NOVEL WEB Chapter 838 Jian Youzi
"Young man, are you willing to become my disciple?"
The "Old Master" asked, elevated and beyond the mundane, exuding an aura of an otherworldly Immortal, with every movement radiating a transcendent quality.
"Are you the Old Master?"
Lin Yi asked to confirm the other party's identity.
"Old Master?"
Unexpectedly, the old man dismissed it with disdain, chuckling, "That old coot, in front of me, is just a junior."
With these words, a wave of astonishment spread through the crowd. This old man wasn't the Old Master, yet he dared to belittle him in such a manner. Could he be some ancient relic of the academy?
If that were indeed the case, then he truly had the confidence to speak such arrogant words!
"My main practice is Sword Dao, may I ask if you are proficient in this Dao?"
Lin Yi inquired, not overly concerned whether the other was the master of the Wanling Academy. What he cared about was whether this person could be the mentor he needed.
"Sword Dao?"
The old man grinned, "What I practice is precisely the Sword Dao!"
With that, a terrifying Sword Domain suddenly emanated from the old man, enveloping an entire area of a hundred miles, with peerless pressure!
Lin Yi's face displayed astonishment; such an immense ocean-like Sword Domain could indeed only be unleashed by a Sword Dao Great Saint, and this domain contained extremely profound Sword Dao Laws, making him feel as though he were looking up at a mighty mountain!
Lin Yi's Sword Domain was also involuntarily activated at this moment. Although it could not compare to the old man's domain, it still caught the elder's eye.
In his eyes, there was even a hint of excitement.
As if he had found something he had been searching for many years!
"Young man, are you now willing to go with me?"
The excitement in the old man's eyes flashed briefly, then returned to calmness as he asked.
Lin Yi naturally would not pass up this opportunity, nodding directly, "No problem!"
Such a powerful Sword Dao Great Saint willing to take him as a disciple, how could he refuse?
"Then let's go!"
The corners of the old man's mouth curved into a slightly playful smile before he waved his hand, causing a massive pillar of light to engulf Lin Yi's body!
"Senior Wuyue, Qingcheng, I'll be back soon!"
Lin Yi cupped his hands towards Wuyue and Lu Qingcheng, intending to follow the old man first to settle the matter of becoming a disciple.
Soon afterwards, the two disappeared in mid-air.
"This kid, I'm afraid he won't be coming back."
Seeing the two vanish, Wuyue merely smiled and shook his head.
"Why?" The authentic version is on M|V|LEMPY_R.
Lu Qingcheng on the side was startled, wasn't that old man a relic of Wanling Academy? Why wouldn't Lin Yi return after taking him as a teacher?
"That old man isn't from Wanling Academy."
Wuyue shook his head, "I don't know how he got in, but that old guy stole a genius student from Wanling Academy; this should be interesting to watch."
"Not from Wanling Academy?"
Lu Qingcheng's exquisite face changed color, "Then why didn't you stop him, Senior?"
Wuyue said, "That old guy may not be a relic of Wanling Academy, but he's also a peerless powerhouse in the Wanling Realm. Being Lin Yi's teacher wouldn't be beneath him either."
"It's just that his way of accepting disciples is a bit too rogue."
Stealing other people's geniuses, if he were caught, wouldn't he be beaten to death?
Sure enough, just after Lin Yi left with that old man, the two Great Saints of Wanling Academy came to their senses.
"Where is he?"
Seeing no trace of Lin Yi, their expressions immediately changed. Just moments before, a powerful will had suppressed their Primordial Spirit, putting them into a brief daze. Once they regained consciousness, Lin Yi had vanished!
"Where's the genius who broke through the Sacred Ascending Ladder's record?"
"Where did he go?"
Seeing the two Great Saints so shocked, the students of Wanling Academy wore expressions of surprise as they had all seen Lin Yi being taken by that old man, yet the Saints acted as if they had no idea?
Lan Xuan cupped his hands toward the two Great Saints, "Great Saints, Lin Yi has been taken by an ancient relic of the academy!"
"Which ancient relic?"
The two Great Saints' expressions turned somber, which ancient relic was so disrespectful as to suppress their Primordial Spirits and snatch away their disciple?
"I don't know!"
Lan Xuan shook his head, "That ancient relic boldly claimed that even the Old Master was just a junior before him!"
Hearing this, both Great Saints were stunned. In Wanling Academy, the Old Master was undoubtedly the most revered and senior figure; who dared to speak so arrogantly, calling him a junior?
Was there such an ancient relic in their academy?
How come even they, the two Great Saints, did not know?
While the two were puzzled, an extremely powerful aura suddenly swept in, revealing an old man with a youthful face amidst white hair!
"Old Master!"
Seeing the arrival, the two Great Saints immediately brightened their eyes and bowed to the old man.
This old man was indeed the Old Master of Wanling Academy!
The Old Master of Wanling Academy looked extremely urgent, glancing around and asking, "Where is the student who just broke the record?"
"Where is he? Have you already brought him under your wing?"
A newcomer who broke the Sacred Ascending Ladder's record was of infinite potential, and such a young talent needed serious attention.
However, the two Great Saints shook their heads and recounted exactly what had just occurred to the Old Master.
"Old Master, since when did we have such an ancient relic in our Wanling Academy that we know nothing about?"
"Damn, our academy's genius student has been snatched!"
The Old Master's face darkened.
"Old Master, what do you mean by this?!"
The two Great Saints' faces both changed dramatically, the old man just wasn't one of their academy's people?
"Where did such an ancient relic come from!"
The Old Master's face was terrifyingly grim, "That was Jian Youzi! The Big Swindler!"
"Jian Youzi?"
Hearing this name, the two Great Saints were astonished, "The one who specializes in stealing others' disciples?"
"Damn! That person actually extended his dark hands into our Wanling Academy?"
Jian Youzi was notorious in the Wanling Realm, having on numerous occasions stolen several geniuses from various top Daoist traditions in the realm, luring them under his tutelage.
The top Daoist traditions in the Wanling Realm had all regarded him as a rat on the street, shouting to beat him!
Wanling Academy had never before had a disciple stolen by Jian Youzi, so they were lax in their guard. Unexpectedly, this time, the trickster had taken a big one!
Lin Yi, a newcomer who broke the record of the Sacred Ascending Ladder, was such a naturally gifted genius that even the Old Master was alarmed, yet Jian Youzi snatched him away; how utterly outrageous!
