Chapter 422 - More than a Master (1/2)

Under the full moon, Wang Ling had his disciples gather around him.

”What is it, Master? Was there something we missed while reviewing the fight? I know I hesitated in hurting them, but I think I did well.” Leo who experienced his first kill in his life asked.

”Was there something wrong with the medication, Hela did?” Hela wrote her question on a paper.

Vaki and the rest also asked a couple of things, but in the end, none of them got it right. Wang Ling sighed as he smiled, ”All of you did well in today's fight. Didn't they, Chang Ping?”

Chang Ping simply bobbed her head but said nothing. The disciples could not help but feel proud at the words of their master. Their master was a man of many secrets, but his identity was not one of them, and to be praised by such a man made them happy.

”It is all thanks to Master's teachings that we managed to show such results.”

”We shall further our pursuit of the techniques you have passed down to us to give glory to your name.” Rea and Ella followed. They were stiff as always but their expressions have considerably mellowed out a lot.

Seeing them like this only made it harder for Wang Ling, alas, the complacent life was not for him anyway. Witnessing his students of his own grow and learn from him had been enough for him. If he could, he would not initiate change, but this was all an inevitability.

”I am proud of you all. Truthfully, I didn't think you all would be able to improve this much in such a short span of time. Though none of you have reached Qi Refinement Realm as of yet, I know that you all will do it one day. If Leo can reach Qi Cloaking Realm, then there's not a single impossible thing in this Universe.”

”Master, why are you using me as an example like that?” Leo cried against injustice and the others laughed as he felt aggrieved.

”Don't feel bad, I meant that as a compliment. After all, as I told you, you have no ounce of talent when it comes to cultivation. Though you are lagging behind in terms of qi, you are leading them in terms of spirit and hard work. The fact that you are improving is the fruit of your labor. Also, do not feel down because you lack talent, even those like you would be able to climb to the peak, just look at Chang Ping? Her talent was mediocre at best but now she's one of the strongest humans in the Universe.”

”Master, I would appreciate it if you do not use me as an example as well.” Chang Ping also complained.

”I cannot promise anything.” Wang Ling could care less about any threat.

Then after a while, when Wang Ling finally settled himself, he finally gathered the heart to speak aloud, ”I am glad that you five are improving and despite your pasts, none is burdened by the weight they carry. You have shown not only improvement in strength but also in terms of your heart and mind. I would love to teach you more, sadly, I would be leaving.”

”Huh!? Why all of a sudden!?! When are you leaving? Where are you going!?!” Leo was the first to jump in fright to his words, ”Did we do something to displease you?”
