989: Revealing the Goddess

After finishing these, Mu Qianjun then turned his head to look at Du Xingchen.

"You brat, in just a few days, you've caused so much trouble?"

Regarding Du Xingchen, Mu Qianjun's attitude had changed from initial disdain to a slight appreciation now.

His tone also carried a hint of goodwill; after all, he was preparing to let the other party use the Divine Disciple Inheritance, which meant he intended to take Du Xingchen in as one of his own.

"This Junior didn't want so much trouble either, but there was nothing I could do, trouble came knocking," Du Xingchen said helplessly.

"Trouble came knocking? Could it be that someone leaked your identity as a Divine Hall undercover agent?" Mu Qianjun mentioned casually.

In response, Du Xingchen showed a bitter smile but didn't say anything directly.

His current standing in the Divine Hall was decent, but there were still some topics he couldn't mention, as they were destined to yield no results.

"You figure out how to handle the matters here cleanly yourself, and how to explain it to your teammates; you need to handle that well too," Mu Qianjun brought the topic back to the present.

He had already solved the trouble; the cleanup work naturally still depended on Du Xingchen himself.

Especially how to explain tonight's situation to those teammates who had fainted.

Regarding Du Xingchen's current team, he was still quite optimistic about them.

After all, the previous inheritor of the Divination God had prophesied the potential of this team.

Based on this point alone, the value of Du Xingchen's team was almost equivalent to that of the God's Temple Second Team.

Now that he perceived the improvement in these people's strength, their weight in Mu Qianjun's heart even somewhat surpassed the prodigies of the God's Temple Second Team!

"Senior, please rest assured, this Junior will handle these issues myself," Du Xingchen replied without hesitation.

Speaking of which, he still had to thank Eboer for knocking out Wen Xiucheng and the others in advance; it would be much easier to explain after they woke up.

"Mm."

With his hands behind his back, Mu Qianjun walked towards the outside of this area: "Follow me."

Hearing this, Du Xingchen walked over without hesitation.

And after he left, the several fainted teammates on the ground were settled into their respective residences by the people from Jiangshan City.

The remaining Grand Sage Master of Shield City, on the other hand, cast a bloodthirsty gaze upon the subordinates who had arrived with him: "Sorry, you saw what you shouldn't have seen, I can only send you on your way."

After saying this, this Grand Sage Master of Shield City turned around and began a massacre against the two Shield City Saint Masters and more than a dozen Six-Star Soul Card Masters beside him!

...

On the Yunyong Academy Yanwu Arena.

Mu Qianjun looked at the open ground in front of him and slowly stopped.

"Du Xingchen, are you willing to become a subject of my God?!"

A serious and solemn voice came from Mu Qianjun's mouth and echoed in Du Xingchen's ears.

In response, Du Xingchen, who had long expected this, nodded solemnly and replied: "This Junior is willing!"

"Good!"

Hearing such a decisive answer, Mu Qianjun nodded, then carefully and reverently retrieved a bright sphere of light from the void!

"Sit cross-legged, relax your mind, do not resist in the slightest, and properly accept the inheritance bestowed upon you by the God Lord!"

"Yes."

Du Xingchen sat cross-legged on the Yanwu Arena as Mu Qianjun instructed.

Seeing this, Mu Qianjun didn't hesitate and slowly pushed the Divine Disciple Inheritance sphere of light forward from his hand.

After leaving his hands, the sphere of light, like a bubble, directly merged into Du Xingchen's body!

Strands of seemingly useless aura, which were indeed useless under the modification of the prophecy diary, gathered from all directions.

"Don't disappoint this seat."

Mu Qianjun looked at Du Xingchen, who was already immersed in the inheritance, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

What he meant by not disappointing him naturally referred to Du Xingchen's Aptitude not disappointing him.

He was very satisfied with Du Xingchen's mind; if his Aptitude was good, then he was indeed a trainable talent.

But if his Aptitude wasn't good, then it would be a pity.

While waiting, Mu Qianjun didn't let his mind wander.

All his attention was basically focused on Du Xingchen.

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

And under his gaze, a fluctuating aura was gradually 'drawn out' from around Du Xingchen!

