Chapter 53 Earth-Rank Divine Power

Hearing Murong Wan's words, and then thinking about her relationship with Ye Fan, Su Ningxue's face instantly flushed with an enchanting blush.

If Murong Wan hadn't lowered her head to salute, she probably would have noticed the problem long ago.

"Alright, since he is your Dao Companion, it is only proper for him to join my Sect as well," Su Ningxue said, forcing herself to remain calm.

Murong Wan let out a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and quickly tugged at Ye Fan's sleeve, signaling him to quickly express his gratitude.

"You are usually quite clever, why are you so slow today?" Murong Wan cursed him inwardly.

Ye Fan knew this was not the time to reveal the truth, so he could only smile helplessly and continue the act, enjoying this unusual Shura field.

"Disciple Ye Fan thanks Revered Master."

Looking at Ye Fan's serious demeanor, Su Ningxue also felt a moment of daze, taking a few seconds to let him stand up.

"From today onward, you are a Personal Disciple of my Profound Spirit Peak. You must diligently Cultivate..."

Su Ningxue suddenly felt a bit uncomfortable as she spoke, subconsciously looking toward Murong Wan, not knowing why she felt a twinge of jealousy. She struggled hard to suppress this strange feeling.

"...diligently Cultivate, and do not disgrace the name of my Profound Spirit Peak."

"Yes, Disciple will keep Revered Master's teachings in mind."

Su Ningxue waved her hand, and a golden, shining token flew into Ye Fan's hand.

"With the Personal Disciple token, you have unimpeded access to the Scripture Pavilion. You may freely borrow Cultivation Techniques and Divine Abilities below the Profound Rank. Furthermore..."

Su Ningxue paused slightly, bit her red lips, and revealed a hint of shyness, completely different from the serious Revered Master persona she held moments ago.

"Your Aptitude is rather poor, and your cultivation is low, so I will give you this thunder seal for self-defense," Su Ningxue said, forcing herself to remain calm.

"Dao Companion Su Ningxue gifts the Host a top-grade Magical Artifact, the Thunder Seal. After tenfold value amplification, the Host obtains the top-grade magic treasure, startling thunder seal."

"startling thunder seal? A top-grade magic treasure?!"

Looking at the System prompt before him, Ye Fan was so excited he almost jumped up, his face filled with excitement.

This was a top-grade magic treasure equal in fame to the golden armor immortal robe, and it was a thunder-element weapon famed for having the strongest offense. It would be hard to find even one in the entire Joyous Union Sect.

Even though Ye Fan was only at the second level of the Foundation Establishment Realm, he was confident that as long as he summoned the startling thunder seal, crushing Cultivators of the same rank would be as easy as turning his hand.

With the startling thunder seal for offense and the golden armor immortal robe for defense, with the aid of these two top-grade magic treasures, he could even hold his ground against some Core Formation Realm Cultivators for a while.

Seeing Ye Fan's excitement, Su Ningxue clearly misunderstood something and quickly explained with a blush.

"All Personal Disciples receive a Magical Artifact upon taking a Revered Master; Wan'er was the same."

Ye Fan nodded, but after a brief thought, a good idea popped into his mind.

"This Disciple dares to ask Revered Master for another Divine Ability."

Murong Wan was slightly taken aback, then tugged at Ye Fan's sleeve, feeling that he was being too presumptuous.

He had just become a Disciple and received a top-grade Magical Artifact, yet now he was asking the Revered Master to impart a Divine Ability. His audacity was a bit too thick.

But just as Murong Wan was about to stop him, Su Ningxue spoke without thinking.

"What Divine Ability do you wish to learn?"

"Revered Master can decide which to impart. The Exquisite Sublimation Art is best, but I can accept others too."

"Exquisite Sublimation Art?"

Su Ningxue was slightly stunned, a look of shame flashing through her beautiful eyes. If she hadn't suffered a setback in her cultivation by using the Exquisite Sublimation Art back then, how could Ye Fan have seized the opportunity? Bringing it up now inevitably reminded her of the past.

"Your cultivation is too weak; learning the Exquisite Sublimation Art would be useless. It is better to teach you another Divine Ability Cultivation Technique."

