Chapter 893: Chapter 570: Junior Disciple, Senior Brother Will Take Good Care of You (Heavenly Talent War Concludes)

At this moment, the two of them realized they had fallen into a trap.

Just as they were thinking of conducting a thorough search, they saw Lv Potian flying over mid-air, with a trace of an... evil smile on his face.

Awakened by the voice of the Elder of Heng Mountain, Lv Potian quickly and subtly wiped off the expression from his face, regaining a stern and somber demeanor.

"Hmph."

"You two, as elders of the Seven Great Elders of my General Mountain, were surprisingly so careless in this Demon Nightmare Mountain."

"You have truly disappointed me."

Heng Shan and Han Chan were filled with guilt.

They did not understand why this happened.

Could it be that the Nightmare Demon Mountain Saintess had already known their target before they even arrived and set up this huge Illusion Array within the mountain to trap them?

But now, having just been rescued by Lv Potian, they naturally didn’t dare to say much.

"Let’s go back."

"Lord General."

Though feeling guilty, Heng Shan was still unwilling to return.

Seeing the chilling gaze of Lv Potian, Heng Shan gritted his teeth and said, "Lord General, I still haven’t found traces of the Nightmare Demon Mountain Saintess, I don’t know if my disciple Long Ze ended up like this because of her, subordinate..."

"No need to say more."

Lv Potian waved his hand, "Qing Hong has already died by my hands, whether Long Ze can recover in the future depends on his destiny."

"This..."

Though reluctant in his heart, Heng Shan had no choice but to follow Lv Potian back to General Mountain.

Seven days passed in the blink of an eye.

Lu Lin and the other seven had already arrived early at the arena, waiting for the final match.

This time.

Elder Li Song solemnly introduced the various masters and strong figures from General Mountain watching the duel.

The first was the Saint Lord of General Mountain, Lv Potian.

Lu Lin saw that this Saint Lord of General Mountain was tall and wore dark armor, but for some unknown reason, he couldn’t see his face clearly.

Next were the Elders.

Heng Shan, Han Chan, Ting Yu, Gui Bei, Cheng Yu, and Long.

Below the six elders were one hundred and eight Golden Divine Generals, three hundred and sixty-five Star Lodging War Generals, and nine hundred and ninety-nine Star Dust Generals.

Additionally, there were countless Star Emperors, leaders of various forces, emperors of various dynasties and kingdoms, sect leaders of major sects, etc.

Lower down, there were commanders like Hu Zeng who led armies independently outside.

The number was large, and Elder Li Song could not introduce them one by one, only provided a general introduction.

Lu Lin roughly estimated in his heart that just the Star Emperors appearing before him numbered over ten thousand.

This showed how powerful General Mountain was.

In comparison, the Xi Chu Empire where Sun Xiaorui came from had fewer than ten top experts who were Star Emperors. The emperor himself was just a Star Emperor, and their Wild Blade Sect Master was merely a Star King.

Such an Xi Chu Empire probably seemed like a tiny ant to General Mountain.

Perhaps just sending two Star Emperors with a grand army could completely wipe out the Xi Chu Empire.

Powerful, powerful, powerful.

To cultivate and grow in such a powerful General Mountain, for Lu Lin personally, was undoubtedly very safe, and the future would be incomparably bright.

Similarly, when Lu Lin becomes senior-level in General Mountain in the future, he would also wield enormous power.

At that time, without needing anyone else’s help, Lu Lin alone could lead the entire Human Federation to rise up, standing tall in this world full of competing heroes, the Longyuan World.

For a moment, seeing so many strong individuals, Lu Lin felt a surge of heroic spirit rise in his heart.

"Let’s begin."

Sitting at the top, Lv Potian said calmly.

There was no pressure, nor did he use any Star Skill, just a plain and simple sentence, which resonated directly in everyone’s heart.

The might of the Saint Lord, truly terrifying.

Without hesitation, Elder Li Song arranged the duel sequence for Lu Lin and the other seven Heavenly Talents swiftly.

One duel after another, Lu Lin emerged undefeated.

Yet, this final match tugged at everyone’s hearts.

Yue Dao versus Mo Yiqiang.

Both had only lost to Lu Lin, and against others, both had undefeated records as well.

This last opportunity to advance was right in front of them.

While watching the battle between the two, Lv Potian, sitting high above, felt a hint of doubt.

Some of Yue Dao’s moves were somewhat similar to the Saber Method he practiced when meeting his master a few days ago.

