Chapter 1030 Dragon Soul
Chapter 1030 Dragon Soul
Ling Feng clicked his tongue in wonder: "So many years, this school can be said to be the life’s work of your generation!"
"Indeed it is!"
Ding Guoqing nodded, then added, "Being able to see the school grow and prosper within my lifetime, my wish has been fulfilled."
Hearing this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but show his respect.
He still had many questions, but he believed he would know the answers soon, so he did not ask further.
When they arrived at the administration building, after taking the elevator to the top floor, Xiao Ruolan and Li Yun stayed in the outside living room, while Ling Feng followed the old man into his study.
After sitting down, Ding Guoqing looked at Ling Feng: "Mr. Ling, about the things you are curious about, I temporarily cannot tell you."
Ling Feng: "...."
All his previous imaginings shattered, the old man was being too direct.
Seeing his helpless expression, Ding Guoqing smiled: "I know Mr. Ling will understand me, right?"
"Yes, I quite understand your thoughts, though curious, but I have not thought about insisting on understanding the exact situation!" Ling Feng smiled.
"Hm!"
Ding Guoqing nodded, then stood up and opened the safe behind him.
He then took out a box: "I asked to see you today because I wanted to give this to you."
Seeing the ancient-looking wooden box, Ling Feng was momentarily stunned: "What is this?"
"A Token."
As Ding Guoqing spoke, he opened the wooden box and took out a black wooden token.
Ling Feng took it in his hand, saw the dragon-shaped patterns carved on it, but saw no words on it, thus he asked curiously, "What is this used for?"
"With this, you can command Dragon Soul," Ding Guoqing said.
"What?"
Ling Feng was astonished, not knowing what Dragon Soul was, but just hearing the name was enough to shock him.
"Dragon Soul is an organization that has continued for two thousand years, with a broad and long history, never disbanded, and currently, Dragon Soul still has seven hundred members!" Ding Guoqing explained.
"Seven hundred people? Are they all Superpower Users?" Ling Feng asked in astonishment.
This was astonishing; Having such a vast organization in the world, and it was hidden?
Ding Guoqing smiled: "Not exactly, among these seven hundred, most are skilled craftsmen who have mastered various exquisite skills created throughout several thousand years of Huaxia’s history, the actual Superpower Users are only about a hundred!"
"That’s already quite a lot!"
Ling Feng sighed, speaking with admiration, "This Dragon Soul’s cohesion is really strong after thousands of years of transmission!"
"That’s because of the belief in protecting Huaxia!" Ding Guoqing solemnly said.
Upon hearing this, Ling Feng widened his eyes, asking in surprise, "But grandpa, entrusting such a heavy responsibility to me, I feel a bit overwhelmed!"
"I have been looking for a successor all these years, but over the decades, after inspecting no less than a thousand people, none met the criteria!"
Ding Guoqing sighed, "If it weren’t for my granddaughter’s situation, I would not have settled on you either."
"Your granddaughter?"
Ling Feng was startled and asked in astonishment, "Who is that?"
"Chen Yan!"
"Huh?"
Ling Feng was even more surprised, his eyes widening: "She’s actually your granddaughter?"
"Yes, but Chen Yan herself does not know this, as due to her identity, her background has always been kept secret!" Ding Guoqing explained.
"Do you know about the accident she encountered?" Ling Feng inquired.
Ding Guoqing nodded, "Of course, the inheritance she suddenly received, it was precisely what I transferred to her!"
"..."
Ling Feng understood at this point.
However, he then gave a wry smile: "Elder, pulling such a move, really is quite unexpected!"
"I have my difficulties too, regarding the matter of her heritage, I hope you can keep it a secret for now. I will tell her when I’m on my deathbed!" Ding Guoqing explained.
Ling Feng was even more surprised: "Why, she is your granddaughter, it would make more sense for her to take over Dragon Soul!"
"You are mistaken, the master of Dragon Soul does not require a bloodline succession, just a person who is resilient and righteous."
"And you are the only candidate I can find now!"
"Uh..."
Ling Feng was incredibly overwhelmed, his mouth agape, not knowing what to say for a moment.
"Digest this bit of news after you go back, the box contains the contact methods and list for Dragon Soul, take them all!" said Ding Guoqing as he pushed the wooden box towards him.
"Elder, suddenly entrusting this to me, I’m completely unprepared!" Ling Feng said with a bitter smile.
"That’s why I’m giving you time to digest!"
Ding Guoqing smiled, then continued: "Tomorrow, five Elders of Dragon Soul will arrive at the school, with their help, you should be able to capture that infiltrator."
"That’s great, this matter has really been worrying me!" Ling Feng said.
He then continued to ask, "After I catch this person, Elder, what do you plan to do?"
"I don’t care, just hand them over to the security bureau," said Ding Guoqing.
"Alright, I’ve got it."
Ling Feng nodded, then stood up and gave a deep bow to the old man: "Thank you for your trust, Elder. I will definitely enhance and glorify Dragon Soul, not disappointing you or any of our predecessors!"
"Very good, now I can rest assured."
Ding Guoqing nodded, then said, "Now go back, and when you have time, come and visit me, I’ll always be here at the school!"
"I definitely will!"
Ling Feng earnestly nodded, then turned and left the study.
By the time he returned to the Reception Hall, he still felt dazed, as if he was dreaming!
This news came too suddenly, completely catching him off guard.
He had already realized the significance of Dragon Soul, the sudden handover of such a vast organization to him by Ding Guoqing truly left Ling Feng struggling to regain his bearings.
He initially intended to return to his guest room and spend some warm time with Li Yun, but now he no longer felt in the mood, and after watching her drive away, Ling Feng hurried back to his room.
Once inside, he locked the door, drew the curtains, and opened the box on the coffee table, taking out the contents.
...
...
The next morning, cars successively entered the school campus, all parking at the Reception Hall’s parking lot.
There were many accompanying personnel, but only five went upstairs to find Ling Feng.
These five individuals varied from old to young, tall to short, slim to chubby, but what they all had in common was a strong aura of authority.
Once everyone had arrived, Ling Feng looked at the five unfamiliar faces and smiled, saying, "I’ve never been the leader of any team, nor do I have much experience, I hope you all won’t laugh at me."
"The master should not be modest. If the elder chose you to succeed him, it means you definitely have outstanding qualities!" one Elder said.
He then turned to the other four people: "The new master doesn’t know us yet, let’s introduce ourselves one by one! I’ll start."
