Chapter 18 Poison Undying Accepts Disciple! Liu Yuan Designated as the Next Sect Successor!
Inside the Elders' Hall, the golden light gradually faded, but the sacred and domineering aura still lingered in the air.
And Elder Chen's shout, "Quickly inform the sect leader!"...
It was like a thunderclap, instantly waking everyone from their daze.
"Wow!"
Long Aotian was the first to react.
Although he is usually arrogant, he can distinguish between what is important and what is urgent.
The emergence of a genius with the potential for a second awakening at the Gold level is absolutely crucial for the Body Sect!
So without any hesitation, he stomped his foot and shot out of the Elders' Hall like a cannonball. His speed was so great that it even created a gust of wind, causing the eternal lamp at the entrance to sway.
"I'm going too!"
Wang Yanfeng, Chen Lu, and others also realized what was happening and followed suit.
Although they can't get involved in witnessing such a historic moment, they can still run errands without any problem.
Vina watched the group leave in a hurry, a smile playing on her lips. Then she turned to look at Liu Yuan, who was still standing in the center of the magic circle, her eyes filled with admiration and satisfaction.
Liu Yuan, you really are outstanding...
...
At this moment, deep within the Body Sect, in the Sect Master's Hall.
This hall is even more magnificent than the Elders' Hall, constructed entirely of black basalt, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
In front of a quiet room deep inside the hall, several disciples stood guard at the door, trembling with fear.
"Keep a close watch, everyone. I'm going into seclusion. Even if the sky falls, don't bother me!"
Just half an hour ago, the hot-tempered and incredibly powerful sect leader, Poison Undying, left behind these harsh words and then disappeared into the meditation room.
However, at this moment—
"Master! Master! Something terrible has happened... No, it's incredibly good news!"
A deep and urgent voice came from outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, Long Aotian rushed into the hall like a whirlwind, completely ignoring the guards at the door and heading straight for the meditation room.
"Senior brother! The sect leader is currently in seclusion..."
The guards tried to stop him, but Long Aotian pushed them aside.
Long Aotian stood in front of the meditation room, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Master! Come out quickly! Something terrible has happened!"
Inside the quiet room, Du Bu Si, who was originally sitting cross-legged, preparing to enter a meditative state, had veins bulging on his forehead.
He suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of anger appearing in his green pupils.
"You bastard!"
With a loud bang, the stone door of the quiet room was blasted open by a violent surge of soul power.
Poison Undying strode out with his towering, iron-tower-like body, exuding a terrifying aura, like an enraged lion.
"Long Aotian! Are you asking for a beating?" Du Busi glared, his voice booming like thunder.
"I just said I was going into seclusion, and you dare to cause trouble? If it's not something important, I'll skin you alive today!"
Facing his enraged master, Long Aotian showed no fear whatsoever. Instead, he said excitedly, "Master, even if you're going to skin me alive, you'll have to hear me out first! Our sect... has a new disciple!"
"A new disciple?" Poisonous Immortal was even angrier. "Is this all the trivial matter? Does a new disciple's entry into the sect require my personal attention? What is Elder Chen good for? What are you good for?"
"This isn't an ordinary disciple, Master!" Long Aotian stamped his feet anxiously, explaining rapidly, "That new disciple, in the test just now, was found to have the potential for a second-stage martial soul awakening at the 'Gold level'!"
"What kind of bullshit Gold-level is this? Even if it's Silver-level, don't bother me..."
Poison couldn't kill him, and his voice suddenly stopped.
He seemed to be frozen in place, as if by a spell.
A few seconds later, his eyes widened like saucers, and his breathing became rapid and labored: "What...what did you just say? Say it again? What level?"
"Gold-level!" Long Aotian was struggling to breathe, but he still managed to shout, "Master! It's Gold-level! It really is Gold-level! Elder Chen has already confirmed it, that's why I rushed here to inform you!"
"Yellow...gold grade..."
Du Bu Si was stunned, then a surge of joy instantly welled up in his heart, causing his originally somewhat ferocious old face to instantly turn into a chrysanthemum-like smile.
"Hahahaha! Gold level! It really is gold level? God has opened his eyes! Hahahaha!"
