Gao Yuan of the Soul Refining Sect even received an invitation letter, but he didn’t care for it, his sect already had a strong foundation, he disdained becoming a disciple of other Tribulation Realm experts, he only craved a letter from the Immortals.
Lin Yun, so far, hadn’t received any letters.
As for the six Immortals seated at the front, they had yet to make a move.
“Could it be that none of the six Immortals plan to take disciples? Is no one worthy of their notice?”
“I read in unofficial histories that at the last Wanhua Banquet, only one Immortal sent a letter to take a disciple, their standards are incredibly high!”
…
Just as the crowd below buzzed with discussion, the scruffy Immortal at the front instructed an attendant beside him to carry a letter down!
“An Immortal is finally sending a letter!”
With an Immortal dispatching a letter, the atmosphere in the arena exploded instantly.
“Come to me! Come to me!”
Those who had made it into the top hundred of the tournament stared eagerly, desperate for the chance!
Being taken as a disciple by an Immortal would be a meteoric rise, something they all longed for.
Gu Dong of the Gu family, his face pale, yearned for it too, but he’d been eliminated by Lin Yun in the first round, failing to even reach the top hundred, he’d had no chance to showcase himself before the Immortals, meaning he stood no chance of being chosen.
It was all Lin Yun’s fault for robbing him of this opportunity!
“Is it me? Could it be me!” Gao Yuan of the Soul Refining Sect stared intently at the attendant, his entire body tense.
He noticed the attendant was indeed heading in their direction.
The attendant passed the Soul Refining Sect’s area, but only walked by, not pausing for a moment.
Finally, the attendant arrived before Lin Yun of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
“Lin Yun, this is from my master,” the attendant presented the letter.
Lin Yun froze for a moment, then, under the countless envious gazes of the crowd, accepted the letter.
After delivering it, the attendant turned and left.
“Lin Yun, you’ve got it! You’ve received an Immortal’s invitation to become their disciple!”
The Heavenly Sword Sect Leader’s voice trembled with excitement.
Even as a Tribulation Realm expert himself, he couldn’t suppress his emotions.
Aunt Mei, Elder Zhang, Mo Qing, Zhi Jin, and every disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect present were overwhelmed with joy!
Being taken under an Immortal’s wing meant Lin Yun’s future path would be far smoother!
Not to mention access to vital resources!
Like Tribulation Pills, or Heaven-tier secret manuals, resources that Tribulation Realm experts, renowned sects, and super-families could never provide!
“It’s him, Lin Yun! It’s actually him…”
Gu Dong, Gao Yuan, Hao Yuntian, Li Shi, and others watched Lin Yun receive the Immortal’s letter, their hearts burning with envy, jealousy, and resentment!
At that moment, a second Immortal’s letter was sent down.
It came from the refined Immortal holding a folding fan.
The top hundred contestants once again grew hopeful, silently screaming in their hearts, ‘Come to me! Come here!’
Under their longing gazes, this letter, too, was delivered to Lin Yun’s hands!
It was the second Immortal’s letter!
When this second letter reached Lin Yun, the crowd erupted in astonishment!
“Good heavens, this guy’s received two at once!”
“Normally, these Immortals are friends, if one of them takes a liking to someone and wants them as a disciple, the others give face and don’t compete, they wouldn’t all send letters to the same person, but now, two Immortals have given Lin Yun letters! It’s clear they’re vying for him!”
“Bloody hell, the dry stay parched, the flooded drown, others can only dream of one, yet he’s got two at once…”
…
Who in the crowd wasn’t jealous?
Then, a third Immortal’s letter was sent down.
“No way… it’s not going to Lin Yun again, is it?”
Amid the murmurs, the letter was indeed delivered to Lin Yun once more.
This Immortal sent two letters in total, after giving the first to Lin Yun, they continued on, handing the second to the dark horse, Wang Luo.
Next, the fourth Immortal, Li Ba, sent a letter, and under the crowd’s envious stares, it too ended up in Lin Yun’s hands.
At the front.
“Li Ba, didn’t you say at first you’d take Li Shi? Why’d you only give Lin Yun one and not send one to Li Shi?” the scruffy Immortal asked.
“At first, I did intend to take Li Shi, but to show Lin Yun my sincerity in wanting him as my disciple, I decided not to send Li Shi an invitation,” Li Ba replied.
Then, Li Ba turned to the Xingwu Emperor, “Emperor, are you sending an invitation? If you give Lin Yun one, you’ve got the upper hand being so close, a talent like him, you’d surely want to keep in the Xingwu Empire, right?”
“That, I won’t reveal to you,” the Xingwu Emperor said with a faint smile.
Clearly, he had his own plans.
Of the six Immortals, four sent letters, the other two didn’t, after all, not every Immortal wanted disciples, some had no interest in teaching.
Below.
“Why! Why hasn’t anyone taken me as a disciple!” Li Shi’s gaze was venomous, filled with bitter unwillingness.
Though he’d lost to Lin Yun, his strength was undeniable.
He’d received two letters from Tribulation Realm experts, but he scorned them, what he wanted was to be taken by an Immortal!
Before the tournament, he’d been confident he’d catch an Immortal’s eye, even Li Ba had previously expressed willingness to take him.
Yet now, he hadn’t received a single Immortal’s letter.
Looking at Lin Yun again, seeing the four Immortal letters in his hands, Li Shi’s gaze grew even more resentful!
At Lin Yun’s location.
“Four, haha! Four whole Immortal letters! I can brag about this for a lifetime!” the Heavenly Sword Sect Leader laughed, unable to close his mouth.
Their Heavenly Sword Sect had produced a dragon!
Mo Qing, too, was genuinely happy for Lin Yun.
“Lin Yun, usually Immortals pick their disciples, but now, you’ve got the chance to choose them, who do you want to join?” Mo Qing asked, a delighted smile on her pretty face.
“I’ll take a look first,” Lin Yun said with a wry smile and a shrug.
Four Immortals wanting him as a disciple was completely beyond his expectations.
Entering the Wanhua Tournament, Lin Yun’s first goal was to prove his strength, which he’d now accomplished, no one dared claim he relied solely on his battle pet anymore.
Second, he aimed to claim the tournament’s rewards.
Third, the most anticipated goal for him and the other contestants, was to become an Immortal’s disciple!
Next, Lin Yun prepared to open the letters one by one and review their contents.
He didn’t know much about these four Immortals, so he could only start by reading what they’d written to him.
The Sect Leader suggested, “Lin Yun, besides the letters, you should later visit the Xiaoyao Tower to buy basic information on these four Immortals, see who suits you best, choosing the right master is crucial, picking the wrong one could impact your future significantly.”
“I understand, thank you for the guidance, Sect Leader,” Lin Yun replied.
With that, Lin Yun began by opening the first letter…
