Chapter 17 - 17 Do You Know Genius?Ling Chen remained indifferent. How he cultivates is certainly not up for a ninth level Qi Condensation practitioner to dictate. He had already decided, if the Law Enforcement Team comes again, he would have Xiao Wu wake him up. Ling Xiao continued, "Alright, we came today to investigate some matters. Someone accused you of secretly learning the Spirit Art, Thunder Sound Fist. We went to the Spirit Hall to investigate, and you did visit the Spirit Hall four days ago, but the art you borrowed was the low-grade Attack Spiritual Technique, Burst Step. What explanation do you have?" Upon hearing this, Ling Chen understood. The accuser must undoubtedly be Ling Fei. The family encourages the younger generation to compete, so he couldn't use that excuse against him, thus he thought of the accusation of stealing Spirit Arts. Stealing Spirit Arts is a major taboo in the clan. If truly caught, the punishment is no minor matter. It might even ruin one's cultivation! This method was indeed very malicious. However, Ling Chen wasn't really afraid. To pin the charge of stealing Spirit Arts on him, wouldn't they need evidence? "I did not steal the Thunder Sound Fist." Ling Chen calmly stated. Ling Xiao nodded and asked, "Alright then, can you perform the Thunder Sound Fist?" "Yes." Ling Chen nodded in acknowledgment. "Then where did you learn it from?" Ling Xiao pressed further. Actually, he was very curious inside. The conflict between Ling Chen and Ling Fei happened four days ago, meaning Ling Chen had learned the Thunder Sound Fist within four days after his awakening. It's known that, although Thunder Sound Fist is a low-grade Spirit Art, it's not that easy to master. Ordinary people take dozens of days to grasp it, only some geniuses can master it within a few days. Ling Chen did not answer Ling Xiao directly but smiled, "Officer Xiao, do you know there's a type of person called a genius?" "Of course, what do you mean by that?" Ling Xiao furrowed his brows. With a slight smile, Ling Chen said, "Since you know, then you should also be aware that I entered the Spirit Hall five days ago. Each entry to the Spirit Hall allowed two hours to select Spirit Arts. Sorry to say, but I learned the Thunder Sound Fist during that time!" Regarding what constitutes stealth learning, it generally refers to pilfering the Spirit Art to cultivate. However, his case, at most, could be considered as openly learning! "This is impossible!" Ling Xiao's mouth opened wide, filled with disbelief. Even Ling Chen's father, that supremely talented individual with a Fire Spirit Body, couldn't learn a Spirit Art in just two hours, even if it was a Spirit Art. Not to mention, Ling Chen who only possesses a five-star cultivation talent. With a slight smile, Ling Chen said, "Please do not judge everyone by your own limitations. Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't!" In his words, there was a trace of pride. "Spirit Art?" "Spirit Hall?" "Learn a Spirit Art in two hours?" ... This series of shocking revelations rang in Ling Wu's ears. She merely thought that Ling Chen had just advanced to the first level of Qi Condensation, but unexpectedly, the young master had already advanced to the third level of Qi Condensation and had learned an enviable Spirit Art? Besides Ling Xiao, the five members of the Law Enforcement Team were also too shocked to speak. "I don't believe it." After a long silence, Ling Xiao finally spoke. This was just too incredible, after all, it involved Spirit Arts! How could it sound so easy, as if chopping vegetables, when Ling Chen mentioned it? "Then watch closely!" Ling Chen gave a slight smile. Spiritual Power surged into his right leg, his right foot stomped fiercely, and a sound resembling thunder exploded beneath his foot. Then, Ling Chen's body appeared like a specter right in front of Ling Xiao. "Burst Step?" Ling Xiao immediately recognized it. This low-grade movement technique Spirit Art was quite popular, and he had trained in it before. Moreover, movement technique Spirit Arts are more difficult to cultivate than attack Spirit Arts, demonstrating just how astonishing Ling Chen's talent in Spirit Arts really is! "Correct." Ling Chen nodded and smiled, "This Spirit Art was borrowed from the Spirit Hall." Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao still hesitated and said, "Ling Chen, I understand the difficulty of cultivating Body Technique Spirit Arts. However, to succeed in cultivating a low-grade Spirit Art within two hours, I still find it hard to believe. Even if I don't pursue it further, it might be hard to convince everyone." The duty of the Law Enforcement Team is not to punish, but to deliver a fair judgment. "What would you suggest?" Ling Chen frowned. Ling Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Why don't you come with me to the Spirit Hall?" "Alright." Ling Chen nodded. Soon, a group of nine arrived at the Spirit Hall. Six from the Law Enforcement Team, two being Ling Chen and Ling Wu, and the last one being Ling Fei, the accuser. On the way over, Ling Xiao had Ling Fei called over. With the family's Healing Medicine, Ling Fei's injuries were already no cause for concern. When he saw the Law Enforcement Team bringing Ling Chen, thinking the Law Enforcement Team had clarified the matter and Ling Chen was here to hand over the Spirit Art, He didn't expect that Ling Chen would outright deny it. He even proclaimed himself a genius, claiming to learn a low-grade Spirit Art in just two hours. "I'd like to see how you're going to explain this." Ling Fei was incredibly smug. Ling Chen's explanation was simply ludicrous, learning a low-grade Spirit Art in two hours, why don't you just ascend to the heavens? Although secretly learning a low-grade Spirit Art wouldn't ruin Ling Chen's cultivation, punishment was inevitable. "Hall Master, I am Ling Xiao, captain of the Alpha Team of the Punishment Hall's Law Enforcement Team. Sent by Hall Master Lei, I came to thoroughly investigate the matter of Ling Chen's unauthorized learning of the Spirit Art. May I ask the hall master for assistance?" Ling Xiao spoke loudly at the entrance of the Spirit Hall. "Cut the crap, I am watching over this place, who would dare to steal a Spirit Art? Are you trying to defame me as unworthy of being the master of the Spirit Hall?" A curse came from deep within the Spirit Hall. "Ling Xiao dares not, it's by Hall Master Lei's orders, I can't defy it, I only ask for the hall master's help, to clear your name as well." Ling Xiao hastily said. "Hmph! Even if little Lei himself came, he wouldn't dare to speak to me with this tone." The Spirit Palace Master spoke coldly. The 'little Lei' he referred to was the Punishment Hall Master, Ling Tianlei. Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao gave a bitter smile. In terms of seniority, Hall Master Lei would still have to call the Spirit Palace Master 'uncle'. Even if the Spirit Palace Master really didn't cooperate, he truly had no recourse. "Hey, wait, who did you say was secretly learning a Spirit Art?" Suddenly, an old man with white hair appeared, looking at Ling Xiao. "Ling Chen." Ling Xiao was shocked. What's going on, why did the master's attitude change so drastically upon hearing Ling Chen? The white-haired old man seemed curious and asked, "What Spirit Art did he learn?" "Thunder Sound Fist." Ling Xiao replied. "Oh." The White-haired old man nodded. He had seen Ling Chen walking around in the inner hall before and found it peculiar. Just now, hearing about the secret learning of the Spirit Art, he seemed to understand something. "Master." Ling Chen merely saluted the white-haired old man. The white-haired old man nodded and looked at Ling Xiao, "Tell me, how can I assist you?" "It went like this..." Ling Xiao recounted the events. Searᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "He learned Thunder Sound Fist in two hours?" The white-haired old man was also stunned. Such a Cultivation Speed in Spirit Arts seemed even beyond Ling Tianxing's reach. Moreover, recalling the past, Ling Chen's actual time spent in front of the Thunder Sound Fist Spirit Art was not long, quite the contrary, it was startling. Initially, he thought Ling Chen was excited seeing the Spirit Art for the first time. Now, it seems it wasn't as simple as he thought!
