Chapter 842: The Reemergence of Lin Yuan’s Passion
The Moon Empress felt that she was failing as a Master.
Although she knew that Lin Yuan had constantly been working hard, she had no clue to what extent his power had risen.
She coughed and said, “My disciple is strong.”
The Moon Empress did not elaborate further.
She wanted to take Lin Yuan with her to the Guard Ye Banquet and debut him to the public. Thus, she had not told him much about the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, and Martial Arts Stage.
Lin Yuan was only 18 years old, and she felt that it was unfair for him to fight against 27 or 28-year-olds.
The person on the other end of the phone coughed lightly. He was surprised that the Moon Empress had not taken the opportunity to brag about her disciple.
“This year, the prize for the Martial Arts Stage is the Order of Radiant Light. I’ve already handed it to Leaning Moon. Since this is a prize for the Guard Ye Banquet, Leaning Moon should present it.”
The voice on the other end of the call sounded calm, but it stirred the leaders of the veteran and top factions’ leaders.
Previously, it was only announced that a sacred source lifeform would be part of the prize for the Martial Arts Stage, and this was already enough to drive people crazy with yearning.
But no one imagined that on top of the sacred source lifeform, there would be the even more precious Order of Radiant Light as well.
At that moment, everyone hoped that their younger generation of disciples would be able to win the Martial Arts Stage.
However, they all knew that it was not so easy to win the Martial Arts Stage.
The Moon Empress, Chief Guard Ye, Chef Supreme, and the Bamboo Monarch’s disciples were the most likely candidates to be the victor for the Martial Arts Stage.
The gleam in the eyes of the leaders of veteran and top factions darkened slightly.
At that moment, the calm voice on the other end of the call said, “Cicada Song, you were intending on choosing a disciple at the Guard Ye Banquet. Are you still planning on doing so?”
A man seated on one of the 13 seats with a smiling face and eyes that retained joy even in his rest state said, “You might not be aware, but not only am I still planning on doing so, but even Iron Prison wants to accept a disciple now that he knows I’m doing so.”
The man with the smiling face glanced at a man with an austere and stony face seated beside him.
Cicada Song felt like Iron Prison was just a copycat.
When I said I wasn’t going to accept disciples, he didn’t accept any either. But now that I want to, he immediately wants to accept a disciple too.
As he looked at Iron Prison’s grumpy expression, Cicada Song felt that it would be torture to become Iron Prison’s disciple.
The man with smiling eyes did not know that his words had immediately caused the eyes of the leaders of the veteran and top factions behind him to light up with excitement.
There had been rumors that Cicada Song was intending on accepting a disciple, but now, the rumors were proven true.
Moreover, it was even discovered that Iron Prison was also going to be choosing a disciple at the Guard Ye Banquet.
Although it was unknown what their criteria for accepting disciples were, the chances for the various families’ disciples to become the disciples of the two members of royalty had risen significantly.
It was all but certain that the Order of Radiant Light would fall into the hands of either the Moon Empress, Chief Guard Ye, Chef Supreme, or the Bamboo Monarch’s disciples.
The other disciples might as well not compete at all.
But now that there was the chance to become the disciple of one of the members of royalty, the current disciples of the members of royalty were automatically excluded.
After all, it was impossible for two members of royalty to teach the same disciple because it would be seen as snatching each other’s disciples.
Hence, these two spots were available for the disciples of the veteran and top factions.
If any of the disciples of the veteran and top factions could become either Lord Cicada Song or Lord Iron Prison’s disciple, they would have just as much chance as the current disciples of the members of royalty to fight for future Orders of Radiant Light is whenever the opportunity arose.
With the attention of the entire Midnight Palace on him, Zuo Ming announced the rules of the Arts Stage, Martial Stage, and Martial Arts Stage’s rules and prizes.
Lin Yuan nodded when he heard Zuo Ming mention the prizes for the Arts Stage and Martial Stage.
The prizes for the champion of the Arts Stage and Martial Stage were just as Liu Jie had said, while the prizes for the second and third place were clearly inferior to that of the first place.
Nonetheless, the crowd was extremely interested.
When the prize for the Martial Arts Stage was announced, the crowd was stirred into an uproar.
The mentioning of the Order of Radiant Light made Gu Lang look depressed.
He was not a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. Although he had obtained an Order of Radiant Light before, there was no limit to how many a person could have.
Gu Lang had the chance to try out to become a Radiance Envoy with his Order of Radiant Light.
However, another Order of Radiant Light would undoubtedly increase his chances of becoming a Radiance Envoy.
Gu Lang and Zong Ze became the center of attention the moment they stepped into the area outside the Midnight Palace.
As elite as Liu Jie’s status was as Chief Guard Ye’s disciple and Lin Yuan’s identity was shrouded in mystery, they had stolen the attention of the crowd for almost three hours.
Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Long Tao, and the rest had also noticed Gu Lang and Zong Ze.
Long Tao said to Lin Yuan, “The one in purple with purple bamboo embroidery on his clothes is named Gu Lang. He’s Lord Bamboo Monarch’s youngest disciple. The one in the scratched-up half-armor is named Zong Ze. He’s Chef Supreme’s youngest disciple.”
While Long Tao was introducing the two of them to Lin Yuan, the latter started to look at Zong Ze and Gu Lang with suspicion.
For some reason, Lin Yuan felt that there was a strange sacred source lifeform aura radiating from the two of them as though they had just recently used sacred source lifeforms.
At the same time, Lin Yuan was flooded with excitement.
He had not felt this fervent passion in a while.
The last time he had this feeling was in the fight with Chen Hongfeng before he had even ascended the Celestial Stairway.
As a combat-class spirit qi professional in a healing-type spirit qi professional’s skin, Lin Yuan was naturally impulsive.
Impulsive people loved to fight.
Although he had already fought once at the Allstar Match, he had dominated that match from start to end, and it had not excited him at all.
But now, Lin Yuan felt like he was finally about to have a good fight.
