"Yes, our Thunder Palace has been passed down for thousands of years and has always stood at the top of the Nine Provinces. We have not fallen to the point where we need to rely on outsiders to continue our Thunder Palace heritage. This time, I can give him, an outsider, the qualification to participate in the Thunder Palace trial. This is already a favor to Jiang Han!"
"Those who have awakened abilities other than thunder attribute cannot enter our Thunder Palace. Rules are rules. Jiang Han, let your student leave as soon as possible after he completes the trial!"
Before coming here, Lin Tianming had thought that he might not be welcomed, but he did not expect that these stubborn elders of the Thunder Palace would speak so harshly in front of so many important figures from Jiuzhou.
Moreover, even when all the bigwigs in Kyushu expressed their admiration for him, these old guys still played the bad guy.
Now Lin Tianming finally understood why Jiang Han hated these old guys so much.
Because they have stayed in the mountain for too long, their brains have become corrupted, and they act as if they think Leiming Palace is the best in the world and look down on everyone.
Since they don't recognize him, then Lin Tianming doesn't care.
What a lousy Thunder Palace. It has been passed down for thousands of years, but there hasn't been a single person who has become a god. Are all the people in the Thunder Palace pigs?
"Since the Thunder Palace has been passed down for thousands of years and is so powerful, why is the strongest awakened force in the world in the Northern Yin Region, rather than Jiuzhou where the behemoth Thunder Palace is in charge?"
Lin Tianming did not tolerate these self-righteous elders of the Thunder Palace, and he gave them a head-on blow right away.
As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the elders in the Thunder Hall, who had originally not taken Lin Tianming seriously, all changed color.
Seeing that they were speechless for a moment, Lin Tianming continued, "In the past hundred years, when other regions were bullying Jiuzhou, where was the Thunder Palace, the number one force that claimed to be the guardian of Jiuzhou?"
Faced with Lin Tianming's aggressive questioning, the old guys in Leiming Hall really didn't expect that he was so eloquent at such a young age.
For a moment, they were unable to organize the words to counter Lin Tianming's questions in time.
But Jiang Han just wanted to watch the fun at this time and stood firmly beside Lin Tianming.
“A hundred years ago, the Thunder Palace was challenged by a master sent from Xiluo Territory. He kicked the mountain gate to pieces and broke through all the way from the foot of the mountain to the forbidden area of the Thunder Palace.
Over the past hundred years, the Thunder Palace has been attacked by top awakeners from various domains who came to challenge it. If it weren't for the palace protector Purple Thunder Phoenix, the Thunder Palace would have been destroyed long ago.
Jiuzhou's rise in recent years was not due to the Thunder Palace, but to the geniuses of other forces in Jiuzhou, which led to its current strength and status second only to the Northern Yin Territory."
The young master of the Thunder Palace recounted the humiliating history of the Thunder Palace being beaten by geniuses from various domains in the past hundred years, which immediately made the elders of the Thunder Palace blush with anger.
"Jiang Han, please be aware of your identity as the Young Palace Master of Thunder Palace when you say these things. Is this something you, the Young Palace Master, can say?"
"Jiang Han, you actually said such words for an outsider who is not from our Thunder Palace. Is this how you act as the Young Palace Master?"
"I said it at the beginning, no matter how talented Jiang Han is, it's useless. She has a rebellious nature and is not suitable to be the successor of my Thunder Palace! The old palace master insisted on choosing her as the successor against all odds. Now you see it, don't you? He criticized my Thunder Palace in front of so many outsiders!"
"The Thunder Palace needs people who understand and abide by the rules. No matter how talented such a person is, he is not suitable to be the master of our Thunder Palace!"
The other younger generations of the Leiming Palace present at the scene were all ashamed to raise their heads because Jiang Han mentioned the history of the Leiming Palace's decline.
However, they didn't think Jiang Han had said anything wrong, because what Jiang Han said was true.
They stay in the mountains all year round, complacent and self-contained, considering themselves the guardians of Kyushu's thousand-year heritage and looking down on outsiders from other parts of Kyushu.
Little did they know that the Thunder Palace had already declined, but they had been deceiving themselves with its past glory.
Other forces in Jiuzhou have already caught up and taken up the banner of protecting Jiuzhou.
It was only recently that the genius Jiang Han emerged from the Thunder Hall that made them feel that the Thunder Hall was about to rise again and restore the confidence that had been suppressed for so many years.
He was even a little inflated, claiming that this was the Thunder Palace with a thousand-year-old heritage that would never decline.
The Kyushu bigwigs at the scene didn't say much. At this time, people like them could just watch the show.
Just when there was an internal fight in the Thunder Hall, another old man from the Thunder Hall walked out of the hall.
"Who dares to question my choice of Jiang Han as my successor?"
Compared with other elders of Thunder Palace, the aura of this old man of Thunder Palace is even more terrifying.
Obviously, although they are all top-level awakeners, there is a gap between them.
When the important figures of Kyushu at the scene saw the old man coming out, they all showed expressions of respect.
"Meet the Master of Thunder Palace. I am the current head of the Feng Family!"
As Feng Lan's father took the lead in showing respect to Palace Master Lei Ming, other important figures in Jiuzhou did not dare to neglect Palace Master Lei Ming in any way.
Jiang Han also said respectfully: "Master!"
Because the Leiming Hall has been secluded in the mountains for many years, its rules are very old. When accepting disciples, they do not like the outside world to call each other teacher and student, but prefer to call each other master and apprentice.
The other elders of Thunder Palace immediately complained to the Lord of Thunder Palace and asked him to punish Jiang Han for speaking for outsiders.
