Chapter 48: Talent

Translator: Jn19930  Editor: Jn19930

In the quiet room, Wen Ling watched calmly at the boy in front of him with a dull expression. At this moment, the boy currently had his eyes closed and a dark black Spiritual Energy fluctuated at his right hand. The Spiritual Energy seemed to be condensing into a form.

Wen Ling stared at the boy and shifted his eyes away after a while. He let out a sigh deep down inside. Mu Chen had already entered this state for a full hour. This time had far surpassed his expectations.

Generally speaking, a slightly talented Spiritual Array Master beginner would condense his first seal in half an hour after being exposed to Spiritual Seal cultivation. The more talented users would form one even more quickly.

And now, Mu Chen had used an hour, yet he was not able to form his very first Spiritual Seal. This sensitivity could be described as slow. Therefore, Wen Ling let out a regretful sigh. He naturally heard of the impressive talent that Mu Chen displayed in cultivating Spiritual Energy. However, it seems that his talents did not extend to being a Spiritual Array Master.

Although Wen Ling was regretful, he did not care much. After all, he had seen enough of this situation. There were many geniuses at cultivation, who would not be a genius in another area. The war was still fair this way.

Time slowly passed while Wen Ling sighed. This continued for another half an hour before Wen Ling finally saw the boy in front of him open his eyes. A Spiritual Seal still hadn’t formed in his hand, which made Wen Ling feel incredulous. It can’t be that he was so clumsy that he couldn’t even condense a single Spiritual Seal, right?

“What happened? Why haven’t you formed a single Spiritual Seal, or were you distracted?” Wen Ling frowned and asked with a severe expression.

When Mu Chen heard this, he shook his head awkwardly and said with hesitation: “It’s not that I can’t condense it, but I don’t know if I made a mistake.”

“A mistake?” Wen Ling was stunned.

Mu Chen thought for a moment and stretched out his slender palm. A dark light surged out as his dark black Spiritual Energy flickered at his fingertips. Then, Wen Ling saw how a single Spiritual Seal slowly emerged.

“So you did succeed.” Wen Ling let out a sigh of relief when he saw this.

But just when he was relieved, he noticed another Spiritual Seal emerging out of Mu Chen’s fingertips…

“Two?” Wen Ling could not endure it and raised an eyebrow.

However, when Wen Ling’s eyebrow was lifted up, the change within Mu Chen’s hand did not stop. A black light surged out and another Spiritual Seal emerged…After the third Spiritual Seal, another two Spiritual Seal appeared one after another on Mu Chen’s fingertips.

Five Spiritual Seals!

Wen Ling was in a daze as he stared at the five dark black Spiritual Seals at Mu Chen’s fingertips. His mind seemed to have blanked out and a hint of incredulous appeared in his stern eyes.

He would have never expected that Mu Chen would be able to condense five Spiritual Seals on his very first attempt. Back when he was learning, it took him a full half a month before he was able to do that. This was because it would be harder to condense one when the amount of Spiritual Seals increased.

Mu Chen watched Wen Ling’s dazed expression and scratched his head. The Spiritual Seals’ fluctuations faded disorderly and he said timidly: “Did I make a mistake?”

Although he had not come into contact with Spiritual Array Masters before, he still knew how difficult this profession was. Moreover, he did not feel the slightest difficulty when he condensed the first seal. It felt as if it was a matter of course and was even smoother than his normal cultivation.

This made him slightly shocked and he doubted whether or not he made a mistake when condensing a Spiritual Seal. Otherwise, how would it flow this smoothly?

Wen Ling finally recovered from his shock, yet his eyes remained fixed on Mu Chen’s hand. Then, he opened his mouth and said: “Y…You probably didn’t make a mistake.”

After he blurted this out, he felt that his voice was a little dried. He immediately let out a dry cough and fully recovered: “It seems that you’re quite talented in the area of a Spiritual Array Master.”

When Mu Chen heard this, he let out a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was correct.

“Kuh…Although you seemed to be quite talented in this area, you should not act arrogant. A true Spiritual Array Master rank is not achieved simply by talent.” Wen Ling became strict again and spoke.

“What Mister Wen Ling said is correct.” Seeing that Mu Chen received his lesson, Wen Ling peeked at the boy again. He discovered that the boy’s eyes were calm like a quiet lake. Not even the slightest hint of arrogance and pride could be seen within the boy’s eyes. This made him let out a praise within his heart. This boy will definitely surpass his father one day and reach an amazing height.
