The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1357 - 1355: Young Master Level Genius!

Chapter 1357: Chapter 1355: Young Master Level Genius!

As they chatted leisurely, Lin Bai broadened his horizons considerably.

Especially the three realms of comprehension known as Destroyer, which particularly shocked Lin Bai.

And the fact that Zhang Jianxing was cultivating the Destruction Realm, there was no doubt that once Zhang Jianxing fully mastered the Destruction Realm and reached the Great Perfection, he would be acknowledged as a true Destroyer, possessing the power to destroy worlds!

Soon, Lin Bai and Xue Qing returned to the Tianbao Inn, while Ni Xiangen and Xiang’er bid farewell to Lin Bai to start preparing for the apprentice recruit martial arts competition in three days.

As Lin Bai, Ni Xiangen, and the others departed, Young Master Qian Shui soon left the banquet as well, followed by Star Prince and Young Master Hu Long; Zhang Jianxing, who already disliked such ostentatious banquets, had left early!

After The Three Young Masters and Wine Fairy, the masters of the Two Demonic Swords, left one after the other, the banquet lost all its appeal and thus came to its conclusion!

Back at the Tianbao Tower Inn, Lin Bai handed over all the demon beast corpses from his storage bag to Xue Qing to sell to Tianbao Tower!

The price offered by Tianbao Tower also greatly satisfied Lin Bai.

Among the demon beasts in Lin Bai’s storage bag were about two hundred heads, including the ones Lin Bai had slain in the Night Crow Mountain Range after his arrival, as well as the Beast King, the Clouded Leopard.

It seemed that Tianbao Tower, in order to leave a good impression on Lin Bai, the successor of the Demonic Sword, deliberately offered some extra spiritual stones!

Lin Bai initially estimated that these demon beasts could sell for a total of about ten billion spiritual stones at most, but in the end, Tianbao Tower’s offered price turned out to be fifteen billion spiritual stones, which delighted Lin Bai as well.

Free spiritual stones, take them or leave them!

After the Tianjiao banquet ended, the next day, the happenings of the Tianjiao banquet began to spread!

Among them, the most shocking was The Two Demonic Swords’ face-off.

"Have you heard? The masters of The Two Demonic Swords, Dongfang Bai and Zhang Jianxing, met each other at the banquet!"

"Of course, I’ve heard. How could such a big event go unnoticed? The Two Demonic Swords meeting for the first time in six thousand years!"

"It’s confirmed now; the masters of The Two Demonic Swords will have a proper sparring session at the apprentice recruitment!"

"My goodness, the Demonic Sword is going to battle the Demon Sword?"

"This apprentice recruitment in Purple Gold City might just be recorded in the martial arts history books of the Lingnan Continent."

"It’s said that the Sixth Prince of the Azure Dragon Empire has already summoned the historians over, to document this martial arts competition into the history books!"

The entire Purple Gold City was discussing The Two Demonic Swords’ showdown!

On the sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, with one day left before the recruitment, the rules for the apprentice recruitment were released.

Every year’s apprentice recruitment rules, set jointly by the Lord of Purple Gold City and the big shots from the Seven Major Sects, would be published before the event, to inform all the warriors participating in the recruitment.

Xue Qing excitedly ran to Lin Bai’s door and knocked.

After Lin Bai opened the door, he saw Xue Qing’s face brimming with excitement and awe, so he joked immediately, "Xue Qing, why the rush again, could it be that both the Immortal Sword and Divine Sword successors have arrived?"

Xue Qing replied with an embarrassed smile, "Don’t make fun, Dongfang Big Brother. With the masters of the Demonic Sword and Demon Sword in Purple Gold City, there’s already enough gossip. If the Immortal Sword and Divine Sword successors were also to come, I reckon Purple Gold City would be turned upside down!"

"Dongfang Big Brother, the rules for the recruitment have been released, I’ve brought the inscripted copy especially for you."

Lin Bai was delighted upon hearing this, "The recruitment rules, let me see."

Xue Qing took out an inscripted copy of the rules from his storage bag and handed it to Lin Bai!

Lin Bai opened it and began to read seriously.

Xue Qing explained on the side, "This year’s recruitment isn’t much different from previous years; it’s divided into two parts!"

"The first part is the testing of the Martial Soul’s grade on the morning of the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month at the Central Square in Purple Gold City!"

"And then comes the second part, the martial arts competition."

Xue Qing said calmly.

"The venue for the martial arts competition is set in the Night Crow Mountain Range!"

