Chapter 5: The Fee Given by the Titled Douluo to Change His Words

As a time traveler, Ye Feng clearly remembered that when Yu Xiaogang wanted to take Tang San as his disciple, he had also said that he would be persistent this time.

Now, hearing Chen Xin say the same thing, could it be that Sword Douluo wanted to take Ye Feng as his apprentice?

"Are you going to teach me martial arts?" Ye Feng asked tentatively, deep in thought. He hadn't forgotten that the system had mentioned giving him a Titled Douluo master.

The system had just finished speaking when Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi appeared. Ye Feng couldn't help but wonder if this was connected.

"You are indeed very smart."

Sword Douluo looked at Ye Feng with satisfaction, growing even more pleased with him. "You are exceptionally gifted and intelligent. You are also the third spirit master to awaken twin martial spirits in the past hundred years. Become my disciple, and from now on, you will be my direct disciple."

"Will there be a fee for changing my words when I become your apprentice?" Ye Feng asked with a grin.

"What?" Sword Douluo asked in surprise.

"I heard from the villagers that when you take a master, the master usually gives you a fee for changing your words. Is that true?" Ye Feng asked seriously.

"A fee for changing words?" Sword Douluo murmured, still not quite grasping what Ye Feng was getting at.

"No? So that only happens in novels?" Ye Feng pouted, looking at Chen Xin as if something was missing.

Ye Feng's expression did not go unnoticed by Sword Douluo. That gaze clearly said that he had suffered a loss by becoming Chen Xin's disciple!

"Uncle Jian, this kid is really smart!" Ning Fengzhi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he looked at Ye Feng with admiration.

As the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi knew how many disciples in the sect dreamed of taking Sword Douluo as their master, yet they had begged for years without success.

Now, not only was Ye Feng becoming Chen Xin's apprentice, but he was also asking for a fee to change his words. If those disciples found out about this, Ning Fengzhi could only imagine their expressions!

"Yes," Sword Douluo finally said, nodding as if he had no choice but to go along with it. "Of course, there will be a fee for changing your words after becoming my disciple. Since you're my disciple now, there will naturally be a reward."

"Master, please accept my respects!" Without hesitation, Ye Feng bowed deeply to Sword Douluo, this time kneeling on both knees.

"What are you doing?" Sword Douluo asked in surprise.

"Paying my respects to my master!" Ye Feng replied.

"Don't you know that this kind of etiquette is reserved for royalty or one's biological parents? A simple bow is enough for a master," Sword Douluo said with a rare smile. He was pleased—after all, he had just taken in an exceptionally talented disciple, a twin martial spirit genius with innate full spirit power at level 30. He could brag about this in front of Bone Douluo for years!

"Heaven, Earth, Emperor, Parents, and Teachers. A teacher for a day, a father for life. You deserve my kneeling," Ye Feng said solemnly before kowtowing three times to Sword Douluo.

"Get up." With a wave of his hand, Sword Douluo used his spirit power to lift Ye Feng to his feet.

Immediately after, Sword Douluo waved again, and a silver-glowing object floated in front of Ye Feng.

"Is this my fee for changing my words?" Ye Feng asked in surprise. As a time traveler, he instantly recognized what it was.

"Yes, this is what I'm giving you as your fee... well, for changing your words," Sword Douluo said with a rare pause before continuing. "This is the Right Arm Bone of the Sky-Tyrant Mad Ape. It's a superior spirit bone, ninety thousand years old. It has a skill that allows you to enter a berserk state, instantly doubling your attack power."

"The Right Arm Bone of the Sky-Tyrant Mad Ape!" Ye Feng repeated, murmuring in disbelief.

Although it wasn't a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit bone, a ninety-thousand-year-old bone was still an absolute treasure. If this were lost in the outside world, countless people would fight to the death for it.

"A spirit master can obtain a total of six spirit bones—head, torso, right arm, left arm, right leg, and left leg. In addition, there are rare external spirit bones. Sit cross-legged. I will guide you on how to absorb this spirit bone," Sword Douluo instructed.

"Yes, Master." Ye Feng nodded and took two deep breaths to calm his excitement.

Not only had he taken a Titled Douluo as his master, but he had also been gifted a ninety-thousand-year-old top-tier spirit bone.

Under Sword Douluo's guidance, Ye Feng immediately began absorbing the Right Arm Bone of the Sky-Tyrant Mad Ape.

This was a small square in front of the Spirit Hall of Holy Spirit Village. Usually, few people came here. Even if someone did, Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi were there to protect him.

About half an hour later, Ye Feng had fully absorbed the spirit bone. He could feel the explosive power surging within his arm. With just a thought, his strength would double. He decided to call this strange ability "Double Combat Power."

"Ye Feng, come back with us to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect," Sword Douluo invited.

"No, Master. I want to enroll in Notting City Junior Spirit Master Academy and learn all the foundational knowledge about spirit masters," Ye Feng politely declined.

With a system as unique as his, he had already gained immense benefits in such a short time. Following Tang San meant more opportunities for growth and further benefits.

If he went to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, it wouldn't be much different from joining the Spirit Hall—his path would become predetermined. Ye Feng had no interest in that.

Sword Douluo hesitated for a moment before sighing. Seeing Ye Feng's firm resolve, he compromised. "Alright, but you must promise me one thing."

"What is it?" Ye Feng asked curiously.

"Without my permission, before you become a Titled Douluo, you are not allowed to add any spirit rings to your second martial spirit," Sword Douluo said seriously.

"Alright, Master," Ye Feng agreed without hesitation. He understood why Chen Xin made such a request—he wanted Ye Feng to attach only ten-thousand-year-old or higher spirit rings to his second martial spirit.

Ye Feng then grinned mischievously. "I can't add spirit rings to my second martial spirit, but... can I add them to my third martial spirit?"

Sword Douluo was Ye Feng's master, and the fee for changing his words had been a priceless ninety-thousand-year-old spirit bone. Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo shared a deep bond, with the latter being the guardian Douluo of the former's sect.

Ye Feng had no plans to hide his Three-Life Martial Spirit from these two key figures in his life.

Of course, that was because he trusted their character.

"What?"

"You have a third martial spirit?"

Both Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were stunned, their faces filled with shock.
