‘Talent Registration Hall’
Lin Fan stood underneath the hall’s nameplate, lost in thought. ’This name…’
Dominating…
Perfectly exhibiting the high-end caliber of a genius; it seemed no matter where one was, talent would always be a high-demand commodity. “Junior-brother, let’s go in.” Ni Mingyang’s attitude towards Lin Fan was very friendly, not containing any trace of urgency. The key point was that having a bad attitude just wouldn’t do. After all, Ni Mingyang’s eggs felt quite painful even now.
‘This junior brother's attack is a bit sinister… It seems there is a need to report this incident to senior-brother Meng.’
“Yes....yes.” Lin Fan returned to himself and nodded while following Ni Mingyang inside.
Along the way here, Lin Fan realized that the Saint Devil Sect was indeed a big sect; the size was rather too huge, to the point that one could get lost in it.
“Outer sect disciple, Ni Mingyang, recommending a talent… seeking an audience with Elder Li.” Ni Mingyang said while standing respectfully outside the entrance.
“Understood…” At this time, a faint voice sounded from within the dark hall. This voice sounded a bit scary and cold, making one feel a chill deep down in the bones. Even the fearless Lin Fan involuntarily shuddered.
“Senior-brother Ni, how is the voice of elder Li this petrifying?” Lin secretly asked.
“Shhh, be cautious, junior-brother… Remember, in a moment, when you see elder Li, absolutely don’t panic, understand?” Ni Mingyang suddenly remembered something and was a bit regretful for not telling Lin Fan earlier. But now that they were already standing outside the hall, he couldn’t really explain in detail either.
“Panic? What’s there about panicking?” Lin Fan was surprised for a moment and didn’t quite understand, ‘Was it possible this elder Li was a man-eating tiger? ‘ But even so, Lin Fan was not scared. If it came down to it, one 《Monkey Steals Peach》 should do.
“Shh, quiet, Elder Li has arrived.” Ni Mingyang’s expression slightly changed while he respectfully stood there. Lin Fan secretly glanced towards the person walking out from the darkness. Dressed in black robes, the figure was a bit burly.
“Huh…?”
At this moment, as a ray of sunlight shone on the face of Elder Li, Lin Fan’s expression suddenly changed. His eyes were shimmering with disbelief while at the same time reflecting a bit of fear.
‘This…this...How could a human look like this?’
Half a human face, half a skeleton, such that one could even see the pulsing brain inside. Incredibly terrifying, it really was incredibly terrifying.
Remembering Ni Mingyang’s words, Lin Fan lowered his head, no longer observing Elder Li.
Even if Lin Fan was open-minded, he had never faced this kind of situation before. If it weren't for Ni Mingyang’s previous warning, Lin Fan would’ve likely shouted out, “A ghost!”
“Elder Li, this is Lin Fan. His 《Titanium Grade Demon Body》 has been cultivated to a very high level, and can even defend against my eighth level precelestial full-powered strike.” Ni Mingyang introduced in detail.
The “Talent Registration Hall” was the Saint Devil Sect’s foundation point. Countless talented disciples had been required to register with it, and from then tremendous investments allowed it to further develop.
Earlier when the “Talent Registration Hall” was first created, the sect was highly attentive to the genius disciples, but as time went on, the number of geniuses continued to grow more and more. So the sect obviously couldn’t provide an indefinite amount of resources, and thus even though the current “Talent Registration Hall” still received quite a lot of resources, it wasn’t as crazy as it used to be.
“Oh, is that so? Then I would like to see.” With this, Elder Li showed a hint of interest. Lin Fan stood there, and his weak body gave a sudden shudder.
‘My God! Don’t get so close to me.'
.
Lin Fan slightly raised his head, and his vision met with the flaring green of elder Li’s eyes and the half skeleton face. “Are you scared of my face?” Elder Li smiled while observing the rather new midget sect member. Even though Lin Fan’s expression was a bit disrespectful, Elder Li was not angry.
