Aside from the main hall, the main Celestial Star Sect was divided into Nine Halls s, which were named after the nine Star Protectors who had created the Celestial Star Sect together with the founder of the sect.

Nine Halls: Jifeng Hall, Dragon Martial Hall, Wangchuan Hall, Red Searing Temple, Earth Hall, Green Stone Hall, Tianyuan Hall, Winged Tiger Hall and Li Qingniu's Lingyun Hall.

Starting from the second day of disciple selection, a group of Fighter s were allocated each day. Those that met the requirements were selected and placed in the hall, becoming official disciples of Celestial Star Sect.

Since the order of recruitment for each hall was decided by drawing lots in advance, and the time at which the participants arrived at Heavenly Star Mountain was random based on fate, one would have to take some luck in order to be able to recruit many disciples.

He heard Yun Tian say that the Lingyun Hall this year was pretty good, because last year, he had only recruited four disciples, and this year, he had nearly doubled it.

Actually, the test before the worship mountain hall was not something that was absolutely necessary for one to enter Celestial Star Sect, but was something that the Lingyun Hall had automatically added. Every single session could set its own criteria for accepting disciples. Only when one's aptitude was the one and only requirement for one's cultivation level in the entire Sect, could one decide on his or her own.

You can take them all, or set up checkpoints to filter out Fighter s that you don't want to take.

For example, no matter how many talented people there were in the Dragon Martial Hall, they would only be able to take in the top 10 every year.

However, the training intensity and difficulty of Red Searing Temple were all based on challenging the limits of the human body. Often, there would be casualties among disciples during harsh training, or they would even self-harm themselves because they could not endure it. Therefore, the number of disciples accepted by the Red Searing Temple was the largest every year, but less than half of those could successfully last until the end.

And the Sect would not pay attention to these things at all, nor interfere in the methods of training the disciples.

In every battle against the beast tide, at least half of the Fighter s that played a crucial role had all joined Celestial Star Sect.

Without the awareness of sacrifice, how could he assume the responsibility of saving the survival of mankind? This was Celestial Star Sect. Reaching this point, meant that his life had been given to Celestial Star Sect, all the way until he had left his master's service.

The Nine Halls had their own living areas and cultivation grounds. They would cultivate in each area and occasionally would even hold small competitions to compare notes with each other.

The Lingyun Hall was built on the back of the Heavenly Star Mountain and were covered by the wind and snow from all around. They were separated from the other halls by the Ice Rock Snow Valley and although there were a few small paths that led to the Grand Hall, other than the occasional situation where one had to gather at the Grand Hall, it was not open on normal days.

Along the way, Yun Tian answered everyone's questions, especially after hearing how strict Red Searing Temple were towards disciples, other than Li Qingniu, who didn't feel much about it, everyone else felt that it was fortunate.

When they passed by the training grounds, there were a dozen or so Fighter dressed in white, sitting cross-legged on the thick ice ground. They were cultivating while facing the cold wind.

The cold wind congealed around them, followed by sharp blades of ice that moved freely between their bodies like fish.

It can attack and defend, it can also be formed with many people forming a formation, causing its power to multiply. It is most suitable for people who have Water Martial Spirit to cultivate. Lin Xue'er and Muyanhao's Martial Spirit Attribute are like water, it is also one of the lessons that you need to learn in the future.

Yes.

After looking for a while, Li Qingniu said: Can't you train with the other Martial Spirit Attribute?

It was not that, but to train in a skill that was incompatible with his own Martial Spirit Attribute s was a hundred times more difficult than to train in a skill that was compatible with his own attribute. A Martial Spirit usually required the Fighter to spend his entire life to excavate, so there were very few people who would waste their time to train in the skills of other Martial Spirit Attribute.

But it doesn't seem too hard to practice.

But because they sat there and other than meditating, they did not seem to need to do anything else, so they gave off a very relaxed feeling. But before this, the shortest among them also trained hard for an entire year, only after reaching a certain level of cultivation could they be like them … You're not trying to... Yun Tian suddenly stopped his explanation and looked at Li Qingniu in shock.

At this time, Li Qingniu closed his eyes slightly and imitated the breathing frequency of the water attribute Fighter. He then emptied his body and mind, and started to carefully sense the changes in and around his body.

Gradually, the cold air gathered around Li Qingniu.

This brat's martial soul is obviously of the metal attribute, how is this possible … It was simply … It was a monster! Although he could tell that Li Qingniu was not an ordinary person when he had previously acknowledged him as his ancestor, it was only because he was shocked at the potential of the Metal-type Martial Spirit in his body.

