Chapter 279 - Master-Disciple (2/2)

If what he believes is true, then a way he could complete his promises to Pinaka was to request a Heavenly God to allow the True Spirit Path within the heavens and convert her soul form via soul laws into a conventional one.

However, saying this and doing it was fundamentally different. This was merely a single way, however. It's possible that there may be other circumstances that would allow him to do so without such drastic action.

”So, shall you take him as your disciple or what?” Noticing Yan Zaizen was slowly deviating from the main subject, Pinaka questioned.

”Mhm.” He stepped backwards, traveling out of Damian's sight, and cancelled his concealment art. If he just cancelled he might cause his disciple-to-be to die of fright. Unwilling to see this, he did so at a distance.

At first, he was thinking of a grand entrance. If he appeared from a thunderbolt or from a world-sized rift in the sky! He would descend like an immortal of legend and take this commoner as his disciple. It would be spectacular! However, it would be flashy. He wasn't sure if that fit him personally.

Initially, he was going to leave two astral remnants with his two selections and some cultivation methods he had 'claimed' from others. With resources he had in his ring, their rise was unstoppable. However, this was his disciple! What need was there to be so roundabout?

The best method is the most direct kind.

Step.

Step.

Step.

Damian awoke from his tired daze of dreams of happiness. His blurry vision caught sight of an amber-gold figure. This figure was tall, muscular, and had eyes that seemed like amber-gold stars in a sea of white!

He felt like he was dreaming.

It was only after he rubbed his eyes and blinked a few times did he notice Yan Zaizen standing a few feet away from him. To a child no older than twelve to be near a person of Yan Zaizen's stature, he felt small and insignificant.

”ho-how may I help you, sir?” Damian's words were cautious as he tried to get up and perform a proper greeting. Unfortunately, his legs were wobbly and his arms still hurt.

”Help me?” Yan Zaizen smiled, placing his hand on his chin. His fingers lightly caressed the bottom as if in thought, ”I wonder...oh! If you're willing to be the disciple of I, Yan Zaizen, you would help me greatly.”

”W-wh-what?!” Stammering in shock, Damian felt the situation was surreal. He had never met this man in his life, yet he wanted him to be his disciple? Why?

”No need to think about the why. When you've reached my level of strength, the why isn't important and is almost always: 'because I feel like it.'” He chuckled a little, his eyes beaming with amusement.

If only Han Genji was as cool as he imagined himself being right now. Instead, Han Genji slaughtered a few people and kidnapped him suddenly without question. He felt as if his life was hanging on a yes to being his disciple. That was definitely a bad start for a disciple-master relationship. After all, it was built on death and force.

”...” Speechless, Damian felt the entire situation was surreal. Was he dreaming?

”Come on, give me an answer. I'm not a patient one.” Yan Zaizen furrowed his brows slightly in feigned impatience.

Seeing Yan Zaizen growing visibly impatient, his heart thumped in agitation. He had the inkling of a feeling that, if he refused, his life would never change. ”Y-yes!” Damian answered stuttering throughout.

”Yes what?”

”Yes, Master!” He kowtowed immediately three times on the spot. There was no hesitation in his actions and it left Yan Zaizen startled. This boy's hands were nearly all muscle and his legs had minor fractures, but he acted quickly. Even the pain that afflicted him was stifling deeply. This level of decisiveness was both admirable and a little worrying, but if one hit rock bottom, then why would they ever refuse a free meal?

”Good. Excellent. Splendid!” He felt excited as well, almost as much as Damian. ”Now...Pinaka, how does one go about teaching a disciple?” As someone with no experience, he asked without any hesitation.

”...”
