Chapter 153 The Great Sage of the Third Rank

The Great Sage of the third rank!

The system’s calm warning, to Lin Lei, wasn’t calm at all. In fact, it was like a sudden strike of thunder!

This was the Great Sage of the third rank?

I had not been cultivating calmly recently!

Lin Lei was stunned.

He did not expect that the system’s reward would be so unreasonable!

This sudden upgrade had completely caught him off guard.

Was it that easy to advance in terms of level for the Great Sage…?

He mumbled to himself mechanically. For a long time, he couldn’t believe that this was real.

However, as his excitement slowly subsided, he began to analyze his own realm.

“The system says… This is the 10 times reward for Ella and Walton’s advancement?”

“Walton’s advancement to the first rank of Great Sage… the 10 times reward the system gave me only allowed me to advance to the third rank of the Great Sage…”

“Does this mean that the difference in power between a first rank Great Sage and a third rank Great Sage is 10 times greater?”

Lin Lei couldn’t help but think about it.

His guess was basically correct.

After all, the 10 times reward for Ella’s advancement to the Sage was negligible for someone of the Great Sage.

“Doesn’t this mean that the current me can now fight against 10 Walton?”

Lin Lei couldn’t help but laugh as he thought about this.

However, not long after this thought surfaced, he thought about the existence of the ‘High Magus’, and his smile slowly froze…

“If a Great Sage of the third rank is 10 times more powerful than a Great Sage of the first rank, then… how powerful would a High Magus be?”

“Could it be that at my level, he can fight a hundred at once?”

As Lin Lei thought of this, the image of him being sent flying by a single punch from a High Magus appeared in his mind. After that…

He couldn’t laugh anymore…

“Alas, I’m still too weak. I need to increase the speed at which I increase my power…”

He sighed. The joy he had felt upon becoming a Great Sage of the third rank was swept away.

But of course, only Lin Lei had the reason to be ‘unhappy’. If it had been anyone else on the continent who discovered that they had advanced from a first rank Great Sage to a third rank Great Sage in just two short months, they would probably be so excited that they fainted…

“Taking in disciples and gaining reward is indeed a good way to quickly advance to the next level… I have taken in too few… No, to be specific, too few high-level disciples. it would be good if I could have a few more Great Sages, or even top-notch Sages…”

Lin Lei couldn’t help but think, and soon two names appeared in his mind: Bud, William!

“Well, I wish I could take these two fellows as my disciples, but I’m afraid they won’t agree…”

Lin Lei let out a sigh, pushing the door open, he prepared to go out and get some fresh air.

“Creak.”

The door opened.

But just as he was about to step out, Lin Lei was stunned.

At the door, two familiar faces appeared in front of him!

These two were… Bud and William!

“Bud? William? Why are both of you here?”

Lin Lei’s face was filled with astonishment.

He hadn’t expected that after two months of secluded meditation, the first people he would meet were actually these two fellows!

Based on his memories from before his secluded meditation, the last time he had met these two was when they had rejected his request to take them as his disciples.

Therefore, right now, they should be angry at home and ignoring him?

But why… would they appear at his doorstep?

Moreover…

Judging from their current state… their eyes were swollen, and their eye bags were black… They didn’t seem to have slept well. Clearly, they hadn’t slept all night…

But then, after reaching the Sage level, not sleeping for a day or two wouldn’t cause them any discomfort.

Unless… They hadn’t slept well for more than 10 days!

Oh my God!

Could it be that these two fellows had been guarding my door for more than 10 days?

Lin Lei was stunned.

He couldn’t understand what these two fellows suddenly turned crazy.

Right at this moment, on the opposite side, when Bud and William realized that it was really Lin Lei who had come out, they were so excited that they almost jumped over to hug him.

But before they did, they were the first to discover that the aura on Lin Lei’s body… was even more powerful than before!

This wasn’t the aura of a Great Sage of the first rank. This was…

“Lin Lei, you… advanced again?”

Bud asked with a trembling face. The nearby William’s eyes were wide open as he stared at Lin Lei.

Lin Lei, being stared at by these two, nodded and laughed.

“I was lucky enough to advance to a Great Sage of the third rank…”

A Great Sage of the third rank??

Stupefied.

Bud and William were completely stupefied!

Lin Lei’s casual words, to their ears, were like a heavy hammer!

They were hammered so hard that they were dizzy.

Then, Bud was the first to react. This was a good time to acknowledge him as their master!

Therefore without any hesitation, he immediately fell to his knees, kowtowing to Lin Lei.

“Master Lin Lai, please accept this kowtow from your disciple!”

“Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Three kowtows in a row

Each kowtow was louder than the previous!

Hearing these sounds, Lin Lei… was stunned!

What was going on?

What lucky day was today?

Not only had he gained insights into the fifth stage Infinite Sword Technique, acquired the Seven Color Eyes Spell, and advanced to become a Great Sage of the third rank, but…

Bud, who had been making a face at him all this time, had actually acknowledged him as his master?

Lin Lei was caught off guard by this sudden surprise.

Right at this moment, “Bang!”!

Yet another loud bang!

Lin Lei turned and looked over, only to see William kneeling down as well, and then, “Dong! Dong! Dong!”

Three consecutive kowtows.

“Master, please accept disciple’s kowtow!”

Holy sh*t!

He was stunned!

This time, he was completely stunned!

William, who had always been the most cold and aloof, had also acknowledged him as his master???

Happiness came too quickly, like a tornado.

Lin Lei stood there in a daze. Only after ten or so seconds did he realize that all of this was real!

Then, he hurriedly went forward, one in each hand, helping Bud and William to their feet. He hurriedly said,

“No, no, no, Brothers, if you want to acknowledge me as your master, then do it. There’s no need for so much formalities!”

Lin Lei said politely.

But in his heart, he was completely overjoyed!

Hahaha!

He had taken in two more disciples at the peak of the Sage realm!

This way, if they advanced, wouldn’t he receive 10 times the reward? ?

That was… 20 times of the reward from the first rank of the Great Sage…

There was a high chance that he would directly advance to the fifth rank of the Great Sage realm!

Lin Lei thought excitedly, with the smile on his face growing wider and wider.

He was truly lucky. He couldn’t even block it!

He let out a sigh. Looking at his two new disciples, he couldn’t help but think with joy.

Right at this moment, the system’s notification rang out:

“Ding! Congratulations to the host for accepting a new disciple, Bud, William! Activate the ‘epiphany’ ability!”

“The host can teach new disciples any techniques at any time. The system’s ‘epiphany’ ability will be activated at all times!”

…

No problem at all!

Lin Lei was laughing to himself as he thought this.

He patted William and Bud on their shoulders, prepared to skip the nonsense and directly teach the two new techniques.

After all, right now, the most important thing was to increase one’s power and level!

Only, Lin Lei was worried, but he didn’t expect that Bud and William were even more worried!

Before Lin Lei could even say “your master is going to teach you the first Mystical Ability”, Bud and William had said directly in unison.

“Master, please teach me the technique to become a first rank Great Sage!”
