I Don’t Care What Potential You Have

“Thank you all for coming once again. The auspicious time has come, and the apprenticeship ceremony has officially begun! First, let’s welcome my son’s teacher, White Cloud Temple’s Tier 6 awakener, the top expert, Priest Qin Lingyun!”

Qin Lingyun shook his loose Taoist robe and walked onto the stage unhurriedly. After greeting the guests below the stage, he sat down on the yellow flower chair on his left.

The guests below the stage gave him face and applauded like thunder.

After the applause, everyone started discussing.

“This Taoist priest is really handsome. He isn’t old yet, but he is already a Tier 6 awakener!”

“I’ve read the official introduction. A Tier 6 awakener can release a superpower, and its power is even more terrifying than a missile. If this were in ancient times, people would worship him as a god.”

“Wang Zhiguo is so lucky. His son has the talent of a top awakener. He even found an expert to be his master. His path in the future can be said to be very smooth.”

“White Cloud Temple is the largest Taoist temple in the south. It has many believers.”

Hearing the guests’ comments, Qin Lingyun was happy, but on the surface, he maintained the appearance of an expert. He could only smile.

Wang Zhiguo was much more direct. He grinned, revealing his back teeth.

After Qin Lingyun sat down, Wang Zhiguo sat on the chair to his right.

Wang Yuwei walked up to the stag picked up a cup of tea. He first knelt down to toast his father, then to his master, Qin Lingyun.

Qin Lingyun took the cup and took a sip. He said, “Disciple, no need for formalities.” The horsetail whisk in his hand was like a golden cudgel, constantly lengthening. In the end, it reached under Wang Yuwei’s knees and lifted him up.

This magical ability stunned the guests below the stage, even Ning Shi was speechless. This Priest Qin really liked to show off.

After the ceremony, Wang Zhiguo took out a beautifully wrapped gift box, he said loudly, “Priest Qin, Yuwei is still young and has a mischievous nature. I’ll have to trouble you to teach him in the future. I thank you for your kindness. Here is a small gift. It’s a gemstone that my wife carefully selected to express her gratitude.”

Wang Zhiguo handed the gift box to Wang Yuwei. Wang Yuwei took it and knelt in front of Qin Lingyun. He raised the gift box above his head and presented it as a gift to acknowledge him as his teacher.

Hearing Wang Zhiguo said that the gift was a gemstone, Qin Lingyun was instantly overjoyed. He stretched out his hand and was about to take the gift box.

“Do it!”

With a loud shout, a huge ice spear appeared out of thin air and stabbed at Qin Lingyun. Qin Lingyun had no choice but to give up the gift box and dodge first.

“Darkness descends!”

As the voice fell, the entire Peony Hall fell into extreme darkness. Even with Ning Shi’s abnormal vision, he could not see anything clearly.

He could only rely on his other senses to sense the movements in the hall.

After the hall fell into darkness, all sorts of screams could be heard from the guests. There were also sounds of tables and chairs being knocked over.

There was a series of banging sounds accompanied by the muffled groans of the injured humans. After about ten seconds, the battle ended and the Peony Hall regained its light.

On the stage, a man and a woman were lying on the ground. The man’s head was rolling to the side, and he had already separated from his body. He could not be any more dead. The woman clutched her chest. Her eyes were wide open, and she did not breathe.

Fresh blood stained the red carpet, making it appear even more bright red.

Qin Lingyun’s hair was messy and his face was pale. The battle just now did not seem to be easy either. He tidied up his appearance slightly and said to the frantic guests.

“Everyone, don’t worry. These are two criminals who have awakened. They were killed on the spot by me and my Senior Brother. The darkness just now was a skill released by the dark-type awakeners. Everyone, don’t panic.”

Ning Shi saw the blood on the black-faced Taoist priest’s blade and understood that these two were killed by Qing Yun. From Qin Lingyun’s appearance, he should be a newbie who had never experienced battle.

This kind of person had the ability of a Tier 6 awakener, but he was strong in appearance but weak on the inside. In actual combat, his combat strength was greatly reduced.

After the deaths of the criminals, not only was Uncle Wang Zhiguo not afraid, but he was also relieved. He glanced at Ning Shi as if to show off his wise choice.

“Priest Qin, you and your senior brother are indeed experts. The scum of the Pantheon of Gods is not worth mentioning in front of you.”

Qin Lingyun did not say anything. He found the gift box that was thrown on the stage and put it in his pocket.

“Mr. Wang, the apprenticeship ceremony is over. My senior brother and I will return to the temple first. After the storm passes, I will come back to bring Yuwei up the mountain.”

“Priest Qin, the people of the Pantheon of Gods are all dead. There’s no need to be so anxious.” Wang Zhiguo was somewhat surprised by Qin Lingyun’s reaction. In his opinion, Priest Qin and his senior brother were truly experts, they had killed a powerful heretic in less than ten seconds.

He was worried about the revenge of the Pantheon of Gods, so he didn’t want Priest Qin to leave so quickly.

Qin Lingyun completely ignored Wang Zhiguo and looked at his senior brother.

Priest Qing Yun’s hand shook, and the blood on the tip of the blade disappeared instantly. He put away the blade and said, “Hurry up and leave!”

After he said that, he turned to leave.

Wang Zhiguo was instantly embarrassed. Qin Lingyun’s expression changed too quickly, making one’s heart turn cold.

When Wang Yuwei saw that his master had left, he hurriedly chased after him.

