The elder of the Canghai Yuntaigong Palace suddenly called out to stop the competition before it began.
All the martial artists looked at Murong Qi in confusion.
"Elder Murong, do you have any more questions?" the City Lord of Lingxi City asked curiously.
Murong Qi lazily stood up from his chair and said with a smile, "I have no questions. The competition is the same every year."
"However, this year is different. I have been entrusted to designate a disciple of Canghai Yuntaigong before the competition begins."
"Oh? I wonder which martial artist is so fortunate to be designated by Canghai Yuntaigong?" the City Lord of Lingxi City asked with interest.
Canghai Yuntaigong never took more than two disciples each time they came to Lingxi City to recruit.
Moreover, they only made their selection after carefully choosing from the top three in the competition.
Therefore, the recruitment standards of this sect were extremely strict, and anyone they designated must be an outstanding individual.
"Canghai Yuntaigong designating a disciple is something that has never happened in the history of Lingxi City's recruitment competition."
"I wonder who is so fortunate to enter Canghai Yuntaigong without having to compete."
"Yes, who is it?"
The martial artists were immediately沸腾 when they heard about the designated spot.
Murong Qi took two steps forward and scanned the crowd, "Where is Lin Zier?"
"Lin Zier! It's actually Lin Zier!"
"Lin Zier from the Lin family, with a Fifth Rank Heaven-Class martial soul!"
"So it's her. No wonder she was designated by Canghai Yuntaigong. A Fifth Rank Heaven-Class martial soul, indeed outstanding."
The martial artists were initially a bit dissatisfied with the designated spot, thinking it was a backroom deal.
But when they heard it was Lin Zier, they all became convinced.
After all, with a Fifth Rank Heaven-Class martial soul, who would dare to challenge her?
"Here, disciple is present." Lin Zier walked up to the platform with joy.
A few days ago, Lin Zier had purchased the contact information of a respected elder from Canghai Yuntaigong through the Treasure Hall.
After several days of communication, this elder expressed his desire to take Lin Zier as a disciple.
He also told Lin Zier that after the recruitment competition, she would follow Murong Qi to Canghai Yuntaigong.
The elder Lin Zier contacted held a high position within Canghai Yuntaigong and was considered one of the top ten martial artists in the Divine Martial Kingdom.
Murong Qi looked at Lin Zier and smiled in satisfaction, "A Fifth Rank Heaven-Class martial soul, no wonder Senior Brother Zhao personally sent a message, instructing me to ensure your safety and bring you safely to Canghai Yuntaigong."
"You are very impressive," Murong Qi praised.
"Thank you, Elder, for your kind words. I still have much to learn," Lin Zier responded with a gentle smile.
"Canghai Yuntaigong is the most powerful sect in the Divine Martial Kingdom. You will certainly learn a lot after joining."
"You don't need to call me Elder anymore. Since you are personally chosen by Senior Brother Zhao, you can call me Uncle."
Murong Qi said with a smile.
"Yes, Uncle," Lin Zier said with great joy.
Changing her address to Uncle meant she had officially joined Canghai Yuntaigong!
"Good, since you call me Uncle, I can't let you call me for nothing. I have a Second Rank Spirit Weapon that I haven't used for many years. It was a battle weapon I used when I was in the True Martial Realm."
"I'll give it to you as a gift."
As he spoke, Murong Qi took out a silver-white sword from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Zier.
"Thank you, Uncle," Lin Zier said with great excitement.
A Second Rank Spirit Weapon was a weapon that only True Martial Realm martial artists were qualified to use, and it was extremely valuable.
Even in the Treasure Hall, a Second Rank Spirit Weapon would cost over a hundred thousand spirit stones.
"Wow! A Second Rank Spirit Weapon!"
"A Second Rank Spirit Weapon as a welcome gift, Canghai Yuntaigong is truly wealthy and generous!"
"Yes, major sects are different."
A Second Rank Spirit Weapon might not be much in Canghai Yuntaigong, but in Lingxi City, it was a rare treasure.
The City Lord of Lingxi City then asked with a smile, "Elder Murong, the Senior Brother Zhao you mentioned, is he one of the Ten Divine Martial Kings, Zhao...?"
"Hehe, yes, it's Zhao Xiansheng, the third-ranked Divine Martial King."
