Chapter 139: Chapter 139: Have you heard of the Ghost Guard?"Could it be someone sent by Qin Xianzi to protect me?" Ling Chen smiled. Qin Xianzi had promised that there would be no more assassination attempts. Thus, his deduction was reasonable and logical. However, Ling Chen still kept his guard up, constantly keeping an eye on that person. Then, he went for a stroll around the mansion city with Ling Wu, and the person who was following them did not make a move. "Drunk Immortal Tavern?" Ling Chen turned to Ling Wu. "Sure!" Ling Wu’s eyes immediately brightened, and she eagerly nodded. A few days ago, they were invited by Qin Xianzi to a feast, and Ling Wu was still longing for the delicious food and wine of the Drunk Immortal Tavern. After that, the two entered the Drunk Immortal Tavern. As they entered, the man following them did not come in but waited outside. They ordered a table full of delicacies and three pots of Drunken Immortal Brew. After a satisfying meal and drinks, they left contentedly. The man followed them again. "Why not show yourself?" Approaching the True Martial Academy, Ling Chen paused and looked back. "Who is it?" Ling Wu looked confused. She hadn’t sensed anyone following them at all. Hearing that, the man stepped out of the darkness and said to Ling Chen, "What keen perception!" Hearing the man’s words, Ling Chen frowned slightly. If this person were sent by Qin Xianzi, he wouldn’t be so indifferent toward him, would he? He glanced at the man, whose cultivation seemed to be in the late stages of the nine levels of the Spirit Sea Realm. This level of cultivation did not concern Ling Chen. "May I know who you are?" Suspicion rose in Ling Chen’s eyes. "If you wish to know who I am, you’ll have to prove your strength first!" The man spoke. As soon as his words fell, he stepped forward, rushing towards Ling Chen with a golden Spiritual Power palm appearing on his right hand, aiming a forceful strike at Ling Chen. Hearing this, Ling Chen knew that this person might not be someone from the Dark Night. "Ling Wu, step back!" Ling Chen stood in front of Ling Wu to protect her. This person didn’t pose much of a threat to him, but he was a great danger to Ling Wu. He had to ensure her safety. "White Tiger Palm!" Ling Chen gathered black Spiritual Power in his hand, unleashing a high-grade Attack Profound Spirit Technique toward the man’s palm. "Boom!" Their attacks collided fiercely, resulting in a thunderous roar. "Not bad, you’ve even managed to cultivate a high-grade Profound Spirit Technique!" The man nodded slightly. "Now let’s see how your movement technique is?" With that, the man made a move, zipping around to Ling Chen’s side. Now spreading over his body was a green Spiritual Power, significantly faster than before. "Two kinds of Spiritual Powers?" Ling Chen was taken aback. Generally, a cultivator who possesses two different colors of Spiritual Power needs to cultivate two different Spiritual Techniques with distinct attributes. But for most people, Spiritual Power is integrated as one entity, not half golden and half green. Only owners of a Dual Attribute Spiritual Body could achieve this! Does the man in front of him actually have two Spiritual Bodies? Such talent, even within the True Martial Academy, is extremely rare. Dual Attribute Spiritual Body, True Martial Academy, seems to have only one person, Ye Xun from one of the six great clans, the Ye Family. Ling Wu possesses the Ice and Fire Saint Body. Although she can also separate the Ice and Fire Spiritual Power into two different types of spiritual power, it’s still slightly different from a multi-attribute Spiritual Body. Moreover, this person’s second type of spiritual power seems to be the speed-focused Wind Spiritual Power! Despite his surprise, Ling Chen’s footwork didn’t stop, and he quickly executed the superior Body Technique Xuanling Technique to dodge the opponent’s attack. "How can your movement technique be so fast?" Now, that man was surprised. Without using any Spirit Art but relying on his Wind Spiritual Power, a Cultivator at the seventh layer of the Spirit Sea Realm would definitely not be able to surpass him in speed. The superior Body Technique Xuanling Technique that Ling Chen used could not possibly achieve such speed! Little did he know, Ling Chen’s physical speed was already comparable to that of a regular second-layer Spirit Sea Realm; with the addition of the superior Body Technique Heavenly Spirit Technique, reaching such speed was not strange at all. "Do you think I would tell you?" Ling Chen looked at the man and said. The man nodded and replied, "Good lad!" This time, he did not make a move. "With such speed, you indeed qualify to know my identity," the man said to Ling Chen. Ling Chen stared at the man and did not speak. He already had a vague guess in his heart. Possessing multi-attribute spiritual power, and the power seems somewhat weaker than that of a normal Spiritual Body, quite fits the characteristics of artificially created Spiritual Bodies. This man must be the Ghost Guard mentioned by Qin Xianzi! "Have you heard of the Ghost Guard?" the man inquired. "Indeed." Ling Chen was completely certain but still replied, "I don’t know." Hearing this, a mocking look flashed in the man’s eyes. He turned his gaze northward, adopted an incredibly respectful demeanor, and said, "Ghost Guard is the elite Guard Team directly under King Xia of the Great Xia Dynasty!" Watching the man who looked as devout as a believer, Ling Chen’s heart remained undisturbed. If his own special constitution was also bestowed by someone else, he would be equally devout to that person. "You don’t have a Special Body, do you?" the man asked Ling Chen again. "Indeed." Ling Chen nodded. The man glanced at Ling Chen and said, "Actually, I was like you before, without a Special Body. But ever since I joined the Ghost Guard, I have acquired both the Golden and Wind Spirit Bodies!" The golden spiritual power he displayed during his first move was the Golden Spiritual Power. "It was King Xia’s gift that gave me the chance to cultivate to the ninth layer of the Spirit Sea Realm and even hope to touch the Primordial Pill Realm! Otherwise, I might have already been dead by now?" "Ling Chen, your talent in Spirit Arts is excellent, only lacking a Special Body. As long as you join the Ghost Guard, you will definitely become a Dual Attribute Spiritual Body owner!" "So, Ling Chen, would you like to join our Ghost Guard?" The man looked at Ling Chen with a face full of expectation. He thought he empathized with Ling Chen, having experienced the hardships of cultivation without a Special Body. Little did he know, Ling Chen possessed a Sacred Body, which was not something to be compared with any Dual Attribute Spiritual Body! "I’m not willing!" Ling Chen straightforwardly refused: "Even without a Spiritual Body, I can still become one of the top powerhouses of the Great Xia Dynasty!" "Heh!" The man sneered and said, "Ling Chen, you are still too young! Your cultivation should be propped up by elixirs, right? Believe me, it won’t be long before you understand, in this world, talent is more important than effort." "I, the Ghost Guard, never coerce anyone." "If you come around, just crush this Jade Scroll." "I hope it won’t be too late by the time you realize!" The man tossed a Jade Scroll to Ling Chen and then vanished from his sight. "Is that so?" Ling Chen smirked and directly placed the Jade Scroll into his storage ring: "I’m afraid you’re destined for disappointment." This contemptible means of gaining talent by depriving others of their Special Bodies, Ling Chen despises and will not use.