"After the Martial Soul grade test concluded, all the Warriors participating in the apprenticeship process would enter the Night Raven Mountain Range in batches, where a large number of geniuses would freely exchange pointers."

"Before entering the Night Raven Mountain Range, Purple Gold City would give each participant a bracelet, a bracelet known as the Qi Yun Spiritual Power Bracelet!"

"This Qi Yun Spiritual Power Bracelet has no offensive power, but it contains extremely pure Spiritual Power within, which Warriors can compete for in the Night Raven Mountain Range."

"After the Martial Arts Competition ends, the Qi Yun Spiritual Power they’ve won can be absorbed by the Warriors, potentially leading to a breakthrough in their State."

"Each Warrior’s initial Qi Yun Spiritual Power is different, and it is awarded based on their ranking on the Sky Ladder of Tianbao Tower."

"For example, a Warrior on the First Step of the Sky Ladder would start with one hundred Zhang of Qi Yun Spiritual Power."

"A Warrior on the Second Step of the Sky Ladder would start with fifty Zhang of Qi Yun Spiritual Power."

"A Warrior on the Third Step of the Sky Ladder would start with thirty Zhang of Qi Yun Spiritual Power."

"All other Warriors who failed to reach the Sky Ladder would uniformly start with ten Zhang of Qi Yun Spiritual Power."

Xue Qing spoke indifferently.

Just as Xue Qing finished speaking, Lin Bai also finished going through the rules of the Martial Arts Competition and immediately asked with curiosity, "Does this Qi Yun Spiritual Power really have such a significant effect?"

Xue Qing spoke with a face full of surprise, "It really is very effective. Most of the Warriors who come to participate in the apprenticeship are mainly here for this Qi Yun Spiritual Power!"

"Many Warriors have directly broken through from the Great Perfection of Flying Sky Realm to the Yin Saint Realm after obtaining a large amount of Qi Yun Spiritual Power!"

"This can be considered a small reward for the Warriors participating in the Martial Arts Competition," Xue Qing slowly added.

Lin Bai nodded in enlightenment.

Xue Qing continued, "Big Brother Dongfang, during the time of exchanging pointers and competing in Martial Arts within the Night Raven Mountain Range, Tianbao Tower and the 72 Dynasties of Lingnan will form a special observing team."

"The sole purpose of this team is to observe the Warriors within the entire Night Crow Mountain Range, and after the competition ends, they will use their judgment to jointly announce this year’s outstanding genius rankings on behalf of Tianbao Tower and the 72 Dynasties of Lingnan!"

"According to the historical rankings of previous years, this list of geniuses is typically divided into two stages."

"One is the Young Master Level, and the other is the Genius Level."

"The Genius Level is quite common. Each year at Purple Gold City, there are several dozen Warriors who make it onto the Genius Level."

"However, the Young Master Level is different. The number of Warriors who can make it onto the Young Master Level ranking is just a few each year, truly considered the creme de la creme of Lingnan Continent!"

"Five years ago in Purple Gold City’s apprenticeship, there were more than twenty Genius Level Warriors, while there were only two Young Master Level geniuses!"

Lin Bai nodded after hearing this.

Xue Qing said enthusiastically, "Big Brother Dongfang, once a Warrior makes it onto the Young Master Level or Genius Level ranking, they are recognized by all powers of Lingnan Continent, including the 72 Dynasties, the Seven Major Sects, Purple Gold City, and Tianbao Tower!"

"They recognize you as a unique genius of Lingnan Continent with immense potential."

"This will be recorded in the Martial Arts history books of Lingnan!"

"To not exaggerate, once this year’s list of geniuses from the Purple Gold City apprenticeship is published, the Warriors who make it onto the Young Master Level and Genius Level will instantly become famous across the Territories of all nations, and all powers will desperately vie for them!"

"With your strength, Big Brother Dongfang, it shouldn’t be too difficult to become a Young Master Level genius," Xue Qing said, looking at Lin Bai excitedly.

"Young Master Level, is that on the same level as Star Prince and Young Master Qian Shui?" Lin Bai asked curiously.

Xue Qing replied, "The current Three Young Masters are merely considered by Tianbao Tower as having the qualifications to compete for the Young Master Level slots. Whether they can truly become Young Master Level geniuses depends on the strength they display in the Night Crow Mountain Range!"

"If they aren’t qualified enough, then naturally their names won’t appear on the Young Master Level list."

Lin Bai nodded slightly, "Understood."
