**Chapter 2764: I Advise You to Think Twice**

The silver tree sap exploded within his soul, and waves of mysterious power surged in, making his soul incredibly active.

The silver tree sap could enhance cultivation speed, and Lin Moyu had already tested it, finding that it could increase his speed by ten times.

The previously obscure and difficult-to-understand sounds of the Great Dao suddenly became simple and easy to comprehend.

His understanding of the secret technique was improving at an astonishing rate.

Lin Moyu’s rising speed suddenly accelerated, at least twice as fast as before.

While others were still descending, he was rising at an incredible speed, quickly widening the gap.

By the seventeenth minute, Lin Moyu’s height had already surpassed most of the prodigies, second only to those ranked in the top twenty.

Splash! Splash!

More and more prodigies fell into the water, being eliminated.

They were pushed to the shore by an invisible force, unable to move, unable to speak, and could only watch those still floating in the air. They became drenched losers.

To those still floating in the air, every one of them was a victor.

The faces of the prodigies who had fallen into the water were not looking good; they felt like they were being humiliated.

Every second felt like an eternity.

They saw Lin Moyu and were filled with disbelief.

"Why is a Heavenly Sovereign here?"

"He’s not a prodigy, just a small follower. Why is he listening to the Dao at the center of the lake?"

"What is happening? Am I seeing things? This can’t be real."

"Am I really inferior to a Heavenly Sovereign? I’m a prodigy, and he’s just a small Heavenly Sovereign."

"I remember him. He’s Lu Fengyao’s follower. Did Lu Fengyao give him special privileges?"

"It must be. This is the mall, Lu Fengyao’s territory. She must have given him special privileges."

These eliminated prodigies were shouting in their hearts, but they couldn’t speak, only exchanging glances.

From their eyes, it was clear how agitated they were.

Not only were they agitated, but even the Dao Sovereigns watching from the sky were unsettled.

Lin Moyu’s sudden acceleration surprised them.

"What happened? Why did his comprehension speed suddenly increase so much?"

"There must be some special method. Did he use some special means?"

"Don’t joke. In front of Senior Xiahhou, any special means would be useless."

"Then how do you explain this?"

"Why are you so anxious? If Senior Xiahhou isn’t worried, why should we be?"

The Dao Sovereigns looked at Senior Xiahhou. His aged face showed no special expression, as calm as ever.

The Dao Sovereigns felt disappointed. Senior Xiahhou’s reaction almost confirmed that Lin Moyu’s actions were legitimate.

Based on the current situation, as long as Lin Moyu could maintain this comprehension speed, he would surpass everyone else in a few minutes and claim the top spot.

The only issue now was Lin Moyu’s realm.

His realm determined that his soul power was insufficient. No matter how fast his comprehension, how strong his understanding, his soul power would be a limitation.

Senior Xiahhou’s heart was not as calm as his appearance.

"How did this kid do it?"

"I can’t see through him. How strange."

"What method could accelerate comprehension so much?"

Senior Xiahhou was very curious. Lin Moyu’s sudden increase in comprehension speed was clearly abnormal.

But he couldn’t see through Lin Moyu’s method and had to maintain his dignity, unable to admit he didn’t understand.

So he chose silence, pretending he understood.

At his level and status, dignity was paramount.

After studying for a while and still not understanding, Senior Xiahhou secretly contacted Lu Lian.

"Chief Steward Lu Lian, please ask the Third Ancestor to take a look for me!"

He knew Lu Lian was always present, observing everything, and the Third Ancestor must also be watching.

If he couldn’t see through it, perhaps the Third Ancestor could.

The Third Ancestor’s voice soon responded, "I don’t understand either. This kid has many secrets. You don’t need to understand everything."

Senior Xiahhou said, "I want to take him as my disciple. What does the Third Ancestor think?"

Lin Moyu had come with Lu Fengyao, so Senior Xiahhou instinctively thought Lin Moyu was part of the guild.

If he wanted to take Lin Moyu as a disciple, he naturally had to ask the Third Ancestor.

The Third Ancestor replied, "His name is Lin Moyu. He is not part of our guild. If you want to take him as a disciple, you can ask him yourself."

"But I don’t recommend taking him as a disciple, and he likely won’t agree."

Senior Xiahhou’s expression showed confusion, "Why?"

He didn’t understand. With his status, why wouldn’t he be qualified to be a master to a Heavenly Sovereign?

The Third Ancestor said, "He has many entanglements with various people, some of whom you wouldn’t want to meet, like the one in Thunder Mountain."

Senior Xiahhou was taken aback, "He has a connection with the one in Thunder Mountain?"

The Third Ancestor said, "I don’t know the specifics, but there is definitely a connection. He bears that person’s mark. He also has a special relationship with the Cold Water Holy Land."

"Moreover, his fortune is astonishingly strong. If you take him as a disciple, you’ll gain fortune but also bear the backlash of his fortune."

"We’ve known each other for many years. As an old friend, I advise you to think twice."

The Third Ancestor, as an old friend, advised Senior Xiahhou.

At their level, taking a disciple required careful consideration, not just based on talent.

Senior Xiahhou was silent for a moment before saying, "I understand. Thank you for the advice, Third Ancestor. But I have one more question."

"Please ask."

"What is Fengyao’s relationship with him? Are they...?"

Before he could finish, the Third Ancestor interrupted, "I don’t know. Whatever their relationship, it’s a matter of fate. I won’t interfere."

His meaning was clear: he wouldn’t matchmake or oppose, leaving it to fate.

Senior Xiahhou knew the Third Ancestor’s character. He had always been like this, believing in fate.

After hearing the Third Ancestor’s words, Senior Xiahhou had to reconsider whether to persist in his initial idea of taking Lin Moyu as a disciple.

The Third Ancestor’s words subtly suggested not to take him as a disciple.

"If he has a connection with the one in Thunder Mountain, what is it?"

"He shouldn’t be that person’s disciple. If he were, the Third Ancestor would have told me."

"What exactly is his relationship with the Cold Water Holy Land?"

"Vast fortune, significant entanglements, fortune backlash."

Senior Xiahhou thought for a moment and decided, "Forget it. I’ll wait until the Prodigy Gathering ends and see his performance."

He temporarily set aside the idea and continued to oversee the Prodigy Gathering.

Time passed, and some had stabilized their ascent, while more had fallen into the lake, becoming spectators.

By the end of the second ten-minute period, more than half of the prodigies had become spectators.
