Li Tianming didn’t expect that achieving peak compatibility would cause such a big stir.
Now, almost all the Heavenly Masters of the Heavenly Mansion were present, even the Deputy Mansion Lord had appeared.
A few days ago, in the Inheritance Hall, these Heavenly Masters had been too lazy to pay him any attention, even going so far as to mock and ridicule him.
But at this moment, when he walked out from beside the Yanhuang Stone, Li Tianming saw that their faces were almost incredulous.
"Peak compatibility..."
"Only the monsters of legend could have such talent."
"If it were Lin Xiaoting, I would believe it, but how could it be him..."
"Is it really true?"
"If he had been cultivating beside the Yanhuang Stone since childhood, he would be even stronger than Lin Xiaoting now!"
They were Heavenly Masters, and they understood the Yanhuang Stone, so they knew just how remarkable an achievement Li Tianming had accomplished!
To be honest, in just a few days, their attitude towards Li Tianming had to shift from disdain to envy, which was quite a challenge.
Most of the Heavenly Masters had spoken contemptuously of him, and now, with the fact of peak compatibility before them, wasn’t this a slap in the face?
The Heavenly Masters hadn’t felt this silent shame in a long time.
Who still thought he was the laughingstock of three years ago?
Who still thought that being listed as a supreme mediocrity in the Inheritance Hall was a disgrace?
They looked at Li Tianming, each one frozen in place.
Their stunned, puzzled, and astonished expressions were as vivid as they could be.
"How did you do it?" Mu Yang stood at the front of the crowd, even he was now shaking his head with a bitter smile, unable to shake off the shock.
"Of course, it’s because of my supreme talent, the talent that all of you Heavenly Masters looked down upon." Li Tianming smiled.
To be honest, the expressions of the Heavenly Masters now made him feel quite satisfied.
Zhao Tianchen, Feng Wuguang, Gao Yuanding, and so on...
Low-key?
After obtaining the ancient chaotic giant beast, he was destined not to be low-key.
When it was time to slap faces, Li Tianming would never be polite.
"Peak compatibility is enough to earn you a place in the history of the Yanhuang Academy, well done." Mu Yang wouldn’t be stingy with his praise.
Every word he said was authoritative to everyone present.
Now that even Mu Yang acknowledged it, it further confirmed that Li Tianming had turned things around in the Heavenly Mansion.
"It’s been so many years since peak compatibility has appeared. We really misjudged you back then." Heavenly Master Feng Wuguang shook his head.
"Li Tianming’s background isn’t high, but only now do we realize his cultivation talent is astonishing!"
"If he had been born in Yan Capital, in a prestigious family, his achievements would be even greater." Heavenly Master Gao Yuanding also put aside his prejudices and began to praise Li Tianming.
Hearing this, Mu Yang shook his head and smiled.
In fact, he knew that Li Tianming was born into a prestigious family, but unfortunately, he hadn’t grown up there.
"The recognition of the Yanhuang Stone at least means that his cultivation speed will be very fast, which can make up for the progress he fell behind in the early stages. One day, he will catch up with his peers."
Heavenly Master Qin Shi was also present. She no longer felt that Jiang Feilun standing next to Li Tianming was a waste.
The unanimous praise from the Heavenly Masters further solidified Li Tianming’s position.
This made the talented individuals of the Heavenly Mansion, who had previously spoken ill of him, now have to keep their mouths shut.
"Don’t get too excited too soon. You fell behind a lot in the early stages, even with peak compatibility, it won’t be easy to catch up with your peers."
"Moreover, your companion beast is of low rank and inferior bloodline. Don’t think of yourself as a supreme genius of the Heavenly Mansion. Take it one step at a time."
Amidst the harmonious atmosphere, Heavenly Master Zhao Tianchen said something discordant.
"Who are you calling of inferior bloodline? You’re the one with an inferior bloodline!" Little Yellow Chicken was angry and immediately retaliated against Zhao Tianchen.
Zhao Tianchen’s face changed. As a Heavenly Master, this was the first time he had been insulted by a companion beast.
Most companion beasts only communicated telepathically with their beast masters.
"Heavenly Master Zhao, my companion beast is still young, and birds speak without restraint. However, Heavenly Master Zhao’s words, Tianming will remember. One day, I will make Heavenly Master Zhao take back those words." Li Tianming was neither humble nor arrogant, smiling at Zhao Tianchen.
Everyone could tell that he was smiling calmly and composed, not being suppressed by Zhao Tianchen.
"Take back? Dream on." Zhao Tianchen sneered and didn’t say more.
After all, Mu Yang was still there, and it wasn’t his turn to speak.
"Deputy Mansion Lord, Li Tianming once said he wanted to be your disciple. Do you want to take a disciple today?" It was Heavenly Master Qin Shi who spoke.
Just a moment ago, she didn’t think much of Li Tianming, but after his peak compatibility, she had changed her mind.
When she said this, Li Tianming happened to see Jiang Qingluan standing beside her, winking at him.
It was clear that she was stunned.
But she was happy for him.
She also glared at him fiercely, clearly unhappy that he was getting too close to Jiang Feilun.
However, this sentence from Qin Shi might have been prompted by her.
After all, this was in public, and it was clearly to help him.
Thoughtful of her.
"I have a deal with him. When he has the strength to surpass Wei Guohao, I will take him as a disciple. He is about the same age as Wei Guohao."
