18 Chapter 17 : Prohibited
After assessing the pros and cons, Lin Fan decided to become Meng Shenji's apprentice. That way, he could obtain sufficient wealth to speed up his cultivation. On top of that, he had a problem he had to solve, which was to heal his mother.
With a smile, Lin Fan said, "O-".
BOOM!
Before Lin Fan could continue speaking, he heard a huge explosion in his mind!
The explosion was accompanied by an unusually wild pain throughout his body, even the pain made his soul tremble violently. And the pain was like being ripped to shreds by thousands of swords striking his body and soul.
Lin Fan himself couldn't move like a statue, he couldn't even scream. And strangely enough, even though he felt excruciating pain, his body didn't budge in the slightest!
`Uwaaaaahhhh!`
Lin Fan could only scream in his mind.
He tried to move his body, but he felt like a heavy weight had fallen on him. Moreover, he couldn't even use the Heavens Path Divine Art to relieve the pain he was feeling.
Lin Fan was like being tortured from the inside and outside, even this torture lasted up to 1 hour!
An hour later, the pain finally started to subside.
`What was that?!`
He was very scared, because the pain had struck suddenly.
After the pain started to dissipate, Lin Fan discovered a strange phenomenon. Where all movement before his eyes had stopped, as if time had stopped!
An example would be Meng Shenji who was still standing smiling at him without any change in position for the past hour!
`This! Has time stopped?!` thought Lin Fan.
And suddenly Lin Fan's consciousness entered the Library of Heavens Path, there he saw a Golden Page floating in the middle of the library!
Inside the page was an inscription that gave off a terrifying aura!
Inside it reads: There is no sky above oneself.
HONG~
Reading the text gave Lin Fan an enlightenment, which made him understand why he was feeling the pain earlier. Because, the pain was like a warning to Lin Fan from the Library of Heavens Path.
Lin Fan realized that the Library of Heavens Path would not allow himself to have a teacher, because he himself was the master of all teachers!
Master Teacher!
`Being a Master Teacher, must learn all the secrets of heaven by oneself`.
As part of the power of the Heavens, the Library of Heavens Path possessed extremely powerful Karma. What makes this Karma no one can match.
No wonder, the Library of Heavens Path did not let Lin Fan have a teacher, because it would affect the Karma of the Library of Heavens Path.
`Looks like I shouldn't have a teacher` thought Lin Fan.
Realizing this, Lin Fan's consciousness returned to the real world. There, the time that had stopped finally started moving again.
"How? Are you willing?" said the hopeful Meng Shenji.
Looking at Meng Shenji, and without further ado, Lin Fan immediately rejected him.
"I'm sorry Headmaster, it seems I can't be your disciple yet" said Lin Fan.
Hearing Lin Fan's words, Meng Shenji was confused. Even he felt that he had heard wrong.
"What did you say just now? I don't think I heard it," said Meng Shenji, unsure.
"I'm sorry, I can't be your disciple yet" said Lin Fan again.
HONG~
Hearing Lin Fan's words this time made Meng Shenji's face look confused and accompanied by a look of surprise. Because, the offer to become his disciple had been turned down!
As a Spirit Douluo, making someone his disciple should be an easy thing. In fact, many people are vying to be his student.
However, he didn't expect that a child would refuse him to be his teacher! And that too comes from the descendants of ordinary people!
How did it happen?!
"Why?! I am a Spirit Douluo! An existence that has almost reached the pinnacle of Spirit Master!" shouted Meng Shenji hysterically.
Meng Shenji himself really wanted to make Lin Fan his disciple, because Lin Fan's Spirit matched all the knowledge he had.
Moreover, Lin Fan did not come from a noble family in the Empire, making him very safe when he became his disciple.
Because, if a noble became his disciple, it would change the power in the Heaven Dou Empire!
Meng Shenji thought, was it because Lin Fan was still a kid? Who didn't know how important a Spirit Douluo was?
"Child, tell me, what is the reason you refuse my offer?" asked Meng Shenji.
`Uh.. What answer should I use?` thought Lin Fan.
Meng Shenji's question turned out to be quite confusing for Lin Fan to answer, because it was impossible for him to reveal the secret.
`Let me think, let me think... Oh! I can use that excuse!`
"I'm sorry, Headmaster. Actually, I already have a teacher, he even taught me how to cultivate" said Lin Fan.
Have a Master. This is the only reason that Lin Fan can use. Yet this reasoning made sense to him, as the Library of Heavens Path itself could be said to be his teacher!
Hearing Lin Fan's answer, Meng Shenji deeply regretted it.
"Oh, what a pity, what a pity!" said Meng Shenji.
Even though Douluo Dalu was not very familiar with cultivation techniques, someone at Meng Shenji's level definitely had his own cultivation techniques, even though those techniques were very crude and full of mistakes.
Meng Shenji also already knew the rules of cultivation, whereby one could not arbitrarily change one's cultivation technique. Because, it will have a bad impact on cultivation in the future, it can even damage the entire foundation that has been built.
Even though Meng Shenji guaranteed that changing the cultivation technique on Lin Fan would not have such a big bad impact, still he didn't want to take someone else's disciple.
Meng Shenji also deeply regretted Lin Fan's talent, because to him, only he could make his talent reach its peak. Because he thought that Lin Fan's master had a cultivation below him.
But who would have thought, Meng Shenji's disappointment was shocked by Lin Fan's next words.
"Uh.. Headmaster, do you feel that every time you cultivate will give you pain in your head?" Lin Fan said.
"Huh? How did you find out?" said Meng Shenji.
