Chapter 321: Two Teachers? That's Not Impossible
Yan Kuangsheng didn’t want to listen at first, but he still let Bai Yiyuan finish the story. As Bai Yiyuan recounted Lin Moyu's exploits, he added more flair than necessary. Yan Kuangsheng was visibly shocked.
"You’re telling me he went to the Abyssal World, wiped out three cities, and even killed a Demon King’s avatar?" Yan Kuangsheng asked, his eyes narrowing.
He then fixed his gaze on Lin Moyu, exerting an invisible pressure. In the presence of a God-level powerhouse, no one dared to lie.
Bai Yiyuan chimed in, "You old freak, didn’t I just tell you—"
"Shut your mouth." Yan Kuangsheng cut him off with a growl, "I didn’t ask you. I want to hear it from him."
Bai Yiyuan snorted. He’d normally argue, but given he was here to ask for a favor, he held his tongue.
Lin Moyu spoke calmly, "Yes. I massacred three cities, killed the Tetrawing Bull King's avatar, and just before the Demon King’s main body arrived, unleashed Poison Star Ring on the Demon King city."
Yan Kuangsheng’s brows furrowed, his voice carried a sharp edge, "Poison Star Ring? That’s the skill you used just now?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "When combined with my Primordial Rune skill, Poison Star Ring can produce immense power."
Yan Kuangsheng had already felt its potency firsthand—ordinary below level 70 Demons stood no chance of surviving it. For a moment, admiration flickered in his eyes, "Well done."Bai Yiyuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "What do you think? We never succeeded in wiping out cities in the Abyssal World, but my disciple has done it."
Yan Kuangsheng shot him a glance, unimpressed, "You didn’t do it yourself, so what are you so proud of?"
Bai Yiyuan shrugged off the verbal jab with ease, "My disciple’s accomplishments are my own accomplishments. Now, about that item of yours… could you—"
"No." Yan Kuangsheng cut him off again, this time with a flat refusal.
Bai Yiyuan’s face darkened, "Don't be so quick to refuse. Let’s talk about the conditions. I'm sure we can work something out."
Yan Kuangsheng fixed his gaze on Lin Moyu. Based on Lin Moyu's earlier performance, calling him merely a genius no longer seemed fitting—he was a freak of nature. Yan Kuangsheng had no choice but acknowledge that even he couldn’t have accomplished such feats at level 39.
Facing higher-leveled opponents wasn’t unusual, but for Lin Moyu to completely dominate adversaries so far above his level was extraordinary. Yan Kuangsheng himself had killed Demon King avatars before, but that was at level 69, just before his third-class awakening. Lin Moyu, on the other hand, was only level 39.
The disparity was astounding.
Reluctantly, Yan Kuangsheng had to admit that Lin Moyu was more exceptional than even he had been at that age.
His eyes gleamed with newfound interest, "Agree to one condition, and I'll give you the item."
Bai Yiyuan, without missing a beat, declared confidently, "Just name it! One condition, ten conditions—I’d agree to anything."
By this point, Bai Yiyuan wasn’t concerned about saving face. He had come too far and agreed without hesitation, figuring he could sort out the details later.
Yan Kuangsheng's lips curved into a smirk, "One is enough. Have him become my disciple."
"No problem!" Bai Yiyuan replied instantly.
Both Lin Moyu and Yan Kuangsheng were momentarily stunned. Did this guy really hear it properly? He agreed so readily?
Seeing their reactions, Bai Yiyuan waved it off casually, "What's the big deal? It's perfectly normal for someone to have two teachers. It's like a teacher accepting two disciples—there’s no difference." ℝ
...
Lin Moyu's mouth twitched slightly, "No difference? There's a huge difference."
But he wisely chose to keep those thoughts to himself. His situation was already critical, and if he didn’t resolve it, who knew what might happen next?
Bai Yiyuan jumped in before Yan Kuangsheng could reconsider, "It's settled then! As a mighty god-level powerhouse, surely your word is your bond."
Yan Kuangsheng’s expression darkened, cursing silently, “Damn it, I got ahead of myself. I should’ve demanded that he sever their master-disciple relationship.”
But it was too late now. As a god-level powerhouse, he had no choice but to honor his word.
Yan Kuangsheng snorted, then turned to Lin Moyu, "Come with me." He then directed his next words to Bai Yiyuan, "As for you, get lost."
Bai Yiyuan responded cheerfully, "Alright, alright, I’m leaving!" He was more than satisfied. His goal had been achieved, and the rest didn’t concern him.
Although the Bloody Land, like the Immemorial Battlefield, was an independent space, it was significantly smaller, spanning only about 100 kilometers in diameter. At its center stood a small courtyard, unlike anything Lin Moyu had expected.
There was no fence surrounding the courtyard, only a solidified bloody murderous aura, forming a boundary. Inside the courtyard, however, grew plants—blood-red in color. Their fragrance carried a faint scent of blood but also exuded a strange vitality. It was a sharp contrast to the desolate, blood-soaked landscape that stretched for kilometers with no other signs of life.
