Chapter 304: Chapter 302: Thunder Hall Master Strongly Dismisses Objections To Invite Tianming to Join Thunder Hall! But Tianming Refused!

"Outsiders will ultimately remain outsiders. Our Thunder Hall has its own rules. No matter how dazzling or famous he is in the outside world, it doesn’t mean he can just enter our Thunder Hall."

"Indeed, our Thunder Hall has stood at the pinnacle of Jiuzhou for a thousand years. We have never declined to the point of needing an outsider to sustain our Thunder Hall’s legacy. The mere fact that we granted this outsider a chance to participate in the Thunder Hall’s trial is already a favor, considering Jiang Han’s face."

"Non-Thunder Attribute Superpower Awakened are not allowed into our Thunder Hall. Rules are rules, Jiang Han. After your student from outside completes the trial, have him leave quickly!"

Before coming, Lin Tianming had anticipated he might be unwelcome, but he did not expect that these intransigent Thunder Hall Elders would be this blunt in front of so many distinguished figures from Jiuzhou.

And this was in spite of the fact that various distinguished figures from Jiuzhou were expressing their admiration for him. These old fellows still decided to play the bad guy.

Now, Lin Tianming understood why Jiang Han so detested these old guys.

Because they really had been on the mountain for too long, their thinking had gone bad, acting as if Thunder Hall was peerless and condescending towards everyone.

Since they did not recognize him, then he, Lin Tianming, did not hold their opinion in high regard.

What’s so great about the Thunder Hall’s thousand-year legacy? To this day, not even a single person has become a God. Are all people from Thunder Hall pigs?

"If the thousand-year legacy of Thunder Hall is so amazing, why is the strongest awakened force in the world from Beiyin Domain, not Jiuzhou with its colossal presence of Thunder Hall?"

Lin Tianming did not indulge these self-righteous Thunder Hall Elders and directly launched a scathing counterattack.

The moment he spoke, the faces of the Thunder Hall Elders, who had not been taking Lin Tianming seriously at all, changed expressions.

Seeing that they were momentarily at a loss for words, Lin Tianming continued: "In recent decades, when other domains bullied Jiuzhou, where was Thunder Hall, who prides itself as Jiuzhou’s number one force and guardian?"

Faced with Lin Tianming’s aggressive questioning, the Thunder Hall Elders really did not expect someone so young to be so eloquent.

For the moment, they were unable to organize a verbal rebuttal against Lin Tianming’s questioning.

It happened that Jiang Han wasn’t averse to stirring up trouble at this time and firmly stood by Lin Tianming’s side.

"A hundred years ago, Thunder Hall was challenged by a master sent from Xiluo Domain, who kicked in the mountain gate and fought all the way from the foot of the mountain to Thunder Hall’s Forbidden Land.

In the past century, Thunder Hall was also breached by Top Awakened challengers from various domains. If not for the final defense by the Palace Guardian Purple Thunder Phoenix, Thunder Hall would have long been annihilated.

Jiuzhou’s rise in recent years was not due to Thunder Hall, but because other forces in Jiuzhou produced Talents, which allowed Jiuzhou to attain its status just below that of Beiyin Domain."

As the Young Palace Master of Thunder Hall recounted the humiliating history of the past century where talents from various domains had trounced Thunder Hall, the Thunder Hall Elders blushed with shame.

"Jiang Han, remember your status as the Young Palace Master of Thunder Hall when you say these things. Is this how the Young Palace Master should speak?"

"Jiang Han, you actually say such things for an outsider who is not of our Thunder Hall. Is this how you act as the Young Palace Master?"

"I said before that it does not matter how talented Jiang Han is, she has a rebellious streak, not suitable to be the successor of our Thunder Hall! The Old Palace Master insisted on making her the successor against all objections. Do you see now? Publicly shaming our Thunder Hall in front of so many outsiders!"

"Thunder Hall needs those who understand and adhere to the rules; even if they are talented, they are not suitable to be the Palace Master of our Thunder Hall!"

