Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 90 Spirit Hall Nalan Branch

Lan Tian waited in line in the lobby; there were more than a dozen people ahead of him registering. After registering, everyone was led to a room for testing rank and strength.

Upon entering the room, a huge white energy sphere stands in the center, with many pipes connected to it behind it; the purpose of these pipes is unknown.

"Place your hand on the orb of light, activate your attribute skills, and use as many as you can," the tester told Lan Tian.

“Okay,” Lan Tian said.

Lan Tian used his lightning skill to continuously channel energy from his hand into the ball of light. Instantly, the ball of light emitted white light, crackled incessantly, and trembled constantly, as if it was about to collapse, with the trembling becoming increasingly intense.

"Rumble"

Unexpectedly, Lan Tian caused the orb of light to explode, shaking the entire room violently, sending flames soaring into the sky and filling the room with smoke. Lan Tian and the tester were both stunned; their clothes were burned off, their faces were covered in soot, and their hair stood straight up on their heads.

The commotion alerted the entire Spirit Hall of Nalan City. Zhao Qingyun, the branch leader of the Spirit Hall in Nalan City, was resting at the time but was also awakened by the explosion and rushed over, not knowing what had happened!
Looking at the destroyed equipment, Zhao Qingyun was utterly bewildered. How could this be? Who was this person? This was the first time such a situation had ever occurred. He ordered everyone to disperse, concluding the test for the day, and then took Lan Tian to his office.

"What's your name? What rank and level are you now?" Zhao Qingyun asked Lan Tian.

“Blue Sky, ninth rank, ninth level,” Blue Sky said.

"That shouldn't be! This machine can detect that, right?" Zhao Qingyun was puzzled. Then he called Lan Tian to his side, grabbed Lan Tian's hand, and a powerful energy flowed into Lan Tian's body.

"Hahaha, I get it! Kid, you're not lazy!" Zhao Qingyun immediately became excited. He sensed that Lan Tian's level was already at the Venerable Realm. To reach the Venerable Realm at such a young age meant he had a bright future ahead of him. That testing machine couldn't detect the Venerable Realm; no wonder it exploded.

"Lan Tian, ​​from now on you will follow me! You will definitely achieve great things and stand out from the crowd in the future." Zhao Qingyun said to Lan Tian. Today he really hit the jackpot and gained the greatest and most promising disciple of his life.

Zhao Qingyun instructed his assistant to take Lan Tian away and settle him properly, keeping the events of the day strictly confidential. He didn't want anyone else to snatch this promising talent away. He reviewed Lan Tian's resume repeatedly; a standout from the Endless Sea, he was destined for greatness. On the Blue Card Continent, those with such cultivation at such a young age were extremely rare, even among the most powerful families.

Zhao Qingyun is currently in charge of the Nalan City branch hall; he was sent here by the Emperor. The Luo Yi Empire's royal family controls the Spirit Hall, and Zhao Qingyun was once a prominent figure in the capital's Spirit Hall, a leading contender for the position of Hall Master. However, due to offending the royal family, the Emperor sent him here, far from Luo Yi City, to live a life of seclusion.

Lan Tian was assigned to the backyard of the Spirit Hall, a secluded little courtyard with few people around. He quickly washed up, changed his clothes, and went to the main hall of the room. It seemed like no one had lived there for a long time; it was very quiet and deserted.

However, there was plenty of food here, as if it had just been replenished. Was this the residence of that palace chief? Lan Tian still didn't quite understand. He had clearly blown up the place into a mess, yet he was still receiving such treatment. What did this palace chief see in him?
After a satisfying meal, Lan Tian wandered around the room, taking in the sights. There was a dedicated cultivation room, its air thick with spiritual energy, perfect for cultivation. The hall was filled with books—various cultivation manuals, historical records, and ancient texts. Lan Tian couldn't understand some of them, unsure of their origin. Several hours later, Zhao Qingyun personally went to the backyard for a long, heart-to-heart talk with Lan Tian, ​​carefully inquiring about his cultivation level and past experiences.

Lan Tian had no defenses against Zhao Qingyun. In just one meeting, he could tell that Zhao Qingyun meant him no harm or danger, and genuinely wanted to take him as a disciple. He was interested in Lan Tian's abilities and future success.

Therefore, Lan Tian did not hide his multiple attribute skills, which surprised Zhao Qingyun. Multiple attribute skills had appeared in the Blue Card Continent before, and there were also examples of people who developed into powerful figures. However, those were only two attribute skills. It was rare to see several attribute skills as high-level and as well-balanced as Lan Tian's. He was truly an oddity.

You wouldn't know unless you talked to him, and once you did, you were shocked. Zhao Qingyun still couldn't figure out Lan Tian's true strength. He wondered what else this kid was hiding. However, he clearly had a deep affection for Lan Tian; with such cultivation and unique multi-attribute skills, he was destined to become a legend on the Blue Card Continent. His future was limitless.

"Blue Sky, you can stay here. It will be more convenient for me to exchange experiences with you in the future. You are my personal disciple, my only disciple."

Lan Tian said, "Yes, Master. I thank you for accepting me as your disciple. I will certainly not let you down." After saying that, Lan Tian bowed to Zhao Qingyun three times in a formal ceremony.

"Very well, disciple, please rise. Your master will surely help you achieve great success and surpass your master," Zhao Qingyun said to Lan Tian.

"Thank you, Master. Your disciple will never let you down."

"Okay, do you have any other requests?"

Lan Tian said, "I have two friends who came with me, and I think..."

"I know! Tell them all to come over. Your friends are my friends too. Let them train with you. You can arrange them yourself. If you need anything, just tell your assistant. You're already my disciple." Zhao Qingyun agreed to Lan Tian's requests one by one. He hoped to train this disciple well. As long as Lan Tian's requests weren't excessive, he would agree to them.

Subsequently, Zhao Qingyun gave Lan Tian a gold badge of the Spirit Hall. This was an important credential for entering and exiting the Spirit Hall, and it was also a special one, being the only one of its kind. It represented supreme power, and it was the only gold badge that the Emperor had bestowed upon Zhao Qingyun. Everyone who saw this badge treated it as if they were seeing the Emperor himself; it held the power of life and death, and no one could obey or disobey it.

The fact that Zhao Qingyun handed the badge to Lan Tian showed how much he valued the young man and demonstrated his trust in him.

"Thank you, Master!" Lan Tian excitedly accepted the badge from Zhao Qingyun, unaware of the immense power and responsibility it represented.
