The room was completely silent.
Every disciple stared at Lin Tian.
Even Gu Han had stopped smiling.
Lin Tian took a slow breath.
He bowed respectfully.
“Elder Chen…” “I’m sorry.” “I didn’t know this would happen.” Elder Chen looked at the shattered formation on the floor.
“You didn’t answer my question.” “What happened?” Lin Tian lowered his head.
“I only followed the cultivation technique I know.” “The Spiritual Qi suddenly became stronger.” “After that…” “I don’t remember much.” The old man’s voice echoed in his mind.
“Good.” “Tell the truth.” “But not the whole truth.” Elder Chen remained silent.
His sharp eyes carefully observed Lin Tian.
Then…
He slowly nodded.
“I believe you.” Lin Tian quietly let out the breath he had been holding.
“But…” Elder Chen continued.
“You possess a very unusual physique.” “When the Spiritual Qi gathered…” “It was as if the formation itself was being drained.” Several disciples nodded.
“We felt it too.” “The entire ship lost Spiritual Qi.” Gu Han frowned.
“What kind of cultivation technique can do that?” No one had an answer.
Yue Qingxue stepped forward.
“Elder.” “Perhaps the formation simply couldn’t handle the amount of Spiritual Qi.” Elder Chen looked at her.
“That is possible.” He looked back at Lin Tian.
“Whatever the reason…” “You must not cultivate inside the ship again.” “If another formation breaks…” “It could endanger everyone.” Lin Tian immediately bowed.
“I understand.” Elder Chen smiled faintly.
“Good.” He turned toward the disciples.
“The rest of you.” “Return to your training.” “There’s nothing more to see.” Although they obeyed…
Many disciples continued looking at Lin Tian.
Some looked curious.
Others looked suspicious.
Gu Han stared at Lin Tian for several moments.
Then he turned and walked away.
As he passed by…
He whispered quietly.
“You’re hiding something.” Lin Tian said nothing.
He simply watched Gu Han leave.
A few moments later…
Only Elder Chen, Yue Qingxue, and Lin Tian remained.
Elder Chen took out a small jade bottle.
He handed it to Lin Tian.
“Take it.” Lin Tian looked confused.
“What is it?” “Three Body Tempering Pills.” “They will help you stabilize your recent breakthroughs.” Lin Tian’s eyes widened.
“You…
you’re giving these to me?” Elder Chen nodded.
“You earned them.” “Use them wisely.” Lin Tian accepted the bottle with both hands.
“Thank you, Elder.” Elder Chen smiled.
“I look forward to seeing your performance during the entrance examination.” With that…
He turned and left.
The door quietly closed.
Lin Tian looked at the jade bottle in his hands.
His first cultivation resources.
The old man laughed.
“It seems this Elder Chen has taken an interest in you.” Lin Tian smiled.
“I won’t waste his kindness.” Yue Qingxue folded her arms.
“Don’t celebrate too early.” Lin Tian looked at her.
“Why?” She looked toward the upper deck.
“Because Gu Han won’t let this go.” “He has always hated anyone who receives attention.” Almost at the same time…
In another room aboard the flying ship…
Gu Han slammed his fist onto a wooden table.
Bang!
The table cracked.
A young disciple standing nearby looked nervous.
“Senior Brother Gu…” “What should we do?” Gu Han’s eyes turned cold.
“I don’t care what secrets Lin Tian is hiding.” “But during the entrance examination…” “I’ll expose him in front of everyone.” A cruel smile slowly appeared on his face.
“And if I get the chance…” “I’ll make sure he never becomes an Azure Cloud Sect disciple.”