Now, seeing that Li Qingniu had even comprehended a skill that was specialized for the water attribute so quickly, he couldn't help but have a new understanding of Li Qingniu. It was as if Li Qingniu had an limitless possibility of obtaining something from him.

However, although the cold energy around Li Qingniu grew increasingly thicker, and even Murong Lanyu had no choice but to retreat to the side, and maintain a certain distance from him, so as to not be affected by the cold energy around Li Qingniu, he was still unable to gather energy and take shape.

Hehe, Master still hasn't grasped the trick. Let me help you. Mr. Jian smiled as he injected a bit of true energy into each of the acupoints in Li Qingniu's body. He then helped Li Qingniu to readjust the direction of his energy channels, and said.

If you can gather such a strong cold energy, it will prove that you have the potential to practice water-attributed skills. Although I don't know the reason, it is enough to surprise everyone, alright? Alright, I'll take you to your living quarters first.

Yun Tian said as he reached out to pat Li Qingniu's shoulder, signalling him not to push it too far.

Just as tomorrow's hand was about to touch Li Qingniu's shoulder, a sharp cold light suddenly flashed, and a cold aura was approaching Yun Tianhe's outstretched palm.

He immediately reacted and quickly moved his hands to the side. At the same time, his feet left the ground and his figure quickly retreated, all of this happened in a split-second, and before the crowd could even react, Yun Tian had already retreated several meters away, and was already in the air.

An ice sword that was several meters long, seemed to have grown out from Li Qingniu's shoulder, and only stopped after reaching the position where Yun Tian had leaped into the air.

Everyone present was shocked, including Yun Tian, who was standing in the air. Even the Fighter s who were previously training seriously were attracted by the commotion and could not help but widen their eyes and gape in astonishment.

Who was this person? I don't think I've seen it before? Is it our hall?

I don't know, but it's amazing. I've practiced for an entire year before I could barely form a blade with my Qi. Furthermore, the longest blade was less than a foot. How did he do it?

He looked very young, and he didn't have any clothes on to go out either. He should have just been recruited today, he should already be a very strong Fighter outside.

Yun Tian was the strongest disciple last year, he could actually force him to this extent, just what level was that person at?

Everyone talked at once, but Li Qingniu still had his eyes closed, as if he was unaware of everything that was happening around him, and was completely immersed in his own consciousness.

This guy's Evil Way is so great, it's simply against common sense … Try him again. After secretly calculating in his heart, Yun Tian waved his long sleeve. Several streaks of true qi shot out like lightning and chopped the several feet long ice sword into several pieces.

The broken ice sword did not fall to the ground. Instead, it floated up into the air and surrounded Yun Tian.

He closed his eyes slightly, and after muttering some incantations, he pointed his sword downwards. Countless pieces of ice flashed with a cold light, and smashed towards Li Qingniu who was below him like a rain of arrows.

The cold energy condensed around Li Qingniu's body instantly turned into a physical entity, surrounding Li Qingniu from head to toe and forming a thick Ice Wall barrier.

Crack, crack, crack …

Countless ice arrows shattered on the hard and solid Ice Wall.

What? He could actually completely materialize the cold energy that had gathered here at the same time. How high must his cultivation base be to be able to do that? What was he?

Even Yun Tian was helpless against him. This …

Yun Tian, who was standing in the air, could not help but be inwardly surprised. Just now, he had merely wanted to test Li Qingniu's reaction, and did not use his true strength.

He originally thought that when facing such a concentrated attack, Li Qingniu could only rely on evading to avoid it, but the other party was actually able to condense all of the cold energy around his body. This far exceeded his expectations.

However, if Li Qingniu did not dodge, did not form his Qi, and instead used his body to resist the attacks, he would be at least twice as surprised as he was right now.

Just as Yun Tian was stunned, the Ice Wall that was initially frozen in defense around Li Qingniu suddenly collapsed and shattered, the shattered ice immediately congealed together, forming a slender ice dragon that spiraled upwards and wrapped around Yun Tian's legs.

Shocked by this sudden turn of events, Yun Tian quickly retracted his mind. He gathered his Qi and shattered the ice dragon that was trapping him.

Countless pieces of ice fell from the sky, splattering everywhere.

Heh, alright, I'm not going to play anymore. If I let my master injure my fellow sect members on the first day, I'm afraid it will create trouble. Did Master remember what I did?

Mr. Jian's voice sounded out in Li Qingniu's mind, and he regained control of his body.

All of Li Qingniu's actions earlier, was merely the Mr. Jian borrowing the power contained within Li Qingniu's body to unleash the power. It was not Li Qingniu's own actions.