In the presence of everyone, Mu Yang always wore a smile, looking in a good mood.
Wow!
The crowd was in an uproar.
It turned out that Li Tianming really had the possibility of becoming the Deputy Mansion Lord’s disciple!
Anyone knew how difficult it was to become the Deputy Mansion Lord’s disciple. The Deputy Mansion Lord’s last disciple was Lin Xiaoting, the number one genius of the Heavenly Mansion.
Moreover, the Deputy Mansion Lord was about to become the Mansion Lord. A direct disciple of the Mansion Lord held an even higher status, symbolizing a future candidate for the Mansion Lord of the Heavenly Mansion!
If Li Tianming could really succeed, his status in the Heavenly Mansion would be at the peak of disciples, envied by all!
"I think you shouldn’t be too smug. Although he has peak compatibility, he is at most at the fifth level of the Spirit Source Realm, while Wei Guohao is already at the eighth level."
"Right, these three levels are the hardest to cross."
"The key is, while he is cultivating, Wei Guohao is also cultivating. Wei Guohao has a fourth-level compatibility, and his talent isn’t much worse."
"The gap from the early stages is hard to catch up with, it’s like a fairy tale."
"So I think the Deputy Mansion Lord’s test is basically impossible to complete."
"Right, it’s probably just a carrot for Li Tianming. Besides, Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoting are enemies, and the Deputy Mansion Lord values Lin Xiaoting very much. How could he let these two become fellow disciples?"
"So, if you take the Deputy Mansion Lord’s words seriously, that’s a foolish act."
"I think Li Tianming should just find a Heavenly Master to guide him. Now, there are definitely many Heavenly Masters willing to instruct him."
"Otherwise, if he misses this opportunity and the gap with Wei Guohao grows wider, it would be a waste of peak compatibility."
"He looks like a proud and arrogant person. I bet he’s set his sights on the Deputy Mansion Lord."
"That’s fine. Reality will teach him that even the best talent, without proper guidance, will end up as a joke."
In such a spacious place like the Yanhuang Tower, even whispers could be heard if it was quiet enough.
There were many Heavenly Mansion disciples around, some in awe and submission, while others were envious and jealous, mocking him in their hearts.
So, we’ll see!
Catching up with Wei Guohao, is it that hard?
He currently had no status or position in the Heavenly Mansion, and could only be officially integrated by finding a master.
Therefore, crushing Wei Guohao was a must.
"Nothing else, everyone disperse and continue your cultivation. Li Tianming, come with me."
While people were still discussing, Mu Yang spoke, intending to take Li Tianming away alone.
"Yes." With the Deputy Mansion Lord’s order, everyone dispersed.
The Heavenly Masters, having witnessed Li Tianming’s peak compatibility, had nothing else to do.
They could tell that Mu Yang seemed to have some extra regard for Li Tianming.
This left the Heavenly Masters somewhat puzzled, because what would Lin Xiaoting, who was in seclusion in the Yanhuang Tower, think?
The crowd began to disperse.
Mu Yang was taking Li Tianming away, and Jiang Feilun also needed to return.
"Deputy Mansion Lord, I’ll send Princess Lan first." Li Tianming said.
"Go."
Li Tianming then led her towards Jiang Qingluan.
Although it was their first date today, it seemed he couldn’t see Jiang Feilun back, only to Jiang Qingluan’s side.
"Hello, Heavenly Master Qin." Li Tianming was very polite.
"Behave well." Qin Shi said and left.
Leaving Li Tianming with the two princesses.
"Li Tianming, look at you, so smug. You’re just here to show off your peak compatibility, right?" Jiang Qingluan said.
"You guessed right. Now, do you still dare to make me farm?"
"Who said peak compatibility can’t farm? I warn you, just because you’ve turned things around, don’t think you can do whatever you want. My Lan isn’t just anyone." Jiang Qingluan warned.
"Right, you look more casual." Li Tianming laughed.
"You! Forget it, I won’t joke with you. Let me be serious. Your peak compatibility is indeed impressive."
"Let me be straightforward. If no Heavenly Master in the Heavenly Mansion is willing to accept you, you can serve the Vermilion Bird Clan. With me, you won’t be treated unfairly." Jiang Qingluan said.
"Sure." Li Tianming nodded.
"Agree so easily?" Jiang Qingluan didn’t expect to recruit a genius for her clan so easily.
"Isn’t that obvious? He wants to be a prince consort." Little Yellow Chicken chuckled.
"Out of the question."
"It’s not like you’re the one he’s marrying. Why are you so nervous?" Little Yellow Chicken asked.
"..." Jiang Qingluan was speechless.
"Let me be serious too. Here, you two are my only friends. No matter what, I’m willing to go through fire and water for you two." Li Tianming said.
This was a sincere statement. This was his principle, and he would repay a drop of kindness with a flood.
Don’t think he was always bickering with Jiang Qingluan; he actually considered her a true friend. As for Jiang Feilun, if he could add a word to their relationship, it would be even better.
"Do you mean to stab us with a knife?" Little Yellow Chicken suddenly asked.
If not a knife, then what...
"Ha!"
Li Tianming was speechless.
Such a loyal and righteous statement, and this perverted chicken could still turn it into a double entendre. What kind of carriage is this, so fast?
Fortunately, the two of them hadn’t heard, or they would have strangled Little Yellow Chicken.
