Soul Devouring Sword Master

Chapter 12: Life and Death Together

"No." Mo Qingfeng, who was behind Xue Yang, said lightly. He never glanced at Lin Yi from beginning to end. In his opinion, Lin Xi'er was the only one who had some ability.

For Mo Qingfeng, a person's strength is the second most important thing. What he values ​​​​more is a person's potential. Lin Yi is only a first-grade earth-level spiritual vein, and he is only at the bottom of the Wenjian Academy. What's more, the foundation of cultivation is not solid. Whether you can enter the academy or not is a question.

As for Lin Xi'er, her earth-level third-grade spiritual veins were indeed pretty good, but her cultivation was not solid either. Moreover, Mo Qingfeng always felt that Lin Xi'er's aura was unstable, seemingly because the pulse energy in her spiritual veins was impure.

In contrast, he was more optimistic about the young swordsman. He had a strong body and a very solid foundation. Coupled with his talent in swordsmanship, he definitely had the potential to become a top master in the empire in the future.

"Isn't it?" the second elder said disappointedly, while Lin Yi on the other side looked confused, not knowing where they were.

Sensing the indifference in Mo Qingfeng's eyes, Lin Xi'er frowned. As the proud daughter of Dark Star City, she had always been treated like a star, but no one had ever looked down upon her so much.

You are just a disciple of Wenjian Academy. What's so great about it? Give me some time and I will definitely surpass you in the future, Lin Xi'er thought to herself.

At this moment, Lin Feng, the head of the Lin family, who was sitting in the front seat, had mixed feelings in his heart.

Hearing that several instructors were discussing Lin Xi'er and Lin Yi, he felt very uncomfortable. If Lin Xiao had not had an accident three years ago, what kind of glory would he be now? Lin Xi'er and Lin Yi would probably have no choice but to It's a pity that it's his fate to be his foil.

Lin Feng sighed in his heart, as if he had become much older in an instant.

However, his current situation is very dangerous, and his status may be overthrown by the Great Elder at any time. Lin Feng thinks that letting Xiaoer leave the family is the most correct choice, and he has no regrets.

I wonder where Xiaoer is now. Is she well fed and clothed warmly? Lin Feng thought to himself that as long as Xiaoer is safe, he will feel at ease.

At this moment, suddenly, a sonorous and powerful voice came from outside the hall.

"Father, I'm back!"

Hearing the sound, everyone in the hall looked outside.

A handsome-looking young man in black walked in calmly, naturally it was Lin Dan

The moment he saw Lin Xiao, Lin Feng's expression suddenly changed. How could this happen? Didn't Xiao'er leave Dark Star City? Why did he come back? Doesn't he know the danger...

Many thoughts came to my mind, and finally turned into a helpless sigh.

"Oh, this fool." Lin Feng sighed in a low voice and murmured. He knew the reason why Lin Xiao came back.

"Father!" Lin Xiao walked up to Lin Feng, knelt down on his knees, and kowtowed heavily.

There was silence in the entire hall.

Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at Lin Feng, "Forgive me, adoptive father, I can't ignore you and don't want to escape like a coward. You have raised me for many years and have borne too many burdens for me. From now on, I will take care of everything." Help you carry it!”

Lin Xiao's face was full of determination, and with unshakable determination, he had decided to stay and accompany Lin Feng through the difficulties, and if they wanted to die, they would die together! I would rather die together than live alone!

"Xiao'er." Lin Feng quickly helped Lin Xiao up and couldn't help but wipe the corners of his eyes. At this moment, in his eyes, Lin Xiao was no longer the child who needed his care and concern. He had grown into a truly capable person. A man standing tall.

Lin Feng was very happy, but more complicated. He glanced at Lin Xiao and asked, "Xiao'er, are you really determined to stay?"

"Father, I want to live and die with you!" Lin Xiao's eyes were filled with determination, as if nothing in the world could shake his determination.

"Okay, then my foster father will live and die with you!" Lin Feng said with tears in his smile, and then he sighed in his heart, Brother Chu, I'm sorry, I may have failed your trust, forgive me for my incompetence, I'm sorry for you, under the torment, brother I apologize to you again.

Seeing this tear-jerking scene, Xue Yang and Mo Qingfeng looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces.

Mo Qingfeng was about to say something when suddenly, a cold shout broke the atmosphere.

"Lin Xiao, who asked you to come in? Didn't you know that the family was entertaining guests? Is this how Lin Feng taught you etiquette?" the elder said coldly.

The great elder's scolding immediately stunned Mo Qingfeng, and Xue Yang behind him also frowned. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was something wrong with the relationship between Lin Xiao, the great elder, and others.

"Old man, my adoptive father is still the head of the family, but now you call him by his first name. It seems that you have long wanted to rebel!" Lin Xiao turned around and glanced at the great elder coldly.

"You're so outrageous. You're talking to me like that. It's okay. Come on, drag me down..."

"Presumptuous!" Lin Feng stood up and shouted, "Lin Shi, Xiao'er is my adopted son. If you dare to touch a hair of his, I will expel you from the family!"

