Under the rays of moonlight, Lin Han wore a green shirt. He sat down on the floor with a calm expression.

Right at this moment, his eyes remained tightly closed.

He was trying to build a bond with the Golden Spirit Fire in his mind in order to induce and activate his spiritual power.

During the Outer Residence Competition, Lin Xue unintentionally introduced Lin Han to a whole new field of martial arts full of mystery.

“Buzz”

Suddenly, Lin Han felt a quiver in his spirit.

His eyes remained closed, yet he was able to “see” that there was an ancient and vigorous Five-Claw Golden Dragon hovering above him in the sky.

The dragon’s roar shot up into the sky as if a crack of thunder exploded through time itself.

Lin Han was mildly taken aback. After he regained his focus, he realized that his spirit had left his physical body and had assimilated into the Five-Claw Golden Dragon on top of his head.

In an instant, Lin Han felt as if he had transformed into an ancient golden dragon, howling and lingering at high altitude, soaring higher into the sky.

Right then, his spirit became one with the ancient dragon. Lin Han’s dragon eyes glimmered and looked down.

He immediately saw that there was a delicate young man sitting at the pond below him, eyes tightly closed with a calm expression.

It was his own body!

‘Did my spirit.. Really leave my physical body?’ Lin Han thought.

This amazing scene was incredibly shocking for Lin Han.

The path of the Spirit Master was indeed mysterious and limitless.

“Tap tap”

Right at that moment, a servant from the Lin Clan Sect Residence walked past from a nearby place.

The servant saw Lin Han’s figure seated right beside the pond. His gaze was one of admiration. “To be training at this hour, he indeed deserves to be the master of the new generation in the Outer Residence!”

Having said that, the servant shook his head and left after exhaling a sigh.

During the entire process, the servant never knew that there was an ancient and powerful Five-Claw Golden Dragon right above the pond, in the form of a soul. The dragon’s eyes glimmered with extraordinary colors and it was fixated on him.

“As expected, normal warriors will not be able to notice my spirit and Spirit Beast,” Lin Han murmured.

Next, Lin Han looked at the servant again.

Lin Han then saw the spirit of the servant — It was very tiny, and it resided in his physical body.

Lin Han had a feeling that if he swung his dragon claw at the servant, that fragile spirit would be destroyed immediately.

“The path of the Spirit Master was indeed very mysterious. It’s hard to defend against these spiritually-related techniques.”

Lin Han exclaimed softly.

He then made the dragon soul disappear in the sky and his own spirit returned to his body.

At the same spot, Lin Han slowly opened his eyes.

He was very certain that his talent for becoming a Spirit Master was related to the Golden Spirit Fire.

This was because he understood that his potential had been next to nothing in the past.

It was the Golden Spirit Fire that transformed his entire Essence, Qi and Spirit. It even transformed his entire spiritual level.

“This morning, before Lin Xue left, he said he hoped that I could find my own way of training as a Spirit Master. It seemed that even the Spirit Master needs constant training to strengthen the power of the Spirit Beast and in turn kill silently.”

Lin Han murmured and immediately devoted his all to communicate with the Golden Spirit Fire in his mind.

He had a feeling that the Golden Spirit Fire contained the personalized Spirit Master training method that he needed.

However, after attempting for hours, his efforts were still in vain.

Within the darkness of his mind, the Golden Spirit Fire floated mid-air, burning in silence as if it would burn for eternity.

No matter how hard Lin Han tried to communicate, he still could not get his mind into the space contained by the Golden Spirit Fire, nor stimulate the Golden Spirit Fire in any way.

At that, the corner of Lin Han’s mouth twitched.

After a moment’s thought, Lin Han decided to give up on communicating with the Golden Spirit Fire. He had an obscure feeling that he needed a special opportunity before he could start his spiritual training.

Putting the matter of Spirit Master aside, Lin Han knew that the most important thing for him right then was to improve his strength in martial arts.

After all, the Outer Residence Competition would be quickly followed by the Inner Residence Martial Arts Tea Party.

His lack of time made things urgent.

