Chapter 516
The man who was nearly two meters high was Marlin. He sat there like an iron tower, attracting the
attention of the whole audience. With his sturdy build and powerful aura, he did attract the attention of
the audience!
When Tom appeared, Marlin's eyes swept over Tom's body, then he frowned slightly, and quickly
looked away.
At first, he thought that Tom was also a master of Innate Realm, so he looked forward to him with
special respect. But immediately, he realized that he was wrong. Tom's aura was not strong, and the
energy in his body was not particularly high. At best, Tom was just a master of Extrinsic Peak. Anyone
below the Innate Realm was an ant. And he thought Tom was an ant, so he naturally do not cause him
any concern.
The other masters of the Innate Realm reacted the same way. Their eyes simply stayed on Tom for a
while and immediately moved away. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
A master of the Innate Realm was already not in the same form as an ordinary person. No matter how
easy-going their personalities were, deep down they all had a kind of arrogance. They considered
ordinary people below the Innate Realm to be mere ants and thought they were not worth mentioning.
Tom naturally saw their reactions. He smiled and didn't care much. At the scene, his realm was the
highest. Because of his martial arts, as long as he wanted to keep a low profile and hide his strength, it
was impossible for anyone who was not at a higher level than him to see through.
However, he did not recognize Marlin either. He just felt that the Fosters had made a big deal this time
and invited so many masters of the Innate Realm to come here. After all, masters of the Innate Realm,
no matter where they went, were noble and rare.
As long as they reached the Innate Realm, they must become arrogant. Generally speaking, they
would not listen to others. the Fosters could invite so many inborn realm experts to the scene, which
showed that the Fosters was very powerful.
Soon, everyone was there, and the cruise ship began to leave the port and go deep into the sea.
After a while, someone from the Fosters came out and said to everyone, "Good evening, friends. I'm
Wells. Thank you so much for coming to our banquet at the Fosters tonight."
After that, thunderous applause broke out.
With a bright smile on his face, Wells pressed down his hand and continued, "I believe everyone knows
that tonight's banquet is mainly about picking out suitable masters of Innate Realm for the younger
generation of the Fosters. Today, I invite you all here to witness it together."
Wells did not say this very bluntly, but everyone knew the meaning of his words. He was saying that the
Fosters wanted to select the most powerful one among these several experts of the Innate Realm to be
the master of several descendants of the Fosters. The reason why so many people were invited over
was mainly to increase the seriousness of this worship.
After all, accepting disciples was a big deal. Masters in the Innate Realm to accept disciple was the
biggest deal of all!
The more famous a martial artist was, the more cautious and serious he must be. It would be a tragedy
if a master taught his disciple well while the disciple deceived his master and destroyed him. If this
ceremony was carried out in the presence of many big names, then this master-disciple relationship
was so strong that even if the disciple did not get along with the master and wanted to betray him,
would have to consider it carefully!
This virtually gave the master insurance and the disciple a shackle.
Moreover, the Fosters was a prestigious and large family, and their descendants paying homage to
their master must not be sloppy, which was why they held tonight's banquet.
Tom knew a little about such rules. If he were to take on a disciple in the future, it would certainly not be
sloppy, and he would have to make it as grand as possible.
After hearing this, everyone at the scene was jealous. It was a great honor to be able to learn from a
master of the Innate Realm! If someone could really break through to the Innate Realm, then it would
be a great blessing!
Tom sat in the crowd and watched the scene with interest.
After Wells finished speaking, he clapped his hands and immediately, eight young people from the
Fosters came out from behind the scenes. Each of them was in high spirits, confident and noble, and
their build was strong. It was obvious that they were good materials for martial arts practice.
The youngest of them was only fifteen or sixteen years old, and the others were in their twenties. Only
one woman, relatively old, was twenty-five or twenty-six years old.
When Tom saw this woman, he was immediately stunned. Wasn't this Diana? Was she from the
Fosters?
All of a sudden, Tom patted his forehead. Why didn't he think of it? Diana was Isabella's best friend and
had a distinguished status. The upper-class banquet that day was held for her. Diana was infatuated
with martial art and wanted to learn from him. Then tonight's the Fosters banquet was to select a
master for their descendants...
Fortunately, Tom was sitting on the right side, not in the middle, and he was not very conspicuous.
Diana did not see him, or else she would have to chase him to ask him to accept her as his disciple,
and it would be a little troublesome.
Wells said to Marlin and other masters of Innate Realm, "Masters, these eight are the best
descendants of my the Fosters."
These five masters of Innate Realm did not choose their disciples immediately, but looked at each
other. Finally, they looked at Marlin and said, "Marlin, you choose first?"
Obviously, these four masters of the Innate Realm were a little afraid of Marlin and intended to give him
the first pick.
Marlin smiled and said, "You pick first."
The remaining four masters of Innate Realm looked at each other, then a middle-aged man in a white
training suit with a yin and yang tai chi thorn on his back came out first, smiling and saying, "Since
everyone is not in a hurry, let me, Ben, start first."
He was a master of the first stage of the Innate Realm. He was not very tall, and even a little short and
fat, but his eyes were especially energetic, and his temples were also high and bulging.
He walked straight to a 20-year-old youth and asked with a smile, "What's your name, young man?"
The young man straightened his back and said loudly, "I am Joel!"
Ben laughed and said, "Joel, that's a good name! Joel, let me ask you, what do you think the Innate
Realm is?"
Joel was confused for a while, then he said loudly, "The Innate Realm is the ultimate yearning of a
martial artist, the limit that human beings can reach, and a higher level than mortals!"
"Okay!" Ben was very satisfied with the answer. Then he pinched Joel and found that his bones were
very good and he had a talent for martial arts. He nodded and continued to say in a deep voice, "Joel,
are you willing to let me teach you?"
Joel was overjoyed and nodded hard. He was very obedient and immediately fell to his knees, and
kowtowed hard, saying, "Disciple Joel, pay respects to my master!"
Ben was even more excited and satisfied when he saw how energetic Joel was.
Next, there was a formal teacher worship ceremony. The disciple paid three obeisances and made a
vow that he should never betray, otherwise he would be punished by lightning.
Only under such formal procedures and such a vicious oath would Ben be willing to teach Joel.
Next, the other three masters of the Innate Realm also selected their discipls one after another.
So, Marlin was the only one left. He went straight to Diana, looked at her with bright eyes and said,
"Would you like to learn from me?"
Everyone looked at Diana and thought that Diana would agree excitedly.
However, Diana's next reaction stunned everyone.
"No." Diana shook her head.
