Infinite Professions

"A... planet?"

The crowd was astonished upon hearing this.

Although they were mentally prepared, knowing Shen Hex’s performance would surely receive special cultivation from the Martial Mansion, and the Nine Yang Dance, being the Martial God of the Mansion, would certainly show something after accepting a disciple, they didn’t expect it to be this grand—a planet off the bat.

Is this the true reward of the Xingyi Martial Mansion?

Those over ten hundred thousand academic credits, though worth tens of billions, are just that—merely billions.

For a seed guaranteed to become a Martial God, this is nothing more than an appetizer; further investment and cultivation are needed to fully unearth potential and let it grow into a towering tree.

Therefore, the Nine Yang Dance just handed him a planet right away.

The value is unimaginable; even a remote new star like Yunlan Star is worth over ten trillions.

But given Nine Yang Dance’s status, would she give a remote new star?

Certainly not, and it wouldn’t make sense—given Shen Hex’s current performance, he needs to develop deeply and accumulate; not to run off to a remote planet to wander, leaving enemies a chance to snuff out potential in the cradle.

Therefore...

"I have spent my recent years dedicated to cultivation, didn’t earn too many academic credits, and previously expended quite a few resources for advancing to Divine Martial, my assets aren’t substantial, just one Cave Mansion and one planet count as assets."

"I still need the Cave Mansion on Xianglong Star to live, the planet I can give you is called Chongguang, a second-level companion star under Xianglong Star, a notch below Hidden Dragon Star, but should suffice."

Nine Yang Dance patted Shen Hex’s shoulder, then her proud bearing: "I hand it over to you, do whatever you wish, go ahead fearlessly; even if the sky falls, your master is here to support you!"

"..."

"..."

"..."

The crowd behind were silent.

Only Shen Hex, smoothly responded: "Thank you, Master!"

He naturally understood the significance of Nine Yang Dance giving him this planet.

Firstly, it’s to win over, secondly, to cultivate.

No need to elaborate on winning over; though the bond between master and disciple sometimes surpasses family blood ties, it is a form of "Dao companion," supporting each other on the path; but only sometimes, not all master-disciple relationships are such, the specifics depend on how you manage.

Manage well, and the master-disciple bond deepens.

If managed poorly, just look at the former Shen Martial Arts Hall.

Nine Yang Dance gifting him this planet is a most practical means to manage their master-disciple relationship.

After all, from his previous performance, it’s obvious even without thinking, he must have received guidance from others, even if not nominally a disciple, it’s practically a master-disciple relationship; joining Nine Yang Dance now belongs to bringing skills seeking a master, emotionally inferior to those nurtured from childhood.

If emotions fall short, to strengthen bonds, they must leverage interests.

Firstly bind with interests, then manage emotionally, to strengthen the bond between both sides.

Of course, the premise is both aren’t profit-driven, otherwise, it might end up being a wasted effort, even raising a traitor.

Shen Hex’s behavior doesn’t indicate a traitor, on the contrary, his "character portrayal" is successful, constantly supporting Zhong Qin and Teng Manyun after entering the Hidden Dragon Secret Realm, without slaughtering the team to boost scores, coupled with previous Tianbei battle performance, the label of loyalty and righteousness is firmly affixed.

This very point led Nine Yang Dance to invest significantly, as she knows if she offers benefits, Shen Hex will surely return in kind, investing will yield returns, rather than be futile.

This is the benefit of a well-built character, nobody likes interacting with selfish people; even those constantly proclaiming "if one doesn’t consider oneself, punishment from heaven and earth" roles, they hesitate to mingle with such similar people, much less manage relationships.

This is winning over, now, speaking of cultivation.

Shen Hex reported two professions, firstly Celestial Traveler, secondly Spirit Control Martial Monarch.

No need to elaborate on Celestial Traveler; based on his previous performance, the Xingyi Martial Mansion definitely wouldn’t let him venture into danger, or clash with the Evil God Sect, even facing the Evil God directly.

Therefore, Spirit Control Martial Monarch becomes the main development path; Nine Yang Dance giving him this planet is for spirit beast cultivation.

Chongguang Star, a second-level companion star under Xianglong Star, though not matching Hidden Dragon Star, is after all a Martial Mansion Planet; whether in primordial spirit concentration or planet size, it surpasses remote new stars like Yunlan Star.

With this planet, he can quickly rebuild Cyan Mountain Breeding Farm, and rapidly grow strong, cultivate spirit beasts, produce resources, benefit the Martial Dao, Immortal Dao, Divine Dao, and various crafts and arts.

In short, it’s two words—take off!

With this harvest, Shen Hex’s performance isn’t wasted.

He knows his strength shown in Hidden Dragon Secret Realm will inevitably draw Xingyi Martial Mansion and various suspicions, for it doesn’t match his origin; if something happens abnormally, there must be a monster, coupled with Evil God Sect’s influence, suspicion is reasonable.

But suspicion remains suspicion, with the backing of a profession like Celestial Traveler, along with enough potential and value expressed, this suspicion can’t turn into evidence, nor can it allow Xingyi Martial Mansion to exclude him.

On the contrary, Xingyi Martial Mansion draws closer to him; after all, he doesn’t carry a complex background or connections like the Noble Family offspring, naturally providing stronger Mansion allegiance.