Seeing this situation, Steel Needle, who was hiding behind the pillar in the hall, asked through the microphone on his clothes, “Lord Flame Messenger, the people from White Cloud Temple are leaving. Aren’t we going to make a move?”

“Don’t be impatient. We only have one chance to make a move. The people from the Investigation Department will not be able to hold it in first.”

The Flame Messenger’s words were very effective. Qing Yun had just reached the entrance of the hall when he was stopped by Wang Yunlin and a group of people.

“Priest Qing Yun, you want to leave after killing someone? Do you think our Investigation Department is invisible?”

Seeing Wang Yunlin, Qing Yun, who had always looked relaxed, frowned for the first time. He clenched the steel sword in his hand and said slowly, “We are only defending ourselves. According to the regulations of the awakeners, we did not break the rules.”

A playful smile appeared on Wang Yunlin’s face as he said, “Defending ourselves is only your theory. The Investigation Department only believes the facts that we investigated ourselves. Obediently follow me back to the Investigation Department to cooperate with the investigation.”

Qing Yun’s face was gloomy. The veins on his tanned face were exposed as if they were about to explode at any moment. In the end, he endured it and allowed Zhu Daniu to handcuff him.

Seeing that Zhu Daniu was still going to handcuff his master, Qin Lingyun, Wang Yuwei was anxious. He walked in front of Qin Lingyun and said to Zhu Daniu.

“Captain Zhu, you don’t have any evidence. How can you randomly arrest people?”

Zhu Daniu directly grabbed hold of Wang Yuwei and pushed him to the ground.

After handcuffing Qin Lingyun, Zhu Daniu glared at Wang Yuwei and said.

“You two are a pair of retards. I’ve long been unhappy with you. Hurry up and scram to the side.”

Wang Yuwei was stunned. Ever since he became an awakener and was tested to have an A-level aptitude, the people around him were all praising him. Under this flattery, he really thought of himself as someone important.

He lay on the ground and cried loudly, “I’m an awakener with a lightning-type special ability. I have an A-level aptitude and unlimited potential. I advise you to treat me with respect. You must know that the river flows east for thirty years. Don’t bully the young or the poor. If you anger me, when I grow up in the future, I’ll hang you up and beat you up!”

Ning Shi shook his head when he heard such a stupid statement.

Wang Yunlin laughed and kicked Wang Yuwei’s stomach, sending him flying more than two meters away.

“I don’t care what kind of potential you have. You are just a rookie awakener. How dare you talk nonsense in front of me? I have killed countless awakeners with A-level aptitude!”

Seeing his son being kicked, Wang Zhiguo quickly went to help him. He looked at Qin Lingyun for help but realized that Priest Qin, whom he wanted to rely on, was handcuffed and turned a blind eye to his disciple being beaten up.

Wang Zhiguo recalled how Ning Shi had advised him to follow the officials, and he turned green with regret.

Ning Shi was right. Compared to the officials, White Cloud Temple had no power at all.

He had been blinded by pride. Why did he have to suck up to the White Cloud Temple? Wang Zhiguo felt extremely regretful.

Wang Yuwei was also woken up by the kick. He finally realized that the world of the awakeners was not a child’s game, but a cruel rule of respecting the strong.

There were still more than 200 guests at the scene. They were confused by what had happened today.

It was meant to be a normal apprenticeship ceremony. But yet, awakeners were fighting and killing one another. Then, the officials came to arrest the criminals. Many people had a premonition of danger and wanted to leave.

However, the Investigation Department was blocking the entrance. The leader was a man with scars all over his face. No one dared to move.

Wang Yunlin had no intention of giving way. He stood at the entrance and took out the gift box from Qin Lingyun’s arms.

He opened the gift box and took out the gemstone inside. After carefully examining them, his expression changed.

“This is not the A-level spiritual crystal! Where exactly is the spiritual crystal?”

Following Wang Yunlin’s words, Wang Zhiguo’s entire body seemed to have been grabbed by an invisible hand, hanging in mid-air.

Wang Zhiguo’s hand struggled, and his legs unconsciously swayed. Being grabbed by the hand of air, he couldn’t breathe at all. His face flushed red, and he gradually felt the aura of death.

Ning Shi watched the whole process coldly. He knew that Wang Yunlin wouldn’t kill his uncle. Letting his uncle suffer a little was also good for him.

Sure enough, seeing that Wang Zhiguo was about to suffocate to death, Wang Yunlin removed the hand of air.

“If you don’t want to be tortured, then honestly tell me where the spiritual crystal is.”

Wang Zhiguo fell to the ground with a face full of despair. He had no idea where the spiritual crystal was.

Wang Zhiguo didn’t say a word. The atmosphere at the scene gradually became solemn.

Seeing that Wang Yunlin was about to make another move, Ning Shi stood up.

“I ate the spiritual crystal. It tastes good.”

Ning Shi stood up to speak, but Wang Zhiguo misunderstood. He thought that his nephew was going to cover for him.

He staggered to his feet and shouted, “I told you, we haven’t seen the spiritual crystal. That gemstone was snatched by the people from the Pantheon of Gods!”

“This is your family’s gemstone necklace!” Steel Needle, who had received instructions, took off his disguise and stood up.

He threw the necklace that the trainee had snatched to Wang Yunlin and shrugged.

“Unfortunately, what we snatched is not an A-level spiritual crystal.”

“So where did the A-level spiritual crystal go?”
