《Complete Martial Arts Attributes》Chapter 283: Was This The Trouble Of Having A Disciple Who's Too Outstanding?
Advertisement
The wolf star beasts had silver-white fur, with a rim of gold fur around their neck and claws. It made them look like immortal beasts.
They were 2-star star beasts, so they were pretty intelligent. They didn't dodge when they saw the flaming arrows shooting towards them. Instead, they congregated their sharp golden glow on the claws and slashed it forward.
Bang, bang, bang!
When the golden claws hit the flaming arrows, they gave off a metallic sound. They actually managed to block the arrows.
However, three arrows still managed to weave their way around the claws and hit their targets. After a few cries of agony, three star beasts fell on the ground and died.
The remaining four wolf star beasts turned ferocious. They leaped into the air and closed the distance with Wang Teng.
Wang Teng's expression didn't change. He converged a few strings of fire Force into a rope, sending it towards the four wolf star beasts.
The four wolf star beasts were in mid-air, so they didn't have time to dodge. Hence, they got entangled by the ropes. Wang Teng executed his fire arrows again and stabbed the remaining wolf star beasts to death.
It sounded like a long action scene, but in fact, it happened within a split second. The 2-star star beasts got killed immediately, showcasing the might of a divine spirit master.
"Not bad." Gorlin slowly landed and nodded calmly. "But, there are still flaws in your moves. You could have used your spiritual power to control the flaming arrows and make them change directions when you're attacking. That way, you would have killed the star beasts on your first try."
Wang Teng wanted to explain that he was going to execute the 'art' a few more times to get the hang of it. But, if he said this, his master might feel awkward, so he decided to remain quiet. He nodded and said, "You're right. I will take note of this in the future."

"Okay, let's continue." Gorlin nodded. He walked forward as he sighed in his heart. There was no sense of satisfaction in teaching this new disciple since he didn't need to guide him much. It was a happy yet helpless thing.
Was this the trouble of having a disciple who was too outstanding?
When the star beasts were killed, they had dropped multiple attribute bubbles. Wang Teng picked them up while keeping his spiritual power.
Metal Force*50
Blank Attribute*64
Gorlin didn't notice anything amiss. Well, he wouldn't know that Wang Teng was able to pick up attributes no matter how hard he thought.
Wang Teng waved his hand and kept the corpses of the star beasts in his space ring. Then, he ran after Gorlin.
He didn't plan to hide the existence of his space ring.
In the morning, he noticed that Gorlin had a space ring too. Even Su Lingxuan, Liu Xinghui, and the children from the elite families had one each. This meant that the space ring wasn't rare among the upper society circle even though it was precious.
…
The night passed quickly. Two hours before daylight, Wang Teng and his master returned to Yang City.
Wang Teng had made considerable improvements in a single night. He learned a few powerful arts and had become a real divine spirit master.
In the past, he only knew how to control weapons with his spiritual power. That was just the most basic art. It also used up much of his spiritual power, so he lost more than he gained.
But, in some aspects, there were pros in controlling weapons too. After all, the attacking power of spiritual power with sharp weapons was tremendous.
The shooting star spiral was one such example. It was sharp and had special abilities. It was definitely a good weapon for sneak attacks.
After returning to his little wooden house, Wang Teng laid on his bed and fell asleep instantly.
…
8 am.
"Bang, bang, bang!"

