They possessed supreme talent, strength, power, and status.
The trio of Hu Liena, who were so arrogant in front of Lin Yu back then, were now just as docile and timid.
In fact, they didn't even dare to look Lin Yu in the eye anymore, standing obediently in the team without daring to utter a sound.
Lin Yu addressed the core disciples gathered before him, saying, "Is everyone present? I am now going to announce something."
"I, Lin Yu, will serve as the team leader for our Spirit Hall Team in this Spirit Master Competition, assisting and guiding the team members in their cultivation and training."
"And I will also serve as captain, leading everyone to win the championship in this competition!"
"I believe you are all well aware of the rules and other matters concerning the Spirit Master Competition, which is held every five years, so I won't go into too much detail."
"There are still nine months until the start of the competition, and the main members, substitute members, and other team personnel of our Spirit Hall Team have not yet been determined. Therefore, what I need to do now is to first select 50 reserve members from among you hundreds."
"And the only criterion for me to select core disciples capable of representing our Spirit Hall Team is: the capable shall advance!"
"Now, all core disciples under the age of 25 with spirit power above level 40, step forward!"
Lin Yu was straightforward and to the point.
After his words fell, Dugu Yan, Zhu Zhuqing, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, Yan, and more than thirty other core disciples with spirit power above level 40 stepped forward.
This is the strength and terror of Spirit Hall, possessing a vast number of talented young Spirit Master reserves.
One must know that in this World, being able to cultivate spirit power to above level 40 before the age of 25 is considered a genius.
In every Spirit Master Competition, apart from strong teams from royal academies like Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire.
Even top-tier strong academies like the Five Elemental Academies find it difficult for all their participating members to be Spirit Ancestors.
For a strong team, having three, four, or five Spirit Ancestors among their main team members is already the absolute peak.
Most ordinary academy teams participating in the Spirit Master Competition don't even have Spirit Ancestor-level students, while Spirit Hall has a full thirty-four disciples above the Spirit Ancestor level.
They could easily form three teams entirely composed of Spirit Ancestors.
If Spirit Hall had a first team, second team, and third team, even the third team could easily crush most participating teams and contend for a spot in the top thirty-two of the competition.
This is the foundation and power of Spirit Hall.
"Now, all core disciples with spirit power above level 35, step forward!"
This time, over a hundred people stepped forward, and Oscar was also among those above level 35.
"Combat-type Spirit Masters will be selected for reserve team spots through sparring matches. Auxiliary and control-type Spirit Masters, now one by one, release your Spirit and Spirit Abilities for me to see," Lin Yu said.
"Yes!"
After a careful selection process, Lin Yu finally determined the remaining 16 reserve members, and Oscar was successfully chosen.
The 50 reserve personnel assembled.
"Alright, you fifty reserve members stay, everyone else can leave."
After a short while.
Only the fifty reserve members and Lin Yu remained on site.
Lin Yu spoke again, "A Spirit Master Competition team only has 12 members, seven main members, and five substitute members. Young Master Qian Renxue and I will serve as the team captain and vice-captain, already occupying two participation slots."
"Therefore, among you fifty, only 10 can represent our Spirit Hall in this Spirit Master Competition."
"In other words, your selection ratio is one-fifth."
"Now, you just need to cultivate with all your might. The official roster of participating team members will be determined in three months."
"Yes! Hall Master Lin Yu!"
Everyone dispersed and began cultivating frantically, because each and every one of them wanted to be chosen to represent Spirit Hall in the competition.
Lin Yu then found Oscar.
Oscar said with a cheerful smile, "Disciple Oscar greets Hall Master Lin Yu."
Lin Yu said, "I heard that for over a year, you have frequently assisted in the work of the Hall of Judgment and have made considerable achievements and contributions there?"
Oscar scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "Uh-huh, Hall Master Lin Yu already knows! I just helped out a little, it's nothing worth mentioning, nothing worth mentioning."
When Oscar was recruited into Spirit Hall by Lin Yu at the Five Elemental Academies exchange meeting on Sakura Mountain, he had already stated that he wanted to join the Hall of Judgment in the future.
Therefore, after becoming a core disciple of Spirit Hall, he often went on missions with Hall of Judgment personnel, primarily for experience, resolving troubles, chasing criminals, and eliminating evil Spirit Masters.
With his excellent auxiliary abilities from his SausageSpirit, he provided great help to the Hall of Judgment team members, and had already accumulated numerous achievements even before officially joining the Hall of Judgment.
Oscar's talent is excellent, and in the future, he will even gain the favor of the Secondary GodFood God. If he can truly serve Spirit Hall loyally, Lin Yu would naturally be very willing to invest top-tier resources to cultivate him.
This way, another Divinity would appear in Spirit Hall.
And Oscar's various performances since joining Spirit Hall had quite satisfied Lin Yu.
"Hehe, you're quite modest."
Lin Yu smiled, then directly took out an Immortal Herb and said to Oscar, "Oscar, do you know what this is?"
Oscar looked at the flower, which shimmered with strange light and energy, with a confused expression, but he could feel it was not a simple item, and asked curiously, "I don't know! Hall Master Lin Yu, what's so special about this orchid?"
Lin Yu explained, "This orchid is called the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid. It is an Immortal Herb of extremely rare quality, seen only once in ten thousand years. It has the effects of strengthening the foundation, cleansing the marrow, greatly increasing spirit power, and can also help food systemSpirit Masters solve the problem of slow cultivation."
"What! It has such miraculous effects!" Oscar was very surprised and instantly felt a strong desire to obtain it.
"Yes, Oscar, if you can remain firmly loyal to Spirit Hall, loyal to the Hall of Judgment, and loyal to me, then this Immortal Herb, the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, is yours from now on."
"If you consume it, trust me, your future will be at least at the Titled Douluo level."
"I… I can also become a Titled Douluo…!"
Oscar took a deep breath upon hearing this. He understood that Lin Yu was asking him to pledge his unwavering loyalty now, and that last sentence, that his future would be at least a Titled Douluo, made his heart pound.
He was silent for a moment, then finally made a decision: "I, Oscar, am willing to follow Hall Master Lin Yu for life!"
"Very good, take it."
Lin Yu nodded.
Oscar excitedly and eagerly took the Immortal Herb, then began to absorb it according to Lin Yu's instructions.
After consuming the Immortal Herb, Oscar's spirit power surged directly from level 36 to the peak of level 40.
"Level 40! My spirit power actually broke through directly to level 40! This is amazing!!"
