Chapter 767: Chapter 765: The Curtain Falls, Number One Newcomer!

Lan Bai used poison to control everyone, and then headed towards the Golden Bell.

“So that’s it, poison!”

Lin Xuan’s brow smoothed out as he fully activated the Great Dragon Sword Soul to eradicate the invisible poison within his body.

Afterward, he drew his sword and blocked Lan Bai’s path.

“Put away your sword, don’t struggle,” Lan Bai said with a smile, “You’re not my match right now.”

He glanced at Lin Xuan without concern, “If you don’t want to lose too embarrassingly, I advise you not to make a move.”

“Is that so?” Lin Xuan also smiled, “What if I insist on taking action?”

“Then don’t blame me!” Lan Bai lifted his palm, a layer of emerald green light condensed on top, and he swung out rapidly.

“Five Poison Palm!”

The wind from his palm carried a deadly poison, touch it and you die, extremely terrifying.

“Not good!”

“Lin Xuan is going to have bad luck!”

“Quick, dodge!”

Many people exclaimed, very anxious.

Whoosh!

A streak of sword light shone, cutting through the void, splitting the toxic light palm in two.

“What!”

Everyone was stunned, not expecting Lin Xuan to still be able to mobilize Spiritual Power.

Lan Bai was also shocked, unable to speak: “You, you…”

“I’ve said that the first place isn’t so easy to obtain,” Lin Xuan said, “Now, do you still want to fight?”

“Forget it, you win, the first place is yours,” Lan Bai shrugged, “I can only settle for second now.”

“Not necessarily!” Murong Qingcheng suddenly said with a laugh, then colors swirled around her, nine lotus petals danced rapidly, eradicating the invisible poison.

Seeing this, Lan Bai’s face changed again, a bitter expression spread across his face.

“You city dwellers really are formidable, able to detoxify so quickly,” Lan Bai said sullenly, “Back home, I’m the number one Poison Master, no one can counteract my poison.”

No sooner had he spoken than he turned into a forest-green light, rushing towards the mountaintop.

Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng also used their movement techniques, quickly following.

Others quickly detoxified themselves in place.

Both of their movement techniques were stronger than Lan Bai’s, so they quickly overtook him.

Whoosh!

Two figures landed in front of the Golden Bell, it really was Lin Xuan and Murong Qingcheng.

“Who first?” Lin Xuan asked while stroking his chin, “Or shall we go together?”

Murong Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him, “I have the family inheritance, so the King Stone Statue isn’t of much use to me, you go first.”

“However, after this, you have to help me with Alchemy!”

“Sure!” Lin Xuan didn’t resist.

He was different from Murong Qingcheng, without a strong family backing, he had to rely on himself for everything.

With his right fist clenched, he punched the Golden Bell and instantly, the bell’s tone resonated, sending out a deep sound that echoed throughout the forest.

This also indicated that Lin Xuan had become the first-place winner of the freshmen contest.

“Lin Xuan!”

In the distance, many old students muttered this name, their expressions solemn.

And the several elders of the Immortal Martial Academy also nodded slightly, “Not bad, although he lacks Bloodline Power, his strength is quite formidable.”

After Lin Xuan rang the Golden Bell, people began frantically charging towards the mountaintop.

After all, the ranking they reached was related to the amount of Spiritual Value.

At this moment, Xiao Li and others also managed to rid their bodies of the invisible poison and quickly made their way up.

Soon, the entire New Student Courtyard contest came to a close.

In the sky, auspicious clouds drifted, and the two elders reappeared.

“The competition this time was splendid,” said Elder Hua. “The first place winner truly deserved the title, and the performances of the others were also outstanding. One could say that you all have great talent.”

“But,” he continued, “I must say, this is just the beginning of your time at the Immortal Martial Academy. I hope you will diligently train and strive to reach higher Martial Arts Realms!”

“Thank you for your guidance, Elder!” Lin Xuan and the others said respectfully.

“All right, the rewards will be distributed to you later. Now, you should all go back and rest.” Elder Hua waved his hand and then left with the crowd.

“Brother Xuan!”

After the elder left, the people from the Dragon Sword Pavilion down below all crowded around, each with an excited expression.

“So cool!”

“My idol!”

“Brother Xuan, how did you heal the poison?”

Many were curious.

Lin Xuan, of course, could not tell them the truth and just smiled, “Relax well for a moment. Tonight, I have prepared Spiritual Wine; we won’t return until we’re all drunk!”

“Okay!”

They were thrilled; Lin Xuan’s Spiritual Wine had incredible effects!

At this time, even more newcomers ran over, wanting to join the Dragon Sword Pavilion.

It couldn’t be helped; Lin Xuan’s previous performance was too astonishing, and having the first place among the newcomers indicated his immense future potential and power.

Thus, countless people wanted to join.

Some old students on a distant mountain peak frowned upon seeing this scene. “Looks like this kid won’t be joining us, will he?”

“What should we do? Should we suppress them a bit?”

“Hmph, it’s not that easy to create a club; just one strong person won’t cut it!”

“I don’t think the other top talents amongst the newcomers will join him.”

Some shook their heads, “Send invitations to the other few, but for him, we should try to subjugate him.”

“If we could recruit the entire club, our strength would increase significantly.”

The old students conversed in low voices, preparing for what was to come.

Meanwhile, Lin Xuan and the others returned to the New Student Courtyard to start their celebration.

A night of revelry.

The next day, everyone returned to their intense Cultivation.

As for recruitment, Lin Xuan entrusted it to Wang Li and the others, instructing them only to accept those who met the standards.

As for himself, he went to the True Spirit Hall to claim his reward.

Soon, he arrived at the True Spirit Hall, found the Guardian Elder, and stated his purpose.

“Oh, are you the first among the new students?” The Guardian Elder said after hearing this, giving Lin Xuan a second glance.

“Yes, not bad!” The elder flicked his fingers, transferring one million Spiritual Value into Lin Xuan’s Spirit Value Card, then said gravely, “Follow me.”

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and followed, knowing that he was likely being taken to the King Stone Statue.

However, much to Lin Xuan’s surprise, instead of arriving at some secret chamber as he had imagined, he was brought before an Array.

“Stand on it, and you will be teleported to the King’s Palace. There, you have three days to comprehend whatever you can, and what you can comprehend will depend on your Creation.”

The Guardian Elder finished speaking and took out a piece of jade from his Storage Ring, placing it into a gap in the Array. He then channeled Spiritual Power into the Array.

Instantly, the whole Array blossomed with light and was activated.

With a flash of white light, Lin Xuan disappeared from the True Spirit Hall.

“I wonder if this newcomer will be able to comprehend the King’s Inheritance?” The Guardian Elder said, with a hint of anticipation.

…

With a flicker of light, Lin Xuan’s figure appeared.

He steadied himself, quickly dispelling the disorientation from the Space Teleportation, and then cautiously surveyed his surroundings.

The space was dim, illuminated only by a few Luminous Pearls on the walls, which cast an unsteady glow. Lin Xuan looked around and saw that this was an ancient palace.

The mottled traces on the walls spoke of its age-old history, carrying the scent of bygone years.

Ahead were five doors, dark and vast, towering over ten meters, like impregnable fortresses.

The doors were tightly shut, not letting out a sliver of light. On either side of the massive doors were two stone statues of humanoid figures, holding swords, as if they were Guardians.
