Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Chapter 703 - 220: Consciousness Tremors, Divine Soul Emergence

Speaking of this matter, Li Mimi was visibly angry.

"What a big mouth."

Xu Wensong couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Senior Brother Xu is not only the most talented among this group of trainees but also hails from the Cyan Cloud Sect. The Star Gate has always been weak. The resources they’ve received over the years are mainly due to the Cyan Cloud Sect’s leniency. Zhang Lingfeng has really underestimated Senior Brother Xu and the Cyan Cloud Sect!"

Another Super Divine Mind Master from the Cyan Cloud Sect said angrily.

"Senior Brother Xu, Zhang Lingfeng is just an exception. I really respect you, and I’d like to ask for your help. Can you take a look at my Sea of Consciousness and see if I can pass the assessment to continue staying in the cultivation class of Master Tianshui?"

A chubby little boy asked.

The chubby boy was named Optimistic, with a baby face.

"Are you also a Star Gate disciple?"

Xu Wensong asked.

"Yes, I’m from the White Sheep Star and have been cultivating in the Star Gate for a long time. I’ve always admired Senior Brother Xu. My dream is to become a Soul Master, although I know it’s very difficult, so I don’t hold out much hope. I just wish to stay in the Soul Hall longer, listen to Master Tianshui’s teachings, and become an Alchemist like Senior Brother Hao in the future."

Optimistic said with a smile.

"Come closer to me."

Hearing this, Xu Wensong gestured for Optimistic to come over.

Optimistic hurried forward.

Xu Wensong released a powerful Super Divine Telekinesis, entering Optimistic’s Sea of Consciousness.

"Ah!"

Optimistic screamed, clutching his head, curling up on the ground.

"Hahaha!"

Someone couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"Senior Brother Xu, you..."

Optimistic was drenched in sweat, feeling like his Sea of Consciousness was about to be torn apart. If he hadn’t practiced the Basic Divine Soul Evolution Method and received guidance from Master Tianshui, with his significantly strengthened Sea of Consciousness defense, he might have instantly disappeared, returning to the real world, unable to stay in the Demon Realm.

"Since you come from the Star Gate, just be a good Star Gate disciple. Don’t fantasize about gaining Master Tianshui’s favor and continuing to cultivate in the Soul Hall, much less becoming a Soul Master."

Xu Wensong said disdainfully, venting his anger toward Zhang Lingfeng on Optimistic.

He was the most talented among this group of trainees, having received Master Tianshui’s praise, even more outstanding than Zhang Lingfeng, who had been called to the front row by Master Tianshui for cultivation.

"You..."

Optimistic felt humiliated. He knew Xu Wensong was a Cyan Cloud Sect disciple, and the Star Gate and Cyan Cloud Sect often clashed over resources in the Black Water Star Realm.

But since everyone was a student of Master Tianshui, all cultivating in the Soul Hall, he thought such an outstanding person like Xu Wensong wouldn’t care about his identity as a Star Gate disciple and would treat him equally in guiding his cultivation.

The purpose of organizing this gathering was to pool resources, make friends, and have mutual support in the future.

Unexpectedly, it almost tore apart his Sea of Consciousness.

"I’ve already checked you for Master Tianshui. You have to leave the Soul Hall tomorrow."

Xu Wensong was unfazed.

"Hmph, even if I can’t become a Soul Master, I will become an Alchemist. We’ll see."

Optimistic said angrily, leaving with a flick of his sleeve.

"Senior Brother Xu, how could you..."

Li Mimi felt that Xu Wensong’s behavior was somewhat excessive, noticing that he was venting his anger on Optimistic.

"The Wild Boar Forest is too small to accommodate Star Gate disciples."

Optimistic knew Li Mimi was a good person but was also a Cyan Cloud Sect disciple. Once everyone loses their status as Master Tianshui’s students, they will continue to fight over cultivation resources.

Trying to calm the Star Gate and Cyan Cloud Sect disciples to peacefully discuss cultivation issues and share cultivation resources with this experience is obviously impossible.

He thought his previous idea was too optimistic, so he deliberately spoke loudly, hoping the other Star Gate disciples in the Wild Boar Forest would understand and not put any hope in Xu Wensong.

The Star Gate disciples looked at each other.

They clearly saw Optimistic being humiliated by Xu Wensong. After exchanging glances, they quietly got up and left the Wild Boar Forest, returning to the Soul Hall.

"Senior Brother Xu, why did you do that?"

Li Mimi suddenly realized that if Zhang Lingfeng had come along, he might have been humiliated by Xu Wensong too.

"Junior Sister Li, please sit down."

Xu Wensong said with a smile, explaining, "Zhang Lingfeng has the strength of Divine Dao Foundation Establishment and has obtained the Alliance Five-star License. The resources he’s enjoying are even better than many Cyan Cloud Sect members. If he continues cultivating in the Soul Hall, whether he eventually becomes a Soul Master or not, once he enters one of the three major Profession Domains, he will be a huge threat to our Cyan Cloud Sect."

