CH 142

Chapter 142 Now wants to acknowledge a Master? Line up!

William quickly arrived in front of Linley’s courtyard.

But right now, to his surprise, he discovered that he wasn’t the only one here.

Even his old friend Bud had come.

In fact… Roderick, Natasha and the group of disciples who had rushed over to ask Walton for advice had also arrived.

What was going on?

Hadn’t they gone to look for Walton?

Why did they come here?

William was puzzled.

After communicating with them, he understood:

They indeed went to look for Walton.

But Walton was no longer in his room. Instead, he had come to Linley’s residence with Ella.

The two of them were currently knocking on Linley’s door.

However, there was still no response from within.

“So, Linley isn’t here?”

William raised his head to look into the room.

As a Sage, he was very sensitive to the auras of Enchanters.

This was especially true for Enchanters he was familiar with. As long as they didn’t intentionally hide their auras, he would be able to quickly tell if they were around him or not.

At this moment, William could clearly sense that Linley was in his residence and had not left.

“Linley is here? But… why isn’t he opening the door?”

William was puzzled. He turned to look at Bud, who was by his side.

He knew that if he could sense Linley’s aura, then Bud would definitely be able to sense it as well!

“I don’t know either. Could it be that Linley is in closed-door training again?”

Bud replied softly, then said, “Just now, when I met Ella, she said that Linley hasn’t left the house for many days now.”

“She was worried that something had happened to Linley, but she was also worried that she would disturb her master, Linley. Thus, everyday, she would bring the food to the door on time, and then she would sit there quietly, meditating and waiting.”

“However, almost ten days have passed, and Linley still hasn’t come out.”

As Bud spoke, he paused for a moment, somewhat wanting to say something. He casted William a glance, later continued.

“William… Ella has become a Sage…”

What?!

William had been listening to Bud calmly, but when he heard what Bud said, his expression changed drastically!

“A ten-year-old Sage?!”

“And… how long has it been?”

“Two months ago, when we first came to the Li Fire Sect, Ella wasn’t even a magic circuit apprentice…”

“It’s only been two months, and she’s already a Sage?”

William was stunned.

For the first time, he felt a chill down his spine!

Back then, when he was ten years old, he had already studied magic affinity for two years, but he was only a level-two magic circuit apprentice.

But, just like that, he was already considered to be the most talented person of his generation.

Later, when he was eighteen years old, he advanced to level-one Enchanter.

In eight years, he walked the entire path of a Magic Affinity Apprentice and advanced to an Enchanter.

He was extremely proud of this incident back then.

He even clearly remembered that his master, William Saul, praised him in front of many people, saying that he was a genius with outstanding talent in his generation!

He even bluntly said that he would definitely be a famous figure in the future world of Magic!

But all of this glory was nothing more than a joke in front of Ella!

An enormous joke!

“Oh my God… two months… from an Apprentice to a Sage…”

“Should I say that her talent is extraordinary, or should I say that Linley’s talent in teaching is extraordinary?”

William was completely stupefied.

He still remembered that when he and the others first met Ella, they had all been whispering to each other, saying that this little fellow had absolutely no talent in training, and didn’t understand why Linley had taken her in as his disciple.

But who would have thought that two months later, they would be the ones to be slapped in the face.

That little girl who hadn’t even mastered magic affinity, was now on the same realm as them…

“Don’t be sad. There are still more shocking news that I haven’t told you. Hang in there, William…”

Bud looked at William with a look of schadenfreude.

He wanted to see the look on William’s face when he was defeated.

After all, when he first heard the news, he also had the same expression.

He wanted everyone to die together!

Bud thought ‘darkly’ in his heart.

“What other news?”

When William heard Bud’s words, he turned his head with a dark face,

“What other news could be more shocking than this? Say it, or I won’t believe anything even if you beat me to death!”

“To be honest, this news is indeed more shocking. It’s about Walton.”

Laughing merrily, Bud moved closer to William’s ear. Seeing his shocked face, he slowly spoke.

“Just now, when I saw Ella and Walton appear together, I couldn’t help but ask Walton how he came to understand how to become a Great Sage…”

“At that time, Walton only said one thing to me…”

“All of this have to thank Linley. Acknowledging Linley as his master was the most correct choice he ever made in his life!”

Bard said with a smile on his face.

As for William, after hearing these words, he was completely stunned. He felt as though he had fallen into an ice cave!

Was it really… was it really because he had acknowledged Linley as his master?

Not only was Linley a one-in-a-million genius in training…

He was also a once-in-a-century Master?!

What sort of existence had he encountered?

In the past, he had been a genius Enchanter who had dominated the entire continent. He made himself known as a complete genius of the Eastern Emperor Gandalf, but he hadn’t been as talented as Linley, had he?

“This… This is simply inconceivable!”

“How did Linley do it?”

“I have to ask him… I have to!”

William murmured to himself, his fists tightly clenched!

Hearing this, Bud laughed and patted his shoulder, then pointed at the surrounding crowd.

“Don’t be so excited, William. It’s not just you… Now, look at this crowd. Who doesn’t want to see Linley?”

“Ever since Walton said that he was promoted to a Great Sage because he acknowledged Linley as his master, everyone was excited!”

“Right now, everyone is fighting to become Linley’s disciple!”

A hint of a bitter smile appeared on Bud’s face. As he spoke, he pointed at the distant Roderick and his daughter, then whispered into William’s ear.

“And William, quick, look. Even the sect patriarch of the Li Fire Sect, Roderick, is hoping that Linley will accept his daughter as his disciple!”

“Right now, it’s not a matter of whether or not we’ll be able to see Linley. It’s a matter of acknowledging him as our master before they do!”

“If we’re too late, in the future, your seniors won’t just be Ella and Walton. There will be… Roderick’s daughter!”

“And even Roderick!”

“Wiiliam, can you endure this?”

Bud patted William on the shoulder, a fiery look on his face as he spoke.

Although these words were a bit exaggerated…

However. it had to be said that these words struck a soft spot in William’s heart.

In an instant, a buzzing sound rang out in William’s mind!

D*mn it…

Previously when Linley begged them to acknowledge him as their master, relying on his status and prestige, he completely ignored the offer.

Now, things were different. So many people were fighting to acknowledge Linley as their master. If he really became the junior of these little fellows…

Then the face of the William family would be completely disgraced by him!

William wanted to cry as he thought of it.

But right at this moment…

Within Linley’s residence, Linley’s room, which had been completely silent this entire time, suddenly began to flash with a golden light that shot up into the sky!

An extremely powerful surge of magic affinity, like a tornado that rose from the ground, rose up from within Linley’s room!

After sensing this terrifying aura, the faces of William and the others changed dramatically!

“This… This… This feeling is…”

“The Eastern Emperor’s Bell!”

“Eastern Emperor Gandalf’s Bell!”

“Where did Linley acquire such a supreme-grade spiritual treasure?!”

William and Bud’s faces both changed, and flashed with indescribable shock!
