The promotion battle had come to an end.
Of course, some people were happy and some were sad. But no matter what, it was all in the past.
No matter what the result was, they had to come again next year.
"How are you guys?" Lin Feng turned around and asked.
At this moment, everyone was walking towards the plaza of Fierce Yan School.
With the end of the promotion battle, the celebration came to an end. Only the last event in the plaza was left. After the event, when night fell, it would be the night of revelry. They would play and enjoy themselves. The joy and craziness of the celebration only happened once a year.
"I'm lucky." Bai Yi smiled.
"Meng Huo and I both failed." Hua Shao waved his feather fan and said helplessly, "After all, we're not strong enough."
"Damn, don't drag me into this." Meng Huo curled his lips, "You're not strong enough, I'm just unlucky."
"Really?" Hua Shao squinted his eyes, "Then let's have a match?"
"I'm not afraid of you!" Meng Huo puffed out his chest.
…
Among the crowd, except for Bai Yi, everyone else failed in the promotion battle.
After all, it was not easy to be promoted as they had just entered the inner sect. Especially Shui Linglong, how could it be easy for her to be promoted as an inner sect disciple and her opponents were all at the same level as Bian Ruyu? On the other hand, Ji Xia and Qin Qianqian passed because of their great improvement in strength.
But to the crowd, the difference wasn't too big.
After all, they were all inner sect disciples.
"Actually, the promotion battle doesn't mean anything. The next Yanling Royal Residence is the main event." Ji Xia nodded and looked at the crowd, "According to the usual practice, the top ten of this year's genius selection will be given the identity token of Yanling Royal Residence."
Shui Linglong was the champion. Although Hua Shao and Meng Huo were not in the top three, they were qualified to be the fourth and sixth.
Even Bai Yi, who was slightly weaker at that time, was ranked tenth.
The three of them were qualified to be given the identity token of Yanling Royal Residence.
"That's a sacred place." Hua Shao's eyes lit up.
"Indeed, this year is the best opportunity." Bai Yi said seriously, "Next year, we'll have to fight for it in the ranking competition. Three months later, how much we can improve in Yanling Royal Residence will be the most important. With our current strength, if we really want to participate in the ranking competition, the chances of obtaining an identity token are very slim. "
Everyone nodded. Not to mention them, even Shui Linglong.
Only …
"It's a pity that Lin Feng didn't participate in the genius selection." Young Master Hua sighed.
"If Lin Feng is participating, I'm afraid I'll have to be ranked eleventh." Bai Yi smiled bitterly.
Shui Linglong's eyes flickered as she said softly, "With Lin Feng's strength, perhaps the sect will give him an identity token."
Every year, Fierce Yan School had 450 identity tokens. Apart from the 360 tokens that were distributed to the top 20 experts under 100 years old, there were still 90 tokens that were given as gifts by the school. Some of them were given to disciples who had made special contributions to the school, some to disciples whose potential was recognized, and some to disciples of elders and guardians.
Lin Feng smiled indifferently and glanced at Ji Xia.
He already had his own identity token, which was given to him by Ji Xia that day.
"Don't worry, I will go to the Yan Ling Imperial Residence with everyone," Lin Feng said with a smile.
"Oh!" "Wow!" "That's great!" Bai Yi and the others were pleasantly surprised. If they entered the Yan Ling Imperial Residence in a team, it would save them a lot of trouble and danger. Moreover, the most important thing was that they had to trust each other to form a team. If the members kept scheming against each other, it would be troublesome.
Ji Xia looked at everyone with a smile and said, "Count me in?"
"I can't ask for more!" Bai Yi said happily.
They had never entered the Yan Ling Imperial Residence before, but Ji Xia had been there a few times. He was very experienced.
With him leading the way, they would be able to get twice the result with half the effort.
"Brother Ji, aren't you going with the other senior brothers?" Lin Feng was surprised.
Normally, senior and junior brothers would form a team. They would be more familiar with each other and the team would be more cohesive.
"Master hasn't had any disciples for a long time." Ji Xia shrugged and said, "Compared to those candidates, it's more reliable to come with Lin Feng and the others."
Lin Feng smiled. Warriors who were over 100 years old couldn't enter the Yan Ling Imperial Residence. In fact, Senior Sima had very few disciples, unlike Han Lu and the other guardians who had a lot of disciples. There were a lot of good and bad people, so they chose the best and the worst.
"Me too, me too!" Qin Qianqian said angrily.
Everyone burst into laughter, instantly revealing joyful smiles.
The team of seven was decided just like that.
…
Li Yan Sect's square.
At this moment, the place was bustling with noise and excitement.
The square's main stage was giving out rewards, including Soul Coins, Soul Weapons, Soul Weapons, Spirit Treasures, and all kinds of rare items. There were all kinds of exclamations from below. The eyes of the warriors were filled with envy.
Four, five, and even six star treasures were given out in front of everyone.
Li Yan Sect was indeed rich.
"Small costs but big profits. It will attract more warriors to contribute to the sect." Lin Feng smiled.
Even if it was a six star treasure, the cheapest one would cost more than a hundred thousand Soul Coins, while the most expensive would only cost a few hundred thousand Soul Coins. It was totally affordable for Li Yan Sect. As long as he could make all the disciples envious, the amount of contribution he made to the sect in a year would be an incredible figure.
