Chapter 888: Chapter 568: Fighting Over Lu Lin, Peerless Talent, Time Is Running Out (2)

Less than a hundred years old, with a cultivation at only the peak of the Star Lord, yet able to reach the peak of three transformations, such talent, she, Ting Yu, truly could not teach.

"Haha, fair competition after all, it mainly depends on Lu Lin’s choice."

Elder Long saw Elder Ting Yu’s expression and couldn’t help but laugh.

Even with his calm demeanor, after saying those words, he felt almost certain of success.

Everything Lu Lin needed, he could provide.

As for Soul Power cultivation, that was not difficult at all.

It’s not like if Lu Lin became his disciple, Lu Lin couldn’t also seek guidance from Ting Yu.

By then, Lu Lin would have essentially gained a master in Soul Power for free, leaving him delighted.

Elder Ting Yu glanced at Elder Long and could roughly guess his thoughts.

Eventually, even after Elder Long accepted Lu Lin as a disciple, he would still need her, Ting Yu, to teach Lu Lin about Soul Power.

All the effort, without any return, not even the title of Lu Lin’s master, completely working in vain.

If it were just ordinary people, Elder Ting Yu naturally would not be willing.

But Lu Lin.

She had already missed an opportunity once and did not want to miss it again.

"Lu Lin, take your time to consider."

"But I must say, I am proficient in cultivating Soul Power, having reached the level of Five Transformations, and I also have considerable experience in Formations, particularly the Illusion Array."

"Didn’t you enter my Illusion Array previously? If you wish to learn, I would teach you everything without reservation."

"And besides..."

Ting Yu glanced at the modest Long, a smile showing on her face.

"I am the only female among the seven elders, and female disciples in the Holy Land take pride in entering my tutelage."

"If you choose to join me now, then over three hundred senior sisters before you will know they have gained a potentially limitless junior disciple."

With these words, not only Elder Long but even Elder Li Song almost couldn’t hold it in.

Elder Ting Yu, having known each other for so many years, who would’ve thought you’d resort to such measures.

Over three hundred senior sisters?

Isn’t this aimed directly at the young Lu Lin?

Even Elder Long was momentarily taken aback.

He thought having fewer disciples would mean more resources dedicated to Lu Lin, which was an advantage.

But Elder Ting Yu, her tutelage includes over three hundred senior sisters.

The female disciples that Ting Yu favors, naturally their talents and qualifications are beyond question, and even their appearances are top-notch.

Many Golden Divine Generals, Star Lodging War Generals, and Star Dust Generals often visit Elder Ting Yu’s side under the guise of exchanging sentiments.

Over the course of tens of thousands of years, many female disciples have found their desired Dao Companions.

Yet, more disciples remain single.

If Lu Lin were to enter Ting Yu’s tutelage, he’d not only receive care from numerous senior sisters but also benefit from invaluable connections.

However, upon hearing Ting Yu’s words, Lu Lin merely smiled.

He never excelled in handling emotional matters, and consistently avoided romance, having rarely interacted with the opposite sex since Junior High School.

Regarding the more than three hundred senior sisters hinted by Elder Ting Yu, Lu Lin had no other thoughts.

"Thank you for your kindness, Elder Ting Yu. I am eternally grateful."

Lu Lin first bowed to Ting Yu, then turned around to face Elder Long.

"Elder Long, please forgive my presumptuousness."

"I have a question I wish to ask the senior."

Oh?

All three thought Lu Lin had made up his mind; otherwise, he wouldn’t be expressing gratitude in such a manner to decline Ting Yu.

None expected that before choosing Elder Long as a master, Lu Lin still had a question.

Indeed, a true Heavenly Talent with character.

"Mm, ask away."

Elder Long adjusted his glasses and said indifferently.

"Thank you, Elder Long. I wish to ask, after reaching the Dragon’s Power in physical strength, is it no longer possible to enhance it?"

"Of course not. The Dragon’s Power is a threshold for many cultivators. Below this... wait?"

Elder Long was explaining when he suddenly paused, incredulously looking at Lu Lin.

"What did you just say? The Dragon’s Power? Could it be that your physical strength has already..."

