Shocking World War Emperor-Chapter 13 Lingering Spirit
Chapter 13 - 13 Lingering Spirit
"Worthless trash, what did you say?"
A second-tier Cultivator angrily shouted.
A good-for-nothing who can't cultivate also dared to yell at them, Cultivators?
At this moment, Ling Fei stopped the second-tier Cultivator and looked towards Ling Chen, faintly smiling and said, "It seems you haven't woken up from your dream of genius! No way around it, it looks like I need to take action personally to help you face reality!"
Indeed, his two subordinates were more than enough to handle Ling Chen, but how could that compare to personally teaching a lesson to Ling Chen who was once doted on by the family? That would be more satisfying indeed.
Hearing him, the two second-tier Cultivators understood Brother Fei's thoughts, and their faces revealed a schadenfreude expression.
Even they could easily teach Ling Chen a lesson, not to mention Ling Fei, a true third-tier Qi Condensation Cultivator!
Ling Chen did not say a word, just slightly curled the corner of his mouth, a sneer emerging.
If not for waiting for the Steward's response, he would have already taught this fellow a proper lesson! A mere mid third-tier Qi Condensation cultivation, he truly didn't take it seriously. Although he was also at the third-tier Qi Condensation level, his Spiritual Power was far superior compared to cultivators of the same realm.
Seeing that Ling Chen didn't respond but instead looked down on him, Ling Fei's face turned livid, he coldly said, "Worthless trash, dare to fight outside?"
"Do you dare to make a move here?"
Ling Chen responded with a slight smile.
Fighting was prohibited within the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
If one dared to fight within the Spiritual Medicine Hall, it would certainly bring the Law Enforcement Team from the Punishment Hall. As is known, once taken by the Punishment Hall, most would come out skinned. Ling Fei, possessing mere third-tier cultivation, really didn't dare to act recklessly in the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
Of course, outside the Spiritual Medicine Hall, it was highly encouraged by the Ling Family to spur the competitive spirit of the younger disciples.
Hearing this, Ling Fei gritted his teeth in rage.
This trash, actually using the family rules to deliberately provoke him, deserved to be killed!
Just at this moment, two figures quickly approached from afar.
"What are you doing?"
The person leading was a middle-aged man dressed in a black and gold long robe, exactly the apparel of a Hall Master.
This man was Ling Tianxuan, the Hall Master of the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
Behind him followed the Steward mentioned earlier.
He had heard that Ling Chen possessed a third-tier Qi Condensation cultivation and had put aside everything he was doing, rushing over eagerly.
Improving to third-tier cultivation in two days, even he had never heard of such a thing!
"Meet the Hall Master!"
Ling Fei and his two men hurriedly showed their respects.
Normally, they found it extremely difficult to meet the Hall Master, this time they just came to collect the Spirit Revitalizing Pill, and now they were fortunate to meet the Hall Master, how could they not be thrilled?
"Hall Master."
Ling Chen looked at the man in the black and gold robe and slightly bowed.
"What were you just doing? Perhaps you were thinking of starting a fight in my Spiritual Medicine Hall?"
Ling Tianxuan asked coldly.
The subtle tensions between the two parties just now, how could he, a mighty Spirit Sea Realm expert, not sense it?
Ling Fei's face immediately turned as white as paper, he quickly waved his hands, saying, "No, not at all. We were just exchanging pleasantries with Cousin Ling Chen."
"Yes, yes."
The two second-tier Cultivators also quickly nodded.
"Is that so?"
Ling Tianxuan looked towards Ling Chen.

Previously, Ling Chen was found to have no cultivation talent. From what just occurred, he could easily guess the motives of Ling Fei and his companions.
Hearing this, the expressions of Ling Fei and his two men tightened, Ling Fei even giving Ling Chen a meaningful eye contact—not merely a threat.
"Yes."
Ling Chen nodded.
He scorned relying on Ling Tianxuan to discipline these few guys.
Hearing this, Ling Fei and his companions also relaxed considerably, Ling Fei stealing glances towards Ling Chen as if to say: kid, you know your place.
