Only one of those 22 people still had clear eyes: Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao had never believed that he was worse than anyone else, especially, after obtaining the Landscape Martial Soul.
Those geniuses who had once been out of his reach were thrown behind him.
“Being able to reach here is already enough for you all to be proud. You 22 people, regardless of whether you can become Great Master’s disciple, will all receive a Quasi-Transcendent Martial Art as a reward that you can choose freely.”
White Cloud White Cloud Temple Master Yinran Zhenren smiled and said: “Then everyone, please follow me to the True Spirit Hall.”
“Senior Brother, this time, more people than ever are entering the True Spirit Hall. In our time, I remember that only three were able to survive until the end.”
Lin Ze looked at Yiran Zhenren with a smile.
“Mmm, you are right. The current youths are truly much better than we used to be, but when the three of us entered, no one was selected as a true disciple of the Great Master. We all became simple entry disciples.”
White Cloud Temple Master nodded before suddenly shaking his head again, feeling somewhat disappointed.
From this point, it could be seen that becoming a true disciple of White Cloud Great Master was truly extraordinary.
“Humph, just being able to become an entry disciple is pretty good.”
Wan Ben snorted.
For the greater part of his life, he had held power and influence, but he still couldn’t let go of the fact that he had failed to become White Cloud Great Master’s true disciple.
This was his sore point.
Returning to the main topic, the reason his life had experienced such a huge change and he had become the current White Cloud Governor from being an ordinary disciple of a small clan was inextricably linked with his becoming an entry disciple of White Cloud Great Master.
It was already like this for an entry disciple, so it was truly hard to imagine the future prospects of a true disciple.
White Cloud Great Master’s other three true disciples had already all advanced to the Transcendent Realm, but they didn’t know whether it was true.
Following White Cloud Temple Master through a garden, everyone arrived at the so-called True Spirit Hall.
According to legend, White Cloud Great Master had received enlightenment here and finally broken through his shackles, advancing to the Transcendent Realm.
This True Spirit Hall had obviously been repaired, so it looked truly imposing as the most conspicuous building within White Cloud Temple.
Outside True Spirit Hall, White Cloud Temple Master cupped his hands and sai,: “Teacher, this time, 22 people broke through the three passes. Please give us instructions, Teacher.”
“Come in.”
This voice was very amiable, making people feel like a kind grandfather was speaking. There was not even a hint of arrogance nor coercion in his voice, but it still made everyone feel a huge pressure.
This power and momentum was not a pretense but a manifestation of his strength.
Even if a transcendent martial artist looked like an ordinary old man, anyone who knew his strength absolutely wouldn’t dare to be impudent in front of him.
Ling Xiao took a deep breath, before lifting his feet and following everyone inside.
At that moment, an ice-cold voice resounded in his ears, “Ling Xiao, you killed my brother. I’ll settle this debt of blood with you sooner or later!”
Fei Yu?
“Humph, so what if I killed your brother? You all killed hundreds upon hundreds of Ling Clan’s people; moreover, you slaughtered countless human martial artists. How will you calculate this debt of blood?”
Ling Xiao snorted, directly secretly transmitting his voice.
In any case, this kind of skill was naturally learned after becoming a Martial Master.
“Let’s see who will die first!”
Because they were in the True Spirit Hall, Fei Yu didn’t dare to say anything more. He closed his mouth and walked inside.
Ling Xiao also didn’t continue arguing. After all, in front of a transcendent martial artist, you might not be able to hide anything.
He had already decided to not use the Landscape Martial Soul no matter what happened.
This was his most valuable treasure, the key to his success, so he absolutely must not reveal it until the day he had sufficient strength to protect himself.
Those 22 young martial artists were similar to Ling Xiao. Perhaps, they might be even more nervous.
Even Lin Ze, Wan Ben, and White Cloud Temple Master looked serious and didn’t dare to chat.
However, Zuo Leng and Ming Tian were still chatting and laughing.
A true disciple was a true disciple, and their treatment was naturally different.
“That’s White Cloud Great Master?”
Someone exclaimed.
White Cloud Great Master was totally different from what they had imagined.
In their imagination, White Cloud Great Master was extraordinary and majestic with the bearing of a great expert.
In reality, White Cloud Great Master was dressed like a farmer. He was even trimming a strange flower.
This plant had seven blooming flowers that were all translucent as crystals.
The bottom of White Cloud Great Master’s trousers was rolled up, and his top also resembled the clothing of an old villager. On his head, he wore a straw hat, and he held a tobacco pipe in his mouth.
“Shut up! Do you dare to doubt White Cloud Great Master?”
Wan Ben snorted and nearly swatted that youth to death.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, White Cloud Great Master blew out a smoke ring, which easily stopped Wan Ben.
“They are all good children, so there is no need to fight. What can I, this old man be regarded as? In your eyes, transcendents are invincible, but when you truly reach my realm, you will understand that I am simply not worth mentioning.”
White Cloud Great Master smiled, put down the scissors in his hand, walked over, and knocked the tobacco pipe against a wall to empty it before putting it into his storage ring.
“Great Master, you are modest.”
Wan Ben said.
“Modest?”
White Cloud Great Master smiled but didn’t refute him. He then looked at the 22 youths standing below.
“I select disciples regardless of what race you belong to. I don’t care whether you are of the Human Race, Ren Race, or Blue Eyed Race. In the end, all are just inferior races. Therefore, you all don’t need to worry about your origins. As long as you have sufficient talent and potential, you can become my disciple.”
While speaking, his eyes quickly scanned through these 22 young martial artists.
Other than Ling Xiao, everyone else felt like they had been electrocuted. Their souls violently fluctuated, and their minds turned blank.
Fortunately, White Cloud Great Master had no intention to harm them; otherwise, no one would have survived.
“Mmm?”
White Cloud Great Master’s gaze focused on Ling Yixue and he commented, “I never thought that I would truly meet this kind of genius. It’s interesting.”
“Teacher, did you discover a promising youth?”
Lin Ze and Wan Be asked in unison.
“Mmm, regrettably, there is only one who is qualified to become my true disciple.”
White Cloud Great Master sighed.
What!
Hearing his words, these 22 people who were full of confidence were shocked.
They were even somewhat angry.
“Teacher’s words naturally can’t be wrong.”
No one dared to doubt White Cloud Great Master’s foresight. At a glance, he was clear about how talented these people were.
“Okay, you all don’t need to flatter me. I’m already old, and there are times when I have misjudged. Therefore, let ‘Seven Start Flower’ prove it.”
White Cloud Great Master was prudent. After all, he still wanted to select true disciples, so he didn’t eliminate everyone from a glance.
He still had a glimmer of hope for these children.
