At this point in time, there were two Elders who wanted to take Zhao Feng as a disciple.
But Zhao Feng chose First Elder.
First Elder stood on the spot and didn't say anything.
Zhao Feng didn't know what was going on and Hai Yun Master's sudden appearance caught him off guard.
If it was just Elder Xue taking him as a disciple then it wouldn't be a big deal, but now there was Hai Yun Master.
Hai Yun Master's eyes were deep and he had a bright smile on his face.
Zhao Feng's heart skipped a beat and he understood after thinking about it.
Hai Yun Master did this to give him a chance to 'surrender', just like Bei Moi, to become his disciple.
Just like that, he once again crushed Lord Guanjun to the ground without any effort. If Master Xu Ran knew about this, he would probably spit out blood.
At the same time.
This was also a forceful method to force Zhao Feng to make a choice.
If Zhao Feng chose Elder Xue, then there would be no turning back and they would be enemies in the future. Hai Yun Master would try his best to suppress him and get rid of him.
"Haha, Brother Hai Yun, you're interested in Zhao Feng? If you're willing, I can give him to you. "
Elder Xue was taken aback for a moment before bursting into laughter.
Zhao Feng cursed in his heart.
The situation was becoming more and more disadvantageous for him!
At this point in time, he had already analysed the situation.
Firstly, First Elder didn't want to take him as a disciple for some reason.
Secondly, Elder Xue wasn't sincere!
Thirdly, Hai Yun Master had ulterior motives.
The key was the second point.
The reason why Elder Xue brought up the idea of accepting a disciple was just to ease up the atmosphere and give the First Elder a way out so that he wouldn't break his promise.
Hai Yun Master had just said that he wanted to take Zhao Feng as a disciple and Elder Xue had agreed without hesitation.
Therefore, Elder Xue wasn't sincere and he couldn't be relied on. From the fact that he had taken Sun Yuanhao as a disciple, it could be seen that he valued talent.
"If I become Elder Xue's disciple, Hai Yun Master might not necessarily protect me. Instead, he might even collude with Hai Yun Master to sell me out."
Zhao Feng quickly concluded.
Elder Xue was insincere and unreliable. He was only trying to curry favor with the Great Elder.
If Hai Yun Master became his disciple, it would be like sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, and it would go against Zhao Feng's principles and bottom line.
Zhao Feng's mind spun and he came to a conclusion:
Rather than acknowledging these two as his master, he might as well change his request.
On the other hand, the First Elder wouldn't easily accept a disciple, and wouldn't casually make promises. People like that would definitely do their best. Once they gained the First Elder's approval, they would receive the best protection.
Unfortunately …
Zhao Feng secretly sighed and quickly made a decision.
He didn't want to choose either Elder Xue or Hai Yun Master.
This choice made the crowd confused and puzzled.
What kind of honor was it to become a disciple of an elder? It was no different from having a huge mountain behind one's back.
The faces of Xu Ren and the other two were filled with pity.
Unfortunately, they were not Zhao Feng and had no choice.
A light flashed in the First Elder's eyes as he finally spoke: "If you give up on this request, it will force me to go back on my words. But I have sworn that I will never take another disciple in my life."
Hearing this, Zhao Feng finally understood the last question.
No wonder the First Elder remained silent when he asked to become a disciple. It was obvious that he was waiting for Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master to help him out.
But God's plans were different. Zhao Feng had rejected both Elder Xue and Hai Yun Master at the same time and would rather change his request.
This meant that no matter if the First Elder agreed or not, he would have to go back on his words.
"If you become my disciple, you have to agree to one request."
The First Elder continued.
"What request?"
Zhao Feng didn't think that the situation would change once again.
"Give up on Lightning Wind Palm!"
The Great Elder said, enunciating each word.
Zhao Feng was surprised.
Why did the First Elder want him to give up on Lightning Wind Palm?
Why didn't he take another disciple in his life?
Suddenly.
A sentence appeared in Zhao Feng's mind: "Yang Gan used to have a senior brother who cultivated Lightning Wind Palm, but later on …"
This was what Sister Yuan had said.
During the gathering, Yang Gan had tried to persuade Zhao Feng to cherish his life and stay away from Lightning Wind Palm.
Could it be that Yang Gan was the First Elder's disciple? That Senior Brother of his had unfortunately died while practicing the Lightning Wind Palm?
"First Elder, you're Yang Gan's master?"
Zhao Feng asked carefully.
Yang Gan was a prodigy who was ranked second amongst the ten core disciples.
As soon as Zhao Feng spoke, everyone nodded their heads.
The First Elder, however, remained silent and his eyes dimmed.
Zhao Feng could see the sorrow and pain in his eyes.
One could imagine that Yang Gan's senior brother who cultivated the Lightning Wind Palm must have been a peerless genius, but he died because of this skill.
"Zhao Feng, what's the harm in giving up a skill if you want to become the First Elder's disciple?"
At this moment, Head Zhang of the Clan Mission Division couldn't help but remind him.
In name, he was Zhao Feng's master.
"Give up Lightning Wind Palm?"
Zhao Feng's eyes were filled with determination.
How could his will be shaken by others?
Ever since Zhao Feng chose Lightning Wind Palm, he had never regretted it.
During the process, Zhao Feng used his left eye to look at every part of the skill and he grasped any possible loopholes.
He had analysed that Lightning Wind Palm was a bit rough and the creator hadn't perfected it yet.