"Sword techniques, fist techniques, spear techniques, or perhaps curse techniques—what do you wish to learn?"

"It is entirely up to Revered Master's decision."

Seeing Ye Fan's obedient appearance, Su Ningxue could only sigh about the misfortune fate had dealt. After thinking it over, she sent out a Jade Slip.

"The Eight Desolations Fist was something I obtained by chance; it is not a secret technique passed down in the Sect. Take this and study it well. If you do not understand anything, come ask me."

"Dao Companion Su Ningxue gifts the Host the Profound Rank Low Grade Divine Ability, Eight Desolations Fist. After tenfold value amplification, the Host obtains the Earth Rank Low Grade Divine Ability, Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Fist."

The moment the Jade Slip was in hand, the System prompt sounded again in Ye Fan's ear, making it hard for him to suppress the smile on his lips.

Although a Profound Rank top-grade technique was reputed to be comparable to an Earth Rank Low Grade one, the gap between them was still vast.

Taking the Mysterious Jade Finger as an example, at most, the power of its strongest strike, Severing Rivers and Dividing Seas, could barely compare.

But the Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Fist was a genuine Earth-rank Divine Ability; any casual strike possessed power equivalent to the Mysterious Jade Finger at full strength.

If the Earth-rank Divine Ability was fully activated, it would leave the Mysterious Jade Finger in the dust.

According to the information fed back by the System, the power of the Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Fist far exceeded imagination.

The Profound Rank Low Grade Divine Ability, Eight Desolations Fist, could secretly send eight strands of hidden force into the opponent's body. Once detonated, the power could increase by at least eightfold, enough to achieve the effect of killing someone in a higher realm.

After being upgraded to Earth Rank Low Grade, the power could be multiplied by another six times, reaching a total of sixty-eight times the original power. Even a Core Formation Realm Cultivator would surely die.

The only weakness of this Divine Ability was that it was slow to build up. If one was defeated before all eight strands of hidden force were delivered, even if one could multiply the power by six hundred and eighty times, it would be useless.

Fortunately, Ye Fan had the golden armor immortal robe protecting him, giving him an Innate advantage of being undefeatable. It was not difficult for him to stall until all the hidden forces took effect.

"A woman three hundred years older means an Immortal Pill, a woman three thousand years older means she ascends to Immortality. This saying is truly not false," Ye Fan couldn't help but exclaim.

A top-grade magic treasure and an Earth-rank Divine Ability obtained so easily. Ye Fan thoroughly enjoyed this bout of 'eating soft rice' and wished he could immediately reward Su Ningxue with something.

Seeing Ye Fan's gaze actually burning with desire, Su Ningxue froze momentarily before becoming incredibly ashamed and annoyed, yet she was unable to vent her frustration.

As for Murong Wan, she was completely stunned, suddenly feeling that her mind was insufficient to process everything.

It was true that Su Ningxue was kind-hearted, but today she seemed excessively kind! Giving away a Divine Ability Cultivation Technique just like that?!

After much thought, Murong Wan could only assume that her Revered Master was doing this for her sake, worried that Ye Fan would drag her down, which was why she was being so generous.

"Oh, Revered Master, there is one more thing this Disciple wishes to ask about."

"Oh, what is it?"

Su Ningxue had assumed Murong Wan had encountered some Bottleneck in her Cultivation. Who knew that she would take out the Profound Frost Sword?

Ye Fan's heart skipped a beat upon seeing this, secretly praying that no accidents would occur.

"When Revered Master bestowed me a Magical Artifact, you said this pair of swords were Medium Grade Magical Artifacts. However, during a fight with Ye Fan some time ago, their power far exceeded the strength of a Magical Artifact, even surpassing that of a low-grade magic treasure."

"Oh? There is such a thing?"

Su Ningxue was also stunned, seemingly unable to believe it.

But she knew Murong Wan's serious and reserved nature; since she had spoken up, it must be true.

"Bring the swords here so I can take a look."

Ye Fan had no choice but to bite the bullet and hand over the red lotus sword as well.

Su Ningxue took the twin swords and examined them carefully, and even she couldn't help but knit her brows.

"This is... a Medium Grade Magic Treasure?!"
