Chapter 870: Rhine Lifeform's Sheng Yin

A tall girl followed right behind Zuo Ming and You Zhe.

She looked to be about 25 years old, had mature features, an elegant figure, and seemed to be pondering a question as she walked.

She quickened her pace to catch up to You Zhe and asked, "Lord You Zhe, how long did the first and second place winners of the Arts Stage component take to finish their topics?"

You Zhe told her tall girl how long Lin Yuan and Zong Ze had taken.

The entire area outside the Midnight Palace had quietened when Zuo Ming and You Zhe emerged from the long corridor.

The girl was not far from Lin Yuan, and the area outside the Midnight Palace was rather quiet. As such, Lin Yuan clearly heard what she had said.

His eyebrow twitched.

In spite of her mature features, the tall girl had a very child-like and high-pitched voice.

Lin Yuan could sense strong ripples from the tall girl's vitality.

He found the ripples of vitality to be extremely familiar.

Whenever Lin Yuan used the Jasmine Lily's Vitality Imprint, his body became the conductor of the enormous amount of vitality and would continue to radiate vitality even after all the vitality in the Vitality Imprint had been depleted.

The tall girl must have used some sort of secret weapon while completing her topic for the Arts Stage component.

If Lin Yuan's calculation was accurate, she had taken 39 minutes and 27 seconds to complete the topic.

This meant that she had been three minutes quicker than Long Tao. Evidently, she possessed strong Creation Master powers.

The tall girl was wearing green spirit qi clothes that had hundreds of images of healing-type feys on them.

The images did not seem to be printed with any pattern, but they made the green spirit qi clothes stand out in a charming way.

Lin Yuan knew that this tall girl came from the top faction Rhine Lifeform from the icons on her collar.

Rhine Lifeform had unquestionable authority and respect in the Radiance Federation.

Every three years, there was a re-ranking of top factions.

In the last century, Rhine Lifeform had remained securely amongst the top three, and the furthest they had ever fallen was from first place to third place.

Rhine Lifeforce's Rhine Guild Club was the champions of last year's S Tournament.

Long Tao noticed Lin Yuan staring at the tall girl from Rhine Lifeforce and said, "That girl's name is Sheng Yin. She's the young disciple with the most potential in Rhine Lifeforce and the one carrying the entire younger generation of Rhine Lifeforce on her back. Although she isn't in the Radiance Hundred Sequence, she is well known amongst the young disciples and leads Rhine Guild Club's team during tournaments. Despite never fighting, she handles all of the Rhine Guild Club's combat strategies."

Lin Yuan immediately thought of Shi Xu.

Shi Xu was Sequence #8 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence and a member of the Rhine Guild Club's main team.

"Given Sheng Yin's age and power, she's definitely up to the standard of the Radiance Hundred Sequence. However, she has never entered the selection. If she did, White Devil would never be crowned as the strongest healing-type spirit qi professional in the Radiance Hundred Sequence. Rumor has it that Sheng Yin possesses an Order of Radiant Light. Taking into consideration the limitations of healing-type spirit qi professionals' abilities, Sheng Yin can very well become one of the ten Radiance Knights even if she fails to become a Radiance Envoy," said Long Tao with a hint of fear in his voice.

Lin Yuan sensed that Long Tao saw Sheng Yin as his rival and made a mental note of her name.

After the disciples following Zuo Ming and You Zhe dispersed, the girls crowded around Sheng Yin.

Sheng Yin smiled sweetly and greeted every girl around her. She seemed to be very popular.

According to the Martial Arts Stage's rules, she had officially achieved third place in the Martial Arts Stage and did not need to participate in the Martial Stage component.

She would be able to receive the third-place prize of 90 drops of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar that could cleanse a body's impurities and 10 drops that could cleanse a soul's impurities.

All the attention inside and out of the Midnight Palace was now focused on Lin Yuan and Zong Ze.

Lin Yuan felt his passion rising within him.

He had spent the last few months increasing his power and secret weapons for the sake of the impending battle.

In contrast to Lin Yuan's passion, the battle fanatic Zong Ze was extremely calm now after smelling that special fragrance.

For some reason, Zong Ze was completely entranced by this special fragrance. Or rather, he really liked the feeling of standing next to this young man.

The final battle of the Martial Arts Stage would be between him and Lin Yuan, and he would probably be unable to smell this fragrance during the fight.

At that time, his bad habit would flare up again, and the thrill of battle would completely and uncontrollably consume him.

After Zong Ze had completed his topic for the Arts Stage component, he had naturally assumed that he had secured first place.

It was only afterward that he found out that the first place had already been snatched from him. Hence, Zong Ze was focused on someone else for once and wanted to know who the first-place winner was.

He did not expect the winner to have been that young man with the scent that could soothe his bad luck.

In a way, Zong Ze felt that a special kind of fate connected him and Lin Yuan.

Nonetheless, he was a very competitive person and was determined to make a comeback after his loss during the Arts Stage component.

Zuo Ming walked toward the area where the Martial Stage had been held and announced, "The Arts Stage component of the Martial Arts Stage has officially ended. Lord Lin Yuan and Lord Zong Ze, please come onto the Martial Stage to complete the Martial Stage component of the Martial Arts Stage."

Zuo Ming's words made the veteran and top factions' young disciples inhale sharply when they heard Zuo Ming address Lin Yuan as 'Lord Lin Yuan'.
