Chapter 58 - A Dragon Power Sword Qi

“Damn it!

I just got halfway, and I can’t take it anymore.”

Lin Bai promptly stopped as the Devouring Sword Spirit kicked into action, sucking away all of the fresh blood from the Heaven Swallowing Demon Python, the Black Demon Wolf and the Flame Stepping Wild Bull.

A torrent of blood energy entered Lin Bai’s body, replenishing a bit of his lost blood energy.

The Blood Dragon in his Dantian, once again, became restless.

“Stay down!”

The Blood Dragon nearly broke out of Lin Bai’s Dantian and flew away.

Supplemented by the blood energy of the three True Martial Realm demon beasts, Lin Bai’s power increased dramatically in an instant, forcing the Blood Dragon back into his Dantian.

The Blood Dragon’s body shattered, turning into a strand of blood-red gas, quietly laying inside the Dantian.

“Damn, that was a close call.

I almost got killed by my own actions!”

Even though he had condensed Dragon Power Sword Qi, Lin Bai wasn’t happy at all.

Just now when he was condensing Dragon Power Sword Qi, had it not been for the presence of three True Martial Realm demon beasts, and Lin Bai timely stopping to absorb blood energy, he would have been killed by the Longhe Sword Skill sucking him dry.

After a long time of lingering fear, Lin Bai managed to calm his emotions.

“It seems that in the future, I’ll need to prepare more stuff to increase my blood energy when I continue to condense Dragon Power Sword Qi.”

“This is so difficult, if it wasn’t for my mastery of the Divine Demon Prison Sealing Secret, enabling me to quickly absorb the demon blood to replenish blood energy, I wouldn’t have been able to cultivate it.”

“As for others, even more so.”

Lin Bai shook his head, still shaken by his experience with Longhe Sword Skill.

“But a single Sword Qi, equal to the terrifying force of ninety thousand jin, this kind of risk, is indeed worth it.”

Seeing the calm Dragon Power Sword Qi in his Dantian, a trace of joy finally appeared in Lin Bai’s heart.

“Just don’t know how powerful this Dragon Power Sword Qi ultimately is.

When I condense more of them in the future, I can test their power.

But for now, since it’s just one, better not to waste it.”

Lin Bai smiled foolishly.

“I should go to White Cloud Peak now.”

Lin Bai had spent a full seven days in cultivation without stepping out of his door.

And now that he had just finished cultivating, he was ready to go to White Cloud Peak to acknowledge his master.

“Lin Bai, are you going out?”

As soon as Lin Bai stepped out, Qi Shaolong and Tiedan also left.

“Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve gone out.

I’m planning to take a walk.

Where are you guys planning to go?” Lin Bai curiously looked at Qi Shaolong and Tiedan.

Qi Shaolong and Tiedan both blurted out: “Of course we’re going to watch the outer sect martial arts competition.

Recently there have been many old disciples who have challenged the newly admitted warriors.”

“They’ve been fighting for seven or eight days already.

Yesterday Ye Guxing took the stage and defeated nine True Martial Realm Second Level warriors.”

“How impressive!”

Tiedan excitedly narrated.

“Has Ye Guxing broken through to the True Martial Realm?” Lin Bai asked curiously.

Lin Bai remembered that during the trial, Ye Guxing was only at the peak of Martial Arts Ninth Level.

“He has broken through.

Supposedly he just did yesterday.” Qi Shaolong said.

“Lin Bai, do you want to come with us to watch?

You are the Newcomer King in the trial.”

“If you go, it’d give the rookie warriors a lot of face.”

Qi Shaolong looked at Lin Bai expectantly.

Lin Bai shook his head: “Not today.

I have some stuff to do.

If there’s still competition tomorrow, I might go and watch.”

After parting with Qi Shaolong and Tiedan,

Lin Bai headed straight for White Cloud Peak.

This time, Lin Bai didn’t sneak up there but entered openly through the main entrance.

“Disciple Lin Bai, here to pay respect to senior Ling Tianzi.”

