Chapter 342: Chapter 342: The Path Taken Because of You

At this moment on the field, the people waiting to participate in the Skill Divine Hall were immediately restless.

Many of them were actually here for this very moment, hoping to catch a glimpse of Lin Ye in person, or at least partake in the reputation of entering the Skill Divine Hall alongside Lin Ye.

Stuff like this is hard to say if it’s useful or not, but for bragging, it’s quite practical.

Just like now, entering the Skill Divine Hall together, what kind of skill recognition can be received is purely based on one’s own capability.

It’s meaningless to enter with Lin Ye, and even with ten or a hundred Lin Yes, it would still be meaningless.

If your fate is to earn a blue skill, Lin Ye’s presence won’t magically award you a purple skill.

In fact, it’s very likely, due to the large number of participants this year, that the advanced skill you deserve might be taken away by someone else.

Yet, sometimes things are just that strange.

Simply to gain an opportunity to enter the Skill Divine Hall with a celebrity, these people have all flocked to participate this year.

“It’s really Lin Ye!”

“In reality, he’s even more handsome than in the news.”

“Nonsense, the news you’ve seen is from more than three years ago, of course he’s grown more handsome after three years!”

“So excited, it’s a pity I’m a Silver Hall contestant, can’t enter the Golden Hall.”

“Jealous of the Golden Hall contestants…”

“Golden Hall contestants have more pressure, okay…”

“Indeed, I’ve heard that some Golden Hall contestants have chosen to compete next year instead.”

“After all, they are elites, unlike us here chasing stars.”

“How can it be the same? They are fighting for a golden skill, while for us, at most it’s a purple skill. The levels and value are worlds apart, totally different things.”

“True, those who can enter the Golden Hall are real talents, from a completely different world than ours…”

Many people were discussing on the field.

Despite the surge in participants for the Second Transformation Skill Divine Hall this year, they are mostly contestants of the Silver and Copper Halls, which always form the majority of participants each year.

As for the most attention-grabbing Golden Hall, only those who ranked in the top ten of the training camp have the qualification to enter.

Thus, each year, there are typically ten positions eligible for the Golden Hall…

But this year, counting Lin Ye, there are only four participants in the Golden Hall.

The rest chose to compete next year, a condition completely opposite to that of the Silver and Copper Halls.

The reason is simple, compared to the highest purple and orange skills obtainable from the Silver and Copper Halls, the Golden Hall offers the chance for golden skills!

Purple and orange skills are achievable through effort; making it to the top ten often means having one or two orange skills under one’s belt, that’s quite normal.

But when it comes to red or even golden skills, it’s a completely different story.

These things cannot be obtained through wealth or effort alone.

They have a tremendous connection with one’s talent and luck…

Under equal talent and level conditions, having a golden skill allows you to surpass competitors by several strides, crushing them outright.

Even if Lin Ye, like them, can only secure one skill, what Lin Ye could take away is most definitely a golden skill!

And golden skills are limited in number; losing one means a significantly reduced chance for others to obtain a golden skill.

For other skills, losing one or two, or even a hundred, might not have such a noticeable impact, and replenishment can be quite swift.

But if a golden skill is gone, it’s truly gone, you’ll have to wait until it can be replenished, and who knows how long that would take…

So the choice of those who are not participating in the Golden Hall this year is not hard to guess.

It’s simply not wanting to be a backdrop for Lin Ye to step on.

Lin Ye remained calm, walking towards the field. Although the path was noisy, the essential decorum expected of those who could set foot on this ground was still present.

Along the way, people quietly made way for Lin Ye.

Lin Ye, under everyone’s watchful eyes, walked to the area designated for Golden Hall contestants.

At that time, that area already had three youngsters there.

Seeing Lin Ye’s arrival, they were visibly excited, eagerly greeting Lin Ye with excessive respect.

Throughout the journey, Lin Ye had overheard some of the discussions going on.

In contrast to the lively atmosphere of the other two halls this year, the Golden Hall contestants are the fewest in history; counting Lin Ye, there are only four.

In previous years, at most, one or two were absent, and during peak times, even fourteen or fifteen people entered the Golden Hall together.

But this year, only four remain, setting a historic low.

However, this is quite normal because, unlike the Silver and Copper Halls, the competition in the Golden Hall is very real.

Golden skills are too precious; if one person is certain to get a golden skill, it means the chances for others are naturally reduced.

Given such circumstances, retreating is quite a sensible strategy.

No matter how few golden skills there are, in two to three years, one should be replenished, right?

“Elder Lin, I’m Song Yi, and I embarked on the healer’s path because of my admiration for you!”

“I’m… I’m not a healer, but I’m a dedicated fan of yours too!”

“Elder… I… I am… I…”

At this time, the three were overwhelmed with excitement, the last girl was even speaking incoherently, unable to mutter a complete sentence.

“Song Yi, Zeng Qiu, Qiu Sisi, right? I hope we can all obtain golden skills!” Lin Ye said with a kind smile.

Suddenly, the three were stunned!

Besides Song Yi, the other two hadn’t even mentioned their names, yet Lin Ye already knew who they were.

This evidently means he had learned about them beforehand!

For them, this was a huge honor!

Instantly, the three puffed up their chests, radiating with pride!

Seeing these kids only three years younger than himself, Lin Ye felt a bit moved.

Especially Song Yi.

Managing to enter the Golden Hall with the identity of a healer.

What an incredibly challenging feat that must have been?

This kind of achievement was unimaginable before. How could a support profession ever surpass a main combat profession?

So Song Yi’s talent and dedication are clear to see.

Lin Ye sighed.

If possible in the future, perhaps he could lend Song Yi a hand.
