Chapter 62 - Luoyan Mountain Range

“Is there anyone else who wants to step onto the stage?”

Lin Bai looked around at the hundreds of warriors below the stage, and none of them dared to step up for a battle!

“If not, then I’m leaving.”

Lin Bai asked again, many of the veteran warriors all lowered their heads.

The strength that Lin Bai demonstrated, was truly beyond their imagination.

Even Zhang Hua, who ranked within the top ten among the Disciples at the True Martial First Level of the Spirit Sword Sect, was defeated by Lin Bai.

As for the others – needless to say.

“Lin Bai, don’t be so arrogant.

The real masters of the Outer Sect haven’t arrived yet!”

A warrior said to Lin Bai, “You’re aiming to quickly establish yourself in the Outer Sect, but these two small victories won’t be enough.”

“If you’re really capable, do you dare to battle on the Wudou Platform?”

“Only on the Wudou Platform will you encounter the real masters of the Outer Sect!”

Many disciples yelled at Lin Bai.

“Wudou Platform!”

Lin Bai murmured to himself.

Within the Spirit Sword Sect, there were two most famous martial arts platforms.

One was the Life and Death Platform, which was specifically designed for disciples to settle their personal feuds.

The other one was the Wudou Platform.

On the Wudou Platform, one could only spar in martial arts and it was not permitted to kill.

Every time one ascended the platform, one first had to pay the base amount as a wager.

If anyone challenged, he would pay an equal amount of wager.

The winner could take all the wagers from both sides.

“Wudou Platform, I’ll go, but not now.”

After jumping down from the martial arts stage, Lin Bai met with Qi Shaolong and Tie Dan, then went straight back to the Newcomer Courtyard.

Having just received 30,000 spiritual stones, Lin Bai couldn’t wait to absorb the spiritual energy and break through to the True Martial Realm.

“Big Brother Lin Bai, you’re too amazing!

Do you know?

That Zhang Hua is a influential figure among the disciples of the first level of the Spirit Sword Sect’s martial arts, yet he was defeated by your sword.”

Tie Dan looked at Lin Bai in awe.

“I have to work hard to cultivate so that in the future I won’t be bullied like Big Brother Lin Bai.”

Tie Dan smiled honestly.

Lin Bai smiled slightly in agreement.

Qi Shaolong was also smiling, but his smile seemed to contain less happiness.

Qi Shaolong, looking at Lin Bai’s back, showed a hint of jealousy in his eyes.

Upon returning to where he stayed.

“Let me try and see if I can break through to the Martial Arts First Level.”

Lin Bai quickly took out 30,000 spiritual stones, placed them in front of him, took a careful look, gripped the spiritual stone, activated his Devouring Sword Spirit, and instantly absorbed the spiritual energy within the stone into his body.

The Devouring Sword Spirit, nothing it cannot devour, nothing it cannot slash, and spiritual stones were no exception.

And the spiritual stone turned into sand, slipping through Lin Bai’s fingers, as if it had weathered over time.

“It seems like once the spiritual energy is gone, the spiritual stone is destroyed.”

“A single spiritual stone only contains this much spiritual energy?”

“Let’s continue!”

Having absorbed one spiritual stone, it was obviously not enough for Lin Bai.

He activated his Devouring Sword Spirit with all his might, and all the spiritual energy in the 30,000 spiritual stones was drawn out by Lin Bai in an instant.

The influx of spiritual energy into his body made Lin Bai feel full of strength.

“Breakthrough!”

Lin Bai let out a low roar in his heart, his face flushed, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Crack!

Crack!

After some time, the state within Lin Bai’s body began to loosen up, and it took a while before he finally entered the True Martial Realm.

“True Martial First Level!”

Lin Bai laughed happily.

Even before he could rejoice, Lin Bai continued to practice a while, solidifying his cultivation.

“30,000 spiritual stones only let me break through one realm, the spiritual energy in the stones is too little!”

Lin Bai lamented.

“Demon beasts’ demon blood is still faster!”

