With the entire Radiance Federation watching, the curtain closed on the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.
Ten new members filled the last ten ranks of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. Among the ten were Du Xing and Mu Yan, who had been eliminated during the Radiance Hundred Sequence reranking.
Yang Nuanxin and the Cleansing Rain Sky Crane's ability to drive off death aura allowed her to perform well during the selection. But she did not manage to occupy one of the ten spots.
Nonetheless, after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended, she received an invitation to join the Spirit Guards, and they offered her very generous terms.
After joining the Spirit Guards, Yang Nuanxin would become a specialized expert.
Yang Nuanxin enthusiastically accepted the Spirit Guards' offer immediately.
Her biggest worry had been Yang Wenpeng seeking revenge on her after the selection ended. Given his temper, just seeking revenge on her would not be enough. He would involve her parents and the entire collateral branch as well.
But now that she had accepted the Spirit Guards' invitation and was going to be a specialized expert, she had a position as a public official, and Yang Wenpeng could not cause trouble for her.
As long as her family could securely latch themselves to the Spirit Guards, they would be able to break free from the main branch. At that point, they would no longer be under their thumb!
Mu Yan was over the moon that she managed to return to the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
She had taken stock of her own circumstances.
Her biggest disadvantage relative to the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence was her age.
She was only 23 years old this year and could not be compared to abnormalities like Lin Yuan, but she was considered one of the youngest members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. The other members with whom she had to compete were all around 26 to 27 years old.
The three- to four-year gap between them gave them a power advantage that was very difficult for her to overcome.
This left Mu Yan feeling extremely regretful.
She should have listened to her father and waited until she was 25 or 26 years old before she tried out for a spot in the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
There were both pros and cons to joining the Radiance Hundred Sequence early.
The younger one was when joining the Radiance Hundred Sequence, the longer their tenancy would be.
After passing this selection, she just needed to put herself through the wringer for another year. This year's worth of time would be sufficient to enable her to grow rapidly. It was basically a guarantee that she would be able to make it into the top 90 ranks next year.
Du Xing had yet to regain his senses.
Lin Yuan was the one who had selected him to participate in the final dueling stage.
Otherwise, he would not have made the cut based on his accumulated points.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEvery assessor was able to select members of their team to save.
Du Xing thus became the only participant Lin Yuan had saved. This was an unimaginable honor.
During the dueling stage, he was able to counter most of his opponents and only lost one round. He eventually earned the ninth spot in the final ten.
Before participating in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, he never dared to dream that he would become Sequence #99 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.
He knew that invitations from major guild clubs would start streaming in tomorrow once the Radiance Sacred Hall officially declared his position. He would not only be able to become part of the guild club's main team but also recruit his old teammates into the guild club.
The Radiance Sacred Hall was also going to nurture a Bronze/Legend fey for him that would be tailored to his Willpower Rune.
All he needed to do was complete the Radiance Sacred Hall's tasks and earn resources, and he would be able to nurture the Bronze/Legend fey.
With access to the provision of such resources, his future was unlimited!
Lin Yuan was a veteran member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and immediately returned to the Return from Faraway Mansion once the induction ceremony for the new members was completed.
He had left the Mother of Bloodbath in the Return from Faraway to look after Shiny.
Feys with the Barren bloodline were powerful. Logic dictated that the more powerful the fey, the more capable they would be of handling their own World Cleansing to evolve to Myth Breed.
But feys with the Barren bloodline had to tackle much more intense World Cleansings than regular feys. Hence, there was a high chance that they would end up injuring their roots if they tried taking on their World Cleansings on their own, resulting in irreparable damage.
When the Mother of Bloodbath used its full power now, it was able to wield Immortal Breed combat power.
Lin Yuan did not have to worry at all if the Mother of Bloodbath was the one helping Shiny to evolve.
The Mother of Bloodbath had already sent a message through the Thoughts Letter Paper to tell Lin Yuan that Shiny had evolved successfully.
