On the main viewing platform, Ye Qinghou’s gaze towards Yun Qingwan had already changed. His gaze was burning, pondering secretly. "Heavens bless my Sword Saint Mountain, finally a True Phoenix is born!" After a long time, Ye Qinghou exhaled a long breath, exclaiming with amazement, his face filled with pride and excitement. "Indeed, a Blue Grade talent is top-notch even in Central Continent! If she can pass Wuyou Road in the future, she can enter Tongtian Academy!" Situ Han nodded repeatedly, looking at Yun Qingwan’s retreating figure with full admiration. "In the past, Qian Li entering Tongtian Academy was a stroke of luck. In the future, crossing Wuyou Road, I would also need to ask for your guidance on this Yun Qingwan!" Ye Qinghou turned, slightly bowing to Situ Han, speaking respectfully. "Haha... easily done!" Situ Han clapped and laughed, then paused slightly, his eyes burning as he said, "However, I wonder if the Ye Family Master could part with her, letting this old man take the young girl as a disciple? In the future, your Sword Saint Mountain and my Star Mountain would become familial allies, which also brings more benefits to your Sword Saint Mountain!" Upon hearing this, Ye Qinghou’s face slightly changed. The other high-ranking members of the various sects on Sword Saint Mountain also had peculiar expressions on their faces. After all, such a terrifyingly talented younger generation, they wanted to stay in Sword Saint Mountain and train personally. If she could rise, it would be Sword Saint Mountain’s hope to ascend further. Then, they could stand on equal footing with Star Mountain. But with Situ Han speaking, they dared not refuse. Ye Qinghou hesitated for a long time, finally only able to smile wryly, "Senior Situ, her being taken as your disciple is her good fortune, and with your guidance, her future achievements would not be ordinary! However, this should depend on Yun Qingwan’s own opinion. If she agrees, we have nothing to say!" Situ Han, in great spirits, nodded and replied with a smile. However, Ji Xiaoyao, watching Yun Qingwan’s back, lightly bit her lip, feelings complicated, with some dissatisfaction and some jealousy, full of mixed emotions. Yun Qingwan ignored the reactions of everyone present, she ran back to Lin Tian cheerfully, knelt on the ground before Lin Tian, and said excitedly, "Second Master, I really did it, I got first in the test!" "Why are you kneeling, get up quickly!" Lin Tian gently helped Yun Qingwan up. Meanwhile, Ye Lan and others were already at a loss from excitement, looking at Yun Qingwan as if she were a treasure. At the same time, Ye Lan repeatedly thanked Lin Tian. Was it this young man who guided her? But talent, how can it be guided! Seeing this, many people were a bit surprised. Previously mocking Lin Tian and Yun Qingwan on the side, those people were now silent. "This young man is remarkable!" On the main platform, Situ Han’s gaze landed on Lin Tian, nodding, "Without cultivation themselves, but has first-class potential as a Guiding Master!" "Was it this young man’s guidance that allowed Yun Qingwan to explode with talent?" Ye Qinghou’s face was full of surprise, exclaiming in shock. Beside him, Ye Qianli’s face sank, hesitant to speak. "Ancestor, was it all because of Lin Tian?" Ji Xiaoyao pouted, dissatisfied. "Of course not! He just provided some advice, but in cultivation theory, he should have his own insights!" Situ Han shook his head, saying, "In essence, Yun Qingwan has an innate strong talent, it just wasn’t discovered!" Hearing this, Ji Xiaoyao slightly sighed in relief, but Ye Qinghou and others’ faces were somewhat awkward. Previously, they thought Yun Qingwan’s talent was fake. It turns out they almost buried a peerless genius! Lin Tian helped Yun Qingwan up, smiling as he said, "Remember what Second Master says, before you truly rise, so-called talent is all fleeting, it doesn’t represent everything! What truly matters is your Dao Heart! Moreover, you still need to participate in arena matches subsequently, which is the true test for you. If in the future, your cultivation and practice don’t match your talent, that’s essentially a waste, you’ll not go far, and ultimately fall!" These words from Lin Tian were extremely earnest, like a great bell and drum, directly striking Yun Qingwan’s heart, making her whole body tremble, the excitement on her face restrained, her expression becoming solemn. She clenched her fists, nodding vigorously, "Second Master, I understand!" Sitting beside, Ye Lan, contemplated Lin Tian’s words secretly. Others on the viewing platform were momentarily stunned. "Right, she’s just talented in tests, doesn’t mean she’ll excel in cultivation or battle!" "This young man finally spoke sensibly, if her cultivation doesn’t progress, or she’s poor in actual combat, she’ll eventually fall and wither!" "Exactly, comprehension tests don’t represent everything! Maybe she’ll still not exceed us later..." Many younger generation disciples were discussing fervently because of Lin Tian’s words. Hearing this, Bu Sheng and others’ expressions slightly eased. "Let’s move on to the next stage!" On the main platform, Ye Qinghou beckoned to Huang Jian Sheng. Just as his words fell, Situ Han spoke, "Continuing the test? Too much can unsettle these young ones’ minds! Better to directly enter the mixed battle elimination and draw lots for elimination?" Hearing this, Ye Qinghou was taken aback, then responded, and turned to give orders to Huang Jian Sheng. Huang Jian Sheng understood, turned to the crowd below, announcing loudly, "Due to some special reasons, there will be no secondary comprehension test elimination but will proceed directly to arena mixed battle elimination!" This is great! After all, comprehension is temporary, while real battle is the ultimate test of one’s talent! Many people below were buzzing, especially the younger generation, faces filled with excitement. "Of the previous comprehension test, there were a total of one thousand participants, excluding those eliminated, Eastern Emperor Pillar No. 1 remains 120, No. 2 remains 135, No. 3 remains 110, No. 4 remains 140!" Huang Jian Sheng signaled for quiet, and continued, "These people will step onto four arenas for a mixed battle! The rule is simple, when there are only fifty left on each arena, you who remain standing are qualified for the top two hundred! Our Sword Saint Mountain will consider recruiting you as a Registered Disciple based on your comprehension and cultivation! But remember, though arena battle can be fierce, avoid taking lives! If anyone acts with deadly intent, severe consequences will follow!" "You have a quarter hour to prepare!" Upon these words, those who advanced from the comprehension test showed serious expressions and began meditating to adjust their breathing. As for the impact Yun Qingwan had earlier, it gradually subsided. "Little wretch, wait, I’ll be the first to kick you off the stage in the arena! Comprehension... hmpf, useless if you can’t use it!" ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net Wu Danhong glanced fiercely at where Yun Qingwan was, plotting inwardly. At this moment, Lin Tian turned again to Yun Qingwan, "Qingwan, I said before, I would teach you two sets of combat techniques, one for offense and one for defense. Now I’ll recite the spells, you have only a quarter hour!" Yun Qingwan’s beautiful eyes lit up, nodding heavily, she began listening intently. Soon, a quarter hour passed. The giant arena in the middle of the platform emitted a loud ring. The originally vast arena split itself into four parts, becoming four fan-shaped arenas. This scene left the younger disciples, who had never been here before, amazed and full of wonder.