Before Long Aotian could react, he felt his hand lighten and his vision blurred.
Whoosh!
The Poison Undying that was standing in front of me vanished without a trace, leaving only a green afterimage that slowly dissipated in the air.
"this..."
Wang Yanfeng and the others, who had just arrived, looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this scene.
Long Aotian gave a wry smile: "Master's temperament... is still the same. Let's go, let's hurry back."
...
Inside the Elders' Hall.
Liu Yuangang stepped out of the magic array, just about to thank Elder Chen.
Suddenly, an extremely terrifying aura swept in from outside the hall, as if a meteorite was crashing down on them.
"Where is he? Where is that Gold-level kid? Let me see him!"
With a deafening roar, a green figure appeared in the center of the hall as if by teleportation.
The newcomer was extremely tall. Although his hair and beard were dark green, his face did not appear old. Instead, it exuded a wild vitality.
Especially those eyes, which were an eerie deep green, gleaming with a captivating light.
It is none other than the Sect Master of the Body Sect, a level 98 Super Douluo, who cannot be killed by poison!
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Upon seeing the newcomer, Elder Chen immediately bowed in greeting.
But Du Busi had no time to pay attention to him. His gaze swept across the entire scene like a radar, finally locking onto Liu Yuan.
In that instant, Liu Yuan felt the hairs on his body stand on end.
Poison Undying's gaze was too blatant, too fanatical!
That look in his eyes didn't seem like he was looking at a disciple at all; it was more like a lecherous wolf who hadn't eaten for three days and three nights suddenly seeing a stunningly beautiful woman standing naked in front of him!
It was filled with greed, desire, and an impulse to swallow it whole!
Liu Yuan couldn't help but shiver and subconsciously took half a step back, feeling a chill run down his spine.
This old man... his eyes are so weird!
"Is this the kid?"
Du Bu Si completely ignored Liu Yuan's reaction, and in a flash, he appeared in front of Liu Yuan. He stretched out his frighteningly large hands, pinched Liu Yuan's arms, patted his thighs, and clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Excellent! Great physique! Vigorous blood and energy, wide meridians! A good prospect!"
"Sect...Sect Master..." Liu Yuan felt a little uncomfortable being touched and gave an awkward smile.
"Sect Master, please don't frighten the child." Elder Chen, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped forward to defuse the situation, saying with a smile.
"This is Liu Yuan, the new disciple Vina brought back. As you know from the test results just now, he truly has the potential of a gold-level expert."
I want to see it with my own eyes!
Poison Immortal waved his hand. Although he was already 80% convinced, he had to ensure that such a major event concerning the future of the sect was foolproof.
"Boy, go and test it for me again! If it really is gold-level, I'll reward you handsomely!"
"yes."
Helpless, Liu Yuan could only step into the magic circle again.
He skillfully unleashed his martial spirit, his double pupils reappeared, and a strange fluctuation once again filled the entire arena.
Grayish-black, cyan, silver-white...
The light shifted and changed, and finally, that dazzling, holy and domineering golden light once again filled the entire hall without any doubt!
It's even brighter than the first time!
"Hahaha! Good! Great!"
Having witnessed the golden light, Du Busi could no longer contain his joy and burst into laughter, the sound of which reverberated throughout the Elders' Hall.
"Truly, the Heavens have blessed our Body Sect! In this era, to possess two geniuses with the potential of Gold-level at the same time!"
Poison Undying's laughter ceased, and he stared intently at Liu Yuan. In that instant, the perverted glint in his eyes vanished, replaced by an unprecedented solemnity and domineering aura.
In front of Elder Chen, Vina, and Long Aotian and the others who had just returned, he announced loudly:
"Relay my orders!"
"From this day forward, Liu Yuan will officially become my second personally trained disciple, Poison Undying!"
"His status and treatment are equivalent to that of the chief disciple, Long Aotian! All the sect's resources will be provided to him unconditionally and with priority, as long as he needs them!"
At this point, Poisonous Immortal paused, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and said, word by word:
"Furthermore, Liu Yuan will be listed as a candidate for the next sect leader! He will compete with Long Aotian. Whoever can complete the second awakening of the gold level first and is stronger will be the next sect leader of my Body Sect!"
