In front of Ye Xinfang and Sun Wuye, Mu Rong Daoist stood elegantly, and the sound of celestial music echoed, "This Chief is one who cherishes talents. If you two become my direct disciples, your future will naturally be limitless."
Ye Xinfang and Sun Wuye exchanged glances, both feeling the weight of the moment. The allure of becoming a direct disciple of such a prominent figure was tempting.
"Master Mu Rong, may I ask what the requirements are to become your disciple?" Ye Xinfang asked, her voice steady despite the excitement bubbling within her.
Mu Rong Daoist smiled, "The requirements are simple. You must demonstrate your potential and commitment. Show me that you possess supreme talent and dedication to the path of cultivation."
Sun Wuye nodded, "I am willing to accept any challenge to prove myself."
"Good! Then let us proceed to the Battle Rankings Platform." Mu Rong Daoist gestured for them to follow.
As they arrived at the platform, the atmosphere shifted. Cultivators from various sects gathered, their eyes filled with anticipation. Everyone wanted to witness the clash of talents and strength.
The platform was set up with multiple arenas, each designed for different forms of competition, be it combat, technique, or even tests of willpower.
"Today, you will face the tests of the Hidden Dragon Rankings. Those who excel will earn a place beside me," Mu Rong Daoist declared, his voice commanding attention.
Ye Xinfang felt a spark of determination. She had worked tirelessly to hone her skills, and this was her chance to shine. Meanwhile, Sun Wuye felt a surge of confidence, ready to show what he was capable of.
The first arena lit up as the two competitors stepped forward. Ye Xinfang faced a talented opponent from another sect, known for his cunning techniques. The crowd buzzed with excitement as they awaited the clash.
With a swift motion, the battle began. Ye Xinfang utilized her training, her movements fluid and precise. She executed her techniques with grace, countering her opponent's attacks with skill.
The crowd erupted in cheers as she gained the upper hand. The energy around the arena intensified, and the spectators were enthralled by the display of talent.
Sun Wuye watched intently, feeling inspired by Ye Xinfang's performance. Soon, it was his turn to step onto the platform.
Facing a seasoned fighter, he steadied his breath and focused. The match commenced, and he unleashed his techniques, showcasing his own unique style. The audience gasped at his agility and strength, the fight becoming a fierce contest of wills.
As both competitors fought valiantly, Mu Rong Daoist observed closely, gauging their abilities. He knew that the future of these two talents could lead to great things.
After a series of intense battles, Ye Xinfang and Sun Wuye both emerged victorious, proving their worth and potential. The crowd cheered, and Mu Rong Daoist nodded in approval.
"You have both shown remarkable talent today. I believe you are worthy of becoming my direct disciples," he said, a hint of pride in his voice.
With that declaration, Ye Xinfang and Sun Wuye exchanged excited glances, their hearts pounding with the promise of a bright future ahead as they stepped into the next chapter of their cultivation journey.
"You can start as artifact apprentices. Above artifact apprentices are refiners, grand artisans, master artifact masters, holy artifact masters, divine artifact masters, and celestial artifact masters."
"Whatever refining realm you can reach in the future will determine what kind of magic treasures you can forge."
"Furthermore, my Artifact Lineage is not lacking in the five soul techniques suitable for your cultivation. This Chief hopes you are wise enough to understand."
"By joining under me as my direct disciples, you can not only cultivate the five soul techniques but also have the hope of becoming a master of artifacts in the spotlight. With your qualifications, I believe that whether it is the path of cultivation or the path of artifact refining, your future is boundless."
