"Sir, there's no need to say more."

"It's not that I'm being unkind, but Ling Feng is simply incorrigible. Continuing to teach him not only wastes time but also tarnishes my reputation."

"You should know, the reason I agreed to teach Ling Feng cultivation was to become recognized as a Spear Grandmaster by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance, not because I coveted the cultivation resources you offered me."

Guo Wei was resolute in his stance.

Originally, he thought that with careful guidance, Ling Feng would eventually understand his efforts and earnestly train with him to sooner uncover the source of their resonant power. Little did he know Ling Feng would remain stubborn, seeing his goodwill as something worthless. Guo Wei endured for many days, and now he felt he'd been tolerant enough.

As a spear technique master from a third-tier province, his fame was widespread, and he was treated as a distinguished guest wherever he went. He intended to make a mark in Jiangbei Province by teaching the students there and helping them advance to the third round, which would in turn bring him a good reputation.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Ling Feng.

Guo Wei realized that if he didn't leave now, his reputation would be at stake, so he decided to quit, not even giving face to the King of North of the River.

"Teacher Guo, I'm busy with public affairs and have not been attentive enough, please forgive me."

The King of North of the River bowed and said.

"You misunderstand, that's not what I mean. The main issue is Ling Feng is..."

Speaking of Ling Feng, Guo Wei was gritting his teeth in anger.

"Jiangbei Province is a harsh land, barely seeing the emergence of a talent like Ling Feng, who the whole province considers a gem. I fear for his safety, even demanding he live in my mansion so I can understand his character better.

Truthfully, I invited Teacher Guo over here not with the expectation that Ling Feng would grow immensely stronger, but in hopes he could gain insights from you, so that in the upcoming national exams, he wouldn't be flustered.

He has exceptional talent but has little experience, never having sparred with strong individuals from third-tier provinces. With you teaching him, even if he doesn't learn new skills, he could gain experience and avoid being a laughingstock later on."

The King of North of the River spoke slowly.

He didn't want to put too much pressure on Guo Wei.

But as a spear grandmaster, Guo Wei felt pained to see a student like Ling Feng waste time, as if mud that couldn't be shaped, and he wished he could just slap him to his senses.

Facing the King's persuasion, he remained unmoved, saying, "With Ling Feng's strength, advancing to the second round is no problem at all. As for the third round, it depends on his own fate!"

"Sir, Teacher Guo, Ling Feng has arrived."

It was Chu Yuyan leading Ling Feng over.

"Hmph!"

Seeing Ling Feng, Guo Wei became even more furious. If the King of North of the River hadn't been there, he'd have turned and left, not wasting any more words on Ling Feng at all.

"Ling Feng, look at what you've done to get Teacher Guo so upset, now hurry and apologize to him!"

The King of North of the River commanded.

Guo Wei, highly respected, was someone the King had put in enormous effort to invite, only for Ling Feng to anger him into leaving.

"Teacher Guo, I'm sorry, please don't leave, alright?"

Ling Feng pleaded.

"Hmph, you're not wrong, it's all my fault."

Guo Wei said, his face dark.

"Please don't be this way. In fact, I have been thinking about and diligently cultivating what you taught me, and now I know the source of the power that resonates with my spear intent."

Ling Feng reassured.

"You think I'm blind? I dedicated myself to teaching you cultivation, and how do you repay me? With excuses and complaints, like crying for help at every turn. Someone like you, no matter how high your talent, won't find the source of your spear intent."

Guo Wei snorted coldly.

"Teacher Guo, it seems Ling Feng claims he found it."

Chu Yuyan tentatively said, unsure.

"I think I heard that too."

The King of North of the River showed a puzzled expression.

"Impossible?"

Guo Wei looked incredulous.

"I wouldn't dare deceive you about such a matter."

Ling Feng said seriously.

In due time, the group arrived at the cultivation room.

"Boom!"

Ling Feng wielded his long spear, performing the Basic Spear Skill Thirteen Forms, releasing the power of spear intent from the spear technique. Once again, he felt the green, vine-like Power of Heaven and Earth.

As a spear grandmaster,

and a Destruction System Mental Telekinesis Master, along with the powerful Spiritual Martial Artist, both the King of North of the River and Guo Wei, even Chu Yuyan, could sense a unique Power of Heaven and Earth fluctuation from Ling Feng's spear technique.

Previously, when Ling Feng released spear intent, they all perceived a binding force. But now, as Ling Feng once again released spear intent, not only did they feel a stronger binding force, but they also saw vine-like forces wrapping around their bodies.

Though this layer of spear intent was still in an invisible state, captured by their telepathy, it was enough to indicate that Ling Feng had found the source of spear intent, allowing for its further evolution.

In other words, Ling Feng hadn't deceived anyone at all.

"Wonderful, splendid!"

The King of North of the River applauded.

"Teacher Guo truly is a spear grandmaster; in a mere seven or eight days, he managed to help Ling Feng find the source of his spear intent. It's truly eye-opening."
