63: Chapter 63: Extreme Shadow Step
63 -63: Extreme Shadow Step
Lin Bai, Nanli Dao, and Ye Guxing arrived at the entrance of the Martial Arts Pavilion one after another, handing over their identity tokens to the Elder on guard.
The Elder on guard said, “Outer Sect Disciples, you are only permitted to borrow martial skills on the first floor.
Each person is limited to one book, and the borrowing period cannot exceed half a month.”
“Understood.”
Lin Bai, Nanli Dao, and Ye Guxing responded in unison, entering the Martial Arts Pavilion together.
Once inside the Martial Arts Pavilion, Lin Bai parted ways with them.
“Sword Skill, Fist Skill, Palm Skill, Blade Skill…”
Lin Bai looked over one bookshelf after another on the first floor of the Martial Arts Pavilion.
“Body Skill!”
“Found it.”
After searching for a while, he finally found the martial skills related to Body Skill.
“Swimming Fish Body Skill, Yellow Level Fifth Grade…”
“Ghostly Body Skill, Yellow Level Seventh Rank…”
“Whirlwind Skill, Yellow Level Ninth Grade…”
“Why are they all Yellow Level Martial Skills?”
Lin Bai flipped through dozens of them, all of which were Yellow Level.
He did not see a single Mysterious-level one.
“The Mysterious-level Martial Skills have essentially all been borrowed.” A woman by the Body Skill bookshelf spoke at this moment.
Lin Bai turned towards this woman, and greeted her with a fist-palm salute, “I am Lin Bai, a new disciple of the sect.”
“Oh, so you are Lin Bai.” The woman laughed at hearing Lin Bai’s name, and took a good look at him from head to toe.
Lin Bai laughed and asked, “What?
Do we know each other?”
The woman laughed and said, “You might not know me, but your name has been ringing in my ears so much these past few days that it’s about to explode.
You ranked first in the re-examination and defeated Zhang Hua on the Martial Arts Stage!
Not bad, this year’s new warriors have a standout.”
“When I first joined the Spirit Sword Sect, I was oppressed by the older disciples.”
Lin Bai nodded in understanding.
“My name is Li Qingxuan, and I am the Alliance Leader of the Sword Alliance in the Spirit Sword Sect.”
The woman said quietly.
“Sword Alliance?”
Lin Bai looked at Li Qingxuan with a furrowed brow.
“I understand that for you new Warriors joining the Spirit Sword Sect, you only know about the Divine Alliance.
but in the Sect, besides the Divine Alliance, there are other Martial Alliances, among which our Sword Alliance is one.”
“The Divine Alliance is powerful, so it’s only natural that you haven’t heard of the Sword Alliance.”
“The warriors we recruit in the Sword Alliance are primarily skilled swordsmen.
Since you are also a Sword Cultivator, would you be interested in coming to the Sword Alliance to compare notes sometime?”
As Li Qingxuan spoke, she patted the Sharp Sword hanging at her waist.
Lin Bai looked down and, even through its sheath, he could feel the chill emanating from the Treasure Sword.
“Sure, I will definitely visit the Sword Alliance to exchange experiences if I get the chance.”
Hearing that the Sword Alliance was filled with swordsmen, Lin Bai felt a surge of enthusiasm.
Upon joining the Spirit Sword Sect, he naturally hoped to have competitions with more experts, refining his combat skill and improving his Sword Skill.
Since the Sword Alliance was a place for swordsmen, Lin Bai would definitely take the opportunity to seek out these experts for a friendly match.
“I see you checking out the Body Skill bookshelf—you must be trying to find a book on this subject.
It’s a pity that all these skills were taken away by the Divine Alliance’s disciples.”
Li Qingxuan sighed lightly.
She clearly disliked the arrogance of the Divine Alliance’s disciples.
“Senior Sister Zhang, what do you mean by that?” Lin Bai asked curiously.
“You still don’t know?
There won’t be a single Mysterious-level Martial Skill on this entire first floor.”
“All of these Mysterious-level Skills have been borrowed by the Divine Alliance’s disciples.”
“When a Divine Alliance Warrior comes to return a borrowed book after half a month, there is always another Divine Alliance Warrior with him.
While one returns the book, the other borrows it again!”
“So, the Divine Alliance basically controls the Martial Arts Pavilion.” frёewebnoѵēl.com
“If you want a Mysterious-level Martial Skill, you must join the Divine Alliance.