"Roar~"

Amidst a rising and falling beast roar, the crimson mutated Mystic Fire Turtle Martial Soul appeared before Mu Qianjun.

Mu Qianjun knew that the Divine Disciple contract had been bound, and now it was the stage to test cultivation Aptitude.

"The mutated Mystic Fire Turtle Martial Soul is considered a first-class Martial Soul, but it can't compare to a top-grade Martial Soul."

While evaluating to himself, Mu Qianjun then saw one card after another appear before Du Xingchen, who was sitting cross-legged.

Amidst the distinct aura fluctuations, the years on these cards also appeared one by one!

The first card was 999 years, the second 999 years, the third 5500, and the fourth 9000 years!

When he sensed the years of these cards, clearly presented with the help of the God inheritance, Mu Qianjun's originally calm expression was gradually replaced by a hint of astonishment.

The first card was almost at the thousand-year level, and the fourth card was infinitely close to the ten-thousand-year level!

Such luxurious equipment was simply rare in the world; this kid had embodied the act of pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger to the extreme!

Judging from the card equipment, among the younger generation currently known to Mu Qianjun, only seven or eight people could suppress him!

This was still the most turbulent era of divine fortune, where prodigies emerged one after another and monstrous talents ran rampant.

If it were twenty years ago, Du Xingchen's card setup like this would be enough to be called the number one person among Four-Star Soul Card Masters!

Just this point alone was enough to show that Du Xingchen's talent was definitely not low!

"Could it be Red Talent?!"

Mu Qianjun's expression showed a slight movement.

Red Talent represented a minimum achievement of being a Supreme with three Miracles.

A Supreme with three Miracles might not be much in his eyes, but one must know that a Supreme with three Miracles was merely the lowest endpoint for those with this talent!

In the future, such existences have at least a 20% chance of ascending to the God Realm and becoming servants who serve the God Lord!

One must know that he, who had now become a Divine Disciple Elder, only possessed Orange Talent.

As the Martial Soul and cards were displayed, just when Mu Qianjun thought it was over and was about to witness the manifestation of talent, a much larger shadow enveloped from behind Du Xingchen!

Mu Qianjun's gaze suddenly focused, staring intently.

A moment later, his body trembled: "This is, the Second Martial Soul?!"

As if 'just realizing' that the Second Martial Soul had been exposed, Du Xingchen immediately retracted the Martial Soul that had been 'drawn out by the inheritance sphere of light'.

This shadow appeared quickly and disappeared just as quickly.

Seeing this, Mu Qianjun's heart surged, and he couldn't help but shake his head and smile: "This kid, he even knows how to hide his abilities."

"But with the addition of the Second Martial Soul, his talent is probably completely stable at Red Talent, and even..."

"Buzz~"

As he spoke, a dazzling golden light suddenly exploded before Mu Qianjun's eyes!

Like a divine radiance, the bright golden light illuminated the entire Yanwu Arena, and the light even had a tendency to spread towards more distant areas!

Mu Qianjun hurriedly waved his hand to erect a curtain to conceal the aura.

Afterwards, his expression was completely unable to remain calm as he looked at Du Xingchen.

"Golden, Golden Talent! It's really Golden Talent!"

At this moment, Mu Qianjun's mood was like gambling on stones and getting Imperial Green jade!

This seemingly ordinary undercover agent actually possessed the talent of a true Core Disciple of the Divine Hall!

After a long while, Du Xingchen slowly opened his eyes.

The golden light on his body also gradually extinguished at this moment.

Although he had been keeping his eyes closed just now, he basically knew the general situation outside, otherwise he wouldn't have displayed his trump cards one by one so coincidentally.

As for now, these temporary actions of his should have more reasonably confirmed his Golden Talent!

"Du Xingchen!"

After opening his eyes, Mu Qianjun's voice, filled with intense emotional fluctuations, appeared in his ears.

"Senior."

Du Xingchen got up and bowed to Mu Qianjun.

"Good, good kid! I really didn't misjudge you!"

Mu Qianjun heavily patted Du Xingchen's shoulder; at this moment, his attitude was completely different from before!

