Chapter 328: Entering the Wild Hall
After the three sects left, the remaining five sects shook their heads and returned to their places.
Liu Tong, seeing Lin Yan leave with his nemesis, Dao Sect, couldn't accept that he had been made a fool. He immediately roared in the direction Dao Sect had gone: "Dao Sect, this isn't over!"
The other four sects, seeing Liu Tong's reaction, couldn't help but laugh. After all, they had initially thought Lin Yan would join Yuan Gate, but it turned out he had only been toying with Liu Tong, which amused them all.
...
After arriving at Dao Sect, Lin Yan found himself being watched by many of the sect's martial artists.
The reason was that Lin Yan had flown in alongside Wu Dao, using his own energy to form a shape, which the disciples of Dao Sect had sensed from afar.
Then, they saw Wu Dao bringing a few new faces to Dao Sect.
When they noticed these new faces beside Wu Dao, everyone was slightly surprised, especially since the Hundred Dynasty War hadn't even ended yet...
After bringing Lin Yan in, Wu Dao addressed all the disciples: "This is the champion we selected from the Hundred Dynasty War this time."
"The reason it's an exception is that this young man broke through several levels during the war, advancing six levels to reach the Profound Life Realm!"
"Wow!"
Upon hearing this, all the Dao Sect disciples were in an uproar, and someone immediately asked:
"That powerful aura just now... could it have come from him?"
Wu Dao nodded and said, "That's right, it was him. His name is Lin Yan."
At this, everyone was stunned. "What? How old is he? The Profound Life Realm? Isn't that the same as Teacher Wu Dao?"
"Yeah, yeah, this guy is terrifying! Breaking through and advancing six levels during the Hundred Dynasty War!"
"It looks like the strongest disciple in Dao Sect is now him! Such talent is truly rare!"
Lin Yan listened to their discussions without feeling proud. He stood quietly beside Wu Dao.
After hearing these comments, Wu Dao said, "Alright, kids, let me tell you something."
"As promised, the Dan River that converges once every ten years in our Dao Sect will be given to the champion who joins Dao Sect."
"Now, this young man is our champion, and he's recognized by all eight sects!"
"So, this Dan River will be given to this year's champion, Lin Yan!"
Upon hearing this, no one dared to object. After all, with Lin Yan's level, no one could defeat him!
Seeing that none of the disciples objected, Wu Dao said, "Since no one objects, let's congratulate Lin Yan!"
"Wow!"
After Wu Dao's words, all the disciples applauded and cheered.
Even though they couldn't beat Lin Yan, they could learn something from sparring with him, which was a good thing for them.
After receiving the Dan River, Lin Yan cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, senior brothers! I am Lin Yan, and I hope you will look after me in the future!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked. They didn't expect someone with such a high level to be so polite!
This made all the disciples present have a good impression of Lin Yan.
After all, they had seen many powerful martial artists, but most of them bullied others with their strength and had no manners at all.
But Lin Yan was different; he was not only strong but also very polite.
Seeing Lin Yan speak this way, Wu Dao smiled and nodded, then said to Lin Yan, "After joining Dao Sect, the disciples must choose one of the four halls."
With that, he took Lin Yan to a large hall. Inside, three figures sat on the top chairs, while dozens of figures stood below.
When they saw Wu Dao enter, they respectfully greeted him: "Greetings, Deputy Hall Master of the Wild Hall!"
Wu Dao said to Lin Yan, "These three are the Hall Masters of the Heaven Hall, the Earth Hall, and the Flood Hall."
Lin Yan nodded, and his gaze swept over the three of them.
They, in turn, looked at Lin Yan, but after sensing his aura, they were all stunned.
"The Profound Life Realm? How is that possible? How can such a young boy be in the Profound Life Realm?!"
The person sitting at the top exclaimed.
Hearing this, all the disciples in the hall were shocked.
Wu Dao, however, looked proudly at the three sitting at the top.
He then said to Lin Yan, "This is where the four halls select their disciples."
Lin Yan naturally knew what the four halls represented. Without waiting for Wu Dao to introduce them, he said, "I choose to join the Wild Hall."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned, including Wu Dao.
The three Hall Masters were dumbfounded when they heard that Lin Yan intended to join the Wild Hall!
"Child, think it over. The Wild Hall is the weakest right now. If you go there, you won't learn anything worthwhile!" said the Heaven Hall Master.
Wu Dao also looked at Lin Yan, but Lin Yan firmly repeated, "I choose to join the Wild Hall."
Hearing this, Wu Dao looked at Lin Yan. After seeing the unwavering determination in Lin Yan's eyes, he smiled and said:
"Alright, alright. Since you intend to enter the Wild Hall, I don't mind having one more chief disciple."
The words "chief disciple" left everyone present in shock!
No one expected that Lin Yan, after just joining, would receive the Dan River that converges once every ten years and be accepted as Wu Dao's chief disciple!
The position of chief disciple is just below someone like Wu Dao.
"Master Wu Dao, are you serious? Even though his level is high, he hasn't shown any abilities yet. How can you directly make him your chief disciple?"
Lin Yan looked at the person who spoke and immediately recognized him. He was Jiang Hao, the one who had tried to stop Lin Dong from becoming a personal disciple in the original story.
Wu Dao responded, "My decision is final. That's that!"
With that, Wu Dao took Lin Yan to the Wild Hall.
Leaving behind the stunned Hall Masters and dozens of disciples.
On the way, Wu Dao saw in Lin Yan the image of their once-talented disciple, Zhou Tong.
Back then, Zhou Tong wasn't just the strongest disciple in Dao Sect; he had single-handedly slain three elders of Yuan Gate.
But unfortunately, he was later captured and killed by Yuan Gate.
This is also why Yuan Gate and Dao Sect aren't on good terms now.
Thinking of this, Wu Dao shook his head. After a while, Wu Dao brought Lin Yan to the Wild Hall.
In the Wild Hall, Lin Yan saw the Dan River that gathers once every ten years, as they had mentioned.
The Dan River flowed from above, winding downwards, with several cultivation platforms at its end.
As soon as Lin Yan arrived at the Wild Hall, the system's voice rang out.
Then, Lin Yan heard the system's message:
Ding!
Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in at Dao Sect's Wild Hall!
Reward received: Divine-Grade Cultivation Pill!
Reward Description: After taking this pill, your cultivation speed and level will greatly increase over the next week!
Hearing this, Lin Yan was overjoyed. "This system really knows what it's doing."
"It looks like I can use this pill to boost my speed when I cultivate in the Dan River."
