Chapter 1788: Chapter 1785 Master Apprenticeship Qualification Battle!

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, I’ll take you to the Executive Hall to handle your entrance procedures first."

Immediately, Sword Xuan brought Lin Bai back to the Executive Hall. When the old man saw Lin Bai return covered in blood, his eyes flickered sharply. Then Lin Bai took out the entrance qualification Token and handed it to the old man.

The Elder carefully inspected the Token for a few moments and then processed the various tedious entrance procedures for Lin Bai. Lin Bai received a Storage Bag containing the robe of an Inner Disciple of the Xuantian Sect, an Identity Token, maps of the Xuantian Sect and the Xuantian Domain, among other miscellaneous items.

The Elder then took a map from the Storage Bag and said, "This map displays the residences of the Inner Disciples of the current Xuantian Sect."

"The Inner Disciples of Xuantian Sect reside in the East Lake Mountain Range... On this map, any location marked in white is an available residence, while locations marked in red are already occupied by Warriors."

"You may choose any white-marked residence to stay in temporarily."

The Elder said indifferently.

Sword Xuan said, "Junior Brother Lin Bai, I reside in the eastern part of the East Lake Mountain Range, right here... Choose a place close to me so that we Brothers can look out for each other."

Lin Bai slightly nodded, "Then I’ll choose here."

As Sword Xuan pointed out his residence on the map, Lin Bai noticed that not far from there, on a Mountain, there was an unoccupied spot, and Lin Bai chose that location.

Seeing this, the Elder immediately took a Token from the Storage Bag and handed it to Lin Bai, saying, "This is the Magic Circle Token to activate your residence; keep it safe."

Lin Bai nodded slightly, and then the Elder gave a few more instructions before Lin Bai and Sword Xuan left, heading towards the East Lake Mountain Range together.

Lin Bai first sat for a while at Sword Xuan’s residence, and then Sword Xuan took Lin Bai to find his own residence.

Lin Bai’s residence was located halfway up a Mountain; the place was an average-sized palace equipped with everything a Warrior might need, including a reception hall, a Secret Chamber, and a Meditation Room.

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, since you just had a fight on the Fighting Peak, you need to rest now. I’ll visit another day; you should focus on healing." Sword Xuan said with a faint smile.

"Alright, Senior Brother." Lin Bai nodded with a smile.

After Sword Xuan left, Lin Bai walked back and forth in the palace to inspect it. Then, with a wave of his hand, a spiritual wind swept away all the dust in the palace.

Afterward, Lin Bai activated the palace’s Magic Circle and proceeded to the Meditation Room.

Lin Bai sat cross-legged in the Meditation Room and began operating the Five Elements Scripture to heal his wounds.

Three days later, Lin Bai’s injuries were completely healed.

At this time, Sword Xuan visited Lin Bai at his residence.

"Junior Brother Lin Bai, how are your injuries?" Sword Xuan asked as soon as he walked in.

Lin Bai replied with a light smile, "Although Senior Brother Gu Yuan’s punch seemed powerful, he exercised restraint and merely defeated me without intending to take my life, so the injuries weren’t too serious."

Sword Xuan nodded, "Senior Brother Gu Yuan is considered one of the more empathetic among the Xuantian Top Ten Talents, unlike the others who are all arrogant and prideful!"

Curious, Lin Bai asked, "Sword Xuan Senior Brother, now that I’ve joined the Xuantian Sect, how can I obtain the qualification to apprentice at the East Continent Academy?"

Sword Xuan replied, "It’s simple; in three months, there will be a Martial Arts Competition held within the Xuantian Sect, and the top ten will earn the qualification for apprenticeship!"

"And as for the current Xuantian Top Ten Talents, they undoubtedly have the best chance of earning the apprenticeship qualification."

"In past competitions, the top ten have almost always been the Xuantian Top Ten Talents, so they are considered certain to receive the apprenticeship qualification within the Xuantian Sect!"

Lin Bai’s eyes turned serious as he said, "So, to obtain the apprenticeship qualification, I must defeat one of the Xuantian Top Ten Talents?"

Sword Xuan gently nodded, "Yes, that’s one way to put it."

Lin Bai asked, "What is the cultivation level of the current Xuantian Top Ten Talents?"

Sword Xuan replied in a low voice, "Very strong. Among the Xuantian Top Ten Talents, except for Senior Brother Gu Yuan, the others are mainly at the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm, and their cultivation in comprehension and martial skills is extremely high, with tremendous strength!"

"They are considered peerless geniuses in the Xuantian Domain, and it’s extremely difficult to defeat them!"

"Are they all at the Great Perfection of the Yangshen Realm?" Lin Bai said with a slightly cold look in his eyes, secretly pondering in his heart.

Lin Bai’s eyes became more serious, muttering to himself, "With my current cultivation at the fourth level of the Yangshen Realm, defeating a ninth-level Warrior is extremely difficult, let alone a Great Perfection Warrior!"

"Even with the Heaven-reaching Sword Skill and Qingmu Divine Thunder, I still can’t defeat a Great Perfection Warrior."

"But if I use the Power of the Giant God, I can defeat a Great Perfection Warrior."

"However, I can’t always rely on the Power of the Giant God; furthermore, its growth is slow. If I hadn’t trained for so long in the Creation Divine Palace in the past years, the Power of the Giant God wouldn’t be this formidable now."

"..."

"Without relying on the Power of the Giant God, I must reach the seventh level of the Yangshen Realm to be absolutely sure of defeating a Great Perfection Warrior with my current state!"

Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed slightly as he fell into deep thought.

Sword Xuan also let out a long sigh and said, "Defeating the Xuantian Top Ten Talents is easier said than done, Junior Brother Lin Bai. This year, we probably don’t stand a chance; let’s wait until next year."

"Now, there are only three months left until the Master Apprenticeship Qualification Battle, I’m at the sixth level of the Yangshen Realm, and you’re at the fourth. It’s quite challenging to raise our cultivation to a level sufficient to compete against the Xuantian Top Ten Talents within three months."

"We can only wait until next year; by then, our strength should have increased significantly, reaching around the ninth level of the Yangshen Realm. Perhaps then we’ll have the qualification to challenge the Xuantian Top Ten Talents!"

Sword Xuan said plainly.

"Wait until next year?" Lin Bai’s eyes grew even more intense. Lin Bai didn’t want to waste too much time in the Xuantian Sect; he needed to get to the East Continent Academy quickly to find Lan Ling and learn about Kunxu’s whereabouts. Only then would Lin Bai understand what truly happened to Lin Duo.

"No! I can’t wait that long."

"This year, I must go to the East Continent Academy."

Lin Bai said with determination in his eyes.

"In terms of Sword Skill and martial techniques, I’m not much inferior to the Xuantian Top Ten Talents. Even in comprehension, I possess the Late Stage of Aurora Intent, but what I lack most is cultivation!"

"As long as I raise my cultivation to the sixth or even the seventh level in three months, I’ll have the strength to compete with the Xuantian Top Ten Talents for the apprenticeship qualification at the East Continent Academy!"

Lin Bai’s eyes sparkled with brilliance as he began to contemplate deeply.
