"Yuwen Qingjin, are you willing to become my disciple?"
Elder Tang's actions were against the rules. Normally, all the young people participating in the selection had to go to the Qingyang Sect after passing the test. Then, the seniors of the sect would pick their favorite disciples. Those with special talents might even be picked by the vice sect leader or even the sect leader.
If he allowed Yuwen Qingjin to become his disciple now, it would be the same as cutting off the opportunity for him to join someone else's sect. Of course, it was also an honor to become an elder's disciple.
"I'm willing!"
When Yuwen Qingjin heard this, he quickly bowed down. At the same time, he looked at Du Yu 'er proudly. One must know that even Princess Yu'er was not immediately accepted as a direct disciple.
Seeing this, even the Queen was moved. No one from the royal family had such an honor, but the son of a general was the first to show his talent. No matter how powerful a general was, he was still an official. How could he compare to the royal family?
"Hao 'er, show Elder Tang your performance."
Du Hao walked to the center of the hall unhurriedly after hearing his mother's request. The Martial Arts Hall was more than 20 meters high and occupied a very large area. Usually, it could accommodate thousands of people. Today, it was only used for the selection.
Du Hao purposely walked to the center of the hall in such a spacious place. His behavior immediately attracted Elder Tang's attention.
"Open!"
It was the same roar, but the thirteenth prince's was more penetrating. It was like a ferocious tiger crossing the mountains, shocking everyone.
"Heavenly Lightning, Wind from all directions, Beast Fusion."
Just from the chant, one could tell that it was different. Heavenly Lightning was Heavenly Lightning. Among the five elemental spells, lightning was the most powerful. The fastest was also lightning. If it was supplemented with the agility of the wind, it would be perfect.
"Roar …"
The lightning tiger roared as soon as it appeared. A pair of white wings spread out, and electric arcs wrapped around its body. A few servants in charge of serving in the hall were standing too close to the tiger and were immediately caught on fire by the electric arcs.
No wonder the thirteenth prince walked to the center of the hall. The range of the lightning tiger's wings was too large, and the electric arcs wrapped around it could kill or injure anyone. Tiger-type beasts were also very strong, and their agility was also very high. On top of that, he had a pair of wings and the power of wind and thunder.
Elder Tang could no longer sit still. He rushed to the center of the hall. The True Essence in his body stirred, and a layer of protective shield automatically formed. He braved the lightning arcs on the Lightning Tiger's body and approached the thirteenth prince. Honestly speaking, Du Hao's beast was of a higher grade than Elder Tang's beast. However, a warrior's strength wasn't entirely determined by their beast's rank. Their Cultivation and beast's maturity, as well as the compatibility between the two, and so on, would all affect the result of actual combat.
"Roar …"
Seeing that someone was approaching, the Lightning Tiger roared again. A few young people who were weaker in Cultivation were shaken to the point that they were on the verge of collapse. Elder Tang didn't blame Du Hao. He just waved his hand and created a barrier.
"Du Hao, are you willing to become my direct disciple?"
Hearing this, the Thirteenth Prince was overjoyed. His limelight had been stolen by Yuwen Qingjin. He had finally won back some face. However, when he looked up and saw his mother's eyes, he hesitated. From the Queen's eyes, it was obvious that she wasn't willing to give up.
Becoming Elder Tang's direct disciple was something to be proud of. However, with Du Hao's talent, he would have more choices if he went to the sect. Elder Tang was in charge of recruiting disciples in a second-tier country. This meant that he wasn't the strongest among the elders.
The Thirteenth Prince's Lightning Tiger was one of the best even among the ninth-tier beasts. If he went to the sect, he would definitely be valued by the four elders. Especially the elders of the White Tiger Hall. They liked disciples with tiger-type beasts the most.
However, if he rejected Elder Tang now, he might not even have the chance to go to the Qingyang Sect. If he got angry, he could kill Du Hao on the spot. No one in the entire Rong Tian Nation would be able to do anything to him. Thus, after struggling in her heart for a while, the queen nodded her head again.
"I'm willing!"
Understanding his mother's intention, Du Hao hurriedly acknowledged her as his master. He was also quite nervous. He was afraid that he would make Elder Tang unhappy and lose the chance to grow.
"Congratulations, Thirteenth Prince. From now on, we'll be brothers in the same sect."
Yuwen Qingjin was good at judging the situation. He immediately came over to congratulate Du Hao. At the same time, he looked at Du Feng provocatively. Since he was on the same side as the Thirteenth Prince, it meant that he was completely against the Seventh Prince. The phrase "brothers in the same sect" had a double meaning. It meant that both of them were disciples of the Qingyang Sect. At the same time, it also meant that both of them were Elder Tang's direct disciples. As for Du Feng, he hadn't even reached Body Tempering Stage Seven in Cultivation. He probably wouldn't have the chance to enter the Qingyang Sect.
Elder Tang felt that it was worth the trip since the first few people were in the limelight. Therefore, he didn't pay much attention to the performance of the last few people. It wasn't until a little girl appeared that everyone started discussing again.
This was because this little girl from a neighboring city was only at Body Tempering Stage Five in Cultivation. However, she was only fourteen years old. She had just summoned a Level Seven Flower Butterfly Beast. The Flower Butterfly Beast wasn't very strong in terms of strength and speed. It didn't have wind, thunder, lightning, or fire attributes. The reason why it could be ranked as a Level Seven Flower Butterfly Beast was because it had two special abilities: Invisibility and Confusion.
Invisibility didn't mean that one would completely disappear. It meant that one could blend into the surrounding environment. For example, if one stuck to a big tree, they would look like a piece of bark. If one lay in a pile of rocks, they would look like a piece of rock. This kind of Invisibility was very suitable for reconnaissance and sneak attacks. It was a special talent that every master needed.
The other ability of Confusion was also very useful. It could make people hallucinate by sprinkling Hallucinogenic Powder. It was especially useful to deal with enemies who were strong but weak mentally. It could completely transform the opponent into its own combat power.
"This Flower Butterfly Beast seems to be the nemesis of the Violent Golden Bear."
"Yeah, I also heard that once the Violent Golden Bear loses control, it might even attack its own master."
