Chapter 55 - I Don't Want To!
Chapter 57 of "The Unparalleled Sword Emperor" begins revealing exciting developments: Elder Ji Bei dismissed Xu Zailong and Xiang Tianyi.Ye Suxin was also taken away by... Donât stop now!
Elder Ji Bei dismissed Xu Zailong and Xiang Tianyi.
Ye Suxin was also taken away by them and did not participate in the subsequent Disciple Recruitment Conference.
To become a disciple was for the elders of Zhi Ling Jian Sect to cultivate outstanding students.
Ji Bei, heading a group of about three hundred surviving warriors, came to the Disciple Acceptance Hall.
Of the more than seven hundred people who participated in the assessment, only a little over three hundred survived.
The survival rate was extremely low.
Apart from a few Newcomer Kings, Lin Bai didnât kill many people.
In the Disciple Acceptance Hall.
The inner sect elders of Spirit Sword Sect were already waiting here.
As they watched Ji Bei leading the warriors in, they all gave a slight smile.
In the crowd, Lin Bai, Qi Shaolong, and others stood together.
âHe is Ling Tianzi!â
Ji Bei whispered to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai turned his head to look at a middle-aged man standing at the end of the Elder Pavilion with long hair over his shoulders, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and an extraordinary heroic air.
He was startled.
Ling Tianzi didnât notice Lin Bai.
He just kept his eyes slightly closed, restoring his mind.
âOver seven hundred people and more than three hundred survived, not bad.â
When Ji Bei entered with the warriors, the Grand Elder of the Elder Pavilion said with a chuckle.
âElder Ji Bei, please announce the ranking of this reassessment trial to give some reference to my fellow elders,â said the Grand Elder with a smile.
âAlright.â
Ji Bei agreed and announced the well-calculated rankings.
âIn this reassessment trial, ten people did exceptionally well and obtained many tokens.â
âStarting from the tenth spot, itâs Sun Wang, with thirty-one common tokens.â
The Grand Elder looked for him earnestly: âSun Wang, where are you?
Step forward.â
âDisciple is here!â
At this point, a thin young man, his body shaking from nervousness, stood next to Ji Bei.
âShow your Martial Soul rank,â the Grand Elder commanded.
âYes.â
Sun Wang took action as directed, and a burst of light dazzled.
Seven yellow rings appeared around Sun Wang.
âA yellow-level seventh-rank Martial Soul, not bad.â
The Grand Elder gave a modest compliment: âFellow elders, is there anyone who wants to take Sun Wang as a disciple?â
Sun Wang stood in the arena, somewhat nervous, but also expectant.
If he was taken as a disciple by an elder today, it would be like rocketing to success within Spirit Sword Sect.
Having an elder as a backstage supporter, not unlike how Ji Bei had always guarded Lin Bai, meant even the Divine Alliance had to be a bit reserved.
Therefore, this discipleship session was very important to all newly arrived warriors.
In the Disciple Acceptance Hall, over a hundred elders looked at Sun Wang.
âSince everyone is silent, I will take him.â
An old man who had waited for a long time, but no one had spoken, stepped forward with a smile.
âIâm Kong Shuang, Sun Wang.
Are you willing to be my disciple?â The old man walked over and asked Lin Bai.
Kong Shuang held a decent status among the elders.
When the other elders heard that Kong Shuang wanted to take a disciple, they all smiled lightly and didnât try to compete with him.
âDisciple is willing.â Sun Wang replied, hurriedly knelt down: âGreetings, master.â
âGet up, wait over there.
When the discipleship session is over, you will come back to the mountain with me for cultivation.â
Each elder had been assigned an independent mountain peak.
They didnât have to squeeze in with the crowd.
At this time, Ji Bei continued: âThe eighth one, Zhang Xunlong, thirty-five common tokens.â
âZhang Xunlong?
A descendant of the Zhang family?â The Grand Elder turned to an old man with black hair and laughed.
âGrand Elder, he is indeed a descendant of the Zhang family.
Xunlong, come to your second uncle.â
The old man with black hair stood up with a smile.
âYes.â Zhang Xunlong responded and walked behind the black-haired old man.
Ji Bei continued to announce the rankings.
Qi Shaolong and Tiedan only killed twenty demon beasts, and they did not even make it into the top ten.
âThe fourth-place position in this assessment is Wang Ba, with thirty-nine common tokens!â
This disciple named Wang Ba was taken as a disciple by an elder.
âIn the third place of this assessment is Ye Guxing, with ninety-two common tokens.â
Ji Bei continued.
