"Ah, the system really knows how to please me. This is exactly what I wanted!" Seeing the mountain of good things in the virtual space, Lin Feng was immensely satisfied.
People always received the occasional unpredictable surprise.
He cast a casual glance at Ye Jingyun, feeling somewhat moved.
This guy was built like a hulking black iron tower. His innate bones and talent were both utterly ordinary, without a single redeeming feature.
But Heaven was like that—when it closed a window, it opened a door. The man simply had good fortune.
Even if someone like Ye Jingyun had failed to enter the Divine Sword Sect today, he would still have encountered his own great opportunity. Through painstaking effort, he would one day rise to fame with a single brilliant feat.
Lin Feng nodded slightly, his expression turning solemn. "Ye Jingyun, since you have entered my Divine Sword Sect, this Sect Master shall grant you a great fortune."
As he spoke, he swept his sleeve and flicked a finger. A streak of golden light instantly enveloped Ye Jingyun and visibly sank into his body.
Boom!
An incomparably profound and violent aura abruptly erupted from Ye Jingyun's body, sending a fierce gale sweeping outward.
At the same time, clusters of five-colored auspicious clouds appeared out of thin air, circling Ye Jingyun.
At first glance, he seemed like a War God descending into the world.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingyun felt a violent energy flooding into his body like a burst dam, charging through his limbs and bones with crushing force.
His meridians were forcibly stretched open, his cells ruthlessly burst apart, and his bones were ravaged slash by slash...
The boundless agony darkened his vision.
His body trembled uncontrollably, veins bulged across his skin, and cold sweat poured down like rain...
The aura radiating from him grew increasingly powerful!
Half an hour later, that process of pain worse than death finally ended.
Ye Jingyun let out a long breath, and a sharp gleam flashed in his eyes as they opened and closed.
At that moment, he could clearly feel the tremendous changes within himself.
His innate bones, bloodline, physique, and talent had all reached a terrifying level.
With a mere wave of the Sect Master's hand, a piece of trash had been turned into a genius. This was truly an immortal-like method!
One could imagine just how terrifying the Sect Master was!
And how fortunate was he to be able to enter the Divine Sword Sect!
Ye Jingyun had never dreamed that this day would come. Beyond his shock and joy, he felt even more gratitude toward Lin Feng, because he knew that Lin Feng had bestowed all of this upon him.
Without Lin Feng, he would have remained worthless trash looked down upon by every sect!
Thud!
Without hesitation, he knelt before Lin Feng and bowed deeply with utmost devotion. "Thank you, Sect Master, for your heavenly grace! This disciple swears to Heaven that from this moment onward, wherever the Sect Master commands, I shall not dare disobey. Should I violate this oath, may Heaven and Earth jointly destroy me!"
Though his words were rather clichéd, Lin Feng could feel the sincerity in them, as well as Ye Jingyun's shock and excitement.
At the same time, Lin Feng could see Ye Jingyun's thoughts. Ye Jingyun had clearly already regarded him as an unparalleled, peerless expert.
Just imagine it: if members of other sects saw Lin Feng turn an ordinary person into a peerless prodigy with a flip of his hand, they would probably be dumbstruck on the spot.
Innate bones, bloodlines, and physiques could still be changed after birth through Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, but talent was ordained by Heaven and could not be altered!
Yet an ordinary person before their very eyes had been forcibly transformed. If that was not a fool's dream, what was?
Moreover, if this news were ever leaked, countless super sects would surely come flocking like ducks.
The entire cultivation world would be stirred into towering waves!
Of course, Ye Jingyun's ability to ascend to the heavens in a single step was entirely due to the Hegemon Body disciple template.
"The system truly is the system. Everything it produces is top-quality." Lin Feng nodded to himself.
Then, a glint flashed through his eyes and vanished. The Heavenly Secrets Art activated instantly, and Ye Jingyun's condition became clear at a glance.
"Oh? His loyalty has risen to ninety-five percent. Not bad, not bad."
"This bargain disciple was already blessed with fortune, and now he possesses the Hegemon Body as well. Tsk, tsk. A trash-underling rise paired with his current talent... this is truly something to look forward to..."
After thinking for a moment, Lin Feng flicked his fingers repeatedly. "Since I am in a good mood today, I shall bestow upon you two more top-tier cultivation arts. One is a God-Tier Body Refining cultivation art, and the other is a God-Tier fist martial skill. They were tailored specifically for you. You must not pass them on to others, and you must not grow lazy."
