49: Batch copying Nine-Layer Waves

The next day.

There was a Young Grandmaster in Donghai, Mr. Ling.

This news swept through various regions like a violent storm.

Young Grandmaster—what a resounding title.

In addition, Ling Tianshi and Tang Qiaolan, who were lying in a private hospital room, also received this news.

"Qiaolan, as expected of our child, as expected of our child."

"Hahaha, a Young Grandmaster!"

"A Young Grandmaster! Donghai regards my son as its superior!"

"My son has the potential for the Ninth Rank!" Ling Tianshi was extremely excited and hadn't slept all night.

He even got up in the morning to do some radio calisthenics.

Seeing her husband so happy and her son so successful, Tang Qiaolan was also beaming with joy.

Even though Ling Xian's reputation had only spread among the top forces of Donghai.

But this was only the first step, wasn't it?

"Alright, it's your son who's successful, not you! Sit down and eat breakfast!" Tang Qiaolan grabbed Ling Tianshi's ear.

"Besides, back then, you weren't any worse than our son."

Tang Qiaolan said, thinking of her husband Ling Tianshi's past glory.

"That's all in the past; our son will only be stronger than me in the future."

"Actually, I feel a bit sorry for him."

"I didn't want him to practice martial arts and hoped he'd avoid the martial arts world."

"I never expected that after being away from home for three years, he would leap from an ordinary person to a Grandmaster."

"Besides luck, he must have suffered quite a bit."

On the other side, Zhang Ming discovered that Lin Feng had disappeared, and the company he had just opened could no longer withstand the Ling Corporation's encirclement.

At this moment, without a second word, he activated his special talent: Betrayal!

He took the money and ran!

The Jiangnan Xia Family.

"Sister, have you heard?"

"A Young Grandmaster recently appeared in Donghai!"

"Wow, he's so amazing. A Young Grandmaster—becoming a Grandmaster at such a young age. I really want to take him as my master!" Xia Mo's younger sister, Xia Rong, said as she hugged Xia Mo.

Unfortunately, Xia Mo was staring at her phone with a silly grin, only giving a brief response to her sister Xia Rong's words.

"Mm-hmm!"

Xia Rong was a loli. She didn't have a round face like Wu Yueyue; instead, her face was shaped like an inverted pebble.

Her figure was even more exaggerated—petite and cute, like a perfectly scaled exquisite doll, yet her chest was no less developed than an average person's, unlike Chi Taohua's "airport."

She was wearing a Lolita dress.

Overall, she looked like something out of a dream.

"Father already said he won't let you practice martial arts; just be a proper young lady of the Xia Family." Xia Mo's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Xia Rong's head.

"Sister, you've been grinning like an idiot for so long. What are you looking at?"

"I'm chatting with my Best friend."

"You're lying. How could you be this happy chatting with a Best friend?" Xia Rong snatched the phone away.

She saw the chat history on the screen.

【Shi Momo: I saw Ling Xian yesterday.】

【Xia Mo: How is he?】

【Shi Momo: Very well. His state of mind is much better than before; he looks like the eldest young master of the Ling Family now.】

【Xia Mo: ...Good!】

【Shi Momo: He asked me to pass on a message: he still loves you!】

After that, Xia Mo didn't reply.

And Shi Momo didn't say anything more.

Perhaps she had her own little schemes in mind.

That was why she hadn't told Xia Mo that the Young Grandmaster in Donghai was actually Ling Xian.

"Sister, Daddy won't let you have any more contact with that guy Ling Xian. Why are you still paying attention to him?"

"You couldn't possibly still be unable to forget that kid, could you?"

"A weak coward—what's there to like about him?" Xia Rong complained.

"Alright, don't tell Daddy, and I'll go with you to find that Young Grandmaster, okay?" Xia Mo comforted her sister like she was comforting a child.

"No!"

"Then... how about adding a cultivation method!"

"...Fine... then!"

...The night of the third day after the Donghai Grand Competition.

Ling Xian lay on a grandmaster chair, leisurely looking at the stars.

