These sudden thoughts appeared in Luo Tian’s mind when he found Lin Dong.
But these thoughts were merely his daydreams.
After encountering Hai Yulong, he realized how strong the Hai family was.
Since the Ancient World was a place where power was king, then why not establish a force of his own? A brand new force that were kings among the strong. This force he was going to establish was going to surpass all the king-level forces and reach something like transcendent-level existence.
Discovering Lin Dong was only the beginning.
Luo Tian was very clear that since the system allowed him to trigger such a quest, there should be follow-up quests after that. Xiao Yan, Lin Lei, Luo Feng, Tang San… All these awesome novel protagonists might appear before him!
How can he not become a transcendent force with all these awesome protagonists from the novels?
It was absolutely going to happen, and it was necessary for it to happen.
Wasn’t the Hai family very strong?
A peak king level existence, right?
Then let’s crush them with his own power!
Use a transcendent level force to suppress them, and see what qualifications they have to continue acting arrogant!
Lin Dong smiled and replied, “Of course I want to. Who doesn’t want to become a student of the Misty Cloud Academy? You have to know that Misty Cloud Academy is the highest level school in this world, a sacred place for every martial artist. Being able to enter the Misty Cloud Academy is something a person can be proud of for a lifetime!”
“But a single quota in the black market has reached more than 300,000 xuan coins. And that’s the purported price because there is no stock. Which family would sell their quota? Everyone wants to give it a shot. Once someone succeeds, even if you only manage to enter the second stage of the competition, the influence around you would still reach a very high level.”
Luo Tian smiled, “It’s fine as long as you want to. You don’t need to worry about anything else that comes after.”
Lin Dong was instantly shocked. He looked at Luo Tian in agitation, “Boss, could it be that you managed to get me a selection spot?”
Luo Tian replied, “As a boss, I naturally have to look out for my little brother. Hahaha…”
The Towering Cloud City didn’t have a lot of cultivation resources.
It was even rarer for a rogue cultivator.
Towering Cloud City would only bury Lin Dong’s talent.
Luo Tian didn’t want Lin Dong’s talent to go to waste. Even if the whole world’s super geniuses fused together, they still couldn’t compare with him. He was like a piece of uncut gem that would absolutely blind everyone’s eyes once it was carved and polished.
Lin Dong was so moved that he almost cried. He was very clear about how precious a selection slot was. His heart tightened upon thinking about how Luo Tian was treating him. He then said with gratitude, “In the future, no matter how much I, Lin Dong, achieve and how far I can go in the martial path, you will always be my boss. I will always and forever be your little brother!”
“Ding!”
A system alert suddenly sounded off in Luo Tian’s mind.
“Congratulations to player Luo Tian for accepting your first disciple, Lin Dong!”
Disciple: Lin Dong
Level: Condensation Element 3rd rank
Potential: Five star
Nurturing: Five star
Lin Dong’s attributes all appeared in Luo Tian’s mind.
The Disciple System has been activated!
This was a new feature of the level 2 system.
Luo Tian was secretly rejoicing inside. He once again affirmed, “Sure enough, sure enough! His potential value is five stars! Based on this alone, he is definitely the Lin Dong in Wu Dong Qian Kun! The strongest little brother legion is about to be born, hahaha…”
Excitement!
Luo Tian was justifiably excited.
Luo Tian patted Lin Dong’s shoulder and said, “There’s no need to mention being a little brother, etc. We are all brothers. Since we’re brothers, then we need to take care of each other.”
Luo Tian was laughing uncontrollably inside. Lin Dong was his little brother!
This was similar to tripping over a treasure!
Lin Dong nodded, “Got it, boss!”
“Creak~!” The sound of a door opening was heard.
Finally, the doors to the Misty Cloud Academy’s Towering Cloud City branch opened up.
Two old men walked out.
One of the old men, dressed in white robes, walked forward with a slight smile and said, “The enrollment begins!”
“It’s finally starting.”
“Master, quickly come over and line up. Stand in front of me.” Bai Xiong waved his hand.
Luo Tian glanced at Lin Dong and said, “Let’s go sign up.”
Lin Dong immediately followed behind Luo Tian.
Bai Lingling glanced at Lin Dong with surprise in her eyes. She then asked Luo Tian, “You gave the quota to him?”
Luo Tian didn’t stand in front of Bai Xiong and said, “What about it? Do you know him?”
Lin Dong smiled bitterly, “I am the trash of Towering Cloud City, so anyone in my generation knows of me. Miss Bai naturally knows who I am.”
Among his own peers, there was no one who didn’t recognize Lin Dong.
In many people’s eyes, he was a piece of trash that couldn’t cultivate. It was kind of like Luo Tian when he first arrived on the Tianxuan Continent. Nearly everyone treated him like a useless wastrel.
Luo Tian smiled and said, “It’s good you know each other. More people will know you in the future, and more people will be stepped on by you. Don’t worry about the past because the future is what’s important.”
Bai Lingling didn’t say anything.
Bai Xiong extended his hand to Lin Dong and said with a smile, “I am Bai Xiong, Boss Luo Tian’s disciple, heh heh.”
Lin Dong shook his hand, “I am Lin Dong!”
Bai Xiong was able to get acquainted with anyone very quickly. Right after introducing himself, he pulled Lin Dong over in front of himself and said, “You stand in front of me.”
Being ranked early was very important because it could determine one’s life and death.
Bai Xiong looked like he didn’t care too much, which made Lin Dong feel grateful. But he knew clearly that Luo Tian had given all of this to him.
Upon seeing them chatting happily, Bai Lingling said softly, “Don’t you know that he can’t cultivate? Even if he gets a spot in the selection, he will only end up suffering from humiliation. You aren’t helping him but harming him.”
Luo Tian replied, “That’s all in the past. From today onward, his name will resound throughout the Ancient World. Maybe even realms in all directions.”
Bai Lingling was briefly stunned, as she didn’t understand what was inside Luo Tian’s head.
She didn’t say anything more on that subject.
The group slowly went forward.
The Deng family disciples were right at the front, followed by the other three great families. The Bai family was last.
Every disciple would receive a wooden sign after reporting their name. There was a string of numbers written on the wooden sign, a code that represented a person’s identity. The assessment would be based on this wooden sign.
“Next!”
“Next!”
The old man made some calculations before lowering his head to write down the name while a disciple on the side handed over the xuan coins. Over a dozen people had done this, so the old man had received hundreds of thousands of xuan coins by now. This was all blatant, like a normal transaction.
“My lord, this is a small token of appreciation from my Ouyang family. I hope your lordship can accept it.” Ouyang Hong said respectfully. He was very careful with his words as if he was afraid of upsetting the old man.
The white-robed old man glanced at the large pile of xuan coins and didn’t reveal any particular expression. He just coldly said, “Put it there. Next!”
A completely unappreciative look like he was originally owed that money.

(T/N: I’m not sure why it’s called the disciple system because he’s not teaching them anything. I would call it a Gang System or something similar because they call him boss.)
