Chapter 1997 - 1994: Peak Master
"What you have, I possess. What you lack, I also possess. How can you help him become a great power swiftly?"
On the other side, the Third Elder also let out a cold snort.
He then said, "Join under my tutelage, you will definitely not regret it."
The two elders started to quarrel, each standing against the other.
The atmosphere in the field grew increasingly intense; other elders, upon seeing the Third Elder and the Blue Robed Elder arguing, decided to give up.
They simply couldn’t compete against these two.
Sighing and shaking their heads, all they could do was watch the contest unfold with a spectator’s mindset.
"Third Brother, you’re too domineering, claiming I lack anything." The Blue Robed Elder protested.
"Your disciple slots are already full, what’s there to argue about?"
"Old Five, you can’t say that. Any genius like this would be desired by everyone."
"Since both you and I want him, why don’t we compete?"
"Alright, I’ll do it, who’s afraid of who?"
The Blue Robed Elder also rolled up his sleeves.
Their auras continued to peak, like two invisible mountains colliding in the air, producing a clanging sound.
Above the Blue Robed Elder’s head emerged a great river, seeming like the Tianhe, rolling and sweeping in all directions.
The Third Elder was enveloped in Buddha light, radiating a glaze-colored aura, resembling a powerful Buddha.
"Today, with two guardians present, let’s have them witness who will ultimately be victorious between us."
The voice of the Third Elder rang out, while the glaze light on him grew increasingly resplendent.
Humph!
The Blue Robed Elder snorted coldly, with the Tianhe rushing above his head, encircling his body like a radiant heavenly snake.
"Alright, you two shouldn’t fight."
Both are nearing two thousand years old and yet behave like children, fighting at a slight provocation, unafraid of being laughed at by the juniors.
The Purple-clothed Woman saw this and frowned.
The Black Robed Man also suggested, "How about this, let the young one decide for himself whom to apprentice under?"
As the Black Robed Man spoke, neither the Third Elder nor the Blue Robed Elder could fight.
Thus, the two snorted lightly, withdrew their powerful auras, and once more fixed their fiery gaze on Lin Xuan.
The Blue Robed Elder was the first to speak, "Young one, I see you’re an Ice Element Martial Artist, whereas I’m Water Element."
"Ice and water as one, following me will surely enhance your Ice Power."
"The Water Element doesn’t just have ice, it also possesses strength and a robust body."
"To rival the Moves Mountains General is evidence of this."
"My Glazed Glass Vajra Fist, is absolutely most suited for him."
On the other side, the Third Elder did not back down.
At this moment, everyone looked towards Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan frowned slightly; he didn’t expect this scene, he honestly didn’t want to choose either elder.
He was contemplating how to refuse them without offending both.
Yet, he hadn’t decided.
Suddenly, outside the great hall, a golden light akin to golden lightning arrived in an instant above the hall.
That golden light flared, transforming into a blurred human figure.
"Peak Master!"
Seeing this golden figure, everyone was stunned, and then they all bowed towards the void.
"There’s no need for you to fight, I will take this youth as my disciple." Above, the golden figure spoke slowly.
"The Peak Master personally taking a disciple!" Everyone was shocked.
No one anticipated that this contest would attract the Peak Master.
Moreover, the Peak Master personally taking apprentice.
This was too surprising!
One must know, the Peak Master hasn’t taken a disciple in five hundred years.
The Peak Master has just two disciples, both taken over five hundred years ago, and hasn’t taken anyone since.
No one expected this time to take another.
"Brother Lin, hurry and show your gratitude!"
Bai Qianchi whispered, noticing Lin Xuan still dazed.
Lin Xuan was indeed stunned, not expecting yet another twist.
But then he felt relieved.
It was just right; he originally didn’t want to apprentice under those two elders, now with the Peak Master appearing, a perfect choice unfolded.
Thus, he clasped his hands towards the golden figure in the sky quickly.
Seeing this scene, the Third Elder and Elder Lan Bao sighed, knowing that the matter was irrevocable.
Other elders quickly spoke, congratulating the Peak Master on taking such a talented disciple!
The golden figure laughed, gave some instructions, and then vanished into the void.
Lin Xuan could tell that this wasn’t the true body but a manifestation of divine skills.
However, he didn’t mind, as he wasn’t here for apprenticeship but to seek news of the Ten Thousand Dragon Nest.
Once the golden figure left, tranquility returned to the great hall.
Then, the Purple-clothed Woman spoke, "Alright, apart from Lin Xuan who has been taken as the Peak Master’s disciple, let’s divide the others."
"Take them down for training. If any perform well later, they can be reassessed."
The envoys soon managed the remaining new disciples, bringing the matter to a close.
"Brother Lin, congratulations." Bai Qianchi said with a smile.
"It’s nothing, just luck." Lin Xuan smiled.
"You don’t know, our Golden Sword Peak’s Peak Master is a Supreme Great Power, with only two disciples under him."
"Including you, that’s a third."
"Being a Peak Master’s disciple is different from being an elder’s disciple. The resources and cultivation techniques to learn are beyond your imagination."
"Who are the two disciples?" Lin Xuan asked.
"Senior Sister Qin Lan and Second Senior Brother Qi Xing."
"These two are long since great powers."
"I suspect they will soon send someone to fetch you."
Two great power disciples! Lin Xuan was surprised, realizing the Peak Master indeed exceptional, training two disciples already ascended to greatness.
It appears far surpassing the elders.
"Brother Lin, there’s another thing I need to remind you of, even though you’re now a Peak Master’s disciple, you must also be cautious."
"Senior Sister Qin Lan has a volatile temper, you must not provoke her."
"But, Second Senior Brother Qi Xing is quite amiable; if you have queries, you can ask him."
Bai Qianchi whispered, clearly harboring deep fear towards Senior Sister Qin Lan.
Just then, a bright voice sounded in the sky, followed by a giant immortal crane soaring toward them.
On the immortal crane stood a young man and a woman, very young.
Moreover, their appearance was beautiful, carrying the aura of Six-star Kings.
Soon, the giant immortal crane stopped in midair, then the two descended below, quickly calling out, "Qianchi."