Lin Bai still wanted to continue hunting demon beasts to gain an advancement in his realm.

While in Qingling Mountain, Lin Bai massively hunted demon beasts one or two levels higher than him and, within just two months, he broke through from the first level of the Martial Arts to the ninth level.

“I remember there’s a big mountain range around the Spirit Sword Sect called Luoyan Mountain Range!”

“In Luoyan Mountain Range, there are demon beasts of the Martial Realm, True Martial Realm, even Xuanwu Realm and Earth Martial Realm.”

“With my current state being at the first level of True Martial, as long as I don’t provoke the demon beasts of the Xuanwu Realm and Earth Martial Realm, I should be able to explore around the periphery.”

Lin Bai grinned broadly.

If he wished to defeat Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong, both who was at the ninth level of True Martial in three months, Lin Bai must at least ensure that his Martial Arts realm was around the eighth level of True Martial so he could win decisively.

And to increase the level of True Martial from one to eight in the next three months, Luoyan Mountain Range was Lin Bai’s best place for cultivation.

After resting for a night, Lin Bai fully stabilized his state at the early phase of True Martial’s first level.

“Ye Suxin said that this is Sword Intention!”

Lin Bai felt a vague sense of determination within his body.

“Martial Arts will!”

Lin Bai went to the book storage of the Spirit Sword Sect and borrowed a book about Sword Intention.

“According to the book, my current Sword Intention should be at the early stage of the first level…

and the peak of Sword Intention is the ninth level, seems like there’s still a long way to go.”

Lin Bai was full of fighting spirit after becoming familiar with Sword Intention.

After packing up, Lin Bai stepped out of his room.

Lin Bai did not rush directly to Luoyan Mountain Range.

Instead, he first went to the Martial Arts Pavilion.

Although Lin Bai now had “Star-Slaying Sword Skill” and “Dragon River Sword Skill”, he lacked a body movement martial arts skill.

Without the skill of body movement, whether it is for chasing or escaping, he will be at a disadvantage, which is not good.

“Lin Bai?”

Upon arriving at the Martial Arts Pavilion, someone suddenly called Lin Bai from behind.

Turning his head back, he saw Ye Guxing and Nanli Dao standing together at a distance.

“You’re here to pick a martial art as well?” Nanli Dao asked, grinning as he approached.

Ye Guxing came along, nodding slightly at Lin Bai as an acknowledgment.

Being a man of few words, Ye Guxing did not like to chat.

Lin Bai smiled and said, “Yes, I plan to go to Luoyan Mountain Range to train and want to get a body movement martial art before I leave.

So, I came here to the Martial Arts Pavilion first.”

“You’re also going to Luoyan Mountain Range?

That’s a coincidence.

Ye Guxing and I also plan to go together, to hunt some demon beasts and exchange them for spiritual stones.”

“How about it, do we want to team up?”

Nanli Dao asked with a smile.

“I prefer to be alone.”

Lin Bai declined politely with a smile.

It’s not that Lin Bai didn’t want to team up with Nanli Dao and Ye Guxing, but mainly because there were too many secrets about him.

He was worried that if the Devouring Sword Spirit got exposed to the public, it might cause trouble.

Besides, teaming up with them would, although lead to the killing of many demon beasts, lead to a large problem of distribution.

Instead of being constrained, it’s better to be free on his own.

“That’s fine too.” Nanli Dao was awkwardly smiling.

At this time, Ye Guxing said, “Don’t go to the Wudou Platform recently.

The day you bullied the veteran disciple at Martial Arts Stage was too cruel and many experts among the veteran disciples have already announced that they would inevitably make you go to the Wudou platform.

Be careful or you’ll go in standing and leave lying down.”

Lin Bai frowned upon hearing this.

Those veteran disciples have targeted him.

“All right, thank you for your advice.” Lin Bai responded lightly with a smile.

“Let’s go in, let’s go into the Martial Arts Pavilion.”

Nanli Dao said with a smile.

Then and there, Lin Bai stepped into the Martial Arts Pavilion.
