Chapter 5 Taking on Apprentices
Seeing the two of them so shocked they were almost speechless, Leng Yaozhu smiled understandingly, slowed her speech, and spoke in a reassuring tone:
"Please don't panic."
"I have come here in person today for a very simple purpose: I have taken a liking to Wang Chuan's talent and wish to take him as my personal disciple."
"Therefore, you two don't need to regard me as any important person. Just think of me as your son's future teacher."
"Accepting...accepting disciples?!"
Wang Zhe finally regained his voice, but he became stuttering due to extreme shock and excitement, and his face instantly turned red.
He never dreamed that on the very first day his son awakened his martial spirit, he would attract such a respected and powerful figure to personally accept him as a disciple!
This is more than just bringing glory to one's ancestors!
It's like their ancestors' graves are emitting auspicious smoke!
"good."
Leng Yaozhu nodded firmly, her gaze sincere.
"Wang Chuan's talent can be described as a once-in-a-century, no, perhaps a once-in-a-millennium, unparalleled talent."
"Since I have the opportunity to meet him, I naturally do not want to miss such a talented and virtuous person."
"What do you two think?"
Wang Zhe was so excited that he blushed and even became a little restless.
He never expected his son to be so successful!
Just then, there was a gentle knock on the door of the reception room, and Wang Chuan, who had finished the test, walked in accompanied by a staff member.
His gaze was immediately drawn to Leng Yaozhu, who was sitting opposite his parents.
Her fiery red hair, jade-like face, unique temperament that blends passion and aloofness, and her seemingly calm body that contains vast soul power fluctuations—all these qualities demonstrate the extraordinary nature of her owner.
When Wang Zhe saw his son come in, he quickly suppressed his excitement and introduced him:
"Xiao Chuan, come here quickly!"
"This is the cold tower master of the Spirit Pagoda headquarters, His Majesty the Heavenly Phoenix!"
"Your Majesty, she..."
"She wants to take you as her personal disciple!"
Wang Chuan was only slightly surprised for a moment before quickly calming down.
His martial spirit is the Five Virtues Phoenix, while Leng Yaozhu is the Heavenly Phoenix; they have a natural attraction and resonance with each other.
Given his extraordinary talent, it's no surprise that Leng Yaozhu personally intervened and considered taking him on as a disciple.
He recalled the few bits of information he had about Leng Yaozhu.
She is recognized as an absolute beauty by the Spirit Pagoda and even the entire Soul Master world of the continent. Her strength and status are both top-notch, and her reputation seems to be quite good...
Wang Chuan thought about it and decided that it was acceptable to pay respects to this master.
Leng Yaozhu's gaze also fell on Wang Chuan.
The six-year-old boy had clear and calm eyes, though he looked at her with curiosity and scrutiny.
However, he showed none of the timidity or excessive excitement typical of children, a quality that pleased her even more.
She spoke directly, her voice clear and melodious:
"Wang Chuan, I wish to take you as my disciple and personally teach you the way of the Soul Master. In the future, you will inherit my mantle."
What do you think?
Without the slightest hesitation, Wang Chuan stepped forward, faced Leng Yaozhu, and bowed respectfully in a standard disciple's salute, his voice clear and strong:
"Disciple Wang Chuan greets Master!"
"Good! Good! Good!"
A bright and charming smile instantly bloomed on Leng Yaozhu's face, and she said "good" three times in a row, clearly in a very pleasant mood.
Looking at the small figure in front of her, whose talent and temperament were both outstanding, she couldn't help but feel a little lost and emotional.
Given Wang Chuan's qualifications, if the news were to spread, countless forces and powerful individuals across the continent would fight tooth and nail to recruit him.
Being able to recruit someone before they fully demonstrate their abilities is, in a sense, a huge bargain.
Overjoyed, Leng Yaozhu immediately thought of a gift for her new disciple.
She turned to Wang Zhe and Luo Ya, who were still immersed in immense joy, and said gently:
"Please have a seat here and some tea and refreshments."
"Now that Xiao Chuan has reached level ten, he naturally needs to acquire a soul ring."
"As his teacher, I first took him to choose a suitable spirit as a gift for his entry into the family."
Wang Zhe and Luo Ya naturally had no objections and nodded hastily, their faces beaming with uncontrollable smiles.
Seeing how much Leng Yaozhu valued and cared for Wang Chuan, their last trace of unease dissipated, leaving only a sense of relief and pride.
...
Leng Yaozhu led Wang Chuan to a soul selection room within the Spirit Pagoda branch, which had higher licensing authority.
This room is more spacious than the previous testing room. The most eye-catching feature is the giant soul-guided display screen on the front wall, which is three meters high and six meters wide. The screen is black and waiting to be lit up.
Leng Yaozhu personally operated the control panel, explaining to Wang Chuan as she did so:
"Although it's just a branch, it has some high-quality video data of century-old spirits. Take a look and see if there's anything that catches your eye."
As he spoke, various three-dimensional images and detailed information of spirits began to appear on the screen one after another.
Flame Lion, Gale Wolf, Armored Rhinoceros, Phantom Cat, Soundwave Bird...
Each one is lifelike, with its attributes, specialties, possible soul skill directions, and fusion requirements listed next to it.
Leng Yaozhu patiently explained the advantages and disadvantages of each type of spirit to Wang Chuan, and analyzed its compatibility with the Phoenix Martial Spirit.
After introducing all the spirits on display, she saw that Wang Chuan was still hesitant and added:
"If you don't like any of these, that's fine too."
"I can take you directly to the Spirit Ascension Platform at the Spirit Transfer Tower headquarters or a higher-level Soul Spirit Vault to select one..."
"If you are not satisfied with any of these, I can also apply to headquarters to customize the most suitable soul plan for you."
"Now that you've joined my ranks, you don't need to worry about resources; I'll naturally give you the best."
Wang Chuan was slightly shaken and sighed inwardly.
Wow, this master is a real steal!
The treatment of the disciples personally taught by the deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower is indeed extraordinary.
This gesture seems even more generous than Shrek Academy's rumored investment in its core disciples; it's practically paving the way for whatever one desires.
However, he was not blinded by his emotions, but calmly considered his own situation.
His Five Virtues Phoenix Martial Soul inherently contains the power of the Five Elements and Five Virtues, and is naturally close to and can control the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.
Moreover, he can sense changes in the heavens and earth, foresee the future, command birds, and even use music to attack or assist.
Therefore, he believed in his choice...
It's not necessary to limit oneself to directly enhancing a certain elemental attack. Instead, one could consider a soul spirit that can complement or synergize with his powerful mental strength and the multifaceted talents of the Five Virtues Phoenix Martial Soul.
But he didn't directly state his thoughts.
Instead, he described in detail to Leng Yaozhu how his martial soul could control the five elements and possess abilities related to music, and respectfully asked for her guidance:
"Master, I have a limited understanding of spirits. Given my current situation, I don't know which spirit would be most suitable for me?"
