In Douluo Continent, his martial soul mutated into Blue Silver Grass.

Lin Hai strolled through Jialing Pass, occasionally seeing some interesting things, but they were of no use to him!

"As expected, at this level, there are very few items that would suit me!"

"Hello, young man!" Just then, a cheerful voice came from beside Lin Hai.

"Such powerful mental strength. If you were a magician, your achievements would surely astound the world." A not-too-old voice rang in Lin Hai's mind, and then a smiling old man appeared beside Lin Hai.

The newcomer wore a simple blue robe, devoid of even the slightest elemental fluctuation. He carried no staff and appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary old man. Though not tall, he had a large waist, and his plump body, coupled with a broad, warm smile, gave him a very kind appearance.

Lin Hai's eyes secretly scanned his surroundings, and he found that no one seemed to be paying attention to the person next to him.

How did you find me?

"Heh heh heh, it's just mental energy!"

"With your powerful mental fluctuations, appearing so openly inside Jialing Pass, I have no choice but to know even if I don't want to."

"Although you have restrained your internal and external spiritual power and mental strength, do not forget where you came from."

"This is the Magic Temple of the Temple Alliance. The Magic Temple is not as simple as you think. So, who are you, young man?"

"Interesting!" Lin Hai murmured softly.

"There are countless heroes in this world."

"Hmm~" The plump old man still had a smile on his face.

"Judging from your description, the one who discovered me and found me so accurately must be Li Zhengzhi, the Lord of the Magic Temple!"

"It seems I have a pretty good reputation outside."

"Young man, you're not a mage, are you? Are you from the Knights' Temple or the Warriors' Temple?" Li Zhengzhi looked Lin Hai up and down, and based on Lin Hai's tall, slender and steady figure, he guessed whether he was from the Knights' Temple or the Warriors' Temple.

Upon hearing this, Lin Hai shook his head immediately.

Li Zhengzhi's smiling face froze for a moment before returning to normal.

"Young man, would you like to have a seat in my magic temple?"

"Okay!" Lin Hai replied succinctly.

Lin Hai had seen the exterior of the Magic Temple when he first arrived.

Stepping into the magic temple, one finds a massive hall with a towering dome, opulent decorations, and a luxurious yet tasteful atmosphere. Magical symbols are everywhere, and the surrounding walls are covered in dense high elven script. Inside, the fluctuations of various elemental attributes in the air are noticeably more than twice as strong as outside. However, the mix of these attributes creates a slightly chaotic atmosphere.

However, the almost viscous magical elements were enough to be awe-inspiring. Even ordinary people could sense the difference in the air compared to other places.

Inside the main hall, there are six enormous statues. The two innermost statues are gold and black, while the four outermost statues are blue, red, yellow, and cyan. The six statues are all different in appearance; the gold and blue statues are female, while the other four are male.

These six statues represent the six elemental gods worshipped by the Magic Temple, respectively representing water, fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness.

Magicians have different attributes, not just these six. There are also derivative attributes such as lightning and ice. However, the magical world believes that all other attributes are based on the six basic elements. Therefore, these six basic elements are the foundation of all magic, and the elemental gods are the highest gods they worship.

After entering the magic temple, Li Zhengzhi bowed slightly to the six statues.

Lin Hai then remembered that the Magic Temple did indeed have such a ritual. So he followed Li Zhengzhi and learned it in a very serious manner.

At that very moment, a strange scene unfolded: the statues of the God of Light and the God of Thunder on the inner side suddenly lit up, emitting a soft yet dazzling light. Golden and purple lights flickered and intertwined at that instant.

This scene greatly surprised Li Zhengzhi. You must know that these six elemental statues were not just randomly placed here. They were truly the divine relics left behind by the six elemental gods in this world. The predecessors of the Magic Temple tried every means to gather these divine relics together and concentrate them in the Magic Temple.

The powerful defensive barrier at Jialing Pass is centered around these six statues. In essence, these six statues together constitute a divine artifact with all attributes, and are among the most precious treasures of the Magic Temple.