"Old Palace Master, you don't know that Jiang Han just recounted my various humiliating histories over the past hundred years in front of so many outsiders just for the wild disciple she took in outside. You must punish her!"
"That's right, old Palace Master. You usually spoil her too much. If you don't punish her, what will happen to her when she becomes the Palace Master in the future?"
The Lord of Thunder Palace released terrifying power in an instant and glanced coldly at the group of Thunder Palace elders.
"Is Jiang Han wrong? The Thunder Palace has indeed declined over the past century. Even after it declined, it still cannot recognize that it is complacent and living in the glory created by its ancestors, deceiving itself. It deserves that the Thunder Palace has been bullied by geniuses from various domains in your generation!"
After being scolded by the Lord of Thunder Palace, the elders of Thunder Palace who wanted to complain at the scene suddenly felt ashamed and their faces turned red, feeling embarrassed.
If Young Palace Master Jiang Han scolded them, they could still refute.
But when the Lord of Thunder Palace scolded them, they really didn't dare to talk back.
Finally, these pedantic old guys shut up, and Palace Master Leiming looked at Jiang Han.
"Han'er, you've done a great job. If my Thunder Palace wants to regain its former glory, it needs talents like you. Is this child the student you accepted from outside?"
"Yes, Master!"
Jiang Han responded respectfully. He still respected her mentor, Palace Master Lei Ming, very much.
After getting Jiang Han's affirmation, the Lord of Thunder Palace couldn't help but look at Lin Tianming a few more times.
"Very good, he has reached level 39 at such a young age. This talent is truly unprecedented. Han'er, you have a very good eye for people. I am looking forward to his performance in the subsequent Thunder Palace trials!"
Lin Tianming was quite surprised to hear the appreciative comments from Jiang Han's master, Palace Master Lei Ming.
Although they were both old guys, the Lord of Thunder Palace was much more open-minded than those elders of Thunder Palace who only had pedantic rules in their heads! Under Lin Tianming's gaze, the Lord of Thunder Palace looked at Jiang Han again.
"Oh, right, Han'er, I saw a strange phenomenon just now. It seems that the Purple Thunder Phoenix, the guardian of the palace, has brought down an auspicious sign that has not been seen in a thousand years. You were outside just now. Can you tell me what happened?"
"Of course, Master!"
After responding, Jiang Han told her master, the hall master, all the facts that the auspicious sign brought down by the Purple Thunder Phoenix was because of Lin Tianming.
After listening carefully to Jiang Han's words, the Lord of Thunder Palace suddenly showed an expression of disbelief.
"Han'er, are you sure that the Purple Thunder Phoenix brought down auspicious signs because of this student you took in, Lin Tianming?"
Jiang Han affirmed: "It is absolutely true. There were so many people watching at the time. If you don't believe it, you can ask them, Master!"
Feng Lan also interjected: "I can testify that it was Tianming who caused the auspicious sign, and he also received the permanent power protection of the Purple Thunder Phoenix!"
Other young people at the scene also expressed their affirmation.
Seeing that they were all so sure, the old face of Thunder Palace Master suddenly became excited as if he had seen a treasure.
"The permanent power protection of the Purple Thunder Phoenix? Come on... let me see it, good boy!"
Lin Tianming also nodded, and displayed his Purple Thunder Phoenix's permanent power protection in front of the Thunder Palace's high-level officials and the bigwigs of Jiuzhou.
Witnessing with their own eyes that Lin Tianming had truly received the permanent power protection of the Purple Thunder Phoenix, the high-ranking officials of the Thunder Palace and the bigwigs of Jiuzhou were all shocked.
Not only did Lin Tianming trigger the Purple Thunder Phoenix to bring down auspicious signs, he even actually received the permanent power protection of the Purple Thunder Phoenix.
This is an honor that even the first master of the Thunder Palace a thousand years ago had never received!
After a brief shock, the more Lord Leiming looked at Lin Tianming, the more he liked him.
"Good...very good! The fact that you have been recognized by the Purple Thunder Phoenix shows that you are destined to be with my Thunder Palace. Child, are you willing to join my Thunder Palace?"
As soon as the Lord of Thunder Palace said this, it immediately aroused fierce opposition from the elders of Thunder Palace present.
"Palace Master, you absolutely cannot do that! Thunder Palace has never accepted anyone who has not passed the assessment, not to mention that he is not an awakened thunder attribute ability, so he cannot enter my Thunder Palace!"
"Old Palace Master, please think twice. You can't break the thousand-year-old rule set by our ancestors!"
"Those who have awakened abilities other than thunder attribute cannot enter my Thunder Palace. Thunder Palace is a holy place for those who have awakened abilities other than thunder attribute. How can you accept a person who has awakened abilities other than thunder attribute into my Thunder Palace? Please think twice!"
Faced with the opposition from the elders of Thunder Hall, the Lord of Thunder Hall suddenly turned cold and released terrifying thunder power from his body, scaring the elders of Thunder Hall so much that they trembled all over.
"Am I the Palace Master, or are you the Palace Masters? Do I need you to teach me how to do things?"
In order to intimidate these old guys who only knew how to abide by the old rules and wait for death, the Lord of Thunder Palace showed Lin Tianming his kind grandfatherly smile again.
"Little guy, you are Han'er's student from outside, and now you have been blessed with the permanent power of the Thunder Palace Guardian, which means that you are destined to be with my Thunder Palace. I am willing to break the old rules of the Thunder Palace for you. Are you willing to join my Thunder Palace?"
Jiang Han was overjoyed to see her master invite her beloved student to join the Thunder Palace.
Just when everyone at the scene thought that Lin Tianming would agree to join the Thunder Palace which had been passed down for thousands of years, he shook his head.
"I refuse."
