Chapter 122 Three Weeks, Twelve Stages in a Row!
After saying these words, Bud regretted it.
He knew that he had acted rashly.
As an old fellow who had lived for more than a thousand years, he was actually angry with a child. If this were to be told to others, it would be truly embarrassing.
However, there was nothing he could do about it. He was truly curious. Given Lin Lei’s extraordinary talent and high standards, why would he accept a stupid disciple like Ella?
If he could truly make Ella an outstanding disciple, then Lin Lei’s reputation would skyrocket.
But…
If he couldn’t, perhaps everyone in the entire mainland would use this as an excuse to mock Lin Lei
After all, Lin Lei was simply too outstanding… It was truly too difficult to find a flaw in him…
Speaking about Lin Lei
When Lin Lei heard Bud’s question, he was first stunned, and then he laughed,
“Bud, did you think that my disciple, Ella, has very poor talent?”
Lin Lei looked at Bud with a smile on his face.
This question stunned Bud.
What did this mean?
Was it just me who felt that your disciple was poor?
That was everyone felt that she was poor!
“Could it be that her talent isn’t bad? Lin Lei, do you think that Ella is a genius?”
Bud pursed his lips with a mocking smile on his face as he retorted.
At the same time, he glanced at Ella, only to discover that the little girl was lowering her head with an unconfident look on her face.
In Bud’s eyes, this was the performance of a weakling without question!
Only someone who had an extremely low self-esteem would always put on such an posture.
If Ella really was a favorite child of the heavens, her words and actions should all be filled with confidence.
Bud then thought about how, when he was very young, if someone dared to question his talent, he would dare to compete with him in public.
This was the confidence of a confident person.
“Bud, why don’t you take a good look at Ella again? For example… can you sense her current mageforce aura?”
Lin Lei wasn’t angry., he just laughed and reminded Bud.
Hearing this, Bud was stunned. He didn’t know why Lin Lei had said this.
Ella’s current mageforce aura… ?
What did that mean?
Three weeks ago, I had seen it.
Bud couldn’t help but think back to when he had first arrived at the Li Fire Sect three weeks ago, he had inspected Ella’s body.
He had discovered that the mageforce aura within the girl’s body was very weak. Clearly, she had just entered the school not long ago.
It had only been 20 days or so. How could she be any different?
Even if she was a genius, she would at most be a Magus apprentice of the first rank.
More so, she wasn’t.
Therefore, what did Lin Lei mean by this?
Seeing Lin Lei’s playful gaze, Bud’s hair stood on end.
And then, he stared at Ella intently.
At the same time, the old beggar, Wharton, and the bard, William, by his side, looked curiously at Ella.
The three of them looked at Ella seriously.
The three of them were all at the peak of the tenth level of the Sage. They thought that they had the ability to examine a little kid.
Therefore, it did not take long for them to see the real strength of Ella at this moment.
And, they did not know until they looked…
The three of them were stunned!
“Impossible! Absolutely impossible! This, this, this… this is the mageforce fluctuation of a second rank Magus? ? ? This little fellow… could she already be a second rank Magus at this moment?”
Bud cried out in surprise and was the first to show an expression of disbelief.
Soon, the old beggar also showed an expression of disbelief.
William was even more excited. He directly went forward and half-knelt in front of Ella. He grabbed her hand and carefully probed…
After the second probe, the three of them confirmed:
It was real!
This little fellow, Ella, was now a Magus of the second rank!
“This, this, this, this, this…”
Bud stuttered, his eyes were wide as he stared at Lin Lei. His expression was as if he wanted to eat someone alive!
“What’s going on? Lin Lei, how did you do it? ? ?”
“I clearly remember that three weeks ago, the mageforce in Ella’s body was so weak that she didn’t even have a Magus apprentice of the first rank. How could it be that in just three weeks… she had already risen to the twelfth rank and become a Magus of the second rank?”
“What did you do to her?”
“Let me tell you something, Lin Lei. You shouldn’t spoil things by excessive enthusiasm! In the path of cultivation, one must take one step at a time. You can’t go astray!”
Bud spoke in a heavy and earnest tone.
In his heart, he had already come to the conclusion that for Ella to rise so quickly in such a short period of time, Lin Lei must have used some sort of secret technique!
“Uncle… Uncle Bud, Master didn’t take me astray. I. . . I relied on myself to train to become a Magus of the second rank.”
Hearing someone slander Lin Lei, Ella wasn’t happy at all. Very quickly, she timidly denied it.
But how could Bud believe the words of a little girl? Very soon, he was about to retort.
However, Lin Lei waved his hand, stopping him, laughed and said.
“Bud, what my disciple said is correct.”
“She really relied on herself. In just three short weeks, she went from being an entry-level Magus apprentice to a Magus of the second rank.”
“She’s not a loser. She’s a genius who was born with two magical circuits!”
“As for why you discovered that her aura was weak three weeks ago, that’s because at that time, Ella had just combed through two magical circuits.”
“If you don’t believe me, you can have a duel with her. What do you think?”
Lin Lei laughed as he explained the entire situation.
After hearing his explanation, the old beggar and the other two couldn’t help but step forward and carefully inspect the mageforce circuits in Ella’s body.
Soon, they discovered that this was indeed the case!
Ella really did have two mageforce circuits!
However, this sort of strange phenomenon couldn’t be seen from the outside.
In fact, if Ella hadn’t already combed through the two mageforce circuits, they definitely wouldn’t have discovered it.
They didn’t know how Lin Lei had discovered the strangeness of Ella.
If it had been the three of them, they probably would have buried such a genius.
Thinking up to this point, the three of them instantly felt even more reverence towards Lin Lei.
However, although they were surprised that Ella was a genius who possessed two mageforce circuits, they still weren’t convinced by what Lin Lei had just said–
“If you are unconvinced, you can have a duel with Ella.”
What did that mean?
It meant that although Ella was only a Magus of the second rank, her power was on par with theirs!
Lin Lei, by saying this, weren’t you being a bit too confident in your own disciple… ?
Bud and the other two had grim looks on their faces.
We admitted that our power was inferior to yours, but if you said that we were inferior to your ten-year-old disciple…
We refused to admit it!
The three of them thought angrily, and then, Bud spoke out first.
“Lin Lei, how do you want us to compete?”
“The three of us will accompany to the end.”
“Only, if we are able to defeat this little disciple of yours, you must tell me how you became a Great Sage!”
After Bud finished speaking, Wharton and William both turned to look at him.
This Bud… really knew how to seize every opportunity!
However… it was exactly what we wanted!
The old beggar and the bard both grinned as they thought to themselves. To be honest, they also wanted to know how Lin Lei became a Great Sage.
Right now, this truly was a heaven sent opportunity!
