Chapter 1203 - 1105: Second Only to One, Above All Others
The Palace Master, holding the Yin Fire Token, arrived at the Cultivation Room with Xiao Ming.
At this moment, Yang Tian was sitting there.
All around him, the Inner Sect Disciples looked at Yang Tian warily, as if afraid that Yang Tian might strike at any moment.
Sensing Xiao Ming’s presence, Yang Tian opened his eyes and stood up.
"What do you intend to do!"
Everyone was startled and instinctively stood up.
Yang Tian looked coldly at these Inner Sect Disciples: "Get lost!"
"Yang Tian, you’ve got some nerve!"
A sharp voice rang out as two old men descended into the crowd, none other than Xiao Ming and the Palace Master.
"Master, Yang Tian claims he has successfully transformed the Divine Martial Arts!"
One disciple said anxiously.
"If what Yang Tian says is false, we will execute him immediately to prevent him from tarnishing our reputation!"
Another disciple shouted.
The crowd started shouting: "Execute Yang Tian, he must not leave here alive!"
"Yang Tian, show me your skills and open my eyes. If not, you will die here today!"
Xiao Ming took a step forward, landing right in front of Yang Tian.
Yang Tian frowned.
He noticed the Palace Master holding a token, and for some reason, he felt the situation was premeditated.
But he had no choice now.
"Emperor Divine Fist!"
Yang Tian shouted, performing the moves of the Emperor Divine Fist in midair.
Each move was executed with form and style.
The entire area fell silent, everyone fixed their eyes on Yang Tian.
After all, Yang Tian’s claim of transforming the Divine Martial Arts filled them with skepticism, leaving them eager to see how Yang Tian might fail.
"Every move of yours follows the Emperor Divine Fist, yet I feel no transformation!"
Xiao Ming said in a deep voice.
Yang Tian ignored Xiao Ming and continued to perform the Emperor Divine Fist in midair.
In the final moment, he unleashed a barrage of Divine Fists, which converged and shot towards Xiao Ming.
"Let me see if your Emperor Divine Fist is stronger than mine!"
Xiao Ming sneered, flying up and performing the Emperor Divine Fist in midair.
However, Xiao Ming’s Emperor Divine Fist was clearly in conflict with the Divine Breath in the air.
In contrast, Yang Tian’s Emperor Divine Fist, with a strike, quickly fused with the Divine Breath in the air, finally crashing into Xiao Ming’s front, shattering Xiao Ming’s Emperor Divine Fist with just one blow.
The powerful Divine Breath struck heavily against Xiao Ming’s chest with a thump.
Thud!
Xiao Ming spat blood and was sent flying backward.
"Ah!"
The crowd exclaimed in surprise.
They couldn’t believe Yang Tian had repelled Xiao Ming with just one strike.
After all, Xiao Ming was an elder of Yihua Palace.
"What a youngster!" Xiao Ming exclaimed, wiping the blood from his mouth. He circulated his Divine Breath and quickly returned to normal, fixing his gaze on Yang Tian: "It seems you really have transformed the Inner Sect Disciples’ Divine Martial Arts. Very well, you can become my disciple and enjoy all of my cultivation resources!"
Yang Tian realized that Xiao Ming was generous, seeing that he did not pursue the issue of his injury.
He nodded: "Then I thank you, Master!"
"Master?"
The surrounding crowd was startled, looking at Yang Tian with a mix of dissatisfaction and reverence, knowing that Yang Tian’s display of the Emperor Divine Fist was something even an elder like Xiao Ming couldn’t contend with, let alone the other disciples.
"What are you all dawdling for? Quickly, call him Senior Brother!"
Xiao Ming shouted.
"Senior Brother?"
The crowd was again taken aback.
"Indeed, I want Yang Tian to enjoy all cultivation resources and represent us in the martial arts tournament!"
Excitement flashed in Xiao Ming’s eyes.
"Have him participate in the martial arts tournament?"
The crowd was full of surprise.
They knew that as Inner Sect Disciples, they weren’t qualified to participate in the martial arts tournament; only Core Disciples were. But the hall managed by Xiao Ming consisted entirely of Inner Sect Disciples, and if Yang Tian could participate in the tournament, it would at least give them hope.
"Senior Brother!"
Everyone bowed respectfully in salute.
Yang Tian’s ability to transform the Core Disciples’ Divine Martial Arts showed that he was very talented.
Perhaps after participating in the martial arts tournament, Yang Tian would catapult to fame?
Thinking of this, everyone was filled with anticipation.
"Yang Tian, come here, let me introduce you..."
Xiao Ming waved, signaling for Yang Tian to come over.
Yang Tian approached Xiao Ming, but looked at the nearby Palace Master: "Palace Master, do I have the qualification to participate in the martial arts tournament?"
"This year, Yihua Palace is hosting the martial arts tournament, with more slots than usual, but only Core Disciples are qualified. Your successful transformation of the Core Disciples’ Divine Martial Arts shows that your insight is not lacking, and as it affects the development of our Yihua Palace, I need to promote you!" The Palace Master paused before continuing: "I want to promote you to Venerable Yin Fire!"
"Venerable Yin Fire?"
The crowd was puzzled, not understanding what this meant.
At that moment, Xiao Ming was suddenly shaken: "Palace Master, are you serious? You want to promote Yang Tian to Venerable Yin Fire?"
"Yes, precisely Venerable Yin Fire!"
The Palace Master nodded.
"But Venerable Yin Fire was abolished two hundred years ago, wasn’t it?" Xiao Ming realized the gravity of the situation: "Venerable Yin Fire and Venerable Yang Huo are known as the two most sacred saints in Yihua Palace, their status second only to the Palace Master, wielding power surpassed by none but the Palace Master!"
"How terrifying?"
The crowd gasped in shock.
If Venerable Yin Fire was truly so revered, then Yang Tian would ascend rapidly.
But who gave the Palace Master the authority to bestow the title of Venerable Yin Fire upon Yang Tian?
"This is the Palace Master’s decision. Though Yang Tian’s current cultivation is low, his talent is outstanding, fundamentally transforming our Yihua Palace’s Divine Martial Arts. He is crucial for Yihua Palace to stand above the entire Gemelo Continent. Therefore, the Palace Master instructed me to give the Yin Fire Token to Yang Tian, making him Venerable Yin Fire and jointly discussing major affairs of Yihua Palace!"
After the Palace Master spoke, he presented the Yin Fire Token.
Yang Tian frowned.
His intuition told him there was deceit involved.
He couldn’t believe Hua Tiandu would be so generous!
He was a disciple of the Drunkard, would Hua Tiandu really let Yang Tian grow like this?
Either it’s a strategy of appeasement, or the token itself is a trap.
Regardless, neither seems beneficial to Yang Tian.
"Yang Tian, what are you hesitating for? Take the Yin Fire Token, and you’ll be Venerable Yin Fire, beside the Palace Master, above all others!"
Seeing Yang Tian in a daze, Xiao Ming shouted.
And the Palace Master calmly said, "This is the Palace Master’s command; failure to comply means death for us both, and even the Drunkard would find no sanctuary here."
Yang Tian frowned; it seemed he had no choice but to accept the Yin Fire Token!
