The Sovereign’s Ascension

Liu Yunyan paused briefly before she spoke with a grave expression, “I know that he knows some spiritual runes, but even I’m surprised that he has such talent in spiritual runes.
As for what senior sister said about him not wanting to confine himself in the path of others, I can confirm that since his Aquaselenic Sword has reached the Manifestation Stage.”

Both Mo Ling and Mu Yu were shocked when they heard that.
To be able to train his sword technique to the Manifestation Stage meant that Lin Yun had obtained his own comprehension.
It wasn’t difficult to understand why Lin Yun wanted to modify the Infernal Mountain and River Painting.
That was just in his nature.
Someone like him would either be unheard of or shake the world.

The three chatted briefly before Mo Ling stored the painting carefully.
On the other hand, Liu Yunyan wanted to say something, but she hesitated.
In the end, she mustered up her courage, “Senior Sister Mo, you promised to teach me the lesser divine ability once I became a third grade spiritualist…”

“I did say that, but I also said that you needed to grasp ten third grade spiritual runes,” said Mo Ling.

“But there isn’t any time left.
I wish to give it a try,” said Liu Yunyan as she bit on her lips.

“How do you want me to teach without grasping ten third grade spiritual runes? You don’t even have the qualification to observe the divine ability,” said Mo Ling indifferently.

“But I wish to give it a try…”

“Go down.
I’ll naturally look for you once you grasp ten third grade spiritual runes,” replied Mo Ling.
She had no intentions of giving in.

Although Liu Yunyan was filled with reluctance, she could only leave seeing the indifference on Mo Ling’s face.
On the other side, Yu Mu wanted to say something, but she ultimately kept her mouth shut.

Mo Ling was already accommodating enough.
In truth, you needed to grasp twenty third grade spiritual runes to try and cultivate a divine ability.
Otherwise, the consequences would be dire.

After Liu Yunyan left, Yu Mu sighed, “She’s a little too stubborn.
She ignored the dangers this time and obtained three Indigoflame Goldlotuses.
She’s probably trying to make up for her father’s regret and disgrace back then…”

Mo Ling looked at Yu Mu, and she placed a finger on her lips.
This made Yu Mu’s face change because she recalled that Liu Yunyan could still listen to their conversation.
Near the gate, Liu Yunyan’s eyes became watery when she heard those words.

After Liu Yunyan left, Mo Ling spoke out, “Elder Yu, Lin Yun is only eighteen if I remember correctly, right?”

Yu Mu smiled, “I know what you want to say.
Senior Brother Tang also has the same thoughts.
He tasked me to observe him secretly, but I never expected that lad to attract your attention so quickly.
But…”

“But what?” responded Mo Ling.

“Lin Yun injured your elder cousin and he had also offended you that day,” said Yu Mu carefully.

Mo Ling raised her brow and smiled, “You’re being too sensitive.
That fellow is arrogant and it would be weird if I have a good opinion about him, but what Junior Sister Liu said is right.
We don’t have much time left and he might be the key to our academy.

“As for my elder cousin, he was just a piece of trash back in the clan.
The clan wanted to make use of my position in the academy to give him a position so that he doesn’t waste the clan’s resources.”

Yu Mu smiled bitterly because Mo Ling was really direct.
All the elders knew why Mo Feng wanted to be a guest deacon.
If it wasn’t for Lin Yun, they wouldn’t be too bothered by it due to Mo Ling.
After all, Mo Ling was someone who grasped a lesser divine ability and she might even take over the entire academy in the future.

“That’s good then.
I don’t have any concerns now,” smiled Yu Mu because she was glad that Mo Ling could be so understanding.
“I’ll entrust you to train that lad.
His talent is truly monstrous, but he’s lacking in guidance.”

“I’ll naturally do my best since I’ve accepted the task.”

“Very well.
Also, if you can’t hold him, you can try to tempt him with a divine ability if needed.”

“This…” Mo Ling was shocked because she never expected that from Yu Mu.

“We can’t lose anymore.
If he’s really that talented, then we need to take the bet.
I believe Senior Brother Tang will agree to it as well,” sighed Yu Mu with a grave expression.

“I understand.” Mo Ling nodded her head.
As for Lin Yun, he still had no idea what to expect, but something so important was decided without him knowing.

“Let me have the painting.
I’ll let Senior Brother Tang take a look at it and then I’ll return it to you tomorrow,” said Yu Mu as she took the painting from Mo Ling before she left.