The elder's face changed slightly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he clenched his fists, but still said nothing. After all, Lin Feng was still the head of the family, and he was just an elder, and the real power of the family was still in Lin Feng's hands.

He said nothing, but the elder snorted coldly in his heart, "Lin Feng, you old guy, you can't be proud for long. After tomorrow, I will be the head of the Lin family. I guarantee that both you, father and son, will die miserably by then." !

"Great Elder, who is this young man? Why haven't you mentioned it before?" Zhang Han, the instructor of He Academy, asked.

"Mr. Zhang, this person's name is Lin Xiao. He is the adopted son of the family leader. He has detected super spiritual pulse before..."

"Super Spiritual Veins!" Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but take a breath. Super Spiritual Veins are very rare in the entire Star Empire. Those who possess Super Spiritual Veins have all become the best in the Lin Kingdom. big shot.

Seeing everyone's shocked reactions, the Great Elder grinned, "It's just that three years ago, his spiritual veins began to weaken, and his cultivation level declined. As of now, his cultivation level is at the second level of the Spiritual Gathering Realm at best. "

"Hmph, he turns out to be a fallen loser. No wonder he is so disrespectful." Nangong Jie snorted coldly, obviously not having a good impression of Lin Xiao.

Hearing this, the shock in the eyes of the other instructors gradually disappeared, and a touch of disdain appeared on their faces. At this age, those who are only at the second level of the Spiritual Gathering Realm are indeed useless.

But at this time, Xue Yang's eyes flashed with a strange light, thinking of Lin Xiao's powerful body, and felt that this was not the case.

The second elder added more jealously, "This Lin Xiao seriously injured a member of the family not long ago. He is extremely arrogant and his character is indeed not very good. Fortunately, Sister Xi'er has seen through all this and left him."

"It turns out that he was the one who used to be with Xi'er," Nangong Jie said slightly, then smiled disdainfully, "How can such a waste be worthy of Xi'er? Even a toad wants to eat goose meat."

"What are you!" Suddenly, Lin Feng stood up and slapped the table, angrily pointing to Gong Jie, his face turned red.

There was dead silence in the hall.

No one thought that Lin Feng would dare to get angry at the mentors of the four major colleges. You know, although the Lin family is the first family in Dark Star City, it is just a drop in the ocean in the entire empire. In front of behemoths like the four major colleges, they are like ants.

Yes, any tutor from the four major colleges can make a family like the Lin family disappear with just one word.

Lin Feng's move was reckless and stupid, and this was what many people thought.

However, they did not know that the current situation was already tense.

Lin Feng had known for a long time that as soon as the admission meeting was over, Nangong Jie would take action to help the elder take away his position as the head of the family. The situation between the two parties was already a deadlock, so naturally he didn't need to worry about anything.

Being scolded by Lin Feng in public, Nangong Jie was immediately very angry, "Lin Feng, you dare to be rude to me, no wonder you taught such a waste!"

"You do it again!" Lin Feng shouted angrily, and was about to rush forward to take action, but was stopped by Lin Xiao in time.

"Father, don't be impulsive," Lin Xiao whispered in Lin Feng's ear, "You must not take action, otherwise you will fall into the trap of the Great Elder. He is eager for you to take action in advance. This will give him a reason to rebel. You must Tolerate."

Hearing this, Lin Feng frowned, knowing that Lin Xiao was right, and he would have no room for action.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng clenched his fists, had no choice but to suppress the anger in his heart, and sat back.

Nangong Jie didn't intend to just let it go. He snorted coldly, "Lin Feng, weren't you very cool just now? If you have the ability to fight me, come on."

Being provoked by Nangong Jie, Lin Feng suddenly became furious and was about to get up when a voice came.

It was Xue Yang who had never spoken to him much.

"Nangong Jie, as a tutor of the Royal Academy, why should you have trouble with a city family head? If this spreads out, it will damage the reputation of your Royal Academy." Xue Yang said lightly.

Nangong Jie narrowed his eyes, "Xue Yang, you don't seem to know them, why do you want to help them?"

"I just don't want you to get into trouble. After all, it's the admissions meeting. If you don't want to listen, do whatever you want, but your Royal Academy is on the cusp of a storm now. The academy should have told you not to cause trouble outside. If you want to be willful That's okay, but you should know the consequences," Xue Yang said calmly.

Hearing this, Nangong Jie hesitated for a moment, knowing that what Xue Yang said was true.

The Royal Academy is affiliated with the royal family. Over the years, the empire's royal family has been corrupted, taxed aggressively, the people are in dire straits, and there have been complaints, which has made the public's reputation for the royal family and even the Royal Academy worse and worse.

For this reason, the Royal Academy specifically warned its staff not to cause trouble outside and to keep a low profile, so as not to deepen the people's bad impression of the Royal Academy. If anyone dares to violate the rules, he will be severely punished.

Although Nangong Jie is a tutor at the Royal Academy, he does not dare to violate the academy's rules. The academy's punishment is no joke.

