The Obedient Good Apprentice

If anyone else without a background had said such words,

Ye Xing would have already slapped them across the face.

Although he was considered trash within the Ye family,

he was not someone an ordinary person could mock.

Unfortunately, the one he was facing now was Chen Feng, so he could only suppress the fury in his heart.

With a smile on his face, he said:

"You flatter me, Mr. Chen Feng."

"Compared to you, Mr. Chen Feng, I am but an ant."

"I truly dare not accept the title of 'prodigy'."

Chen Feng nodded inwardly.

Modest and polite!

Much better than his first disciple.

After the simple interview,

Chen Feng, based on his own experience and life wisdom,

believed he had roughly gauged the other's character.

Ye Xing had passed his assessment.

"I happen to have a cultivation technique here that is particularly suited for you."

"Are you willing to become my disciple?"

Everyone was stunned.

None of them had expected Chen Feng to want to take Ye Xing as his disciple.

What kind of twist was this?

The two elders snapped back to reality immediately.

As long as it pleased Chen Feng, having a family junior become his disciple was no big deal.

If it made Chen Feng happy, taking on a few more disciples was fine.

Moreover, they also coveted Chen Feng's techniques.

It was just that Chen Feng choosing Ye Xing, this good-for-nothing, was rather inappropriate.

One elder hurriedly said:

"Mr. Chen Feng, if you wish to take a disciple, you could take these two young ladies."

"They dream of becoming your disciples."

"Their aptitude is better; both have martial roots above the intermediate level."

The two beautiful women

immediately secretly took a deep breath and straightened their posture.

Chen Feng gave a dry cough, thinking to himself:

"What kind of person do they take me for?"

Outwardly, he chuckled and said:

"It's not that I won't take them as disciples, but my technique is special and only suitable for Ye Xing to cultivate."

"As long as Ye Xing becomes my disciple, I promise you won't be disappointed in the future."

The two elders looked at each other.

In the end, they could only concede.

For them, as long as Chen Feng was happy,

even if he wanted to take the two old men as disciples, it wouldn't be a big deal.

As long as they could securely tie Chen Feng to the Ye family's ship.

An elder immediately barked at Ye Xing:

"Ye Xing, Mr. Chen Feng thinks so highly of you and wants to take you as his disciple."

"Aren't you going to kneel down quickly, kowtow, and formally acknowledge your master!"

Ye Xing's expression turned somewhat ugly.

But he dared not disobey the words of the family elders.

He could only grit his teeth and kneel down in humiliation, bowing to acknowledge as master someone younger than himself.

"Your disciple, Ye Xing, pays his respects to Master!"

A prompt immediately sounded in Chen Feng's mind.

[Disciple successfully accepted.]

[Acquired technique: "Indestructible Golden Body".]

[Note! As soon as the disciple masters the basics of Indestructible Golden Body, the master's comprehension of the technique will be elevated to the realm of Heavenly Unity.]

Success!

Chen Feng hurried forward to help Ye Xing up.

"No need for such formalities, just calling me Master is enough."

"What's with the kowtowing! It's awkward!"

Ye Xing gritted his teeth. As an adult,

he forcibly controlled his facial expression.

Managing to put on a smile.

An elder nearby quickly chimed in with a laugh:

"Perfect. Consider the gifts we brought today as the formal apprenticeship presents."

"Ye Xing, you must study diligently with Mr. Chen Feng from now on. Do not slack off."

"If you fail Mr. Chen Feng's teachings, the family will not let you off."

Ye Xing hurriedly nodded with an awkward smile.

"I will study hard."

"I'll do whatever Master says."

The family elder's meaning was simple.

If he dared to make Chen Feng unhappy...

He would no longer have a place to stand within the family.

Chen Feng nodded.

He was increasingly satisfied with Ye Xing.

"What a good disciple."

After the other five members of the Ye family took their leave,

Chen Feng called Ye Xing to the garden and eagerly began his instruction.

Although Ye Xing felt deeply humiliated inside,

he didn't dare show the slightest hint of it on his face.

