Chapter 38: Rewarding a Martial God Hall

Ye Xiaozhi obediently placed her hand on the spirit-testing pillar, then slowly closed her eyes to sense its presence.

But Li Mu beside him never spoke.

Li Yilan's growth made him feel utterly incredulous.

Now, as Lin Yang recruited another new disciple, he eagerly wanted to see this disciple astonish everyone.

Exactly, that's what "astonishing everyone" means.

Thus.

Only then would some of his guesses be verified.

Hum!

After Ye Xiaozhi placed her hand on it, merely an instant later, the spirit-testing pillar reacted.

A rainbow light shot up into the sky.

A large character began to appear on the spirit-testing pillar.

"Chen"

Seeing this, everyone's eyes widened in shock, just about to mock.

But at that moment, the character changed.

"Star"

"Moon"

"Sun"

In merely an instant, the spirit-testing pillar displayed a "Sun" character.

Seeing this.

Everyone was stunned in an instant.

"Heavens, this little girl's talent is actually Sun‑rank!"

"Not long ago, a Sun‑rank talent just appeared, and now another Sun‑rank little girl has appeared."

"Shut up, that's called Senior Sister."

While the disciples were dumbfounded, the elders were also stunned.

"Sun‑rank?"

"Hahaha, two Sun‑ranks, heaven blesses Qingyun Sect!"

"Qingyun Sect flourishes."

For a moment, all the elders' faces lit up with smiles, and they instantly felt that Lin Yang's ninefold bell toll was correct—missing such a talent in spirit‑testing would be a regret.

Thus, no one blamed Lin Yang's actions anymore.

Only the Second Elder's face turned dark as iron.

Li Mu stared blankly, his throat feeling dry.

"Sun‑rank?"

"A freak like Li Yilan just appeared, and now another freak?"

He turned his head to look at Lin Yang.

"Why did everything suddenly become absurd?"

He……

Meanwhile, Lin Yang nodded satisfactorily.

Just as she had thought.

Ye Xiaozhi is Sun‑rank talent.

But as soon as he said that.

Just as Lin Yang thought the matter was over, the energy on the spirit‑testing pillar kept rising.

Hum!

Two characters appeared above Ye Xiaozhi's head.

"Yang Yao"

Then!

A flash and gone.

Next!

Boom—rumble!

The thick spirit‑power pillar shattered outright.

"What?"

"How is this possible? The spirit‑testing actually blew up the spirit‑power pillar?"

"This little girl—pfft, this Senior Sister's talent—just how terrifying is it?"

The disciples looked at each other, then at the elders.

The elders also stared at one another.

The spirit‑testing pillar directly blew up.

Such a thing has never been heard of or seen before.

It can be certain that Ye Xiaozhi's talent is not merely Sun‑rank; it is absolutely higher than Sun‑rank, otherwise how could she have shattered the spirit‑testing pillar?

But what lies above Sun‑rank?

Heavens.

Where on earth did Lin Yang find such a freak?

They all looked toward Lin Yang.

And Lin Yang likewise furrowed his brows.

"Radiant Sun?"

At this moment, a system explanation appeared in his mind.

【Sun, moon, and stars are merely the talent classifications of the Mysterious Yellow Continent; after that there is Radiant Sun, etc.】

Upon hearing that.

Lin Yang's mouth twitched wildly; he never expected there would be more afterward.

【That's only natural. Besides, I haven't lied to the host, right? Ye Xiaodie's talent attribute entry can't be viewed during the day, only at night.】

"Right, right, you're absolutely right." This time, Lin Yang was genuinely convinced.

Afterwards.

He looked at Ye Xiaodie's attribute panel.

【Second disciple: Ye Xiaodie】

【Cultivation level: None】

【Talent: Radiant Sun】

【Orange entry: Innate Assassin】

【Gold entry: Shadow Maiden】

【Purple entry: Shadow Holy Body】

【Blue entry: Resourceful and Brave】

【White entry: Nobody Can Move My Brother】

【Black entry: Cold Poison Invades Body】

Looking at it this way, Ye Xiaodie's talent and attribute entries almost completely outclassed Li Yilan in every aspect.

