The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 881 - 879: Trash Team! Garbage Group!

Chapter 881: Chapter 879: Trash Team! Garbage Group!

When Lin Bai saw Yejian Qiu draw his sword, he immediately felt that Yejian Qiu had not fully exerted his strength.

"He’s still hiding his true capabilities!"

"If he went all out, I guess the Sword Marks would be even deeper!"

Lin Bai’s eyes narrowed as he deeply felt the terror of Yejian Qiu.

"Sword Marks, ten inches!"

"My God! This is undoubtedly today’s first place in the monthly exam."

"Five thousand points, into his Storage Bag they go."

Many Warriors, upon seeing the ten-inch Sword Marks left by Yejian Qiu, began to feel envious.

Undoubtedly, being the last of the Genius Group to be tested, Yejian Qiu’s ten-inch Sword Marks were the best result among the Genius Group. Today’s monthly exam first place, would inevitably go to Yejian Qiu.

Jian Ruohan chuckled lightly, "Impressive!"

Yejian Qiu smiled faintly, without responding.

Longqing Feng stood aside, his face filled with Evil Qi!

"I can’t believe I, Longqing Feng, have lost to a nobody from Lingdong again!"

"Just wait, I will take revenge on all of you one by one!"

Longqing Feng clenched his fist in secret, and said coldly.

The ten-inch Sword Marks left by Yejian Qiu caused a stir throughout the Daoist Arena.

Immediately after, Lin Baoyu said, "The Genius Group has finished their assessment; now it’s the Advanced Group’s turn to come forth!"

Wu Enli, with a smile, led all Warriors of the Advanced Group forward for the test.

The evaluation of the Advanced Group was much faster.

Before, Wu Enli told Lin Bai that about ninety percent of the Advanced Group would pass the Sword Testing Stone, but the actual scene was not as impressive as Wu Enli had described.

Within the Advanced Group, barely more than twenty Warriors were able to leave Sword Marks of three inches.

This wasn’t even twenty percent.

Lin Baoyu, upon seeing that not even twenty Warriors of the Advanced Group could leave three-inch Sword Marks, suddenly grew fierce, "Wu Enli, are these the Disciples you have trained?"

"I remember you assured me before that more than ninety percent of the Advanced Group would pass the monthly exam!"

"What’s going on here?"

Lin Baoyu was extremely dissatisfied with the Warriors cultivated by Wu Enli!

Wu Enli was stunned, then guiltily said, "This was all Wu’s miscalculation, please punish me, Elder Lin Baoyu."

Lin Baoyu snorted coldly, "Let it be for now. A minor monthly exam is just testing the waters. But, if the Advanced Group is still this underwhelming during the Newcomer’s Competition, beware that your position as Elder is at risk!"

Wu Enli said confidently, "Please rest assured, Elder Lin Baoyu. During the Newcomers Competition, seventy percent of my Advanced Group will surely make it into the final round!"

Lin Baoyu said, "I hope so."

Lin Bai, upon hearing this, curiously asked Nie Xiaoxian, "Mentor Nie, what is the Newcomers Competition?"

Nie Xiaoxian said, "You can regard the Newcomers Competition as a graduation exam. After passing it, one can officially leave the Newcomers Group and become a formal disciple of the Sword Art Academy!"

"After passing the Newcomers Competition, the Warriors essentially have the ability to survive on the Miracle Ridge!"

"The Newcomers Competition is set for two months from now!"

Nie Xiaoxian stated indifferently.

Lin Bai suddenly understood and nodded, "So that’s what it is."

At that moment, Lin Baoyu said, "Now, let’s have the Low-Level Group come forward."

All eyes turned towards the Warriors of the Low-Level Group.

Nie Xiaoxian immediately led the Warriors of the Low-Level Group towards the Sword Testing Stone!

"Pfft! The losers’ group!"

"Heh, do these losers even need to be tested?"

"With today’s monthly exam being so difficult, it would be impressive if three people from the Low-Level Group managed to pass."

