Illusory Radiance Spiritual Furnace

"First, when I reach the third rank, you must help me qualify to enter the Knight Sacred Mountain. I need a mount."

Lin Feng had already thought it through on the way to the Assassin Temple.

With his talent, the Assassin Temple would definitely agree to such a request.

There was no need to specifically join the Knight Temple just for the Knight Sacred Mountain. Rather than competing with Long Haochen every day, Cai'er was far more considerate.

"That won't be a problem..." Ying Suifeng asked curiously, "But as an assassin, it'll be difficult for you to gain the Knight Sacred Mountain's recognition..."

"You needn't worry about that. You saw it just now—I should have an Elemental Affinity Constitution."

Ying Suifeng nodded. "What's your second request?"

Lin Feng said decisively, "Have Cai'er withdraw from the Reincarnation Saintess trial."

Ying Suifeng: "..."

"I can't make that decision..."

This concerned the survival of the entire Alliance. Put more seriously, it could even concern the survival of all humanity.

Lin Feng shook his head. "If you won't agree to these three requests, I won't choose the Assassin Temple. Perhaps the Knight Temple would suit me better."

"No!"

The moment he heard that Lin Feng intended to join the Knight Temple, Ying Suifeng could no longer sit still.

If such an exceptional prospect went to the Knight Temple, the Assassin Temple would remain second-best forever. With Lin Feng, they might even have a chance to contend for the position of the foremost Holy Temple.

Ying Suifeng looked at Cai'er, gritted his teeth, and took a deep breath. "I agree!"

Though he could not make decisions in place of the Temple Master, he understood how to weigh the pros and cons.

The Temple Master probably would not refuse either.

"What's your last request?"

Lin Feng looked at Cai'er and hesitated awkwardly. "Do I have to say it now..."

"Say it all at once. At least then I can prepare myself mentally."

He truly found it hard to imagine that he was negotiating with an eight-year-old child.

Lin Feng cleared his throat. "I want to marry Cai'er."

Cough, cough.

Ying Suifeng, who had only just steadied himself, was startled by Lin Feng's words...

"What nonsense are you talking about, brat?"

"I'm not talking nonsense. I want to marry Cai'er."

Ying Suifeng looked at Cai'er, who still did not understand what marriage was, and refused again. "Impossible. You're both still so young—you don't even know what marriage means."

Lin Feng's words had given him quite a fright. The first two requests were still negotiable, but he could never agree to this third one.

First, Cai'er was not his daughter, so he had no right to agree on her parents' behalf.

Second, he had always cared for Cai'er as if she were his own daughter. She was still so young; even if Cai'er's Parents agreed, he never would.

He could agree to the second request because he also did not want Cai'er to suffer any longer. Besides, with Lin Feng as a replacement, he had not said much.

"I don't care. If you don't agree, I'll find someone else to be my teacher. I think Xia Ying One would be pretty good." Lin Feng shamelessly said.

The corner of Ying Suifeng's mouth twitched beneath his veil.

I really should have kept my mouth shut. Why did I have to say that extra bit?

Wouldn't it have been fine to agree to his two requests? Now look at this...

Seeing that Ying Suifeng had yet to state his position, Lin Feng knew that this was indeed not something he could decide. Still, Lin Feng had already achieved his goal.

"Hall Master, how about this? Go speak with Cai'er's Parents and arrange an engagement first. Once I grow up, I'll marry Cai'er."

"What's the difference?"

"There is a difference, Teacher..."

"What did you call me?"

"Teacher."

Having regained a disciple he had thought lost, that single "Teacher" struck straight to Ying Suifeng's heart. He stroked his chin, then looked at Cai'er, who had somehow taken Lin Feng's hand again.

Lin Feng is already my disciple. If Cai'er marries someone else...

No. Better this brat than letting someone else benefit.

And Cai'er seems to like him quite a lot too.

"Fine. For the sake of that 'Teacher,' I'll go arrange this match for you."

"Thank you, Teacher." Delighted, Lin Feng cupped his hands in salute.

Watching Lin Feng perform the gesture so convincingly, Ying Suifeng helplessly remarked, "I really don't know where you learned all this stuff."

Lin Feng merely smiled and said nothing.

"Take this."

"This is... a Spiritual Furnace?"

Lin Feng looked at the white Spiritual Furnace Ying Suifeng handed him in surprise.

"You know quite a lot. It seems the Deity in your Meditation Space has taught you plenty. I found this Spiritual Furnace by chance while I was out. I call it the Illusory Radiance Spiritual Furnace. It can alter its user's Elemental Attribute, and it can also conceal Spiritual Power Fluctuations. It should suit you quite well."

"This is too valuable."

"What? You don't want it? Then give it back..."

"Then... thank you, Teacher." Lin Feng quietly put away the Spiritual Furnace.

"You brat... All right. Xia Ying One has been waiting outside for quite some time. Let's go."

The more Ying Suifeng looked at his disciple, the more he liked him. He might have had a few too many crooked ideas, but that also meant he was not a blockhead. In this chaotic world, being clever was a good thing.

The only thing was that giving up a Spiritual Furnace hurt a little. Even a Ninth Rank Expert like him could not detect the Illusory Radiance Spiritual Furnace's ability to conceal Spiritual Power Fluctuations.

Spiritual Power Testing Hall.

Xia Ying One had been waiting here with Xue Yun for nearly half a day.

The instant he saw Ying Suifeng emerge with Lin Feng and Cai'er, he hurried forward and anxiously asked, "Hall Master, what is Lin Feng's Innate Inner Spiritual Power? Has he undergone the Awakening Ceremony? What do you plan to do with Lin Feng?"

Ying Suifeng was just about to answer.

Xia Ying One continued, "If you don't think much of Lin Feng, let me be his teacher. This child has nowhere to go now..."

Lin Feng: "-_-||"

Before Lin Feng could speak, however, Ying Suifeng could no longer remain calm.

You really plan to steal my disciple?

If not for the three children present, he would definitely have taught Xia Ying One a lesson for the sake of his image.

Still, he had to make his position clear.

Ying Suifeng coughed twice and said, "You needn't worry about Lin Feng anymore. He is my disciple now. As for his Spiritual Power, ask him yourself. But remember, it must be kept secret. The level of confidentiality is the same as Cai'er's."

After thinking it over, Ying Suifeng decided that Xia Ying One was qualified to know about Lin Feng's situation.

This left Xia Ying One speechless for a moment, but he soon became happy for Lin Feng and for the Assassin Temple as well.

Unable to contain his joy, Xia Ying One stepped forward and patted Lin Feng on the shoulder. "I knew you had it in you, brat. Welcome to the Assassin Alliance."

"Mm. I'll be relying on you for guidance from now on."

But while everyone was happy that Lin Feng had joined the Assassin Temple,

Xue Yun, who had been pushed to the sidelines, was filled with grievance.

He did not understand. He had clearly worked so hard, yet why did this person he had never even met possess everything he wanted? Why?

Overwhelmed by intense unwillingness, Xue Yun angrily threw his glove at Lin Feng.

"I, Xue Yun, challenge you to a duel!"
