The Unparalleled Sword Emperor-Chapter 568 - 567: I Only Have Three Opponents!

In the side hall.

Ji Bei, Nanli Dao, and Ye Guxing were sitting on the side.

Upon walking in, Lin Bai greeted them amicably, "Elder Ji Bei, Brother Nan, Brother Ye, it’s been a long time since we last met."

"Lin Bai!" Ji Bei exclaimed happily at the sight of Lin Bai.

Ye Guxing and Nanli Dao looked at Lin Bai as if they were looking at a freak.

Ji Bei said: "Had we not seen you fighting with Feng Yunxiu, Jian ruohan, and the Eighteen Swords Master in the Northern Mountain Range, we would not even know you had arrived at the Famous Sword Manor."

"How about you? Are you injured?"

Lin Bai laughed and replied, "I appreciate your concern, Elder. While I have sustained some injuries, they’re only minor, nothing critical."

Upon hearing that Lin Bai was fine, Ji Bei finally heaved a sigh of relief.

Immediately, Ji Bei hesitated and cautiously asked, "Lin Bai, could you perhaps tell us your goal for participating in the Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition...?"

"First place!"

Before Ji Bei could finish his sentence, Lin Bai cut him off directly, affirming with the utmost conviction.

Hiss--

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s determined answer, Ji Bei’s face flushed with excitement, "Good, good, Lin Bai! Whether you succeed or not, you’re the unparalleled genius of our Spirit Sword Sect!"

Ji Bei was overwhelmingly excited.

As of this year, the Famous Sword Manor’s Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition has been held over a thousand times, and among these thousand competitions, only one warrior from the Spirit Sword Sect has ever claimed the first place.

That was Jian Xuan.

When Jian Xuan won first place in the sword debate, the Spirit Sword Sect rose to become a top-tier sect within the 700 states of Lingdong.

This was revered as the peak era of the Spirit Sword Sect in the last 500 years by the 700 states of Lingdong.

Now, the Spirit Sword Sect had fallen. Since Jian Xuan’s betrayal, no warriors from the sect had made it into the top seven thousand for a hundred years.

In the Sword Discussion City, out of nine thousand warriors, none from Spirit Sword Sect could even make it into the top seven thousand. They were nothing more than bottom dwellers.

But now, if Lin Bai could win first place in the sword debate, the Spirit Sword Sect would surely rise again with Lin Bai’s victory.

Lin Bai, a disciple from the Spirit Sword Sect, wins first place in the Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition, becoming the top sword cultivator among the 700 states of Lingdong.

Following Lin Bai’s limelight, countless warriors would scramble to join the Spirit Sword Sect.

Then, the hope for the rise of Spirit Sword Sect would come.

So, when Ji Bei heard Lin Bai confidently stating his goal as first place, he was hit with an overwhelming wave of excitement.

Ye Guxing cautioned, "If your target is the first place, then you must be careful. The Canghai Yuntai Palace also sent a warrior to participate this time."

Nanli Dao also gave a heads up, "Yes, Wu Jian, who came from Canghai Yuntai Palace this time, has reached the Great Perfection of Half-step Divine Pill Realm. His target is the top two hundred."

"Wu Jian? Hehe, a defeated warrior dares to speak of bravery?"

Lin Bai shook his head and said.

"In this Sword Debate and Martial Arts Competition, besides Feng Yunxiu, Jian Ruohan, Yejian Qiu, and the Four Sword Emperors of the Famous Sword Manor, as well as the Eighteen Swords Master, the rest of the sword cultivators are not in my sight."

"A mere Wu Jian, it’s still hard to say whether he can even take a single blow now."

"My opponents are only Feng Yunxiu, Jian Ruohan, and Yejian Qiu."

Lin Bai asserted firmly.

Hiss--

Ji Bei was so moved by Lin Bai’s words that he was at a loss for words.

Meanwhile, Nanli Dao and Ye Guxing sat there with bitter smiles. They had been reminding Lin Bai to be careful of Wu Jian. Yet, Lin Bai claimed that Wu Jian was already beneath him. His opponents were only the three top young sword cultivators in the 700 states of Lingdong, Feng Yunxiu, Jian Ruohan, and Yejian Qiu.