“No...”
‘Don’t joke around, I’ll really be a complete idiot if I were to speak the truth now. But this elder Li’s face really is rather bone-chilling.’
“You cannot blame the ignorant… In your path, you will meet people even scarier than me.” Elder Li ridiculed and then rested one hand on Lin Fan’s shoulder. Lin Fan immediately felt a stream of energy flow throughout his body, as if it were searching for something. Lin Fan was close to tears at this point.
‘Being infiltrated by people twice in one day, you all will never obtain my virginity.’
Then, something that made Lin Fan even more panicked happened. The previous calm flaring green of elder Li’s eyes suddenly began jumping and shining with much greater intensity than before, while staring at Lin Fan to the point of giving him goosebumps.
‘My god, what are these people? Their stares make me feel so awkward. Penetrating, this glare has too much penetration power.’
“Genius…”Elder Li excitedly grabbed Lin Fan, "Peerless genius…To cultivate 《Titanium Grade Demon Body》 to such a level, a peerless genius that only appears once every thousands of years…” Ni Mingyang, who had been standing there respectfully the whole time, had previously just been thinking about how elder Li was really talkative today. But upon hearing Elder Li’s first words, the corner of his mouth revealed a slight smile.
‘Junior-brother is naturally a genius. Otherwise he wouldn’t have been recommended here.’ But when he heard the words that followed, Ni Mingyang was stunned.
Peerless genius? Furthermore, a peerless genius that only appears once every thousands of years…
Upon hearing those words of elder Li, the already wide eyes of the fidgety Lin Fan became even wider.
‘Haha...Genius…Peerless genius…A peerless genius that only appears once every thousands of years.’
‘Elder Li, a peerless genius like myself that only appears once every thousands of years most definitely will receive the full protection of everyone in the entire sect right? Am I going to become the personal disciple of the sect head and receive personal guidance?” Lin Fan was ecstatic at this point towards the Saint Devil Sect that treasured geniuses so dearly.’
‘A peerless genius that only appears every thousands of years like myself, won’t I be treasured to the utmost? The various kinds of tremendous sect resources, on top of his own system, wouldn’t that mean his days of becoming an invincible God are drawing near?
Haha…’
As he continually thought about it, Lin Fan became thrilled, ‘Who would’ve thought that in this world, Yours Truly would be able to dine in such riches… The heavens are quite kind towards me.’
At this point, the previously excited elder Li suddenly calmed down.
“Alright, not bad… Come collect your outer sect necessities. Ni Mingyang, this is your reward for recommending a talent. Afterward, bring this newly initiated junior brother to the assigned residence and explain the Saint Devil Sect’s commandments to him.” Elder Li regained his calm and said.
“Yes, Elder Li.” Ni Mingyang respectfully received the reward and nodded. “Huh…?”At this moment, a basin of ice cold water poured over Lin Fan from head to toe, fully awakening him.
“Elder Li, but I am a peerless genius that only appears once every thousands of years, is this the only treatment I get?” Lin Fan was frustrated, ‘Was the previously excited expression just a lie? I was already prepared to meet the sect head, how did it become like this?’
“All things start from scratch… one step at a time. One must not be too hasty.” With these words, elder Li’s figure gradually disappeared into the darkness of the hall.
‘F*ck…’
Lin Fan was completely frustrated at this point, ‘This shouldn’t be how things go.’ The peerless geniuses in novels, if they weren’t hacked to death by people, then they would be cradled like a treasure by them. ‘A peerless genius that only appears every thousands of years and this is the treatment I get...The heavens and great earth…give me an explanation!’
“Senior-brother Ni, did we come to the wrong place?” Lin Fan looked towards the incredibly simple building in front of him, then thought about senior-brother Meng’s residence. The difference was on an entirely different level.