At this moment, the statues representing the gods of light and thunder emitted light, which meant that a power of the same origin as them had drawn upon their aura.

The strange phenomenon caused by Lin Hai immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the entire Magic Temple.

"What's going on? What are these lights?"

"It's coming from the main hall of the temple!!"

Upon hearing this, the people of the Magic Temple sprang into action.

The last time the elemental statues displayed miracles was when Li Zhengzhi, the Lord of the Magic Temple, ascended to the throne. At that time, it was the Wind Elementalist who performed the miracles for Lord Li Zhengzhi.

At that moment, a miracle occurred at the statue of the god of wind, just like the situation had just occurred.

"You little rascal!" Li Zhengzhi said with a laugh.

"I didn't expect this young man to be so talented! Even I couldn't reach his level back then. The two statues performed miracles because of him."

"What a natural talent to become a magician!"

"What a pity!" It's a pity that Lin Hai has already grown up, and he has no chance with this young man.

When Li Zhengzhi first met Lin Hai, he sensed Lin Hai's power. It was a spirit and temperament unique to those who had reached the ninth level of power, an invisible force emanating from him.

As a ninth-tier, fourth-level magic god, Li Zhengzhi was naturally able to sense it.

Time slowly passed, and Lin Hai was still receiving the miracle, but a considerable number of onlookers had gathered, filling the entire hall of the magic temple.

Fortunately, Lin Hai put on a mask when he entered the Magic Temple, otherwise, there wouldn't have been much of a problem. Hahahaha.

"The Palace Master is here too!"

"If it wasn't the temple master who triggered the miracle, then who is that person next to the temple master? He actually managed to trigger the miracle of the statue. Among the people I know, only the temple master has ever received a miracle."

"This person doesn't seem to be from the Magic Temple; he's not wearing a mage's robe."

"Is this person a friend of the teacher? I've never seen her before." The speaker was a female mage. She was beautiful and slender, dressed in a clean and neat blue magic robe. A blue headband held back her long black hair, with a diamond-shaped blue gem in the center. In her right hand, she held a long-handled staff, which was entirely crystal clear blue, like a piece of blue crystal. At the top was a transparent gem the size of a goose egg. Strangely, blue winds were constantly swirling inside the transparent gem, as if a tornado was stored within it.

She stood at the front of the crowd, and everyone gave her an empty seat, treating her the same as the elders of the magic temple, which shows how high the status of this young female magician was.

After a while, Lin Hai opened his eyes, and the divine radiance slowly faded away.

"Oh? You're awake!"

When Lin Hai opened his eyes, he realized that so many people had already gathered around him. Lin Hai turned to look at Li Zhengzhi and saw his leisurely expression. He immediately knew that this was intentional.

"Alright, everyone disperse!" Li Zhengzhi said softly. Li Zhengzhi did have the ability to conceal the strange phenomena in Lin Hai, but the reason he didn't conceal them was entirely because he wanted to use Lin Hai to give these big and small guys from the Magic Temple some insights and motivation.

"Now that you're done with your work, let's go to the top floor for a chat!"

"Tan Wan, go and brew me a pot of tea!" Li Zhengzhi said to the young girl. That girl was none other than Tan Wan, the direct disciple of the Temple Master of the Magic Temple.

"Yes, teacher!" Tan Wan left, and then the rest of the people in the hall also left. Although the elders wanted to ask, they knew that they probably wouldn't get anything out of them at this moment.

"Please!" Li Zhengzhi treated Lin Hai with the same courtesy he would show to a guest of equal status, gesturing for Lin Hai to enter.

The elders who hadn't left yet stared at this sight, their mouths agape.

"Who is this person that the Palace Master treats him with such courtesy?"

"We don't know either. We've never seen this person before, and anyone treated like this by the Temple Master must be a ninth-tier expert. But we haven't heard of any Temple members advancing to the ninth tier recently!"

"Could it be a reclusive master who has secluded himself in seclusion, cultivated diligently, and then descended to the world to vanquish evil and cleanse the darkness after achieving a breakthrough?"

