Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along-Chapter 209 - 44: Finally Becoming a Master!

Huang Ling wanted to confirm.

She knew the Xuanjing Bureau would surely investigate until the end.

If it turned out Zhang Lingfeng wasn’t as powerful as reported, all their resources would be deducted, and they’d be labeled as deceivers of the Divine Sect, obtaining cultivation resource subsidies through deceit.

"Hmm."

"The ghost monkey is extremely vigilant. To confuse it, I took Zhang Lingfeng over. Of course, I also wanted to teach this kid a lesson, to make him realize the importance of mental telekinesis.

Unexpectedly, with one move, his mental telekinesis easily pierced the ghost monkey’s Sea of Consciousness defense, and at a critical moment, he used telekinesis to drive a shard of glass to sever one of the ghost monkey’s fingers.

I was right above him then, easily able to control the ghost monkey, and suddenly noticed his unusual telekinesis, watching him save his classmate’s father with it."

It was because Huo Guoqiong witnessed the whole process that he was eager to become Zhang Lingfeng’s master, but to his surprise, Zhang Lingfeng refused him resolutely.

The words "I’d rather die than agree" struck him like a tightening spell, leaving Huo Guoqiong’s head aching. Suddenly, being a Level 5 Telekinesis Master didn’t seem like much.

"As long as when the Xuanjing Bureau’s personnel assess him, Zhang Lingfeng can demonstrate object-killing abilities, and his Sea of Consciousness value stabilizes above 0.5, we should be fine."

Huang Ling breathed a sigh of relief.

Killing enemies with objects was personally witnessed by Huo Guoqiong, so it certainly couldn’t be wrong.

"I’m suddenly a bit worried. Did he trigger this ability in a moment of desperation? The person he saved was his classmate’s father. The place where the ghost monkey appeared was below the building he used to live, filled with his friends and family."

As a Level 5 Telekinesis Master, Huo Guoqiong knew that a telekinesis master could trigger skills in many situations. Sometimes skills, once awakened, would persist; other times, they were fleeting.

Being eager to become Zhang Lingfeng’s master, Huo Guoqiong left in a hurry due to anger, forgetting to instruct Tao Qiuhong further, and quickly returned to Inner Ring City.

Tao Qiuhong, meanwhile, reported everything seen truthfully to the upper echelons of the Martial Hall, submitting it for review by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, attributing part of the credit to Zhang Lingfeng.

During this period.

Tao Qiuhong also submitted the report for him to review.

Because of his anger, and being a Level 5 Telekinesis Master, Huo Guoqiong disdained to fight over credit with Zhang Lingfeng, attributing all credit to Zhang Lingfeng.

Unexpectedly, this led to scrutiny by the Xuanjing Bureau, causing trouble.

"I’ll go verify with Zhang Lingfeng now."

Huang Ling said.

"It’s too late, the Xuanjing Bureau personnel will let the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance observe Zhang Lingfeng’s every move before issuing the document. Contacting Zhang Lingfeng now, even by phone, would only raise suspicion."

After calming down, Huo Guoqiong realized the severity of the situation.

"I hope he truly relies on extraordinary talent, awakening the object-killing ability, and that his Sea of Consciousness value can also reach above 0.50."

Huang Ling prayed.

Huo Guoqiong rubbed his head, also fervently hoping inwardly.

If defined as fraudulently obtaining cultivation resource subsidies, the punishment from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance isn’t something to take lightly.

That night.

Except for Zhang Lingfeng who slept soundly.

The personnel who received the red-head document were all anxious, struggling through the night.

This included Yan Fei.

As a Body Tempering Master, his current strength was genuine with no fluff, and for this reason, he understood how difficult it was to become a Body Tempering Master.

Previously watching Zhang Lingfeng rapidly advance in strength.

Combat Power constantly increasing.

Transforming from a Dharma Martial Artist to a Flesh Realm Martial Artist, activating the Second Layer of Dharma, and cultivating the Body Tempering Technique to its first transformation, he was amazed from start to finish.

His heart was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment towards Zhang Lingfeng.

He was also filled with thoughts of the rewards he was about to receive until he saw the red-head document, which scared him into a cold sweat, causing him to carefully recall his experiences over the forty-some days.

He then realized how terrifying Zhang Lingfeng’s transformation truly was.

In the face of generous rewards, he lost himself, constantly thinking about what he would do after obtaining the Vein-Opening Liquid and becoming a bloodline powerhouse.

Suddenly seeing the examination content on the red-head document, he was abruptly awakened.

The Xuanjing Bureau personnel not only wanted to check if Zhang Lingfeng had cultivated the Body Tempering Technique to transformation but also distinguish whether the transformation came purely through talent or through potion aid or other means.

Additionally, they needed to verify if Zhang Lingfeng had cultivated the Jade Sand Body Tempering Technique to Great Success and if the Second Layer of Dharma was activated through the Jade Sand Body Tempering Technique.

Yan Fei always judged Zhang Lingfeng’s progress with the Body Tempering Technique through his assessment processes and Combat Power changes.

The first transformation of the Body Tempering Technique was witnessed by him and Chen Duling through a large screen in the examination room when Zhang Lingfeng ran the Jade Sand Body Tempering Technique, emitting a soft flow of blood in his body, with physical fitness exceeding 30.0.

As for the Great Success of the Jade Sand Body Tempering Technique and the activation of the Second Layer of Dharma, it was personally witnessed by him and Wang Dashan in Huo Guoqiong’s office.

The changes in Zhang Lingfeng’s body and the release of the power of the Second Layer of Dharma were fresh in his memory, and he completed the Flesh Realm Martial Artist assessment the next day, receiving a large flat apartment for it.

All signs indicated Zhang Lingfeng had indeed cultivated the Golden Sand Body Tempering Technique to transformation and achieved Great Mastery Level, also activating the Second Layer of Dharma as a result.
