All the Warriors in the arena fixed their gaze on Lin Bai. They watched as the Sword Aura above his head grew inch by inch, and in no ti it reached a height of nineteen feet!
"This..." Sang Feng, Yu Yu, and Lin Chen’s pupils shrank in shock.
Lin Bai remained silent. When the Sword Aura above his head suddenly surged to twenty-one feet, it finally stopped.
Imdiately, Lin Bai asked, "Elder Dugu Fei, will this still make things difficult for you?"
Previously, Dugu Fei had said that Sang Feng, Yu Yu, and Lin Chen, with eighteen feet of Sword Aura, were tied for first place. Elder Dugu Fei said that was troubleso, because the Sword God Family only ever chose one person; there had never been such a thing as a shared first place.
But now Lin Bai’s twenty-one-foot Sword Aura towered over all the Warriors present, making him the undisputed number one.
So Lin Bai asked: would this still put Elder Dugu Fei in a difficult position?
Seeing the twenty-one-foot Sword Aura above Lin Bai’s head, Dugu Fei smiled slightly and said, "Hahaha, good, good, good. Truly worthy of being a Sword Art Genius. You’re all not bad!"
Then Dugu Fei looked over at the three of Sang Feng and the others, smiling without speaking. The aning was very simple: if you can still force your Sword Aura higher, then hurry up and do it; otherwise, I’m going to announce the first place.
Sang Feng, Yu Yu, and Lin Chen’s faces turned ugly. The three of them had originally planned to hide their Strength and explode in the final stage to win unexpectedly, but they had never imagined that soone even more monstrous than them would appear!
The three exchanged a look, smiled bitterly without end, and shook their heads slightly.
Dugu Fei chuckled and said, "Very well, since the dust has settled, then I’ll make the announcent!"
"In this year’s Sky Sword City Dao Discussion Martial Arts Competition, the first place is... Lin Bai!"
"And he will directly enter the Sword God Family for Cultivation!"
Dugu Fei said with a smile, "Congratulations, Lin Bai!"
Lin Bai gave a slight nod.
Dugu Fei said, "As for the others, you may temporarily return to ng Gu City to rest. After we Elders have discussed it, we will choose a few more outstanding Warriors from among you to join the Sword God Family!"
"Lin Bai, you should also return to ng Gu City to rest first. Once we’ve finished our discussions, you and the other Warriors will enter the Sword God Family together!"
Lin Bai nodded and said, "Alright!"
After that, Dugu Fei arranged for an Elder to part the mist of Yunng Marsh, so that all the Warriors could safely leave Sky Sword City and return to ng Gu City.
Lin Bai also led Lin Ye straight toward ng Gu City.
When all the Warriors had left Sky Sword City, left Yunng Marsh, and returned to ng Gu City—
The news of Lin Bai winning first place exploded through ng Gu City at once.
"News from Sky Sword City has arrived!"
"First place, Lin Bai—twenty-one feet of Sword Aura—crushing Sang Feng, Yu Yu, and Lin Chen, those three Tianjiao Sword Cultivators, and taking first place!"
"First place, Lin Bai!"
This kid’s na swept through all the Warriors in ng Gu City like a prairie fire.
In front of Donglai Inn, the Waiter heard the news and his heart shook violently. Shocked to the extre, he said, "It’s him, it really is him!"
Not long after, Lin Bai brought Lin Ye and arrived in front of Donglai Inn.
By now, in front of Donglai Inn, several thousand Warriors had gathered again, waiting for Lin Bai’s arrival.
Lin Bai walked over quietly and ca to the front of Donglai Inn.
All the Warriors, upon seeing Lin Bai, spoke in low voices, "Is that Lin Bai?"
"He’s the one who crushed Sang Feng, Yu Yu, and Lin Chen and took first place?"
"Not simple at all!"
"Who is this guy?"
"How co I’ve never heard of this person’s na before?"
"Lin Bai? That na sounds a bit familiar!"
