In the live broadcast room, many viewers were taken aback when they saw Lin Yu's answer.
Is that answer even possible?
It seemed that the live broadcast hadn't mentioned this disciple of Yu Xiaogang before, leading some to wonder if the answer to the question was not necessarily limited to characters featured in the broadcast. Perhaps it could encompass anyone relevant to the scope of the question.
Some, including Ning Fengzhi, began to ponder this possibility. If this were the case, Lin Yu's answer might indeed be correct.
Yu Xiaogang's actions throughout the broadcast revolved around proving his martial spirit theory and demonstrating that he was not a failure. Since he had abandoned the hope of evolving his martial spirit, he focused on proving himself through his theoretical work. Thus, someone who could validate his theory would indeed be of utmost importance to him.
But could this person hold more importance to him than Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, or even his parents?
As everyone considered Lin Yu's answer with mixed feelings, the live broadcast room finally displayed the result.
With a flash of crimson text and a cold, mechanical voice, the announcement came through:
[Ding! Notice: Lin Yu's answer—"The most important person in Yu Xiaogang's heart is the disciple who can help him prove his martial spirit theory"—is correct!]
[Reward: Random cultivation method x1, distribution completed!]
What?! It's correct!
Seeing the system's notification that Lin Yu's answer was right, countless viewers were stunned.
Suddenly, many thought about how Lin Yu had answered correctly in all four live broadcast quizzes, except for the second one answered correctly by Ning Fengzhi. It seemed Lin Yu was quite remarkable!
"Wow, this kid is incredible!"
Ning Fengzhi, observing the live broadcast in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, couldn't help but marvel at Lin Yu's achievements.
"This first wish reward—knowing the past, present, and future of the Douluo Continent—though limited, gives a huge advantage in subsequent questions! This wish was truly unexpected. Even I wouldn't have thought to wish for it, but it's indeed the most valuable."
"This kid Lin Yu is sharp-witted, and with this live quiz opportunity, he will surely soar in the future. Such a talent would be a tremendous asset to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!"
"We must find a way to recruit him. If successful, our clan would benefit immensely!"
Not only Ning Fengzhi but many other powers were also contemplating recruiting Lin Yu. Having answered correctly three times, Lin Yu had proven his worth. Some were interested in Lin Yu himself, while others were attracted by the cultivation method he might receive.
Even though soul bones and martial spirit evolution only benefit one person, a top-level meditation technique could benefit countless soul masters. Knowledge can be passed on!
[Ning Fengzhi (sincerely): @Lin Yu, congratulations Lin Yu! I wonder if you are considering joining a sect now. On behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, I assure you that we are not interested in your rewards. We simply wish for you to join. You would be our greatest asset, and if you join, I would take you as my disciple. You'd have unrestricted access to our two Title Douluos' guidance, as well as our clan's resources, including soul beast meats, precious herbs for cultivation, and soul spirit training facilities!]
After Lin Yu answered correctly, Ning Fengzhi posted a sincere recruitment offer in the live broadcast room.
[Bibi Dong (calmly): Haha, @Ning Sect Master, you're quick! @Lin Yu, we at the Spirit Hall also welcome your joining. I guarantee that no one will demand anything from you regarding the rewards you've earned. Furthermore, we can offer you even more resources for your development than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan!]
Seeing Bibi Dong also competing to recruit Lin Yu, Ning Fengzhi's face darkened slightly, though he had expected it.
[Dai Tianfeng (dismissively): Hmph! You all lack sincerity! @Lin Yu, little friend, join our Star Luo Royal Family! We can offer you the same resources as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and Spirit Hall. Moreover, if you join us, I will betroth one of my princesses to you, making you the Prince Consort of the Star Luo Empire with the honor of a Duke! Our princesses are all as beautiful as fairies!]
After Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong extended their recruitment offers, Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire also put forth his proposal, indicating that they could match the resources offered by the other two powers and even promised a marriage alliance with a princess.
Upon hearing Dai Tianfeng's offer, Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong's expressions became even more strained. Dai Tianfeng's offer was indeed more tempting.
After all, who could resist such a significant offer?
However, Lin Yu chose to decline all the recruitment offers.
[Lin Yu: @Ning Fengzhi, @Bibi Dong, @Dai Tianfeng, I apologize. Though I am grateful for the offers from you all, I am someone who values freedom and dislikes constraints. Therefore, I must respectfully decline your invitation. I hope you all understand!]
Though Lin Yu was tempted by the offers, especially Dai Tianfeng's proposal of marrying a princess, he preferred not to place his life and future in the hands of others. Despite the promises made by Ning Fengzhi, Bibi Dong, and Dai Tianfeng, Lin Yu didn't trust such promises.
Even if he intended to join a power, it would not be under his current "Lin Yu" identity, one that had just gained attention by answering three questions correctly.
As the saying goes: "When a tree stands out, the wind will inevitably blow it down."
So it goes.