“No, it’s not wrong, the residences of the outer sect disciples are all located here.” Ni Mingyang said while smiling, “Junior-brother, work and train hard, do not fall behind. But then again, you’re a genius, so you definitely will succeed.”
“Thank you Senior-brother Ni.” Lin Fan nodded, “Senior-brother Ni, how come this residence is so different from senior-brother Meng’s?”
“Junior-brother, Senior-brother Meng is one of sect’s top ten genius disciples, so of course the treatment will be a bit different… But as long as junior-brother works hard in the future, you most definitely will also receive the same treatment as Senior-brother Meng.” Ni Mingyang comforted.
Lin Fan looked towards Ni Mingyang and nodded his head, ‘Aren’t you stating the plain obvious? With the power of Yours Truly, with just a little bit of effort, even the sect’s top ten genius disciples will become my experience treasure-trove. But for now let’s just lay low and go about this slowly, one step at a time.’
“Senior-brother Meng, how many outer sect disciples are there in total?” Lin Fan inquired. "Eight thousand eight hundred eighty-eight people." Ni Mingyang said. Upon hearing this Lin Fan’s heart leaped with joy, ‘More than eight thousand people, it seems after playing around here a bit and obtaining some more experience, securely achieving postcelestial stage is merely child’s play.’
“Junior-brother what are you smiling about?” Ni Mingyang seeing Lin Fan smiling alone, asked in confusion.
“No, I am not smiling, Senior-brother. I am feeling tired, so I wanted to go rest up.” At the moment, Lin Fan wanted to investigate the surroundings, take appropriate measures, and prepare to catch a big one.
“Alright, then take a good rest Junior-brother, your Senior-brother will take his leave now.” Ni Mingyang said. “Goodbye Senior-brother, I will come see you in a few days.” Lin Fan said while waving his hand. Ni Mingyang, who was preparing to leave, turned white in fear and quickened his pace upon hearing these words. ‘No good, I must move when I return home. If this guy comes to see me, it definitely will be for no good reason.’
Back inside the house…
Lin Fan opened the items he had collected. Medicinal pills contained inside a white bottle, a light colored long robe, a pair of shoes, a sword, an iron emblem, and a not too thick manual…and that was it…
‘Just these many items?’ Lin Fan sighed, feeling that the sect was a bit stingy. Lin Fan then dumped out a medicinal pill from inside the white bottle. The pill was white, the size of a soybean.
‘Ding… discovered ‘circulation pill’ ‘
‘Effects: Ingestion by ordinary people will increase inner energy circulation flow, strengthening the body, refining the internal organs, can only take one per day.’
‘Ingestion increase: experience + 100.’
Lin Fan counted, ‘A total of 30 pills… It seems these are given on a monthly basis.’
Lin Fan directly poured out all the medicinal pills and stuffed them into his mouth, gulping them all down at once.
‘Ding… experience + 3000.’
‘It seems that ingesting medicine will also be a good way to level up in the future,’ he thought. But for now, he was unfamiliar with this area, and hence there was a need to investigate it thoroughly. Afterward, Lin Fan picked up the distributed sect clothing and felt it with his hands, ‘Not bad, not bad… the material is rather reliable, very smooth. But what’s up with this, why is there a split on the left and right, is this perhaps a cheongsam?’
And it was also lift-able from the back, saving the trouble of having to undress.‘This…’ At this moment, Lin Fan couldn’t help but become rather sinister.
Then Lin Fan picked up the sword, testing it out in both hands. It was merely an ordinary sword, quite useless, so he directly threw it aside.
‘Ding… discovered《Saint Devil secret manual》… Learn?’
“Learn.”
At that moment, inside a variety of information appeared inside Lin Fan’s head which he didn’t previously know.
‘Not bad, not bad…’
The next day…Training field…
The outer sect examination disciples came to the training field one after another. At the same time, the faces of the outer sect examination disciples revealed a blissfully happy smile, as if something joyous had occurred. “Heh, senior brother is smart, managing to get rid of that monster. We won’t be bullied by him from now.”
