Chapter 3036 - Disciple Li Tianming Pays Respects to Master
Tianming knew that whoever stepped forward would be offending Reverend Daolie. Reverend Daolie clearly had no reason to punish Tianming and was just trying to help his son achieve first place; he had no shame left. Anyone who opposed him would inevitably contribute to the spread of the news, tarnis.h.i.+ng his reputation. It might even become a major grudge. Offending an ancient family was something everyone had to consider.
If Huang Daolie hadn’t stirred up trouble and it was just Tianming "accidentally" killing Huang Jihuang, accepting him wouldn"t be considered such a serious offense. However, Reverend Daolie was definitely in a difficult position now and would definitely kill Tianming!
Li Fan"s words did have some effect, though. Soon, someone said, "Reverend Daolie, why don"t you take a break for a while?"
"Let"s test with a few more blood tracers!"
"I have some here."
Some people took the opportunity to flick a lot of blood tracers onto Tianming. Seeing that, he immediately moved toward the people speaking, disregarding everything and hiding among them.
The blood tracers took effect, all turning red and indicating that he was less than a hundred years old. To be honest, at that moment, many people"s eyes had already changed when they looked at him.
An outer mundi genius achieving first place on the Skyward Ranking, although it had made history, wasn"t that impressive when considering age. The elders who were accustomed to seeing geniuses in Myriadpath Valley didn"t think much of it. But if Tianming was not only younger than Huang Daoxiong and the others, but was only one-third their age, then the disparity was significant!
Huang Daolie naturally saw it clearly. Not even he doubted Tianming"s age now, let alone others.
However, Reverend Daolie sneered and said, "His age is fine, his strength is fine, and it seems like his talent is also fine. But everyone should open their eyes and see clearly. This is just a lowly tainted beastmaster with mixed human and beast blood. Don"t be deceived just because he seems promising right now. Maybe this’ll be his limit for his entire life. Whether he can become a foundationeer in his lifetime is uncertain. It isn’t the same as our true inner valley geniuses. I advise you all not to take the risk, lest you end up as a joke in the end."
His words were indeed arrogant. After all, unlike ordinary reverends, he had a prestigious family and real power!
That threat, combined with the other perspective he had mentioned, made some of the elders who’d been tempted cool off. Tianming saw on the spot that many people who’d wanted to speak had shut their mouths and taken several steps back, preparing to leave and completely ignore what was happening here.
"Heh, resign yourself. Struggling in front of me, how naive," Reverend Daolie sneered. To be honest, if Tianming hadn"t been able to resist the order suppression of his foundation fortress, he would have died by his hands long ago. Of course, even if Tianming wriggled like an eel and could still withstand his fatal blow, before the words "tainted beastmaster", he had to die!
Tianming didn"t expect that because of that forced fusion, he would now inexplicably have the ident.i.ty of a lowly tainted beastmaster and be looked down upon.
"What a place that benefits the powerful!" He’d tried his best, but Myriadpath Valley had still taught him a lesson as a newcomer. The rules of compet.i.tion there were different from the Infinitum Bodhimanda. Even though he was under a hundred years old, the people in front of him still retreated. The shadow of Reverend Daolie was already looming behind him!
He stared at the group of elders in front of him, and they looked back at him with complex expressions. Everyone saw the desire for survival in his eyes; however, amidst the twists and turns, no one made a decision.
Just at this critical moment, a blue light suddenly appeared in front of Tianming.
Blue was his favorite color. That was simply because Jiang Feiling liked blue... and because her blue mini skirts were spectacular.
Although thinking about blue mini skirts at such a time was a bit inappropriate, he clearly saw that the person who finally came out to save him was a woman wearing a blue skirt. However, her dress was long and ice blue in color. Pearls adorned it like stars, s.h.i.+ning like a starry sky of blue.
In that brief glance, Tianming saw that she had long, waterfall-like blue hair and a tall and slender figure comparable to Demoness Yin’s. She was yet another outstanding beauty. However, she was different from Demoness Yin"s hotness. She was like ice chiseled into shape. When she pa.s.sed him, he felt a bone-piercing chill, as if he had come to an icy nova source world.
Half of his body was even frozen. Of course, even if he was frozen, his efforts and composure had finally attracted someone who’d taken an interest in him. He felt a sudden relaxation after the lengthy suffocation. After his narrow brush with death, he had matured. He had learnt to be more ruthless, more fierce, and of course, better at hiding!
The woman was already standing behind him, blocking Reverend Daolie. Looking at her from behind, her long blue dress accentuated her figure. Her slender waist could definitely make people"s eyes pop out. Too awesome!
Tianming suddenly felt grateful to her and thought about how to repay her in the future for offending Reverend Daolie for him.
The appearance of the woman also caused many people to exclaim.
Reverend Daolie was still sneering, but the sudden appearance of a figure in front of him made him pause. When he saw the person"s face, he clenched his fists and burst into anger. He had already acted so aggressive and spoken such harsh words. He couldn’t back down, yet someone dared to show such disrespect to him. How could he not be irritated?
"Lan Yun!" Veins bulged on his body as Reverend Daolie roared like a lion.
However, the woman in front of him was like a cold blue python, quenching his anger with frost. Her voice was as cold as her appearance, freezing everyone on the spot. Before Reverend Daolie"s towering rage, she directly said, "I"ll take this child. He’ll be my disciple from now on."
With just one short, hard, and cold sentence, she had given Huang Daolie no face at all.
"You!" Reverend Daolie was suddenly so angry that smoke seemed to come out of his body. Accepting disciples was one thing, but for Lan Yun to take this specific disciple was like a slap to his face.
"It"s Reverend Lan Yun...."
"Her temperament is really top-notch!"
For a while, everyone animatedly discussed the plot twist, their eyes wide open, eager to see what would happen.
Tianming was overjoyed. Not to mention that the person who suddenly appeared was a magnificent beauty who combined coldness and fierceness, even if it was an old man, he would acknowledge them. So he quickly reacted and bowed to Reverend Lan Yun. "Disciple Li Tianming pays respects to Master!"
