Chapter 2442 Do You Dare to Make a Bet?
Lin Chen, under the moonlight, was completely stunned.
After a while, he recovered from the shock and asked again:
"Senior, you not only want to accept me as your disciple, but you also want me to inherit your mantle and become the head of Zongheng? Senior... I think your idea is really weird!
Before you rescued me, you and I had never met each other. The relationship between you and me... should be just a little better than that of strangers.
Moreover, although you said that your first disciple is dead, don’t you still have a second disciple? I once had a hard fight with that second apprentice, and he was much stronger than me. If I hadn't used the last resort, I would have been dealt with by him long ago.
In terms of ability, he is also the best candidate to be the leader of Zongheng, bar none!
In addition, you and that young man are masters and disciples, and you must be cultivating him carefully. The relationship between you... must be much more familiar with you and me.
You don't want to pass it on to your apprentice who has been with you for many years, but you want to pass the position of leader to a stranger who has just been rescued... To be honest, senior, I really can't understand your thoughts and actions! "
After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, Tian Yun burst into laughter.
"Lin Chen, you are really cautious and a person of good character.
If it were someone else standing in front of me, he would have happily agreed...but you looked at this matter with a completely neutral gaze.
People like you...are indeed born for the world! Now, my desire to accept you as my disciple and make you the next generation leader is stronger than ever.
I can’t wait any longer…”
Lin Chen laughed dumbly and said: "Senior, your joke is really too big... Please forgive me..."
Before he finished speaking, Tianyun suddenly looked calm and said seriously:
"Okay, no more nonsense. Do you really think that I insist on accepting you as my disciple without investigating you clearly?
Lin Tianhuan...do you know this person? As your great-grandfather, his relationship with me is pretty good. "But when Lin Chen heard Grandpa's name, he was also shocked. Just as he was about to ask a question, Tian Yun said again: "You don't have to be too surprised. Your great-great-grandfather lived for more than a hundred years and was as famous as Xu Wentian as a top warrior back then. It's just because of the "Tiangang Jue" that my inner strength has been damaged
Lose most of it and your strength will be greatly reduced. But he refused to admit defeat, so by chance, I taught him the Luoyan Body Technique.
He wanted to take me as his teacher, but I said he couldn't. Later, after he learned of your existence, he recommended you to me.
I have been observing you in secret for a long time... In the past two years, my eyes have never left you!
Put it this way, you should understand what kind of long-term investigation I went through before finally making up my mind, right? "
After hearing this, Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, and then complained like a child:
"Since senior has noticed me before, why did he put me in a desperate situation and almost died several times? If I died, wouldn't you be able to accept me as your disciple?"
Tianyun laughed and said: "If you really die in those ordeals, then I will re-evaluate my opinion of you.
Those who have a destiny must go through many hardships. If you can't overcome those life and death hardships through your own efforts, then I don't think you are a qualified candidate for Zongheng disciple.
Moreover, I can also tell you clearly... Before I make up my mind to accept you as my disciple, I will never help you when you encounter any danger!
This is a rule that Zongheng has practiced for many years, and it is also a way to test you. Although it is cruel, only after experiencing it can you prove that you are the best candidate for Zongheng's disciple! "
Lin Chen smiled bitterly and couldn't help but reply:
"When senior said this, I was still a little tempted...but now I have made up my mind.
I don't want to be your apprentice. The reason is also very simple, that is, I think you are very heartless!
Although I can be ruthless sometimes, but I can't be that kind of person. But what about you, senior?
Even though I have been listed as a candidate, you can actually watch me dying... If it were me, I would not be able to do it no matter what.
So, senior... Although I am very grateful for your life-saving grace, we have different opinions and do not seek each other's will. It is best for us not to interact with each other in the future.
As for the two inheritors you mentioned and the shocking crisis that may arise, I will also pay special attention to it. Once those two people do harm to China, I will naturally find a way to deal with them. "
After saying that, Lin Chen also had a firm look in his eyes.
In fact, he didn't have much favorable impression of Tianyun. After Tian Yun explained the process and intentions of accepting him as his disciple, he also felt that he was completely incompatible with this old sect that had been passed down for more than two thousand years.
However.
After Tian Yun heard this, he didn't show any signs of getting angry. He just smiled lightly and said:
"I appreciate your attitude, but that doesn't mean I agree with your approach."
"What do you mean, senior?" Lin Chen's heart tightened, and he secretly thought that this stubborn super strong man wouldn't want to force him to become his disciple, would he?
Just as the thought flashed through his mind, Tianyun pointed at the semicircular building again and said with a smile: "Let's do this. If I force you to be my disciple, I will be said by the world that I bully the small and rely on the strong. Ling Rui. Lin Chen, do you dare to make a bet with me?"
"Bet? What do you want to bet on? How to bet?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
Tianyun pointed at the strange building and smiled again:
"This bet is very simple, as long as you go to the 'turtle shell' now, try it and see if you can open it.
The 'turtle shell' you see is actually a mechanism that contains some kind of strange technique.
When you open it, a passage will appear underneath it. Walking through the passage is an underground secret room. That secret room is filled with all kinds of secrets that I have inherited for more than two thousand years.
The bet between us is whether you can open that 'turtle shell'!
If you can open it, you will be my apprentice! If you can't open it, I will let you leave immediately and I will never cause any embarrassment to you! "
After Lin Chen heard the contents of the gambling game, he also smiled bitterly and said:
"Senior, I am determined not to be your apprentice now, so even if I happen to be able to unlock the mechanism of the turtle shell, I will definitely not do it.
Besides, I don’t know anything about the strange arts. Now I... don’t have any chance to unlock the strange arts on the turtle shell! In other words, the probability that I won’t be your apprentice is quite high! Even so, senior, do you still want to make this bet with me? "