âNinety-two common tokens!â
âItâs Ye Guxing, my god, the Newcomer King is frighteningly powerful.â
âThe difference between third and fourth place is just one rank, but the difference is more than fifty tokens!â
Upon hearing this number, all the warriors present sucked in a cold breath.
Ye Guxing, silent and solemn, walked slowly to the front and bowed to all the Elders.
âYe Guxing, would you be willing to become my disciple?â
âI also desire to take you as my apprentice!â
On the spot, in the Disciple Acceptance Hall, two Elders who had been silent for a long time spoke up.
âMy god, the top ten Elders are fighting over him!â
âAmong the top ten Elders, both Zhang Yi and Zhao Qian want to take Ye Guxing as their apprentice!â
The other warriors watched this scene in awe.
They couldnât find a single person willing to take them on, yet as soon as Ye Guxing stepped forward, two of the top ten elders volunteered to be his master.
Comparing oneself to others could truly drive one to despair.
âWho exactly are these top ten Elders?â Lin Bai asked Qi Shaolong by his side.
Qi Shaolong replied in a low voice, âIn the Spirit Sword Sect, the Elders are also ranked.
The top ten Elders are currently the ten strongest elders in the sect, with the Grand Elder at the head.â
âI see,â responded Lin Bai in sudden realization.
So, the Grand Elder was one of the top ten Elders.
âBe careful, this Grand Elder is Xiang Tianyiâs father,â Qi Shaolong added in a whisper.
âWhat?â
Lin Bai was a bit surprised.
âI would like to take Elder Zhang Yi as my master.â After some hesitation, Ye Guxing quietly spoke.
Discovering that Ye Guxing hadnât chosen him, Zhao Qian sneered, âHumph, I hope you wonât regret it!â
He then returned to his seat, his expression dark.
Zhang Yi joyously accepted Ye Guxing.
Ji Bei continued, âThe second place in this assessment belongs to Nanli Dao, with one hundred and twenty-three tokens.â
âIâll take Nanli Dao.â
Just as Ji Bei finished speaking, an old man stood up and said this.
âItâs another one of the top ten Elders, Ji Bai!â
Warriors were taken aback when they saw this old man step forward.
One of the top ten Elders, Ji Bai, laughed heartily, âHonestly, Nanli Dao is a gem I discovered outside.
Thus, I led him to the Spirit Sword Sect.â
âGiven that, the rest of you would inevitably not want to compete with me.â
Ji Bai laughed again.
After the other Elders had laughed and joked a bit, Nanli Dao was smoothly accepted by Ji Bai.
Nanli Dao was second, and next came first place.
âI have three hundred twenty-one Common Tokens and one Purple Token, so I must be in first place, right?â
Lin Bai took a deep breath and said.
Ji Bei spoke again, looking at Lin Bai, âThe first place of this assessment goes to Lin Bai, with three hundred twenty-one Common Tokens and one Purple Token.â
Lin Bai stepped forward and saluted, âGreetings to the Elders.â
Upon seeing Lin Bai, Ling Tianziâs eyes also showed a hint of interest.
âLin Bai is really amazing!
More than three hundred tokens, my goodness!â
âNanli Dao, in second place, only has a little over a hundred tokens.
Meanwhile, Lin Bai has over three hundred.
Is the gap really that big?â
Many warriors commented incredulously.
âThree hundred twenty-one Common Tokens and one Purple Token, Lin Bai, youâre something.â
The Grand Elder spoke with a smile, âWell then, would you be willing to take me as your master?â
The Grand Elder stood up with a kindly smile, looking at Lin Bai.
The Grand Elder was the first among the top ten Elders of the Spirit Sword Sect, second only to the Spirit Sword Sect Leader.
When he expressed his desire to take Lin Bai as his disciple, he was confident that Lin Bai would not refuse.
âThe Grand Elder wants to take a disciple, my goodness, the premier of the top ten Elders wants to take a disciple!â
âThis is a divine opportunity!â
âExactly, with the Grand Elderâs backing, wonât Lin Bai be in a position to walk sideways in the Spirit Sword Sect?â
âLin Bai, agree quickly.
Once you agree, the Outer Sect, Inner Gate, Core Disciple positions will all be within your reach.â Qi Shaolong urgently whispered to Lin Bai.
Upon hearing the Grand Elderâs offer, Lin Bai frowned.
This man was Xiang Tianyiâs father, and Lin Bai was planning to kill Xiang Tianyi in three monthsâ time.
If he took him as his master, wouldnât that put the label of a master betrayer and lineage destroyer on him?
Moreover, Lin Bai didnât want to take the Grand Elder as his master.
He wanted to enter Ling Tianziâs tutelage.
âGrand Elder, IâŚ
decline!â
