Demon Lord's Reincarnation

Chapter 587 To Surpass You

Mo Feng was still on the ground unable to fully process what just happened to him. As for the people watching the battle end, those that were still awake were stunned into silence. Then there was the single person among those that watched who understood most of everything that had happened.

Mo Sheng had a dumbfounded expression on his face, he wasn't able to see what had happened completely as only Ren and Mo Feng saw that scene, but Mo Sheng knew something incredible had just transpired. Mo Sheng sensed something beyond simple sword intent coming from Ren.

...

"What did you do?" Mo Feng asked as he looked at Ren who was smiling at him.

"I applied what I understood from your so called Sword Intent. What you basically did was make your understanding of the path of the sword take form into something tangible, that's what I did as well, but I guess my understanding of my own path of the sword was much deeper than yours. Well, overall that was a nice fight. After fighting you I can honestly say you're pretty good, so how old are you?"

"I'm fifteen years old."

"Oh, I guess you are pretty talented for your age. You're ability and confidence have impressed me. Do you want to learn my swordsmanship? If you want I can teach you, not only my swordsmanship, but I'll also help you improve that Sword Intent of yours. So what do you say?"

Mo Feng was in a state of pure shock when he heard Ren's offer. After seeing Ren's skill with the sword no one doubted that Ren was comparable to a Sword Saint. Many of them were instantly jealous the moment they heard that Ren offered to teach Mo Feng. Even the Elders and the Patriarch wanted to trade places with Mo Feng and learn swordsmanship from Ren.

Seeing Mo Feng still not saying anything and continuing to be in a state of shock Mo Sheng moved towards them. He appeared beside Mo Feng and quickly pulled Mo Feng up.

"Mo Feng what are you doing, greet your Master."

Being elbowed by the Ancestor of the Clan Mo Feng got his senses back. Mo Feng then quickly made the gesture of accepting a teacher.

"Master, disciple Mo Feng greets you."

Ren was rather surprised by how quickly Mo Feng agreed and based on what he was seeing Mo Feng did agree just because of what Mo Sheng did, Ren could actually see through Mo Feng's expression that he accepts him as his Master.

"Interesting, I thought you would be more reluctant in agreeing to becoming my disciple. After that confident declaration you made, saying you would defeat me, I truly thought that your pride wouldn't accept me as your master."

Mo Feng looked directly at Ren's eyes. Ren saw that confident expression and the sparkling resolve in Mo Sheng's eyes.

"Can I speak my mind Master?"

"You may."

"I now have some understanding of how powerful you are, and your sword skills are something beyond my current abilities. You are my better in every way possible. So learning from you would help me advance faster, only a fool would not take you up on your offer for something as silly as pride. What's the use of pride if you don't have true power. What I want is the power you possess so that I have my pride. Also, I haven't given up on beating you, Master. I plan to learn everything I can from you, gain the power, knowledge, and skill to surpass you."

After Mo Feng was done speaking, everyone couldn't help but hold their breath. Mo Sheng who was closest to the two was sweating bullets despite being in a realm were sweating shouldn't even be possible. Mo Sheng even had thought of immediately killing Mo Feng and apologizing, but stopped as he reminded himself what Mo Feng's current status was.

As of just a few moments ago, Mo Feng had become the disciple of Ren. So Mo Feng wasn't just a member of the Mo Clan he was Ren's disciple, and based on Ren's strength being his disciple takes priority over Mo Feng being part of the Mo Clan. So at this time, only Ren could punish Mo Feng, while the others have no say in the matter.

While everyone waited for Ren's response no one except for Mo Feng had the courage to look at Ren's face. After a few seconds of silence, Ren suddenly laughed a hearty laugh.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA! I was right about you, kid. Brimming with confidence and ambition, the drive to move forward and seek what you want, and the talent to achieve it. Not only did you give me a good fight, but you were also able to say something none of the disciples before you could say to me. To actually claim that you will learn from me and used what you learned to surpass me, you are the first person in all of my existence past and present to have ever said those words. The most I have heard before is someone declaring they would match me but to surpass me, there was no one but you. HAHAHA, just thinking about it makes me feel so ecstatic."

The smile on Ren's face grew wider and wider as he shivered in excitement. He was now looking at Mo Feng as if he was the greatest treasure he has ever seen.

"Very well, my disciple, I promise I shall teach you my swordsmanship. Then perhaps one day, you will allow me to fight with everything I got. I hope you do not disappoint me."

Hearing what Ren said Mo Feng's eyes were shining with respect and awe. He then did a fist to palm salute as he bowed his head this time with full respect of his master.

"I shall not disappoint you my, Master."

...

While Ren and Mo Feng were having their conversation, Mo Wei had a very dangerous glint in his eyes as he stopped hesitating in his mind and made a decision that was only known to him. It was but a brief second but Ren looked at him without Mo Wei noticing. Ren then showed a slight smile.
