Godslayer: I, the agent of the God of Drama, am here to begin the show.

At this moment, there was no confusion or bewilderment in Master Chen's eyes, only gratitude for his good teammate's divine assistance.

He's still an official after all.

That's a skillful way of speaking.

Master Chen was thinking of having Lin Ze acknowledge him as his master.

However, he also understood that such things should not be rushed, as being too hasty would not be a good thing.

Anyway, Lin Ze has now stayed in his fasting place.

There will be plenty of opportunities to talk about this later.

But if you get anxious and trigger Lin Ze's rebellious side, it will backfire.

The apprentice I finally managed to get is gone.

Therefore, Master Chen's idea was to first stabilize the situation.

But Ye Fan didn't care about any of that.

It's better to decide on these things first.

Having worked with Master Chen for so long, he knew what kind of person Master Chen was.

He's the kind of person who's passionate inside but cold on the outside.

The old man had a lot of emotions inside, but he never expressed them verbally.

She always seemed cold and indifferent, as if she didn't care about anything.

But Ye Fan knew that Master Chen's true feelings were not like that.

Just like my relationship with Li Keyong.

He did care about him, but after all these years, Master Chen hadn't said a single word to Li Keyong.

From an outsider's perspective, Master Chen was a cold and ruthless teacher.

But only Ye Fan knew how many times Master Chen had hinted to him that Li Keyong should not undertake dangerous missions. Almost every time Li Keyong took a mission, Master Chen would inquire about it.

Ye Fan wanted to tell Li Keyong about this, but Master Chen explicitly forbade it.

He said, "If you dare to say it, I dare to join the Church of the Ancient Gods!"

Church of the Ancient Gods: "Huh? Is that so?"

Since Master Chen had already said that, Ye Fan couldn't say anything more.

Let them handle their relationship as master and disciple.

This is something I can't worry about myself.

Ultimately, if it weren't for me, their relationship might not have turned out this way.

Ye Fan's reason for helping Master Chen take in Lin Ze as his disciple was partly to cultivate a powerful tool for the Great Xia Dynasty.

On the one hand, it was also to compensate Master Chen.

To make up for the time he "stole her away" years ago.

He had to give him a push; if Master Chen were left to develop on his own, he might never have spoken up.

That's just his personality.

To save face.

Lin Ze was very perceptive; he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

To become an apprentice and learn a skill.

The apprenticeship should precede the learning of skills.

So Lin Ze immediately performed a formal apprenticeship ceremony for Lin Ze!

"This junior, Lin Ze, had the honor of meeting Master during the Divine Battle of Cangnan City. I have long heard of Master's decades-long dedication to guarding the borders and protecting the common people, his cultivation reaching the heavens yet his heart filled with compassion. Though I am of dull talent, I am devoted to the Dao and yearn to learn Master's Inner Realm Divine Power, so that one day I may wield my sword to defend our land and share your burdens. I humbly beg Master not to reject me and to accept me as your disciple. This junior will certainly go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Lin Ze spoke each word with force and conviction.

Every word and every punctuation mark contains the emotions deep within one's heart.

When Lin Ze said these words, he did not use the God of Drama's abilities to deliberately deceive Master Chen.

That's really what he was thinking.

Ye Fan said that Master Chen was a rather traditional person, as was Lin Ze.

He greatly admired the master-disciple relationship of ancient times.

The master devoted all his knowledge to teaching his apprentice.

The apprentice spent the rest of his life fulfilling his master's unfinished wish.

The two are not father and son, but their relationship is even closer than that of father and son!

Master Chen was stunned when he heard these words.

He hadn't expected Lin Ze to agree so readily.

Master Chen felt that Lin Ze might not refuse, but he definitely wouldn't do it so readily.

But the result was beyond his expectations.

Lin Ze was not only straightforward, but also very sincere!

Holding a sword to guard the mountains and rivers...

Master Chen silently recited Lin Ze's apprenticeship speech in his mind.

It's no exaggeration to say that he wanted to remember this passage and savor it carefully.

That's so damn well said!

