Chapter 34: The Correct Answer, and Recruitment Attempts by Ning Fengzhi, Bibi Dong, and Dai Tianfeng!
The most important person in Yu Xiaogang's heart is the disciple who can help prove his martial soul theory?
Inside the livestream room, when everyone saw Lin Yu's answer, many were momentarily stunned.
That answer was valid?
From the livestream so far, that particular disciple hadn't even appeared, right?
Could it be that the livestream's questions weren't limited to the people shown in the broadcast?
That as long as the answer fit within the scope of the question, it was acceptable—regardless of whether the person had been shown?
Thinking along these lines,
Many people, including Ning Fengzhi, fell into deep thought.
If that were the case, then this answer really could be correct.
After all, everything Yu Xiaogang did in the livestream had one goal: to evolve his martial soul and prove he wasn't a failure.
And after losing hope in evolution,
He decided to prove himself through martial soul theory.
Given that, it made sense that the person most important to him would be a disciple capable of validating that theory.
But could such a person truly outweigh Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, or his own parents in Yu Xiaogang's heart?
As everyone debated the logic of Lin Yu's answer in their minds—
The livestream response finally arrived.
A line of blood-red text appeared across the screen.
At the same time, a cold voice rang in everyone's ears.
[Ding! Notice: Lin Yu's answer—The most important person in Yu Xiaogang's heart is the disciple who can help prove his martial soul theory—Correct!]
[Reward: Random cultivation technique x1—dispatched successfully!]
No way! He actually got it right?!
As the system confirmed Lin Yu's answer, countless viewers' eyes widened in shock.
Suddenly, people began to realize:
With this question included, the livestream room had now hosted four questions.
Of those four, aside from the second one which was correctly answered by Ning Fengzhi,
The other three were all answered correctly by this guy named Lin Yu!
Wasn't this guy… way too strong?!
Could it be that all the rewards from this prize-quiz livestream would end up in this kid's hands?
"This young fellow… is extraordinary!"
Over in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but exclaim.
"For the first wish-reward, he chose to know the past, present, and future events of the Douluo Continent. Though that knowledge must have limitations, it still gives him a massive edge in answering future questions!"
"That wish… was truly unexpected. Even I wouldn't have thought of that if I'd gotten the reward. But in hindsight, it's clearly the most valuable one."
"This Lin Yu fellow has a quick mind. With this rare opportunity from the livestream room, his future is bound to soar. If only he were part of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—how wonderful that would be!"
"I must find a way to recruit him. If we can bring him in, our sect will benefit immensely!"
And it wasn't just Ning Fengzhi. Many other factions also began seriously considering how to win Lin Yu over.
Because after answering three livestream questions correctly, Lin Yu had thoroughly proven his worth.
Some groups were interested in Lin Yu himself, while others were more drawn to the cultivation technique he was about to receive.
After all, spirit bones and evolved martial souls could only benefit one person.
But this top-tier meditation method—allegedly from another world—could benefit countless soul masters.
Because knowledge could be passed on!
[Ning Fengzhi (sincerely): @Lin Yu, congratulations! Would you consider joining a sect? On behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I promise we will never covet your rewards. We genuinely hope you'll join us.
To us, you are already the greatest treasure. If you agree, I am willing to accept you as my personal disciple.
You would have access to guidance from our two Titled Douluos at any time, and enjoy unlimited access to our sect's resources—spirit beast meat, precious medicinal herbs, and advanced martial soul mimicry training grounds!]
Following Lin Yu's correct answer, Ning Fengzhi immediately @mentioned him on the public screen, expressing his desire to recruit him with utmost sincerity.
[Bibi Dong (smiling calmly): Heh, @Sect Master Ning, you sure act quickly. @Lin Yu, little one, on behalf of Spirit Hall, I also welcome you.
I promise, should you join us, no one will ever try to claim your rewards.
And when it comes to cultivation resources, believe me—what we can provide far exceeds what the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can offer!]
Spirit Hall...
Back in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi's face darkened slightly upon seeing Bibi Dong join the recruitment effort.
Though he had expected this, it was still frustrating to see it happen.
[Dai Tianfeng (dismissively): Hmph! You people are all so insincere! @Lin Yu, young man, join our Star Luo Royal Family! Whatever cultivation resources they offer—we can match that.
And if you do join, I will marry one of my princesses to you. You'll become the royal consort of the Star Luo Empire and enjoy the status of honorary duke!
And just so you know—each of my princesses is a peerless beauty!]
After both Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong extended their invitations, Emperor Dai Tianfeng of the Star Luo Empire also entered the fray.
He boldly stated that the empire could offer the same resources,
And sweetened the deal by offering one of his daughters in marriage—ensuring Lin Yu would be closely tied to the royal family.
The moment Dai Tianfeng made that offer, Ning Fengzhi and Bibi Dong's faces turned even gloomier.
Because, compared to them, his proposal was clearly more enticing.
A royal princess—what young man could resist that?
…
But unfortunately for all of them, Lin Yu turned every offer down.
[Lin Yu: @Ning Fengzhi, @Bibi Dong, @Dai Tianfeng, apologies. I'm very grateful for your kind words and appreciation. But I'm someone who loves freedom and dislikes restrictions. So, I must respectfully decline your offers. I hope you understand.]
Lin Yu was indeed a bit tempted when he saw the offers.
Especially Dai Tianfeng's royal marriage proposal.
But in the end, Lin Yu didn't like entrusting his fate to anyone else.
And while Ning Fengzhi, Bibi Dong, and Dai Tianfeng had all made promises—
Promises were made to be broken. Lin Yu didn't trust them.
Even if he ever chose to join a faction, and had already made up his mind—
It would never be as the Lin Yu who had now correctly answered three questions and stood out across the continent!
As the saying goes: The tallest tree in the forest is the first to be felled.
Nothing could be more true.
