Nangong Lingyun's words caused an immediate uproar.
Even among these people, who included those with Golden Rank second awakened body martial souls, the Spirit Hall's most elite Golden Trio, and individuals with innate full soul power and super martial souls, they encompassed nearly the entire essence of the younger generation of the Douluo Continent.
Their backgrounds were also incredibly powerful.
Yet, the effect of the divine medicine still left them profoundly shocked. If the speaker hadn't been the Kaiyuan Sect Master, they likely would have scoffed.
The top three sects and the Spirit Hall also had medicinal baths, but at best, they could only slightly accelerate recovery and modestly improve physique, serving merely as a supplement to cultivation.
However,
Some clever individuals had long noticed the clues, or had been guided by the wise ones in their families.
The old members of the Kaiyuan team were ridiculously stronger than the new ones.
Even Yuan Siling and Yuan Siyun, the two weaker female members specializing in mental abilities, could complete the heavy-duty cross-country training in about half an hour, immediately followed by the next set of exercises.
Meanwhile, many others, including Yu Tianheng from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's direct lineage, couldn't even finish the entire course in four hours under light-load conditions, eventually collapsing from exhaustion.
The design of that route included rock climbing, mountain climbing, wading, sand, obstacles, low stake nets, and many sections that required special methods to get through.
Someone had originally designed a sixteen-kilometer super-sized, super-strength version of the four-hundred-meter hurdles.
If you said that such a gap could be achieved just through training…
Even a ghost wouldn't believe it, let alone a person.
Everyone was still in shock when Gu Yue Na stepped forward. Her tall figure was upright, with straight legs and back, and her swan neck was also held high, looking very stylish.
"Sect Master, I'm joining the Kaiyuan Sect."
Her words instantly silenced the entire crowd.
Although this Gu Yue Na had only joined for half a month, she had already become the star of the entire Kaiyuan Academy.
It was because of her extraordinary temperament and appearance. Any woman, no matter how beautiful, would pale in comparison when standing before her.
Anyone who saw her would never forget her.
Following her statement, two more people stood up: Huo Wu and Ye Lingling.
Nangong Lingyun didn't look at Huo Wu; their relationship had already matured, and things were progressing naturally.
Instead, he looked at Ye Lingling and Gu Yue Na and said:
"Don't you need to discuss this with your families?"
Gu Yue Na shook her head gently. She was the biggest family member herself. Besides, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Ye Lingling explained, "My family already instructed me before I came."
Support-type individuals lacked combat abilities. The most important thing was to find a good backer.
In the original story, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was chosen. But now, the Kaiyuan Sect was undoubtedly more promising.
"Alright, the three of you, follow me. The rest of you are on holiday.
The novice training period is over; from now on, you'll have a day and a half of vacation every seven days."
Ning Rongrong immediately jumped up excitedly. Judging by her expression, she was even more thrilled than if she had won the lottery.
Nangong Lingyun ignored the cheers of the crowd and turned to walk towards the Bronze Sparrow Terrace.
As he walked, he explained the sect rules:
"The Kaiyuan Sect is newly established, so there aren't many rules.
First, you are forbidden from betraying your master or the sect. Second, you are forbidden from harming your fellow disciples or showing no mercy. Third, you are forbidden from bullying the weak or killing the innocent. Fourth, you are forbidden from privately teaching techniques or leaking secrets.
Those who violate these four rules will be attacked by everyone in the sect."
"Your talents are all very good, and I haven't heard of any major offenses from you.
After a period of observation, it will be easy for you all to become Core Disciples, except for Huo Wu."
"Why exclude me?"
"You already are one."
"Oh!"
...
Bronze Sparrow Terrace, despite its name, was a complete, mid-sized palace garden, with pavilions, terraces, buildings, and all the necessary scenery.
Nangong Lingyun first arranged a temporary room for Gu Yue Na, allowing her to stay there for the time being.
Then, he and Huo Wu and Ye Lingling went to another palace. He handed them a prepared piece of Whale Gelatin and said:
"This is a seventy-five thousand-year-old divine medicine. I've already finished preparing it.
Consume it in small portions, and then focus your mind on your martial soul and circulate your soul power.
You might feel some discomfort during the process, but there's no danger.
Huo Wu has used it before, and she will take care of you throughout.
My spiritual consciousness will also be monitoring here at all times, and I will come immediately in case of any emergencies."
"Okay."
Ye Lingling had a cold and aloof aura, appearing unapproachable, and even wore a veil to conceal her face.
However, she was actually a very gentle woman and didn't voice any objections.
Nangong Lingyun knew something about the Nine Hearts Begonia family.
After thinking for a moment, he encouraged her:
"Joining Kaiyuan Sect means you no longer need to worry about anything.
As long as you don't take the initiative to do evil, no matter what troubles arise, no matter how big they are, the sect will take care of it for you.
This includes your family and relatives, who will also be under our protection.
In addition, Huo Wu will be your partner from now on. Try to act together in whatever you do.
Her Martial Soul, in terms of offensive power alone, is even stronger than Jing Ling's. She is the number one attack type on the Kaiyuan team, second only to Xiao Wu. She can definitely keep you safe."
Ye Lingling's face immediately lit up at the words.
"Thank you, Sect Master. I will definitely work hard.
And, thank you, Vice-Captain Huo Wu, I won't let you down either."
"Call me sister from now on."
Huo Wu put her left arm around Ye Lingling's shoulder, and her right hand patted the sizable chest, her face full of heroic spirit.
Which soul master would refuse a powerful healer that would make you wish you couldn't even die?
In terms of life attribute alone, the purity of the Nine Hearts Begonia was even higher than the Blue Silver Emperor. Having her meant carrying eight lives with you.
After arranging for Ye Lingling, Nangong Lingyun went to Gu Yue Na's room. He was extremely interested in this Silver Dragon King.
It was just that he needed to probe whether the other party had any memories of their original self. Different situations would require different responses.
However, not long after entering the door, before he could even speak,
the other party pretended to be curious and took the initiative to ask: "Sect Master, I heard that your Martial Soul can contract and summon Soul Beasts, is that true?"
And she completely changed her previous aloof, icy demeanor, her face now filled with smiles, her eyes shining with a brilliant light.
That expectant expression made anyone who saw it unable to help but feel their heart flutter.
She didn't possess any seductive attributes, but with her powerful mental strength, coupled with her appearance, figure, and temperament, she was even more irresistible than a true seductress.
Nangong Lingyun was stunned, and then, countless alpacas galloped across his mind.
Oh, so you're really this kind of Silver Dragon King. You're actually using cuteness to attract me. Do you know that your character has collapsed?
"I thought I was going to be the hunter. Now, I'm the prey because of you?"
[Alright, alright, so that's how we're playing this, huh?]
Then, he pretended to be charmed, peacocking with pride:
"What's fake about it? Lots of people have seen it.
I'll let you in on a secret, my Beast Taming skills are amazing. The worst of them are all super Soul Beasts, and there are even Sacred Beasts among them.
If you don't mind, I can take you in for a look?"
