Entering the Spirit Sword Sect (Bonus!)

"Third Uncle, what exactly is written on the letter?"

Lin Bai had been asking from last night until this morning.

Every time he asked what was written on the letter, Lin Yue would give a mysterious smile and not answer.

"What's written?" Lin Bai asked.

Lin Yue said impatiently, "Aren't you going to the Azure Cloud Terrace Palace in a year to kill Lin Zier?"

"Yes, what does that have to do with the letter?" Lin Bai asked strangely.

"Then don't ask too much. In a year, when you go to the Azure Cloud Terrace Palace, you will naturally know what is written on the letter," Lin Yue said with a smile.

Lin Bai frowned deeply: "So mysterious."

"Lin Bai, you must remember that Lin Zier has a Heaven Grade Fifth Rank Martial Soul. Her cultivation speed is extremely fast. If you want to catch up with her in a year, you must work hard yourself, and also rely on the cultivation plan arranged for you by Ling Tianzi."

"As long as you can defeat Lin Zier, then no genius in the Azure Cloud Terrace Palace will be your opponent."

"Cultivate hard, understand? Otherwise, you won't be Lin Zier's opponent in a year."

Lin Yue smiled mysteriously again.

"Don't worry, Third Uncle, I will definitely defeat Lin Zier again in a year."

Lin Bai said firmly.

Lin Yue continued, "Let's go, it's time to go to the City Lord's Mansion."

Early this morning, many martial artists participating in the martial arts recruitment competition gathered in the City Lord's Mansion.

The Spirit Rhino City Lord ascended to a high place and announced: "The results of yesterday's martial arts recruitment competition are out."

"Lin Bai, one hundred and twenty-three points, takes first place."

"Li Jianxing, thirty points, takes second place."

"Zhang Yao, ten points, takes third place."

"Bai Zhiyuan, three points, takes fourth place."

"Sun Chaoyang, two points, takes fifth place."

"Everyone else, one point each."

As soon as the Spirit Rhino City Lord finished announcing, it immediately caused a stir in the arena.

"Lin Bai actually got one hundred and twenty-three points."

"He stole all the Demon Beasts that Lin Zier killed, of course he has the highest score."

"That's right, there are over a hundred points worth of Demon Beasts in the Northwest Mountain Range."

"Of course he's the highest."

"But what's the point of having a high score? What future does a useless person have?"

"That's right, even with a high score, his Yellow Rank One Martial Soul is still trash."

Many martial artists whispered disdainfully to Lin Bai.

The Martial Soul represents how far a martial artist can go in the future.

And Lin Bai's Yellow Rank One is destined to stop at the Martial Dao Ninth Level, and he will never be able to break through to the True Martial Realm.

This is fate.

Lin Bai stood on the martial arts stage with the other disciples, a hint of sarcasm on his face towards those who mocked him.

"A bunch of frogs in a well, how can they see the power of the Devouring Sword Soul?" Lin Bai shook his head and smiled inwardly.

The Spirit Rhino City Lord then shouted: "Please, three elders, select your disciples."

At this time, Xiao Tianchu, the elder of the Blazing Fire Palace, Ling Han, the elder of the Edgeless Sect, and Ji Bei, the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, all walked to the high platform.

"Everyone, then I won't be polite." Xiao Tianchu laughed loudly: "Li Jianxing, are you willing to join the Blazing Fire Palace?"

Li Jianxing, who was second on the leaderboard, received an invitation from the Blazing Fire Palace.

Li Jianxing hesitated for a moment, clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the Blazing Fire Palace Elder, but because my elder sister joined the Spirit Sword Sect, this disciple wishes to study at the Spirit Sword Sect."

"What! Are you saying you want to reject me? Do you know what the consequences are of rejecting me?" Xiao Tianchu was furious upon hearing this.

He was, after all, an elder of the Blazing Fire Palace, and the first to stand up to accept a disciple, but he was rejected.

Wasn't this a direct slap in the face of the Blazing Fire Palace?