Standing in the middle of the crowd, the unparalleled pretty boy smiled confidently, “A mere trivial matter.”
“Clever senior-brother.”
“Senior-brother is a brilliant person, his brain is better than anyone else’s.”
…
The surrounding outer sect examination disciples gathered around the unparalleled pretty boy, dousing him in flattery. The pretty boy was also enjoying this current situation and was smiling as bright as a sunflower.
…
In the early morning, Lin Fan hurriedly got up. He couldn’t allow his daily plans to be delayed from something like sleeping in. Since he had entered the outer sect, he needed to properly utilize the current resources, ‘Those outer sect disciples are all innocent little lambs that have not been harmed yet. Each one of them is softly calling out, just waiting for Yours Truly to invade.’
Lin Fan wore the lightly colored long robes of the outer sect disciples, tied the emblem to his waist, and walked towards the outside. Now, he needed to find the area where the outer sect disciples were training.
But when Lin Fan arrived at the place, he was instantly confused.
What’s this situation? Where did all the outer sect disciples run off to? How was the huge outer sect disciple training field this empty? There were only a few people, easily countable; this was completely different than what Lin Fan had in mind.
‘Under normal circumstances, this outer sect training field should be packed full of people, each one training their hardest. What’s up with this current situation? Is it possible that Yours Truly might need to return over to where the outer sect examination disciples are?’
‘Those guys can’t even provide much experience anymore, low enough to just completely disregard them. Heavens and earth… is it possible you just want me to decay away like this?’
‘I want to train, I want to level up.’
Lin Fan said nothing and directly stopped one person. “Senior-brother, may I ask why there is barely anyone on this training field?”Lin Fan asked in a friendly manner. The expression of the person stopped by Lin Fan didn’t look too good. Carefully looking at Lin Fan and seeing the emblem on his waist, he then asked, “Are you a new outer sect disciple?”
“Yes,” Lin Fan replied while nodding.
“The outer sect training field usually doesn’t have many people. The vast majority of brothers typically train at their own quarters.” The dragon-sleeved Senior-brother lightly replied, seeing that the attitude of this Junior-brother was quite nice.
“I see.” Lin Fan nodded, ‘But this is quite troublesome. They all train within their own quarters, just what method should he use to lure those guys out? It seems there is a need to think about it and make a plan.’
But…for now, Lin Fan had a crucial matter that he needed to take care of.
“Senior-brother, may I ask how you are viewed upon amongst the outer sect disciples?” Lin Fan curiously asked.
“Respected by everyone.” The dragon-sleeved Senior-brother raised his head while proudly saying. Lin Fan looked at the other party, ‘He had a bit of swag, so it was likely true.’
“May I ask for Senior brothers name?” Lin Fan asked humbly.
"Han Lu.” Even though senior-brother Han didn’t understand why this outer sect Junior-brother asked this, he still decided to reply to the other party.
“Senior-brother Han, how do you see me?” Lin Fan asked. Han Lu looked at Lin Fan in confusion, his heart asking thousands of questions… Just what did this junior-brother want? He was currently heading over to Elder Chuan Gong to borrow a manual. If he ended up missing the time, he’d be deeply regretful.
“This is the first time I met junior-brother, so it’s hard to say. If there is anything else Junior-brother needs, let’s talk next time. Since your Senior-brother has business he needs to attend to, I must leave now.” Han Lu hurriedly said, as if he didn’t want to talk anymore with Lin Fan.
Alright, senior-brother take care.” Lin Fan said while smiling. Han Lu nodded and then turned around leaving. "Senior-brother, please wait.” Lin Fan spoke up suddenly at this moment.
“What?” Han Lu turned around in doubt. But the instant he turned around, Lin Fan immediately moved.
“Monkey Steals Peach…”
