Chapter 1005: Chapter 1003: Who Says I Can’t Become the Chief Disciple? (5 more)

The word "abuse of power" immediately sparked the indignation of all the elders present.

"Yes, as the dean of the Sword Art Academy, not leading by example and even abusing power!"

"At this rate, I fear the Sword Art Academy will soon be expelled from the Nine Courtyards."

"Alas, what are we to do? The future of the Sword Art Academy is utterly bleak!"

"..."

Many elders were speaking in hushed tones.

They didn’t dare to speak loudly, after all, Dugu Yun was the Dean of the Sword Art Academy and a powerful figure in the Flying Sky Realm—they couldn’t afford to provoke him.

Dugu Yun sat in his high seat, hearing the whispers of the elders all around, his smile gradually fading and a hint of sinisterness appearing on his face.

To be accused of abusing power as the dignified Dean of the Sword Art Academy!

This made Dugu Yun lose face.

"Who says I’m not the chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy?"

At this moment, Lin Bai said with a smile.

Clang——

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, all the elders looked at Lin Bai in unison, their eyes stunned.

What did he mean by that?

Even Murong Fei looked curiously at Lin Bai.

As everyone knows, Murong Fei is the chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy, and also a master on the Heroes List!

Murong Hai said coldly, "Since when have you become the chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy?"

Lin Bai replied indifferently with a smile, "Vice Dean Murong Hai, you keep talking about the rules of the Sword Art Academy, very well, let me explain the rules of the Sword Art Academy to you!"

"The rules of the Sword Art Academy state that among the disciples, whoever is the strongest is the chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy!"

"Isn’t that right?"

Lin Bai asked with a smile.

Murong Hai nodded slightly, "What about it?"

Lin Bai said with a smile, "Well then, I’d like to challenge Murong Fei. I think it’s time for someone else to take a seat as the chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy."

"If I become the chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy, then naturally I’ll have the qualifications to cultivate the Supreme Sword!"

"And Senior Dugu Yun wouldn’t be abusing power anymore, right?"

Lin Bai smiled faintly.

Hearing Lin Bai’s words, Dugu Yun himself got sweaty for Lin Bai.

Challenge Murong Fei?

You must have eaten too much.

Dugu Yun knew just how strong Murong Fei was, ranking within the top three on the Heroes List and not someone to be trifled with.

How could Lin Bai, who had only been at the Sword Art Academy for a short time, possibly challenge Murong Fei?

"You want to challenge me? Hahaha." When Murong Fei heard these words, he immediately laughed disdainfully and looked at Lin Bai with a pitying gaze, as if looking at an ant.

Lin Bai said with a smile, "What? Could it be that Murong Fei, the current chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy, is afraid to accept my challenge?"

Murong Fei laughed wildly, "What’s there to be afraid of? If I want to kill you, it would only take one sword!"

"Is that so?" Lin Bai said, intrigued, "Then you accept? Today, let’s have a change in the position of chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy!"

"If I win, I naturally become the chief disciple of the Sword Art Academy and have the qualifications to cultivate the Supreme Sword!"

"If I lose, I’ll die by your sword, thus giving an explanation to the Elder Pavilion of the Sword Art Academy!"

"It’s a win-win situation, what do you say?"

Lin Bai asked with a smile.

"Fine, since you’re so eager to seek death, I’ll grant your wish, come on." Murong Fei laughed coldly right away.

Lin Bai asked again, "Vice Dean Murong Hai, what do you think of this proposal?"

Murong Hai nodded, "It’s possible."

Hearing that Murong Hai had also agreed, Lin Bai’s face immediately showed a chilling smile.

"Hold on."

At this moment, Dugu Yun called out.

Lin Bai and Murong Fei both turned their eyes to Dugu Yun.

Dugu Yun said, "If you two want to fight, I won’t stop you, but with the Hero Ranking Martial Arts Competition coming up, if you want to fight, then do it on the Martial Arts Competition stage."

"After all, there’s still half a month left!"

Murong Hai’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and he was somewhat displeased, "After half a month..."

Dugu Yun said indifferently, "Murong Hai, if half a month from now Lin Bai is defeated by Murong Fei’s sword, then I shall admit to your accusation of abusing my powers. At that time, I shall personally resign from the position of Dean of the Sword Art Academy, and ask the Elder Pavilion to vote once more for a new Dean."

"Murong Hai, what do you think?"

Dugu Yun asked Murong Hai with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Murong Hai’s aged face couldn’t help but reveal a look of excitement, his body even trembling slightly with eagerness.

"Dean, such words should not be spoken lightly!"

Murong Hai cautioned.