Although there had still been a few bumps during the evolution process, the Mother of Bloodbath deemed Shiny's evolution to be a perfect one. It also marveled at how comprehensive Shiny's abilities were.
This caused Lin Yuan to form a conjecture.
As a Heavenly Family Fey, the Mother of Bloodbath had very high standards. It would never praise Shiny if it did not deserve it. Shiny's transformation had to have truly stunned the Mother of Bloodbath.
But why did the Mother of Bloodbath marvel at how comprehensive Shiny's abilities were?
The Mother of Bloodbath had already seen Shiny before it evolved to Myth Breed. If it wanted to praise Shiny, it could have done so then instead of waiting until now.
The Mother of Bloodbath's praise had to mean that Shiny's abilities had improved again!
Presently, the only area in which Shiny was lacking was its absence of healing abilities. Could Shiny have gained healing abilities when it evolved to Suzerain/Myth?
Frankly, with the Jasmine Lily, there was no need for Lin Yuan's other feys to gain healing-related abilities because its healing abilities were already sufficiently well-rounded!
Lin Yuan hurriedly entered the Return from Faraway Mansion and saw a golden-haired young man sitting next to the Mother of Bloodbath.
This golden-haired young man looked rather similar to Lin Yuan, but his eyes were wilder. His long golden eyebrows were as sharp as swords, and his hooked nose had an exotic charm. It was clear that this was a fey in human form.
The Mother of Bloodbath said sharply, "You have already evolved to Myth Breed and should be intelligent enough to tell right from wrong. You should be trying to learn manners instead of trying to destroy homes! If I see you trying to ruin the furniture made from jade-textured wood again, I will spank you again!"
Shiny shrunk back its neck. Its face, which resembled Lin Yuan's own, took on an expression of nervous fear.
Shiny was a feather-winged species fey with the Barren bloodline and could be considered a bird.
The Mother of Bloodbath was a bird-catching spider and was considered the natural enemy of bird-species feys. It posed a big threat to them.
Furthermore, the Mother of Bloodbath's grade was above that of Shiny.
The Mother of Bloodbath was always kind toward Lin Yuan's feys and was on very good terms with Chimey and Genius.
At first, the Mother of Bloodbath had been the same way toward Shiny. However, after Shiny underwent the World Cleansing and changed into human form, it crushed many pieces of jade-textured furniture in the Return from Faraway Mansion. It was more mischievous than young human children!
Initially, the Mother of Bloodbath assumed that Shiny was just curious and could not control its own strength. But later, it realized that Shiny saw the pieces of jade-textured furniture as toys it could use to destress.
When it saw Shiny reach out its hand toward the wall hanging that depicted all of Sky City's important members, the Mother of Bloodbath could not stop itself from forcefully spanking Shiny a few times.
This immediately straightened the mischievous Shiny out.
When the Mother of Bloodbath first saw Shiny's face that greatly resembled Lin Yuan's, it felt conflicted about disciplining Shiny.
But it did not take long before the Mother of Bloodbath realized that Shiny and Lin Yuan had completely different mindsets and personalities!
If it did not properly discipline Shiny, it would cause trouble for Lin Yuan!
As Lin Yuan's Path Protector, it had the responsibility of teaching Shiny as Lin Yuan had left it in its care.
When Shiny spotted Lin Yuan, it immediately pouted and reached out its hand to him.
The Mother of Bloodbath had sensed Lin Yuan's presence when he was ten kilometers away from the Return from Faraway Mansion,
It told Lin Yuan about everything that had transpired. He had not expected Shiny to be so mischievous.
Lin Yuan always showered affection on his feys, but he would not tolerate his feys causing destruction.
He walked up to Shiny to hug it before saying seriously, "Shiny, do you remember Uncle Hu who made your nest? He painstakingly carved all the pieces you crushed. These are all products of his effort and labor. You must respect the hard work of others! If you like crushing jade-textured wood, I can give you some materials."
Lin Yuan's expression was stern. A year had passed since Lin Yuan contracted Shiny. However, he could not nurture it because he lacked dragon liver and phoenix blood.
