"As expected…"
After hearing these words, Lin Dong laughed bitterly in his heart. He had not expected that he would be in such high demand, just a moment ago, he was recruited by the Thousand Gold Association to assist in the battle of Celestial Dan Pool with the Blood Wolf Guild. Now, he was once again invited by grandmaster Yan to participate in the Tower Battle.
In the previous Celestial Dan Pool affair, he had already offended the Blood Wolf Gang. The Battle Tower this time was a clash between the Symbol Master Guilds of the two cities, this practically represented all the Symbol Masters in both cities. Compared to the Celestial Dan Pool fight, this Tower Battle would obviously be much more difficult.
"Grandmaster, this youngster has only been cultivating in Mental Energy for a short period of time, it is somewhat inappropriate for me to participate in such an important matter right?"
Lin Dong considered his words as he spoke carefully. If it was a normal person who asked, he would instantly refuse, however, grandmaster Yan was someone who owed him a debt of gratitude. So, it was not easy for him to refuse.
“Although the amount of time you spent cultivating Mental Energy was not considered long, your abilities had surpassed most of the young Symbol Masters in Yan City. As the saying goes, the person who has reached the next stage should be a teacher, the length of cultivation is only secondary. ” Grandmaster Yan slightly smiled as he said.
Lin Dong felt a somewhat bitter feeling in his mouth, it seemed like grandmaster Yan was determined to make Lin Dong participate.
"Haha, are you worried about the Blood Wolf Gang?" After looking at Lin Dong silently, grandmaster Yan also understood that this youngster would not act without the incentives as he requested.
Lin Dong hesitated for a moment before gently nodding his head. After killing Wei Tong this time, he had completely offended the Blood Wolf Guild and given the current strength of the Lin Family, they were still unable to fight the Blood Wolf Guild. Even though they were under the protection of the Thousand Gold Association, it was still a bit uncomfortable when faced with factions like the Blood Wolf Guild that were eyeing them with envy. And this was also why Lin Dong had not dared to relax in his cultivation for the past half a month.
"If you can guard the Master Symbol Tower in Yan City, I can guarantee that the Blood Wolf Guild will not dare to touch your Lin Family." Grandmaster Yan chuckled.
If it had been before, Lin Dong would probably have been a little suspicious of grandmaster Yan's words. After all, even though the latter was extremely powerful, he was still the only one. But now that he knew that there was still the Symbol Master Guild behind this grandmaster, who was not inferior to the Blood Wolf Guild, Lin Dong's eyes sparkled after hearing these words.
“Borrowing the power of outsiders to protect the Family is only a temporary measure in the end, only when one reaches his own strength can he truly protect his Family.” Upon seeing that Lin Dong was still unable to make his decision, grandmaster Yan was not worried but instead smiled gently as he said: "According to my calculations, it is not, You should have made a breakthrough to the second seal level over the past two months. At this speed, even if your Mental Energy talent was extremely powerful, you would still need at least half a year or even a year to reach the third seal right?
Lin Dong nodded lightly, although he had not relaxed the slightest bit in his cultivation over the past month, he could clearly feel that his speed was not as fast as before. Clearly, advancing to the Yuan Dan stage of the advanced level or the third seal Symbol Master level would not be that simple. Even with the help of the mysterious Stone Amulet, he would still need half a year, after all, if it was someone else, it would be unthinkable even when given a few years.
Perhaps others would consider this amount of time rather short, however, with the Blood Wolf Guild enviously observing them from one side, who knows if there will be any changes to the situation in the next half year?
"I have a method that allows you to reach the third stage of the Master Symbol seal within half a year."
The following words Grandmaster Yan made Lin Dong's heart beat fast. The third seal Symbol Master, if he could reach that level, with his Mental Energy, he might be able to match the fourth seal Symbol Master. At that moment, even if he could not defeat Yue Shan in battle, it was enough to make Yue Shan not dare to make any reckless moves.
However ... if grandmaster Yan really had such a method, why would he need Lin Dong for the Battle of the Tower?
“I've said it before, the Master Symbol Tower is considered a sacred place for many Symbol Masters. Most importantly, it has a calming effect and purifies the mind.”
As if he knew about the doubt in Lin Dong's heart, grandmaster Yan smiled as he said: “The Symbol Master Tower is divided into nine levels. The higher the level, the more effective the tempering and refining effects were. If you can enter the seventh level, you have a chance to break through to the third Seal Master Symbol stage within half a year.”
“But don't underestimate this seventh level. Inside the Symbol Master Tower was the condensed Mental Energy of many previous Symbol Masters. The mental pressure there is huge, to reach the seventh level is not easy. For so many years, no one among the younger generation members of the Yan City Symbol Master Guild had managed to reach the seventh level. ”
“However, I feel that with your abilities, reaching the seventh level should not be too difficult. As long as you are able to last for ten days at the seventh level, you will definitely break through to the third level of the Seal within half a year!
Lin Dong was slightly speechless as he stared at the smiling expression on grandmaster Yan's face. It turned out that he still had to rely on himself, although he had never known about the Symbol Master Tower before, he could imagine the difficulty in climbing the tower. At that moment, who knew if he really had the ability to reach the seventh level?