Dugu Yun chuckled, "If Lin Bai loses half a month from now, I wouldn’t have the face to sit as the Dean of the Sword Art Academy under the accusation of abuse of power you’ve placed upon me."

"Isn’t this what you’ve always wanted?"

Dugu Yun said with a cold laugh.

After pondering for a moment, Murong Hai glanced at Murong Fei.

Murong Fei grinned, "Father, since the Dean has said so, let’s agree to it."

"Good, it’s a deal."

Murong Hai quickly accepted.

Dugu Yun laughed lightly, "Well then, since this matter is settled, and everyone is so busy, go about your own business."

"Lin Bai, stay behind!"

Dugu Yun said softly.

Immediately, Murong Hai and Murong Fei, accompanied by a group of Elders, left the Elder Pavilion.

"Heh!" As Murong Fei passed by Lin Bai, he revealed a disdainful and contemptuous smile on his face.

This smile deeply annoyed Lin Bai, as if Murong Fei was certain of his victory.

Soon, all the Elders in the Elder Pavilion had left, leaving only Dugu Yun and Lin Bai.

Sighing in annoyance, Dugu Yun looked at Lin Bai and let out a helpless sigh.

Lin Bai touched his nose awkwardly and walked over, "Senior Dugu Yun, it seems you were right. The Sword Art Academy is now completely under Murong Hai’s control. All these Elders look to him for guidance."

Dugu Yun said wordlessly, "My sighing isn’t because of that. The reason I’m sighing is, since Zhu Kun has discovered that you are cultivating the Supreme Sword, you should not have let him return alive."

Lin Bai gave a wry smile. He too wished it had been so, but when Black Dragon made his sneak attack, it gave Zhu Kun the chance to escape. Otherwise, how could Zhu Kun have possibly returned alive?

"Lin Bai, I’ll ask you once more, how confident are you in fully cultivating the Supreme Sword?" Dugu Yun questioned him again.

"I told you, one hundred percent confident," Lin Bai replied with a nonchalant smile.

"Do you really..." Dugu Yun said, some disbelief in his voice.

Lin Bai just smiled slightly.

A hint of satisfaction appeared on Dugu Yun’s face, "Good, it seems that after several hundred years of silence in my Sword Art Academy, the Supreme Sword is finally going to reappear on the Miracle Ridge. Haha, when that time comes, the Fist Daoist Courtyard that’s ranked first among the Nine Courtyards will have to tremble before the Sword Art Academy!"

The Fist Daoist Courtyard had always been renowned as the first among the Nine Courtyards.

There was no other reason but that there had been too many outstanding disciples from the Fist Daoist Courtyard over the years.

For instance, taking the Heroes List as an example, among the ten geniuses on the current Heroes List, five were from the Fist Daoist Courtyard!

It is clear how dominant the Fist Daoist Courtyard was on the Miracle Ridge!

"By the way, how confident are you in defeating Murong Fei?" Dugu Yun asked curiously, "You need to try hard. I have staked the position of Dean of the Sword Art Academy for you, and although I don’t care for this title of Dean..."

"You have to realize that the ten geniuses on the Heroes List all have the strength of the Earth Elixir Realm First Layer!"

"That includes Murong Fei, who is at the peak of the Earth Elixir Realm First Layer!"

"And you are only at the Human Elixir Realm Ninth Layer... you haven’t even reached Great Perfection!"

Dugu Yun looked at Lin Bai’s cultivation level and couldn’t help but worry.

Grinning, Lin Bai reassured, "Don’t worry, Senior Dugu Yun. If it were not for your insistence on setting the martial arts competition at the Hero Ranking Martial Arts Competition just now, Murong Fei might have died by my sword!"

"Besides, half a month is enough time for me to comprehend the remaining seven moves of the Supreme Sword."

"If I manage to fully cultivate the Supreme Sword, killing Murong Fei will be even simpler," Lin Bai said with a relaxed smile.

Seeing Lin Bai’s confidence, Dugu Yun said, a bit grudgingly, "Then it was me who meddled too much..."

"You ungrateful person, I was helping you!"

"In this half-month, you should not leave Divine Power Valley. As long as you can cultivate the Supreme Sword, even if you can’t defeat Murong Fei in the competition, I will not let you die!"

Lin Bai smiled faintly.

With Lin Bai’s current combat power, wielding the Nine-grade Spirit Tool Purple Cloud Sword and Qingge Sword, executing the Nine Rotations Sword Steps, combined with the power of "the Thousand-Sword Skill" and his Flying Swords, to slaughter anyone at the Earth Elixir Realm First Layer was more than enough!

If in this half-month Lin Bai could fully cultivate the Supreme Sword and also cultivate the Python Dragon Transformation to its First Floor, within the Earth Elixir Realm First Layer, there would be no adversary for Lin Bai!
