The stewards looked at each other. Their mouths were so wide that they could stuff an entire egg into them. Their expressions were comical and funny. They stammered,
“We… We can’t be hallucinating, right?”
The bell sounded melodious. There was a person standing on the lotus leaf in the middle of the lake. His toes tapped lightly, and ripples spread out on the surface of the lake. His clothes fluttered in the wind, forming a sharp contrast with the other contestants who looked like they were drenched in water.
From afar, he looked like an immortal who was riding on clouds and mist.
One man, one bell, the color of the water and the sky were the same. His imposing manner was extraordinary. Everything paled in comparison and became his background.
“I want all the information about this man!”
Soon, someone passed the information registered by Lin Bai to the supervisors. Their pupils constricted and they couldn’t help but rub their eyes, suspecting that they were hallucinating again after hearing things.
A few big words jumped into their eyes and they couldn’t help but exclaim, “He’s actually Houtian level 4!”
A few of the supervisors were the supervisors of Lin Bai’s assessment earlier. When they suddenly saw a familiar face, they recounted what they had seen and heard just now.
Only after everyone exchanged information did they learn that Lin Bai always left everyone behind in every test.
“You call this a Houtian level 4? Who is as freakish as him? Is there a mistake in the information?”
“It’s written, it can’t be wrong? Besides, we have seen his identity certificate. There is absolutely no mistake.”
Everyone had mixed feelings. Based on Lin Bai’s outstanding performance and strength, they had thought that he was at least at level 6 or level 7. However, they had never expected this.
There was a total of seventy to eighty people who came to the martial arts association this time, but only two of them had passed the advanced member test. Other than Lin Bai, there was also Luo Qin from another academy.
It was said that he was also a famous figure in their academy, and he always ranked at the top in every test.
Lin Bai looked at the advanced member card in his hand. It was made of high-quality ore amethyst, and it looked like it was carved with complicated and exquisite patterns. One look and one could tell that it was expensive.
This time, not only did he become a high-level member, but he also received 30,000 yuan from the registration fee. He could even buy the intermediate storage backpack much less the basic one.
Just as Lin Bai was leaving, he heard someone calling his name.
The man wore a light blue robe, and his hair was tied up with a purple gold crown. There was a jade pendant of the same color on his waist, and he looked very imposing.
Although there was a hint of arrogance between his brows, it was not annoying. It seemed that this was how it should be. He stood at the top of the mountain and looked down on all living things.
“Hello, I’m Luo Qin.”
Lin Bai had heard of Luo Qin’s name before. He was also a powerful character. He did not expect that his age was not much different from his.
On the other side, Luo Qin was also carefully sizing up Lin Bai. His eyes revealed a hint of admiration as he spoke with some regret.
“I heard them say just now that you’re not bad. It’s a pity that we weren’t in the same group just now. Otherwise, we could have sparred with each other.”
The two of them had not been assigned to the same test point previously, so they did not meet.
“In your school, the only people I want to make friends with are you and Chen Wu.”
Lin Bai only smiled faintly at this. “There’s still plenty of time in the future.”
Their gazes met in mid-air, and there seemed to be sparks flying out of nowhere. They actually felt like they had met their match.
Luo Qin’s expression of appreciation became even more pronounced. “Then I’ll wait and see.”
After the two of them bade farewell, Lin Bai went straight back to the store. Without hesitation, he chose an intermediate storage backpack. Not only did it have a larger capacity, but it also had a better preservation effect.
Looking at the high-level membership card that Lin Bai showed him, the shop assistant stared at him for a long time and couldn’t help but mutter to himself.
“Strange. This person even asked me about the membership card before, but he became a high-level member so quickly.”
He scratched his head and was puzzled. After all, everyone knew that the high-level membership card of the martial arts association was notoriously difficult to obtain. It was considered very good if only a few people in a hundred had it.
Moreover, the advanced membership card was bound to the person’s identity and had to be used by the person himself. Therefore, it was impossible to use other people recklessly.
After buying it, there was still half of the money left. Lin Bai was not in a hurry to go home and continued shopping.
However, there was a slight movement in his pocket. Little Green stuck its head out as if it was attracted by something. It clung to Lin Bai’s wrist and disappeared among the containers in a flash.
“Little Green!”
Lin Bai quickly chased after it but found its shadow by the side of the freezer. If one did not look carefully, one would think that it was a thin and long green leaf stuck to the cabinet.
“So you are here. Why are you running around making it hard for me to find you.”
Normally, Little Green would have returned to Lin Bai’s side a long time ago. However, it was staring at the freezer with its eyes fixed on it. White gas kept coming out of the freezer and accompanied by waves of coldness. Lin Bai did not know what was in it but it was actually so attractive to Little Green.
While he was puzzled, a shop assistant came over and explained, “This is spiritual water. It can effectively improve the quality of the pet beast in all aspects.”
No wonder it made Little Green salivate. So it was such a good thing.
Lin Bai could not help but laugh. “You really know how to find it. You can even smell it out. Even a dog’s nose is not as sharp as yours.”
Little Qing raised the tip of her tail and circled around Lin Bai’s hand in a fawning manner. Her eyes were filled with anticipation. With such a cute expression, he believed that no one would refuse.
“How much?”
“Two thousand per bottle.”
Upon hearing this price, Lin Bai immediately revealed a pained expression. Moreover, the entire bottle was not big. Even then, he still gritted his teeth and said, “Give me ten bottles.”
Hearing this, the shop assistant’s smile became even more enthusiastic. “Okay, I’ll wrap it up for you right away.”
Lin Bai had spent all the money he had earned previously. He brought the intermediate storage bag and the medicine back home. Little Green’s tail was wrapped around the medicine bottle. On the way, it was reluctant to leave, as if fearing that someone would snatch it away from it.
He fed Little Green a dozen drops first, but who would have thought that it would dive straight in. Lin Bai could not stop it even if he wanted to.
More than half of the bottle was gone in an instant. Little Green looked as if it was drunk, and its entire snake body became soft. It was not as cold as before, but it was actually a little hot.
“Little glutton, who told you to be so greedy?”
Seeing that Little Green was only in such a state because of the effects of the medicine, and that there were no other problems, Lin Bai finally felt at ease and began to transmit his cultivation.
