Chapter 996: Done For
In the blink of an eye, another several dozen days had passed in the Lower Realm.
Zhang Han had been paying attention to Wang Yu and had completely neglected Lin Shang.
During this period, Zhang Han successfully took Wang Yu as his disciple.
The first thing Zhang Han did after taking Wang Yu as his disciple was to abolish Wang Yu's cultivation levels.
Abolishing Wang Yu's cultivation levels was to let Wang Yu cultivate anew.
The Foundation Establishment Realm acts as a bridge connecting the previous and the next; if the foundation laid in the realm is not solid, it will affect subsequent cultivation.
Zhang Han had high expectations for Wang Yu.
He wanted Wang Yu to surpass Lin Shang.
Therefore, he sought to have Wang Yu build a perfect foundation.
After abolishing Wang Yu's cultivation levels,
Zhang Han used his own cultivation levels and the Great Dao to compose a cultivation technique, which he then taught to Wang Yu.
After mastering the cultivation technique, Wang Yu understood Zhang Han's intentions and started cultivating without any complaints.
Zhang Han, an existence comparable to a Great Dao Saint, how could the cultivation techniques he composed in his lifetime be weak?
After Wang Yu cultivated for several dozen days, he reached the Golden Core Realm.
If it hadn't been for the sparse spiritual energy in the Lower Realm, a few dozen days might have even allowed Wang Yu to achieve the Immortal Realm.
One day, within Wang Yu's courtyard.
"Respected Master, Respected Master, I feel it, it won't be long before I can break through to the Mid-stage Golden Core!"
Wang Yu, very joyful, looked towards Zhang Han standing in front of him and spoke out.
"Not bad, you still need to put in more effort in your cultivation. Also, any progress in the Way of the Formation?"
Zhang Han stood in the courtyard, hands clasped behind his back, asking softly.
His demeanor bore a resemblance to Chu Yuan.
"This..."
"This disciple has not made any progress; please punish me, Respected Master,"
Wang Yu suddenly wore a worried and troubled expression.
When it came to the Way of the Formation, he truly couldn't grasp it.
No matter how he pondered, he could not achieve results, yet his master insisted that the Way of the Formation was his strongest means.
"You this..."
Zhang Han didn't quite know how to respond.
"Zhang Han, don't be too harsh on your disciple. You have an Innate Array Heart and had your own master pave the way for you, hence you could easily step into the path of formation. It's not so easy for ordinary people to achieve this,"
spoke the voice of Zhang Tian'er, slowly sounding.
With this, Zhang Han could only let it go, urging Wang Yu to continue striving in his cultivation.
Wang Yu nodded, ready to continue cultivating.
Zhang Han turned around, ready to leave to check on Lin Shang.
His target task was Lin Shang; this, he dared not forget.
Seeing his master about leave, Wang Yu, sitting in the courtyard, quickly bowed in salute.
But as Zhang Han's figure soared into the sky, an inexplicable thought crossed his mind.
"My [Opportunity Plundering] can see everything. I wonder if it can see my master's?"
With this thought,
Wang Yu curiously used his [Opportunity Plundering] on Zhang Han.
An information visible only to him appeared before his eyes.
[Opportunity Plundering]
[Plundered Person: ???]
[Recent turn: ???(Red)]
A bunch of question marks?
Indeed, his [Opportunity Plundering] was of no use to his master, was it?
As Wang Yu was shocked internally,
he saw Zhang Han, who was slowly leaving, turn his head to glance at Wang Yu.
This glance frightened Wang Yu into quickly kneeling down, feeling he had offended his master.
Luckily, Zhang Han seemed to have no intention to bother with it, and continued soaring away.
"Respected Master seems to be no ordinary existence,"
"Yet having such a master is indeed my good fortune! Only, why is everything that's happening now so different from before my reincarnation."
Wang Yu frowned.
Countless thoughts yet no resolution found.
In the end, it could only be attributed to his own rebirth's butterfly effect.
...
Meanwhile.
Having left, Zhang Han, upon arriving above Lin Shang's courtyard, calculated with his fingers and already knew the entirety of the events.
It is just that upon knowing the details, his expression turned odd.
"This Lin Shang, is… hoping his clan would prosper?"
"The resources I provided were all used by him to build up his own family?"
"What kind of oddity is this?"
Zhang Han really wanted to criticize.
"Zhang Han, you've messed up again."
Zhang Tian'er spoke softly.
"No, it's not yet messed up, it can still be fixed."
Zhang Han shook his head and said through clenched teeth.
This was a task assigned by his Respected Master; if he messed it up, how could he face his own Respected Master?
"This person's Mental State is set; his clan will prosper."
Zhang Tian'er's ethereal figure appeared beside Zhang Han, speaking softly.
"No, I refuse to believe, I cannot fix it."
Zhang Han thought and was ready to rush down and show this kid what real power is.
To let this kid know that individual strength is most important.
Zhang Tian'er, on the other hand, shook her head as if she could see through Zhang Han's thoughts.
"It's useless; his Mental State is set, no matter how strong you are, he will just say, when each of his clan members becomes this strong, they will be many times stronger than you alone."
Zhang Tian'er dissuaded him.
"What should I do then?"
Zhang Han felt helpless.
If he botched it, it would indeed be a big problem.
He somewhat regretted.
If he had known, he wouldn't have taken Wang Yu as a disciple, then he wouldn't be in this situation today.
Standing beside, Zhang Tian'er thought deeply for a long time and was just about to say something.
But before she could speak.
A Divine Light shot from a distant place, landing in front of Zhang Han.
As the Divine Light traveled, the void collapsed.
"Coming from beyond the thirty-three heavens, it must be from your Respected Master,"
Zhang Tian'er recognized it immediately.
"From the Respected Master? What is it?"
Zhang Han quickly walked over and received the Divine Light.
As his palm touched the Divine Light, it burst into flashes and transformed into text.
The message was simple.
Asking Zhang Han to return.
"It's over, it's all over, Tian'er, what should I do now, the Respected Master wants me to return, if Respected Master finds out, he'll strip me of my title of strongest disciple."
Zhang Han panicked.
The title of strongest disciple, in his view, was exceedingly important.
It was the only thing that put him ahead of Ye Luo; he couldn't lose it.
"There's nothing else you can do now; you have to go back. Maybe your Respected Master just has other things to find you for and it's not about this matter."
Zhang Tian'er paused for a moment before speaking.
"But, but…"
Zhang Han began to become incoherent.
In the end, he could only choose to return.
He dared not defy the order of his Respected Master.
He could only hope that the Respected Master wouldn't inquire about the matters regarding Lin Shang.
As long as the Respected Master didn't ask about this matter, he could gloss over it, come back later, straighten out Lin Shang, and correct his mistakes.
That way, his title of strongest disciple, would not be lost…