"Junior Sister Li, you come from a prestigious family on the White Martial Star, with deep connections to the Black Snake Demon Race. The resources you enjoy are much more than ours, so you don’t care about how many resource subsidies the Star Gate has taken from the Cyan Cloud Sect over the years."

"The Alliance is strongly supporting the Star Gate; otherwise, with Zhang Lingfeng’s status, how could he have entered the Soul Hall?"

"While everyone is part of the Alliance, when it comes to interests, even relatives and friends will tear each other apart, let alone between sects."

"The Star Gate isn’t qualified to stand on equal footing with our Cyan Cloud Sect."

Several Cyan Cloud Sect disciples nodded in agreement.

"But we clearly agreed that this was just an unusual exchange meeting. After tomorrow, when everyone wants to gather again, who knows when that will be?"

Li Mimi looked speechless.

She thought, it’s good that Zhang Lingfeng didn’t come. Otherwise, with his personality and recent actions, his fate might be worse than Optimistic’s.

"The Star Gate already has a Hao Yuchen; it can’t have another Zhang Lingfeng. I will represent the Cyan Cloud Sect at the Star Gate Great Gathering under the guise of an exchange."

Xu Wensong said something startling.

"Wow!"

Everyone was in an uproar.

They were all incredulous.

"The reward for this year’s Star Gate Great Gathering, given by the Alliance, is a vein in the Black Water Star Realm. If this vein is held by our Star Gate, each of our resource subsidies could rise a level."

Xu Wensong reminded.

Such informed news showed that his identity was indeed not simple.

"Senior Brother Xu could give the Star Gate disciples a taste of their own medicine at the Star Gate Great Gathering. There’s no need to shame Optimistic and the others today. Doing so might only provoke their desire for revenge."

Li Mimi said kindly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wensong’s expression was a bit displeased. Li Mimi, as a Cyan Cloud Sect disciple, seemed to always be siding with the Star Gate.

"That bunch of Star Gate bastards should be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they always think about occupying and snatching our Cyan Cloud Sect’s cultivation resources."

Someone said unhappily.

"Brother Yi is the youngest Golden Core Cultivator in the Black Water Star Realm. The Alliance wants to allocate a large portion of the resources to the Star Gate. It’s unclear what the Alliance is thinking; our Cyan Cloud Sect is the true hope in the Black Water Star Realm."

"Indeed, so far, in the Black Water Star Realm, how many in the entire Star Gate have grasped the Mother Star Law? We’ve had several in the Cyan Cloud Sect, and Brother Yi will surely achieve it too in the future."

Everyone agreed unanimously.

Li Mimi gradually lowered her head.

...

Optimistic ran back to the Soul Hall.

Several Super Divine Mind Masters from the Star Gate followed closely behind.

"The Cyan Cloud Sect disciples really have bad intentions, damn it."

"Xu Wensong just wanted to humiliate us."

"I think that Li Mimi is alright."

"Alright my ass, there’s not a good one among the Cyan Cloud Sect disciples. They think about taking our cultivation resources all day."

...

The Star Gate Super Divine Mind Masters said angrily.

Optimistic stopped and looked at them, suddenly having a crazy idea: "It seems Zhang Lingfeng never cared about Xu Wensong. Could it be that he saw through Xu Wensong’s true nature early on or simply doesn’t take Xu Wensong seriously?"

"Since we’re all Star Gate disciples, why not ask him?"

"I think Zhang Lingfeng simply doesn’t believe he can continue staying in the Soul Hall, so he doesn’t want to join the crowd. We only value ourselves, truly thinking we can learn something from Xu Wensong and continue cultivating under Master Tianshui in the Soul Hall."

Several Star Gate disciples discussed.

Optimistic didn’t speak but looked towards Zhang Lingfeng’s residence. After thinking carefully, he ran towards it.

The Divine Soul Value was forty-six percent; the shape of the Sea of Consciousness had already turned into something like Jiang Nan’s Sea of Consciousness, having a Divine Soul prototype. Zhang Lingfeng always found it strange; could it be that he must wait until the Divine Soul Value is one hundred percent for the Sea of Consciousness to truly become a Divine Soul, and only then can Soul Power be released?

After Li Mimi left, he read a novel for a while but couldn’t resist studying the Divine Soul again.

He had a strange idea.

He wanted to release Soul Power from the existing Divine Soul.

He believed Soul Power was just another form of evolved Super Divine Telekinesis.

Perhaps it’s just a different wave shape being released.

With this in mind, the desire to release Soul Power grew stronger and stronger.

"Buzz!"

Finally, Zhang Lingfeng’s Sea of Consciousness vibrated, and a strange force surged within it.