Shiny spent most of its time in the past year playing in the marsh world. It seemed that its carefree lifestyle of the past year had caused it to develop some bad habits.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLin Yuan intended to stay with Shiny for some time so he could properly educate it.
Shiny hurriedly nodded its small head when it saw Lin Yuan's stern expression. Shiny did not want Lin Yuan to treat it the same way that the Mother of Bloodbath did.
When Lin Yuan saw it nodding obediently, he ruffled Shiny's soft golden hair.
To be frank, Shiny was very pleasant in the eyes!
Although Genius also looked like Lin Yuan when it was in its human form, its demeanor was completely different from that of Shiny. Their differing demeanors reminded Lin Yuan of the first and second male leads from the television shows in his previous life.
"Lin Yuan, I am just used to scratching and grabbing. Moreover, the jade-textured wood is very soft, and I momentarily lost myself in touching it. You don't have to prepare materials for me. I can hold myself back!"
In order to express its resolution, Shiny gently waved its fists.
When Lin Yuan's expression softened, Shiny affectionately kissed Lin Yuan's cheek.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on Shiny.
[Fey Name]: Golden Wings
[Fey Species]: Barren-species/feather-winged-species
[Fey Grade]: Suzerain (10/10)
[Fey Type]: Wind
[Fey Quality]: Myth II
Abilities:
[Snapped Neck Falling Death]: When its sharp claws make contact with a target, the target's neck will be snapped. At the same moment, the Golden Wings will extract the target's soul and absorb the soul into its feathers. The soul will imbue the storm patterns on the feathers with intelligence.
[Flowing Wind Claws]: When the wind elements in the Golden Wings' feathers are released into the environment, it will be able to control the surrounding winds and manipulate it to attack its opponent. The attacked target will feel like it is being slashed by claws. After attacking a target, the Golden Wings will also be able to inject elements into its target through explosions and cause double the amount of damage.
[Rapid Wind Whistle]: By flapping its wings to activate wind-elemental energy, it will simultaneously let out a roar that causes both physical and elemental damage to a designated target. A headwind will also lower the target's speed. Each time a headwind is released, its own speed will be increased.
[Hurricane Added Protection]: A vicious hurricane shield will be added to one's own body. Every time elemental damage is inflicted on it, the hurricane shield will absorb the damage before reflecting it. The hurricane shield can also absorb wind-elemental energy from the surroundings to replenish the wind-elemental energy in its body.
[Folded Wings Wind Valley]: With the Golden Wings at the center, an environment charged with wind-elemental energy will be formed. Wind-elemental energy will be continuously produced in this environment. When it makes a sacrifice to this territory, the wind-elemental energy will be absorbed into its bloodline and trigger a one-time explosion.
[Disappearing Wind Attack]: Its body will be combined with wind elements. Even a slight breeze will be enough for it to hide within. While it is hiding in the wind, it will be immune to damage as long as the wind remains.
[Revived Seasonal Winds]: The wind elements' state will be changed. The wind elements will gain powerful healing abilities. Targets will be healed wherever the winds exist. They will continue to heal as long as the wind does not stop moving.
Exclusive Skill:
[Unset State]: When interacting with another fey, the Golden Wings can copy the fey's exclusive skill and triggered abilities. Unset State will then turn into the copied exclusive skill and triggered ability. The abilities can only be switched out once every lunar cycle.
[Wind's Descendant]: By placing itself as the heart of all wind elements, it will become the eye of a hurricane and control all of the surrounding wind elements. It will become the master while all other winds will become its disciple.
[Summoning Wind Changing Spirit]: Use wind elements to accommodate other elemental energy and turn them into vassals of the wind elements. In extreme environments, the accommodated elemental energy can change its own attributes and allow it to become better affiliated with the environment, as well as use elemental attacks of different elemental types.
Lin Yuan noticed that the Suzerain ability, Revived Seasonal Winds, was indeed a healing ability! But after reading through its effects, he did not think it was a pity that it was a group healing ability. Instead, he could not be more thrilled!