Upon reaching the mountain peak, Lin Bai respectfully saluted.

His voice echoed within the five palaces at the peak, but no reply came for a long time.

“Is Ling Tianzi not home?”

Lin Bai muttered to himself.

“Disciple Lin Bai, here to pay respect to senior Ling Tianzi.”

Lin Bai continued to shout.

“Enough, stop yelling.

My master asked me to tell you, he will not take you as a disciple.” At this moment, an impatient young man came out of the palace.

Having come to White Cloud Peak, Lin Bai also made some inquires and learned that Ling Tianzi already had a disciple.

This person in front of him was Li Shanqing.

“You must be Senior Brother Li.

Hello, Senior Brother, my name is Lin Bai.”

Lin Bai called out joyfully.

“I already know your name,” Li Shanqing said.

Lin Bai said, “Senior Brother, can I meet Master?”

“Master already said he’s not taking on disciples anymore.

You should go home,” Li Shanqing responded with a smile.

Lin Bai said, “I must take Ling Tianzi as my master, and you can’t stop me.”

“Oh, are you planning to force your way in?” Li Shanqing glared at him and shouted.

“Indeed, that’s my intention!”

Lin Bai pulled out his Soul-Slaying Sword, squinted at Li Shanqing and said, “Don’t try to stop me.

If you do, I won’t be polite.”

“Hehe, already behaving disrespectfully before you’ve grown any hair.”

Li Shanqing was taken aback, then scoffed with a laugh, “Alright, come on, let’s spar.”

“Take this!”

Lin Bai shouted out and shot a sword straight at Li Shanqing’s face.

“You little bastard, going straight for the face in your opening move, don’t you know I depend on my face to make a living!”

Li Shanqing nimbly dodged his attack.

“With that flamboyant display of yours, you still think you can show off in front of me…Huh?

Where did he go?”

Li Shanqing evaded Lin Bai’s sword attack, turned around, only to find Lin Bai gone.

Then, Li Shanqing hastily looked towards the palace, saw that Lin Bai had already run into it.

“Senior Brother Li, enjoy your time.”

Lin Bai shot a smile at Li Shanqing and darted into the palace.

“Damn it, this brat has tricked me.”

Li Shanqing rushed into the palace.

Once inside the palace, Lin Bai began searching frantically and quickly found Ling Tianzi.

“Do you know that intruding my palace can be punished by death!”

Ling Tianzi said coldly.

“Senior Ling Tianzi, I am sincerely here to ask to be your disciple,” Lin Bai told Ling Tianzi.

Li Shanqing arrived late, glared at Lin Bai, “You little brat, you run pretty fast.”

Lin Bai gave Li Shanqing a sheepish grin.

Ling Tianzi asked, “We have never met before, why are you so intent on having me as your master?”

“My third uncle said that among the entire Spirit Sword Sect, only you can teach me.”

“And I’ve been to White Cloud Peak before, and I found my third uncle was right.”

Lin Bai said with a faint smile.

“Who is your third uncle?” Ling Tianzi curiously asked.

“My third uncle is just a nameless person, his name is Lin Yue.”

Lin Bai casually replied.

“Lin Yue!” Ling Tianzi’s eyes narrowed at the mention of this name, and he asked again,

“He is your third uncle?

Then who is Lin Duo to you?”

“You know my father?” Lin Bai asked in surprise.

Ling Tianzi chuckled, “So that’s your father, no wonder you two look so alike.”

“Alright, for the sake of Lin Duo, I will give you an opportunity.”

“Lin Bai, but before I take you as my disciple, I have to give you a test!”

“In four months, the Outer Sect Disciples Ranking War will begin.

If you can become the first among the Outer Sect Disciples in these four months, I will take you as my registered disciple and pass on to you an unparalleled sword skill.”

“If you can become a core disciple within one year, I will accept you as a formal disciple and impart to you all my learnings.”

Ling Tianzi said indifferently.

“Are you serious?” Lin Bai asked, overjoyed.
