With Feet Upon Sun and Moon, I Steady Heaven and Earth; With Hands Holding Sun and Moon, I Pluck the Stars!

Lao Yao was a straightforward man. In the past, he had not merely muddled through in the Martial Soul Hall.

Now that Lao Yao had proposed taking him as a disciple, he was also worried that Lin would be too young and foolish.

Lin felt warmth in his heart. "Master, rest assured. No matter how many masters I may have in the future, you will always be the first in my heart."

Lin spoke with great sincerity. Lao Yao had truly treated him well, and Lin now trusted him completely.

Lao Yao smiled faintly. The kid had a conscience after all.

"I'm not some narrow-minded person, kid. Igor and the others are still waiting for you."

Lao Yao said with a smile.

Lin nodded slightly. He knew.

Following the old man up the mountain, they soon arrived before a grand hall.

"Lin, wait here. I'll go inform the sect."

The old man left, leaving Lin alone in the hall.

Lin looked around. There was nothing particularly special about the place; it was no different from an ordinary main hall. This was the council hall of the Haotian Sect.

"Who are you?"

"This hall is not somewhere an outer disciple can enter."

A male voice rang out behind Lin. Lin turned around calmly and began sizing the man up.

The man did not look very old, but he was still much older than Lin.

He wore an arrogant expression, though his manner of speech did not carry much arrogance.

"Lin, you are?"

Lin spoke politely, but for a moment, he could not recall who this person was.

The most formidable person in the Haotian Sect was Long Ao Tian. Could this man be Long Ao Tian?

Lin guessed inwardly, but he was not certain.

After all, there were quite a few members of the younger generation in the Haotian Sect. Just because Long Ao Tian was the strongest did not mean everyone else was weak.

Lin carefully examined him. He seemed rather young, yet he gave off the feeling of being a superior.

"Long Ao Tian?!"

Long Ao Tian's brows furrowed slightly, a trace of suspicion flashing through his eyes. Someone in the Haotian Sect actually recognized him?

As soon as the words fell, a smile appeared in Lin's eyes. Long Ao Tian—the chief heir of Poison Unkillable, and also the strongest among the Haotian Sect's younger generation.

Unfortunately, he would ultimately die at Tang San's hands.

Now that he had come, Long Ao Tian's fate would have to change.

In the entire continent, the one that could least afford to fall was the Haotian Sect. That was no empty claim.

Lin remembered that during the second Soul Master Tournament in the original story, Long Ao Tian was a Soul Sage at the age of twenty, while Huo Yuhao, who took part in that tournament, was seventeen. (P.S.: In the original Qidian version, Chapter 402 stated that Long Ao Tian was twenty during that tournament.)

In other words, Long Ao Tian was three years older than Huo Yuhao, making him around six years older than Lin.

Long Ao Tian's current strength was around Soul Ancestor, nearing Soul King. His foundation was extremely solid, and his second soul ring was purple. (P.S.: Long Ao Tian's soul-ring configuration at that time was: yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black. This was in Chapter 400 of the original novel!)

Before Lin could speak, a hearty voice boomed from outside.

"Where is he? Where is that kid with the Haotian martial soul?"

"Hahaha!"

The voice was loud and powerful, full of vigor.

The man arrived after his voice. It was Poison Unkillable, followed by several elders of the Haotian Sect.

Upon hearing the words "Haotian," Long Ao Tian's gaze involuntarily fell on Lin. That kid's martial soul was the same as the sect master's?

At that moment, Long Ao Tian found Lin interesting. So he had come to join the Haotian Sect—no wonder he recognized him.

Lin looked toward the newcomer. The dignified bearing on him was unmistakably Poison Unkillable's.

"Sect Master, this is Lin. His martial soul is Haotian."

The old man briefly introduced Lin to Poison Unkillable.

Poison Unkillable looked Lin over and said heartily, "Good kid, your talent is extraordinary."

"Can you release your martial soul and let me have a look?"

Poison Unkillable stared at him, his heart filled with excitement.

Lin nodded. The next moment, dark purple light radiated from his body, and his martial soul appeared.

"Hahaha! Good, good, good!"

"It truly is the Haotian martial soul. Good kid, good kid!"

Poison Unkillable was so excited that he did not know what to say. His eyes were full of approval for Lin, and he could not wait to accept him as a disciple.

But as the sect master, he still hesitated for a moment.

Long Ao Tian watched the entire exchange without the slightest jealousy.

Poison Unkillable smiled, then looked toward the several elders behind him. The elders nodded in agreement, clearly approving of Lin as well.

Immediately afterward, Poison Unkillable's gaze fell on Lin. He looked at him earnestly. "Kid, my name is Poison Unkillable. My martial soul is the same as yours, and I am the sect master of the Haotian Sect."

"Would you be willing to take me as your master?"

Poison Unkillable had shown Lin enough respect. He clearly valued Lin greatly. Poison Unkillable was confident that with his guidance, Lin would definitely become the next leader of the Haotian Sect.

Perhaps he could even bring the Haotian Sect to another height.

Back then, Poison Unkillable had thought highly of Huo Yuhao. Otherwise, he would not have gone to Shi Luo Ke to ask for him.

Unfortunately, Huo Yuhao did not appreciate Poison Unkillable's goodwill.

Lin looked at Poison Unkillable without any excitement. Everything was proceeding according to his plan.

"Sect Master, before I become your disciple, there is something I need to tell you."

Lin did not immediately acknowledge him as master. Instead, he looked seriously at Poison Unkillable.

Poison Unkillable froze. Could this kid have been forced? Those bastards—so long as he was here, there was no one in the world he, Poison Unkillable, could not protect.

"Kid, speak."

Poison Unkillable did not rush to give an answer.

"Sect Master, I already have two masters. I don't know whether you would mind."

After speaking, Lin released his soul rings. One purple and one black—two soul rings beyond their normal age limits.

The smile on Poison Unkillable's face did not stop. Those soul rings, those soul rings—hahaha!

He could no longer find words to describe how he felt. Such a genius was offering himself up to become his disciple. How could he not be thrilled?

But though he was delighted, he was no fool. Before arriving, he had already sent people to investigate Lin's background.

"Kid, that isn't a problem. Since you can have two masters, what harm is there in having one more?"

"I just wonder how strong those two masters of yours are?"

Poison Unkillable was extremely confident. He was now a Rank 98 Titled Douluo. Aside from old monsters like Mi En, he was confident that no one could rival him.

He also wanted to see what sort of masters could teach someone like Lin.

"Sect Master, my two masters instructed me not to reveal their circumstances, but they did tell me to pass along a few words."

Lin cleared his throat. He did not want to deceive Poison Unkillable, nor did he want Lao Yao and Igor to remain hidden behind the scenes. Though they could not show themselves, they could still make their voices heard.

In any case, no one would know.

"Hahaha, speak, speak." Poison Unkillable became interested.

"My first master: With feet upon sun and moon, I steady heaven and earth; above and below, I alone am supreme!"

"My second master: With hands holding sun and moon, I pluck the stars; in this world, there is no one like me!"

Lin's voice was calm, but to Poison Unkillable and the others, it sounded like a thunderclap. Such bold and arrogant words were the first they had ever heard.

Lin's words also entered the ring, where Lao Yao, Igor, and the Ice Emperor heard every word clearly.

The Ice Emperor stared blankly at Lao Yao and Igor, then burst out laughing. "Hehe, old men, so you're this good at showing off too."