Truly formidable.

However, they're both good kids; the stronger their talent, the better it is for him as their cheap master.

And at this moment.

The Grand Elder chuckled and asked, "Lin Yang, does this disciple of yours have a master? If not, may I take her as my disciple?"

Upon hearing that.

Lin Yang was startled.

He really wanted to say, "Grand Elder, don't you think what you're asking makes sense? What do you mean by whether this disciple has a master? Everyone says she's a disciple—doesn't it make it obvious enough that I'm her master?"

Immediately.

Lin Yang hurriedly looked toward the other elders.

By this point, a bold elder had already started pulling Ye Xiaodie's hand and trying to sweet-talk her in various ways.

"Hey hey hey, don't touch, don't touch, she's already taken me as her master—you guys have no chance."

Fortunately, Lin Yang promptly shielded Ye Xiaodie behind him.

Meanwhile, some unwilling elders said.

"Miss, is there really no chance between us?"

"Miss, just consider me."

Ye Xiaodie refused them one by one and then said firmly, "Sorry, all elders, my master is Lin Yang."

Upon hearing that.

Everyone still wasn't giving up.

"It's fine; I have a treasure here to give you—let's stay in touch later."

"I have one too, and I'll give it to you—let's keep in touch more often."

With their shenanigans.

More and more elders also began to give gifts.

Just like with Li Yilan back then.

"Master, what's this?" Ye Xiaodie momentarily had no idea.

Lin Yang said, "Just accept them; these are the elders' affection for you."

Moreover, he could see from the approving gazes of all the elders that they had come to fully accept Heavenly Dao Peak.

This is exactly the situation he wanted to see.

After the gift-giving ended, Lin Yang brought Ye Xiaodie back to Heavenly Dao Peak.

He didn't waste words and directly handed over the Imperial-level cultivation manual, the Shadow Assassination Heart Sutra, to Ye Xiaodie.

Then he passed on some basic cultivation mnemonics to her.

Afterwards, he gave him another hundred thousand cultivation spirit stones.

Thus, Ye Xiaodie returned to her room, full of excitement, to begin formal cultivation.

After Ye Xiaodie left.

【Ding!】

【Congratulations, host, for successfully imparting the Imperial-level heart manual Shadow Assassination Heart Sutra to Ye Xiaodie, rewarding the host with a Martial God Palace.】

"Martial God Palace?" Upon hearing the system's reward, Lin Yang was surprised again: "Can a Martial God Palace also be rewarded?"

You should know that the Martial God Palace is a treasure forged by the founding ancestor of the Qingyun Sect, the Great Emperor Qingyun.

When he first founded the Qingyun Sect, he personally crafted this for the Six Great Peaks.

As for Heavenly Dao Peak, being a later establishment, it doesn't have such a thing.

He was still indignant, feeling that Tian Dao Peak's lack of a Martial God Hall put it behind the Six Great Peaks.

Unfortunately, the Azure Cloud Old Ancestor died countless hundreds of years ago, making it utterly impossible to build another Martial God Hall for Tian Dao Peak.

Who would have thought, the system actually awarded a Martial God Hall.

"Good, good, fine, the system lives up to its reputation," Lin Yang praised.

【Splish splash water.】

……

Immediately.

Lin Yang waved his hand, and a building identical to the Six Great Peaks appeared—a five-story, five-layer Martial God Hall that sprang up from the ground.

Tall and mighty.

Murderous aura leaking.

Furthermore, after the system's prompts, Lin Yang also discovered that he could control the entire Martial God Hall.

For example, setting some rules and checkpoints and the like.

Thinking thus, he set a very tricky requirement on the Martial God Hall of Tian Dao Peak..........
