One person: Starting with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, his grandmaster uncle emerges from seclusion.

Sunlight streamed through the carved wooden window and fell onto the chessboard.

The old master Zhang Zhiwei and Tian Jinzhong were arguing heatedly over a single move.

"Third brother! You made a mistake! Your horse was clearly here just now, why did you lead it back?!"

The old master stared wide-eyed, pressing down on a chess piece and refusing to let go.

"Senior brother, can't you be reasonable?! This is a counterattack! Besides, what's wrong with me taking back a move because I have a bad memory?"

Tian Jinzhong is now more agile, and his voice is twice as loud as before.

Just as the two old men were arguing fiercely...

"boom!"

The wooden door was kicked open roughly.

"Stop arguing! Stop arguing! You can't even stop fighting over a stupid game of chess!"

Zhang Tianyi walked in with his hands in his pockets and a swagger.

Upon hearing that familiar and irritating voice, the old master and Tian Jinzhong simultaneously stopped what they were doing and turned their heads in unison.

"Second brother? You bastard, why did you suddenly come back? You didn't even call ahead!"

Although the old master was cursing, his expression was full of surprise and joy.

"Call you? If I call you, how am I supposed to enjoy watching you cheat at chess?"

Zhang Tianyi walked over without any hesitation, grabbed a fruit from beside the chessboard, and threw it into his mouth.

"Third brother, how's the break-in period going? Are you getting used to it yet?"

"Great! I even went to the back hill to chase rabbits the day before yesterday!"

Tian Jinzhong stood up with a smile, only then noticing the girl standing behind Zhang Tianyi.

"Second Senior Brother, you brought Chen Duo back too?"

Upon hearing this, the old master's gaze swept over in that direction.

That one glance.

The two elderly people's relaxed and casual expressions froze instantly!

A true expert's skill is immediately apparent.

To an ordinary person, Chen Duo would simply be seen as a clean-looking and pretty girl.

But in the eyes of figures like the Old Celestial Master and Tian Jinzhong, Chen Duo's current state was like a luminous pearl shining in the dark!

"This...this is..."

Tian Jinzhong gasped in shock and instinctively took two steps forward:

"A flawless physique from birth?! And... it has even perfectly fused with innate lightning energy?!"

Chapter 303 How about I pass on the Heavenly Master's Seal to you!

The old master's narrow eyes were wide open at this moment.

He stared intently at Chen Duo, the shock in his eyes impossible to conceal.

As the head of the Celestial Master's Mansion, he knew all too well what this kind of talent meant!

This isn't just genius, this is the potential to become an immortal!

Looking at the two old guys, they looked completely shocked, as if they had never seen anything like it before.

Zhang Tianyi felt incredibly happy!

The fatigue from running around and tiring myself out these past few days has completely vanished!

He pulled up a chair, sat down with an air of superiority, crossed his legs, and began his performance:

"How about it? This girl has changed a lot, hasn't she!"

Zhang Tianyi's chin was practically pointing to the ceiling, his tone brimming with undisguised smugness:

"Senior brother, don't you always brag about how good your spiritual jade aptitude and how high your talent is?"

"You're comparing him to my Chen Duo?"

"What do you call this? This is called crushing defeat! This is called uneven talent!"

"My apprentice is not only beautiful, but also has such talent and comprehension! With just a few pointers, he can wield thunder magic even better than Rong Shan!"

"With this kind of talent, you tell me, isn't that amazing?!"

Zhang Tianyi got more and more excited as she spoke, ready to enjoy the old master's sour grapes expression of envy and jealousy.

but.

To Zhang Tianyi's surprise...

The old master was not provoked by his words.

Instead, a cunning glint flashed in his eyes!

"Snapped!"

The old master suddenly slapped his own thigh!

The sharp sound startled Tian Jinzhong and Zhang Tianyi, who were standing nearby.

"Great!!! That's fantastic!!!"

The old celestial master suddenly looked up and let out a loud laugh.

He walked a few steps to Chen Duo and looked her up and down as if she were a rare treasure.

That gaze was so intense it sent chills down your spine.

"Second brother, oh second brother, I really have to thank you properly today!"

The old Celestial Master turned his head, grabbed Zhang Tianyi's hand, and his beard trembled with excitement:

"You haven't just taken on a disciple! You've done an incredible service to our Celestial Master's Mansion!"

Zhang Tianyi was a little confused by his sudden and unusual behavior.

"Senior brother... have you taken the wrong medicine? I'm just teasing you, why are you getting so worked up?"

"Why am I getting excited?!"

With a flick of his sleeve, the old celestial master appeared radiant, his back ramrod straight.

"Lingyu is too stubborn, and Chulan is too slippery and refuses to take over!"

"I'm really worried about who should take on the future responsibility of the Celestial Master's Mansion!"

The old celestial master suddenly pointed at Chen Duo and shouted loudly and forcefully:

"Now that we have this girl, everything is solved."

"Such flawless talent! Such an exceptionally gifted foundation in thunder magic!"

"She was born for this position of Celestial Master!"

At this point, the old master didn't give Zhang Tianyi any time to react.

He focused his inner energy on the area outside the door and let out a loud shout:

"Kiyokaku!! Eizan!!!"

"Immediately go to the Sanqing Hall to prepare an incense table and summon all the inner disciples on the mountain."

"I, an old Taoist priest, will speak for myself today, now, immediately!"

"We must inherit the ultimate legacy of our Celestial Master's Mansion—the Celestial Master's Degree."

"Pass it on to this girl!!!"

"..."

The back hall fell into a deathly silence.

Zhang Tianyi's crossed legs were now frozen in mid-air.

The smug smile on his face froze completely in a second, and then cracked!

"Holy crap?!"

Zhang Tianyi's eyes immediately widened to be bigger than a bull's eyes!

Celestial Master's Ordination?!

You actually want to dump this rip-off on my precious apprentice?!

"Zhang Zhiwei! You old scoundrel!"

Zhang Tianyi completely lost her temper!

He completely forgot about any talk of otherworldly elegance or enlightened masters!

He sprang up from his chair like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

He pulled the bewildered Chen Duo behind him and protected her tightly.

"Don't you dare try anything funny with my precious apprentice!"

Zhang Tianyi pointed at the old master's nose, so angry that he jumped up and down and cursed loudly:

"You can't get rid of your own mess, so you're trying to screw over my apprentice?"

"I'm telling you! Not a chance! Not even a crack in the window!"

"Girl, let's go! This old geezer is wicked, we're not staying here."

As he spoke, Zhang Tianyi grabbed Chen Duo's hand and, as if avoiding a plague, turned and rushed out the door!

"Hey! Second brother, don't run away! This is such an honor!"

The old celestial master laughed heartily behind him, and shamelessly chased after him for a couple of steps:

"This is a Celestial Master's Degree! Didn't you say she had great talent? We should keep the good stuff in the family!"
