Chapter 13: The Third Livestream Begins
Forget it—I'll choose Spirit Hall after all!
In the end, Lin Yu made his decision.
Although, with his Chaos Green Lotus Martial Spirit, joining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might be a better fit…
Compared to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Spirit Hall surely possessed a larger collection of texts and far greater overall strength.
So when weighing all factors, joining Spirit Hall made more sense.
Moreover, based on that "Tao-Ge" Hou Yuntao's attitude earlier, he had likely already reported Lin Yu's information to Spirit Hall's main headquarters.
Now the only question was—would Spirit City send someone to recruit him? And if so, when would they arrive?
After the second livestream ended, the next few days passed peacefully.
Although Lin Yu had innate full soul power and could begin cultivating with a soul ring,
He still lacked the strength to venture into the Soul Hunting Forest and slay a soul beast.
So during his time in Windmill Village, he focused on adapting to the physical changes brought about by innate full soul power and experimenting with the Chaos Green Lotus Martial Spirit.
To his surprise, he did discover a unique usage of the Chaos Green Lotus.
Due to his still-low cultivation, Lin Yu could only barely keep the spirit summoned, and couldn't yet activate any special abilities.
He even tried pouring his entire rank 10 soul power into the spirit, hoping something would change.
But to his disappointment—
Even at full power, nothing happened. The Chaos Green Lotus remained motionless, completely unaffected.
However, what Lin Yu did discover was its sheer durability.
No matter how he tried to tear it, he couldn't damage the Chaos Green Lotus at all.
Even striking it with a kitchen knife left it completely unharmed.
So, during combat—
If he summoned the Chaos Green Lotus at the exact moment an enemy's attack landed, couldn't he use it as an indestructible shield?
Brilliant! Lin Yu was quite impressed with his own ingenuity.
Truly a clever application of his spirit's unique nature—very, very clever!
…
Compared to the calm in Windmill Village—
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect near Heaven Dou Imperial City was bustling.
Following Ning Fengzhi's martial spirit evolution, many factions sent envoys to congratulate him and evaluate the sect's rising power.
Meanwhile, since Ning Fengzhi became the second person (after the outlier "Lin Yu") to answer a livestream question correctly, his reputation soared.
Many young soul masters who previously hadn't committed to any faction now swarmed to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
It was clear—the sect's power was about to rise again dramatically.
To prepare for the third livestream Q&A—
Many factions, lacking Ning Fengzhi's scholarly background, assembled teams of scholars to scan ancient texts.
After the hard lessons of the previous sessions, the major powers had realized:
Waiting until the question appeared to look things up was far too slow.
To win rewards, the knowledge had to be memorized.
Only by answering instantly could one hope to succeed!
And just like that, fifteen days flew by.
Soon, it was time for the third livestream to begin.
Same time as before—10:00 a.m.
Those seeking rewards were fully prepared.
Commoners gathered with their families and books, waiting in their homes.
While powerful factions stationed scholars in vast libraries, anxiously awaiting the start.
Suddenly, everyone's vision went black.
When it returned, they saw a deep, dark space resembling a vacuum-like universe.
And then, a virtual screen appeared before them.
[Huyan Zhen (laughing): Haha! I've prepared for fifteen days! This time, the reward is mine!]
[Yu Yuanzhen (smirking): Don't be too confident. The Elephant Armored Sect's collection isn't exactly vast. I doubt you're fully prepared.]
[Yue Guan (smugly): He's right, Blue Lightning Douluo. But in this whole continent, our Spirit Hall has the richest library. For this Q&A, Her Majesty the Pope gathered scholars from across Spirit City to comb our archives. All students from our academies have also been mobilized. Who else could possibly be better prepared than us?]
[Dai Tianfeng (coldly): Don't count us out. Our Star Luo Empire has spared no effort. If this question is about history, our archives will provide the answer. Let's see who gets there first!]
[Xue Ye (calmly): This emperor agrees.]
…
Messages streamed rapidly across the public screen—
The leaders of various factions exchanging barbed remarks.
Seeing their confident boasting, the smaller sects and unaffiliated soul masters—like Blue Tyrant Academy, Shrek Academy, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang, and Tang Hao—grew uneasy.
Did they still stand a chance?
Compared to these vast organizations, their odds felt increasingly slim.
The same unease crept through the powerful soul beasts of Star Dou Forest—Di Tian, Titan Giant Ape, Azure Bull Python—and even the Deep Sea Demon Whale King beneath the ocean depths.
And far in the Extreme North, Snow Emperor and Ice Emperor felt it too.
As 100,000-year soul beasts, they were not human and had no books or archives to draw from.
If the livestream continued focusing on human-related questions, how could they compete?
Unfortunately, life was never fair.
And just as the public screen filled with arrogant declarations and proud posturing—
The livestream event finally began.
Instantly, the public chat was forcibly silenced!
The dark void transformed once more.
A vibrant, bustling city scene appeared in everyone's eyes.
