Hahaha!
The Venerate laughed heartily and said, "Qiong Building, there’s no need to be modest."
"Although the masters and elders’ cultivation is quite average, much inferior to mine back in the day, it’s also due to the decline of Yuan Energy in Taicang State, so it’s not your fault."
"If I lived in this era, I might not be able to make any great progress for the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple either."
"What’s more..."
The Venerate chuckled, "Under such harsh circumstances, you were able to nurture an outstanding prodigy."
"Far better than I was."
"I’m barely in time to commend you, how could I punish you?"
The Hall Master heaved a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
He realized it was indeed praise.
Yet he was somewhat puzzled; had the Venerate met Hua Wuying in the sect?
As he rose to his feet, he asked, "Venerate, which prodigy are you referring to?"
The Venerate laughed, "Still playing coy with me?"
"Simultaneously cultivating Cloud Shadow and achieving Perfection with the Undying Blade, that’s stronger than I was back then."
"Cloud Shadow is the hardest one to master."
Uh!
Not just the Hall Master was stunned.
The masters and elders present were all equally dumbfounded.
The Hall Master exclaimed in astonishment, "Venerate, when did we ever have such a figure in the hall?"
Does the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple have such an extraordinary disciple?
Why weren’t they aware of it?
Hmm?
The Venerate was also taken aback and pointed to Jiang Fan sitting at the far end, "Isn’t that kid the one who achieved Perfection in both Cloud Shadow and Undying Blade?"𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
Ah?
The Hall Master, the masters, and numerous elders all turned their gaze toward Jiang Fan.
Utterly surprised.
The Hall Master spoke with a long, tremulous voice, "You, you have also cultivated the Undying Blade to Perfection?"
Jiang Fan was speechless.
He had always intended to keep it a secret, but who knew the Venerate would expose it.
At this point, he could only brace himself and say, "Yes, Hall Master."
"With a stroke of luck, I managed to master the Third Layer."
The Hall Master widened his eyes, and the masters and elders all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
The disciples of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, with complete cultivation techniques and ample power of thunder and lightning, find it quite arduous to achieve Perfection in a single part.
Jiang Fan, an outsider, pieced together cultivation techniques and instead perfected two parts?
How can this not make the disciples of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple feel embarrassed?
Luckily Cold Sword Master left early, otherwise, he might’ve cursed himself in the mirror in anger.
"What, as the Hall Master, you don’t know to what extent the juniors under your care have cultivated their techniques?"
The Venerate’s expression darkened slightly, "What are you doing? So irresponsible?"
"Do you think being the Hall Master is too much of an injustice for you?"
The Hall Master looked aggrieved, not knowing how to respond for a moment.
Seeing the Venerate’s expression grow increasingly stern, he could only steel himself and say, "Venerate."
"He is not a disciple of my Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple."
Uh!
The Venerate’s expression suddenly froze.
This answer was truly unexpected.
A person sitting in the grand hall of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple, having perfected two parts of the Thunder Dao Divine Power, surpassing the five masters present, yet is not from the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple?
Is this a haunting?
Does such a thing exist in the world?
Silence enveloped the grand hall, and none of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Tribulations Holy Temple could lift their heads.
Each one blushing fiercely.
