Principal Tian did not explain anything regarding this matter. It was understandable why Yun Lingwei had this reaction. He smiled faintly and turned to Yun Lintian. "Do you want to participate in the next test? If you don't want it, I will make an exception for you." He then turned around to the Hall Masters behind him and said. "If anyone wants to recruit him into your hall, you can say it now."
"I want him." Nangong Xi was the first to speak. When she heard Hong Wuya talking about how terrifying Yun Lintian could become, she did not believe him and thought he was just boasting. However, after knowing the ins and outs of the earlier incident, he was thoroughly convinced now. It would be a pity to let such a talented individual go.
"My name is Nangong Xi, the Hall Master of Profound Hall. In the future, you can call me Sister Xi directly." Nangong Xi looked at Yun Lintian with a smile. "If you are willing to enter my hall, I will make you my direct disciple, and you will receive the best resources."
"Sister Xi? Aren't you too shameless? You can be his grandma with no problem with your current age." Hong Wuya laughed contemptuously.
Nangong Xi just gave him a cold snort and completely ignored him.
Yun Lintian didn't expect Principal Tian would do this. He, of course, did not want to go through the tournament arc. It was better to skip it directly.
He thought for a moment and replied. "This junior thank Hall Master Nangong for the invitation…However, this junior wants to consider more about it first before choosing." Before Nangong Xi and other hall masters could say anything, he quickly added. "Right now, this junior wants to take a rest first. Please forgive me for my rudeness. If any hall master truly interested in this junior, you can send someone to find me later."
Hearing this, Nangong Xi and others didn't insist further. They exchanged a few words with him and left the square afterward.
Principal Tian turned to Tian Jiuyi and said. "Go. Bring him to the Sky Courtyard." Following that, his figure blurred slightly and vanished from the square.
Tian Jiuyi was surprised when he heard his great-grandfather's words. The Sky Courtyard was known as the most important place in the academy. It exclusively belonged to Principal Tian. No one, even the two vice-principals, had ever entered that place, yet his great-grandfather told him to bring Yun Lintian there. It could be seen how much he value Yun Lintian.
Tian Jiuyi said. "I'll bring you there, Brother Yun."
Yun Lintian thought for a moment and nodded his head. Before leaving, Yun Lintian suddenly discovered Chu Heng and Chu Mi lying behind Hong Wuya. It was at this moment did he remember what had happened to Chu Mi.
Yun Lintian quickly went to Chu Mi's side. But before he checked on her, Yun Lintian asked Yun Lingwei to treat Chu Heng first, as his injuries were too severe.
"Brother Yun… Please help Little Mi." Chu Heng's body was covered with blood. He ignored his own injuries and tried to use his broken arms to grab Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian nodded his head solemnly. "Don't worry. She will be fine with me. You should take care of yourself first."
Leaving Chu Heng aside, Yun Lintian quickly opened Eyes of Heaven to check on Chu Mi. The scene in front of him made his face turn gloomy instantly.
In order to make humans able to accommodate Abyssal Energy, Poison Valley had to inject Abyssal Energy forcefully into the target's Origin Core. However, in Chu Mi's case, because she hadn't formed her Origin Core yet, they had to inject some of the profound beast's origin blood into her heart first and slowly turned her into a half-human, half-profound beast.
What was more, not every profound beast's origin blood was compatible with humans. With a glance, Yun Lintian could see so many types of origin blood mixing within her blood vessels. It had clearly resulted from a cruel experiment. Yun Lintian could not imagine what kind of painful experience Chu Mi had been through in the process.
He took a deep breath and turned to Hong Wuya. "Senior Hong, please help me stabilize her blood flow first. My current energy is not enough."
"Easy." Hong Wuya waved his hand, and gentle profound energy quickly entered Chu Mi's body. A moment later, the blood flow within her gradually slowed down, causing the transforming process to stop for the time being.
"Thank you for protecting them." Yun Lintian bowed his head slightly toward Hong Wuya. Although he did not witness by himself, Hong Wuya had definitely protected the Chu's siblings during this period. Otherwise, Peng Haoye would use them as an excuse and force them to their death by now.
Hong Wuya waved his hand dismissively. "Compared to what you did to me, this is nothing. Besides, this Yang brat is also my Starry Hall student. How can I let anyone bully my student in front of me? What's more, I want to slap that Peng Haoye guy's face a long time ago… What a pity, he didn't dare to fight me."
Yun Lintian was amused by Hong Wuya's words.
"Brother Yun…" Chu Heng had recovered a bit. He wanted to get a confirmation whether Yun Lintian could cure Chu Mi.
Yun Lintian understood this and replied. "Don't worry. I have a way to help her. She will definitely return to her original state."
Chu Heng's hands trembled, and he was choking slightly. "Thank you, Brother Yun. Thank you." His sister was everything to him. If something happened to her, Chu Heng would never forgive himself for the rest of his life.
Yun Lintian said nothing further and beckoned Tian Jiuyi to bring him and others to the Sky Courtyard.
During the whole process, Lin Xinyao didn't say anything and watched Yun Lintian calmly. At the same time, her heart was full of curiosity toward him. She recalled everything from the first time they met until now and suddenly felt those so-called geniuses, including her talent, could not be compared to him at all.
Lin Xinyao didn't even notice that this was the first time in her life that she was genuinely curious about someone…
