Global Game: My Divine Skills Reach Full Level Automatically

The abbot was puzzled:

”Furthermore, you have actually mastered the One Yang Finger to such a Supreme Realm of First Grade! It’s unbelievable! In my lifetime, I have struggled to reach this level, yet Donor Ding has achieved it. I can’t help but suspect that you started practicing this art from a young age.”

Ding Ling remained silent.

Duan Yu couldn’t resist:

”Abbot, since Brother Ding says he’s not part of the Duan family, then he must not be. Why do you need to doubt?”

”I have no reason not to doubt.”

The abbot pondered for a moment, gazing intently at Ding Ling, and asked:

”Exactly which high master of my Duan family did you acquire the One Yang Finger from?”

”I can only say that the origin of the One Yang Finger is entirely legitimate and aboveboard, without any trace of filth. So, Master Abbot need not worry about my harboring any hostility toward the Celestial Dragon Temple.”

Ding Ling said.

”It is entirely legitimate and aboveboard...”

The abbot fell into a sea of thoughts, considering that Ding Ling might be a remnant of the former Crown Prince Duan Yanqing’s line, or perhaps a ’seed’ left outside by Duan Zhengchun, or maybe a descendant from another branch of the Duan family that survived by luck years ago...

With so many thoughts swirling, the abbot’s gaze towards Ding Ling naturally softened a lot.

Obviously, with his imagination, the abbot had already categorized Ding Ling as a member of the Duan family. Otherwise, how could someone cultivate the One Yang Finger to the First Grade level!

This is a secret never passed on outside!

If you’re not part of the Duan family, you’re absolutely not qualified to practice it, let alone achieve the First Grade at such a young age!

Thinking of such a talent emerging among the Duan family, the abbot was elated, yet felt a tinge of regret for Ding Ling having changed his name. Without a doubt, Ding Ling’s life experiences must be very complicated and tumultuous; otherwise, why would he need to change his name?

On this matter, he refrained from asking much, only saying warmly:

”Donor Ding, you didn’t come here just to exhibit the One Yang Finger, did you? Is there something important you need to tell me?”

”I heard that the Great Wheel Ming King Jiu Mozhi from Tubo plans to seize the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture. Is this true?”

”Even you know about this.”

The abbot’s pupils slightly contracted, then he relaxed and sighed:

”Indeed. Jiu Mozhi, under the pretense of a Buddhist debate challenge, intends to snatch the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture. This is something I absolutely cannot allow him to accomplish. The Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture is an unpassed secret of our Duan Clan, and outsiders absolutely have no possibility of cultivating it!”

”I am willing to ward off Jiu Mozhi for the Celestial Dragon Temple.”

Ding Ling solemnly said:

”But I wish to take a look at the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture.”

At this point,

Duan Yu and the others suddenly realized.

They finally understood why Ding Ling came all the way to the Celestial Dragon Temple.

Duan Yu’s expression was complex; he opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately didn’t. To him, it was merely a martial art, not something significant. His mind was entirely occupied by the thought of finding and meeting the Immortal Sister, leaving him uninterested in matters he didn’t care much about.

Moreover, Ding Ling is proficient in the First Grade One Yang Finger, showing close ties with the Duan Clan! Given this, what’s the harm in letting Ding Ling learn the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture?

In any case, learning one unpassed secret is learning, learning two is still learning!

That’s how Duan Yu thought.

The abbot, although not as generous, was moved by Ding Ling’s extraordinary talent and probable connection to the Duan lineage. Considering Ding Ling would shield them from Jiu Mozhi, the abbot couldn’t help but say:

”I can’t decide on this matter; I must consult Master Kuru.”

”Please go ahead, Abbot.”

Ding Ling said.

”Please wait for a moment.”

The abbot said:

”I will consult Master Kuru right now.”

With that, the abbot hurried off.

A quarter of an hour later.

The abbot returned, bringing Ding Ling and others to another side hall to meet Master Kuru.

He had his back to the people.

After Ding Ling’s group paid their respects, he turned around.

Ding Ling and his companions were then able to see his true appearance, an old man with a rather ferocious, ugly visage.

His left face was rosy and glossy, like a baby’s skin;

Yet his right face was like dried bones, with a sallow skin hanging over it as if no muscles were supporting it, looking quite frightening.

Duan Yu and others had never seen such a person, inevitably got startled, each instinctively diverted their gaze, not daring to look too much.

However, Ding Ling was different; having been through battles in several worlds and having killed many, he had long reached the point of seeing floating corpses and remains as nothing; thus, when gazing directly at Master Kuru, his expression and eyes were extremely calm, without any peculiar changes.

Master Kuru had his back to the people to avoid frightening them.

Now turning around, he intended to see the unparalleled genius Ding Ling mentioned by Abbot Benyin!

Upon seeing him, he immediately recognized Ding Ling, saying ’Amitabha’ before continuing:

”Are you?”

”Junior Ding Ling meets the master!”

Ding Ling proactively extended his greetings.

”You don’t need to call yourself a junior.”

