Dan Dan was a super spirit beast. Among the Lava Giant Dragon clan, newborn dragons always start at Divine Transformation stage.
Dan Dan had absorbed far more life energy than other dragons. Its starting point might even exceed the usual Divine Transformation.
Under Yun Jin's expectant gaze, the shell finally shattered. A small dragon with two horns on its head carefully crawled out. Seeing Yun Jin, a spark of joy lit up its eyes, and it bounced straight into her arms.
Yun Jin held it and curiously tapped its horns.
Dan Dan immediately displayed a look of pure enjoyment, nuzzling closer and rubbing against her again.
Yun Jin sensed the change and was slightly astonished.
Yun Mu's Life Infusion had been unbelievably effective. Dan Dan's aura was already at Unity stage. Being born at Unity stage was a miracle even for the Lava Giant Dragon clan.
"Dan Dan, since you are already at Unity stage, you should be able to transform into human form," Yun Jin said. She was curious to see whether Dan Dan would appear male or female. In the Lava Giant Dragon clan, the distinction between male and female was different from other races, and without transformation, she could not tell.
"Yes, Master," Dan Dan replied in a clear, joyful voice. She had not expected that right after birth, she could already transform and speak. When she returned to Wushuang Sect, he would definitely show off in front of her father.
"Shall we try the transformation?" Yun Jin asked with curiosity.
Dan Dan nodded and leapt down from Yun Jin's arms. In the next moment, flames enveloped it. Within the fire appeared a stunning woman with flowing red hair.
"Master, do I look good?" Dan Dan asked, beaming at Yun Jin.
Moments later, the flames began to dissipate.
Yun Jin froze and quickly recalled Yun Mu and the others into the Beastmaster Space.
Then, she swiftly tossed over a defensive artifact.
The artifact was a robe that could change its appearance at will once worn.
"Put this on first," Yun Jin said, a bit exasperated.
She had momentarily forgotten that spirit beasts in human form did not wear clothes. Yun Mu had tree bark naturally, so clothing made little difference. Dan Dan had looked fine under the flames, but now that they had vanished, his nudity was hard to overlook.
Fortunately, she had acted quickly.
"Master, I don't want to wear it," Dan Dan said reluctantly.
"When in human form, clothes are required," Yun Jin instructed firmly.
Dan Dan tilted his head, then said, "I will listen to Master."
Though clearly exuding the aura of a mature beauty, her words and behavior carried a hint of innocent charm. Yun Jin suddenly felt as if she were raising a daughter.
After Dan Dan was dressed and had mastered the artifact's transformation method, Yun Jin released the others.
Yun Mu retained his composed demeanor.
Gun Gun and Huan Huan circled Dan Dan, curiously examining her.
Dan Dan, previously tossed and tumbled by them, was now Unity stage and had transformed into human form.
Gun Gun's mood sank. He had considered himself the big brother, but his Master's growth was too fast. Even the newly recovered Lava Giant Dragons and Yun Mu had surpassed him. His position as the big brother was suddenly threatened.
The same applied to Huan Huan.
Their progress had also been remarkable.
Yet…
Who could have imagined a Master of such genius?
Gun Gun could not help but shed wide, noodle-like tears. He was already the best of the Iron-Eating Beasts, yet the comparisons made him feel useless.
Seeing Gun Gun and Huan Huan's dejection, Yun Jin had no better solution, only offering comfort: "You are already very strong. Your opportunities may lie in the Spirit Beast Forest. I will take you there in due time."
Master Liu Li had explained clearly.
The Iron-Eating Beasts had exceptional potential. Encountering the supreme entity of the Spirit Beast Forest could bring immense benefits.
Gun Gun and Huan Huan's chance might very well lie there.
Afterward, Yun Jin recalled all the spirit beasts to the Beastmaster Space and directly teleported back to Wushuang Sect.
Normally, teleporting with a token would place her at a random location within the sect. However, ever since she had established the Sect Master's Residence, she now returned directly there.
Upon Yun Jin's arrival, the Palace of Sole Sovereignty Over the Four Seas and Eight Desolations immediately exuded an indescribable aura of authority, and the disciples knew at once: The Sect Master had returned!
Her absence had lasted just over half a month.
Previously, that would have been barely enough for a secluded training session.
But this time was different.
The disciples' quarters, the Trial Tower, and timed guidance from the Sect Master had led to massive progress among the students. Seeing Yun Jin return, the disciples became excited, like children hoping for praise after a good exam.
Yun Jin did not rush to meet them. She called An Tong first, asking about the disciples' cultivation progress.
Even in just over half a month, differences had already emerged. Some core disciples had cleared the fifth level of the Trial Tower, though their number was still under ten.
Many more had cleared the second level. Half of Wushuang Sect's disciples had passed the second level. A significant number had reached the third and fourth levels.
This was normal.
Once a disciple passed the first level, their strength increased significantly. When their power reached a certain threshold, clearing the second level naturally followed.
Yun Jin nodded in satisfaction. "Maintain this standard for now. When more disciples arrive, standards for elite and core disciples will rise. Competition gives them motivation."
An Tong nodded eagerly.
He managed Wushuang Sect inside and out like a chief steward. Though busy, watching the sect revive under Yun Jin's guidance brought him immense satisfaction. If the Master were present, she would undoubtedly be proud to see her Young Master excel. With the Young Master here, the rejuvenated Wushuang Sect would one day surpass its former glory.
"Senior Tian Po," Yun Jin said thoughtfully, releasing the Tian Po Sword. "You were once Sect Master Wandao Saint's sword. Sect Master's mastery of all Law left a profound mark on you. Your understanding of various Law and weapons is exceptional.
My current strength no longer requires your protection. I believe staying in the sect to guide the new disciples is where your talents are best utilized. What do you think?" Yun Jin asked earnestly.
An Tong's true form was a mirror. As the spirit of the Heart-Reflecting Mirror, he could traverse all mirrors and possessed keen insight into human hearts.
Having him manage logistics was ideal.
The Tian Po Sword had been personally trained by Wandao Saint, whose vast knowledge had naturally influenced the sword over many years.
Assigning him to guide new disciples and provide cultivation advice was equally fitting.