"Fine, seventeen eighteen years old, just reached third-tier Qi Condensation, really don't know what progress is! Don't you hurry back and cultivate?"
Ling Tianxuan cast a somewhat disdainful glance at Ling Fei and the other two.
"Yes, yes, yes."
Ling Fei and his companions quickly responded.
Then, without even collecting the Spirit Revitalizing Pill, they hastily ran out of the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
"Follow me."
Ling Tianxuan scrutinized Ling Chen, his eyes filled with even greater perplexity. With his cultivation at the Spirit Sea Realm, he strangely could not sense any Spiritual Power emanating from Ling Chen—truly bizarre!
"Okay."
Ling Chen nodded and followed Ling Tianxuan.
The three of them entered a spacious room, where Ling Tianxuan dismissed everyone, including the Steward.
Before Ling Tianxuan could speak, Ling Chen stretched out his right hand, and a black light emerged.
He obviously knew the purpose of Ling Tianxuan and didn't bother waiting for his query, choosing instead to explain with a demonstration.
"Can you really cultivate now?"
Ling Tianxuan's eyes revealed surprise.
He had been present when Ling Chen's awakening failed that day.
Yet, unexpectedly, in just two days without seeing each other, not only had Ling Chen developed Spiritual Power, it had even reached the third layer of Condensing Gas Realm!
"What kind of special constitution do you have? A Super Spiritual Body?"
Ling Tianxuan's gaze was fervent as he stared at Ling Chen, breathing slightly hurried.
He knew such a cultivation speed was unheard of, even Ling Tianxing, who possessed an ordinary Spiritual Body had never achieved it, thus he was certain Ling Chen must have awakened a special constitution.
Ling Chen shook his head and said indifferently, "It's not any special constitution, just a five-star talent."
"That's impossible! Such speed can't be achieved by mere five-star talent!"
Ling Tianxuan asserted emphatically.
Ling Chen was prepared, saying, "I am not lying to you! It's because I used an Elixir left by my father that I broke through to the third layer of Condensing Gas Realm!"
His father, Ling Tianxing, had been the strongest Cultivator in Guangling City, and also the possessor of a Fire Spirit Body.
Such a reasoning, he believed, would be uncontestable even by the Family Head.
The treasures owned by his father surely couldn't be surmised by the mere Family Head of the Ling Family.
Thus, saying this, no one else could suspect him.
"Is that so?"
Ling Tianxuan sounded a bit disappointed.
Now, with the Ling Family gradually declining, they urgently needed a genius to reverse their misfortunes. If there indeed had emerged an owner of a Spiritual Body, their Ling Family would certainly rise again. Not to mention a Super Spiritual Body, even an ordinary Spiritual Body would suffice!
Just, regrettably, their hope, Ling Chen, had failed in his awakening.
After a moment of silence, Ling Tianxuan looked at Ling Chen, smiled and said, "Not awakening a Spiritual Body isn't a big deal, a five-star talent is also good, you might advance to Spirit Sea in the future, keep it up!"
"Mm."
Ling Chen nodded slightly.
Even if Ling Tianxuan did not say anything, he would not give up. What he had awakened was an extremely mysterious constitution, a Sacred Body surpassing even the Super Spiritual Body!
Moreover, his father was still waiting for his rescue!
"Mm, you can go back now, you came to collect the Spirit Revitalizing Pill, right? Just go ahead and collect it, I've informed them."
Ling Tianxuan nodded.
"Hall Master, the young one takes his leave."
Ling Chen bowed slightly, then turned and left.
Upon returning to the grand hall, as he approached the window, indeed, the Purple Robe Steward handed over a bottle of Elixir.
"Thank you, Steward."
Ling Chen bowed slightly to the Steward, took the Jade Bottle, and left the Spiritual Medicine Hall.
However, just as he stepped out of the Spiritual Medicine Hall, his eyes swept over and brought into view three familiar figures.
"Ha, still lingering around like a bad spirit?"
Ling Chen said with a smile.
