Chapter 534: Leading A Fellow Disciple Astray

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Upon seeing this, Wang Mang was filled with emotion. He had witnessed the same scene he had seen on TV back during his past life.

Moreover, as Wang Mang had expected, Sun Wukong was also treated well.

Wang Mang was on the left, and Sun Wukong was on the right. They were the disciples closest to Patriarch Subhuti.

In the blink of an eye, half a year had passed, and Wang Mang was about to collapse.

During this time, countless things had been happening in the outside world, yet he had been sitting here listening to Patriarch Subhuti’s lectures.

Every Dao lecture made Wang Mang want to doze off, and it reminded him of his school days, and of being forced to study for subjects he was not good at or hated.

“Senior Brother, what did the old man talk about today? I didn’t understand anything!”

At this moment, Wang Mang, who was sitting cross-legged on a rock in the forest, slowly opened his eyes.

Looking at Sun Wukong, who was eating a peach, Wang Mang was speechless. This was because the former had stopped attending lectures.

Sun Wukong had persisted for half a year, but had given up in the end.

Of course, had it not been for Wang Mang, Sun Wukong would definitely have been able to last longer. Unfortunately, when Sun Wukong saw that Wang Mang played truant every two or three days, the same thought eventually sprouted in Sun Wukong’s mind.

After all, he was in the same boat as Wang Mang…

He could not understand a single damn thing!

Furthermore, he was not here to learn about the Dao, but to explore the path of immortality and become stronger!

Therefore, after earnestly persisting for half a year, Sun Wukong could not take it anymore, and followed his senior brother’s example.

Wang Mang waved his hand indifferently.

“Junior Brother, I’m meditating on the Dao. Don’t disturb me.”

After hearing Wang Mang’s words, Sun Wukong cursed, “What kind of Dao technique are you trying to comprehend?”

“Senior Brother, if you chase me away again, I’ll tell the patriarch that you scold him behind his back every day!”

Wang Mang was speechless, which made Sun Wukong proud of himself. Then, he said expectantly, “Senior Brother, teach me another skill. For example, that divine power of yours that makes you fly very fast!”

Wang Mang smiled at Sun Wukong and pointed into the distance.

Upon seeing this, Sun Wukong stood up and said with a face full of joy, “Senior Brother, are you saying that we should head to a hidden mountain so that you can teach it to me?”

Hearing this, Wang Mang shook his head and slowly explained, “What 1 mean is for you to go away as far away as you can.”

Sun Wukong still wanted to learn his skills. After seeing him use World Walk, the former was adamant about learning this divine power.

However, Wang Mang was not so kind as to teach his divine powers to others willy-nilly.

He himself was here to learn, yet had not learned a single thing.

Sun Wukong immediately became anxious, and decided to play the emotional card.

“Senior Brother, don’t be like this! As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a second father. What’s wrong with Senior Brother teaching me some skills?”

The speechless Wang Mang looked at the increasingly shameless Sun Wukong. He felt that the gap between the Sun Wukong he had seen on TV and the one in front of him was only getting bigger.

This also made Wang Wukong feel guilty. Could it be that he had unknowingly led Sun Wukong astray?

“Junior Brother, it’s not easy for me either! Look at you, you’ve reached the Earth Immortal realm in less than a year, but as you can see, my cultivation level hasn’t improved at all. What ability do 1 have in comparison?”

“Besides, why do you think I managed to come up with this divine power? Junior Brother, you have remarkable abilities and peerless talent. What enemy can make you run away from them in a sorry state?”

At this point, Wang Mang could not help but feel envious. Although Sun Wukong did not learn any real skills, his cultivation speed was ridiculously fast.

It was not an exaggeration to say that the speed at which his cultivation was improving faster than the speed of a rocket.

Back then, Wang Mang had taken more than half a year to reach the Earth Immortal realm!

Furthermore, he had the help of the system and his own hard work. Compared to Sun Wukong, who did nothing, but still got stronger, he was far inferior.

If Wang Mang had worked hard to achieve what he had today, then Sun Wukong had won by simply lying down. After hearing Wang Mang’s words, Sun Wukong thought for a moment and agreed.

Would he, Sun Wukong, be beaten up by others and run away in a sorry state? This was obviously impossible!

Thinking this, Sun Wukong nodded proudly and said, “That’s true. I have peerless talent, so who would be capable of doing that to me?”

After he spoke, Sun Wukong walked away, completely ignoring Wang Mang. This was because when he was with Wang Mang, he was very unhappy most of the time. He could never beat Wang Mang when it came to a battle of words, and thus he preferred to stay with his fellow disciples.

The sense of accomplishment he felt was stronger, and his vanity was easier to satisfy among that group.

At this moment, the system’s voice rang out.

[Ding! Host’s current status detected! The host is given the following mission options!]

[Mission 1: Ignore the chance to learn divine powers from Patriarch Subhuti.]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 50,000 immortal stones, Diamond Treasure Chest xi! ]

[Mission 2: Learn two divine powers from Patriarch Subhuti!]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 200,000 energy points, Immortal Treasure Chest xi! ]

[Mission 3: Learn two top-grade divine powers from Patriarch Subhuti!]

[Mission Time: Until completion.]

[Mission Reward: 500,000 energy points, Immortal-grade Gacha xi! ]

After hearing this, Wang Mang, who was bored out of his mind, was jolted awake. He had not expected the system to issue a mission at this juncture, and one about divine powers too…

However, Wang Mang was unsure if Patriarch Subhuti would teach him any top-grade divine powers, as this was not a common practice in the world of Journey to the West.

Even the Dao could not be passed down easily, much less divine powers.

Thinking this, Wang Mang felt disheartened, and began to hesitate.

Which mission option should he choose? He obviously wanted to choose the third mission option, but he felt that his chances of completing it were low.

Should he risk it?

After pondering for a long time, Wang Mang gritted his teeth and said, “System, 1 choose mission three!”

[Ding! The host has successfully selected a mission option! Please complete the mission as soon as possible to get your reward!]
