38: Chapter 38: Picking a Fight at Soone’s Doorstep 38: Chapter 38: Picking a Fight at Soone’s Doorstep After driving off Xu Rui, Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong tossed all the slop buckets out of their room and cleaned the house.
It was now noon.
Lin Bai took out so at from the storage space and barbecued it in the yard with Qi Shaolong and Iron Egg.
“Big Bro Lin Bai, you’re so formidable, can you guide in martial arts more in the future?” Iron Egg looked at Lin Bai with a face full of admiration.
“Yeah, Lin Bai, you’re too fierce.
You defeated Xu Rui with just one punch, is that your specialized fist technique?” Qi Shaolong was also greatly surprised by Lin Bai’s strength.
“Hehe, my fist technique isn’t that great.
What I’m best at is my sword skill.”
Lin Bai pointed to the Soul-Slaying Sword beside him and said with a smile.
Qi Shaolong was surprised once again.
Lin Bai defeated Xu Rui with just one punch without even pulling his sword.
If Lin Bai were to use his sword, Xu Rui would perhaps not even have a chance to blink his eyes.
He’d die on the spot under Lin Bai’s sword.
“It’s ready to eat.”
Lin Bai handed the cooked food to Iron Egg and Qi Shaolong.
Iron Egg grabbed the at and began to eat heartily.
“Lin Bai, you’re so amazing.
I don’t think the Divine Alliance would reject you even if you applied for mbership.” Qi Shaolong said.
“Divine Alliance?” Lin Bai gave Qi Shaolong a puzzled look.
Qi Shaolong smiled slightly and said, “It seems you don’t know.
The Divine Alliance is the top alliance within the Spirit Sword Sect, in which all nine of the core disciples are mbers.”
“And the alliance leader of the Divine Alliance is the Young Sect Leader!”
Although Lin Bai was new to the Spirit Sword Sect, he also knew about the hierarchy of the Sect.
The hierarchy included three thousand outer sect disciples, nine hundred inner disciples, only nine core disciples, and one Young Sect Leader.
The Young Sect Leader was a candidate to take over as the Sect Leader of the Spirit Sword Sect in the future.
The nine core disciples would beco the left and right arms of the new Sect Leader.
Therefore, every person who beca a Young Sect Leader would choose a group of central martial artists to follow and promote them to the positions of core disciples.
There were also martial artists who got the position of core martial artists through their own strength.
However, these people were few and far between.
Because being promoted from core disciple was to beco a Young Sect Leader.
If a disobedient martial artist got to the position of a core disciple, the Young Sect Leader would definitely take action to kill them because they threatened the Young Sect Leader’s position!
The Divine Alliance, as Qi Shaolong said earlier, was a power established by the current Young Sect Leader.
It was the most powerful alliance in the Spirit Sword Sect, and almost eighty percent of the disciples belonged to the Divine Alliance.
“So that’s how it is…” After hearing Qi Shaolong’s explanation of the Divine Alliance, Lin Bai was quite astounded.
“Shaolong, do you know so much about the Spirit Sword Sect?” Lin Bai asked curiously.
Qi Shaolong laughed: “Since I’m going to learn martial arts in the Spirit Sword Sect, I should naturally get to know about the customs and conventions here.”
“Lin Bai, if you beco a disciple of the Divine Alliance, don’t forget us and help us show off a little too.” said Qi Shaolong with a laugh.
“Haha.”
Lin Bai just laughed and didn’t say a word.
As for the Divine Alliance, Lin Bai didn’t know, nor was he interested.
Lin Bai ca to the Spirit Sword Sect just to borrow its cultivation resources.
“Shaolong, since you know so much about Spirit Sword Sect, do you know anything about Ling Tianzi?” Lin Bai asked Qi Shaolong again.
“Ling Tianzi!” Qi Shaolong was surprised.
“Why are you asking?”
“Just curious.
Do you know where he is?” Lin Bai asked with a smile.
Qi Shaolong said, “Ling Tianzi rarely shows up in the Spirit Sword Sect, so there’s very little information about him.”