Lu Lin nodded.

The power of his body was his trump card, enabling him to contend with Star Emperor Realm powerhouses—a super trump card.

But such a trump card was practically useless against figures like the seven elders.

Not to mention the seven elders, even against an ordinary Star Dust General level master, he had no absolute certainty of victory.

"The Dragon’s Power, at the Star Lord Level, is actually at the Dragon’s Power."

Seeing Lu Lin nod in acknowledgment, even Long, known for his composure, found it hard to accept. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The physical strength of the Dragon’s Power was notoriously difficult to achieve—but only for those below the extreme state of Star Emperor powerhouses.

Once cultivators reach the extreme Star Emperor state, a metamorphosis occurs from within to without.

It’s a unification process of the entire body, the soul, from the inside out.

During this process, Star Emperor powerhouses make significant advancements in cultivation.

Some rapidly enhance their physical strength, some awaken certain cultivation talents, and some undergo drastic changes in character...

Ting Yu was the biggest beneficiary among the seven great elders during this process.

Originally, she was just an ordinary Star Emperor, not even at the level of a Star Dust General of General Mountain.

But after reaching the extreme Star Emperor state, she awakened an unparalleled talent in Soul Power cultivation.

In a short time, she became one of the foremost Soul Power experts in General Mountain, with her Soul Power reaching five transformations, leaving many contemporaries in awe.

From an ordinary Star Emperor, she rose through the ranks of Star Dust General, Star Lodging War General, Golden Divine General, entering the elder level with force.

Although she was the last to ascend among the seven great elders, her actual combat power was among the top.

If her Formation abilities were included, then apart from Elder Long, she could likely be second.

However, this process typically begins only after cultivators reach the extreme Star Emperor state.

Before that, to achieve Dragon’s Power in physical strength and five transformations in Soul Power, such individuals were practically nonexistent.

At least, in the tens of millions of years at General Mountain, they had not encountered such a genius.

Yet now, Lu Lin claimed he already possesses the Dragon’s Power.

While his Soul Power doesn’t reach five transformations, his level at the peak of three changes is far beyond others at the same level.

Does such a genius truly exist?

The three were stunned for a long time, exchanging glances to calm their emotions.

It seemed that their original plan for Lu Lin to mentor under one of the seven elders had to be canceled.

With Lu Lin’s talent, even the strongest, Elder Long, could only guide him in physical strength matters.

To fully unleash Lu Lin’s potential, it would require joint instruction from all seven or even personal guidance from Lord General Lv Potian to allow Lu Lin to shine his brightest.

"Ahem, Lu Lin, the fact that you possess Dragon’s Power is known only to the three of us. Do not easily disclose it to others in the future."

"Though strong, General Mountain is not without enemies."

"If those opposing forces discover your talent, they will do everything they can to extinguish it."

Elder Li Song spoke up.

He recalled what he and Ting Yu discovered on the back of Guan Qiao’s neck three days ago, clouding his mood.

They had come.

They were coming to destroy General Mountain.

Although it was still uncertain when, Guan Qiao’s appearance signified that those people had already focused on them.

Whether Lu Lin could reach the highest realm before the enemy destroys General Mountain was left entirely to chance.

"Alright, now, go back and rest a bit; you can consider the matter of apprenticeship leisurely."

Elder Li Song did not continue the topic but instead let Lu Lin leave.

After saluting the three, Lu Lin left Elder Long, Ting Yu, and Li Song with faces suddenly turning ashen.

"What to do?"

"There’s not enough time."

"Such a genius as Lu Lin might be killed before having a chance to grow."

"No, we cannot allow this."

"This matter must be reported to the Saint Lord. The Saint Lord, knowledgeable and invincible, surely has a way."

After some deliberation, the three decided to seek Lv Potian for a solution.

General Mountain had been their home for countless years.

Faced with the inevitable destruction of their home, it was crucial to ensure survival even after the home might be lost.

At the very least, geniuses like Lu Lin must not perish with General Mountain’s downfall.

Together, they ascended the mountain to the cave where Lv Potian was in seclusion, respectfully announcing, "Saint Lord, we three have important matters to report."