Violent knocks shook his door.
"Who is it!" Wang Teng woke up and shouted with a frown. He used his hand to block the sunlight streaming in from the window.
"It's me. The sun is shining on your butt. Why aren't you awake yet?" Su Lingxuan called out sweetly.
"Let me sleep a bit more." Wang Teng turned his body and muttered.
"Get up. I've prepared breakfast!" Su Lingxuan said.
"Young madam, I'm really sleepy. Can I get up later to eat?" Wang Teng said helplessly.
"No. It's breakfast time now. You must get up and eat. If you don't come outside, I will kick the door," Su Lingxuan said.
"F**k, are you a devil? I can't even sleep." Wang Teng was irritated. He got out of bed and opened the door violently. He glared at Su Lingxuan and said, "You're ruthless."
"Why are you up so late? What bad things did you do at night?" Su Lingxuan gave him a sly look. She had an evil smile as she peeked into his room.
"I just came to Yang City and am not familiar with this area. What bad things can I do?" Wang Teng was speechless.
"Oh, so you can't do bad things because you're unfamiliar with this area, right? Does this means that you can do bad things once you get familiar?" Su Lingxuan was enlightened. She looked at him with disdain.
Wang Teng suddenly realized that this little girl was sinister too. Hmm, why did he say 'too'?
"I don't want to bullshit with you."
Wang Teng raised his legs and walked out. He didn't even close the door. There was nothing inside, so she could look at it however she wanted.
Su Lingxuan lost her interest. She helped him close the door and caught up with him hurriedly.
"Where's breakfast?" Wang Teng asked.
"Oh, I didn't make breakfast. Let's go out and eat." Su Lingxuan sniggered.
Wang Teng turned around abruptly to glare at Su Lingxuan. He got fooled by this little girl.
"Haha, come on. I know a delicious breakfast place around here. I'll bring you there," Su Lingxuan chuckled and said.
"You want me to treat you again, don't you?" Wang Teng smiled coldly.
"It's nothing to you. You just earned more than ten thousand Force stones yesterday. Breakfast will only cost you a few of them," Su Lingxuan said. "A man can't be stingy. You won't be able to find a girlfriend like this."
"Is this a problem of being stingy? Also, who can't find a girlfriend? Don't you know how to speak?" The edge of Wang Teng's eyes twitched. His face turned black as he scolded her.
"Alright, alright. How about this? In the future, you will treat me, and in return, I will find girlfriends for you. What do you think?" Su Lingxuan winked at Wang Teng. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and said, "You're making a profit, you know. The ladies I introduce are all beauties."
"Do I look like someone who will give up my principals for beauties?" Wang Teng remained expressionless and righteous. He said without any change in his tone, "How beautiful are they?"
"Pfft!" Su Lingxuan almost choked because of this twist.
She had a different view of Wang Teng after hearing what he said at first. She didn't expect him to be so serious. Did she have some misunderstanding of him?
Yet, the moment this question popped out, the image he built in her heart collapsed. It collapsed entirely.
"Beautiful, very beautiful. You will definitely be satisfied," Su Lingxuan said hurriedly with a strange expression.
"Cough, cough. I suddenly feel that it's only right of me to treat my junior sister for some breakfast," Wang Teng nodded and replied.
Su Lingxuan snorted in her heart. She had a new understanding of how shameless her senior brother was.

The Oresteia (Modernized)
All three of the great Greek Tragedians have written plays about the bloody chain of murder and revenge within the royal family of Argos. Yet theirs is in fact not a story of tragedy, but rather one of redemption. As they move from darkness to light, from rage to self-governance, from primitive ritual to civilized institution, their spirit of struggle and regeneration becomes an everlasting song of celebration to be heard throughout the ages. Forming a discourse set against the emergence of Athenian democracy out of a period of chaos and destruction, the Orestian plays are compelling stories of the tensions between our obligations to our families and the laws that bind us together as a society. In the beginning, we witness how a king’s decision to sacrifice his daughter and turn the tide of war inflicts lasting damage on his family, culminating in a terrible act of retribution. In the aftermath of regicide, we behold how a son must set out to avenge his father’s death by committing a most egregious sin. In the end, the sinner is tormented by supernatural powers that can never be appeased, but ultimately finds redemption and ends the curse on his house once and for all. Woven through all of this is the story of a friendship so close that it elevates itself to brotherhood - Where the blood of the covenant is shown to be indeed thicker than the water of the womb. In this very brief twelve-chapter modern rendition of the Orestian plays, I have chosen to place my focus mainly on the lives of the characters Orestes and his best friend Pylades. The chapters, each around 2000-2500 words, are split up evenly between them in first-person narrative. I hope that you will come to enjoy reading this heartwarming story, but more importantly, that you see how the conflicts portrayed in the story, whether human or institutional, are still much very relevant to our societies today. Note on Sources: The details of this story is very loosely based on The Oresteia by Aeschylus. And I mean very loosely. Other sources that I referenced for detail and inspiration are Mythology by Edith Hamilton, Electra by Sophocles, and Iphigenia in Tauris by Euripides. You may also find that I have quoted some of these works, and others (such as Shelley's Ozymondaeus), without citations (average of 1-2 such quotes per chapter). I did this because I do not have the ability to describe certain scenes nearly as well as some of those writers. If you read a particularly beautiful piece of prose here, chances are it's probably stolen lol. Also, I wrote this during the summer between my high school senior year and my college freshmen year. It was the summer of 2020, and being quarantined apparently gets my creative side out lol.