As Nie Xiaoxian led a group of Low-Level Group Warriors towards the Sword Testing Stone, the Warriors of the Advanced and Genius Groups displayed disdainful and mocking smiles.

And all the Low-Level Group Warriors were basically walking up to the Sword Testing Stone with their heads hung low in defeat.

Lin Bai and Tang Bufan were among them.

Nie Xiaoxian stepped forward and gave a respectful salute with cupped hands to Lin Baoyu and Minghong: "Elders Lin Baoyu and Minghong, greetings."

Lin Baoyu smiled lightly and said, "Xiaoxian, it was beneath you to lead the Low-Level Group this year."

Nie Xiaoxian smiled faintly and said, "Where is the cause for grievance? These are all things a disciple should do."

Nie Xiaoxian himself was a disciple of the Sword Art Academy, not an Elder. However, Nie Xiaoxian was only second to the Chief Disciple of Sword Art Academy because no Elder was willing to take charge of the Low-Level Group this year.

Therefore, Nie Xiaoxian volunteered, and that’s how he came to the Low-Level Group.

Why did no one want to take charge of the Low-Level Group?

The reason is simple.

Basically, every year, the Low-Level Group ranks last in various assessments.

Elders who had taken charge of the Low-Level Group were constantly mocked by other Elders. Over time, no Elder wanted to take charge of the Low-Level Group anymore.

Lin Baoyu said with a smile, "All right, let’s begin the assessment."

"Let the warriors from the Low-Level Group test their skills on the Sword Testing Stone."

Hearing Lin Baoyu’s words, Nie Xiaoxian nodded slightly and looked at the warriors of the Low-Level Group.

Nie Xiaoxian gave an instruction.

Right away, a warrior from the Low-Level Group stepped forward, channeling the power of heaven and earth as he struck the Sword Testing Stone!

Crack!

One sword fell, and a white streak was left on the Sword Testing Stone, yet there were no Sword Marks!

Lin Baoyu said with a faint smile, "The second sword!"

The disciple gathered his courage and delivered another fierce blow, but just like before, only a white mark was left on the Sword Testing Stone without leaving any Sword Marks.

Lin Baoyu shook his head faintly and said, "No Sword Marks!"

"Next!"

Upon hearing this, the disciple walked away from the Sword Testing Stone, dejected.

"What? Hahaha, no Sword Marks!"

"Are the warriors from the Low-Level Group so awful?"

"Exactly. Even the warriors from the Advanced Group, however weak, would leave a Sword Mark of at least an inch on the Sword Testing Stone! The Low-Level Group can’t even leave an inch?"

"Elder, does this assessment even make sense? It’s a waste of time; I think the Low-Level Group doesn’t need to compete anymore."

Many from the Advanced Group and Genius Group started to ridicule openly.

Lin Baoyu said in a cold voice, "Silence!"

"The assessment continues!"

Lin Baoyu continued to call out.

The second warrior from the Low-Level Group stepped forward, and after two sword strikes, there were still no Sword Marks.

The third, no Sword Marks.

The fourth, no Sword Marks!

The fifth, no Sword Marks!

...

The one-hundredth, no Sword Marks!

The two-hundredth, no Sword Marks!

...

The one-thousandth, no Sword Marks!

The two-thousandth, no Sword Marks!

The three-thousandth, no Sword Marks!

...

"Hahahaha, the warriors from the Low-Level Group are really hilarious!"

"May I ask if you are here to make us laugh?"

"Over three thousand people have gone up already, and not a single one could leave a Sword Mark?"

"Trash group, waste group, just roll down and eat shit."

A group of warriors from the Advanced Group and Genius Group started to mock without restraint.

Wu Enli watched this scene unfold and also sneered disdainfully, his gaze filled with contempt.

Nie Xiaoxian’s face was also very unsightly, dark as still water.

Even Lin Bai, standing at the very back, felt a pang of unwillingness in his heart.
