Chapter 639: What if a blind cat happens to run into a dead mouse and wins? (Begging for

Everyone in the tent was shocked. Several generals looked at each other, feeling that Xie Ergai was truly grabbing at straws, willing to say such things just to win over a powerhouse.

But it had to be said, this was indeed a method.

Li Chen was also slightly startled, then secretly overjoyed; this was like finding a pillow just as one was getting sleepy!

He feigned contemplation for a moment before slowly speaking: "Our meeting can be considered fate. Seeing that although your aptitude is ordinary, you have this heart for the Dao, very well, I shall temporarily accept you as a nominal disciple."

"Many thanks, Master! Many thanks, Master!" Xie Ergai was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed in salute.

Li Chen accepted it calmly. He knew well that being a military advisor meant serving him, and the relationship was not solid; but being a master meant having a transcendent status, and Xie Ergai would have to be respectful and obedient, which was more conducive to his subsequent control of this army and gathering intelligence.

Regarding Master Wuerge taking on a disciple, no one in the tent dared to raise an objection.

Whether it was those battle-hardened generals or that accompanying Shaman wizard, all could clearly feel the unfathomable, heart-palpitating aura on this mysterious Shaman.

They secretly guessed that the strength of this Master Wuerge had likely already reached a legendary realm.

The Sage level, like a god, which they had only heard of in ancient ballads and vague records.

Of course, this was only their awe and conjecture; no one dared to truly ask.

Since he had accepted this nominal disciple under the identity of Wuerge, Li Chen intended to play the part to the fullest.

He signaled for Xie Ergai to follow him to a relatively open area in the camp.

Under the gaze of everyone's awe, Li Chen began to "teach" Xie Ergai.

He did not impart any profound secret techniques, but demonstrated a few of the most basic Shaman spells.

Such as condensing a small cluster of ice crystals, communicating weakly with nearby wind and snow spirits, or drawing a simple protective rune.

However, even these most basic skills, when performed by Li Chen, contained a certain charm of turning decay into magic.

As the incantations were chanted, the icy energy between heaven and earth obeyed his commands like an extension of his arm; the condensed ice crystals were as clear and brilliant as works of art, and the communication with the spirits was as smooth and natural as a conversation between old friends.

That simple protective rune was even more radiant, emitting stable energy fluctuations far exceeding its level of complexity.

Li Chen casually tossed a few bottles of elixirs to Xie Ergai. As soon as the bottle stoppers were opened, a rich and pure medicinal fragrance permeated the air, refreshing the spirit upon smelling it; they were clearly the best of the best.

The accompanying Shaman wizard to the side stared with wide eyes, his breathing rapid, his face filled with disbelief and extreme envy.

A general nearby asked him curiously in a low voice: "Master, what is this?"

The accompanying wizard's voice trembled with excitement as he explained in a low voice: "Miraculous skill! Truly miraculous skill! Although the spells Master Wuerge is demonstrating are the most basic, his understanding and control of natural power have already reached an unimaginable realm!"

"This is no longer using power, but dancing with power! And those elixirs, look at their quality; in our tribe, I fear only the High Priest could occasionally obtain one or two, yet Master Wuerge bestowed so many so casually!"

"To be able to study under such a powerhouse is simply a massive stroke of fortune!"

He naturally believed that the Master starting from the basics was only right and proper, as one could only go further by laying a solid foundation, not knowing that the "Master Wuerge"'s stock of Shaman witchcraft knowledge was currently about all he had.
