1462 Challenge (1)
The high-ranked were all present, the middle-ranked took nearly half the hall, and millions of disciples were present. The entire Sacred Hall Arena was filled with a vast wood aura, making the entire scene look warm and holy.
However, the most eye-catching one in this Great Sect Assembly was the Heavenhold Realm King. She was beautiful like a fairy, as though she was carved from ice jade. However, everyone could feel a bone-piercing cold intent under her gaze, causing them to lower their head.
Within the Heavenhold Realm, she could determine anyone's life and death. Even Tian Hualing, who stayed beside her for years, still couldn't look at her directly for too long.
After Tian Hualing personally read the decision of Tian Yuhan from seven days ago and the direct disciple degree, Yun Lintian slowly walked forward under the various different gazes of everyone present. He arrived before the Heavenhold Realm King and bowed solemnly.
"Lin Tian, even though your current profound strength is low, you possess an exceptional physique and an extraordinary talent. Your future is limitless."
When the Heavenhold Realm King spoke, everyone within the Sacred Hall listened attentively. "Today, this king shall take you in as my direct disciple and grant you the title of a true successor. You'll have to follow the rules strictly and practice Heavenhold Profound Arts diligently. If you are to slack off, this king shall personally deliver your punishment."
"Yes." Yun Lintian's face was stern as he recalled what Tian Hualing had told him. "This disciple shall live up to his talent and not let Master or the sect down."
"Pay your respects!" Tian Hualing echoed loudly, and everyone quickly followed.
Everyone's gaze was fixated on Yun Lintian, watching him perform the discipleship ceremony with Tian Yuhan. Envy, jealousy, shock, and disbelief were written on their faces. They strongly believed that the direct disciple would either be Tian Feng or Tian Xue. No one would've imagined that it would be a random man who was only at the second level of the Divine Spirit Realm.
Yun Lintian served tea and paid respect to Tian Yuhan, worshipping her as his master.
At this moment, Tian Shaoqing stepped forward and bowed deeply. "Sect Master, this servant has something to say."
Tian Yuhan looked at Tian Shaoqing calmly and asked. "Are you questioning my decision?"
Although her voice was plain, it brought tremendous pressure upon Tian Shaoqing, causing him to lower his head further.
"Of course not. This servant has no other intention except to ask Sect Master for a chance to witness Young Disciple Lin Tian's strength. I believe that many people here want to see it as well." Tian Shaoqing said respectfully. "At the same time, we all know that our disciples have been working hard to get into Sect Master's eyes these years. Please give them a chance to display their hard work."
Tian Yuhan swept her gaze over everyone in the hall and asked. "What do you all think?"
"This servant has the same opinion as Peak Master Shaoqing." Another peak master stepped out and said respectfully.
"Me too. This servant begs Sect Master, please give our disciples a chance."
Many high-ranked people stepped out to support Tian Shaoqing one after the other.
Tian Yuhan nodded gently. "Since that's the case, I will grant your wish. How do you want to settle this?"
Tian Shaoqing exchanged glances with the other peak masters before saying. "I thank Sect Master on everyone's behalf. We have two outstanding disciples in, Tian Feng and Tian Xue. In order to let them display their hard work, how about we allow them to exchange pointers?"
Everyone in the hall agreed with Tian Shaoqing's proposal. This was what they wanted to see from the beginning. Although they heard the rumor that Yun Lintian had defeated Tian Jia, no one believed it. After all, Tian Jia's strength was evident to all. That was the former Supreme Elder's candidate. How could she lose to a junior like Yun Lintian?
Unfortunately, they didn't know that Tian Jia was the one who concealed the truth about the incident back then. She told Tian Ren and Tian Shan to shut up about this matter, and Tian Hualing had no reason to tell anyone about it. Except for Tian Xiaoli, who used her channel to find the truth, no one knew clearly what happened that day.
Tian Yuhan glanced at Tian Feng and Tian Xue. "What about you two? You can tell me directly if you don't want it. No one here dares to force you."
"I am willing, Sect Master." Tian Feng stepped out and bowed deeply. "Please let me show you my progress here."
Tian Xue had also stepped out and bowed deeply. "I hope Sect Master grants us this opportunity."
Tian Yuhan took a deep look at them and said calmly. "I will grant you two this opportunity. However, you should prepare for the worst."
"Disciples thank Sect Master." Tian Feng and Tian Xue replied in unison.
Tian Shaoqing told everyone to step aside, leaving a vacant space in the hall's center and setting up a protective formation.
"Who wants to come first?" Tian Shaoqing looked at Tian Feng and Tian Xue.
"Let me come first." Tian Feng glanced at Tian Xue and said.
Tian Xue naturally had no objection and returned to Tian Xiaoli's side.
Tian Feng calmly stepped into the arena and looked at Yun Lintian calmly. "Please."
Yun Lintian watched as the entire process folded with a helpless sigh in his heart.
"Go, Tian'er. Just don't kill him." Tian Yuhan said calmly, making Yun Lintian's face twitch. Obviously, she wanted him to offend everyone more.
Yun Lintian jumped into the arena and said. "Please advise me."
Tian Feng shook his head and said. "I don't dare to give Junior Brother Lin advice. How about this? Since my profound realm is higher than yours, I will let you make two moves first. I can also suppress my strength to the same realm as you. Junior Brother Lin can decide it."
Tian Feng's action won many people's approval. In any case, Tian Feng had already reached the peak of the Divine Transformation Realm—a half step away from becoming a Divine King, it would be inappropriate to attack him with such a huge advantage.
Tian Hualing glanced at Tian Feng and shook her head inwardly. He might look polite on the surface, but she knew he was arrogant to the bone.
"No need. You can make a move now. Remember to use everything you have." Yun Lintian shook his head and said calmly.
