Chapter 2192: Chapter 2212: Master is Proud of You!_1

Shu Zi Feng stood on top of the massive cauldron, her hair dancing in the mountain breeze. She exhaled a breath she had been holding for a while and glanced at the two people in front of her, a smile crossed her face.

She had succeeded!

Although she didn’t take first place, third-place was more than enough to satisfy her.

She did hope to distinguish herself in this struggle and win the attention of the Myriad Immortal Hall so that she would have more influence in the future. She might reach higher positions and wield more power, better protect her family. But the first step was passing the assessment.

There were many geniuses and demons among the challengers in this cohort. If she could be the third one to pass, it meant that she was not inferior to them!

This eased the anxiety of Shu Zi Feng, who was originally somewhat nervous in her heart, and gave her a lot more self-confidence.

Gazing at the surging crowd below and feeling the stares from countless fervent eyes, Shu Zi Feng suddenly turned her head and looked at a certain place in the crowd.

Respected Ziyun was arm in arm with Lin Chen, surprised and stared at her. Lin Chen was also looking at her with a faint smile on his face.

Shu Zi Feng’s heart throbbed, and she felt a sudden panic, as if a deer were running rampant.

It was over!

The master and mistress had seen her!

She had registered for the competition behind their back. Would they blame her? Would they think she didn’t want to be with them and therefore wanted to sneak away?

Shu Zi Feng clenched her fists for no apparent reason, and her body tensed for a moment.

She anxiously met her master’s gaze, their eyes meeting in midair.

Shu Zi Feng watched as Lin Chen nodded and smiled at her, raising his hand and clapping a few times.

Huh?

Shu Zi Feng was quite surprised. Was her master cheering for her by clapping?

He’s smiling!

Wasn’t he angry that she’d deceived him?

Thinking of her master’s warm and tolerant character, Shu Zi Feng relaxed. He was such a good person. He wouldn’t blame her, would he?

Coming in third place, I hope I didn’t embarrass my master.

If only she could have taken first place!

She obtained a great opportunity from the heritage. Although she didn’t have the prominent backgrounds these people had, the heritage she possessed was definitely no worse than theirs!

Perhaps all she lacked were resources for cultivation. Once she entered the Myriad Immortal Hall and performed dazzingly, would there still a need to worry about resources?

Even if she doesn’t cultivate the Myriad Immortal Hall’s techniques, she can still grow rapidly!

The master was going to open a Cave Mansion, so the resources required for everyone to cultivate in the future would not be a small amount. As his disciple, she shouldn’t be dependent, right?

By joining the Myriad Immortal Hall, doesn’t that mean reducing the resource consumption of one person’s cultivation?

Soon, more and more challengers passed the assessment. These people were all well-known geniuses within a certain range, but here, their luster was obscured by strong enemies.

As time passed, when the bell representing the time limit rang throughout the heavens and earth, the successful challengers showed smiles, while those who fell along the way showed dissatisfaction.

The senior management of the Myriad Immortal Hall who were supervising the assessment personally counted all the challengers who had passed, recording their names and finally tallying the number of people.

One hundred and eighty-two.

Less than 200 of the thousands who took part in the assessment passed, the pass rate was less than 5%!

A dignified old man stood in front of everyone and smiled, "Congratulations on passing our assessment. Next, you will follow us back to the Myriad Immortal Hall and formally join the Myriad Immortal Hall as a member."

"You will have a ten-day vacation to handle your private affairs. In ten days, we will depart and return to the Myriad Immortal Hall."

All the cultivators who passed the assessment were overjoyed. They had originally thought there would be a third round of assessment. They didn’t expect there to be just one round of assessment besides the primary life-saving selection, and the outcome was decided directly.

The teams disbanded, and everyone left the Pan of All Beings, joyfully reporting to their family or friends.

Shu Zi Feng returned to Lin Chen and tentatively started, "Master..."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Why are you so cautious? Are you afraid I’ll scold you?"

Shu Zi Feng whispered, "Disciple did not inform the master, and came to register in private..."

Lin Chen interrupted Shu Zi Feng’s apology and laughed, "Well done! Master is proud of you!"

Shu Zi Feng’s eyes sparkled, "Master, you’re not angry with me?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Why should I be angry with you for finding a better path for yourself? I’m happy for you. What’s more, I know what you’re thinking. It’s your heartfelt gratitude for your master. I’m very happy."

Shu Zi Feng’s eyes turned slightly red. As expected, Master would always support her!

"Master, I will work hard and I won’t embarrass you!"

Lin Chen teased, "Master isn’t as good as you. I have no face to lose. So, don’t hesitate. Do what you want to do. All that matters is your safety."

Shu Zi Feng agreed crisply, "Thank you, Master. Once you and mother have settled in, please send a letter and let me know the whereabouts. When I have time, I’ll come back to visit."

Lin Chen readily promised, "Of course! After all, it’s also your home. We’ll certainly let you know."