"You’ll stay here for a while." Yan Kuangsheng said curtly.
Lin Moyu nodded, but concern tinged his voice as he asked, "Master Yan... what about my murderous aura?"
Without a word, Yan Kuangsheng tossed a black rhomboid gemstone into the air and made a swift gesture with his hand. Immediately, a current of air swept over Lin Moyu, calming the turbulent murderous aura that had been surging within him. It was far more effective than the Tranquil Potion he had used before.
Lin Moyu held the rhomboid gemstone in his hand, realizing that this must be the item Bai Yiyuan had come to ask for. His curiosity piqued, he activated the Detection spell.
[Domain Divine Stone: can create a domain.]
Lin Moyu stared at the stone, puzzled. He had never heard of such a thing before.
Yan Kuangsheng, noticing his confusion, smirked. "Never heard of it, huh?"
Lin Moyu nodded.
"That's because knowledge about domains isn't recorded in books." Yan Kuangsheng explained, "For now, you don’t need to know the specifics. Just focus on controlling your murderous aura. Inject it into the Domain Divine Stone. As for how you do that—figure it out yourself. I don’t have the time to spoon-feed you."
With that, Yan Kuangsheng turned and went into the house, slamming the door behind him, clearly refusing to let Lin Moyu in.
Left alone, Lin Moyu sighed softly, then turned his attention to the Domain Divine Stone. He attempted to channel his chaotic murderous aura into the stone, but no matter how hard he tried, it wouldn’t obey him. It was like trying to grasp smoke.
"Teacher possesses such a strong murderous aura, yet he can control it effortlessly. There must be a trick to it—I just haven't figured it out yet... How can I learn to control my murderous aura?"
He sat there, lost in thought for a long time, but no solution presented itself.
As Lin Moyu pondered, he suddenly noticed the thick murderous aura enveloping the courtyard like a fog. This dense murderous aura, hanging over the area like a storm cloud, had not dissipated—it belonged to Yan Kuangsheng. Lin Moyu could sense his unique presence from it.
Yan Kuangsheng could release and control his murderous aura so precisely, even leaving it outside like this. In this regard at least, he must be far superior to Bai Yiyuan.
"There was something more. Embedded within Teacher's murderous aura is a distinct mark—his soul brand…" Lin Moyu could clearly sense the unique mark left by Yan Kuangsheng within the murderous aura.
A spark of realization struck Lin Moyu, and suddenly, things became clearer. With this insight, he began to experiment, trying to use his spirit force to control his murderous aura. Again and again, he failed. Despite this, he didn’t feel discouraged. If others could master it, he believed he could too. He just needed time.
Days passed. Lin Moyu sat, unyielding, working relentlessly to refine his control. Mastery wasn’t something that could be achieved overnight, but his determination didn’t waver.
For ten days, Lin Moyu remained motionless, consumed by his effort.
Unbeknownst to him, Yan Kuangsheng had been watching, observing Lin Moyu’s progress in silence. Throughout the ten day, Lin Moyu’s murderous aura frequently spiraled out of control, threatening to erupt. Each time, Yan Kuangsheng effortlessly suppressed it with a mere slap of his hand.
Initially, Yan Kuangsheng had taken Lin Moyu as his disciple merely to spite for Bai Yiyuan. But over time, he found himself developing a sense of approval for the young man. Lin Moyu’s relentless perseverance and unyielding will impressed him, far more than he had expected.
Finally, after ten grueling days of relentless effort, Lin Moyu managed to manipulate a wisp of his murderous aura. It wasn’t much, but it was a breakthrough. He carefully guided the wisp into the Domain Divine Stone, and with a sudden ding, the stone flew out of his palm, spinning rapidly in the air before transforming into a beam of light and drilling directly into his forehead.
Startled, Lin Moyu realized something had changed within his mental world—the Domain Divine Stone had integrated with it. Checking his attributes, he noticed a new skill had appeared: Domain of Slaughter. However, it was marked as unavailable.
Inside the house, Yan Kuangsheng had been watching the entire scene unfold. He muttered to himself, a rare flicker of surprise crossing his face, "He really did it."
He pushed open the door and stepped outside for the first time in ten days, walking toward Lin Moyu.
Seeing his teacher approach, Lin Moyu immediately stood up and bowed, "Teacher."
Yan Kuangsheng waved him off, "No need for that. You’ve learned a new skill, haven’t you?"
Lin Moyu nodded, "Yes, Domain of Slaughter. But I can't use it yet."
"Of course you can’t use it." Yan Kuangsheng replied, "At your current level, trying to activate a domain-type skill would be suicide. What you need to do now is focus on injecting all of your murderous aura into the Domain Divine Stone. Only when it’s completely filled will you be able to use the skill. Keep at it. I’m heading out for a while."
