Hao Family,
the resources and support Titan Star receives number in the tens of thousands, even if the Fu Family, as the controllers of Ancient Blue Star Gate, they still couldn’t compete with the Hao Family.
Talking about Hao Yuchen, Fu Rong was only speaking stubbornly, lacking real confidence.
"What’s the big deal? If others can do it, I, Zhang Lingfeng, can too. Become a Super Divine Thought Master by twenty-one? Humph, just wait, I’ll make it happen."
Zhang Lingfeng wanted to give Fu Rong confidence.
"Hahaha!"
Hao Dachong and others laughed again.
"Young man, don’t be stubborn. First become a Great Divine Thought Master before twenty, then appear at the Star Gate festival. Believe me, only by leaving Ancient Blue Star and reaching Titan Star will you realize this place is just a backwater. Even if you dispose of Mengba and gain control of the planet’s resources, it still doesn’t compare to Titan Star."
Hao Dachong cautioned.
"Young people should venture out more, don’t be fooled by the world before you. Thinking a Sea of Consciousness Value over 90.0 before twenty is impressive – on Titan Star, you’d just stand on the sidelines."
"Humph!"
"Let’s go!"
The group left with disdain.
"Don’t listen to their nonsense; you’ve already exceeded many expectations. But Hao Yuchen is indeed exceptional, many believed he had a small chance of becoming a Soul Master, yet even so, he is one in a million,"
Fu Rong sighed.
"No matter how strong Hao Yuchen is, rest assured, Mr. Fu, I won’t let them badmouth the Fu Family again,"
Zhang Lingfeng said, clenching his fist.
The Fu Family has been immensely kind to him; he cannot let the Hao Family humiliate them this way, especially on Ancient Blue Star, the Fu Family’s territory!
These people chattering away and disregarding the Fu Family, what a disgrace.
"Hmm, it’s the Fu Family’s honor to have you join. I’m sure my uncle will be delighted with your transformation,"
Fu Rong said, patting Zhang Lingfeng on the shoulder.
"Young Master Fu will certainly be pleased with me too,"
Zhang Lingfeng replied with a smile.
"We can’t let this group look down on the Fu Family. Perhaps I should continue adding to my Coasting Along Value in Spiritual Power and Sea of Consciousness Value. This way, I might become a Great Divine Thought Master sooner."
"This group is indeed too arrogant; we must show them something."
Ling Feng thought to himself.
"It’s a sure thing."
Fu Rong nodded.
He was so pleased, having noticed Ling Feng early on, and naturally, Fu Shanhai and the young master didn’t need any more persuasion.
"Mr. Fu, can you tell me about the Star Gate Conference? In our Basic Star Realm, how many planets have traces of our Star Gate?
What is Titan Star, and why are the Hao Family people so cocky?
And who exactly is this Hao Yuchen you mentioned? What does it mean that he became a Soul Master by a very small chance? How come I’ve never heard of him?"
Ling Feng was full of curiosity about Titan Star and the Hao Family.
He was also filled with anticipation for the so-called Star Gate Conference.
And this Hao Yuchen, does he really have Qi Fortune upon him?
"These matters take a long time to explain, let’s talk as we walk."
Fu Rong was finally relieved of a grudge, the more he looked at Ling Feng, the more satisfied he was, treating Ling Feng as his student and friend, answering every question thoroughly and seriously.
In the end, he couldn’t help but say, "Your talent far surpasses mine. If you were to become my disciple, it would only delay your future. In a few days, when you become a Great Divine Thought Master, I will introduce you to Master Yan.
Master Yan is an Artifact Refiner whose Divine Thought has long since transformed and can directly control Origin Power, capable of refining Divine Weapons. I’m sure he will be very happy to meet you."
"Thank you, Mr. Fu."
Ling Feng looked grateful.
"Don’t call me Mr. Fu anymore. From now on, when we follow Master Yan for cultivation, we are brothers. Besides, with your exceptional talent, becoming an Inner Sect Disciple is guaranteed. From now on, we’ll call each other brothers. I’ll call you younger brother, and you call me older brother."
Fu Rong suggested.
"Well, fine, Brother Fu."
Ling Feng changed his address.
He found Fu Rong even more approachable, without any airs of a Super Divine Mind Master. No wonder the Fu Family made significant contributions for humans on Ancient Blue Star during the Great Crossing River Era.
Even if the family suffered, it was not regretted.
...
Inside Fu Shanhai’s residence.
"The so-called possession is a sacrificial ritual. On Ancient Blue Star, Array Masters are rare, and no one can directly construct a Possession Array. We can only proceed step by step, starting with the smallest array and stacking them to fuse into a Sacrificial Array. This way, if something goes wrong, we can brush it off without worrying about a tarnished reputation."
Fu Shanhai was explaining arrays to the young master.
He explained how to use arrays and his power to inject his consciousness into Ling Feng’s body once the array was activated, and how to eradicate Ling Feng’s consciousness before injecting his own.
"Father’s foresight is admirable; I am ashamed in comparison."
The young master praised.
"You have lost your cultivation, and only by relying on consciousness can you triumph. These two arrays are primarily to ensure your consciousness isn’t obliterated by cosmic laws when leaving your body and can successfully enter Ling Feng’s."
"To ensure nothing goes wrong, I have decided to use arrays and medicinal liquid to help you consolidate your consciousness power, and to invite a Soul Master to crown you, ensuring your consciousness can withstand the cosmic law’s pressure."
Fu Shanhai explained.
"The Soul Master your father invited for you is from Titan Star. After his Divine Thought transformed, he didn’t choose to become a Talisman Master or Alchemist; instead, he used his Divine Thought to strengthen his consciousness, making it transform into a Divine Soul with a minuscule probability. Having him crown you will ensure that the laws of Ancient Blue Star cannot affect the changes in your consciousness."
The young master’s mother, Mrs. Zhou, said.
"I will forever remember all that my father and mother have done for me!"
The young master was moved.
A Soul Master is an existence whose consciousness has reached its peak and whose Divine Thought has transformed to the utmost. Becoming a Soul Master means being able to simultaneously become a Talisman Master, Artifact Refiner, and even an Alchemist in a very short time, combining several professions.
Even if the physical body is destroyed, the head falls, one can easily possess and be reborn through soul power, or reshape the body through soul power, earning the reputation of being immortal. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
He didn’t expect the Fu Family could still hire such a figure today.
They must have paid an unimaginable price.
"Uncle!"
"Aunt!"
"I have huge news to share with you."
Suddenly, an excited voice came from outside the residence.
"It’s my cousin!"
The young master recognized it as Fu Rong’s voice.
"Why so reckless?"
Fu Shanhai frowned. No matter how great the news, he shouldn’t lose composure like this, shouting at the door of his residence. He had to cover the arrays and books on the table.
Possessing someone else’s body isn’t a glorious thing.
Especially when the other party is a fellow cultivator from the same sect. Even though Fu Rong was a trusted Fu Family member, Fu Shanhai didn’t dare tell him about it.
