"Haha," Lin Yu said with a smile.
He faced the surging ocean waves of Vast Sea power before him.
He easily endured the Vast Sea power within the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, and before long, he gained its recognition and obtained the heart of the ocean.
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud entered the space between Lin Yu's eyebrows.
He slowly opened his eyes, his consciousness restored.
At the same time.
Outside the house where Lin Yu was located, a faint illusion of Poseidon emerged.
Seeing that someone could withstand the Vast Sea power, Poseidon was very pleased, as he had finally found an heir.
However, sensing the divine force of the Seven Elemental Gods within Lin Yu, Poseidon's face showed helplessness and nostalgia: "Alas, after so many years, I finally found someone who can withstand the Vast Sea power, but this young man is actually the inheritor of the Seven Elemental Gods?"
"This child is truly sought after! If I cultivate him to inherit my Sea God Position, the competition would be too great!"
"Moreover, the Seven Elemental Gods are very united; if I interfere, I'd have almost no chance!"
Poseidon looked regretful; he was very satisfied with Lin Yu.
But he also knew that he would most likely not be able to compete with the Seven Elemental Gods, yet giving up felt truly regrettable.
Poseidon hesitated for a moment, then proactively transmitted his voice to Lin Yu: "Young man, are you willing to inherit my Sea God Position?"
"Sea God?" Lin Yu was slightly stunned.
He immediately released his mental force and sensed the illusion of Poseidon: "You are Poseidon, aren't you?"
"I apologize, Lord Sea God! I am already the inheritor of the Seven Elemental Gods, so I'm afraid I cannot accept your Sea God Position."
Lin Yu knew that inheriting the Seven Elemental Gods was already his limit, and it was impossible to add another Sea God Position.
So, there was no need to hesitate; he simply refused.
Upon hearing this, Poseidon sighed: "Alas, if that is the case, I hope you will leave my heart of the ocean for someone destined to receive it. This is, after all, the token for inheriting my Sea God Position. Without this heart of the ocean, it will be difficult for me to pass on my God Position."
Only by controlling the heart of the ocean could one pull out Poseidon's exclusive divine tool, the Sea God Trident.
If one could not pull out the Sea God Trident, it would be difficult to successfully complete the Sea God's trials and thus inherit the Sea God Position, so this item was quite crucial to Poseidon.
Since Lin Yu had no intention of inheriting the Sea God Position, he naturally wouldn't keep it for himself. He politely replied: "Since Lord Sea God has said so, then this junior will naturally return the heart of the ocean, but this item still has some use for this junior."
"How about letting this junior borrow it for a while, and then I will hand it over to someone destined for it."
The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud had four skills that were very useful in the early stages. Lin Yu wanted to use this heart of the ocean to fight Bone Douluo and Yu Zhenyuan.
"No matter, as long as you leave my heart of the ocean in the mortal world before you cultivate to become a God and ascend to the God Realm, that will suffice."
Poseidon left one last sentence, then gradually faded away.
"Sea God Position, haha, Poseidon, then let me find an inheritor for you." Lin Yu mused inwardly.
Since Lin Yu did not want this Sea God Position, he would try his best to keep this God Position within Spirit Hall. He would control the heart of the ocean and, in doing so, search for an inheritor of the Sea God Position among the talented juniors of Spirit Hall.
And in Lin Yu's mind, there was indeed a suitable candidate for the Sea God Position, but he didn't know if she could withstand the Vast Sea power within the heart of the ocean.
A moment later, Lin Shuai pushed the door open again and reported: "Young Clan Leader, the geniuses from the Element Academies have arrived and are waiting in the Hall of Judgment."
"Oh? That fast? Let's go! We'll go to the Hall of Judgment."
Lin Yu immediately left the Angel Clan Territory and headed to the Hall of Judgment. Soon, he saw Feng Xiaotian, Shui Bing'er, Huo Wu, Huo Wushuang, and more than a dozen other geniuses from the three Element Academies in the Hall of Judgment's main hall.
But Lin Yu was surprised to find that Gu Yuena was also among them!
"Why is she here too? What exactly does Gu Yuena want to do? What is her purpose?" Lin Yu couldn't help but ponder.
Lin Yu had previously expressed his intention to recruit the students from Tianshui, Shenfeng, and Blazing Fire Element Academies, telling them to join the Hall of Judgment after graduation.
He also promised to cultivate Shui Bing'er and Feng Xiaotian into Titled Douluo within ten years.
Therefore, this group of Element Academy geniuses came to join the Hall of Judgment, and since Gu Yuena also came here, she, too, undoubtedly wanted to join the Hall of Judgment.
This was something Lin Yu couldn't fathom.
Why would she, the esteemed Silver Dragon King Gu Yuena, not stay in the Star Dou Great Forest to continue sleeping and recovering from her injuries, but instead come to join Spirit Hall?
What could Spirit Hall have that she desired?
Lin Yu had to take Gu Yuena's intentions seriously. He collected his thoughts and came before everyone with a smile: "Everyone, it's been a while since we last met!"
"Greetings, Hall Master Lin Yu!"
Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, and the others respectfully cupped their hands.
"No need to be so polite. Have you all graduated from the Element Academies?" Lin Yu asked.
"Yes, the Grand Competition is over, and our time in the Spirit Master Academy can be considered complete. There's no need to continue studying. It's better to enter the Spirit Master's world early and join the Hall of Judgment for further training and cultivation."
"Mhm, mhm!"
Everyone looked forward to it.
Graduating from a Spirit Master Academy was simple: reach 25 years of age, or reach the required spirit power level early. One could graduate whenever they wished.
And Spirit Masters who graduated from the academy, if they wanted to pursue greater heights, had to enter society, which was the Spirit Master's world. They would usually choose to join a powerful Sect or family, undergoing more trials and cultivation, or even life-and-death battles.
Only by experiencing true combat could one become a truly powerful Spirit Master in the future.
"Good, then from today onwards, you are all members of my Hall of Judgment," Lin Yu said, and couldn't help but glance at Gu Yuena again.
Gu Yuena also noticed Lin Yu's gaze, but merely smiled faintly and said nothing more.
"Xiao Shuai, arrange their positions."
"Also, Shui Bing'er, Feng Xiaotian, the two of you come see me afterwards."
"Yes, Hall Master Lin Yu!"
Lin Shuai led Shui Bing'er, Gu Yuena, Feng Xiaotian, and the others to their new positions.
Undoubtedly, as long as these individuals performed well in the future, they would all become core members of the Hall of Judgment.
After they left, Lin Yu subtly beckoned, and a Spirit Master of the Spirit Douluo level instantly appeared, kneeling on one knee before him: "Hall Master Lin Yu!"
"Keep a close eye on Gu Yuena. This woman must have a purpose for coming to our Spirit Hall. If anything seems amiss, notify me immediately," Lin Yu instructed.
"Yes, Hall Master Lin Yu."
"Then I shall take my leave."
The Spirit Douluo subordinate nodded and disappeared again.
After the Grand Competition, Zhuqing, Oscar, and Dugu Yan also chose to graduate directly. They were no longer core disciples of Spirit Hall and had also joined the Hall of Judgment.