On a summer night, the stars were very bright.

"illusion dream, open the panel!"

【host: Ling Xian】

【villain points: 60000 points】

【Cultivation: Fifth Rank (Late Stage)】

【Skills: God-level Calligraphy, Advanced Driving Skills, Eight Languages, Beginner Business Proficiency, Advanced Piano Skill...】

【Cultivation Method: Cannot Be Queried - Cultivation Method】

【Martial Technique: Dragon Capturing Hand】

【Divine Ability: Undead Divine Fire】

【Special: Super Recovery】

【Status: Abnormal】

【Item: Lin Feng Brand Destiny Gift Pack x1】

【Subordinate Forces: Eight Hundred Silent Undead Army (Not Awakened)】

"I've never had such a harvest of villain points. Luckily, I waited until Lin Feng reached the Fifth Rank; otherwise, the rewards definitely wouldn't have been this generous."

Ling Xian had only just learned from illusion dream that the stronger the Child of Destiny was, the better the Destiny Gift Pack would be upon their death, and the more villain points he would obtain.

"illusion dream, open Lin Feng's Destiny Gift Pack!"

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Beginner Eye of Detection (My eyes are the yardstick; you can view basic information within one minor realm higher than your own, upgradable).】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a copy of the Grandmaster's trump card, "Nine-Layer Wave."】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Intermediate Lucky Wheel (10,000 villain points per spin, rewards are even more generous).】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Minor Blue Star Destiny Bonus (When your destiny is high enough, you'll be even more of a Child of Destiny than the so-called Children of Destiny!).】

【Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining one opportunity to copy a martial technique! (Regardless of rank or how strange it is, as long as it falls within the category of martial techniques, it can be copied).】

Ling Xian's eye twitched; the rewards seemed generous.

But in reality, the only good one was the Eye of Detection.

Nine-Layer Wave was originally a gift from Lin Feng's destiny; furthermore, Ling Xian didn't think Nine-Layer Wave was as powerful as his Dragon Capturing Hand.

If one were to truly compare them, it would be like a mayfly looking up at the vast sky.

As for the Intermediate Lucky Wheel? That counts as a reward? Shouldn't that be a given?

A Minor Blue Star Destiny Bonus? Just how "minor" is this?

Copying a martial technique? I'd have to encounter a good one first, wouldn't I?

"illusion dream, be honest. Did you embezzle? How much did you take?"

【Great host, how could you slander the cute illusion dream?】

【We are in a cooperative relationship; what benefit would embezzlement bring me?】

Only after hearing this did Ling Xian dispel his doubts.

【Dear host, this system is showing great mercy by giving you a piece of intelligence for free.】

【Lin Feng's residual destiny is urging his subordinate force, the Wolf Pack Mercenary Group, to smuggle themselves into the Dragon Kingdom to launch a final revenge. Their only target is you, the host.】

【Detection shows they are carrying threatening weapons like rocket launchers. host, please be cautious!】

"illusion dream, that's it?"

"The Ling Family found out about such a trivial matter long ago."

I've already tipped off that girl Yue Cailan.

"When the time comes, the armed police or whoever will step in and wipe them all out." Ling Xian's voice was full of exasperation toward illusion dream.

【Great host, don't worry. The next piece of free intelligence I give will definitely be useful.】

illusion dream's anxious voice did not disturb Ling Xian.

Ling Xian looked at the extracted Nine-Layer Wave, thought for a moment, and called for Ling Wu and Wu Poshan.

"Young Master!"

"Young Master Ling!"

The two bowed respectfully.

"This is a Grandmaster-level martial technique, Nine-Layer Wave. You must have seen the power it displayed when Lin Feng used it."

Ling Wu, make a few copies and distribute them to the hidden guards.

You should also learn it yourselves."

If the original owner of this martial technique saw this, they would definitely want to curse.

Although such ancient martial techniques cannot be photocopied using modern technology—as doing so would destroy much of the content—

—one could simply find someone to transcribe the book.

The martial technique they regarded as a treasure was being mass-copied here by Ling Xian.
