213: Others can't, but it doesn't mean that I, Lin Fan, can't! [Seeking follow-up reading]

Even the Vice Hall Masters of the Earth Hall and Flood Hall looked at Lin Fan with shining eyes, mixed with a hint of regret.

This was because the Heavenly Hall was the strongest and had the right to select Disciples first.

Wu Dao, seeing the fervent gazes of Wei Sen and the other two fixed on Lin Fan, showed a look of displeasure on his face.

But there was nothing he could do; who made the Desolate Hall the weakest now?

The thought of Lin Fan, such a rare and promising talent, being snatched away, filled Wu Dao's heart with irritation.

"Hehe, this Lin Fan is good. He'll come to my Heavenly Hall," Wei Sen said with a smile, waving his hand, just as Wu Dao had expected, after staring at Lin Fan for a moment.

The Vice Hall Masters of the Earth Hall and Flood Hall beside him pouted, clearly regretting that such a promising talent would once again fall into the Heavenly Hall's hands.

Wu Dao's expression was grim, and he could only wave his sleeve in exasperation, reluctantly telling Lin Fan, "Among the four halls, the Heavenly Hall is the strongest. If you wish, you may go to the Heavenly Hall."

Lin Fan's eyes flickered, and he cupped his fist towards Wei Sen, saying, "Thank you for the Vice Hall Master's kindness, but I wish to join the Desolate Hall."

Upon hearing Lin Fan's voice, everyone on the bluestone platform was stunned.

"Lin Fan... you?" Even Wu Dao was astonished by Lin Fan's words.

On the entire bluestone platform, only Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, and Xiao Yan remained calm.

The look of surprise on Heavenly Hall Vice Hall Master Wei Sen's face gradually faded, and then he frowned, saying, "Lin Fan, your talent is not weak, but don't ruin your future."

"While I don't mean to look down on the Desolate Hall, I can tell you that only in the Heavenly Hall will you achieve the greatest improvement."

Lin Fan's expression was firm, and he calmly said, "Although the Heavenly Hall is the strongest, I feel the Desolate Hall is more suitable for me!"

Wu Dao looked at Lin Fan's declaration, somewhat taken aback. When had their Desolate Hall become so appealing?

Wei Sen frowned and stared at Lin Fan for a while. After a long moment, he shook his head and said, "Since this is your own choice, I, this Hall Master, will not say much more. I just hope you act wisely."

"You, sir, are too selfish..."

Just then, a clear and melodious voice suddenly rang out.

Lin Fan looked up and saw Ying Huanhuan frowning slightly, staring at him.

"How am I selfish?" Lin Fan raised an eyebrow, retorting, "Is choosing a suitable place to Cultivate considered selfish?"

"Your talent is good. If you join the Heavenly Hall, you can naturally maximize your potential. Your strength growing stronger is also a good thing for the sect," Ying Huanhuan said with a clear voice, staring at Lin Fan.

"But now, you've given up on this path. To some extent, you've weakened the sect's strength by a tiny bit. What is this if not selfishness?"

Lin Fan smiled indifferently and said, "How do you know that my joining the Desolate Hall will weaken the sect's strength by a tiny bit? Perhaps, it will make the sect's strength even greater!"

"After all, among the Dao Sect's Four Great Scriptures, the Desolate Hall's Great Desolation Scripture is stronger than the Heavenly Hall's Emperor Scripture."

As soon as Lin Fan said this, everyone present was surprised again, then enlightened.

So, Lin Fan was aiming for the Great Desolation Scripture.

However, this kid was too arrogant, wasn't he?

The Great Desolation Scripture was the most mysterious and unfathomable Martial Art among the Four Great Scriptures. Since the Desolate Hall's establishment, the number of geniuses who could comprehend it did not exceed ten. How dare Lin Fan say such a thing?

Ying Huanhuan was clearly also startled by Lin Fan's words. Immediately, a subtle curve appeared at the corner of her lips. Then, she extended her jade hand, her slender jade fingers pointing at Lin Fan, and her red lips slightly parted: "Boastful and conceited!"

"I know the Great Desolation Scripture is very difficult to comprehend, but just because others can't comprehend it doesn't mean I, Lin Fan, can't! As for success or failure, why don't we wait and see in the future, how about that?"

