380: Chapter 380 Fairy Nine Lotus's Jokes, the Heated Enrollment Ceremony

"Lin Ran, guess how Her Majesty the Empress will punish you for killing Xiang Mo and breaking the iron rule during the Recruitment Ceremony?"

Yu Xi looked over with a mischievous expression and said,

"What does it have to do with you?"

Lin Ran glanced at her indifferently.

"You! Hmph! My Young Miss was even thinking of using her connections to put in a good word for you before Her Majesty the Empress, and this is your attitude?"

Yu Xi's teeth chattered with anger, her chest heaving.

"Like you said, that was your Young Miss thinking of speaking for me. What does it have to do with you?"

Lin Ran said with a half-smile.

"This... hmph!"

Yu Xi, seeing she didn't know how to respond, could only stand aside huffing in anger.

A faint smile played on Fairy Jiulian's lips as her hands gestured continuously.

"Where's the translation?"

Lin Ran glanced at Yu Xi.

"You!!"

Yu Xi glared at Lin Ran fiercely in anger.

So in Lin Ran's eyes, she was just a translator?!

However, anger was anger, but the translation still had to be done.

Yu Xi tried to calm her emotions and said, "My Young Miss was just teasing you. She said that if you can continue to display even more remarkable talent, perhaps Her Majesty the Empress will appreciate you and even grant you an official position."

"Maybe over time, Her Majesty the Empress might even take a liking to you and make you a top-grade Imperial Consort."

As she spoke, Yu Xi couldn't help but giggle.

Fairy Jiulian nodded slightly, a mysterious light flickering in her eyes.

A look of contemplation appeared on Lin Ran's face, as if he were truly considering the probability of such a thing happening.

"Whoa~ no way?!"

"Looking at you, are you really thinking about whether Her Majesty the Empress could take a liking to you?"

"Stop making your Big Sister Yu laugh. Why don't you look in a mirror? Do you really think you..."

Yu Xi paused, looking Lin Ran up and down carefully, and suddenly found herself speechless.

She seemed...

Unable to find any suitable reason to "belittle" Lin Ran.

Lin Ran not only possessed the Innate Pure Yang Immortal Body but also the Yin-Yang Immortal Body; he was a peerless Prodigy rarely seen in millions of years.

Moreover, even Xiang Mo, who was also at the Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven and had awakened a Top-tier Divine Physique, was not a match for a single move from Lin Ran.

It could be said that Lin Ran's strength and talent were already obvious to all; there was no doubt about it.

And Lin Ran's appearance was even more unparalleled in the world!

With such a celestial face, even in the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm, Yu Xi had never seen anyone who could compare to Lin Ran—it was simply non-existent!

With someone so handsome, powerful, and talented, how could Yu Xi find any words to "belittle" him?!

Fairy Jiulian watched Yu Xi's predicament, smiling as she made hand gestures.

"What did the Fairy say?"

Lin Ran asked.

Yu Xi's face flushed, looking quite embarrassed as she stammered:

"My Young Miss is laughing at me... laughing because I can't find any words to belittle you..."

Lin Ran smiled and said, "The Fairy is right, why say such blunt truths?"

Fairy Jiulian's smile froze, and she gave Lin Ran a beautiful eye-roll.

"My Young Miss says you are really thick-skinned!"

Yu Xi said quickly.

"The translation was so fast this time?"

Lin Ran said, somewhat amused.

"Hmph!"

Yu Xi gave a proud huff.

The second round soon ended. After this round, the number of young prodigies on the field was suddenly halved again.

However, the atmosphere in the Dao Arena became even more heated.

Simply because...

In this Recruitment Ceremony, it wasn't just Lin Ran who was showing his brilliance; the other young prodigies were equally impressive!

One person in particular was highly regarded by the Elders, who believed he could contend with Lin Ran.

This person was a young man dressed in a light gray Daoist robe, handsome and elegant with a calm temperament, giving off a sense of gentleness that did not lack sharpness.

He was at the Divine Fire Realm Ninth Heaven. After two rounds of fighting, he had suppressed his opponents with just a wave of his hand, not even needing a second move.

And his Special Physique remained a mystery; no one knew exactly what it was.

Fairy Jiulian tugged at Lin Ran's sleeve, making hand gestures with a serious expression.

"My Young Miss says that if she's not mistaken, this person should be from Thunder Ancestor Dao Mountain."

"Thunder Ancestor Dao Mountain enshrines an Immortal, the high and mighty Thunder Ancestor."

"As for who this person is, my Young Miss isn't sure either."

Yu Xi said.

"Are there really Immortals in the Ten Dynasties Divine Realm?!"

Lin Ran's heart was filled with turbulent waves as he asked.

Fairy Jiulian shook her head.

Yu Xi said, "No, it's just that Thunder Ancestor Dao Mountain enshrines Thunder Ancestor, so they can obtain some of Thunder Ancestor's Opportunity and Legacy."

"For current living beings, wanting to achieve Immortal Ascension is as difficult as reaching the heavens; it's wishful thinking!"

Lin Ran's gaze narrowed, and he quickly asked, "What do you mean by that?!"

Just as Fairy Jiulian was about to explain, the Green-robed Elder suddenly spoke:

"Alright everyone, the second round has ended. Let us begin the third round!"

Fairy Jiulian clearly lost interest in continuing, so she shook her head and made a few casual gestures.

"My Young Miss says you will naturally know these things in the future; it's not some unspeakable secret anyway."

Yu Xi said.

Lin Ran nodded and then went to draw lots.

This time, he drew the number "123", while the one who drew "124" was a youth at the Divine Fire Realm Seventh Heaven.

When that youth saw his opponent was Lin Ran, his face turned green instantly. He surrendered immediately without even starting the fight.

There was no other way; the strength of the Innate Pure Yang Immortal Body and the Yin-Yang Immortal Body was evident. Coupled with Lin Ran killing Xiang Mo in one move, it was estimated that ninety-nine percent of the young prodigies present would not be his match.

Time quietly passed through these rounds of fighting.

Before long, only a mere two hundred people remained in the entire Dao Arena.

In other words, this would be the final round of fighting. Whoever won would be able to join the Zifu Holy Land and become a Disciple of the Zifu Holy Land!

For the losers, all their efforts would be in vain, and they could only leave the field dejectedly!

Lin Ran was still the first to draw lots. This time, he drew the number "12".

And the one who drew number "11" was a young man carrying a saber.

The young man's expression was cold, and his body radiated a terrifying Saber Protective Aura. His long saber was cold and sharp, its glint flashing with a dazzling cold light that made people shudder.

"Lin Ran, you must be careful. This person is named Chen Feng, and he is quite extraordinary!"

"Rumor has it that he once went on a killing spree in a Secret Realm. With the long saber in his hand, he turned the world of the young prodigies in the Secret Realm upside down and successfully seized the Opportunity and Legacy within."

"It is said that he also studied under the One-Armed Saber God. His saber techniques are exquisite and terrifying. You must remember not to underestimate him!"
