Half an hour later.
More than 1,500 local elite warriors of the Xuan Chu Guard Mansion quietly gathered at the Western City Guard Army's garrison.
Among these 1,500 warriors, about 80% of them were Martial Masters who were younger than 20 years old.
The rest were Spirit Reader Masters, Peak Martial Masters, Peak Martial Grandmasters, Martial Grandmasters under 50 years old, and King Realm cultivators.
Everyone quietly gathered on a military field near the Western City Gate. They were all excited and excited.
"Have you heard? The apprenticeship ceremony is continuing. Now the City Governor's Office has gathered all of us here. It's most likely to take us to meet Dr. Yang!"
"Yes, yes. I heard that the new City Governor of Xuan Chu, Lord Ling Tian, is also Master Yang Fan's favorite student. He is deeply trusted and favored by Master Yang Fan. With Lord Ling Tian speaking up for us, Master Yang Fan will definitely accept more disciples this time!"
"I'm looking forward to it! The opportunity is right in front of me. No matter what, I must become Doctor Yang's disciple today! "
"I have been stuck at the peak of Martial Grandmaster for decades. The previous two Emperor Falls caused the rumbling of the Great Path, but it didn't let I successfully break through. Now, becoming Master Yang Fan's disciple may be I's only chance …"
"Peak Martial Grandmaster is nothing. I've been stuck at the peak of King Realm for almost 50 years. Did I say anything? No matter what, I must succeed in becoming his disciple today. If I don't break through, I'm going to die of old age, okay? "
"…"
On the surface, everyone was very quiet. They stood upright like obedient children, looking straight ahead. No one whispered or talked in low voices.
However, secretly, the spirit wills and blood energy waves of these one thousand five hundred warriors had long been boiling.
They were constantly communicating with each other. All of them were extremely excited.
Deputy City Governor Zhao Junsheng, City Defense Commander Zhou Yaqing, and Finance Director Tu Kaipeng were all in the Emperor Realm. Naturally, they could clearly hear these people's Blood Qi Sound Transmissions and thoughts.
However, they didn't say anything to stop them.
In fact, after receiving Ling Tian's orders, the three of them were unexpectedly excited.
Unexpectedly, less than ten minutes after they proposed to Ling Tian, Yang Fan already had a definite reply.
Following Ling Tian's instructions, they quickly gathered all the cultivators who met the conditions and were willing to become apprentices to a relatively empty and quiet place.
Just like the excited elite warriors, the three of them were also very excited and nervous.
After all, they themselves had been stuck in the Emperor Realm for quite some time. If possible, who wouldn't want to improve their cultivation further?
"Vice City Lord Zhao, do you think that Yang shi will be surprised and displeased if he sees the few of us joining the group to acknowledge him as their teacher?"
Zhou Yaqing sent a voice transmission to Zhao Junsheng, feeling a little nervous.
Previously, they were not on the list of apprentices. Now that they were suddenly added, what if Doctor Yang and the City Lord were dissatisfied with them?
"He won't." Zhao Junsheng shook his head firmly, "Our cultivation realms are also within Doctor Yang's standards for apprenticeship, so Doctor Yang shouldn't mind."
"Don't forget that Yang shi once said that he didn't take in disciples purely to strengthen his sect or for his own benefit. His greatest goal was to increase the number of top-notch cultivators in the Human Federation," Zhang Xuan said with a frown.
"We are all in the Emperor Realm now. Although we are not in the top group, we are definitely not weak. As long as we are sincere about becoming apprentices, Doctor Yang has no reason to refuse us!"
Previously, when Yang Fan was in the capital, he could even take in the old City Lord Tu, who was in the peak Emperor Realm. This showed that Yang Fan didn't care about the concept of apprenticeship, nor did he care if you had other masters before. As long as you were willing to become his apprentice, he most likely wouldn't refuse!
This was the reason why Zhao Junsheng and the others were tempted and even decided to become Yang Fan's apprentices.
Looking at the apprentices that Yang Fan had accepted along the way, almost all levels, forces, and cultivators from various families were included. It was a big mess.
It seemed that as long as someone was willing to take him as their master, he would not reject anyone and would accept them into his sect.
Thus, compared to Ling Tian, Sang Duoduo, Ji Danyun, Tu Haoyan, and Ji Lianghuai who were either from a large family, a large sect, or the ruler of a territory, or the disciples of peerless geniuses, the three of them would not be able to cause any waves.
"That's right. Previously, in the Northwest Guardian Residence, Yang shi took in nearly two thousand five hundred disciples in one go. From this, one can see that Yang shi's spirit is great and his breadth of mind is broad. The few of us are nothing to him."
Tu Kaipeng also interjected softly, as if he was cheering himself on.
However, as soon as his voice fell, there was a slight spatial fluctuation in the air above the barracks. In the next second, Yang Fan, An Sheng, Ling Tian, and Sang Duoduo broke through the air and arrived.
Whoosh!
The entire field was silent in an instant.
All of their Qi, blood, and consciousness returned to their bodies. Everyone's eyes were wide open as they looked at Yang Fan and the others with fervent gazes.