..

The next day, Lin Han came out of the house and saw Xiao Nu, the maid, walked toward him with excitement on her face.

“Young Master! You.. Did you really come first in the Outer Residence?” The small face of Xiao Nu was filled with joy and excitement.

“That’s correct.” Lin Han smiled while nodding.

“Young Master you’re so great!”

Xiao Nu did not know how to express her excitement and ended up saying this with her cute tongue out.

“Is this where Lin Han stays?” Suddenly, a dignified voice appeared close by.

A few people came into the yard.

The one at the lead was a middle-aged man who wore elaborate clothing. His face was mighty even without anger, and the aura emanating his body was strong and powerful.

Was it him?

Lin Han recognized him immediately. The middle-aged man was the elder from Inner Residence that hosted the Outer Residence Competition.

“Good afternoon, Elder,” Lin Han respectfully greeted.

“The.. The elder?” A glint of terror flashed past Xiao Nu’s expression and hid her small body behind Lin Han.

She did not understand why these important people arrived at their small yard.

“You are not bad.”

The Elder knew about Lin Han’s talent. He smiled and said, “You must have had a difficult life this past year in the Outer Residence. Due to your astonishing performance in the Outer Residence Competition, the elders in the clan have allowed you to stay in the Inner Residence.”f

“To stay in the Inner Residence?”

Lin Han’s gaze betrayed a hint of shock and surprise.

The Inner Residence —was the real core of the Lin Clan Sect Residence. Many Inner Residence disciples from the main division and elders lived there.

If the Outer Residence were the slums of the residence, then the Inner Residence was the noble area.

Only members that contributed greatly to the clan were qualified to stay within it and enjoy the best treatment from the clan.

Right at this moment, he thought to himself, ‘According to the elder, I’m allowed to move into the Inner Residence?”

Even most of the disciples in the Inner Residence were only granted permission to train in the Inner Residence, but not the right to stay in it.

After a moment of silence, Lin Han started to realize the reason behind this development.

It seemed that his immense talent had caught the attention of the clan elders.

As expected, in this world, only the ones with real strength could speak. He needed to fight for everything he wanted.

A few days ago, he was still a petty and low Outer Residence disciple from the subdivision that no one cared about. At this moment, the core people within the clan were notifying him directly that he could stay in the Inner Residence.

There was a world of difference between the treatment he received before and after his rise.?.

Right then, seeing the shine in Lin Han’s gaze, the elder sighed in relief.

It would appear that Lin Han still had a sense of belonging towards the Lin Clan Sect Residence.

After Lin Han gained his powers, the clan elders studied his past and realized that he was bullied and looked down on by the main division of the residence in the past year.

The news had the elders immediately announce that the clan should put in their best efforts in building a relationship with Lin Han. They did not even hesitate to grant Lin Han direct entry to the Inner Residence in order to minimize the estrangement Lin Han might feel towards the clan.

In actual fact, the clan elders had been overthinking the matter.

When Lin Han left Changyun Village, his initial goal was to be successful in the main division of the residence and to go back to his village with pride and glory.

Deep down in his heart, he still had a sense of belonging towards the Lin Clan Sect Residence.

“After entering the Inner Residence, you will have the right to enjoy the best treatment in the clan.?Every month, the residence will distribute five hundred taels of gold and an Element Condensation Pill. Furthermore, the first floor of the martial arts hall will be fully opened to you.”

The words left by the Inner Residence elder before leaving made Lin Han feel mildly astonished. .

‘It seemed that the elders of the residence really put in the effort to make me feel at ease.’ Lin Han thought

Xiao Nu, on the other hand, had never been so shocked before.

‘Since when did my Young Master become so important to the clan elders??’

However, the fact that they were moving to the Inner Residence brought her over the moon.

In Xiao Nu’s heart, the Inner Residence surrounded by green mountains and clear water, with pavilions and halls built around it was the best place in the world.

“Xiao Nu, go pack our belongings. We are moving into the Inner Residence!”

Lin Han looked at the excited girl beside him and said while he laughed.
