Chapter 1848: Welcome Back, Master Han! (2)....

Zhu Yuhe, who had entered the trial grounds a hundred years ago, likely gained unimaginable benefits there.
With the return of such an expert, given a period of settling down, he could become one of the world’s top refiners.
“Haha, it must be the return of Master Zhu Yuhe. Our Wanjin City will soon have another top divine-level refiner.”
The refiners, all smiling, rushed forward.
Meeting a new divine-level expert was a joyous occasion.
He might even be able to obtain some benefits from this person.
It was said that the divine-level trials contained unique memories and opportunities.
If this divine-level expert was willing to share even a trace, it could be endlessly beneficial.
“Boom—”
As soon as they arrived at the main hall, everyone saw light screens rising.
These light screens were to protect the people emerging from the hall.
After all, he was a new divine-level expert and had to be treated with seriousness.
“Could it be the three sage-level refiners from the previous sage-level trial?” someone asked softly, looking at the hall shrouded by the light screen.
A year ago, three sage-level refiners directly stepped into the divine-level trial after passing the sage-level trial.
Such methods caused an uproar in the entire Wanjin City.
Especially since one of the three refining masters even got full marks in the sage-level trial.
Such a high score was unprecedented since the establishment of the refiners’ alliance.
Countless people were speculating about when the three sage-level refiners would return.
Most people felt that it was impossible for them to pass the trial.
However, such sharpness was something outsiders did not possess.
“The three of them? That’s possible,” a white-bearded elder shook his head and said in a low voice, “Their foundations are too weak and not solid enough.”
“Indeed, it’s too risky to directly enter the sage-level divine trial.”
“That’s not necessarily true. There are so many geniuses in the world. Who knows?”
Outside the hall, there was a flurry of discussion.
Among them, there was a cultivator in a green robe with a complicated expression.
He was Wu Zhao, the cultivator who had been Han Muye’s guide last time and had yet to receive his reward.
Ever since Han Muye stepped into the divine level trial, he had gained some reputation in Wanjin City.
Some factions and refiners had even come specifically to find him.
Those factions wanted to use Wu Zhao to get close to Han Muye.
As for those refining masters, they wanted to borrow some luck from Wu Zhao.
He had obtained some opportunities from the person who directly participated in the divine level trial from the sage level.
Other people also wanted to have such an opportunity.
“Brother Wu, it’s actually better if it’s not that person,” a green-robed middle-aged man beside Wu Zhao said softly with a smile.
Wu Zhao nodded.
Indeed.
The longer one stayed in the trial, the more benefits one would obtain.
Han Muye and the other two had only entered the divine-level trial for less than a year. What opportunities could they have?
He might not even be able to pass the divine trial in a year.
“Buzz!”
The light screen outside the hall vibrated.
“They’re coming out!”
“It must be Grandmaster Zhu!”
“Haha, I knew it—uh, who is he?”
The person who walked out of the light screen was Han Muye, wearing a green robe and looking calm.
To Wanjin City, Han Muye’s image was unfamiliar.
He had only been in the city for a day before stepping into the trial. Who could recognize him?
“Who is this?”
Someone was puzzled.
The others shook their heads.
“Young Master Han!”
Wu Zhao’s eyes widened as he exclaimed.
Hearing his call, many people in the square turned around and made way.
Wu Zhao quickly walked forward and stood in front of the stone steps.
“Young Master Han, y-you’ve completed your trial?”
He didn’t dare say congratulations.
This was because for a refining master, the divine level trial taking only a year seemed impossible to pass.
The shorter the time, the fewer the benefits, and the less likely it was to pass the trial.
“He, he was one of the three refiners who directly entered the divine level from the sage level trial last year!”
Finally, someone guessed Han Muye’s identity.
“Yes, that’s him.” Someone scrutinized Han Muye carefully, then lowered his voice. “From the looks of it, he failed?”
Had he failed?
That was true. It had only been a year. Of course, he had failed.
Han Muye glanced at Wu Zhao and smiled.
“That’s right, I’ve completed the trial.”
As he spoke, he raised his hand and a seven-colored badge appeared.
A divine-level badge!
This person had obtained a Divine-level badge in the trial grounds within a year!
Seeing the divine-level badge in Han Muye’s hand, Wu Zhao was both surprised and delighted.
He hadn’t expected Han Muye to really pass the divine-level trial.
However, it was a pity to have only stayed in the trial grounds for a year.
“Congratulations, Young Master Han. No, Divine-level Master.”
Wu Zhao hurriedly smiled and bowed. Then, his face revealed bitterness as he said in a low voice, “I really didn’t expect divine-level masters to be able to directly advance from sage level to divine level. Otherwise, I would have definitely advised you to stay longer in the trial grounds.
Hearing his words, Han Muye laughed and waved his hand. He looked around and walked out.
He planned to rest for a while before heading to the alliance hall to meet the core Elders.
He was the next core Elder. This position had yet to be confirmed.
Seeing Han Muye walk down the steps, the surrounding refiners and cultivators bowed slightly.
This was a sign of respect for a newly promoted divine weapon refiner.
Divine level experts were all worthy of such respect.
Wu Zhao hurriedly followed behind Han Muye and walked forward.
Looking at Han Muye’s figure, some people looked envious.
Someone shook his head gently. “This person’s time in the trial was too short. His foundation is lacking.”
