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

Chapter 33 Zhang Lingyu's Transformation

On the stage.

Zhang Tianyi was already used to the amazed, shocked, and life-doubting gazes from below.

He tilted his head slightly and said in a voice only the old Celestial Master could hear:

"Senior brother, it seems my looks are still pretty good. Look at those girls down there, they're practically drooling."

The old master gazed ahead, maintaining his smile, his lips moving slightly:

"Watch your image. You're Tian Shu Zhenren now, not Zhang Pikachu. Keep up appearances and don't give yourself away."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Zhang Tianyi chuckled softly, then composed himself and scanned the entire room with his gaze.

In that instant, the aura of authority that belonged to those in a superior position was naturally revealed.

The originally noisy crowd involuntarily quieted down when they met that gaze.

"Everyone."

The old Celestial Master stood still, his voice booming:

"The Grand Ritual of Luotian has now come to a successful conclusion."

"The winner is Zhang Chulan!"

Zhang Chulan was pushed to the front of the stage with a completely bewildered look on his face.

Looking at the radiant "Second Master" next to him, and then at his own wrinkled and worn-out Nationwide uniform, he suddenly felt a strong sense of inferiority.

"Master...Master?"

Zhang Chulan muttered under his breath, "You're being way too... too flashy! How am I supposed to stand like this? I look like a beggar!"

Zhang Tianyi ignored him and instead smiled as she picked up the blue thread-bound book, "Tongtian Lu," from the tray beside her.

He didn't say anything, but quietly handed the book to Zhang Chulan.

The entire audience held their breath. Those were the Eight Extraordinary Skills!

However, Zhang Chulan did not reach out to take it.

He looked at the secret manual that was enough to cause a bloodbath in the world of supernatural beings, a complex look flashed in his eyes, and then became clear and firm.

“Um… Second Master, Master, Old Master Lu.”

Zhang Chulan scratched his head, a signature, slightly goofy smile appearing on his face:

"This thing... can I not have it?"

Whoosh—!

There was an uproar.

Lu Jin's eyes widened even more: "Kid! What did you say? This is the Heavenly Scroll! You don't want it?"

"Hehe, Mr. Lu, don't be angry."

Zhang Chulan waved his hand, took half a step back, and bowed deeply to everyone:

"I'm not greedy. One Golden Light Spell and one Thunder Technique are enough for me to practice for a lifetime. If I were to learn another skill, my brain wouldn't be able to hold it all, and it would only be a nuisance."

"Besides, I participated in this competition to find out the truth. Now that I've achieved my goal, I... won't accept the reward."

Seeing Zhang Chulan's seemingly "useless" but actually clear-headed appearance, Zhang Tianyi's smile deepened.

He turned to look at the old master, and the two exchanged a glance.

The old master nodded slightly, his eyes full of approval.

This child knows when to advance and when to retreat, and understands how to make choices; he is a promising talent.

"Since the winner doesn't want..."

Zhang Tianyi withdrew his hand, his tone clear and bright, like jade striking stone:

"Then this prize money should not be wasted."

He slowly turned around and walked towards Zhang Lingyu, who was standing on the other side with her head down and a gloomy expression.

Although Zhang Lingyu lost, his white clothes remained spotless, but he was surrounded by an oppressive aura.

Zhang Tianyi stopped in front of Zhang Lingyu.

“Lingyu”.

Zhang Lingyu shuddered and looked up, meeting a pair of warm, watery purple eyes.

"Second...Second Martial Uncle..."

"Take it."

Zhang Tianyi casually shoved the "Tongtian Lu" into Zhang Lingyu's hands, as if he were handing him an elementary school textbook.

"That kid Chu Lan is lazy and doesn't want to learn. As his senior, you should keep it for him."

"Perfect. While your methods are strong, they lack flexibility. With this Heavenly Talisman, you'll have more room for maneuver when facing enemies in the future."

"But... I lost..."

Zhang Lingyu held the book, her fingers turning white, her eyes filled with shame and resistance.

He is an extremely proud and rule-abiding person. Losing the game has already made him feel ashamed, so how could he accept the reward?

"lose?"

Zhang Tianyi chuckled softly and suddenly reached out his hand.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, amidst the envious screams of countless girls.

A slender, jade-like finger gently touched Zhang Lingyu's brow.

"Does winning or losing matter? Lingyu, your heart... is too heavy."

Zhang Tianyi's voice became ethereal yet majestic, as if resonating directly within Zhang Lingyu's soul:

“You despise your Yin Five Thunder, thinking it's dirty and shameful.”

"But thunder magic has no distinction between yin and yang; it is all the power of the heavenly way."

"Today, your uncle will bestow upon you a great fortune."

Buzz—Buzz—!

In an instant, an extremely pure, domineering, yet vibrant purple lightning bolt shot through Zhang Tianyi's fingertips and into Zhang Lingyu's body!

[Innate Lightning Attraction]

This is not an ordinary transmission of power.

This is Zhang Tianyi using his innate thunder essence to rebuild Zhang Lingyu's foundation in thunder magic!

"Well--!!"

Zhang Lingyu let out a suppressed growl.

He felt a warm current instantly break through the gloom that had been accumulating in his body for many years.

What he had initially perceived as viscous, dark, and muddy water-dirty lightning began to boil and sublimate under the guidance of this purple lightning.

The black was still black, but it was no longer the filthy black.

It was a blackness as deep as an abyss and as vast as the night sky!

Yin gives rise to Yang, solemn and dignified!

boom!

A black pillar of lightning shot into the sky, interspersed with purple arcs of electricity, appearing exceptionally eerie and magnificent in the setting sun.

The entire audience was stunned.

"An immortal touched my head, granting me eternal life..."

Wang Ye muttered to himself, his eyes filled with shock, "This spirit jade can be considered a blessing in disguise, a meteoric rise to the top."

A moment later, the lightning dissipated.

Zhang Lingyu stood still, her original effeminate and melancholic temperament completely gone.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with a restrained brilliance, and his aura was harmonious and unrestrained, giving him the air of a grandmaster.

He stared blankly as he felt the changes within his body, and the "dirty" feeling that had plagued him for years completely disappeared.

Instead, there is an unprecedented clarity and power.

"Thank you so much... Second Martial Uncle for your kindness!!"

Zhang Lingyu's eyes were slightly red. Without any hesitation, she knelt down before Zhang Tianyi and performed the most solemn salute.

This time, it is gratitude from the depths of my soul.

"Get up."

Zhang Tianyi accepted the bow with a smile, reached out to help him up, and casually straightened his collar.

"You are a high-ranking official of the Celestial Master's Mansion, and you will be the face of this world of supernatural beings in the future. Don't always look so gloomy, smile."

"Remember, whether it's the Tongtian Talisman or the Yin Five Thunders, they are all just techniques."

"What is truly powerful is your heart."

Zhang Zhiwei, the old master, watched this scene from the side.

The wrinkles on his aged face seemed to have smoothed out.

He stroked his beard, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

Ok.

so good.

Chu Lan is a cunning kid, no need to worry about him.

Lingyu is such a stubborn child, it's the thing that worries me the most.
