Chapter 2430 - 2431: Not Accepted

Chapter 2430: Chapter 2431: Not Accepted

"No, I refuse."

After glancing lightly at Lin Chen, Wang Hao turned his head back with indifference, his gaze still falling on the tome he was browsing.

This expression made Lin Chen appear somewhat awkward, and as for Lu Han standing to the side, he was not worth mentioning.

He was even more visibly angry.

Originally, when he arrived at the Green Ripple Sect, he was the center of attention.

This was because his strength was extremely formidable; among the newcomers, Lu Han was indeed a powerful figure. Those who had joined the sect earlier were not as strong as Lu Han, which gradually filled him with confidence.

Except for having heard Lin Chen’s name before, Lu Han could be said to not have taken anyone seriously.

Now facing Wang Hao, even though he was Lin Chen’s mentor, Lu Han didn’t know.

This person seemed dismissive, and since Lu Han hadn’t seen Wang Hao’s true power, he didn’t hear of this person’s name within the sect.

Thus, Lu Han would not easily believe that Wang Hao had formidable strength.

And now, such a person said such things, how could Lu Han not feel embarrassed, with a sense of dissatisfaction?

After all, from the very beginning, he hadn’t considered being a disciple of Wang Hao; he only wanted to come under Lin Chen’s tutelage.

If Lin Chen weren’t here now, Lu Han might have immediately exploded, wanting to challenge Wang Hao. Though perhaps not his match, Lu Han would not be fearful; at the very least, he wanted Wang Hao to see his prowess!

"What? Dissatisfied?"

Wang Hao, without turning his head, seemed as though he recognized Lu Han’s expression and spoke with slight disdain.

"Hmph."

Lu Han did not say much, instead let out a light snort through his nostrils. Then he glanced at Lin Chen; though upset inwardly, Lu Han respected Lin Chen greatly.

"Why not spar a little?" Wang Hao closed the tome, returned it to its place, and spoke to Lu Han.

As soon as the words fell, a sharp aura emerged from Wang Hao as if a sword about to be drawn, causing Lu Han’s brow to furrow.

This aura was not flowing from Wang Hao’s own cultivation; it seemed to be his will, venting, spreading around, making Wang Hao cautious.

Because this power was much stronger compared to the aura Lin Chen had previously released.

"What? Afraid?"

Wang Hao stepped forward slowly, an even sharper aura emanating, pressing down and mildly startling Lu Han.

Soon, sweat broke out on his forehead.

Yet he remained stubborn, resilient like he was when wanting to be Lin Chen’s disciple, exerting his strength to make his trembling legs straighten slightly.

Though still trembling, they finally stood upright.

"Interesting," Wang Hao declared lightly, a strange glint flashing in his eyes as he looked between Lu Han and Lin Chen, suddenly finding shadowy echoes of Lin Chen’s former self in Lu Han.

"Looks like it is settled."

Lin Chen chuckled softly, feeling reassured.

With Wang Hao’s eye, he could naturally see the substantial cultivation in Lu Han, yet Wang Hao’s selection of disciples was not solely based on talent.

After all, the sword technique he devised is extremely difficult to cultivate, requiring immense perseverance to master.

This Lin Chen understands very well.

Especially with higher cultivation realms, this further sword technique will only get more challenging.

Without strong determination, how can one overcome hardship?

Rather than letting people give up later, it’s better to quash this idea early. Hence Wang Hao rejected many, taking Lin Chen alone as his disciple.

He is very satisfied with Lin Chen.

And another person who piqued his interest has shown up.

"Let me see how capable you truly are."

Wang Hao put away his dismissive attitude, looking at Lu Han, even though Lu Han wasn’t a match for his strength, he garnered enough attention.

"Bring it on!"

Lu Han shouted boldly, condensing energy into his right fist. Amidst Wang Hao’s terrifying aura, surprisingly, he managed to gather formidable energy.

This made Wang Hao not only respect Lu Han but it also made him glance deeply at Lin Chen, realizing only now why Lin Chen brought him here.

After several breaths, once Lu Han’s attack was finally ready, he shouted, stepping onto the ground; the air’s resistance caused his advance to be slow.

Yet Lu Han wasn’t overly anxious.

He moved forward step by step, carrying strong resilience despite knowing his strength wasn’t enough. Gritting his teeth, only one goal remained—to let this person who scorned him taste the power of his fists!

"Not bad, indeed suitable for sword technique cultivation."

As he approached slowly, Wang Hao relaxed, nodding towards Lin Chen. In this brief trial, Wang Hao realized his satisfaction with this Lu Han.

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn’t have brought him specifically for mentor to accept as a disciple," Lin Chen nodded with a smile.

"Hmm."

However, Lu Han paid no heed to their words, continuing his advance toward Wang Hao’s side. The gusts brushed past Wang Hao’s garment, making it momentarily retract.

"Heh, it seems you still need to see the gap."

Looking at Lu Han’s fearless demeanor, Wang Hao’s face revealed delight, mixed with variant emotions. After pondering briefly, Wang Hao raised a hand, his fingers bringing forth extremely sharp aura!

This aura was concentrated Spiritual Energy, carrying an indomitable force!

Within this aura, Lu Han’s fist aimed at Wang Hao halted involuntarily!

He lifted his head, gazing at Wang Hao, feeling as though he saw a sharp sword! It was as if Wang Hao and the sword were one!

A chilling sensation abruptly rose in Lu Han’s heart! Only then did he realize the terrifying power Wang Hao possessed!
