Aid from the War God Temple's Head Instructor

A group of people, some joyful, some angry, some sad, some disappointed, left the fortress of the Two Realms Mountain Range together.

He Yanjun, his face full of joy, asked Chen Lin for confirmation, "Chen Lin, your movement technique has reached the Entering the Hall and Reaching the Inner Chamber stage?"

"Yes, I gained some insights during the Demon Slayer Envoy assessment," Chen Lin nodded.

Upon hearing this, He Yanjun was immediately delighted, "Hahaha, our Nanqing City War God Temple finally has a true martial arts genius."

Behind Chen Lin, a group of young martial artists looked at the young man walking alongside the Rank 8 Monster Exterminator He Yanjun with envy in their eyes.

Chen Lin, however, wasn't too concerned about these things.

As someone who could cheat, achieving these small accomplishments was only natural, nothing to be proud of.

Seeing Chen Lin's composed expression, He Yanjun was even more pleased.

After the group returned to the War God Temple in a grand procession, He Yanjun directly left the others and pulled Chen Lin towards the courtyard where Lu Cheng was.

He wanted the Head Instructor to recruit young martial artists like Chen Lin, who had such high talent, more actively.

He couldn't let someone poach him due to issues with treatment.

The two walked through corridors and passed through doors, arriving at the entrance of a quiet and secluded courtyard.

"Come, follow me inside." He Yanjun tidied his collar slightly and then led Chen Lin into the small courtyard.

The courtyard was large. Besides bamboo trees as thick as a child's arm, only an open training ground in the center attracted Chen Lin's attention.

At this moment, in a stone pavilion in a corner of the training ground, Lu Cheng was talking with a few people.

Seeing the two approaching in a hurry, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"Instructor Lu, good news, great news!" He Yanjun said to Lu Cheng as he walked.

"Oh? What good news is there?" Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

He Yanjun glanced at the people beside Lu Cheng and spoke directly without reservation, "Instructor Lu, Chen Lin, who just joined the War God Temple a few days ago, has reached the Entering the Hall and Reaching the Inner Chamber stage in his movement technique."

"What? Truly?" Lu Cheng's eyes flashed with brilliance, and he asked in a deep voice.

"Truly. If you have any doubts, Instructor Lu, you can verify it yourself," He Yanjun replied with certainty.

To be honest, He Yanjun hadn't quite believed it when he first heard the news.

It wasn't until he personally verified it halfway back to Nanqing City that he finally accepted this fact.

And that's why, as soon as they returned to the War God Temple, He Yanjun eagerly dragged Chen Lin to find Lu Cheng.

"Leng Haochuan, go test his skills!" Lu Cheng instructed a young man beside him.

"Yes!"

The young man named Leng Haochuan cupped his hands and walked out of the stone pavilion.

On the training ground, the two stood facing each other.

An indescribable atmosphere began to build between them.

As time passed, Leng Haochuan lost his patience first and threw a punch towards Chen Lin's face.

It was powerful and fast as a gale.

Seeing this, Chen Lin's lips curved upwards. Leng Haochuan's fist seemed to move in slow motion in his eyes. With a slight sidestep, he easily dodged Leng Haochuan's charged attack.

Leng Haochuan was stunned at first, then his expression became serious.

His attacks on Chen Lin became faster and faster, and his angles more and more tricky.

But Chen Lin was like a slender willow in the wind. No matter how explosively Leng Haochuan swung his fists like a storm, Chen Lin was never hit.

In the stone pavilion, the surprise among the onlookers grew with each passing moment.

Seeing Leng Haochuan's gaze growing colder, his aura stronger, and his movements faster, Lu Cheng quickly said, "Alright, Leng Haochuan, come back!"

As soon as Lu Cheng finished speaking, both sides stopped. Leng Haochuan glared at Chen Lin unwillingly and turned back to stand behind Lu Cheng.

"Hoo!"

Chen Lin exhaled heavily, thinking, Thank goodness it stopped. If it had continued, I wouldn't have been able to dodge anymore. This Leng Haochuan is truly strong!

"Not bad, your movement technique has indeed reached the Entering the Hall and Reaching the Inner Chamber stage," Lu Cheng nodded with a smile.

"This year, our Nanqing City War God Temple has finally produced a martial arts genius! Congratulations, congratulations!"

"Chen Lin's talent is indeed excellent. He broke through from Late Martial Disciple to Martial Master in less than two months, and his movement technique has reached the Entering the Hall and Reaching the Inner Chamber stage at such a young age. He is truly exceptionally talented!" He Yanjun also praised.

"Hmm?"

Lu Cheng's brow twitched slightly. His gaze fell on Chen Lin, and after observing him carefully, he said with a smile, "According to the old rules of the War God Temple, since your martial arts talent is so outstanding, our Nanqing City War God Temple cannot let it go to waste."

"I'll make the decision. Next year's spot in the Genius Concentration Camp for our Nanqing City War God Temple will be yours. Additionally, you can go to the Cultivation Method Pavilion and choose any cultivation method suitable for you. As long as the total Merit Points do not exceed one hundred thousand, you can choose freely. This will be considered my personal sponsorship."

"Thank you, Head Instructor, for your great kindness!" Chen Lin cupped his hands in gratitude, his face full of surprise.

"No need for that. Chen Lin, I have high hopes for you. I hope that in the future, you will achieve great success in your cultivation, kill more demons for the human race, and expand our living space," Lu Cheng waved his hand and said with a smile.

"I will not fail your expectations, Instructor," Chen Lin promised with a serious expression.

"Good!"

Lu Cheng nodded appreciatively upon hearing this, then said with a smile, "I still have some matters to attend to here. We can chat again another day. If you're free now, why don't you follow Instructor He to the Cultivation Method Pavilion to pick out a cultivation method you like!"

"Thank you, Head Instructor!" Chen Lin said gratefully again.

"Instructor He, this is my identity jade token. Take Chen Lin with you!" Lu Cheng took off the jade token from his waist and tossed it to He Yanjun.

"Understood!" He Yanjun put away the jade token, cupped his hands in salute to Lu Cheng, and then led Chen Lin out of the courtyard.

As soon as they left the courtyard, Chen Lin couldn't help but ask, "Senior He, what are Merit Points?"

"Merit Points are the rewards you receive after completing tasks from the War God Temple's Mission Hall. These Merit Points are more valuable than gold or silver in the War God Temple. Not only can you exchange them for cultivation methods, but you can also exchange them for various precious materials, weapons, armor, and even very rare spirit beasts," He Yanjun explained patiently to Chen Lin.

"I see!" Chen Lin suddenly understood.

"Chen Lin, you've really hit the jackpot this time. Do you know how precious the ten thousand Merit Points Head Instructor Lu just granted you access to is?" He Yanjun asked enviously.

"No!"

Chen Lin honestly replied with confusion.

"Let me put it this way! If I had these Merit Points, I wouldn't sell them even if someone offered me a million taels of silver. After all, silver is easy to earn, but Merit Points are hard to come by. Do you understand what I'm saying?" He Yanjun looked at Chen Lin with a serious expression.

"Hiss~" Chen Lin couldn't help but gasp.

After He Yanjun's explanation, he finally understood how important the support Lu Cheng had given him truly was.

The two arrived at the Cultivation Method Pavilion. A white-bearded old man saw them arrive and asked with a smile, "Little He, what kind of cultivation method are you here to exchange for today?"
