The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 811 - 809: Lin Bai’s Killing Intent!

Chapter 811: Chapter 809: Lin Bai’s Killing Intent!

Lin Bai thought to himself, "The Physical Spirit Arena should be the common area for the Nine Courtyards. Here, warriors from the Nine Courtyards of the Miracle Ridge can spar and compete, with points as their stakes."

"There is also Martial Intent Mountain, which should also be a public area."

"And the main cultivation resources within the Sword Art Academy are the Sword Skill Pavilion and Divine Power Valley."

"The Sword Skill Pavilion holds Heaven-level Martial Skills, while Divine Power Valley contains Sword Intent Divine Skills!"

"Since they are treasured by the Sword Art Academy, these sword skills and divine powers are certainly no ordinary things..."

Lin Bai’s eyes shimmered with a frenzied excitement.

After breaking through to the Divine Elixir Realm, Lin Bai increasingly felt that the Earth Grade 9 Sword Technique "Astonishing Wind Sword Skill," although impressive, was barely adequate for him, proving somewhat ineffective and of little help for his current needs.

If he had the opportunity, Lin Bai would still like to choose a brand new sword technique to cultivate.

As for divine powers, Lin Bai didn’t feel a pressing need for them at the moment.

"Right now, what I urgently need is to break through in Sword Intention and find a brand new sword technique..., the rest is not in short supply," he thought.

Lin Bai silently recited in his heart, forming a rudimentary plan for his future cultivation.

First and foremost, Lin Bai needed to address the pressing issue of repairing his Dantian!

If he didn’t restore his Dantian, Elder lectures, Martial Intent Mountain, Divine Power Valley... all of these would be useless to him!

"How can I repair the Dantian?"

"Elder Wenyue said before leaving that the Dan Dao Courtyard might have a method!"

With that thought, Lin Bai opened the map and located the position of the Dan Dao Courtyard!

After Yuan Qing briefly reminded them of some important matters, he said, "Of course, the cultivation places on the Miracle Ridge are not just these."

"The cultivation sites you can see now on the ’Guide of the Miracle Ridge’ are aimed at ordinary warriors; if you achieve success in your cultivation in the future and become masters on the Heroes List, there will be even better cultivation resources waiting for you."

"I won’t say much more, you’ll understand all this after staying in the Miracle Ridge for a year!"

"Now, I’ll take you to your quarters."

"Let’s go, to Shadow Mountain!"

Yuan Qing led a group of warriors toward Shadow Mountain.

Lin Bai took his token curiously and looked at it; it read "Residence No. 81 of Shadow Mountain."

As Yuan Qing moved, over a thousand new disciples of the Sword Art Academy followed.

Lin Bai, being injured, walked slowly at the back of the crowd.

"Lin Bai, let me help you," said a chubby, round-faced young boy with a benign smile, walking over.

Lin Bai looked at him, with his harmless and romantically naïve smile, and not seeming to be a bad person, gratefully responded with a smile, "Thank you, kind sir."

Lin Bai, with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul, had already been excluded by these people.

Now that Lin Bai had become disabled, his cultivation gone, becoming a cripple, these people had no interest in dealing with him at all.

But this kindly Fatty didn’t mind Lin Bai’s status or strength and came over to support Lin Bai proactively.

"Hehe, it’s nothing. My dad says that when we are out and about, everyone should support each other," the Fatty said while helping Lin Bai keep up with the group’s pace.

"By the way, my name is Tang Bufan," he said with a smile.

Lin Bai responded with a smile, "What a good name you have, Brother Tang."

Tang Bufan laughed, "Ah, the best thing about me is my name, ’Bufan’, ’not ordinary’. Haha, but I do seem to be quite an ordinary person."

"To be honest with you, my Martial Soul isn’t high either, barely a Mysterious Level One Martial Soul. Just being admitted to the Miracle Ridge is a tremendous stroke of luck for me," Tang Bufan said, smiling.

Lin Bai responded with an encouraging smile, "Brother Tang, there’s no need for dejection. Everything in this world depends on our own efforts. Look at me, even with a Yellow Level First Grade Martial Soul, I’m still working hard. Your starting point is already much higher than mine."