Otherwise, you can only practice these subpar Yellow Level Martial Skills.”
Lin Bai nodded with understanding, “So that’s how it is.
The Divine Alliance does this, doesn’t our Sect regulate them?”
“The Sect regulates the Divine Alliance?
You must be crazy, don’t you know who the Alliance Leader of the Divine Alliance is?”
“The Alliance Leader of the Divine Alliance is the Young Sect Master.
It won’t be long before he becomes the Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect.
To oppose him now is essentially making an enemy of the future Spirit Sword Sect!”
“Do you think these Elders Council would oppose the future Sect Leader for mere trifles?”
Lin Bai sneered softly.
“Junior Brother Lin Bai, since we have met here, let me give you a little gift.”
“I happened to be at a hiatus when a Divine Alliance Warrior was returning a martial arts skill.
I received a Mysterious-level Body Skill.”
“I came here today to return this martial arts skill!”
“How about you borrow it directly!”
Li Qingxuan asked with a laugh.
“Really?
Then thank you, Senior Sister Li.”
Lin Bai was overjoyed.
He had thought he would go home empty-handed today, but didn’t expect Li Qingxuan to borrow a martial arts skill during the hiatus of a Divine Alliance Warrior.
“It’s nothing.
You must work hard to improve your cultivation so that you can come and exchange pointers with us at the Sword Alliance.”
Li Qingxuan took out a book from her bosom and handed it to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai looked at it.
The cover of the book read “Extreme Shadow Step,” with the characters Mysterious-level Third Grade.
“A Mysterious-level Third Grade martial arts skill, it should be enough.”
Lin Bai was very happy.
“Alright, I’ll go first.”
Li Qingxuan handed the martial arts skill to Lin Bai, chatted a while longer, and then parted ways with Lin Bai.
Lin Bai, holding the Extreme Shadow Step, walked to the door of the Martial Arts Pavilion and registered with the Elder on duty.
“Extreme Shadow Step, a Mysterious-Level martial skill?” The Elder on duty frowned and looked upset.
“What’s the matter, Elder.
Is there a problem?” Lin Bai asked.
“You should change another martial arts skill.
You will get into huge trouble if you borrow this one,” the Elder on duty said earnestly.
“Why, because of the Divine Alliance?” Lin Bai asked.
“That’s right, Zheng Yuhua of the Divine Alliance has already come by beforehand.
If the Extreme Shadow Step is returned, he will come to get it immediately.”
“If you take it now, the Divine Alliance will surely come to trouble you.
Take my advice and choose another one.”
The Elder on duty was quite helpless, as the Divine Alliance now dominates the Spirit Sword Sect, and they don’t even care about these Elders.
“Divine Alliance!
Humph, Elder, no, I’ve made my decision.
I’m taking this martial skill!”
“Please register it, Elder.”
Lin Bai said firmly.
“Oh, you child, well, I’ve warned you.
Take care.”
Having tried to persuade Lin Bai and realizing he did not take his advice, the Elder on duty shook his head helplessly and registered for Lin Bai.
Just as he finished registering.
Lin Bai was about to leave with the Extreme Shadow Step.
Just stepping out of the Martial Arts Pavilion, he saw a group of warriors approaching the Pavilion with a condescending attitude.
“Elder, today is the day Li Qingxuan is supposed to return the Extreme Shadow Step, right?
Where is the Extreme Shadow Step?
I want to borrow it.”
A handsome man leading the group of warriors walked up to the Elder on duty without giving any face to the Elder on duty, and talked to him as if a master addressing his servant.
“It has been borrowed already!”
The Elder on duty said indifferently.
“Borrowed?
Who dares to take what the Divine Alliance has set its eyes on?”
“Show me the register!”
The handsome man reached out and snatched the register from the Elder on duty.
A flash of anger sparked in the Elder on duty’s eyes, but he eventually restrained his temper when he thought of the Alliance Leader of the Divine Alliance.
“Lin Bai!”
The handsome man exclaimed in anger.
“Senior Brother Zheng Yuhua, it’s him!
Lin Bai!
I saw him at the Martial Arts Stage that day!”
At this very moment, a Warrior of the Divine Alliance, who followed the handsome man, pointed at Lin Bai’s back and said.
