Ms. Diviner: The Prodigal Daughter's Return-Chapter 1110: Arrogant or Confident?

The Spirit Summoning Beast Language was intermittent, unable to form a complete spell. The handprints were also flickering, making it impossible for anyone to fathom, let alone grasp them.

The sound kept echoing in her mind, and the handprints flashed uncontrollably. Han Yan couldn’t help but worry whether continuing like this would affect her cultivation or even cause her to lose control.

From the looks of it, the only way to prevent any accidents is to fully comprehend the Spirit Summoning Beast Language and the Beast God Contract.

Han Yan had long noticed that although the memory inheritance left by the Aolai Divine Beast was imprinted in the depths of her mind, she couldn’t detect any sealing aura. In other words, she couldn’t comprehend those memories by unsealing them, and could only gradually integrate them. Unfortunately, the integration process was too slow, and it had been quite a while since she left Flying Peak without discovering any special Divine Beast memory she had integrated.

Han Yan speculated that to integrate the Divine Beast memories, she would either need greater strength or some opportune coincidence to trigger those memories.

The Palace Guardian Beast Soul in the Beast Soul Hall seemed to be such a coincidence. It was because of the familiar yet distant divine sense, filled with resentment, that triggered the memory inheritance of the Aolai Divine Beast, allowing her to once again comprehend the Spirit Summoning Beast Language and Beast God Contract.

Unfortunately, as soon as the Beast Soul appeared, it was heavily suppressed by the seal of the Beast Soul Tower, leaving her comprehension incomplete, possibly less than half-complete.

To fully comprehend it, she probably still needed the help of that Palace Guardian Beast Soul.

Of course, if given the choice, Han Yan wouldn’t want to take the risk. But with the Spirit Summoning Beast Language intermittently echoing in her mind and the alternating flashes of handprints, she was restless. If she didn’t comprehend them soon, who knew what might happen.

"Have you thought it through? Do you really want to go?" Hall Master Qin asked, staring intently at Han Yan.

He could tell that Han Yan was not joking nor acting on impulse; she was determined.

"Indeed, please grant my wish, Hall Master," Han Yan nodded solemnly.

In others’ eyes, the guardian beast soul’s fury today seemed odd, so even the mentors were unwilling to risk it. But Han Yan understood the reason behind it and did not find it strange.

Moreover, the guardian beast soul, previously restricted by the seal, might have suffered some damage. For her, this was a great opportunity, and taking the trial now was advantageous compared to later.

"Strike while the iron is hot," there’s no way Lady Mu would miss such a chance.

Besides these reasons, there was an even more critical point. She could sense that the Spirit Summoning Beast Language and the Beast God Contract in her mind had significant suppressive power over the beast soul in the hall. This was also an instinct brought about by the Aolai Divine Beast memory inheritance, akin to the natural hierarchy among Exotic Beasts.

"You must think it over. Once you enter the Beast Soul Hall, regardless of life or death, you cannot withdraw midway. Throughout history, countless Great Sword Masters met their demise here. If you’re not absolutely confident, it’s best not to take the risk lightly," Hall Master Qin cautioned one last time.

He admired Han Yan’s courage, determination, and perseverance. The path of a strong person is fraught with countless obstacles, and one can never become truly strong by hesitating. However, precisely because of this admiration, he didn’t want to see Han Yan fall prematurely like those once-talented elites.

"I’ve thought it through." Han Yan appreciated Hall Master Qin’s good intentions, nodding gratefully.

"Very well, take some time to adjust your breath at the hall’s entrance before going in," Hall Master Qin advised, no longer trying to dissuade her.

"Thank you, Hall Master." Han Yan sat cross-legged at the entrance of the great hall.

She knew Hall Master Qin wanted her to acclimate to the beast soul’s pressure within the hall in advance so she wouldn’t be caught off guard upon entering. Although Han Yan had experienced similar Divine Beast pressures before, from both the Qiongqi Divine Beast and later the Aolai Divine Beast, whose pressure was not weaker than this Beast Soul Hall, Hall Master Qin’s arrangement was redundant. Nonetheless, she couldn’t disregard his kind intentions.

As Han Yan prepared herself at the hall’s entrance to reciprocate Hall Master Qin’s goodwill, figures emerged, approaching the Beast Soul Hall. These were academy disciples and some mentors who had come to join the spectacle after hearing the news.

"Who could be so bold, joining the academy and daring to take the Beast Soul Tower trial? Are they tired of living?"

"To be fair, it’s not unheard of for academy disciples to participate in the trials. Lord Gong and Lord Wenren both passed the Beast Soul Tower trial with Sixth and Seventh Rank Sword Master strength. But can ordinary people compare to Lord Gong and Lord Wenren’s talent? This person is simply overestimating themselves." 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"I heard this person is Han Yan, Lord Gong’s new disciple."

"The one who defeated the Shangyue Country swordsman, claiming the top spot in the current enrollment selection, Han Yan?"

"Who else could it be? He merely defeated a Shangyue Country swordsman, yet considers himself a hero. Long Yan Academy has hidden talents, and any disciple chosen at random wouldn’t be weaker than him. Yet who dares to easily take the Beast Soul Tower trial?"

"It’s a classic case of getting too carried away with success, still too young and naive, thinking the world is beneath them after achieving something small."

"What a shame, Lord Gong never accepted disciples in his life, and this is his first and only time, only to take in someone so arrogant and ignorant. Now, even Lord Gong has wasted his efforts on this disciple."

As they walked, those people continued to chatter, clearly disdainful of Han Yan’s actions, and some seemed to relish the thought of his impending misfortune, brimming with jealousy.

Jealousy is inevitable for talents; Han Yan first defeated Yue Fanchen and unexpectedly became Gong Hongru’s disciple, even leading to a rivalry with Wenren Qingqiu. Not being envied would be impossible.

Hall Master Qin frowned; his good intentions were to give Han Yan more time to prepare before her trial at Beast Soul Hall. Yet somehow, news was leaked, causing a commotion with so many people coming to watch the spectacle, creating chaos. How could Han Yan possibly calm her mind now? Their cold sarcasm might just disrupt her peace.

Han Yan also opened her eyes, looking towards the crowd.

She had only entered the academy yesterday, and the intention to undergo the Beast Soul Hall trial was known only to Huayue, Tan Yu, and the Gu brothers. Her decision wasn’t finalized until just before, making it impossible for others to hear the news so early. Clearly, someone swiftly spread the news to the crowd.