Master Kuru’s eyes gleamed with divine light, examining Ding Ling closely:

”To be able to face me without showing any change, you are indeed exceptional and extraordinary. Let me see the Finger Force of your One Yang Finger.”

Ding Ling executed as instructed.

Master Kuru, seeing clearly and understandingly, was overwhelmed with shock and awe, even though he had mentally prepared himself, he still couldn’t maintain calm upon witnessing it firsthand:

”Indeed, it is the One Yang Finger of our Dali Duan Clan. And it has certainly reached the legendary First Grade Realm. Truly remarkable, utterly remarkable.”

Master Kuru’s One Yang Finger had reached the Second Grade.

However, compared to Ding Ling’s, it was far inferior.

Thus concluding Ding Ling had reached the First Grade.

In the midst of shock, he couldn’t help but secretly be astonished:

”I didn’t expect that someone in our Duan lineage could actually cultivate the One Yang Finger to the First Grade!”

Zhong Ling very much wanted to say, ’Master, you’ve got it wrong! My husband is surnamed Ding!’

But in the end, she didn’t say it.

And just quietly watched from the side.

Duan Yu, however, was distracted, his mind full of ’When will Brother Ding take me to see Immortal Sister?’

”Can you tell me the names of your parents?”

Master Kuru asked.

Ding Ling told him.

Master Kuru was confused and asked Ding Ling to speak of the names of three generations of ancestors.

Ding Ling could only speak of his grandfather’s generation, and beyond that, he didn’t know.

He was speaking of his deceased parents and grandparents from this lifetime, not about his identity before his reincarnation.

Master Kuru naturally didn’t understand, but he was secretly amazed, confused, bewildered, yet this did not affect his certainty that Ding Ling was definitely closely related to the Duan lineage!

He listened carefully to what Abbot Benyin had to say.

After hearing Master Benyin’s analysis.

Master Kuru wholeheartedly agreed.

He also felt that Ding Ling must be associated with a branch of the Duan lineage.

Now Ding Ling had come on his own initiative, wanting to learn the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture.

Master Kuru was tempted, saying:

”It’s not impossible for you to learn the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture.”

Ding Ling looked delighted.

Master Kuru noticed this and thought he’s still a young man, but he said:

”But you must join my Celestial Dragon Temple and become a monk.”

As soon as these words came out.

Mu Wanqing instinctively stopped him: ”No way!”

Zhong Ling even said crisply:

”Master, Brother Ding is my husband! We haven’t even gotten married or had children yet, how can he become a monk!”

”You don’t have children?”

Master Kuru glanced sideways.

Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling also looked intently.

Ding Ling shook his head.

Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling synchronized their sighs of relief; having no children signified something obvious.

”In this case, it’s inappropriate to force you to become a monk.”

Master Kuru regretted:

”The Duan lineage has ancestral teachings. The One Yang Finger and Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture can only be passed down to Duan family members. And the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture can only be passed on to Duan members who have become monks at the Celestial Dragon Temple.”

”Master.”

Ding Ling said:

”I want to make a bet with you.”

”Please say.”

Master Kuru’s expression was kind.

Ding Ling was such a genius, the Finger Force from the One Yang Finger was unmatchable!

He could be certain.

As long as Ding Ling was stationed at the Celestial Dragon Temple! With his unparalleled martial arts! It would ensure a hundred years of stability for the Celestial Dragon Temple and a hundred years of peace for the Dali Duan Clan!

And he was already old, it was rare to find a suitable successor.

Ding Ling’s arrival was timely! It tempted even Master Kuru to think of enticing Ding Ling.

After all, Ding Ling was related to the Duan lineage, most likely a lost branch of the family. Even if he wasn’t a family member, his Cause and Effect with the Duan lineage was profound! Naturally, efforts must be made to win him over.

”I’ll bet that I can look at the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture just once and immediately cultivate the Six Meridian Divine Sword to the Realm of Perfect Fulfillment!”

”How is that possible?!”

Master Kuru was shocked:

”This is a bet you are destined to lose!”

”The stakes are simple.”

Ding Ling continued:

”If I can’t accomplish seeing the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture once and immediately mastering and using it freely, I will not only become a monk, stay at the Celestial Dragon Temple for life, guard the Celestial Dragon Temple, protect the Duan family, but also do my utmost to thwart any enemies that invade the Celestial Dragon Temple!”

”Are you serious about this?!”

Abbot Benyin’s eyes brightened.

Master Kuru was moved.

This is a bet destined to lose! Is this young man Ding Ling trying to return to the Duan family indirectly? Protect the Duan family?

It seems his relationship with the Duan family is indeed deep.

Thinking like this, Master Kuru said:

”What if you change your mind?”

”Can write a contract. Everyone present can testify. If I go back on my word, may lightning strike me!”

Ding Ling solemnly said.

Master Kuru was moved:

”Alright. I’ll let you see the Six Meridian Divine Sword Scripture, I just hope that after looking at it, you will indeed do as you said, become a monk, and not regret later.”