All involved covering a great distance, then followed by a flash of knife light.

It couldn’t be that Yue Dao was the one chosen by his master, could it?

Impossible, impossible.

As soon as this thought arose, Lv Potian shook his head repeatedly.

A fighting style similar to Yue Dao’s was not considered rare.

Though not many used it, over his long life, Lv Potian had seen at least over five hundred cultivators using this kind of cultivation and fighting technique.

His master would not choose such a genius to teach.

Lu Lin, certainly it’s Lu Lin.

Only such an all-around genius could be favored by his master.

Ultimately, in the battle between Yue Dao and Mo Yiqiang, Yue Dao, with an exceptional last strike, defeated Mo Yiqiang, winning the second spot to advance.

He would compete with Lu Lin for the head title of this Heavenly Talent War, the champion.

Seeing Yue Dao win with such difficulty, Lv Potian was further convinced that he could not possibly be the master’s disciple.

Struggling so much to defeat a Mo Yiqiang, what kind of Heavenly Talent is that?

Didn’t he see that when Lu Lin fought Mo Yiqiang, under Mo Yiqiang’s preemptive attack, he still managed to strike first, sending Mo Yiqiang flying off the arena with a single blow?

Such a person might truly be noticed by his master.

The outcome of the final showdown was without the slightest surprise.

Lu Lin effortlessly defeated Yue Dao, winning the head title of this year’s Heavenly Talent War.

Lv Potian felt excited inside.

From now on, this junior disciple would cultivate in his General Mountain, able to pass on the "affection" he received from his master back in the days to this junior complete intact, how exciting was that.

Fortunately, Lv Potian’s skills in keeping calm were fairly good, preventing him from jumping up on the spot.

After lightly complimenting Lu Lin, he disappeared from the arena area.

Now that he was completely sure of the junior disciple’s identity, he planned to implement the training plan he had been preparing with dedication over the past few days.

It would start...tomorrow.

However, Lv Potian wouldn’t personally approach Lu Lin.

Quite coincidentally, he recently learned that several elders intended to take Lu Lin as their disciple together. Lv Potian wouldn’t agree to that, Lu Lin was his junior brother after all, but allowing them to cultivate Lu Lin together with the standard of nurturing a sect’s unparalleled Heavenly Talent was not a problem.

Lv Potian could have the seven elders carry out some of his training plans.

...

In this Heavenly Talent War, Lu Lin emerged as the ultimate champion.

The entire Fierce Tiger Legion was immersed in a sea of joy.

Whether it was the leaders of the five major legions or some of the subordinate soldiers, anyone who knew of Lu Lin winning the Heavenly Talent War championship was thrilled.

Given Lu Lin’s Talent and strength, it wouldn’t take long for him to rise to the senior level of General Mountain.

They also knew Lu Lin was a person of deep feelings, and upon reaching a high position in the future, he definitely wouldn’t forget them.

Equally excited were the three thousand martial artists from the Human Federation who had come to Longyuan World with Lu Lin.

Within General Mountain, all levels of military advisory units began evaluating and rewarding the results of this Heavenly Talent War.

The one who directly discovered Lu Lin, Hu Zeng of the Fierce Tiger Legion, would be promoted to a position at General Mountain Headquarters.

General Ti Hu of Hu Wei Army would be exceptionally gifted treasures to assist him in successfully breaking through to the Star King Realm.

A series of personnel assignments within the Fierce Tiger Legion were being issued promptly and effectively.

When one person achieves the path, even the chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.

After Lu Lin won this competition’s championship, the greatest beneficiary was undoubtedly the Fierce Tiger Legion.

And those who lost the most...

Were not the Elder Li Song who lost over a thousand affiliated treasures in the preliminary selection.

But those internal gambling (homophone: spinach) forces within General Mountain who listened to Dong Bihe and placed Lu Lin at the first spot on the List of Heavenly Talent.

Before the Heavenly Talent War opened, that Dong Bihe went around pleading with various major power bosses, asking them to put Lu Lin in the first-place position, making him a target for all.

Those people were willing to do this.

Each time before the Heavenly Talent War, they would organize people to scout the actual combat abilities of each Heavenly Talent.

Lu Lin’s previous performances were not impressive, and he had only been cultivating for a short twenty years. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Such a candidate was a perfect smokescreen; placing Lu Lin in the top spot would surely confuse many who didn’t know the situation into placing bets on Lu Lin.

When Lu Lin was eliminated during the preliminary selection or arena matches, they would gain a large profit.

But now...