Thinking of this, Nangong Jie frowned and glanced at Lin Feng coldly, humph, I'll let you live just a little longer!

The atmosphere was no longer suitable for further discussion, and everyone left the hall one after another.

Lin Xiao left the hall and passed by Lin Xi'er without even looking at her.

In Lin Xiao's heart, from the moment Lin Xi'er betrayed him, the relationship between them had been severed. Now Lin Xiao had no feelings for her, only hatred.

Feeling ignored, and ignored by a "waste", Lin Xi'er couldn't help but frown and smiled coldly, "Lin Xiao, it seems that you are going to attend the admissions fair tomorrow, but it's a pity that you can only take it upon yourself." Humiliation, I advise you to accept your fate, you will only be trampled under my feet in this life. "

Lin Xiao kept walking forward, as if he didn't hear anything, and just left the hall.

"You bastard, you dare to ignore me!" Lin Xi'er bit her silver teeth and said. Originally, she wanted to hit Lin Xiao, but she didn't expect that he ignored her at all. This made her feel like a heavy punch had hit the cotton, and she was very annoyed.

"Xi'er, don't pay attention to this kind of trash. Ming you are destined to be the most dazzling star in the admissions meeting. This kind of trash is not on the same level as us. Ming will know the gap between him and us." Lin Yi sneered.

"We? Humph, do you think you and I are on the same level?" Lin Xier sneered and walked away, leaving Lin Yi with a grim expression.

----

In the courtyard, Master Xue Yang and his apprentice sat opposite each other.

"Master, how could they think Lin Xiao is a loser? In my opinion, the Lin Xier who was praised by them is just so-so, and her talent is far inferior to Lin Xiao."

Xue Yang smiled faintly, "Didn't you see that Lin Xiao has been hiding his strength, probably to make a splash at the enrollment meeting tomorrow. As for why he did this, it should be related to the internal conflicts of the Lin family. I don't know the details."

"That old guy Nangong Yan probably didn't expect that the young man he offended had such terrifying potential. A level-one spiritual vein was enough to shock the entire Star Empire, not to mention his extraordinary sword talent."

"With such a stupid mentor, it's no wonder that the Royal Academy is declining."

Thinking of this, Xue Yang grinned, "I wonder what Nangong Yan's expression will be when Lin Xiao shows his true strength at the enrollment meeting tomorrow."

"It's really exciting to think about it." Mo Qingfeng smiled slightly.

After leaving the hall, Lin Xiao locked himself in the room directly for the final sprint.

Tomorrow is the enrollment meeting, and Lin Xiao must seize every minute and every second to improve his strength as much as possible.

Lin Xiao took out the remaining twenty spiritual cultivation pills and began to refine and absorb them.

Lin Shi, Lin Xier, and Nangong Jie, all the guys who look down on me! Tomorrow, I will bring you a big surprise. Don't be scared when the time comes!

Time is like flowing water. Before I know it, it is already the second morning.

The red sun gradually rises from the horizon, and the morning light covers the entire Dark Star City. As soon as it gets light, the entire Dark Star City is already restless.

Because today is the day for the four major colleges to enroll students.

The four major colleges, the Sword Questioning College, the Royal College, the River College, and the Blue Wind College, these four giants of the Star Empire are the holy places for cultivation that countless practitioners dream of.

As long as you can enter the four major colleges, it is equivalent to a carp leaping over the dragon gate. Not only will your status and position be elevated, but you will also get sufficient cultivation resources and a bright future.

This is why many practitioners come to the enrollment meeting. For most practitioners who have no background, this is a very important opportunity and a turning point that can determine their lives.

Early in the morning, the Lin family martial arts training ground was already crowded. Some people were candidates who came to attend the recruitment meeting, some came to cheer for them, and some came to watch the excitement.

Today, the entire Lin family, or the entire Dark Star City, was unprecedentedly lively, and all the important people gathered here.

A grandstand was built behind the martial arts training ground. The instructors of the four major colleges had already taken their seats, and beside them were many senior members of the Lin family. There was another grandstand on the side, where some family forces in Dark Star City were located.

There was still one stick of incense before the start of enrollment.

Below the stage, thousands of candidates were eager to try, rubbing their hands, their blood was boiling, nervous and excited.

After all, this was an opportunity that could change their fate.

Lin Feng on the grandstand scanned the crowd below, but he could not see Lin Xiao's figure. He couldn't help but feel a little worried. The time was almost up, Xiao'er, why haven't you come yet?

On the side, the third elder frowned and said unhappily, "Why hasn't Lin Peng come yet? Did he drink too much last night?"

At this moment, Lin Xiao in the room suddenly opened his eyes.

He exhaled a breath of turbid air, a gleam of light flashed through Lin Xiao's eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Xiao's mouth.

Sixth level of the Juling Realm!

"Today is the day for me, Lin Xiao, to avenge my shame!"

Lin Xiao clenched his fists, rushed out of the room, and went straight to the martial arts training ground.
