Chapter 2 - Chapter Two: The Youngest Royal Duke Elder!

After the Sect Master of Shentian Sect took his seat, discussions gradually increased below.

"Wow! Is that the Sect Master of Shentian Sect? With the peak strength of the Royal Duke realm, he's virtually unmatched in the entire Mystic Heaven Realm, except for Kings Realm experts, right?"

A youth from a main city exclaimed, witnessing such a scene for the first time. In their region, Nascent Spirit Realm was already considered powerful, but in Shentian Sect, such strength was barely noteworthy.

"Yeah! It would be amazing to become the Sect Master's disciple!"

Other youths from distant regions who came to Shentian Sect couldn't help but daydream. Being the disciple of the Sect Master would mean being a peak Royal Duke disciple, equivalent to soaring to the sky. However, becoming the Sect Master's disciple wouldn't be easy.

"Don't you guys know that the Sect Master of Shentian Sect is not accepting disciples this year?"

Another person spoke, seeming to know more about Shentian Sect than the other youths.

"The Sect Master isn't accepting disciples?"

For some reason, upon hearing this news, they felt a hint of relief, as they didn't have the qualifications to be personally chosen by the Sect Master anyway.

Then the person continued, "But the focus of everyone's attention this time is the young elder. If we could become his disciples..."

Surrounding individuals could see hope and anticipation in his eyes.

"The young elder?"

People looked slightly surprised.

They had already noticed the young and imposing figure sitting on the high platform, wondering about his identity. After all, he sat alongside the other elders, and this seating arrangement was second only to the Sect Master's! His elevated status within Shentian Sect was evident.

But they didn't expect him to be an elder, and from the looks of it, an inner sect elder!

That's a Royal Duke realm expert!

At this moment, even if they were naive, they understood the meaning behind the previous person's words. Such a young Royal Duke realm elder had a high possibility of becoming the next Sect Master after the current Sect Master Shen Wufeng stepped down.

If the Sect Master wasn't accepting disciples this time, becoming the disciple of this young Royal Duke realm elder might be the best choice!

No wonder so many people were silently observing his actions just now.

Thinking about this, the gaze of these youths turned toward the young elder, Lin Xuan!

"Elder Lin Xuan, with so many disciples, is there none that catches your eye?"

Elder Sun, from the inner sect, was a bit puzzled as Lin Xuan didn't respond for a long time.

Perhaps, in the past, Lin Xuan might have accepted a disciple with decent talent and a pleasing appearance.

However, now that he had activated the system, things couldn't be that simple.

His goal in accepting disciples now wasn't for passing on the sect's heritage, but rather to make himself stronger. If he accepted a disciple with lower talent than him, what would be the point?

Though he didn't know if there was a limit to the number of disciples the system could handle, Lin Xuan wasn't inclined to accept disciples recklessly.

Even though the testing hadn't started yet, his gaze swept over all the disciples on the square. Their talents were already presented before him.

"Innate Fire Spirit Body..."

"Innate Water Spirit Body..."

"Mysterious Yin Body..."

Among them were quite a few with innate spirit bodies, and their eyes carried a sense of pride. Understandably so, as they could be considered top talents in their respective families, receiving exceptional treatment from a young age. Even at the disciple recruitment ceremony of Shentian Sect, they stood out remarkably.

After all, those with innate bodies were almost certain to reach the Spirit Sea Realm, becoming formidable figures. Even someone like Lin Xuan, a Royal Duke realm expert, might achieve this with the right opportunity.

Some of them even seemed to assume that Lin Xuan would inevitably take them as disciples.

However, what surprised them was that Lin Xuan's gaze only lingered on them briefly before moving on. Could there be someone with even stronger talent than these innate bodies? They were inwardly puzzled.

Physical aptitude often matched the outer demeanor. They hadn't seen anyone with a more powerful talent than these innate bodies in this place.

In fact, for Lin Xuan, it wasn't that these people's talents weren't strong; it was just that, under his disciple-recruiting system, there was no meaning in accepting them.

...

While the disciple recruitment ceremony of Shentian Sect was underway, at this moment, about a hundred miles away from Shentian Sect, a playful-looking youth was sprinting towards the sect at high speed. Despite his small stature, determination shone in his expression. It was hard to imagine that such a little child dared to come alone to this wilderness full of demonic beasts. The reason he was late was mainly due to the remoteness of his village from Shentian Sect, and along the way, he encountered several demonic beasts hindering his progress.

I am going to go much further ahead with the story on my patreon, so if you could support me there please go to https://patreon.com/MangaTacos

I also have plans to turn this into a manhua which I will be funding with the monthly donations I get from Patreon. My goal is to reach about 100 patrons to get the artist started. The more patrons I get, the more artists I will be able to hire and get the story into a manhua much quicker.

I am also writing a light novel series which is more of a Shounen style story. I hope to see you all there!