“According to the information I have, Ling Tianzi is a mysterious person who joined the Spirit Sword Sect a hundred years ago.
No one knows what his strength is.”
“It is said that when he joined the Spirit Sword Sect, he had a battle with our Sect Leader Supre, but no one knows the outco of that battle.”
“After that, the Spirit Sword Sect assigned a mountain peak to Ling Tianzi.
He has been practicing hard on the mountain peak and rarely cos out.”
Qi Shaolong explained everything he knew to Lin Bai in detail.
“Where is that mountain peak?” Lin Bai curiously asked.
Qi Shaolong looked around, pointed to a tall mountain not far from the Disciple Academy, and said, “That mountain peak right there, is called White Cloud Peak.”
Lin Bai raised his head and took a deep look at the mountain peak and imprinted it in his mory.
Since Lin Yue asked Lin Bai to join Ling Tianzi’s sect, Lin Bai naturally had to visit White Cloud Peak.
However, at that mont.
The main gate of the courtyard was suddenly kicked open with a loud bang.
“Lin Bai, Qi Shaolong, co out and face your death!”
Xu Rui kicked open the main gate, shouting angrily at the three n who were barbecuing in the courtyard.
“It’s that good-for-nothing Xu Rui, he dares to co back!” In a fit of anger, Qi Shaolong grabbed his sharp sword and walked out of the room.
Lin Bai and Tie Dan followed him outside.
When they reached the doorway, Lin Bai looked out.
Outside the courtyard, a group of warriors with hostile looks were staring at the courtyard.
“Xu Rui, you dare to return!” Qi Shaolong said coldly.
“After attacking , you naturally have to pay a bloody price!” Xu Rui sneered.
“So, you were the ones who hit Xu Rui?”
At this mont, from the group of warriors behind Xu Rui, a long-faced youth erged, his face cold as he looked at Lin Bai and Qi Shaolong.
“Who are you?
This is a matter between us and Xu Rui, we ask that you do not interfere.”
Qi Shaolong said coldly.
“Ha ha, then rember my na, because in the future, you will live in fear of this na.”
“Rember it.”
“My na is Xu Shangjie!”
“Who is Xu Shangjie?
I don’t know him.” Qi Shaolong replied dismissively.
If Qi Shaolong didn’t recognize him, it was impossible for Lin Bai to recognize him.
“Are you really blind, our young master Xu is one of the three Newcor Kings of this year’s Spirit Sword Sect admissions!”
“The young master of the Xu family from the Imperial Capital!
An unparalleled expert who is about to break through into the True Martial Realm!”
Upon hearing Xu Shangjie’s na, the warriors behind him imdiately began to shout.
The Newcor Kings referred to the strongest few among the talented people who had co from various cities this ti around.
Since Xu Shangjie was widely recognized as a Newcor King, his strength was needless to say.
“I’m curious, since we’re all newcors just arrived at the Spirit Sword Sect, why are you bullying us?
Aren’t we on the sa side?”
Lin Bai asked curiously at this point.
A warrior said, “You don’t understand, only through fighting can you quickly and easily show your strength and get noticed by the sect.”
“Most importantly, to get the attention of the Divine Alliance!”
“This year, a total of 700 newcors have arrived at the Spirit Sword Sect.”
“To stand out amongst these 700, you first have to dominate in the courtyards and then you will have a chance to shine!”
“After the trial that ends in seven days, if you indeed perford exceptionally, the Divine Alliance will invite you to join.”
“Now you understand.”
The warrior said arrogantly.
“No wonder I heard that half of the newcors to the Spirit Sword Sect die each year before they even get a chance to go through the trial, all because they want to gain fa.” Lin Bai comnted with a casual smile.
Xu Rui yelled angrily, “Xu Shangjie, don’t waste any more words with them.”
“Disable their Dantian, then hand them over to for disposal!”
Xu Rui said to Xu Shangjie.
Xu Shangjie nodded silently, “There’s no need for to make a move against these two.”
“You guys go.”
Xu Shangjie gestured to the group of warriors behind him.
