The number of people on the third level of the Trial Tower was even greater than that on the second level... there were nearly forty people there.
Each of them stood quietly in front of the jade slip trial, sending out their divine senses to perceive it.
Clearly, they all came with the aim of improving their skills in talismanic arts.
Naturally, Lin Xiuyuan's arrival caused a stir of surprise.
However, many of them are already senior disciples, and they are not far from reaching the fourth level.
Disciples at this level are mostly senior disciples whose mastery of talismanic arts is already quite profound. Their ability to earn contribution points far surpasses that of the newcomers. Therefore, they rarely go to the Lingxiao Dojo anymore. Their methods of improvement are mainly through the Lingxiao Pavilion and the Trial Tower, except when a certain elder with unparalleled mastery of talismanic arts gives a lecture.
However, it is clear that the Lingxiao Dojo rarely has such important figures giving lectures.
Only a handful of people with less seniority recognized Lin Xiuyuan because they frequently attended classes at the Lingxiao Dojo.
For a moment, when these people saw Lin Xiuyuan appear on the third floor of the Trial Tower, they were stunned and shocked. Their eyes were filled with disbelief, as if they had seen a ghost.
The fact that this speculation represents is so unbelievable and shocking!
"Lin, Junior Brother Lin? How did you get to the third floor? Could it be that the first two floors..."
"Impossible, right? Are you here to find someone, or...aren't you a newly recruited disciple?"
Lin Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said calmly and casually, "I recently had a lucky epiphany and my talisman skills have greatly improved, which is why I broke through two levels of trials at once."
"this……???"
The group was taken aback upon hearing this, but after a moment of enlightenment, they broke through two levels of the Trial Tower.
Are you kidding me?
They could certainly tell that Lin Xiuyuan was being modest, but that only made them more shocked.
During the early stages of advancement, he even passed two levels of the Trial Tower?
Such a thing is simply unheard of.
They weren't like the disciples on the next level, who were of similar generation to Lin Xiuyuan.
Those who are able to reach the third level and then attempt to break through to the fourth level are basically disciples who have passed two or more sessions.
That means they'll stay on the main peak for at least fifty or sixty years!
He is already a senior disciple of Lingxiao!
Coincidentally, they were not much different in generation from their senior sister and senior brother Zhong Qian.
Therefore, it is very clear that even at the level of the senior sister, a prodigy at the fifth level.
No one has ever been able to pass both levels of the Trial Tower during the newcomer stage!
Perhaps those few prodigies who broke through to the Purple Mansion stage and were on the sixth floor of the Trial Tower had such achievements, but their seniority was too great to know for sure.
The only comparable figures right now are undoubtedly the prodigies of their generation...
The contrast is stark; it's like comparing a universally acknowledged prodigy like Senior Sister Wang Qiuhe!
The fastest senior sister to break through the second level and reach the third level was Wang Qiuhe, who broke through the second level of the Trial Tower exactly one year after the newcomer period.
However, how long has Lin Xiuyuan been on the main peak?
All told, it's only been five or six years, right?
So we've already reached the third level?
This is unbelievable!!
Even the most prodigious senior sister in the contemporary era only broke through the second level of the Trial Tower a year after passing the newcomer period.
And Lin Xiuyuan... could it be that his talent is even more terrifying than that of his senior sister?
Can they compare to those previous generation's prodigies who broke through to the Purple Mansion stage early on?
Unbelievable!
This greatly shocked all the older disciples.
Facing disciples who were five or six generations younger than him and were still newcomers, he was now on the same level as them.
This... one can imagine how complicated everyone's feelings were, and how turbulent the waves of emotion surged within them.
Lin Xiuyuan exchanged a few polite words, and while everyone was still in shock, he turned and went to the jade slip trial area. He sent out his divine sense to sense how difficult the third level of the trial was, and whether it could be as helpful as he had imagined.
But for a moment, Lin Xiuyuan saw that this had caused such a commotion, and wondered if this move was a bit too much. Even the older disciples on the third floor were so shocked, it seemed a bit too astonishing.
After all, the first two levels are all disciples who are newly promoted, basically within one generation, which is about thirty years.
Therefore, it is quite normal that Lin Xiuyuan's mastery of talismanic arts would surprise the Lingxiao disciples.
But now, even these senior disciples are showing such expressions and shock...
"Could it be that no one in the Lingxiao lineage has ever done such a thing? If so, it is indeed too eye-catching."
Lin Xiuyuan thought with some concern.
However, now that he is a disciple of Lingxiao, he is merely displaying his talent, not some supreme treasure, so there should be no problem. On the contrary, this may help him achieve his goal.
Therefore, even if they lose the grand competition, their talent, once revealed, can still bring about a turning point...
Not long after, the senior brothers who had recovered from the jade slip trial were not familiar with Lin Xiuyuan. Seeing their fellow disciples around them so shocked, they couldn't help but ask him questions out of curiosity.
"What's going on? Who is he? Is he that ancestor's disciple? Why do you all look so shocked!"
“This Junior Brother Lin is a newly recruited disciple of our Lingxiao lineage. Senior brothers, you haven’t been to the Lingxiao Dojo in recent years, so you don’t know him very well.”
Someone replied.
Upon seeing this, the senior disciple who had asked the question couldn't help but become curious and said, "Oh? Then how come this new disciple is... a new disciple??"
