Chapter 2372: Chapter 2392: Master, Don’t Just Randomly Set Up Flags!_1

On the first day of apprenticeship, he learned the High-Grade Spell, Bloodline Guidance Technique.

On the second day, he studied the Dragon Mountain Sect’s ultimate technique, Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics.

"Master, do we really need to be in such a hurry?"

Master Floating Cloud laughed and said, "Other advanced techniques or miscellaneous studies of the Dragon Mountain Sect can be taught by others, but only I can teach the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics, so I must personally instruct you."

"Tomorrow is the day of the contest with the Sea God Sect, and I will be representing the Dragon Mountain Sect in the battle. Although I am strong, my opponent will surely be powerful as well. Regardless of who wins, it will definitely be a fight to the death."

"This involves not only the rivalry between the Three Sects and the Sea God Sect but also an internal comparison of the Three Sects. If the other two sects win and I lose, wouldn’t that imply that our Dragon Mountain Sect is weak? How will we compete with them then?"

"Anything can happen in battle, so I am teaching you the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics in advance. Even if something happens to me in combat, at least I will have fulfilled my duty as a Master..."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, interrupting Master Floating Cloud’s words, "Master, can’t you speak something auspicious? Why keep setting flags?"

Isn’t that how it always is on TV? People who set flags or make significant promises before undertaking a great endeavor often end up with tragic endings.

Master Floating Cloud smiled faintly, "What I’m doing is not setting flags; I’m talking about the realities. If I can successfully suppress the opponent, then naturally I’ll be fine, but if I can’t hold them down, I might have to resort to using a forbidden technique for the battle. Using a forbidden technique comes at a price, regardless of the outcome, I will definitely be seriously injured..."

Lin Chen wanted to say something but ultimately shut his mouth.

Master Floating Cloud is the top powerhouse of Dragon Mountain, representing the interests of the entire Dragon Mountain Sect. He can only move forward without looking back, even if it means staking his life, in order to win at all costs.

Allow Master Floating Cloud to give up if he can’t win?

Could he do that?

No wonder he was so anxious to pass on the Dragon Mountain Cloud Dream Tactics to him. Was he worried that if he died, the legacy would be cut off?

Lin Chen fell silent for a few seconds, then said softly, "Didn’t you just say that if you’re alive, there’s always an opportunity?"

Master Floating Cloud burst out laughing, "Where did your thoughts wander off to? I said that if I can’t control the battle, I might have to use a forbidden technique and take a risk, but I didn’t say using a forbidden technique would surely lead to my death. At worst, it would result in serious injuries."

"Although I’m an old man now, I don’t wish to die. Victory is important, so I have to give it my all, but I haven’t said I’d wager my life on it. Even if I have used a forbidden technique and still can’t overcome the opponent, I will definitely admit defeat cleanly."

"Uh, who made you sound so tragic just now, Master?"

Lin Chen muttered to himself, scratched his head, and said somewhat embarrassingly, "If the worst that can happen is getting injured, then there’s no need to rush, right? Even if you’re injured, you can still teach me."

Master Floating Cloud shook his head, "Now is when I’m in the best condition, and the legacy I bestow upon you is the most complete. If I wait until I’m injured to teach you, what you receive might feel different."

"Enough talk, sit down cross-legged."

"Calm your mind and spirit."

"Empty your head, think of nothing."

Following Master Floating Cloud’s instructions, Lin Chen sat down cross-legged and after a while, he entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

Master Floating Cloud sat cross-legged opposite Lin Chen, closed his eyes, and brought his index and middle fingers together, like a Sword Finger, pressing it to the center of his forehead.

After a moment, a glowing orb emitting a faint light appeared on the tip of Master Floating Cloud’s fingers. The orb, the size of an egg, contained countless lines dancing within, as if alive.

Master Floating Cloud opened his eyes, raised his fingers, and directed the glowing orb towards Lin Chen’s forehead with a tap, while shouting in a low voice.

"Enter the dream!"

As Master Floating Cloud’s command rang out, the glowing orb instantly entered Lin Chen’s forehead and disappeared, and at the same time, Lin Chen, who was originally sitting cross-legged, suddenly drooped his head and plunged directly into sleep.

Master Floating Cloud withdrew his hand and let out a long breath.

He quietly watched Lin Chen for a while, then stood up and left the tent.

Liuyun and the others were standing outside, and as Master Floating Cloud came out, they all shifted their gazes towards him.

"Passed on?"

Master Floating Cloud nodded, "It’s passed on; he has entered the dream. How long he will awaken, I do not know."

Liuyun sighed, "Senior brother, you seem a bit too hasty."

Master Floating Cloud shook his head, "This boy is fated with our Dragon Mountain, some things are better sooner rather than later."

Liuyun fell silent for two seconds, then softly asked, "Senior brother, are you not very optimistic about the battle tomorrow?"

Master Floating Cloud laughed and replied, "I don’t even know who my opponent is, so talking about optimism is premature. Anyway, I will do my best; if I win, I win, if I lose, I lose."

Wisdom Cloud nodded, "Senior brother is right. Although the battle is important, doing our best is all we can ask for. If things really don’t look good, there’s no need to force it. We all understand."

Master Floating Cloud hummed in acknowledgment, his gaze resting on everyone, "I will exert my full power in tomorrow’s battle, and the outcome is yet unknown. If I lose and fall into a coma, take good care of Lin Chen; he is very important to our Dragon Mountain..."