Ji Bei was incredibly excited. According to Lin Bai’s words, even if Lin Bai failed to defeat Feng Yunxiu, Jian Ruohan, Yejian Qiu, and others, making it into the top ten should be no issue.

Top ten!

If Lin Bai could make it into the top ten, Spirit Sword Sect would undoubtedly shine brilliantly.

In Elder Ji Bei’s heart, he had expectations for Lin Bai: making it into the top ten would be just enough, just enough!

Elder Ji Bei excitingly said, "Lin Bai, we are looking forward to your good news. The martial arts competition is in two days. Rest well, we will not disturb you anymore."

Lin Bai laughed, "Elder, you may take your leave, and quietly wait for the good news."

"Alright, alright," Elder Ji Bei excitedly replied, laughing.

Then, Elder Ji Bei, Nanli Dao, and Ye Guxing left the Sword River Palace.

"Lin Bai, you are truly the savior of the Spirit Sword Sect," Elder Ji Bei said cheerfully.

Nanli Dao smiled bitterly, "I, Ye Guxing and Lin Bai all joined the Spirit Sword Sect together. Now, our cultivation is only at the Heaven Martial Realm Ninth Layer, while Lin Bai dares to challenge the young sword cultivator giants from the Lingdong 700 States."

"Comparing oneself to others will only make one angry."

Ye Guxing, proud and aloof, was a sword cultivator himself. He then said, "There is indeed something legendary about Lin Bai! Starting with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul, he managed to climb his way from a mere Warrior to the most glorious, honorable and illustrious battlefield of sword cultivators in the Lingdong 700 States. He indeed is a remarkable personality."

Ji Bei laughed, "Then both of you need to work harder, you are not much inferior to Lin Bai."

Nanli Dao gave a bitter smile.

Ye Guxing said, "Once, I thought it wouldn’t be very difficult to catch up with his pace, but looking at it now, when our sights were still set on Wu Jian, Lin Bai’s focus was already on the young sword cultivator giants of the Lingdong 700 States."

"Just this vision is beyond our reach."

Elder Ji Bei, Nanli Dao, and Ye Guxing conversed during their journey back to the residence.

Elder Ji Bei, in particular, was extremely excited and happy, like an old man who just found a treasure, laughing non-stop.

It was late at night.

The moon was high in the sky.

Lin Bai was sitting beside Bai Zhiyuan’s bed, silently watching over her.

"Cough, cough."

At that moment, Bai Zhiyuan coughed lightly and woke up from her unconscious state.

"Zhiyuan, you’re awake," Lin Bai said with a laugh.

Immediately, Lin Bai waved his hand, the room flashed with spirit light, and all the lamps in the room lit up.

Bai Zhiyuan’s face was pale, and she weakly opened her eyes.

When Bai Zhiyuan opened her eyes, her face instantly lit up with a sweet smile at the sight of Lin Bai.

"Brother Lin Bai," Bai Zhiyuan called out affectionately.

"I’m here," Lin Bai laughed.

Bai Zhiyuan anxiously asked, "Brother Lin Bai, after you cut off Gentle Breeze Hermit’s arm in the Sword Immortal Tavern, the Famous Sword Manor didn’t blame you, did they?"

Lin Bai laughed, "No, don’t worry, I naturally know how to handle things."

Bai Zhiyuan timidly said, "Brother Lin Bai, I’m sorry. If I weren’t so willful, you wouldn’t have ended up in such a dangerous situation. If my sister finds out, I will get spanked again."

"Brother Lin Bai, I won’t be willful anymore."

Lin Bai laughed, "It’s alright, your Brother Lin Bai was born with a crass life and a thick hide. Can’t even be beaten to death."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhiyuan giggled, "Nonsense, my Brother Lin Bai is the most handsome, his skin is so white, just like a handsome lad."

"Brother Lin Bai, could it be that your parents saw how white you were and decided to name you Lin Bai?"

Lin Bai was stunned by Bai Zhiyuan’s sudden question.

Huh?

Bai Zhiyuan’s question made sense.

Could it be that his parents named him Lin Bai because he was so white when he was born?