Laughing, Tang Bufan said, "Haha, thanks for the kind words, Brother Lin. But I really haven’t thought too much about it. After all, I’m just this way. How much worse can I get?"

"I have it all planned out; I’ll mix around on the Miracle Ridge for a few years, then return to Lingdong to be my own wealthy landowner, take a few young wives, father some chubby boys, and live a carefree life. That is my true pursuit in life. As for competing for supremacy in the Martial Arts, I have no interest in that at all."

Tang Bufan curled his lip and said, "If it weren’t for my old man insisting I come to the Miracle Ridge, I wouldn’t be here at all."

Lin Bai smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Along the way, Lin Bai chatted idly with Tang Bufan and soon they arrived at the foot of a huge mountain.

On this mountain peak, numerous quaint cottages had been densely constructed.

Yuan Qing said, "This place is Shadow Mountain, which will be where you reside while in the Sword Art Academy. Unless you enter the Five Peaks, you will have to live here!"

"Now, based on the tokens you’ve received for your rooms, go and find where you’ll be staying."

"If you can’t even find your own residences, then you’re too dim-witted to deserve a place in the Sword Art Academy."

Having said this, Yuan Qing prepared to leave.

And now all the new Warriors were heading towards Shadow Mountain to search for their living quarters.

Lin Bai did the same, especially since he was injured and eager to find a place to rest and recuperate for a while.

"Brother Lin, what’s your room number?" Tang Bufan asked with curiosity.

Lin Bai took out his token and said, "Number eighty-one."

Tang Bufan grinned with delight and said, "What a coincidence, I’m number eighty. It seems we are destined to be friends, with our rooms right next to each other. Let me help you up there, Brother Lin."

Lin Bai nodded and smiled, "Sure."

Lots of Warriors entered Shadow Mountain, searching for their designated accommodations.

And just like them, Lin Bai and Tang Bufan quickly merged into the crowd and disappeared among the densely packed cottages.

Each cottage was spaced a few hundred meters apart from the others, with trees and bushes providing cover, making them quite difficult to locate.

Tang Bufan, supporting Lin Bai at a slow pace, took about a couple of hours to find residence numbers eighty and eighty-one.

"Number eighty-one, here we are."

"Brother Lin, I’ll help you inside to rest, and then I’ll go find my own place," Tang Bufan offered warmly.

"Thank you, Brother Tang. But since you’re in number eighty, it shouldn’t be far from here, just a few steps away," Lin Bai responded with a smile.

Tang Bufan chuckled and said, "Yeah, you’re right, I’ll help Brother Lin in first."

As they spoke, Tang Bufan helped Lin Bai into Shadow Mountain Residence No. 81.

Once inside the room, Lin Bai cast a casual glance around. The room was cleaned quite well and was fully equipped with a reception area, main hall, kitchen, latrine, private room, secret chamber, and more.

"This can be considered a home for me on the Miracle Ridge, I suppose," Lin Bai said with a smile.

Suddenly, at that moment, a beautiful woman with a surprised and angry expression emerged from within Lin Bai’s residence.

"Who are you? Do you realize trespassing here is a capital offense?" she said, glaring at Lin Bai and Tang Bufan with hostility.

Tang Bufan blinked in surprise and turned to Lin Bai with a smile, "Brother Lin, is this your wife?"

Lin Bai shook his head and looked at the woman, "This is the residence I’ve just been assigned. And you, who might you be and why are you in my residence?"

"You have no residence here. If you know what’s good for you, get lost, or I’ll show you no mercy!" she barked in anger upon hearing this.

Enraged, a formidable power of the Human Elixir Realm Third Layer burst forth from the woman’s body.

The terrifying force, like the might of the heavens, made Lin Bai and Tang Bufan stagger back three or four steps, their faces turning pale.

Especially Lin Bai, already wounded, felt the woman’s oppressive aura intensify his injury, and he coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood onto the ground.

When Lin Bai raised his head to look at the woman again, his face was cold and filled with murderous intent!