He could only follow Chen Feng's whims,

allowing the other man to do as he pleased.

For the sake of his future in the family,

even if Chen Feng was a pervert, he could only grit his teeth and submit.

Otherwise, if he made Chen Feng unhappy and ruined the family's important affairs,

the consequences would be absolutely unbearable for him.

Chen Feng, at this moment, was unaware of what his new disciple was thinking.

He only wanted to quickly teach Ye Xing the Invincible Golden Body technique,

so he could then enter the Kunlun Mountains to investigate news of Zhang Bowen.

Chen Feng demonstrated the basic defensive stance to Ye Xing while explaining:

"The technique I'm teaching you is called the Invincible Golden Body."

"It is a purely defensive technique."

"If you can master it, almost no one at your same level will be able to harm you."

Hearing Chen Feng's explanation, Ye Xing couldn't help but feel shocked inwardly.

"No one at the same level can harm you?"

"Is that true or false?"

"Even my Ye family's Indestructible Diamond Body technique wouldn't dare make such a boast."

Ye Xing believed

that in this world, when it came purely to defensive power, no martial art could possibly compare to the Indestructible Diamond Body.

He thought Chen Feng was just bragging.

Especially when he saw Chen Feng holding that horse-stance posture, which looked utterly ridiculous.

A vein on his forehead twitched involuntarily.

But Ye Xing endured it.

He imitated the posture, setting his stance.

He settled into a horse stance, squared his shoulders, clenched his fists, and held his arms out to the sides.

He looked like a complete fool.

Then, following Chen Feng, he recited the formula while circulating his internal energy along the prescribed pathways.

At this moment, Ye Xing was cringing so hard he could dig a hole with his toes.

However, after practicing a few times with Chen Feng,

he actually managed to generate a layer of protective energy around his body.

It felt like the defensive power was passable,

but it was clearly inferior to the Indestructible Diamond Body.

Ye Xing was disdainful.

"Is this what you call absolute defense, invincible at the same level?"

He felt this defensive energy technique was very similar to a technique called the Golden Bell Shield.

The Golden Bell Shield was only an Earth-tier technique.

Ye Xing truly looked down on it.

But in front of Chen Feng, he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction.

Chen Feng taught tirelessly for three days.

Finally, Ye Xing achieved the entry-level of the Invincible Golden Body.

He could now independently and smoothly execute the Invincible Golden Body.

[Disciple's Invincible Golden Body has reached the entry-level, master achievement completed.]

[Reward: Master's Invincible Golden Body realm upgraded to the unity of heaven and man.]

After receiving the prompt,

Chen Feng nodded with satisfaction.

These past few days, he had been very pleased with Ye Xing's performance.

Although Ye Xing was over a decade older than his master,

he had been remarkably obedient during the learning process.

Among Chen Feng's disciples,

aside from Liu Weiwei, Ye Xing was the most compliant.

"Very good!"

“Ye Xing, your Invincible Golden Body has reached the entry-level.”

"You can return home and practice on your own; you don't need to follow me for lessons every day."

"If you have any questions in the future, you can come find me anytime."

Ye Xing's heart leapt with joy.

He could finally go home.

As for this foolish technique,

only an idiot would practice it.

Still, he couldn't help but note with some exclamation.

The time it took him to reach the entry level of the Invincible Golden Body was several times faster than for the Indestructible Diamond Body.

and over ten times faster than for the Nine Yin Manual.

Could it be that he was more suited to these low-level techniques?

Ye Xing refused to entertain such a thought.

As a member of one of the Seven Great Families, if he were to take action in the future and rely on a mere Profound-grade technique for defense, it would be utterly laughable.

Moreover, the defensive stance of the Indestructible Golden Body was truly... difficult to describe. It was simply an eyesore.

Planting his feet in a horse stance and standing there, he would look like a complete fool.

Ye Xing swore he would never use this technique in front of others.

Yet, the moment he returned to the Ye Family,

that vow was broken.
