The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 475 - 474: Master and Disciple Competition

Chapter 475: Chapter 474: Master and Disciple Competition

Half a month passed. Lin Bai and Ling Tianzi conducted their martial arts training in the Tianhan Mountain Range.

Ling Tianzi guided Lin Bai’s exercise, cultivation, Flying Sword Skill, Sword-controlling Skill, and various other key points.

This half a month was the fastest and most beneficial time for Lin Bai’s growth.

At dusk,

Lin Bai, stepping on his Flying Sword, hovered high above the Tianhan Mountain Range. One moment he was soaring up to the Nine Heavens to gaze at the sunset in the distance; the next moment, he was hurtling down, weaving through the jagged rocks and hillocks of the mountain range.

"Lin Bai."

Seeing Lin Bai enjoying himself, Ling Tianzi called out with a smile.

Hearing Ling Tianzi’s shout, Lin Bai in the heart of the Tianhan Mountain Range responded with a faint smile. A flicker of his feet on the Flying Sword caused it to rotate, transforming instantly into a streak of light shooting towards the cliffside.

In the blink of an eye, Lin Bai appeared before Ling Tianzi.

"Master!" Lin Bai shouted in excitement.

Ling Tianzi chuckled, "By now, you have mastered the Sword-controlling Skill, and I have imparted to you the Flying Sword Skill. The next things you need to learn will require your own comprehension."

Lin Bai spoke respectfully, "I understand, Master. The Master opens the door, but training depends on the individual. I will not let you down."

Ling Tianzi said, "Good, I trust you."

"Let’s go. We should return to the Spirit Sword Sect. Tomorrow should be the succession ceremony for the new Sect Leader of your Spirit Sword Sect."

Only then did Lin Bai suddenly remember.

At that time, the Second Elder had announced that half a month later, the Spirit Sword Sect would invite the Shenwu Kingdom, all the surrounding Martial Arts Empires, and other large sects to witness the Sect Leader succession ceremony.

By now, Lin Bai had already spent half a month training in the Tianhan Mountain Range.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Yes, we should be heading back. Master, let’s have a race and see who reaches the Spirit Sword Sect first."

Ling Tianzi burst into laughter, "You cheeky monkey! You have only just acquired these skills, and already you wish to challenge your Master. Fine, since you’re so enthusiastic, I will help you with that."

"I’ll give you half an hour head start. Whoever catches Li Shanqing first wins. How about it?"

"If you win, I will give you another gift!"

Upon hearing Ling Tianzi’s words, Lin Bai’s face lit up with delight.

A gift from Ling Tianzi had to be something incredible.

Ling Tianzi had given Lin Bai three gifts so far.

The first was the Astonishing Wind Sword Skill. Lin Bai was still practicing this powerful sword technique which was one of the best among the Earth-level Martial Arts Skills due to its limitless changes.

The second was the Feng Lei Divine Wings. This speed technique had helped Lin Bai defeat numerous strong opponents and escape danger many times.

The third was the legacy of Flying Sword Skill. This was the most substantial gift Lin Bai had received.

Lin Bai was curious about what the fourth gift that Ling Tianzi planned to give him would be.

"It’s a deal then. Half an hour should be enough for me to reach the Spirit Sword Sect."

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Well, Master, I’ll go first. Remember, you can only start half an hour later."

Ling Tianzi watched Lin Bai with a smile and nodded.

"Alright!"

"Sword-controlling Skill, rise!"

With a full-hearted roar from Lin Bai, the massive sword lifted him into the air. It turned into a streak of light and rapidly disappeared into the Tianhan Mountain Range.

Lin Bai had great confidence in his Sword-controlling Skill’s speed.

His sword cut through the wind, covering ten thousand but eight hundred miles in an instant.

Standing on the Flying Sword, lin Bai saw mountains, rivers, earth, living beings, one after another, retreating under his sword.

Above the sky, flying birds and strong demon beasts were all overtaken by him.

At that moment, Lin Bai felt incredibly exhilarated.

Because only at this moment did Lin Bai feel that he had become strong.

At least, he was no longer that silly boy whom Lin Zi’er had scornfully called a wastrel in Lingxi City.

