Chapter 772: Chapter 770: A Bunch of Little Cl-Jesters!

After the stir caused by the first place Lin Bai, Bai Xiaoxiao, Ji Xiang, Qin Beiao, Longqing Feng, and others came forward one by one to test their Martial Souls!

"Wow, not only does Bai Xiaoxiao have such beauty, but she also has such a high-grade Martial Soul, Earth Grade 3!"

"Ji Xiang is even more terrifying, he is actually Heaven Level First Grade!"

"Both Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng are Heaven Level First Grade!"

"My goodness, since when did a Heavenly Level First Grade Martial Soul become so common? This year’s Miracle Ridge exam has seen three of them already!"

All the warriors at the venue exclaimed in surprise.

The Martial Soul test measures one’s natural aptitude. First place, Lin Bai, Yellow Level First Grade.

Second place, Bai Xiaoxiao, Earth Grade 3.

Third place, Ji Xiang, Heaven Level First Grade.

Fourth place, Qin Beiao, Heaven Level First Grade.

Fifth place, Longqing Feng, Heaven Level First Grade.

Sixth place, Fang Ji, Earth Grade 1.

Seventh place, He Qian, Earth Grade 1.

Eighth place, Yao Feng, Mysterious Level Nine.

Ninth place, Hua Yuxian, Earth Grade 9.

Tenth place, Qi Yao, Mysterious Level Nine.

Pei Ji, upon seeing these results, had a look of surprise on his face: "I can hardly believe it. This year’s Miracle Ridge exam has attracted three warriors with Heavenly grade Martial Souls."

"But something’s not right. Every time a genius from Lingdong has a Heavenly grade Martial Soul or above, they should be invited early on. For example, Feng Yunxiu and Yejian Qiu were invited to the Sword Art Academy long ago."

"How is it possible that these three, each with a Heaven Level First Grade Martial Soul, have not received an invitation? Are they even trying to participate in the exam relying entirely on their own strength?"

Pei Ji was somewhat baffled as to what these geniuses were thinking.

Ji Xiang was the first sword cultivator in Lingdong a hundred years ago. Indeed, he had received an invitation from Miracle Ridge a century ago and had even entered the Ridge before.

Unfortunately, a hundred years had passed and Ji Xiang’s identity as a disciple of Miracle Ridge had long been erased.

So, Ji Xiang had to participate in the exam.

As for Qin Beiao and Longqing Feng, these two geniuses from Lingnan, it was not surprising at all that they possessed Heaven Level First Grade Martial Souls.

However, Lin Bai was surprised to find that Hua Yuxian’s Martial Soul was Earth Grade 9.

Bai Xiaoxiao walked up to Lin Bai and asked, "Lin Bai, are you okay?"

Lin Bai replied with a smile, "I’m already used to this kind of situation. I’m numb to it. Don’t worry about me."

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded.

Lin Bai’s Martial Soul was only Yellow Level First Grade, and Bai Xiaoxiao could do nothing to help.

All Bai Xiaoxiao could do now was to hold Lin Bai’s hand tightly.

When Bai Xiaoxiao touched Lin Bai’s hand, she distinctly felt a force gathering in it, and his body was ice cold.

This coldness was not the icy chill of winter snow.

This coldness originated from his killing intent, a chilling kind that came from the soul.

Bai Xiaoxiao held Lin Bai’s hand, casting a worried glance at the composed Lin Bai. She thought to herself: You say you don’t care, but your heart must be in pain.

Lin Bai stood there nonchalantly, listening to the warriors whispering behind his back, the humiliating laughter, mockery, and scolding.

Although he appeared indifferent, a hint of killing intent started to surge within Lin Bai’s heart.

No one wants to hear others talking behind their back, cursing and scolding them.

Ji Xiang came up to Lin Bai, patted his shoulder, and said, "Don’t worry, Yellow Level First Grade is just a test from heaven."

"Actually, I feel that Heaven was wary of you; that’s why it gave you a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul."

Lin Bai chuckled, "What do you mean, Senior Brother Ji Xiang?"