"This is nothing. It will be sensational later." Ji Xia smiled.
"Oh?" Lin Feng was surprised. "What other activities are there?"
"Lottery!" Qin Qianqian's eyes sparkled. "Every 1000 Sect Contribution Points can be exchanged for a 'paper lottery ticket'." Qin Qianqian pointed at the huge sealed metal box on the stage and said longingly, "Over the years, the first prize has always been a rare seven-star spirit treasure. If I can get it, I will be rich."
Lin Feng could not help but smile. The others were fine, but Qin Qianqian …
"Qianqian, do you still lack seven-star spirit treasures?" Lin Feng was speechless. As far as he knew, Qianqian had at least two seven-star spirit treasures.
The little princess of the Qin Chamber of Commerce was too rich.
"It's fun!" Qin Qianqian stuck out her tongue and said excitedly, "Lin Da Ge, you don't know how happy I am when I win the lottery!"
"You've won it before?" Lin Feng asked curiously.
Qin Qianqian shook her head like a rattle-drum. "But Fifth Senior Brother has won it twice. He can't stop smiling."
Lin Feng nodded. He could understand.
It was like accidentally picking up a treasure. How could one not be happy?
"Look, Lin Da Ge, it's starting!" Qin Qianqian was overjoyed.
Following Qin Qianqian's gaze, Lin Feng's eyes sparkled. At this moment, the surroundings were already quiet. Everyone held their breaths and waited for the lottery to start. Even Ji Xia, who was always calm, had hope in her eyes. Only Bai Yi and the others, who were also newcomers, did not care. They just watched curiously.
"Seven-star spirit treasure." Lin Feng smiled faintly.
Grasping people's wishful thinking and infinitely magnifying the tiny hope.
Most importantly, everyone had a chance.
…
The lottery ended very quickly. The first prize was won by an intermediate inner sect disciple.
That man cried tears of joy. To a martial artist, the value of a seven-star spirit treasure was enough to raise their overall strength by an entire level.
"Fei Luming, tenth level Star Sea State."
"Han Lu's ninth disciple. After obtaining the seven-star spirit treasure, his strength …"
"It's hard to estimate."
Lin Feng's eyes lit up.
Others might not recognize him, but Han Lu's disciples knew him very well.
This Fei Luming's luck was not bad. Seven-star spirit treasures were extremely rare in the Yanling Prefecture. Even the cheapest one was worth more than two million Soul Spirit Coins.
It was no wonder he cried tears of joy.
"Damn, the grand prize was won by Han Lu's group." Qin Qianqian stomped her feet.
"What can we do about it?" Ji Xia shrugged, feeling helpless.
Han Lu and Sima Xi were not on good terms with each other. Their disciples were like fire and water. They did not like each other. Looking at Qin Qianqian and Ji Xia's expressions, Lin Feng could not help but laugh. "Alright, it's all destined. Even a seven-star spirit treasure doesn't mean anything."
As he spoke, Lin Feng glanced at Qin Qianqian. Instantly, the latter's face turned red. She said angrily, "Lin Da Ge!"
Seeing Qin Qianqian's embarrassed look, Bai Yi and the others laughed heartily. Even Ji Xia laughed. The unpleasant atmosphere immediately disappeared.
At this moment, Han Lu was sitting on a rattan chair at the side of the stage. His eyes were shining with a cold light.
After the end of the lucky draw, the last event of the celebration was —
The disciple recruitment event!
"Lin Feng, after the seven elders are done recruiting disciples, it'll be my turn!" Han Lu gritted his teeth.
"At that time, I'll make you wish you were dead!"
…
Under everyone's gaze, it was extremely lively.
Especially the inner disciples. They were all looking forward to this' disciple recruitment event '.
This was the most 'intimate' face-to-face interaction between the elders, protectors, and the Sect Master. The disciples who were pointed out could be said to be extremely doted on. It was certain that they would become candidate disciples. Many disciples who performed well were directly accepted as official disciples.
It was like a fish leaping over the dragon's gate.
Lin Feng smiled as he looked at everyone. At this moment, everyone's eyes were shining.
Bai Yi, Shui Linglong, Young Master Hua, and Meng Huo were looking forward to this moment the most!
However …
"Silence!" A loud voice sounded.
When it landed in their ears, it was like the sound of a bell. The entire square instantly became silent.
What was puzzling was that the Grand Elder who appeared at the top of the square, who should have the priority to choose, had changed to someone else.
It was an elegant and handsome man in white. His face was filled with a gentle and elegant aura.
Sect Master Ji Jin!
Everyone was stunned.
However, they didn't know what had happened.
"Before the event begins, I have a piece of news to announce," Ji Jin said calmly. His voice was very calm and had an unquestionable determination.
Everyone's eyes focused, especially the protectors and Sect Master. They frowned slightly as if they understood something. The seven elders, on the other hand, were indifferent. Their expressions didn't change at all because they already knew what would happen.
Ji Jin wouldn't change his decision.
This was because every decision he made was made after careful consideration countless times.
"I hereby announce that I, Ji Jin, will officially accept the ordinary outer sect disciple, Lin Feng, as my disciple.
"He will be the third successor to the Sect Master!"
