Chapter 862: Lin Yuan is My Disciple!
The other 12 members of royalty did not react to the elderly man"s voice.
However, even the leaders of veteran and top factions felt that the rules for the Martial Arts Stage had crossed a line.
But the first person to stand behind Zuo Ming would become the brave person that the elderly man had been referring to.
The elderly man said to the Moon Empress, "Xiyue, where"s your disciple?"
The Moon Empress rolled her eyes.
What does my disciple have to do with you? My disciple is the best. He"s just too young.
She did not plan on asking Lin Yuan to partic.i.p.ate in the stages.
Just as she was about to reply, she was abruptly overcome with bewilderment because she noticed her precious disciple making a move.
Lin Yuan took a deep breath and thought, The rules for the Martial Arts Stage prove how important Creation Master powers are. But regardless, I have to partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Arts Stage for the sacred source lifeform and even more so for the Order or Radiant Light.
When Lin Yuan had been preparing for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, he was lacking power.
At that time, Lin Yuan had only had a Silver I/Fantasy I Jasmine Lily, but the Moon Empress had already mentioned the Radiance Envoys to him.
When Lin Yuan had first heard about the Radiance Envoys, the term imprinted itself into his mind.
As he continued to grow his power, he could now pa.s.s the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and become a member even with his eyes closed.
Thus, he was now setting his sights on becoming a Radiance Envoy.
The Order of Radiant Light would be a great a.s.set for him on the road to becoming a Radiance Envoy.
Lin Yuan nodded at Liu Jie, Long Tao, Gao Feng, Li Xuan, and Sun Ningxiang before walking toward Zuo Ming.
No one besides this small group knew that Lin Yuan was the Moon Empress" disciple, but the others did know that Chief Guard Ye"s disciple cared about this young man a lot.
When they saw that Lin Yuan was going to partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Arts Stage, the disciples of the veteran and top factions were extremely stunned.
Most of the people present had seen the Allstar Match and knew that Lin Yuan was talented in combat.
But due to the nature of the Martial Arts Stage, the compet.i.tion was not favorable to fighting skills. Unless one could place amongst the top two, there would be no opportunity to demonstrate their fighting abilities.
The people present were not unskilled like Meng Xu was.
Besides the unlucky Gao Feng, anyone who was present would be able to finish off Meng Xu in three moves.
Thus, the disciples of veteran and top factions had always regarded Lin Yuan as being merely talented rather than powerful.
Lin Yuan had just turned 18 years old and looked young. Thus, everyone a.s.sumed that he was around 17 years old.
His Creation Master powers should not be that strong at such an age even if he started training in the womb.
When it came to Creation Master powers, acc.u.mulation over time was just as important as talent. After all, not every Creation Master could be a genius like the Moon Empress, who had become a Cla.s.s 5 Creation Master before she reached 40 years old.
When the challengers who wanted to partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Arts Stage saw how casually Lin Yuan went to stand behind Zong Ze, they wondered if he was aiming to clinch the second-place winner of the Martial Arts Stage by counting on everyone else not having the courage to partic.i.p.ate. They would not let him do that!
Hence, many challengers also started to follow after Lin Yuan.
The Moon Empress did not expect Lin Yuan to be brave enough to partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Arts Stage.
But this was also good because it would allow Lin Yuan to spar with other outstanding young people and give her a good chance to witness her disciple"s power.
The Bamboo Monarch, Chef Supreme, Night Leaning Moon, Iron Prison, and Cicada Song all turned their gazes onto the Moon Empress.
They had all seen Lin Yuan before.
The Bamboo Monarch, Cicada Song, and Iron Prison turned to look at Chef Supreme with amus.e.m.e.nt.
They did not expect that the Moon Empress"s disciple would fight against the Chef Supreme"s youngest disciple. They wondered who was stronger.
Someone exclaimed, "Isn"t this Little Yuan?"
The voice sounded like it belonged to a fierce woman.
A man"s voice said, "Yingying, that"s really Little Yuan! He"s actually partic.i.p.ating in the Martial Arts Sequence. Let"s take him to Kitchen Fragrance Palace after the Guard Ye Banquet so he can try my new red braised meat recipe."
Zhang Yingying and Li Changlin had been chatting with w.a.n.g f.u.xiang and had not been paying attention to the Martial Stage.
They only looked over when they heard the voice from the phone mention the Martial Stage and were surprised to see Lin Yuan.
All the veteran and top factions leaders turned to look at Chef Supreme.
The young man who had stunned everyone at the Allstar Match turned out to be deeply connected to Chef Supreme in some way.
From the way Li Changlin and Zhang Yingying spoke, it seemed as though they regarded this young man as their own child.
Chef Supreme"s first disciple Li Changlin usually did not bother with anyone else. Yet, he was now taking the initiative to cook red braised meat for this young man.
This was big news!
Although the leaders of the veteran and top factions dared not show too much emotion in front of the members of royalty like how Li Changlin and Zhang Yingying did, they could talk normally.
Even some leaders had made bets on how many fights Liu Jie would win during the Martial Stage.
During that time, the topic of Lin Yuan"s ident.i.ty had also been brought up.
The Moon Empress had heard their discussion, and a ball of unspeakable fury rose up within her.
Lin Yuan is my disciple! Chef Supreme"s first disciple and daughter had just b.u.mped into him by coincidence when they eloped, and they became neighbors. How dare you link him to Chef Supreme instead of asking Chef Supreme if he even has the courage to take Lin Yuan under his wing!?
Mystic Moon and Cold Moon started to break out in cold sweat.
They knew the Moon Empress well, and she would never be able to stay calm in such circ.u.mstances.
