Suddenly, a tall figure shot forward, positioning himself in front of Lin Dong.
Lin Xuan pointed and struck the man's palm. Instantly, a bloody hole appeared—his fully perfected Pure Yuan Finger technique.
Its lethality was terrifying; very few could withstand it at the same realm.
This middle-aged man was only at early Tian Yuan Realm.
"Ah!"
The man screamed in pain, blood dripping from his hand.
The three stared at Lin Xuan, astonished. They hadn't expected such power from someone so young....someone at the Tian Yuan Realm.
"Fighting is forbidden in the Artifact Hall. Don't you know the rules?"
An elderly voice spoke. Everyone turned to see a gray-robed elder, appearing quietly behind Lin Dong.
"Master Yan." The brocaded man bowed quickly.
Beside him, a girl in a pale red dress also bowed respectfully. "Master Yan, it was Qing Xu's fault. Please forgive her."
The injured middle-aged man could only endure the pain and stand behind the brocaded man.
Master Yan's eyes scanned Lin Xuan with curiosity.
Rarely had he seen someone so young reach the Tian Yuan Realm.
Lin Xuan quickly explained, "It's our first time here. We didn't know the rules, and they struck first."
"Hm, I see. Not your fault." Master Yan nodded. Then he turned to Lin Dong, speaking kindly, "Little one, are you interested in becoming a Seal Master?"
"A Seal Master?!"
Lin Dong froze, uncertain, glancing at Lin Xuan. They had heard of Seal Masters from Lin Xia on the way...powerful, rare, and prestigious.
Those around them were astonished; Master Yan's status in Yan City was unmatched.
Many had sought his guidance but never had the chance.
And now, he was personally offering Lin Dong an opportunity.
"Seal Masters are incredible. If you want to learn, try it," Lin Xuan encouraged.
Originally, Lin Dong hadn't followed Master Yan for fear of exposing the Stone Seal in his palm.
But that worry was needless.....the Stone Seal was the second greatest artifact; Master Yan had likely never heard of it, let alone recognized it.
"Learn! Why hesitate, Lin Dong? If you master it, our family will have a Seal Master!" Seeing his hesitation, Lin Xia excitedly patted Lin Dong's back. From the reactions around her, she knew Master Yan was extraordinary.
Bold Lin Xia spoke up: "Master Yan, I'm very interested in Seal Mastery. Can I learn too?"
"You?" Master Yan smiled, then his gaze sharpened. A wave of spiritual energy enveloped Lin Xia.
"Oh, there's some spiritual talent here."
He was slightly surprised.....Lin Xia had some spiritual aptitude, though far behind Lin Dong.
Spiritual talent was rare, one in ten thousand. And suddenly, two of the three newcomers had it.
He looked at Lin Xuan, sending spiritual energy to him.
Hmm?
Lin Xuan felt the external spiritual energy pressing on his forehead and instinctively countered it with his own mental force.
"Eh!" Master Yan's expression shifted. His pupils trembled… such spiritual power, already rivaling a first-rank Seal Master.
He stared at Lin Xuan, "Have you ever practiced spiritual energy?"
"Lin Xuan doesn't even know about Seal Masters. How could he have practiced spiritual energy? Master, you must be mistaken."
Before Lin Xuan could answer, outspoken Lin Xia spoke up.
Earlier that morning, she had explained Seal Masters to them, believing she knew more.
Master Yan's pupils glowed. Shocked, he murmured, "A genius… an absolute genius!"
He gazed at Lin Xuan as if he were a priceless treasure.
Lin Xuan rolled his eyes inwardly. Really?
Though he knew his spiritual talent was high, he hadn't expected such an over-the-top reaction.
Clearly, Master Yan wanted to take him as a disciple.
Lin Xuan considered it. Master Yan was the strongest Seal Master they could approach at this early stage, with both skill and reputation.
A mentor could open the door to learning Seal Mastery....a critical first step.
Although Lin Dong didn't originally study under Master Yan, he would later owe his Seal Mastery to him. He was the one who opened the path.
"Let's try the task first."
[Task: Become Master Yan's disciple. Reward: +2 Spiritual, +2 Comprehension, Beginner Seal Master Talent.]
"Such generous rewards," Lin Xuan thought in awe.
Master Yan's face beamed with excitement. "Do you wish to become a Seal Master? If so, I will personally teach you."
Seeing Master Yan's reaction, everyone else froze in shock...,the brocaded gentleman and injured middle-aged man especially.
They had intended to take revenge on Lin Xuan, but now, seeing Master Yan's attitude, all they thought about was earning Lin Xuan's forgiveness.
