Chapter 127 Acknowledging Master

That's right. Bud and the other two immediately admitted defeat.

There was nothing they could do but admit defeat,

The way the three of them had been able to freeze a broken window was nothing compared to how Ella had been able to freeze a thousand kilometers.

What was there to compete about?

If they really did compete, then even if Lin Lei treated them as winners in the end, they wouldn't have the face to admit it if it was spread out.

Thinking about this, Bud and the other two came to a realization. Why had Lin Lei been so confident 10 days ago in agreeing to give them a 10 days extension? Actually it had all been within this fellow's control…

Well, it was hard to guard against. This fellow had schemed against them again.

Bud and the other two shook their heads, they were as though crying without tears.

However, thinking back about their promise: If the three of them won in the end, they would need to take Ella as their disciple.

Bud and the other two immediately felt less depressed.

After all, Ella had already displayed her talent.

Given enough time to grow, such an evil existence would eventually become a famous Magus of the mainland.

Therefore, if they could take in such a genius as their disciple, it wouldn't be too bad.

As the three were laughing, they cleared their throats and said.

“Then, Lin Lei, in accordance with our promise, from now on, Ella will be our disciple.”

“The four of us will teach her together.”

“Don't worry. We won't keep anything from Ella. We will definitely teach her all of our unique techniques.”

The three of them made a solemn promise.

In fact, when they saw Ella blink her adorable eyes at them, they couldn't help but begin to imagine the scene teaching her the Mystic Abilities…

However, Lin Lei's words at this moment were like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguis.h.i.+ng their pa.s.sion.

Lin Lei said to them…

“When did I say that I wanted Ella to take the three of you as her master?”

“What I said back then was that if you took me as your master, then you would become Ella's junior apprentice…”

Bader: ? ? ?

Wharton: ? ? ?

William: ? ? ? ?

“Lin Lei, I'm giving you a chance. Quickly take back what you have just said! You want me to accept you as my master? Are you sure you did not say wrongly?”

Bader was stunned, gritting his teeth, he was the first to retort.

As for the old beggar and the other, although they didn't say anything, they were also staring at Lin Lei with stunned looks on their faces.

There was nothing they could do. Right now, anyone who heard Lin Lei's words would be stunned.

This fellow… actually wanted the three of them to acknowledge him as their master?

The three of them were old fellows who had lived for centuries, perhaps even millennia.

He, Lin Lei, was just a mere twenty-year-old magus.

What had he done to make them acknowledge him as their master?

The faces of Bud and the other two sank.

Clearly, they were very unhappy with Lin Lei's suggestion.

Especially Bud. When he first met Lin Lei, he had considered himself an Elder.

But now, this little fellow actually wanted to be his master?

Lin Lei, even if you were the Eastern Emperor of the easternmost region, you couldn't humiliate me this way!

Bud thought with a dark face.

One could imagine that if Lin Lei didn't give him a reasonable explanation, he definitely wouldn't let this matter rest.

“Bud, Wharton, and William, you didn't hear wrongly. I wasn't joking.”

Facing the furious gazes of Bud and the other two, Lin Lei pretended not to see them. Smiling, he continued to speak.

“Let's not talk about this for now. Let's talk about Ella. Aren't you all curious as to why Ella is able to train so quickly?”

This…

Hearing Lin Lei's question, Bard and the other two were instantly stunned.

What did Lin Lei mean by this question?

Wasn't the reason why Ella was able to train so quickly because of her extraordinary talent?

Could it be that there was another reason?

Bud was puzzled, but then Lin Lei continued to speak,

“It's very simple. The reason why Ella is able to train so quickly is because…”

“She is my disciple.”

Lin Lei's words were rather baffling.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bud and the other two were stunned.

After staring blankly for a long time, they finally understood what Lin Lei meant by these words: If they also wanted to increase their training speed, they could take him as their master!

“What sort of logic is this? I've never heard of anyone taking someone as their master would increase their training speed!”

Bud didn't believe it at all.

Hearing this, Lin Lei didn't explain. He just laughed and shrugged

Honestly speaking, if he were to put himself in their shoes, he wouldn't believe it either.

But right now, he had to force himself to say it.

It was because this was a new mission that the system had just issued a few days ago.

In actual fact, Lin Lei initially was not interested in taking in Bud and the other two as his disciples.

But it was because a few days ago, just as Ella was once more meditating on the strengthened version of the Ice Mageforce, he suddenly heard a new notification from the system:

“Ding! Congratulations, host. Three new disciple slots have been activated.”

“The host can continue to accept three more disciples and teach them the Mystic Abilities.”

“Note: The disciples the host accepts this time will still possess the Epiphany ability.”

“In addition, every time they gain new abilities, the host will receive a ten-fold gain in reward.”

“Friendly reminder: The slots for accepting disciples this time can last for a week. If the host is unable to accept a good disciple within a week, the slots for accepting disciples this time will automatically disappear.”

Right, it was precisely this system notification that caused Lin Lei to have the idea of accepting Bud and the other two as his disciples.

Actually, his original intention wasn't to truly accept Bud and the other two as his disciples. Rather, he wanted to use their training talents to increase their Mystic Abilities, while at the same time increasing his own.

Wouldn't it be good to kill two birds with one stone and achieve mutual benefits?

Lin Lei thought to himself.

And, regarding this secret, there was no way for him to directly reveal it to Bud and the other two. Thus, he could only come up with a random excuse,

“I don't know how to explain this to you. There's a possibility that this is the unique ability of the Eastern Emperor…”

The unique ability of the Eastern Emperor…

After Lin Lei bluffed out this excuse, soon enough, Bud and the other two fell silent.

None of them was the Eastern Emperor, nor did they know the previous Eastern Emperor.

Therefore, they really couldn't tell the truth from the lies of Lin Lei's reason.

But right at this moment, Lin Lei spoke again,

“But… if you really do take me as your master, I can guarantee that you will have the same speed of comprehension as Ella, at the same time…”

“I can set up a magical barrier that is five times of its size. This way, you will be able to shorten the time it takes for you to train in the Great Sage Realm.”

“What do you think?”

Lin Lei's offer was indeed very enticing.

Hearing this, the three fell silent.

After a long time, Bud was the first to respond. “Forgive me for being blunt, but I really can't convince myself to accept brother Lin as my master. I'll go back to my secluded meditation and continue to train for the Great Sage realm. The two of you see for yourselves…”

After saying these words, Bud turned and left.

Wharton, the old beggar, and William remained where they were, not saying a single word.

In the end, William cupped his hands, then turned and left as well.

Only the old beggar remained.

Lin Lei looked at the old beggar. He didn't say anything, waiting for him to respond.

After a long time, the old beggar lowered his head and bowed deeply towards Lin Lei. In a low voice, he said.

“From today onwards, Wharton will acknowledge Lin Lei as his master. I hope that Master Lin Lei will give me guidance.”

The sound of 'acknowledge him as my master' rang out.

And then, a notification rang out in Lin Lei's mind.

“Ding! Detected that the host has accepted a new disciple. The Epiphany ability has been sent to the second disciple, Wharton…”