The younger generation of Thunder Hall at the scene, also hanging their heads due to Jiang Han’s mention of Thunder Hall’s decline, could not raise their heads.

However, they did not feel Jiang Han had said anything wrong because Jiang Han was speaking the truth.

They stayed on the mountain all year long, complacent, considering themselves the millennial guardians of Jiuzhou, looking down on outsiders from other regions of Jiuzhou.

Little did they know that Thunder Hall had long since declined, and they had been deluding themselves with past glory.

Other forces in Jiuzhou had long stepped up, taking up the mantle of Jiuzhou’s guardians.

It was only recently that Thunder Hall produced a Talent like Jiang Han, making them feel that Thunder Hall might rise again and regain the confidence suppressed for so many years.

They even became somewhat arrogant, claiming that this was the ever-enduring Thunder Hall with a millennial legacy.

The other prominent figures from Jiuzhou said nothing, as they preferred to watch the drama unfold at such times.

While Thunder Hall was in dispute, another Elder from Thunder Hall stepped forward.

"Who dares to question my decision to choose Jiang Han as my successor?"

Compared to the other Thunder Hall Elders, this Elder from Thunder Hall exuded an even more terrifying presence.

Evidently, there was a disparity even among top-level Awakened.

Seeing this Elder step out, all the distinguished figures at the scene showed him respect.

"Greetings to the Thunder Hall Master. I am the current Feng Family Patriarch!"

Following Feng Lan’s father, who took the lead in showing respect to the Thunder Hall Master, the other prominent figures from Jiuzhou also did not dare any neglect towards the Thunder Hall Master.

Jiang Han also respectfully said, "Teacher!"

The Thunder Hall, due to its tradition of isolation on the mountain, had very ancient rules. They did not fancy the teacher and student titles liked in the outside world, preferring the traditional form of master and disciple calling.

The other Thunder Hall Elders then promptly complained to the Thunder Hall Master, asking him to punish Jiang Han for speaking up for an outsider.

"Old Palace Master, you are not aware. Just now, for a wild disciple she took outside, Jiang Han recounted our past century’s humiliating history in front of so many outsiders. You must discipline her properly!"

"Just look at the situation. Old Palace Master, usually you indulge her too much. If you don’t punish her, how can she be worthy of becoming the Palace Master in the future?"

"Yes, Old Palace Master, if Jiang Han isn’t severely punished this time, she will only become more unrestrained in her behavior!"

Instantly, the Thunder Hall Master released a terrifying aura, casting a cold glance at the group of Thunder Hall Elders.

"Is Jiang Han really wrong? The Thunder Hall has indeed declined over the past hundred years, and in its decline, it’s refused to recognize its own stagnation, reveling in the glory created by our ancestors to deceive itself. No wonder that the Thunder Hall is being humiliated by the talented individuals from various domains in this generation!"

Humiliated by the scolding of the Thunder Hall Master, the Thunder Hall Elders who had intended to tattle immediately turned red-faced with shame, unable to hide their embarrassment.

If the Young Palace Master Jiang Han had scolded them, they could have retorted.

But with the Thunder Hall Master scolding them, they truly didn’t dare to talk back.

Having finally silenced these obsolete old fools, the Thunder Hall Master looked at Jiang Han.

"Han’er, you did very well. For the Thunder Hall to restore its former glory, we indeed need talents like you. Is this child the student you have taken under your wing outside?"

"Yes, Master!"

Jiang Han respectfully acknowledged; she still held great respect for her mentor, the Thunder Hall Master.

Affirmed by Jiang Han, the Thunder Hall Master gave Lin Tianming a few more glances.

"Very impressive. To have reached Level 39 at such a young age, this Talent is truly unprecedented. Han’er, you have a keen eye for people. I look forward to his performance in the upcoming Thunder Hall trial!"

Hearing the Thunder Hall Master’s mentor and her abundant praise, Lin Tianming felt surprised.

