Chapter 1972: Chapter 1969: Flying Dragon Twelve Islands
After learning about the Southern Yard and Lan Clan’s news from Feng Wenjun, Lin Bai returned to his residence.
Lin Bai stood silently by the window, murmuring to himself, “According to Feng Wenjun, more than twenty years ago, the Lan Clan of the Southern Yard at the East Continent Academy once suffered a devastating disaster due to the bloodline legacy Martial Soul of the Lan Clan.”
“However, they were saved by a Heaven-defying Sword Cultivator. Although both the Lan Clan and the Southern Yard were severely weakened, fortunately, the Lan Clan did not completely perish and still retains a glimr of hope.”
“If I’m not mistaken, this Heaven-defying Sword Cultivator should be my father, Lin Duo.”
“And the Southern Yard’s Lan Clan is where Lan Ling belongs to.”
“It seems that to find Lan Ling, I must go to the Southern Yard.”
Lin Bai took a deep breath and said calmly.
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
After descending from the Nine Heavens Origin Mountain, the East Continent Academy gave all disciples who entered the Inner Gate a full month of rest to ensure they perform well at the Newcors’ Welcoming Assembly.
The so-called “perform well” ans trying not to be too badly beaten!
After this month, very few people left Welcoming Newcors Island. Everyone stayed there to recuperate as quickly as possible and prepare for the upcoming great battle.
Five days later, Ren Tingga ca to Welcoming Newcors Island once again.
“All disciples, gather at the square.”
“The Newcors’ Welcoming Assembly is about to begin.”
Ren Tingga stood in mid-air, his voice rumbling like thunder, spreading across the entire Welcoming Newcors Island.
Lin Bai, sitting cross-legged in his room, slightly opened his eyes when hearing Ren Tingga’s voice. He glanced outside, whispering, “Is the Newcors’ Welcoming Assembly about to start?”
Lin Bai got up, washed up quickly, and walked out of his room.
On Welcoming Newcors Island, amidst tens of thousands of surrounding houses, there was a massive square.
This square was the gathering place for all disciples.
Lin Bai arrived quite late, as most of the other disciples were already there.
In the crowd, Lin Bai even saw familiar faces like Yin Jiuling, Ning, the Pale Old Strange Man, and the Half-human Giant Beast.
The Four Heavenly Disabled Brothers’ injuries had healed. When they saw Lin Bai approaching, they smiled and nodded at him.
Since the formation of the Monster Alliance at the Nine Heavens Origin Mountain, the Four Heavenly Disabled Brothers’ hostility towards Lin Bai had significantly decreased, even progressing towards friendship.
Besides the mbers of the Monster Alliance, Lin Bai also noticed the warriors from the Tianjiao Alliance.
Wu He and Shi Zhongxian stood together, and when they saw Lin Bai approach, their eyes showed a hint of malice, coldly snorting in disdain.
In addition to Wu He and Shi Zhongxian, Lin Bai also saw Jian Kong, Shen Qin, Lin Yibing, Leng Yun, Blackstone Roland Sword Nine, Shui Qingling, and Huo Fentian, among other Tianjiao Alliance mbers.
Aside from them, Lin Bai saw others such as Lin Xiaoqing, Gu Yuan, Lei Chong, and Chai Ming.
When Lin Bai’s gaze t Lin Xiaoqing and the others, he showed a hint of surprise and glanced at them again.
Lin Xiaoqing and Gu Yuan then smiled at Lin Bai, a smile filled with slyness but devoid of warmth. Lin Bai knew at that mont that they still hadn’t returned Lin Xiaoqing’s Divine Soul…
Lin Bai coldly snorted and didn’t bother with them, deciding that if Lin Xiaoqing and Gu Yuan hadn’t returned to their original state after the Newcors’ Welcoming Assembly, he would definitely find these people.
If they were unwilling to return their physical bodies, Lin Bai would have no choice but to eliminate them entirely.
“Brother Lin.”
Feng Wenjun smiled as he looked at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai walked to Feng Wenjun’s side and nodded calmly, “It seems I’m not late yet.”
Feng Wenjun replied with a faint smile, “Indeed, you are not.”
Lin Bai stood by Feng Wenjun’s side, chatting for a while.
Ren Tingga waited for another half an hour before taking out a Golden Spirit Boat from his storage bag and said blandly, “Since everyone is here, let’s set off.”
“The location of this year’s Newcors’ Welcoming Assembly is… Flying Dragon Twelve Islands!”
All new disciples boarded the Spirit Boat together.
The Golden Spirit Boat once again pierced the sky, heading toward the distant horizon.
In days gone by, the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands were twelve desolate islets, only visited during the Newcors’ Welcoming Assembly. The visitors mainly consisted of veteran disciples coming to see the year’s newcors.
Presently, the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands are crowded with tens of thousands of veteran disciples, though many are rely there to enjoy the spectacle; those intending to compete have already entered the arena.
A bird’s-eye view reveals the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands ford like a coiling Divine Dragon, from which they derive their na.
On the First Island of Flying Dragon Twelve Islands, a coliseum-like structure was built, filled with nurous veteran disciples who laugh while gazing at the horizon as if they are waiting for sothing.
“I’ve heard the disturbance at the Nine Heavens Origin Mountain this year was quite significant?”
“I’ve heard too; it seems a substantial portion of the high-level authorities at the East Continent Academy was alard. Over a hundred Death Reversal Realm strong ones went near.”
“Moreover, it appears the Order Divine Court also got involved, but it’s uncertain if this is true?”
“That can’t be. The Order Divine Court normally only appears to maintain stability within the East Continent Academy and would not intervene unless that stability is threatened.”
“Rumor has it sothing genuinely threatening to the East Continent Academy occurred this year, seemingly related to the Demon Palace!”
“The resurfacing of the Demon Sect’s successor is indeed no trivial matter.”
On the First Island of the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands, many veteran disciples whispered about the situation.
In the coliseum stood twelve n and won, who were the center of attention.
Among them, three were dressed in robes with “Eastern Courtyard” embroidery, three had “Southern Yard,” three wore “Northern Courtyard,” and three had “Western Courtyard.”
Undoubtedly, these four were the representatives of this year’s Four Great Courts.
A young man in an Eastern Courtyard disciple robe smiled slightly, saying, “Have you heard? This year’s new disciples seem quite strong, having even ford the Tianjiao Alliance and Monster Alliance.”
As he spoke, the other disciples chuckled, “Indeed, quasi-Divine Martial Soul holders like Shi Zhongxian with Bloodline Legacy Martial Soul, Zi Donglai from the East Mountain Area, they’re certainly not pushovers.”
“And on the Monster Alliance’s side, there’s a disciple nad Lin Bai who almost single-handedly swept through the entire Tianjiao Alliance, showing truly impressive strength.”
“Ren Yu, are you ntioning the warriors from the Nine Heavens Origin Mountain now because you’re afraid?”
The other disciples looked at the young man who spoke first, teasing him.
This disciple, nad Ren Yu, was a distinguished disciple of the Eastern Courtyard. Hearing this, he let out a smirk of disdain, “There’s nothing in this world that I, Ren Yu, fear!”
“Just wait; I will defeat them all, be they Tianjiao or monsters, today they will all struggle to pass through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands!”
Other disciples laughed, “Then we’ll eagerly await your performance. They’re coming.”
As the twelve disciples in the arena were talking and laughing, a Golden Spirit Boat rapidly approached from the distant horizon.
