Chapter 116: Spirit Master, Devouring Ancestral Symbols
In response to Lin Yan's request, Master Yan naturally wouldn't refuse. Regardless of the current situation where Master Yan had a favor to ask of Lin Yan, based on their relationship alone, he would have been straightforward in answering any questions Lin Yan had.
So, after hearing Lin Yan's words, Master Yan quickly nodded and said, "That's certainly not a problem."
"After reaching the level of a Five-Seal Symbol Master, one is referred to as a Spirit Master. At this stage, the Ancestral Symbols possess spirituality. Individuals at this level possess immense power; a mere thought can move mountains and seas. In battle, with a single thought, they can move even mountains," Master Yan explained carefully to Lin Yan and Lin Dong, sharing all the information he knew with them.
Upon hearing Master Yan's explanation, both Lin Yan and Lin Dong showed signs of amazement on their faces. Lin Dong was simply shocked by the power of a Spirit Master, while Lin Yan began to estimate what level of strength a Spirit Master would equate to in the context of the continent of fighting qi.
"A mere thought can move mountains and seas." Such abilities were far from simple. No matter how you looked at it, it would definitely surpass that of a Fighting King.
"Hehe, I've gone off on a tangent," Master Yan chuckled as Lin Yan was silently assessing the situation.
Lin Yan glanced at Master Yan, expecting him to get to the point.
"Young friend, have you heard of the Symbolist Association?" Master Yan soon turned the conversation and asked Lin Yan.
Lin Yan shook his head in response, prompting Master Yan to patiently explain, "It's an organization of symbolists gathered together. Every slightly larger city has its own Symbolist Association, and Flame City is no exception."
"And I am the president of our Flame City's Symbolist Association."
"While most people are aware of the three major forces in Flame City, they are unaware that our symbolists are not inferior to them in strength. However, the Symbolist Association does not have a hierarchical system like theirs. It is relatively loosely managed and operates discreetly, so it's not as well-known."
Lin Yan nodded in understanding as Master Yan continued, "Since you haven't heard of the Symbolist Association, I assume you're also unfamiliar with the Symbolist Tower?"
"The Symbolist Tower is a peculiar tower condensed by the spiritual power of many ancestors of symbolists. This tower has the miraculous effect of tempering spiritual power. Similarly, within our Flame City Symbolist Association, there is also a Symbolist Tower, the result of nearly a hundred years of effort by the ancestors of Flame City."
Master Yan's eyes lit up with excitement as he spoke of the Symbolist Tower, but it quickly turned bitter.
"However..."
"The Symbolist Tower provides tremendous assistance to the symbolists of a city, essentially serving as a holy place in the hearts of many symbolists."
"But some cities have it, while others don't, leading to a sense of imbalance and trouble."
"For example, forcibly seizing the Symbolist Tower has happened quite a few times in the past. Although it was stopped with the intervention of various parties and even the dynasty, it gave birth to a new rule, the Tower Battle."
"This involves the younger generation of symbolists from two cities engaging in combat."
"The rule is that a city without a Symbolist Tower challenges a city with one. If they can win for three consecutive years, they can obtain the Symbolist Tower."
Master Yan explained the rules continuously.
As for Lin Dong, he couldn't help but ask Master Yan, "So, how's Flame City doing now?"
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Master Yan's face because Flame City's performance was indeed not very good.
"We've lost twice already."
"If we lose again, Flame City will have to hand over the Symbolist Tower to our challenger, Tianhuo City."
Lin Yan and Lin Dong completely understood Master Yan's meaning.
So Lin Yan grinned and asked Master Yan, "So, you're suggesting that we represent Flame City?"
Master Yan nodded heavily, then stared at Lin Yan's face, asking, "What do you two think?"
As always, Lin Dong remained silent, leaving the decision to Lin Yan. If he said yes, Lin Dong would immediately agree. If Lin Yan said no, not even the gods could change Lin Dong's mind. So the outcome depended entirely on Lin Yan.
Master Yan also noticed Lin Dong's attitude and quickly focused his gaze on Lin Yan.
Lin Yan just smiled and said, "Rest assured, Master Yan, we'll help with this favor."
"I keep my promises. As long as it's within our capabilities, we won't refuse."
Master Yan was overjoyed on the spot, and his grateful gaze towards Lin Yan became quite evident.
After all, this matter was extremely important to the symbolists of Flame City, and Lin Yan's immediate agreement to help without any requests made beforehand was unexpected for Master Yan. Therefore, at this moment, when he looked at Lin Yan, his gaze was genuinely appreciative. He sincerely felt that Lin Yan was a reliable person.
"In that case, I'll thank you here, young friend," Master Yan said with a smile to Lin Yan.
Then, he even went on to paint a rosy picture for the two of them.
"But young friends, actually participating in this Symbolist Tower will also bring considerable benefits to you."
"Because the Symbolist Tower itself has the miraculous effect of tempering spiritual power. The Symbolist Tower is divided into nine levels, and with each level ascended, the tempering becomes stronger. If you can reach the seventh level and persevere for ten days inside, within half a year, you will definitely break through to become a Three-Seal Symbol Master."
"Furthermore, if you can ascend to the eighth level, it is said that there is a spiritual technique left behind by a senior hidden inside."
Master Yan continued to speak, intending to attract Lin Yan and Lin Dong to participate in the Symbolist Tower. Unexpectedly, Lin Yan's immediate acceptance made Master Yan's preparations somewhat redundant.
"Don't worry, Master Yan, since we agreed to help you, we'll do our best."
"As for these opportunities, it depends on fate. You can't force them."
Lin Yan saw through Master Yan's intentions with a single glance and smiled as he spoke to him.
Master Yan could only let out a bitter smile.
In the eyes of a clever person like Lin Yan, his little schemes seemed rather clumsy.
Lin Yan smiled and said no more.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered something.
It seemed that the clues about devouring the ancestral symbols were also within this Symbolist Tower.
