Chapter 131: The Inspection Team and the Pavilion Master (Requesting Monthly Vote)
"Dada!!"
Sweat droplets flew as Lin Qi trained vigorously, his heart pounding with exhilaration.
Muscles tensed, arms swinging wide, he wielded the Black Long Spear with sweeping motions, feeling his surging Vital Force condense into a storm of power erupting from the spear's tip.
"Whoosh!"
The spear sliced the air, sending shockwaves rippling outward, whipping the surrounding atmosphere into a frenzy of gusts.
The piercing whine of the strike resonated like sweet music in his ears.
He only stopped when his strength ebbed completely, his arms too heavy to lift.
"Thud!"
Collapsing onto the mats, Lin Qi grinned broadly.
Finally! He’d mastered it!
In just three days—no, two and a half days—he’d grasped the method to channel Vital Force.
This breakthrough had propelled his Spear Techniques to thirty percent, officially elevating him to the Second Stage’s initial phase.
"It’s the bronze-tier manual’s power. It boosted my spear skills faster than I imagined."
Clenching his fist, Lin Qi recalled Lone Wolf. If they clashed again, he’d dominate—head-on, decisively, victoriously.
......
That evening, at the Tianhai Crimson Heaven Martial Arts Pavilion’s rooftop landing pad, a sprawling concrete expanse:
The spring breeze, once biting, now caressed like a gentle breath.
Yue Feng stood in a tailored black suit, his posture sharp, beside Lu Wei, the deputy pavilion master, whose bulky frame and rugged features exuded menace. Behind them, several middle-aged men and women in crimson-and-black uniforms—department heads of the Crimson Heaven Martial Arts Pavilion—radiated a domineering aura that would paralyze ordinary people.
A gust roared overhead, rustling Yue Feng’s coat and hair.
"They’re here!"
He tilted his head skyward as a massive, obsidian-red saucer descended.
"Even in Xia Kingdom, the Peregrine Falcon-class aircraft is top-tier", Yue Feng remarked. "Dreaming of owning one?" Lu Wei scoffed.
Yue Feng snorted. "That thing costs over 3 billion yuan. Only corporate tycoons or elite Eight-Domain masters can afford it. Even our pavilion master borrows the headquarters’."
"Still", Lu Wei muttered, "a large city branch like ours gets envied for this."
The aircraft’s hatch hissed open, revealing a man in his thirties—handsome, poised, draped in a moon-white robe that exuded scholarly elegance.
Yue Feng noted the man’s aura, subdued yet palpable. "He’s grown stronger—his presence is fully restrained now."
The group stepped forward. "Welcome back, Pavilion Master!"
Wu Lingyun, Tianhai’s pavilion master, waved them off with a smile. "Enough formality. We have guests."
Behind him, six figures emerged. Leading was Zhang Tai, a middle-aged man with a square jaw and stately bearing, flanked by a green-clad woman and a spectacled man in a gray suit.
"Introducing the inspection team from the Imperial Capital headquarters", Wu Lingyun announced. "This is their leader, Zhang Tai."
"Mr. Zhang, welcome", Yue Feng greeted.
Zhang Tai raised a hand genially. "Let’s begin the assessment immediately. No need for rest."
Wu Lingyun nodded. "Yue Feng, let’s reconvene in the conference room shortly."
"Agreed", Yue Feng replied.
......
In Wu Lingyun’s office—a serene, classical space with garden projections on its walls—the pavilion master sat on a mahogany smart chair, his demeanor scholarly.
"I’ll leave in two days", he told Yue Feng. "You and Lu Wei will manage the pavilion until then."
Yue Feng frowned. "So soon? What’s urgent enough to require a trip to another realm?"
Wu Lingyun sighed. "A critical matter. I must go personally."
Yue Feng hesitated. "Lin Qi—the recruit you assessed—is promising. Will you review his file?"
Wu Lingyun sipped tea. "No need. Zhang Tai’s reputation for fairness precedes him. If Lin Qi’s an Innate Talent, he’ll earn his S-Rank Genius status naturally. Just cooperate with the team."
Yue Feng nodded reluctantly, unease prickling at his spine.
......
In the pavilion’s minimalist conference room, Zhang Tai sat at the head of an oval table, opposite Yue Feng.
"Based on your records, we’re here to evaluate Zhou Xi Yin and Lin Qi", Zhang Tai said.
Sun Manager activated a holographic screen, while staff distributed files.
"Thank you for these materials", Zhang Tai said. "We’ll stay a week. Let’s ensure smooth collaboration."
"Of course", Yue Feng smiled.
......
Later, alone with his team, Zhang Tai sipped tea. "Split into two groups. Xiao Rui, assess Lin Qi." The spectacled man nodded.
"Xiao Wan, take Zhou Xi Yin", Zhang Tai instructed the green-dress woman, who sighed, secretly hoping for Lin Qi’s assignment.
"Both files fall short of S-Rank Genius standards", the spectacled man, Wen Rui, noted. "They’re outclassed by Li Zehao of the Imperial Capital or Feng Qingyue from the Demon Capital—ranked in the nation’s top fifty."
"Files are mere references", Zhang Tai replied. "We’re here to verify. Too many branches have faked reports, missing true talents. We reconvene in a week. Tomorrow, we begin."
The team nodded, impressed by Zhang Tai’s rigor.
Alone, Zhang Tai murmured, "Zehao..."