As soon as his words fell, two streaks of golden light entered Ye Jingyun's glabella.
Ye Jingyun's entire body trembled uncontrollably!
In that instant, an enormous amount of unfamiliar information exploded within his mind.
That unfamiliar information contained the profound meanings of "God-Tier Body Refining" and "Savage God Fist."
With only a sweep of his thoughts, he could sense the formidable and domineering power of those two cultivation arts.
Yet when he instinctively tried to recite or write them down, he found that he could not do so no matter what, as though some invisible, intangible, mysterious force was blocking him.
Amid his shock, the first thing he thought of was that this must be another of the Sect Master's divine methods.
The Sect Master was indeed the Sect Master, truly possessing unfathomable power that could confound gods and ghosts.
Lin Feng smiled faintly. Anything produced by the system was bound to be top-quality!
He had no intention of allowing such exquisite cultivation arts to fall into the hands of other sects.
If someone used these arts against him one day, he might not fear them, but he could not afford that kind of embarrassment.
Therefore, with this method in place, even if a sect disciple were captured, no one would be able to pry the cultivation arts out of him.
"This disciple kowtows in thanks for the Sect Master's immense grace!"
"The Sect Master bestowed the Hegemon Body upon this disciple and rewarded him with supreme cultivation arts, allowing this disciple to break from his cocoon and become a butterfly. Your grace is no different from that of reborn parents!"
"This disciple has no way to repay you. In this life, I shall certainly study diligently and never fail the Sect Master's nurturing. I swear to defend the sect's interests unto death and spill my last drop of blood for the Sect Master!"
With tears in his eyes, Ye Jingyun stared at Lin Feng, his entire body trembling faintly without cease.
At that very moment, Ye Jingyun's loyalty directly soared to one hundred percent.
Lin Feng nodded slightly. "Within the sect are Living Quarters and cultivation grounds specially provided for Handyman Disciples. Find them and settle down first."
"This Sect Master hopes you will devote yourself to cultivation and strive to advance to an outer disciple as soon as possible."
"When that time comes, a surprise will be waiting for you."
After saying that, Lin Feng's figure gradually faded. A breeze passed, and he vanished without a trace.
Meanwhile, Ye Jingyun gazed toward the Divine Sword Sect's main peak and kowtowed nine times in succession.
Only when his knees had gone numb did he rise and head off to find the Living Quarters.
Divine Sword Sect, Heaven-Defying Peak, the Sect Master's cultivation chamber.
After seeing Ye Jingyun's performance, a faint smile appeared on Lin Feng's face.
As one following the trash-to-prodigy path, Ye Jingyun was already blessed with fortune. That he could also be so deeply emotional, honest, and simple-hearted was truly rare. He would surely shine brilliantly on the path of martial cultivation.
A moment later, Lin Feng cleared away his distracting thoughts and opened the system's virtual space. "Now that the sect has accepted a disciple, it is time for this God-Tier Spiritual Vein to be put to use."
With a thought, he directly issued the system a command: "Activate the God-Tier Spiritual Vein!"
The instant his words fell.
Rumble—
A thunderous roar came from underground.
In that instant, the earth shook and the mountains swayed, fierce winds suddenly rose, and the entire Divine Sword Sect was blanketed by dark clouds in the blink of an eye.
Underground, however, it seemed as though mountains and seas were being shifted, the rumbling unending.
The next second, a heavenly phenomenon appeared. Ten thousand rays of rosy light bloomed, and phantoms of the Sacred Beasts of the four directions arrived together.
At that same instant, a silvery stream like the Milky Way poured down from the nine heavens, even more magnificent than a waterfall plunging three thousand feet, seeming as though the Milky Way had fallen from the sky.
Incomparably dense spiritual energy spread throughout the entire Divine Sword Sect at that moment.
The closer one drew to the main peak, the denser the spiritual energy became. As for Heaven-Defying Peak, its spiritual energy concentration had nearly liquefied.
Just then, the Golden Dragon of fortune hidden within Heaven-Defying Peak sensed the change in spiritual energy and let out a contented low murmur.
From this point onward.
Throughout the Divine Sword Sect, all things revived, and spiritual intelligence awakened.