Equally an old figure, the Thunder Hall Master was much more open-minded than those Thunder Hall Elders who had only rigid rules in their heads!

Under Lin Tianming’s gaze, the Thunder Hall Master turned back to Jiang Han.

"Right, Han’er, I noted the natural phenomenon earlier, which seemed to indicate an auspicious sign from the Palace Guardian Purple Thunder Phoenix, a rarity for a thousand years. Since you were outside just now, could you tell me what happened?"

"Of course, Master!"

First acknowledging, Jiang Han then recounted to her Palace Master and mentor the entire sequence of how the auspicious sign from the Purple Thunder Phoenix was due to Lin Tianming.

After listening attentively to Jiang Han’s words, the Thunder Hall Master revealed a look of disbelief.

"Han’er, are you sure that the auspicious sign from the Purple Thunder Phoenix was all because of this student, Lin Tianming, you took under your wing outside?"

Jiang Han firmly replied, "Absolutely certain, so many people witnessed it. If you do not believe it, Master, you can ask them!"

Feng Lan also chimed in, "I can testify that it was Tianming who caused the auspicious sign, and he even received the everlasting power blessing from the Purple Thunder Phoenix!"

The younger generation present also confirmed one after another.

Seeing such certainty from everyone, the Thunder Hall Master’s old face immediately lit up with excitement, as if he had discovered a treasure.

"Everlasting power blessing from the Purple Thunder Phoenix? Quick... let me see it, good child!"

Lin Tianming also nodded and, in front of the senior members of the Thunder Hall and the dignitaries of Jiuzhou, demonstrated his everlasting power blessing from the Purple Thunder Phoenix.

Witnessing firsthand that Lin Tianming truly received the everlasting power blessing from the Purple Thunder Phoenix, the senior members of Thunder Hall and the Jiuzhou dignitaries were all shocked.

It was one thing for Lin Tianming to cause the Purple Thunder Phoenix to send down an auspicious sign, but to even receive its everlasting power blessing...

This was an honor not even the first Palace Master of Thunder Hall from a thousand years ago ever had!

After a brief shock, the love the Thunder Hall Master felt for Lin Tianming grew even stronger.

"Excellent... truly excellent! To be acknowledged by the Purple Thunder Phoenix signifies that you are fated with our Thunder Hall. Child, would you be willing to join our Thunder Hall?"

The words of the Thunder Hall Master immediately sparked fierce opposition from the Thunder Hall Elders present.

"Palace Master, you must not do this! Thunder Hall has never accepted anyone who has not passed the examination, let alone someone who is not a Thunder Attribute Awakened, he cannot be admitted into our Thunder Hall!"

"Old Palace Master, please consider this carefully; we must not break the thousand-year-old traditions set by our ancestors!"

"Non-Thunder Attribute Awakeneds cannot enter our Thunder Hall, the Holy Land of Thunder Attribute Awakeneds. How can we admit someone who is not a Thunder Attribute Awakened into our Thunder Hall? Please reconsider, Palace Master!"

Faced with the opposition of the Thunder Hall Elders, the Thunder Hall Master’s expression grew cold as he released a terrifying Thunder Power from his body, causing the Thunder Hall Elders to tremble in fear.

"Am I the Palace Master, or are you? Do I need you to teach me how to handle my affairs?"

Having intimidated these old stick-in-the-muds content with merely vying for survival, the Thunder Hall Master once again showed a kindly grandfatherly smile to Lin Tianming.

"Little fellow, you are Han’er’s student, and now you’ve received the everlasting power blessing from our Thunder Hall’s Guardian. This signifies your fate with our Thunder Hall. I am willing to break the old rules of Thunder Hall for you. Would you be willing to join Thunder Hall?"

Seeing her mentor inviting her precious student to join the Thunder Hall made Jiang Han extremely happy.

Just as everyone present thought Lin Tianming would agree to join the millennia-old Thunder Hall, he shook his head.

"I refuse."