The Ten Divine Martial Kings were the pinnacle of martial arts in the Divine Martial Kingdom.
Each of them possessed earth-shattering power.
The first of the Ten Divine Martial Kings was the current old emperor of the Divine Martial Kingdom.
The second was the Supreme Master of Canghai Yuntaigong.
The third was Lin Zier's master, Zhao Xiansheng!
"Haha, congratulations, Miss Lin Zier. From now on, you will be a disciple of King Zhao!" The City Lord of Lingxi City's face showed a hint of respect when he heard this.
After all, being a disciple of Zhao Xiansheng meant Lin Zier's future was boundless!
Zhao Xiansheng, one of the Ten Divine Martial Kings, was known as King Zhao!
The disciples of Zhao Xiansheng were called disciples of King Zhao.
When they heard that Zhao Xiansheng had taken Lin Zier as a disciple, the elders of the other three major sects also looked at her.
Xiao Tianchu of the Fire Nation stood up first to congratulate her, "No wonder I felt a change in the heavens and earth when you stepped onto the platform. You are indeed extraordinary."
"I congratulate Canghai Yuntaigong on gaining a capable disciple. I believe it won't take more than ten years for Lin Zier to become a core member of Canghai Yuntaigong."
Xiao Tianchu said with a smile.
Others could tell that Xiao Tianchu was flattering them.
"Congratulations." Ling Han, the elder of Wufeng Sect, opened his eyes to look at Lin Zier, said a word of congratulations, and then closed his eyes again.
Only Ji Bei, the elder of Lingjian Sect, looked at Lin Zier with a regretful expression, silently lamenting: Alas, a Fifth Rank Heaven-Class disciple, something Lingjian Sect hasn't seen in years.
In recent years, all the talented disciples in the Divine Martial Kingdom had been taken by Canghai Yuntaigong. Those who were willing to join Lingjian Sect were secretly killed by them.
The gap between Lingjian Sect and Canghai Yuntaigong was growing larger.
Ji Bei felt very uncomfortable.
Since the battle a hundred years ago, Lingjian Sect had been firmly suppressed by Canghai Yuntaigong.
Whenever Lingjian Sect managed to cultivate a promising talent, Canghai Yuntaigong would send people to assassinate them.
As a result, over the past hundred years, Canghai Yuntaigong had become increasingly powerful, with five of the Ten Divine Martial Kings being their disciples. In contrast, Lingjian Sect had become weaker, almost on par with some third-rate sects.
Seeing Ji Bei's regretful expression, Murong Qi provocatively said with a smile, "What's wrong? The elder of Lingjian Sect seems a bit unhappy."
Ji Bei forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, congratulations to Canghai Yuntaigong."
"Ha ha ha, same to you. I hope Lingjian Sect can cultivate a talented disciple before the Four Sects Competition."
"Don't be like last year, when not a single disciple of Lingjian Sect made it into the top hundred, which was quite embarrassing."
Murong Qi said with disdain.
Ji Bei's face turned red with anger, but he dared not speak out.
The City Lord of Lingxi City, aware that Canghai Yuntaigong and Lingjian Sect were natural enemies, quickly changed the subject, "Cough, cough, that's enough. Elders and Lin Zier, please take your seats. The competition for recruitment is about to begin."
"Lingxi City not only has Lin Zier, a disciple of King Zhao, but also many other excellent martial artists."
"Please take your time to observe."
Murong Qi said to Lin Zier, "Niece, although you have become a disciple of Senior Brother Zhao Xiansheng, he has told me that everything in martial arts must be earned through your own efforts."
"Therefore, he specifically instructed me to ensure that you officially enter Canghai Yuntaigong through the competition."
"Moreover, he ordered you to win first place in this competition!"
Lin Zier nodded slightly, "Uncle, even if you hadn't said this, I would still continue to participate in the competition because I still have an enemy to defeat!"
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Lin Bai in the crowd.
"Go ahead," Murong Qi said.
The City Lord of Lingxi City arranged everything and said,
"All participants, gather here!"
"In the Tianyou Valley, there are a total of two hundred tokens."
"I need to remind all participants that on the northwest peak of Tianyou Valley, I have placed one hundred competition tokens, but also one hundred Ninth Rank martial beasts."
"Those who are not afraid of death can go and get them."
