"Wait! W-what the f*ck! Su Yuntao was directly hired without an assessment!!!"
"The relationship between Su Yuntao and the Hall Master isn't simple! If we join the Hall of Judgment today, we must not offend Su Yuntao."
Seeing Su Yuntao skip the interview assessment, a large crowd immediately began to speculate, assuming Su Yuntao had strong connections.
However, the interview assessment for joining the Hall of Judgment didn't place much emphasis on strength or realm.
It primarily assessed character, values, and work style. After all, the Hall of Judgment's duties were mainly divided into two types: First, monitoring and supervising Spirit Hall and all its branch hall personnel, which was more of an administrative role.
Second, eliminating problems, troubles, cases, and battles that local branch halls couldn't resolve, which pertained to combat personnel.
Su Yuntao had been in Nuoding City for a period, so his background and various aspects were relatively well-understood. There was no problem with him performing the first type of work, so there was no need for further assessment.
Soon, the several-day-long interview assessment finally concluded.
Three hundred personnel from the Angel Clan.
Over two hundred personnel transferred from Spirit Hall to the Hall of Judgment.
Over two hundred freelance Spirit Masters and personnel from small and medium-sized Spirit Master families joined as external recruits. The total number of Spirit Masters in the Hall of Judgment approached eight hundred.
Excluding the Angel Legion and Angel Clan personnel,
There were two Titled Douluo: Lin Tian, the patriarch of the Angel Clan, and ElderDugu Bo.
Two Spirit Douluo-level combatants.
Over thirty Spirit Saints.
Around one hundred Spirit Emperors.
Over three hundred Spirit Kings and Spirit Ancestors.
Over two hundred Spirit Elders.
Nearly one hundred Spirit Grandmasters.
This total number of Spirit Masters was already comparable to the number of Spirit Masters in the great Sects and great families below the Seven Great Sects on the Douluo Continent.
In terms of power, the Hall of Judgment had the Angel Legion, and was overseen by Lin Tian and Dugu Bo, two Titled Douluo.
It was already stronger than the Four Lower Sects among the Seven Great Sects, reaching the standard of the Upper Three Sects.
However, it was still inferior to the Upper Three Sects.
"Not bad," Lin Yu said, looking at the total number and strength of the Spirit Masters, nodding with satisfaction.
He immediately established multiple departments, such as the Monitoring Department, Investigation Department, Criminal Department, and Combat Department, to jointly manage and carry out the work of the Hall of Judgment.
After many days of consolidation and arrangements,
Lin Yu gathered all the personnel of the Hall of Judgment and loudly announced, "I declare that from now on! The Hall of Judgment is officially established!"
"Yes, Hall Master!"
Thus, the Hall of Judgment was established and began its work and duties.
Previously, Lin Yu's strength was insufficient, and he only had status and position but no real power or authority. So, he hadn't considered helping Spirit Hall accelerate the unification of the Douluo Continent.
But now, Lin Yu's strength was close to that of a Spirit Douluo, and he had the Hall of Judgment. It was time to start considering weakening Bibi Dong's control and influence within Spirit Hall and helping Spirit Hall unify the Douluo Continent.
"Once I obtain the Divine Dragon Bone opportunity beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it will be time to make a move and shake up the Spirit Master's world," Lin Yu mused.
He already had a plan to help Spirit Hall.
Undoubtedly, Spirit Hall's initiation of war and its steps to unify the Douluo Continent by attacking Star Luo and Heaven Dou would come earlier than in the original timeline.
"In this life, with me here, Spirit Hall will be invincible!"
"Spirit Hall will unify this continent!"
Lin Yu collected his thoughts.
The next day, Lin Yu immediately informed Qian Daoliu that he was going to Sunset Forest to cultivate for a period. Qian Renxue, Dugu Yan, and Dugu Bo would accompany him.
For safety, Qian Daoliu directly dispatched Qian Jun and Jiang Mo, two Elder Enshriners, to secretly protect Lin Yu this time.
The group of six immediately set off for Sunset Forest.
About ten days later, Lin Yu and the others finally arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
There were still nine months remaining for the Element God's Third Trial, so Lin Yu was not in a hurry; he had plenty of time.
He decided to first break through to spirit power level 56.
"Xue'er Jie, Yan Yan, you two can cultivate on your own during this period. You don't need to call me if you want to go play somewhere. Until I complete the Third Trial, I will be in secluded cultivation within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"Understood, we won't disturb you. Good luck with the Third Trial!" Qian Renxue and Dugu Yan encouraged him.
"Mhm!"
Lin Yu nodded, then leaped into the Yin Yang Well.
Splash~
For the next period, Lin Yu directly immersed himself in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well for secluded cultivation, aiming to break through to level 56.
One month later.
A spirit power fluctuation spread from his body. Lin Yu smiled, "I've broken through."
"Now it's time to go down and see."
Lin Yu looked at the bottomless Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and delved deeper into it again.
Last time, because Lin Yu's strength was too weak, he couldn't reach the bottom of the spring, not even seeing a single bone of the Ice Fire Dragon King. Now, three years later, his strength had undergone earth-shattering changes.
However, Lin Yu was not sure if he could reach the very bottom of the spring with his current power.
He swam all the way down into the depths.
One hundred meters!
Two hundred meters!
Lin Yu finally reached the depth of his previous dive, five hundred meters. It was at five hundred meters that he once again felt the energy barrier that had blocked him last time.
Only by breaking through this energy barrier could Lin Yu continue to delve deeper.
"Then I'll break through this energy barrier!!"
"Element Angel!"
"First Spirit Ability, Element Control!"
"Second Spirit Ability, Element Body!"
"Fire Fist!!"
Bang! Boom boom!
Lin Yu slammed a Fire Fist onto the barrier, but the power seemed far from enough; there was no sign of the barrier being broken.
Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately increased the intensity, condensing ice and fire energy: "Self-created Spirit Ability, Ice and Fire Duet!!"
Bang! Boom!
This time, the power was several times more terrifying than Fire Fist, yet it still couldn't have any significant effect on the barrier.
"How can this be? Even my Ice and Fire Duet only had a slight effect? Is the power gap still that large? If so, with only eight months remaining, how can I break through the barrier, obtain the Divine Dragon Bone, and complete the Third Trial?" Lin Yu's expression was very solemn.
Although Ice and Fire Duet was not his most powerful move at the moment, it wasn't much weaker than his Fifth Soul Skill, Angel Evil Thunder Sword.
If even Ice and Fire Duet only caused a slight effect, then the Fifth Soul Skill wouldn't be able to break it either!
"Right, this barrier is formed by the Ice Fire Dragon King's energy. A barrier formed by divine dragon energy of this level might have a strong immunity effect against my ice and fire attributes!"
Lin Yu immediately thought of the reason and instantly released his Fifth Soul Skill: "Angel Evil Thunder Sword!"
A ten-meter-long sword, condensed from seven ultimate attributes with lightning and evil, appeared in Lin Yu's hand. He raised the Angel Evil Thunder Sword and slashed at the barrier again.
Bang! Boom boom!
As expected, by using power other than fire and ice, the barrier in front of him had already been greatly affected!