"Kid, are you willing to join the seed team that the Divine Hall is currently putting all its efforts into cultivating?"

"With your talent, I don't think the other high-ranking officials of the Divine Hall will have much objection."

After learning that Du Xingchen possessed Golden Talent, Mu Qianjun's first thought was to take him to the God's Temple First Team participating in the Soul Card Master College Entrance Examination this time.

After all, Du Xingchen had already accepted the God inheritance under his gaze, so there was no such thing as being an outsider.

This was one of their own!

Furthermore, since Du Xingchen was someone he cultivated, putting him into the God's Temple First Team would benefit him greatly in the future.

"Join the Divine Hall seed team?"

Facing this suggestion, Du Xingchen shook his head: "Wouldn't that mean directly abandoning my identity as an undercover agent?"

"Undercover? With talent like yours, being an undercover agent is such a waste! Just come with me directly to the Divine Hall and receive the highest level of cultivation from the Divine Hall!"

Mu Qianjun's attitude could be said to have changed drastically.

Du Xingchen had anticipated this point.

He knew how Heaven-Defying Golden Talent was and understood the value of this talent; it was not surprising that Mu Qianjun would treat him this way.

But joining the God's Temple First Team, he had no intention of doing so.

Knowing the original work, he knew that the God's Temple First Team was just a team in the loser's bracket.

In the end, they were just there to be stepping stones for the protagonist's group.

The truly best team was still the one he was currently in.

Of course, after Moyun was removed, the weight of this team would definitely decrease a lot, but it was still Du Xingchen's first choice.

"Let's forget about joining the God's Temple First Team; it's not like everyone in the Divine Hall welcomes me."

While refusing, Du Xingchen took the opportunity to say something pointedly.

"Doesn't welcome you? Who have you offended? The people in the Divine Hall don't even know you, how could anyone not welcome you?"

Mu Qianjun didn't notice anything.

He was still immersed in the matter of Du Xingchen having two Martial Souls and finally emitting golden light.

Du Xingchen said seemingly unintentionally but actually intentionally: "But Goddess, doesn't she quite hate me?"

"Goddess?"

Mu Qianjun heard Du Xingchen mention her, and his agitated emotions gradually calmed down quite a bit: "Did you make an enemy of Goddess? Or did you offend her in some way?"

"Senior, you don't know?"

Seeing Mu Qianjun's reaction, Du Xingchen then deliberately asked in confusion.

Afterwards, he immediately added: "A few days ago, Goddess exposed all the information about this Junior being a Divine Hall undercover agent to the academy, and it was precisely because of Goddess's actions that this Junior faced such a dangerous situation today."

"Of course, this Junior is not saying that Goddess was wrong; everything Goddess did must have had a reason."

"Perhaps this Junior offended her in some way."

At this moment, Du Xingchen finally spoke out about what Goddess had done before.

Speaking of these now was the most suitable time!

Because now, with his talent, his weight in Mu Qianjun's eyes and in the Divine Hall's heart was absolutely not low!

And having 'accepted the Divine Disciple Inheritance', the Divine Hall would be even less wary of him; he was now a believer of the God Lord and one of the most loyal members of the Divine Hall.

He had top-tier talent and was loyal.

Only at this level was he qualified to contend with Goddess!

Otherwise, if it were before.

If he said these words, at most it would make Mu Qianjun frown and feel displeased with Goddess.

In the end, it would still be left unsettled.

After all, he was just an undercover agent placed outside by the Divine Hall; although he had some use, he was still completely incomparable to Goddess.

Mu Qianjun was even less likely to question Goddess or cause trouble for Goddess because of him.

Even if Goddess was the one who did something wrong, he, this little nobody, could still only tolerate it!

But now... it was different.

"Goddess? She leaked your information as an undercover agent?!"

Mu Qianjun's voice deepened, and his attitude clearly became irritable as expected.

Du Xingchen, a peerless Prodigy belonging to the Divine Hall, seen once in a hundred years, was actually almost killed by Goddess!

Just thinking about this point made Mu Qianjun unable to stay calm.