Li Jianxing's expression was bitter and ugly.

Ji Bei, the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, said, "Li Jianxing, are you willing to join the Spirit Sword Sect?"

"This disciple is willing," Li Jianxing replied immediately.

"Ji Bei, do you have to go against me?" Xiao Tianchu said angrily.

"Xiao Tianchu, you heard it too, people want to join the Spirit Sword Sect, not your Blazing Fire Palace." Ji Bei smiled slightly.

The Azure Cloud Terrace Palace was beyond the Spirit Sword Sect's ability to contend with, but the Spirit Sword Sect had a decent chance against the Blazing Fire Palace.

"Hmph, you just wait." Xiao Tianchu snorted coldly and continued to shout, "Zhang Yao, Bai Zhiyuan, Sun Chaoyang, are you willing to join my Blazing Fire Palace?"

Xiao Tianchu stared at the last few relatively good geniuses as he spoke.

The three of them said with pleasant surprise, "This disciple is willing."

Subsequently, Li Jianxing joined the Spirit Sword Sect.

Sun Chaoyang, Bai Zhiyuan, and Zhang Yao joined the Blazing Fire Palace.

And the Edgeless Sect casually selected a few disciples and took them away.

The three major sects had almost finished their selections, but no one mentioned Lin Bai.

Until the very last moment, Ji Bei's gaze fell on Lin Bai.

"Lin Bai, are you willing to join the Spirit Sword Sect?" Ji Bei asked.

Lin Bai smiled faintly, "This disciple is willing."

Lin Yue had originally recommended the Spirit Sword Sect, and now hearing Ji Bei extend an invitation, Lin Bai immediately felt better.

"Ji Bei, I see that your Spirit Sword Sect is really nearing its end. This kid dared to injure King Zhao's Disciple. The Azure Cloud Terrace Palace will definitely come to settle accounts with him. Your Spirit Sword Sect still dares to accept him as a disciple? Isn't this inviting trouble?"

Xiao Tianchu sneered mockingly.

The Blazing Fire Palace and the Edgeless Sect were both avoiding Lin Bai like the plague.

Only Ji Bei of the Spirit Sword Sect still had some goodwill towards Lin Bai.

Ji Bei laughed, "Perhaps, but perhaps this is also an opportunity for the Spirit Sword Sect."

Everyone finished accepting their disciples and gave them time to go home and pack their luggage.

That afternoon, the three major sects took their respective disciples and returned to their sects.

"Third Uncle, I'm leaving," Lin Bai said to Lin Yue.

"Go on, I should go too. I need to find the Serpent God Sect," Lin Yue said.

"That's right, now that you've recovered your cultivation, it's time to find Third Aunt and your children," Lin Bai said with a smile.

"Remember, Lin Bai, Ling Tianzi is your best teacher. It's best if you can become his disciple."

Before leaving, Lin Yue specifically reminded Lin Bai again.

Lin Bai nodded.

Immediately, Lin Bai followed Ji Bei back to the Spirit Sword Sect, while Lin Yue alone embarked on the road to find his wife and children.

The Spirit Sword Sect was built two thousand years ago. The Spirit Sword Forefather discovered a mysterious cave in Fallen Spirit Mountain, comprehended the will of heaven and earth within, created unparalleled swordsmanship, and then established the Spirit Sword Sect in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, a traitor a hundred years ago stole most of the inherited martial techniques, causing the Spirit Sword Sect to fall to the bottom.

Even though the Spirit Sword Sect had declined, it still had over five thousand disciples.

Three thousand outer disciples.

Nine hundred inner disciples.

Nine core disciples.

One Young Sect Master.

In addition to some elders and servants, it was a large sect of nearly five thousand people.

But it was still far behind the Azure Cloud Terrace Palace.

The Azure Cloud Terrace Palace had thirty thousand outer disciples alone.

After three days of travel, Ji Bei brought several disciples back to the Spirit Sword Sect.

At the same time, the elders who had gone to other cities to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit disciples also returned to the Spirit Sword Sect.