"Ahh––"

Excitedly standing on his Flying Sword, Lin Bai let out a thunderous roar that echoed throughout the mountains, startling all the demon beasts in the region.

"Sword-controlling Skill, go!"

Whoosh—

As the flying sword soared, the True Qi inside Lin Bai’s Dantian, the Gold Spirit Vortex, Earth Spirit Vortex, Water Spirit Vortex, and Fire Spirit Vortex all simultaneously erupted, the vast amount of True Qi surging out of Lin Bai’s Dantian like a tidal wave.

With a large amount of True Qi poured in, the speed of the flying sword accelerated again, covering ten thousand miles in a flash.

Spirit Sword Sect, White Cloud Peak.

Alone and depressed, Li Shanqing sat on the cliff edge of White Cloud Peak, drinking melancholy wine while watching the sunset on the horizon, the scene holding an air of desolation.

"It’s really solitary."

"Suddenly, there’s no Master on White Cloud Peak, no Junior Brother either."

"It’s just me now, really lonely."

Li Shanqing uttered solemnly, quickly downing a gulp of strong liquor, choking back the tears in his eyes.

Li Shanqing thought of some sorrowful things.

"The hundred-year period will soon be due, and Master’s Sword Art disciple has been found."

"Next, Master will leave."

"Junior Brother won’t stay permanently on White Cloud Peak, he will go to the Miracle Ridge, to Lingnan, to East Continent, to even further places."

"And I should also embark on my own journey NOW."

"We’re about to part ways."

Thinking of this, Li Shanqing took another gulp of the strong liquor.

Ling Tianzi stayed in the Spirit Sword Sect, to honor his hundred-year pledge with Jian Xuan, while simultaneously searching for a Sword Art successor.

The Way of the Flying Sword needed a successor, it couldn’t be lost.

And Li Shanqing had his own things to do. After Ling Tianzi left, Li Shanqing also needed to go his own way.

As for Lin Bai, he had to go find his parents, seek even greater Martial Arts, and wouldn’t stay long.

"Sigh."

Li Shanqing chugged several gulps of wine, looked at the sunset on the horizon and laughed, "Why think so much? We haven’t parted ways yet, and even if we do, it’s not like we can’t meet again."

"I wonder what powerful Sword Art Junior Brother has learned from Master."

Li Shanqing gazed into the distance.

Suddenly, at this moment, his slightly inebriated eyes caught sight of a swift light, flashing like lightning in the setting sun ahead, rushing towards him.

Li Shanqing narrowed his eyes, "Such a fast speed, even I can’t clearly see the person in the blazing light. Could it be that a high-ranking expert has come to the Spirit Sword Sect?"

Li Shanqing stood up, his expression becoming serious as he looked at the quickly approaching light.

"Hmm? Why is this aura so familiar?"

"It’s... Junior Brother!"

Li Shanqing was taken aback.

Li Shanqing exclaimed joyfully, "Master took Junior Brother away for half a month, and now that Junior Brother has returned, he has indeed transformed, not only has his Cultivation broken through to the Eighth Layer of the Heaven Martial Realm, but he has also mastered such powerful Flying Sword skill."

"Riding the wind, controlling the sword, he travels a hundred-eighty thousand miles in a blink of an eye."

"Many Flying Sky Realm experts can only travel a hundred-eighty thousand miles in a day."

"But Junior Brother, he’s done it in an instant."

Li Shanqing joyfully spoke.

"Junior Brother, Junior Brother, I’m here."

Li Shanqing stood on the cliff, waving both hands, calling out to Lin Bai with ecstatic joy.

With a solemn expression, Lin Bai stood on the flying sword, racing at full speed.

"Damn it, I didn’t expect the sword-controlling skill to consume True Qi so quickly, my Dantian Qi, Gold Spirit Vortex, Earth Spirit Vortex, Fire Spirit Vortex, Water Spirit Vortex are all about to be depleted."

Lin Bai cried out in surprise within his heart.

"But it’s good enough, it can sustain me until I reach the Spirit Sword Sect." Lin Bai laughed.

At this moment, Lin Bai noticed Li Shanqing on the cliff, waving at him.

"Third Senior Brother."

A peculiar smile appeared on Lin Bai’s face.
