“Of course, it’s true.”
Ling Tianzi said with a laugh.
Lin Bai was overjoyed and immediately replied, “Alright, at the Outer Sect Disciples Ranking War in four months, I’ll definitely take first place!”
“Within a year, I will undoubtedly become a core disciple!”
Lin Bai stated enthusiastically.
Ling Tianzi’s origins were a mystery.
From the day Lin Bai had seen the Leijue Sword Intent Picture, he had decided to take Ling Tianzi as his master.
Moreover, Lin Bai was very confident about the Outer Sect Disciples Ranking War in four months.
With four months of time, if Lin Bai put in a bit of effort and improved his cultivation, and practiced a few more Dragon Power Sword Qi, taking first place shouldn’t be difficult.
As for becoming a core disciple, he would need to consider that after Lin Bai entered the Inner Gate.
“Three months from now, I will face Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong in a battle of life and death.”
“Four months from now, I need to take first place in the Outer Sect Disciples Ranking War.”
“Within a year, I need to become a core disciple!”
“The challenge is coming, my blood is also starting to boil.”
A hint of excitement curved up at the corners of Lin Bai’s mouth.
Lin Bai loved to challenge himself and to break through his limits.
“Senior, I have something to apologize for.
That day, I secretly sneaked onto the White Cloud Peak, and by accident, I…destroyed your Book Pavilion.”
Lin Bai said tentatively, looking at Ling Tianzi.
He was afraid that this incident might upset Ling Tianzi and affect his impression of Lin Bai.
However, when Lin Bai brought up the matter, Ling Tianzi just smiled casually: “No harm done, just focus on your cultivation.”
The casual response from Ling Tianzi left Lin Bai feeling a little puzzled.
“Yes.”
Lin Bai answered, turning around to leave the palace.
Li Shanqing followed him out.
“Senior brother, do you think the senior might be angry with me?” Lin Bai asked curiously as he looked at Li Shanqing.
“Lin Bai, don’t overthink it.
Does our master have time to be angry with you?”
“Besides, do you think you could have set foot on White Cloud Peak without our master’s consent?”
Li Shanqing replied with a smirk.
Looking at Li Shanqing’s grin, Lin Bai couldn’t shake off the feeling that his intentions were not good.
“Senior brother, are you saying that the senior knew when I came to White Cloud Peak?” Lin Bai asked in surprise.
On the day he went to White Cloud Peak, Lin Bai was extremely cautious, not even disturbing a single bird that was sleeping in the forest.
And yet Ling Tianzi knew about it.
“Nonsense!”
“If our master didn’t know, how would he have shown you the Leijue Sword Intent Picture?”
Li Shanqing retorted impatiently.
Just thinking about the incident with the Book Pavilion made Li Shanqing’s blood boil.
It was Lin Bai who had caused the damage, but he was the one who had to repair it.
“The Leijue Sword Intent Picture was given to me by the senior?”
Lin Bai was startled again.
Then, Lin Bai laughed bitterly in his heart. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
So it turned out that his little tricks were all within Ling Tianzi’s control.
“The Leijue Sword Intent Picture, such a precious item, do you think it would be casually placed in front of you?”
Li Shanqing glared at Lin Bai.
“You don’t realize its value now, but you will in the future.”
Li Shanqing casually added another sentence.
That day, Lin Bai found it strange that the Leijue Sword Intent Picture did not appear when he first picked up the book, but was visible when he put it down again.
At that time, Lin Bai didn’t think it was weird, but hearing Li Shanqing’s words triggered his realization.
This must have been arranged by Ling Tianzi.
“Thank you for telling me, senior brother.” Lin Bai expressed his gratitude with a bow.
“Lin Bai, you must work hard.
Our master seems to have a good impression of you.
As long as you work hard, perhaps you could really become my junior brother.”
Li Shanqing casually chuckled.
“I certainly will!”
As he spoke, Lin Bai set off from White Cloud Peak.
…
Only after seeing Lin Bai leave did Li Shanqing return to the palace: “Master, are you really going to take him as a student?”
“Why shouldn’t I?
Even though his Martial Soul isn’t high, he’s exceptionally talented and smart.
Other people looked at the Leijue Sword Intent Picture hundreds of times and still couldn’t grasp the Sword Intention.”
“He got it after only two attempts, and just that alone already puts him above many others.”
“The only regrettable thing is his Martial Soul.”
“A Martial Soul represents a warrior’s potential, which is why I set these two challenges for him.”
“As long as he can secure first place in the ranking war in four months, and become a Core Disciple a year later, it would mean that despite his low Martial Soul, his practice speed and potential are comparable to an Earth Grade Martial Soul warrior.”
“So, it wouldn’t be out of place for me to take him as a student.”
Ling Tianzi calmly stated.
“Master, as always, you have such foresight!” Li Shanqing chuckled.
Ling Tianzi responded with an understanding smile, then continued reading.
Lin Bai left White Cloud Peak, with plenty of time to spare.
On returning home, he found that Qi Shaolong and Tiedan hadn’t come back yet.
“They must have gone off to watch the martial arts competition.
I wonder if it’s over yet, maybe I should go and join them.”
Lin Bai chuckled and just as he got home, he turned around and walked out again.
After new warriors pass the verification test each year, they would participate in the Newcomers Competition.
The Newcomers Competition is a martial arts practice between the senior disciples and the new disciples.
Usually, there would be some wager before stepping onto the stage.
Stepping out of the Newcomers Courtyard, Lin Bai quickly arrived at a large square.
The square was full of warriors.
In the middle of the square was the Martial Arts Stage, and coincidentally, two warriors were in a fierce battle.
Lin Bai even recognized one of the warriors, it was Ye Guxing.
Ye Guxing had fought Lin Bai during the trials, and his swordsmanship was highly proficient at that time, almost matching Lin Bai.
After a thousand rounds of challenging combat, Lin Bai discovered that it was all just a misunderstanding, and they both decided to stop.
“Go Senior Brother Ye!
Show these senior disciples that we newcomers are not to be trifled with!”
“Keep it up, Ye Guxing, beat them to a pulp!”
“Kick his ass!
Ye Guxing.”
Many new warriors shouted with a fierce demeanor.
But unfortunately, Ye Guxing made a careless mistake, and his opponent found a loophole, and punched him off the Martial Arts Stage.
All the new warriors were despondent when they saw Ye Guxing lose.
“Good!
Well done Senior Brother Ge!
These newbie warriors barely even know the basics and dare to defy us, it’s time to give them a taste of reality.”
“Exactly, these newcomer warriors, they just don’t understand the rules!”
“Well done, Senior Brother Ge.”
Seeing Ge Liang win, many incumbent disciples became smug.
Ge Liang stood on the stage, looking disdainfully at Ye Guxing before saying, “Are there any more newbies who dare to come up and challenge me?”
Ge Liang asked in a haughty tone as he was a warrior in the first level of the True Martial Realm.
Although Ye Guxing was at the same level, Ge Liang had entered the Spirit Sword Sect two years earlier, his True Qi was more solid, his Cultivation was purer, his martial arts techniques were more advanced, and in all these respects Ye Guxing was inferior.
So, his loss was quite predictable.
If given a few more days for Ye Guxing to refine his Cultivation, True Qi, and martial arts techniques to perfection, the outcome of this battle would be uncertain.
“Doesn’t any of you new warriors know how to fight?”
“Are all of you newbies a bunch of imbeciles?”
“Hahaha.”
Ge Liang stood on the Martial Arts Stage, laughing and mocking.