Ji Xiang chuckled in return, "You, with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul, are so extraordinary, that if your Martial Soul’s level was even a little higher, wouldn’t you be stepping on the very crown of the heavens?"

"So, I think the heavens, in giving you a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul, were wary of you, even fearful."

"Afraid that if they gave you a higher level Martial Soul, you would become uncontrollable."

Ji Xiang said, chuckling lightly.

Upon hearing Ji Xiang, Lin Bai paused for a moment, then chuckled, "Maybe."

Later, Qin Beiao approached, casting a glance at Lin Bai, his eyes brimming with an undisguised contempt, "Incredible, a trash with Yellow Level Martial Soul, actually made it through the six stages of assessment in the Ascension Tower as number one."

Longqing Feng also chuckled, "You indeed have extraordinary abilities, but in the end, you can only stop at the Half-step Divine Pill Realm. You can’t stand at the same level as us."

With a cold voice, Qin Beiao stated, "Inside Lingfan Mountain Range, I will kill you!"

Longqing Feng laughed, "Same as me."

Lin Bai answered with a faint smile, "I don’t think we know each other. Why are you talking about killing me as soon as you open your mouth?"

Qin Beiao sneered, "From the moment you stepped out of Ascension Tower as the first ranker, you and I became mortal enemies."

"The honor and status I carry does not allow me to stay in the second place for long!"

"Not just you, all the warriors who ranked before me today will have to die!"

Bai Xiaoxiao, Ji Xiang, Lin Bai, in Lingfan Mountain, I, Qin Beiao will personally send you to hell."

After saying this, Qin Beiao left with a cold voice.

Longqing Feng chuckled lightly, "I can lose to Qin Beiao, but I cannot lose to you. Lin Bai, Bai Xiaoxiao, Ji Xiang, in Lingfan Mountain, we must face off against each other. I hope you’re ready."

After finishing his sentence, Longqing Feng and Qin Beiao left.

Heatedly, Bai Xiaoxiao stated, "Are these two guys insane? We don’t even know them."

Lin Bai chuckled, "Maybe they are insane. Xiaoxiao, Senior Brother Ji Xiang, since those two have their eyes on us, you’d better be careful. I feel that these two are tough to deal with."

Ji Xiang nodded deeply, "Indeed, I feel a terrifying aura of power from both of them."

Bai Xiaoxiao added, "I’ll take care of myself, and you should be well prepared...to face...him..."

Upon hearing Bai Xiaoxiao’s words, Lin Bai naturally knew exactly who the ’him’ she was referring to.

"I’m ready."

"And I’m waiting for him."

Lin Bai took a deep breath, facing the Giant God Clan aroused no fear in him at all. Instead, he felt a sliver of excitement and anticipation.

Lin Bai was fervent, curious about whether he could subjugate the Giant God Clan with his sword.

Fang Ji approached, sneered, "Lin Bai, I said I’d fight you in Lingfan Mountain. Looking at it now, that battle is imminent. Otherwise, once I enter the Miracle Ridge and breakthrough the Human Elixir Realm, you, with your Yellow Level Martial Soul’s potential, won’t be able to catch up with me in this lifetime."

Lin Bai shook his head, "I’m not going to fight with you."

Fang Ji sneered, "Hehe, Lin Bai, it’s not up to you. I told you, I’ll force you to act. Just wait and see!"

Lin Bai shook his head nonchalantly.

Although unsure what Fang Ji would do, Lin Bai didn’t care in the slightest.

Right now, all Lin Bai wanted to do was prepare for the confrontation with the Giant God Clan.

He Qian approached, solemnly stating, "Lin Bai, inside Lingfan Mountain Range, I will personally reclaim everything I’ve lost!"

"If you have the ability, go ahead." Lin Bai replied with a faint smile.

"Hah! Wait for your death."

He Qian snorted contemptuously before turning and walking away.

Ji Xiang laughed, "Looks like you’ve made quite a few enemies."

Lin Bai chuckled, "Haha, a bunch of clowns. What’s there to fear? In Lingfan Mountain Range, if they dare to disturb me, I’ll personally open the gates of hell for them, let them see the scenery in hell!"