Ye Fan's eyes held no admiration for Lin Ze, only regret.

Depend on!

Ye Fan, what exactly did you do?

How could you give up such a good apprentice!

Regret?

I regret it!

Ye Fan took dozens of deep breaths to calm himself down.

He comforted himself with this thought, "It's okay, it's okay."

"Ye Fan, calm down."

"Lin Ze will become your apprentice sooner or later."

"Whether it's Master Chen or anyone else, they are all training your apprentices."

In the end, Lin Ze will still come back to you!

In this way, Ye Fan successfully calmed down by using this self-PUA method.

To be honest, sometimes the "spiritual victory" method can be quite useful.

At this moment, Master Chen finally came to his senses.

He said "okay, okay" several times in a row, and finally took out a teapot from his inner vision.

Before the purple clay teapot even appeared in front of them, the aroma from inside the teapot already lingered around their noses.

In that instant, it felt as if you were on a forest path after the rain, with cicadas chirping and streams flowing in your ears, and the fragrance of flowers and the smell of earth in your nose.

The aroma alone is intoxicating!

Lin Ze was still immersed in this wonderful feeling, but Ye Fan was the first to react.

He stared incredulously at the teapot in Master Chen's hand.

"ah?!"

"You actually brought out this pot of tea?"

"I thought you were going to take this with you."

Master Chen rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "Go away, go away. Don't say such discouraging things on such a joyous day."

"If you say that again, I won't let you smell the tea at all."

Ye Fan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly waved his hand, "Pah, pah, pah, what I just said doesn't count."

"Master, is this alright now?"

"Do you think I could benefit from your protégé's fame?"

Upon hearing the words "beloved disciple," Master Chen couldn't help but smile.

"Alright, since you've come to your senses, I'll give you a cup in a bit."

At this moment, Lin Ze also came to his senses.

He couldn't understand why Ye Fan was acting this way.

Just for a cup of tea?

While this tea is indeed quite magical, it doesn't have to be this bad, does it?

Surely a commander-in-chief can't be so poor that he can't even afford a cup of tea?

Lin Ze asked weakly, "Um, I'd like to ask, what exactly is the origin of this tea?"

Why did I have that feeling just now?

"This doesn't seem like a psychological attack, because my defenses didn't react at all."

At this moment, Master Chen proudly stroked his beard.

He gestured with his chin at Ye Fan, "Why don't you explain this to my beloved disciple?"

At this point, some people might ask:

Why did Master Chen let Ye Fan speak at such a pretentious moment?

It would be pretentious to say it yourself.

However, the attempt was too low-class.

Because these words came from your own mouth, even if it really has some magical effects, no one will believe it if you say it.

But if it comes from someone else's mouth, then it's a different story.

There's a kind of showing off called, the subtle showing off!

That's the purpose of having Ye Fan say those words now.

There are some things you can't say yourself; you need to let someone else do them.

However, when others say this, it only plays a supporting role.

The real way to show off is to come to the place yourself.

Ye Fan stared longingly at the pot of tea, "You never give me any of this stuff when I ask you for it."

"You've only known your little apprentice for a short time, and you're already pulling out this most treasured item?"

"No, all things considered, you two haven't even known each other for three to five days, have you?"

"Master, is the bond you've formed in these few days truly more precious than the decades of camaraderie we've shared in battle?"

Master Chen rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. "Go away, don't talk nonsense to me here."

"This stuff, let alone you, even I wouldn't want to drink it."

"This isn't the time to talk about this. Quickly explain it to my beloved student; can't you see he still doesn't know what's going on?"

Master Chen looked at Lin Ze, who was standing beside him with a somewhat confused look in his eyes.

He seemed to be thinking to himself, "It's just some tea leaves, what's the big deal?"

Master Chen couldn't allow himself to leave such an impression on his disciples.

Therefore, I must quickly regain my noble image!

Ye Fan was very perceptive; he knew what Master Chen wanted.

So he cleared his throat and said, "Lin Ze, I know you might not understand what we're saying."

"But that's normal, because the world is so big, there are bound to be things you don't know."