Therefore, Zhao Feng wasn't only training this skill, he was also trying to perfect it and improve it. In the dimension of his left eye, he repeatedly simulated it …
"You must not be willing! It's too similar, Chen 'er had the same expression as you back then. He also said something similar to you … If I don't take him as my disciple, I will regret it in the future! "
The First Elder had a complicated expression as he stared at Zhao Feng, as if this was another person from his memories.
"First Elder! What he said, I will do. What he can't do, I will complete. "
Zhao Feng's expression was calm and full of confidence.
"Arrogant!"
"Shameless!"
As soon as he said this, the people around him started to criticize him.
Even the two Elders had their eyebrows furrowed.
Some were even worried that Zhao Feng would be engulfed by First Elder's anger.
But Zhao Feng wasn't worried at all.
Because at this moment, he had become the substitute for the disciple that First Elder loved.
"There are also differences between you and him."
First Elder looked at Zhao Feng and smiled.
Zhao Feng's heart jumped. Could it be that First Elder could tell that he was using his emotions?
"You are as confident as him and even arrogant. But there is one difference, you are very calm. "
First Elder stared at Zhao Feng for a long time.
Calm.
This was a strong mentality that Zhao Feng had after merging with his left eye.
No matter how much capital he had, no matter how high his achievements were, he would never truly be arrogant and conceited, nor would he lose himself.
The high profile and arrogance he had displayed earlier were all methods to establish himself in the sect and resolve the predicament he was in. Now, it was all for the sake of achieving his goal.
Zhao Feng and First Elder's eyes met, but they didn't move away.
First Elder's face showed signs of struggle.
After a long while, he let out a long breath: "Since you don't want to give up on Lightning Wind Palm, I can only take you as an in-name disciple. Of course, you can become the disciple of another Elder or even change your request. All in all, I have tried my best. "
Tried his best.
Zhao Feng could understand First Elder's stance.
His most beloved disciple had met with misfortune due to practicing Lightning Wind Palm and he swore that he would never take a disciple again.
But he had given Zhao Feng a wish. Becoming his disciple wasn't a unreasonable request.
Therefore, First Elder made a compromise. If Zhao Feng gave up on Lightning Wind Palm, then he would accept him as a disciple. Otherwise, how could he bear to see another disciple die in the same situation.
But there was another problem. Zhao Feng was very similar to the disciples he had accepted in the past and he wouldn't change his decision.
After some struggle, First Elder could only promise to take Zhao Feng as an in-name disciple.
There was a huge difference between in-name disciples and direct disciples.
The former was only in name and the Master didn't have to pass down the true inheritance. Even if the in-name disciple committed a heinous crime, the Master wouldn't be implicated.
… …
"Disciple greets Master."
Zhao Feng didn't hesitate and immediately became his disciple. Just as he was about to bow, First Elder stopped him: "He's only an in-name disciple, not an official disciple. There's no need to be so formal."
First Elder didn't want to put too much emotion on Zhao Feng because the latter practised Lightning Wind Palm and would be a ticking time bomb in the future.
Zhao Feng smiled faintly and didn't mind.
He only became First Elder's disciple to find someone to rely on – that's all!
From his point of view, being First Elder's in-name disciple was better than being Elder Xue's direct disciple.
Firstly, First Elder's status was high and he rarely took in disciples. Even if it was an in-name disciple, no one dared to casually touch him.
Secondly, First Elder was a person who valued relationships. Even if it was an in-name disciple, he wouldn't ignore Zhao Feng. At least it wouldn't be hard for him to be protected.
After successfully becoming First Elder's disciple, Zhao Feng could feel the envious gazes of the surrounding disciples.
Even if it was just becoming First Elder's in-name disciple, it was enough to make many people envious.
Being an in-name disciple of Zhao Feng was extremely valuable.
First Elder didn't easily take in disciples. Apart from Yang Gan, there was only Zhao Feng. He wasn't like the other Elders who had several direct disciples and many in-name disciples.
Furthermore, First Elder's status in the Clan far surpassed normal Elders and even the Clan Master had to respect him.
"This brat actually succeeded …"
Hai Yun Master paused for a moment and his eyebrows furrowed as if he felt that this matter was troublesome.
First Elder's status in the Clan was too special and he was above the other Elders.
Even if Zhao Feng was only First Elder's in-name disciple, his treatment wasn't any worse than the direct disciples of the other Elders.
At this moment.
Zhao Feng's heart calmed down. According to his Master's plan, he had achieved his second goal in the Clan.
First goal: to become an inner disciple.
Second goal: to find someone to rely on.
The "backer" he had found was not just an ordinary kind of powerful person.
From the wariness and hatred in Quan Chen and Yuan Zhi's eyes, Zhao Feng could see a thing or two.
… …
For the next few days, the Broken Moon Clan searched a thousand miles around the Xing family to find the location of the Blood Corpse Protector, but there was no progress.
The Blood Corpse Protector was heavily injured and shouldn't have been able to escape more than a few hundred miles. However, the Broken Moon Clan sent out experts and even Elders, but they still couldn't find the shadow of the Demonic Religion.
What the Broken Moon Clan didn't know was that if Zhao Feng used his left eye, he would have at least a 50-60% chance of finding the Blood Corpse Protector.
But unfortunately, Zhao Feng's goals had all been achieved … high profile was enough. Next, he needed to be low profile and focus on increasing his strength.