"Doctor Yang! Lord Ling Tian! Lord An Sheng … "
Zhao Junsheng, Zhou Yabiao, and Tu Kaipeng quivered and quickly stepped forward at the same time, bowing to Yang Fan and the others.
After listening to the Deputy City Lord give a general description of the 1,500 apprentices in front of him, Yang Fan nodded gently and said directly,
"I still say the same thing. Anyone who sincerely wants to be my disciple, the Demon Extermination Sect will not refuse."
"Now, a hundred people in a row, accept the identity screening and aptitude inspection. If there are no problems, we will immediately begin the apprenticeship ceremony."
Yang Fan glanced at the group of prospective apprentices in front of him with satisfaction, a smile on his face.
Even though the vast majority of these prospective apprentices were Martial Masters, there were only a pitiful dozen or twenty Kings and Sovereigns.
However, Yang Fan did not show the slightest disdain or dissatisfaction. No matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. It did not matter if their cultivation was low at the moment. As long as they were sincere and willing to work hard, after one Emperor Perish, they would all become masters.
For example, most of the 2,500 new disciples he had taken in at the Northwest Guardian's Residence had already advanced to the King Realm. The amount of cultivation experience they could provide Yang Fan with at any given moment was huge, and it was extremely impressive.
Therefore, Yang Fan would never despise his disciples for being too weak. With an awesome master like him, Yang Fan would be able to nurture them in a short period of time no matter how weak they were.
Moreover, the apprentices that he had personally nurtured were much more loyal and admired than those apprentices who had just entered the sect as Kings, Emperors, and even half-step Emperors.
"Yes, Doctor Yang!"
Hearing Yang Fan's instructions, Zhao Junsheng bowed in response. Then, he personally organized the 1,500 martial artists below to adjust their formation. They were divided into groups of 100 people, and they were screened and inspected by Yang Fan in batches.
Soon, the grouping was completed. When the first group of martial artists walked neatly in front of Yang Fan, Yang Fan stroked his cat with one hand and glanced at the 100 prospective apprentices in front of him.
In an instant, his Spiritual Domain enveloped all of them.
"You used the Charm skill on the Level 4 Martial Master Liu Minhong. The Charm was successful. Liu Minhong's favorability towards you has greatly increased. Mental Power + 10, Spiritual Willpower + 10, Skill Proficiency + 5."
"You used the Charm skill on the Level 6 Martial Ancestor Yu Ming. The Charm was successful. Yu Ming's favorability towards you has greatly increased. Mental Power + 10, Spiritual Willpower + 10, Skill Proficiency + 5."
"You used the Charm skill on the Peak Martial Master Ding Junliang. The Charm was successful. Ding Junliang's favorability towards you has greatly increased …"
"…"
The so-called screening and inspection had always been an excuse.
Yang Fan's real goal was to turn all of these prospective apprentices into his own people before they officially acknowledged him as their master. Only by raising their favorability to an extremely amiable state would Yang Fan be able to obtain a large amount of Sect Loyalty from them after they had successfully acknowledged him as their master.
This way, it would save time and effort. It would also save Yang Fan a large amount of time and effort to obtain Sect Experience.
Of course, if he could conveniently obtain a few Variant Humans and Demon Spirit Spies from these prospective apprentices, it would also be quite good. It could even be considered an unexpected surprise.
Very quickly.
After the screening of the first batch of hundred-man teams was completed, all of them became Yang Fan's people. Their gazes towards Yang Fan were filled with warmth and friendliness.
Then, it was the second group, the third group …
After spending about a quarter of an hour, Yang Fan finally finished screening the fifteen batches of over 1,500 people.
There wasn't a single Variant Human mixed in, nor was there a single Demon Spirit Spies.
"Not bad!" Yang Fan nodded his head in satisfaction. He waved his hand and said in a clear voice, "Since they are all sincere in joining the sect, then accept them all!"
"Including the few of you!" After that, Yang Fan turned his gaze to Zhao Junsheng, Zhou Yaqing, Tu Kaipeng, and the other main leaders of the City Governor's Office. He said lightly, "If you are also interested in joining my Demon Extermination Sect, then acknowledge me as your master!"
Hearing this, Zhao Junsheng and the others were instantly overjoyed and hurriedly bowed.
"Thank you, Doctor Yang! We are willing to acknowledge you as our master! "
Several people were extremely excited. Obviously, their voice transmission had already fallen into Master Yang Fan's ears. Otherwise, Master Yang Fan wouldn't have already understood their intentions before they even asked.
"Good, congratulations to all Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters for passing Master's preliminary screening test!"
An Sheng, the chief Senior Brother, stood up at the right time. With a smile on his chubby little round face, he spoke loudly to all the martial artists present.
"Let me introduce myself first. I am An Sheng, Master's chief disciple, the chief disciple of the Demon Extermination Sect. Next, I will preside over this apprenticeship ceremony."
"Now, Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, please follow my command. All of you step forward, face Master, and bow …"