All the Warriors’ Eyes fell on Lin Bai.
Faced with the gazes of the surrounding Warriors, Lin Bai said nothing and walked into Donglai Inn.
The Waiter greeted him with a beaming face and said, "My lord, you’ve worked hard. In the Premium Rooms, we’ve already prepared delicious food for you. You can eat sothing and then rest!"
"Please be at ease, my lord. In Donglai Inn, no one will disturb your rest!"
Lin Bai nodded slightly and remained silent.
Back in the Premium Room, Lin Ye ate so food, while Lin Bai drank from a wine gourd.
Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was Dawn the next day.
At this mont, the Waiter called from outside the door, "My lord, the Princely Heir Mo Chang of the Zhennan Royal Mansion requests an audience!"
Lin Bai nodded and said, "Let them in."
Imdiately, the Waiter pushed the door open, and Mo Chang entered Lin Bai’s room with An Chuxue, Wan Xing, and Hu Han.
Mo Chang saw Lin Bai standing by the window, looking out of it in a daze.
Mo Chang clasped his fists with a smile and said, "Congratulations, Brother Lin Bai. You entered the Sword God Family with first place results! These are so gifts I ordered the Zhennan Royal Mansion to prepare. I hope Brother Lin Bai will accept them!"
Lin Bai smiled and said, "There’s no need."
Mo Chang smiled and said, "They’re just so trinkets, mainly so at. I noticed your second younger brother seems to really like eating at!"
As he spoke, Wan Xing took so at out from his Storage Bag and placed it in front of Lin Ye.
When Lin Ye saw it, his Eyes lit up, but he didn’t lose control; instead, he looked to Lin Bai, asking for Lin Bai’s aning.
Lin Bai smiled helplessly and nodded.
Only then did Lin Ye step forward, pick up the at, and start gnawing on it.
Lin Bai said, "Princely Heir Mo Chang, you really know how to deal with people. You knew if you sent gifts I definitely wouldn’t accept, so you catered to my tastes and sent these ats to my second younger brother."
Mo Chang shook his head with a bitter smile and said, "This ti in Sky Sword City you overwheld all the others, Brother Lin Bai, but the Sword God Family also said they would pick a few other Warriors to enter the Sword God Family together!"
"I’m guessing those other Warriors will likely be Sang Feng, Yu Yu, and Lin Chen..."
Lin Bai imdiately cut Mo Chang off, shook his head, and said, "I’m not interested in the others entering the Sword God Family. Whether they get in or not has nothing to do with ."
"Princely Heir Mo Chang, just speak your mind."
Lin Bai looked at Mo Chang and asked.
Mo Chang took a deep breath and said, "Alright. I know Brother Lin Bai is still angry over what happened at Nan Wang Estate. In that matter, our Zhennan Royal Mansion was in the wrong."
"Our Zhennan Royal Mansion is willing to offer compensation..."
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Princely Heir Mo Chang, I said it already—speak directly."
Mo Chang smiled awkwardly. After hesitating again and again, he stopped beating around the bush and said straightaway, "I wonder if Brother Lin Bai would be willing to serve the Zhennan Royal Mansion?"
"If Brother Lin Bai is willing, whatever conditions you na, our Zhennan Royal Mansion can satisfy them!"
Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Not interested."
Mo Chang said, "I know, Brother Lin Bai, that your background is extrely noble..."
Lin Bai chuckled lightly and said, "Since you know, then you should understand: I don’t want to get too involved in the power struggles on the North State Earth. I’m only interested in the Sword God Family."
"As for the imperial struggles over the throne in the North State Earth, I don’t intend to ddle."
"And of course, I’m not particularly interested in the Zhennan Royal Mansion either."
Lin Bai said to Mo Chang with a smile.
"If Princely Heir Mo Chang wants to recruit a Strong One, you don’t need to waste too much ti on ." Lin Bai said to the Princely Heir Mo Chang bluntly.
