"Don't rush, let's see what his next move will be."
Lin Yi added, "I'll leave him in Lao Cao's care."
Cao Mang immediately patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll keep a close eye on him."
In terms of ability, Lin Yi trusted Zhang Baiyu the most. However, Zhang Baiyu had many tasks to complete, especially keeping an eye on Emperor Di Qingfan, so he was unable to spare the time.
The remaining core members were somewhat lacking in strength and methods.
Cao Mang was the most suitable candidate.
Even if his raw strength is inferior to Yuan Chu's four-zhang Dharma form, with his background and methods, he will definitely not suffer any losses.
This matter is settled.
Lin Yi then announced to everyone, "Three days from now, Tianwu Hall will begin its second round of admissions. There will still be one hundred places available. Please spread the word so that those who are interested can prepare."
With a bang, the atmosphere at the scene, which had just cooled down, exploded into excitement once again.
When Tianwu Hall was enrolling for the first time, there was still some hesitation from all sides. But after this incident, the value of Tianwu Hall has increased dramatically!
Anyone with a modicum of common sense can see that in the coming Lin Yi era, the Heavenly Martial Hall will be the most readily available ladder for advancement before them, without exception.
Not to mention that you can learn the Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques for free here, even those masters who are not lacking in Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques will try every means to come here for further study in order to gain a place in the New Heavenly Palace in the future.
To put it bluntly, this is Lin Yi's future stronghold.
Lin Yi was naturally aware of everyone's thoughts.
This was one of his original intentions in establishing the Tianwu Hall. From this moment on, the role of the Tianwu Hall as a key force in Tianjun truly began to emerge.
However, the undercurrents within the Tianwu Hall did not cease there.
On the contrary, the more prominent the status of Tianwu Hall, the more turmoil will follow.
Lin Yi's gaze swept over the group of students.
Right now, the person who needs his attention the most is none other than that small figure in the crowd.
Zhou Yuan, a five-year-old child prodigy.
Recently, this Dharma Emperor has not been idle.
Taking advantage of the fact that everyone's attention was diverted by Yuan Chu and the others, he absorbed almost all the Dharma Aspect Secret Techniques collected by Tianwu Hall.
However, he did not practice in the conventional way, but rather used these secret techniques to nourish his own Dharma body.
In just a few days, his Dharma form had grown from ten zhang to seven zhang!
Such a rate of progress is absolutely astonishing.
This is unprecedented in the entire Tianjun!
Zhou Yuan hid it so well that no one else could detect it.
Aside from Lin Yi, who had been silently watching over him.
Lin Yi was genuinely surprised. Zhou Yuan's method of using secret techniques to nourish his Dharma form was essentially the same as Cao Luoshen's path of entering the Dao through poetry; it was not a path that anyone could take.
The relevant talent requirements are extremely high.
Even for Lin Yi, it's not something he can learn just by wanting to.
However, Lin Yi still benefited greatly.
This person's research into the relationship between Dharma Form and Secret Arts is so profound that it is truly unprecedented in his life, giving one the feeling of opening the door to a new world. He truly deserves the title of Dharma Form Emperor.
"So far it's just been small-scale operations, this guy is quite cautious."
If anyone heard Lin Yi's evaluation, they would be shocked. His Dharma form had grown from ten zhang to seven zhang in just a few days, and this was nothing.
But in Lin Yi's eyes, that was indeed the case.
Zhou Yuan had something even more profound hidden within him, which he had never revealed. Absorbing so many secret techniques to nourish his own Dharma body was merely a test.
The fish is licking the bait, but hasn't bitten yet.
Zhang Baiyu, standing to the side, offered his analysis: "With the Tianwu Hall's current collection of secret techniques, nurturing him to a seven-zhang Dharma form is already its limit."
Lin Yi nodded: "Unless he knows when to quit while he's ahead, he'll have to show us the real deal next."
Both of them knew very well that there was absolutely no possibility of quitting while they were ahead.
If the Dharma Emperor were truly such a cowardly rat, he wouldn't have sneaked into the Heavenly Martial Hall.
as predicted.
Zhou Yuan's next move was completely different from before.
He no longer simply browsed through the archives of secret techniques, but instead began to cultivate in seclusion.
Zhou Yuan did not leave Tianwu Hall. He was well aware of his special status, and if he rashly left, it would inevitably attract a lot of attention.
He applied to Kong Qianqiu for a secret realm dedicated to secluded cultivation.
The entire process was reasonable and compliant.
Upon entering the secret realm, the first thing he did was to set up an array to isolate himself from all outside spying.
"His skill in formations is quite impressive."
Lin Yi sincerely praised it.
He was a grandmaster of formations, and his understanding of the intricacies was far deeper than that of ordinary people. With just a few simple movements from Zhou Yuan, he was certain that this person's mastery of formations was no less than his own.
If even Lin Yi couldn't break the formation, then it would be even more impossible for anyone else in Tianjun.
If it weren't for this reliance, Zhou Yuan wouldn't be so confident.
Once the shielding array was set up, all divine senses from the outside world could see right through him.
If he wanted, he could not only make the other party unable to see anything, but he could even reverse the deception and give a flawless illusion.
Unfortunately, he never expected that Lin Yi possessed a cheat-like detection method.
World will.
With everything prepared and confirmed to be foolproof, Zhou Yuan finally began the next step.
With every gesture, he effortlessly displays one secret technique after another.
For a student as strong as Li Yu, a month of arduous practice might not be enough to truly grasp advanced secret techniques, but for him, they were as easy as eating and drinking.
In the blink of an eye, the Tianwu Hall had already gone through all 173 Dharma Image Secret Techniques they had collected.
"Brilliant."
Lin Yi was amazed.
With his abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for him to learn these secret techniques.
However, a conservative estimate is that it will take at least six months.
As it turned out, they mastered it all in less than half a month, and even became proficient in it. You have to admire them.
After performing all of them once, Zhou Yuan did not stop there, but started from the beginning again to practice all the secret techniques.
Lin Yi was initially confused.
After watching it three times in a row, I finally started to understand some of its features.
"changed?"
Zhang Baiyu, who was standing nearby, had already realized what was happening: "He's improving these secret techniques?"
Lin Yi shook his head: "It doesn't seem like it."
The secret techniques of Dharma Image can naturally be improved. Many of the secret techniques that entered the Heavenly Martial Hall were improved by him personally, such as the Three Forms of Ephemeral Flower.
What he could do, Zhou Yuan could do even more easily.
With each rehearsal, Zhou Yuan's secret technique became slightly different from the original, a difference so subtle that even ordinary experts would find it difficult to detect.
But Lin Yi and Zhang Baiyu are exceptions.
Zhang Baiyu pondered for a moment: "It's not an improvement, it's a fusion?"
"To fuse 173 different Dharma Aspects into a single technique—should I call him mad, or lunatic?" (End of Chapter)