Lin Fan's gaze lingered on her jade-like hand for a moment, then he smiled faintly and said.

Ying Huanhuan snorted, saying, "You really are arrogant and conceited. Don't say I look down on you. Since you want me to wait and see, then fine, I, Ying Huanhuan, will wait and see."

"If you can comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture, I'll do anything you ask; but if you can't, I'm afraid many Heavenly Hall Disciples will come to challenge you, Junior Brother, in the future."

"It's fine. Even if I comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture, they can still come to challenge me," Lin Fan said with a smile.

"Hmph," with the conversation reaching this point, Ying Huanhuan could only let out a soft snort, a hint of annoyance in her large eyes.

She, who was usually eloquent, was actually stumped by Lin Fan today. This made her feel quite displeased.

"Since you, young man, are ambitious and have set your sights on the Great Desolation Scripture, I, this Hall Master, will say no more. If you can truly comprehend it, I believe the entire Dao Sect will be happy to see it. However, sometimes, you must know your limits."

Wei Sen glanced at Lin Fan, said indifferently, and then turned to the other Disciples selected from the Hundred Dynasty War, "Are there any others who wish to voluntarily join the Desolate Hall?"

Lin Dong, Xiao Diao, and Xiao Yan, upon hearing this, stood directly beside Lin Fan without a word of nonsense.

And Liu Bai, Mo Ling, and their group, after a slight hesitation, also followed.

Wei Sen said nothing upon seeing this. He waved his sleeve and selected a group of Disciples with high talent.

Then, the Vice Hall Masters of the Earth Hall and Flood Hall also made their move, dividing the remaining talented individuals.

What was left at the end were some relatively less talented individuals.

After the Disciples were selected, Wei Sen and the others exchanged a few polite words and then left with the chosen Disciples.

"You, young man named Lin Fan, remember what you said. I'm waiting for you to open my eyes. However, before that, you should first obtain the qualification to comprehend the Great Desolation Scripture."

Ying Huanhuan waved her hand at Lin Fan with a schadenfreude smile, then her delicate body moved, and she also followed.

After the people from the other three halls left, Wu Dao gleefully told Lin Fan that Ying Huanhuan had an older sister who was the Heavenly Hall's Senior Sister.

Lin Fan, however, was completely indifferent to this, not even batting an eye.

Seeing this, Wu Dao was somewhat impressed.

"Within the Desolate Hall, there are three thousand Disciples, and three hundred Personal Disciples, each of whom is an excellent individual selected through rigorous screening..."

After Wu Dao led Lin Fan and the others into the Desolate Hall, he began introducing them to the situation of the Desolate Hall.

"Vice Hall Master, after saying so much, shouldn't you talk about the benefits for the champion of the Hundred Dynasty War?"

After Wu Dao finished his introduction, Lin Fan rubbed his hands and said to Wu Dao.

Wu Dao's expression slightly stiffened upon hearing Lin Fan's words, and he said testily, "Don't worry, this old man won't forget. However, if Lin Dong wants to enjoy this benefit, I'm afraid he'll have to wait until next year."

"Hmm? Why is that?" Lin Fan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Wu Dao calmly said, "The reward for the champion of the Hundred Dynasty War, which you refer to as a benefit, is the Dan River Empowerment."

"Each of the Dao Sect's four halls has a Dan River. Every year, the Dan River produces some extremely pure Nirvana Qi, which we call Nirvana Golden Qi."

"The so-called Dan River Empowerment is when the Hall Master and I personally take action to drive the Nirvana Golden Qi to refine the Disciple's body and internal Origin Qi. The amount of Nirvana Golden Qi produced each year is limited."

After listening to Wu Dao's words, Lin Fan finally remembered that it seemed to be true.

However, if Lin Dong were to delay the Dan River Empowerment for another year, it might be a bit late.

After a long moment, Lin Fan's eyes flickered, and he said, "Then I'll go to another hall for the Dan River Empowerment."

Wu Dao rolled his eyes and said testily, "You are now a Desolate Hall Disciple. How could the other three great halls agree to let you undergo Dan River Empowerment?"
