Chapter 158 - 158 A Gift
"Are you okay, Young Master Clark?!" Elder Feng Ren practically scrambled towards the location of our bored gamer.
All along, he could not hide the extreme surprise that masked his aged countenance at the moment. The speed of Young Master Clark alone had exceeded his expectations.
Elder Feng Ren could say for certain that he could not move as fast as our good gamer just showed to everyone in the scene.
"I should be the one asking you that question, Uncle Ren. You should go and tend to your wound first." Clark replied after he slowly descended into place.
It should be noted that a 9th Stage Mortal Shedding Realm like our Young Master Clark should not have been able to cruise the sky in his leisure.
This was one of the reasons why the audience was shocked in the first place. More so than the speed that he had shown unto everyone when he was busy chasing the skirt of Gu Wenren.
It was indeed a pity that all of them here were not aware that the seemingly arrogant young man in their midst was far and beyond what their simple minds could fathom.
Because in truth, our bored gamer was a True Immortal already!
Even so, the act had yet to finish and Clark has also chosen to play the game accordingly.
"This is only a minor injury, Young Master Clark. No need for you to worry."
Elder Feng Ren grinned and it could be seen at this time that his perspective on our bored gamer has indeed changed drastically.
It appeared like this boy of destiny has more cards still hidden in his sleeves.
If Elder Feng Ren could take one word to describe our Young Master Clark right then that would be nothing else but unfathomable.
The image that he had conjured from the start towards our good gamer was becoming a lot more blurry as Young Master Clark seemed too deep to comprehend by the normal standards of understanding.
As such, this has completely silenced the inner critic within the heart of this Demonic Sword Sect Elder.
Although he had wanted too much to ask how our bored gamer could do the impossible things he could, Elder Feng Ren had wisely kept his mouth shut in the end.
Sometimes it was better to let one's curiosity fade away rather than to satisfy such queries that could possibly have unwanted consequences.
"That is good then. Is anyone else hurt?" Clark asked and began walking back to where his party was. This action also woke up the astounded Elder Chang Tu into motion.
"No one is hurt, Young Master Clark! There was only superficial damage in the Training Hall. Other than that, everyone is unharmed."
Elder Chang Tu reported and it was as clear as day that he may have been giving a huge understatement to the current condition of his domain but nonetheless, it showcased the cleverness of an old expert in the Head of the Outer Disciples Court.
"Hmmm... Then I don't need to waste my time in here any more." Our bored gamer nodded and sat in a lotus position in the dusty floors.
There were bits and pieces of debris all over the place but he could care less for the state of his surroundings at the moment.
Since meeting with the enchanting Gu Wenren had given him what he needed already, our bored gamer has chosen to move on to his next set of plans.
Without another word spoken, he transferred a million spirit stones from the storage ring that he got from Gu Wenren and put it on another empty interspatial ring.
After this was done, he did the same thing he had done in the past.
"..." Everyone gulped when they witnessed how our bored gamer swallowed yet another storage ring down his throat.
A terrible silence occurred as all of them were too afraid to disturb the refining process that was happening inside the body of Young Master Clark.
And a few breaths later, a familiar event happened before everyone's eyes.
"BANG!" A great explosion of power surged from the physique of our bored gamer.
The change has been so huge that they could see the body of Young Master Clark almost doubled in size and frame.
His skin was stretched to its limit and the muscular veins almost popped out to handle the strain of acquiring this new power.
The grotesque transformation occurred for at least 60 breaths before it finally subsided in full.
The big oversized muscles and monstrous form was discarded at this time and our bored gamer returned to his normal shape once again.
It was also at this moment that Clark opened his eyes to meet the gazes of his speechless audience.
"Well, that was easy." Our avid gamer smiled and stood to search for his Dao Protectors. It did not take long for him to find them and so he added a final word to these great uncles...
"Done, my dear uncles. I don't need to cultivate again, yes?" Clark nodded to the two and began traversing his way back into his residence.
He arrived in here at the 9th Stage of Mortal Shedding Realm but has left already in the 10th and Peak Stage of the same Cultivation Realm.
This kind of cultivating was absolutely unheard of!
Wan Fei and the rest followed thereafter and it would be a long long time before anyone could speak and move from the Training Hall.
And when one soul finally could think soundly one more, he only had a single commandment to his servant slaves.
"You did not see nor did you hear anything today. Do you all get my point?" It was of course Elder Chang Tu who addressed his people inside.
Although Young Master Clark appeared so powerful right now but that did not mean that he was infallible already.
This wise Elder did not want for this news to come out because brilliance always invited the envy of most.
"Yes, master!" The people remaining around bowed low as they realized the implication of Elder Chang Tu's instructions.
* * *
"Ahhhh... Nothing really beats an epic RPG done well." Clark sighed after he tried playing a game that could only be seen in the future.
There were lots of classes to pick from and the setting was an open world where he could choose whatever he wanted to be within the confines of the game.
It did not help also that the gameplay was set on a virtual reality and that was why it was easy to be lost within the game for hours and hours without end. Alas, all good things had to end.
"It's dinner time already. I should go downstairs and eat with my family in this xianxia world." Our good gamer muttered and did exactly as he intended.
Even if Lai Peng, Wan Fei and the rest were really not his true family but such distinctions did not matter at all when they would be together for trillions and trillions of years.
"But before that, i need to give them a present." Clark grinned as he counted his find for today. The storage ring of Sect Master Gu Chun had contained lots of treasures.
There were graded weapons, armors, rare ancient pill recipes, and a mountain of spirit stones for him to use.
Although these things could only be considered trash in his eyes but the same could not be said to the people that were already close to his heart.
"Xinyue, come." Clark called and although his voice was small and weak, what dropped on Tang Xinyue's ears was a whole lot different.
"BANG!" The double doors opened as an angry tigress charged it with a merciless shove.
"Why do you have to shout that loud?! Is there a need for that at all!" Tang Xinyue asked in annoyance.
She has heard what happened today from the lips of Princess Ning Xi herself and could not help but be amazed once more at the myriad abilities of Lu Chen.
She did not know what fortune her old lover had stumbled unto and she was also not willing to ask again but no matter how spectacular Lu Chen would become in the future, that alone could not melt the frozen hate in her heart.
"You look as beautiful as ever, Xinyue." Clark praised.
"Can't i just call you because i miss seeing your lovely angelic face?" Our bored gamer added after a beat.
"If I hear you say any more rubbish from your mouth, I will leave you behind and go out to p..."
Tang Xinyue threatened as she most definitely did not want to get any love or fake compliment to come from Lu Chen. But how could our good gamer miss this fact?
"Call Lai Peng, Wan Fei and Ning Xi for me." Clark had chosen to interrupt before Tang Xinyue could ever have the hope of finishing what she wanted to say.
"Hmmmp!" Tang Xinyue did not say anything else in response but only wordlessly followed the bidding of our bored gamer.
She knew that she would only be wasting her breath and so left without ado in heavy furious steps.