"Don't think this is just a pot of tea, actually it..."

Ye Fan deliberately left Lin Ze hanging halfway through his sentence.

Lin Ze scratched his head. "Actually, he... really is just a pot of tea?"

Lin Ze couldn't think of any other answer besides this one.

At most, this teapot is a forbidden item, which might slightly benefit the tea leaves inside.

But is it really necessary for these two top-tier humans to treat each other with such an attitude?

Lin Ze still couldn't quite understand it.

Ye Fan chuckled lightly, "Hahaha, of course he couldn't just be a pot of tea."

"Its effects are far more powerful than you imagine!"

"This is the career path that countless people dream of!"

The path to promotion?

In the God-Slaying combat power system, from highest to lowest, they are: Lamp Realm, Pool Realm, River Realm, Sea Realm, Boundless Realm, and Klein Realm.

There are six realms in total. To reach the first four realms, you only need a decent Forbidden Ruins and some regular effort, and you can basically achieve them.

It's something that anyone with a little talent can reach this level.

The sea realm is practically the ceiling for ordinary people.

If you want to advance further, it's not as simple as just working hard and having a high-ranking forbidden area.

Once you reach the Sea Realm, you'll find that all your hard work and talent, which you're so proud of, are utterly insignificant at this stage.

Genius is just an admission ticket here.

Many people get stuck at this level and can't seem to advance any further in their entire lives.

To break through to the Boundless Realm, one needs a certain opportunity.

Breaking through the Klein realm is even more so; the higher you go, the more demanding the requirements become.

Ye Fan just said that it's a path to promotion for many people?

That means that just this one pot of tea can help many people advance to the Boundless Realm, or even the Klein Realm?!

It's important to understand that, globally speaking, even those at the Sea Realm are considered high-end combat forces, let alone those at the Boundless Realm and the Klein Realm.

If this pot of tea is really as magical as Ye Fan said.

They could then cultivate a large number of promising Sea Realm and Boundless Realm cultivators and raise their cultivation levels.

This will greatly enhance the overall strength of the Great Xia Dynasty!

Although wars ultimately come down to fighting between top-tier forces, and now that the gods of the Great Xia have returned, the key to future wars will lie with these gods.

No matter where you are, your core fighting force is extremely important.

A swarm of ants can devour an elephant.

Never underestimate the power of a crowd.

The saying "many hands make light work" is not just a saying.

Lin Ze's eyes were filled with excitement, and he opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

However, Ye Fan did not give him that chance; he raised his hand to stop Lin Ze.

"Stop, I know what you're trying to say."

"Are you trying to say, if that's the case, why not train more high-end combat forces?"

Ye Fan looked at Lin Ze, "Is this what you wanted to say?"

Lin Ze paused for a moment, then nodded.

Only then did he realize that the things he could think of, how could the higher-ups of the Night's Watch not have thought of?

Never think you're very smart.

Lin Ze just realized what was happening.

However, he was still very curious and wanted to hear what Ye Fan was going to say next.

Ye Fan continued, "I won't answer your question directly. I'll tell you its origin, and you should understand."

"As I just said, there are so many things in this world that you can't access or know about."

Do you agree with this statement?

If it were someone else, they would have agreed with Ye Fan's idea without even thinking about it.

He was telling the truth; there are many things in this world that ordinary people don't understand.

You said that your life path is basically going to school, having holidays, playing games, and occasionally traveling.

What life experiences do you have? What do you know?

But Lin Ze is different.

He is a time traveler.

Lin Ze only wanted to say one thing: "Xiao Ye, I know what you know, and I know things you don't. How about that? Unexpected, right?"

Lin Ze was, after all, a time traveler.

He has a very good understanding of the overall framework of the world.

So he...

He hesitated for a moment before nodding.

There was no other way; he couldn't very well refuse Ye Fan's request.

Besides, he only knew the general plot of the story; he didn't really know some of the specific details.

No matter how great an author is, no one can write down every detail of a world.

This was the first lesson Lin Ze learned after transmigrating.
