"Join our Ice Sect?"

Lin Shuang's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.

You have to understand, ever since the Cold Sect rose to power these past years, suppressing the Ice Sect, very few people have joined the Ice Sect.

In fact, within a year, the Ice Sect can only admit a dozen members.

If this continues, the Ice Sect might not even need to be defeated by the Cold Sect, it would be extinguished due to the lack of sect members.

After all, the foundation of a sect lies in its disciples.

This is fundamental.

"Bring her here," Lin Shuang said with a hint of excitement in her voice.

Currently, entering the Ice Sect is actually much simpler than any other time.

On one hand, the body must contain the Ice Attribute.

On the other hand, it's a matter of personal characteristics.

As long as these two conditions are met, one can directly enter the Ice Sect.

"Yes."

A disciple from the Ice Sect immediately started to take action upon hearing this.

Very soon.

The disciple who was just speaking with Lin Shuang brought someone before her.

Lin Shuang saw the person in front of her and was slightly dumbfounded.

The visitor was a man.

In the Ice Sect, apart from Wang Ye, there were no other male disciples.

And Wang Ye also entered the Ice Sect because he was the illegitimate child of Meng Qian and possessed one hundred percent Ice Attribute.

But now.

There's a man wanting to join the Ice Sect.

"Hello, Senior Sister Lin."

The man smiled upon seeing Lin Shuang and greeted her warmly, saying, "My name is Shi Qian, a Fifth-Rank Early Stage Cultivator, wishing to join the Ice Sect."

A Fifth-Rank Early Stage Cultivator…

Upon hearing this, Lin Shuang frowned slightly, her eyes wary as she scrutinized Shi Qian.

This was not surprising considering Lin Shuang didn't trust Shi Qian.

After all, Shi Qian was a Fifth-Rank Early Stage Cultivator, looking so young that it was easy to judge that he possessed great talent.

If it was before, someone with such talent willing to join the Ice Sect would not have surprised Lin Shuang.

But now, things are different.

The Ice Sect has fallen.

Not to mention prodigies, even ordinary disciples, many have chosen not to enter the Ice Sect.

Yet Shi Qian decided to join the Ice Sect.

Hardly needing more thought, Lin Shuang's mind conjured up three words: "There's something fishy."

Seeing Lin Shuang's hesitation, Shi Qian hurriedly explained: "Although the Ice Sect has declined, I've heard that there is a Saint Heir in the Sect."

"My family told me that when the Ice Sect has a Saint Heir, it's different from other times. Once the Saint Heir advances to Fourth Grade Cultivator, the Ice Sect will be on a fast track to resurgence."

Having said all this, Shi Qian's expression was a mix of of course and slight embarrassment, glancing at Lin Shuang, he finally spoke honestly:

"That's why I want to come and seize some opportunities."

Shi Qian's words sounded somewhat brazen, born of a desire to take advantage, yet Lin Shuang felt a bit relieved upon hearing this.

She's not afraid of those seeking small advantages.

Opportunism is a common trait.

All that is needed is to maintain loyalty while being opportunistic.

Lin Shuang feared someone like Shi Qian having undisclosed intentions upon directly entering the Ice Sect.

Besides, the presence of a Saint Heir and the prospects upon reaching certain strength levels, leading to a resurgence period, is not a secret within Spirit Star.

Many people from previous aristocratic families within Spirit Star are aware of this fact.

Only…

Lin Shuang still felt something was wrong.

Meeting Shi Qian's gaze, Lin Shuang finally spoke: "I cannot decide on recruiting disciples into the Ice Sect."

"After this battle between Wang Ye and Zhou Lun, I will bring you to meet Saint Heir Wang Ye and Elder Meng. They will make the decision then."

Lin Shuang's words made Shi Qian nod slightly.

Shi Qian also understood that for a prodigy like himself to suddenly arrive and want to join the Ice Sect, it would inevitably raise suspicions.

He immediately said no more.

Lin Shuang then cast a puzzled glance towards Wang Ye's side.

Truth be told, Lin Shuang didn't initially know that Wang Ye had been injured today.

Lin Shuang didn't know how Wang Ye got injured.

As for what Wang Ye said about being injured during challenging training within the Ice Sect the previous night due to its high difficulty level.

It may fool others present.

But it did not fool her.

After all, she lived right next to Wang Ye.

Last night, Wang Ye was honestly in his room, and did not go out.

When Wang Ye returned, he was not injured at all.

At that time, Lin Shuang was even worried Wang Ye might have been in some trouble, so upon leaving Wang Ye yesterday night, she checked his physical state.

But now…

How did Wang Ye get injured?

This morning, she had matters to handle, so she did not accompany Wang Ye here.

Thinking about this, Lin Shuang suddenly felt some annoyance.

She should have come with Wang Ye!

If she had come with Wang Ye, he wouldn't have been injured by now.

But what Lin Shuang didn't know was that Wang Ye was already injured last night.

Two hours passed quickly.

In these two hours, one purpose was to allow Wang Ye's body some recovery time.

The second aspect is that consuming elixirs is not allowed before a contest.

After all, who knows what you're consuming in those elixirs.

If it's something that could temporarily enhance strength significantly, it would be unfair to the opponent.

And over two hours.

Even if Wang Ye took something that could briefly enhance his strength, its effects would have dissipated after two hours.

Wang Ye stood up, glanced at Zhou Lun below.

At this moment, Wang Ye's complexion was not as pale as when he first arrived, but had returned to normal, giving off a robust aura.

"I have recovered from my injuries and can begin the challenge."

Zhou Lun heard this, stepped forward to the platform.

He looked at Wang Ye, smiled as he spoke to Wang Ye.