Lin Hai followed Li Zhengzhi all the way to the top floor of the Magic Temple. The entrance to the top floor was a three-meter-high portal of light.

As Lin Hai passed through the portal, a look of curiosity appeared on his face regarding the design.

Beyond the portal lay a vast, open space, far larger than the main hall of the magic temple as seen from the outside. Furthermore, the magical elemental fluctuations were both more viscous and purer.

The enormous hall was hundreds of meters in diameter, surrounded by doors, and in the center of the hall was a shimmering magical six-pointed star. "Step onto the magic circle, and you'll reach my office."

"Isn't this floor your office?"

"Do you really think a temple master's office wouldn't even have a desk?"

"And what is this floor?"

"Every room here is a training ground, and some of them are the residences of high-level mages. Only mages with the cultivation level of Saint Archmage or above can live here."

Li Zhengzhi didn't reveal anything to Lin Hai; he simply recounted a single event.

Li Zhengzhi then stepped forward and entered the six-pointed star magic circle in front of him, with Lin Hai following closely behind.

With a flash of light, they found themselves in a separate space.

This separate space is decorated in an extremely luxurious manner, and is surrounded by distorted light, with the rich aura of the six elements of water, fire, earth, wind, light, and darkness emanating from it.

However, these elemental impacts, which are extremely terrifying to outsiders, are almost non-existent for Lin Hai. As Lin Hai released his mental power, this separate spatial plane appeared.

"An independent dimension? What a grand scheme!" Lin Hai exclaimed in admiration.

"Such spiritual power is indeed very strong. Although I had expected it, I only realized how extraordinary it was when I actually saw it." Li Zhengzhi appeared beside Lin Hai without saying a word and suddenly spoke up.

"Since you invited me here, shouldn't you introduce yourself first?" Lin Hai said calmly.

"Hehehe, I am Li Zhengzhi, the current Temple Master of the Magic Temple of the Temple Alliance." Li Zhengzhi said directly without beating around the bush.

The chubby temple master of the Magic Temple is named Li Zhengzhi, a rather old-fashioned name, but his strength is among the best in the entire alliance. Don't be fooled by his kind appearance; in fact, he is one of the most ruthless among the top experts in the alliance.

Back then, he ventured alone deep into the Demon Realm and cast forbidden spells in six provinces. The Demon Emperor was furious and summoned the Moon Demon God Agares to hunt him down for thousands of miles, almost traversing the entire Demon Realm. The outcome was uncertain, but at least this Lord Li Zhengzhi is still alive and well.

It was that classic battle that made his name resound throughout the entire Temple Alliance, and he became the current ruler of the Magic Temple through this battle.

"Lin Hai!" Lin Hai said succinctly.

The clash between two old foxes is about to begin.

"Hello!" Li Zhengzhi took the initiative and gestured to Lin Hai.

Is he testing me? Lin Hai wasn't intimidated and reached out to grasp Li Zhengzhi's hand.

The first formal duel between two ninth-tier powerhouses has begun!

The two of them froze slightly, and the atmosphere around them immediately underwent a subtle change, with golden, purple, and cyan lights faintly floating in the space.

A miraculous scene unfolded: the azure light actively attacked the other two colors of light, fighting against overwhelming odds without showing any panic. At the same time, Lin Hai felt a change within himself, as if something was propelling his body.

Lin Hai looked inside and out, a slow smile playing on his lips. A layer of golden light suddenly appeared around him, and the impact he felt vanished instantly. The interplay of cyan and gold created an indescribably strange and dazzling effect.

Just as the two were at an impasse and preparing to raise the limit, a figure suddenly appeared, disrupting their plans.

"Teachers, what are you doing here?"

The one who suddenly appeared was none other than Tan Wan! The female magician Tan Wan stood to the side, her eyes wide open.

At first glance, what she saw was two grown men with smirks on their faces, shaking hands. It was a perfectly normal scene, but why did it seem so abnormal to her?

At second glance, the spiritual energy fluctuations were terrifying. Was the teacher fighting this mysterious person? This person was incredibly strong, able to contend with the teacher.