After seeing the expression on Lin Dong's face, grandmaster Yan couldn't help but reprimand: “Is this still not enough to satisfy a brat like you? Nothing in this world comes for free, if you want something, you have to fight for it yourself. Whatever level you reach will depend on yourself, I have no way to help. ”
“In addition, if you really have the ability to directly ascend to the eighth level, it is said that an elder has left a Qi level Secret Spirit Skill there. Whether you can get it will depend on your destiny. ”
"Qi class Secret Spirit Skills ?!"
After hearing this, flames quickly lit up in Lin Dong's eyes. During this period of time, he had gone to the Thousand Gold Association many times, yet the Secret Spirit Skills he had discovered were all only at the Essence level. As for the Qi level Secret Spirit Skill, he had not even seen the slightest indication. From this, one could tell just how rare a Qi level Secret Spirit Skill was.
"Little one, I've already told you about all the benefits, if you're still not satisfied, then there's nothing else I can do." Grandmaster Yan stroked his beard as he said.
After hearing these words, Lin Dong also became a little embarrassed. He no longer dared to hesitate as he hurriedly nodded his head: "Everything will be as the grandmaster said."
After seeing this matter with Lin Dong finally resolved, grandmaster Yan involuntarily heaved a sigh of relief. When he recalled the things he had promised, he felt a bit of pain and resentment in his heart. This brat is a really hard master to please.
“Grandmaster, when does Tower Battle start? How strong is my opponent? ” Since he had already agreed, Lin Dong also started asking about his opponent.
“Haha, Tower Battle competition is a bit special because it is not an ordinary competition. Using another method to determine the winner, which is to go up to the tower!” Grandmaster Yan chuckled as he said.
"Well tower?" Lin Dong was stunned, immediately after, something seemed to have clicked for him: "Will the Tower Symbol Master?"
"Yes. The style of the competition as I have explained before: ascending to the Symbol Master Tower. Whoever manages to climb the highest and stay there the longest will be the last winner. ” Grandmaster Yan smiled as he said.
"Isn't that the same as the gift you promised me?" Lin Dong said in astonishment.
“It looks like so.” Grandmaster Yan began to laugh, his appearance now was extremely cunning.
As he stared at grandmaster Yan's sly smile, Lin Dong's face started twitching. After all this time, it was not a prize but actually part of an unavoidable competition.
"I got caught."
At this moment, regret was no longer possible, thus, Lin Dong could only answer briefly.
“Previous, which level did the competitors from Sky Fire City reach?”
"Sixth level, and the competitors managed to stay there for eight days." Grandmaster Yan softly sighed: “I heard that some young Symbol Master geniuses have appeared in Sky Fire City. If my prediction is correct, their results this time will be better than last year.”
Lin Dong nodded, Sky Fire City is indeed the number two city in Tiandu province. The potential talent they harnessed was better than that of Yan City.
“Therefore, this time, if you want to achieve victory, you must work hard and rise to the seventh level of Symbol Master Tower.” Grandmaster Yan put a serious expression on his face as he spoke.
"Yan City is huge, there should be other young and reliable Symbol Masters in the Symbol Master Guild right?" Lin Dong knitted his brows. Could it be that they had placed all their hopes just on him?
"Haha, my Symbol Master Guild naturally has some talented individuals." Grandmaster Yan slightly chuckled. Immediately after, she clapped her hands lightly and as her claps echoed, the bamboo door was gently pushed open as an elegant figure walked in.
Lin Dong turned his head to look back as a stunned look flashed across his eyes.
The figure of the girl was tall and slender, wearing a purple dress, her skin was like snow while her eyebrows were smooth and beautiful. Oval faces, small cherry red mouths, and delicate features all come together to create a very beautiful woman. However, that cold yet beautiful face clearly told others that no one should approach.
"Teacher."
The purple-clothed girl walked into the bamboo room as she bowed towards grandmaster Yan. His voice was clear but cold.
Ever since entering and greeting her teacher, the purple-clothed girl had not looked at Lin Dong at all. However, Lin Dong did not feel that this was unexpected. Although this girl was indeed beautiful, she was obviously an unreasonable ice queen, if she greeted her kindly, it would feel wrong.
“He is the most outstanding among the children of my Symbol Master Guild, Zi Yue. Currently, he is the second Seal Symbol Master.” Grandmaster Yan smiled as he said.
After hearing these words, Lin Dong was also somewhat amazed. He did not anticipate that this ice-cold beauty was actually the second seal Symbol Master. It seems that his Mental Energy talent is rather good.
“Zi Yue, my young friend Lin Dong is also considered one of the Symbol Masters of Yanku City. This time, I had invited him here for the matter of Battle Tower, and also as a kind of insurance. ” Grandmaster Yan stared at the ice-cold beauty called Zi Yue as she spoke softly.
After hearing grandmaster Yan's words, Zi Yue finally glanced at Lin Dong coldly before withdrawing her gaze as she said in an indifferent voice: "Teacher, this time, this time, I will make sure Sky Fire City returns with defeat."
His tone was flat and a little cold. Although he did not directly say it, Lin Dong knew that he felt this grandmaster Yan move was unnecessary…
