The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 890 - 888: Sword Skill Pavilion!

Chapter 890: Chapter 888: Sword Skill Pavilion!

The Sword Skill Pavilion of the Sword Art Academy was buzzing with disciples coming and going, numbering tens of thousands each day!

The pavilion itself took the shape of an enormous sword thrust into the ground, standing tall like a giant tower.

It was divided into nine floors in total!

The first floor displayed Earth-level Martial Arts Skills and Heaven Level First Grade skills.

On the second floor, all were Heaven level second grade martial arts skills!

And so on.

The ninth floor was where the Heaven Level Ninth Grade martial arts skills resided.

That day, when Lin Bai returned from the Dan Dao Courtyard to the Sword Art Academy, he ran into Yao Feng, who had said, "In the Sword Art Academy, a Heaven Level First Grade martial arts skill costs a hundred points!"

Moreover, Yao Feng was looking at the lowest level of the Heaven Level First Grade skills in the Sword Skill Pavilion.

The prices for the other Heaven Level First Grade skills were even higher.

As Tang Bufan and Lin Bai arrived in front of the Sword Skill Pavilion, they gazed up at the sword-shaped tower that pierced the skies and exclaimed, "Wow, so many people!"

Lin Bai replied with a faint smile, "The sword skills in the Sword Skill Pavilion should be within the range of what ordinary disciples of the Sword Art Academy can afford, so the number of warriors entering and exiting the pavilion daily is at least tens of times more than in the Divine Power Valley."

Tang Bufan said, "Yeah, let’s go, Lin Bai. Let’s go inside and see just how profound the Sword Art Academy’s resources are!"

Lin Bai nodded with a smile and entered the Sword Skill Pavilion with Tang Bufan.

Inside the pavilion’s first floor, Lin Bai and Tang Bufan walked past one rack after another.

"Flying Cloud Sword Skill, Heaven Level First Grade martial arts skill, priced at three hundred points!"

"Dragon Leopard Sword Skill, Heaven Level First Grade martial arts skill, priced at seven hundred points!"

"Gentle Breeze Sword Skill, Heaven Level First Grade martial arts skill, priced at one thousand points!"

"Withered Leaf Sword Skill, Earth Grade 9 martial arts skill, priced at one hundred points!"

Lin Bai examined each shelf in turn, occasionally picking up a martial arts skill to study closely, but then just as quickly losing interest and putting it down.

Tang Bufan remarked lightly, "Lin Bai, these sword skills are so expensive. I just saw an Earth Grade 9 Sword Skill, and it actually costs five hundred points!"

Lin Bai responded, "Isn’t that just the case? Even the cheapest Heaven Level First Grade sword skills cost three hundred points!"

Lin Bai and Tang Bufan shook their heads in silence.

Especially Lin Bai, who shook his head incessantly.

Even though these Heaven Level sword skills were powerful, many of them didn’t catch Lin Bai’s eye.

Some of the Heaven Level sword skills weren’t even as powerful as the Astonishing Wind Sword Skill that Lin Bai was currently practicing.

And they were so expensive too.

Even though Lin Bai had over ten thousand points at the moment, which was more than enough for these few hundred points, he couldn’t just waste his points on these unnecessary items.

"Let’s keep looking," he sighed.

With that, Lin Bai and Tang Bufan continued to wander around the first floor.

The two saw many sword skills, but very few were of any interest.

"Did you guys hear?"

"Today’s discounted sword technique is a Heaven Level Fifth Grade skill, and although it normally requires over twenty thousand points to exchange, today’s discount allows it for just three thousand points."

"Really? Is there such a good deal?"

"The discount is so significant today; it’s gotten this much cheaper!"

"Mad, who knows which bastard found that discounted sword technique today."

As Lin Bai and Tang Bufan strolled around the first floor,

warriors occasionally passed by them.

They were all discussing something about a "discounted sword technique."

Lin Bai and Tang Bufan were both taken aback by this.

Lin Bai curiously asked, "What’s a ’discounted sword technique’? There are discounts on sword skills?"

After thinking it over carefully, Tang Bufan excitedly exclaimed, "Lin Bai, we struck it lucky!"

Lin Bai curiously asked, "Bufan, do you know what’s going on?"

Tang Bufan replied, "I think I know a little, I’ve heard about it from other senior brothers before!"

"It is said that every month, the Sword Skill Pavilion takes out an extremely powerful sword skill as a discounted sword skill, and whoever can find this sword skill in the pavilion can buy it!"

"Could it be that today is the Sword Skill Pavilion’s discount day?"

"And the discount is for a Heaven Level Fifth Grade sword skill?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Bufan couldn’t help but get excited.

Lin Bai nodded his head in realization.

Tang Bufan said excitedly, "Lin Bai, let’s search thoroughly; this opportunity might just fall into our laps. I don’t have that many points, but you do!"

"You won first place in the monthly examination and were awarded five thousand points, which is enough to purchase this discounted sword skill."

"Let’s search together, and if I find it, I will come and call you!"

Tang Bufan said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "Since there’s such an interesting event, I naturally want to give it a try."

Tang Bufan smiled and said, "Great, Lin Bai, let’s split up and search. If I find it, I’ll come and call you!"

"Hmm."

Right away, Lin Bai and Tang Bufan separated, starting their search on the first floor.

Lin Bai carefully perused each bookshelf.

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, two hours had passed.

Lin Bai and Tang Bufan still hadn’t found anything.

At that moment, Lin Bai suddenly stamped his foot and let out a wry smile, "What a pig’s brain I have! Since this discounted sword skill has attracted so many people, these shelves must have been scoured more than once."

"If they haven’t found it, that means the discounted sword skill isn’t on these shelves."

"If it’s not on the shelves, then where could it be?"

Lin Bai slowly walked around the Sword Skill Pavilion, considering its layout.

Suddenly, Lin Bai’s gaze landed on a stone lion.

"How strange, why is this stone lion placed inside the Sword Skill Pavilion instead of outside?"

Curiosity piqued, Lin Bai walked over.

This stone lion was placed in the very center of the first floor of the Sword Skill Pavilion; all warriors who entered the pavilion would notice it at first glance.

Lin Bai had seen it before, but he thought if the Sword Skill Pavilion had arranged it this way, there must be a reason, so he didn’t interfere.

Now, while searching for the discounted sword skill, the more he looked at the stone lion, the more it bothered him.

Lin Bai approached a warrior in front of the stone lion and asked, "Brother, has this stone lion always been placed here?"

The warrior replied, "No, it seems to have suddenly appeared a few days ago. Some warriors asked the elders about it, and they said it could ward off evil spirits."

"Are you mad? Don’t pull at me; I’m off to find the discounted sword skill."

The warrior said impatiently.

"Thank you." Upon hearing this, Lin Bai immediately grinned with a strange smile.

Lin Bai was almost certain there was something odd about this stone lion.

Lin Bai carefully approached the stone lion, scrutinizing it closely.

The stone lion’s body was clean and well-carved, flawless, and showed no signs or clues.

But when Lin Bai stood directly in front of the stone lion and looked down into its gaping mouth—

Lin Bai saw it!

Looking down the throat of the stone lion, inside its belly, it seemed there was a black scroll...

"Invisible in plain sight..."

Lin Bai let out a peculiar laugh!
