The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 762 - 760: The Fourth Test! Fear and Inner Demons!

Chapter 762: Chapter 760: The Fourth Test! Fear and Inner Demons!

As Lin Bai stepped into the fourth stage.

The warriors in front of the Ascension Tower exclaimed again, "Lin Bai has passed! It’s unbelievable! Lin Bai actually found the flaws in his sword skills in just a few breaths, and defeated the two clay figures."

"How did he manage to do that?"

"Yeah, is the sword skill he’s cultivating very rudimentary?"

Many warriors spoke with baffled expressions on their faces.

"Lin Bai is the first to pass the third stage, rising from the ninth stone stele to the first, and even suppressed Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng."

Spectating the Lin Bai on the first stone stele, all the warriors in the field were dumbfounded.

Defeating the clay puppets of the third stage in just a few breaths was unheard of in the tests of the Miracle Ridge.

Upon seeing this, Liujing Feng’s eyes narrowed instantly: "How is this possible! The time it took for past warriors to pass the third stage was about half an hour. But he only used a few breaths?"

"How exactly did this man pass the stage?"

Liujing Feng’s eyes flickered as he spoke coldly.

Pei Ji commented indifferently: "In just a few breaths, Lin Bai passed the stage. This simply means he is very familiar with his sword skills and clearly knows his weaknesses and flaws..."

"Lin Bai’s comprehension of the Sword Art must be incredibly high!"

"He’s definitely a rare talent in sword cultivation!"

Pei Ji’s eyes took on an eager look, the thought of taking a disciple forming in his mind.

But just as Pei Ji began to entertain the idea, something seemed to occur to him. Glancing at Liujing Feng, who was had an angry look on his face and gave a slight shake of his head, suppressing the thought.

Pei Ji had been recruiting disciples at the Ascension Tower on behalf of the Sword Art Academy for more than a decade.

Over these ten-plus years, Pei Ji had seen many extraordinary talents in sword cultivation. He knew very clearly that the third stage of the Miracle Ridge examination was meant to test a warrior’s cultivation in Divine Skills and self-awareness.

Undeniably, Lin Bai’s ability to pass the stage in just a few breaths demonstrated an extraordinary talent in Sword Art.

Under ordinary circumstances, Pei Ji would have already stepped forward to accept Lin Bai into the Sword Art Academy.

Unfortunately at this moment, before coming to the Ascension Tower, Liujing Feng had already warned all the high-ranking elders of the monasteries, anyone who accepted Lin Bai would be making an enemy of the Fist Daoist Courtyard!

Pei Ji was not willing to cause friction with the Fist Daoist Courtyard over Lin Bai.

"Ah!" Pei Ji shook his head helplessly, looking at the Projection Stone Stele.

"Lin Bai passed the third stage in just a few breaths."

"I wonder how long it will take for Lin Bai to pass the fourth stage!"

"The fourth stage is not easy to pass..."

"Yes, the fourth stage can mirror the shadow in the heart of a warrior, also known as the heart demon..."

Many warriors looked at Lin Bai on the first Projection Stone Stele.

In the fourth stage.

As Lin Bai stepped into the fourth stage, the surroundings were dark, void of any light.

Standing in the dark space, Lin Bai looked around curiously.

"The fourth stage is about fear..."

Lin Bai stood in the fourth stage, his expression dark.

As soon as Lin Bai stepped into the fourth stage, he felt an uncontrollable rage escalating in his heart.

A shadow weighed on Lin Bai.

Ding—

Suddenly at this moment.

Right before Lin Bai, a spot of light emerged from the darkness.

It seemed like a person had walked out from the glow.

Lin Bai fixed his gaze, the glow outlines the silhouette of the figure.

The instant he saw the silhouette, Lin Bai’s complexion instantly turned cold, and a surge of uncontrollable killing intent emerged from within him.

Lin Bai’s face was filled with fierce anger, he was restless!

"Playing ghost, die!"

Immediately, Lin Bai was filled with a burning rage in his heart, he knew who the figure in front of him was.

But Lin Bai didn’t want to see her again, he immediately attempted to attack and kill the figure!

But as Lin Bai moved, he discovered that there was an invisible force in this space that restricted his movement.

"Why can’t I move?"

Flying swords!"

"Even flying swords can’t leave my body!"

Lin Bai said incredulously.

The shadow of a person emerging from the glow in the distance was step by step walking towards Lin Bai!

"Get Out!"

Lin Bai stared at this shadow, a roar of anger came!

"Get away!"

"Don’t come over here!"

Lin Bai began to continuously roar at this approaching shadow.

Outside Ascension Tower.

All warriors who saw this scene became solemn, "The fear of mental demons, the shadows in the heart, are things that a warrior never wants to encounter."

"I wonder what Lin Bai’s fear will be?"

Many warriors curiously looked at the first stone stele.

Pei Ji said calmly: "This test is reflecting... reflecting the fears of the heart, I wonder what Lin Bai’s fear and shadow are?"

"Get Out!"

Lin Bai continuously roared at this shadow.

The sound was furious, Lin Bai’s face turned red, his veins bulged, he could not restrain his anger!

At this moment, an arrogant voice echoed in Lin Bai’s ears.

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Bai felt as though he were hearing the demonic sounds of hell.

"Me!"

"Lin Zi’er!"

"Heaven Level Fifth Grade Martial Soul, the top genius of the Lin Clan in Lingxi City, the Saintess of the Canghai Yuntai Palace, the number one genius of the Lingdong 700 States, unmatched in ancient and modern times, all the geniuses can only look on in awe."

"And you? Lin Bai, you are nothing more than a mere ant with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit!"

The shadow walked step by step to Lin Bai, her beautiful face was filled with endless contempt, mockery, and disdain...

"Lin Zi’er!" Lin Bai snarled at this woman, his eyes full of ferocity, like a wild beast, his face flushed, and veins bulged.

Lin Zi’er sneered: "Lin Bai, you are ultimately going to be defeated by me. You, with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Spirit, do you really think you can defy heaven?"

"Your destiny was already determined, that is to be stepped on by me and this world."

"Your destiny was determined the moment you awakened your martial spirit. Haven’t you noticed? Your parents, your relatives, your friends, are all getting further away from you."

"Where are your parents? Those who gave birth to you and raised you, did not want to see you after your martial spirit awakened, do you know why?"

"Because they simply do not want a failure of a son who only has a Yellow Level First Grade martial spirit!"

Buzz buzz—

Listening to Lin Zi’er’s words, Lin Bai’s face reddened with rage, and his fists clenched with a creaking sound, a violent killing intent rising from him.

In his right eye, a sprout emerged from the demonic seed.

This sprout was far longer than the ones that emerged before, a full seven inches...

On the sprout, a ready-to-bloom flower bud was clearly visible.

The demonic flower, was about to bloom...

"Shut up! Shut up!"

Lin Bai roared: "Lin Zi’er, I swear I will break your bones and scatter your ashes! Break your bones and scatter your ashes! Break your bones and scatter your ashes!"

Lin Zi’er slightly smiled: "And your friends? Qi Shaolong betrayed you, Zhao Tiedan left you, Tiehai Tang is missing, Ji Xiang is neither human nor ghost, Bai Xiaoxiao is hanging by a thread..."

"And Ye Suxin... harbors deep hatred for you!"

"Everyone abandons you. Lin Bai, your destiny is to be forever alone!"

Lin Zi’er said, "Lin Bai, your fate is destined. You’ll be stepped on by the strong, destined to be stepped on by me, Lin Zi’er, destined to be abandoned by everyone!"
