Chapter 152: Must Keep Him!

~7 min read 1,258 words

Lu Jing felt both amused and exasperated; who would have thought that Hao Pengjie's teacher would actually want to become his disciple?

If I really agreed to him, wouldn't I become Hao Pengjie's grandmaster?

Moreover, I haven't even told my family about the Contemplation Method, so how could I pass it on to a stranger?

Hao Lao's actions also shocked Li Wenliang and the others nearby; they all stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Brother Li, why are we suddenly taking on a master all of a sudden?"

Li Wenliang looked at the sincere-faced Hao Lao, and a thought of becoming a disciple also rose in his mind: "Those with ability become teachers; this shows that this youngster is quite formidable......"

Lu Jing helped Hao Lao up and said helplessly, "Sir, I really have nothing to teach you; it's all just due to talent."

"Alright......"

Hao Lao no longer dwelled on it, leading Lu Jing toward the nearby control room, his gaze intense as he asked, "Shall we restore your mental power a bit before testing again?"

"No need, let's start directly."

"Alright, to certify your Third Realm strength, you need to simultaneously control three small balls and pass through the maze within three minutes."

Lu Jing clasped his hands behind his back, nodded slightly, and the three mithril balls shot up with a "whoosh".

Immediately, they darted into the maze at a speed invisible to the naked eye, continuously weaving through.

These three iron balls seemed to have a life of their own, moving up and down within the passage, flexibly turning.

In just a few seconds, they shot out of the maze's exit.

Afterwards, they hovered silently there, arranged neatly like soldiers awaiting orders.

"Is that enough?"

Lu Jing looked toward the somewhat dumbfounded Hao Lao beside him.

Hao Lao blinked his eyes, then looked up at the timer above.

"All in all...... it took four seconds, successfully passed!"

"Hmm, after the test ends I'll head out first."

Lu Jing was very satisfied with this result, turned around, and walked past the stunned Li Wenliang.

At this moment, Li Wenliang's expression was dazed, his mouth hung open, and he blankly watched Lu Jing's retreating figure as he prepared to leave.

He had only one thought in his mind: This person is absolutely a monster!

Not to mention controlling the balls with mental power; even if he himself went in and ran a lap, he couldn't possibly achieve such a good result.

And the classmates who came with Li Wenliang each fell into a dazed state; even if they were complete novices, they could see how heaven-defying Lu Jing's maneuver was!

In the huge room, a silence lasting a full ten seconds fell.

Only after Lu Jing had walked out and was about to go downstairs did Hao Lao react, hurrying after him.

"Young Lu, please stay!"

"What's up?"

Lu Jing stopped his steps and asked doubtfully.

Hao Lao gave a fawning smile: "Young Lu, why don't you stay a bit longer? I'd like to introduce you to the president of our Talent Endowed Association......"

"No need, I appreciate your kindness, sir."

Lu Jing shook his head and continued walking forward.

Hao Lao grew anxious, quickly pulled out his phone and placed a call.

At the same time, the phone in the president's office rang.

Xue Zhengqi was idly sipping tea, slowly answering the call.

"Hey, Hao Lao, what's up?"

"President, I just certified a youth—eighteen years old, Third Realm Talent Endowed, with mental power purity at 41%!"

Xue Zhengqi took a sip of tea, indifferent, saying: "It's just a certification, what's the big fuss......"

The next moment he belatedly realized what was said, choking on his tea: "Cough, cough, what did you say? An eighteen-year-old Third Realm Talent Endowed with mental power purity so high it's frightening!?"

"Hurry up and keep him; I'll be there right away!"

Having said that, he hung up, grabbed his coat, and rushed out.

"How is it, did the certification pass?"

By the bar, the uniformed girl saw Lu Jing walk out and asked curiously.

"Hmm, luck was good, the certification succeeded."

Lu Jing chuckled lightly.

The uniformed girl's pupils contracted sharply—could this youngster really have Third Realm strength?

"Then congratulations to you!"

She congratulated him without changing her expression.

She took out her phone from her pocket: "Um, would you like to add contact info? That way, if you have anything to handle later, you can reach me directly—it would be quite convenient......"

"Maybe next time."

Lu Jing smiled, turned, and left.

The uniformed girl watched Lu Jing's retreating back, sighing repeatedly, feeling disheartened.

Such a handsome young man, with absurdly strong strength—it would be great if I could be his girlfriend.

One minute later.

A middle-aged man wearing a loose T-shirt, his suit in disarray, came running over, glanced at the girl behind the bar, and panted:

"Did you see that boy who just finished his Talent Endowed certification?"

"Hello, President—are you referring to Lu Jing? He's already left."

"What?"

The middle-aged man sprinted to the association's entrance; the alley was empty.

At this moment, Lu Jing had already gotten into a taxi.

"Sir, go to Anwu City Yatelan Peninsula."

"All right, hold on!"

The taxi sped down the road; watching the constantly receding streetscape, Lu Jing also relaxed.

Calculating the time, this time returning I need to prepare for the martial exam...

"Honk—"

"Honk—"

Lu Jing, who usually slept as soon as he got home, was awakened by a sudden knocking.

"Brother—"

Outside the door came Lu Leyi's heart-wrenching shout: "Time to get up and eat!"

Lu Jing opened his eyes, resignedly got up and opened the door.

Outside, Lu Leyi was looking at him with an excited expression.

"Brother, you're back! I wanted to come upstairs to find you after school, but Mom said you were too tired and needed to rest!"

"He's definitely tired; you have no idea what your older brother has been through these past few days."

Lu Jing rubbed Lu Leyi's head, saying, "I've told you before: for anything, just call. Being yelled at every day has left me mentally exhausted because of you!"

"Make a phone call? Can you even hear?"

Lu Leyi squeezed into Lu Jing's room, picked up a phone from the table, and said, "Look, within half an hour I called you over ten times, no one answered—you're sleeping like the dead!"

"This..."

Lu Jing scratched the back of his head, embarrassed, and said, "Fine, you win. Let's go eat."

"Hmph!"

Lu Leyi held her head high, following behind Lu Jing, proud as a rooster.

After going downstairs, Lu Jing only then noticed that the outside sky had grown dim.

He had slept from noon until evening.

The table was already filled with abundant dishes; Feng Qinru was still busy in the kitchen, and Lu Haitao had already walked to the dining table, pouring himself a drink.

Seeing Lu Jing come down, he quickly waved and said, "Son, come over and have a few drinks with Dad!"

"No drinking!"

Feng Qinru poked her head out from the kitchen, saying, "The TV said drinking affects blood qi; Xiao Jing has just come of age, he can't touch alcohol!"

"Fine, then I'll drink by myself."

Lu Haitao took a tipsy sip, swaying, and said, "Xiao Jing, how's this election going? I heard President Xu say the difficulty is very high."
