Sword Emperor of the Astonishing Sky

On a winter day in the imperial capital, it snowed heavily late at night, and the sky and the earth were covered in silver.

But during the day, the sun shines brightly.

During these five days, Lin Bai accompanied the eldest princess to walk around the imperial capital. Although it could not be called a sightseeing tour, it still had a unique flavor.

As for the evening...

Night life.

Lin Bai has never been so happy since he started martial arts.

Sure enough, as the ancients said, men are steel and women are lubricants.

During these five days, Lin Bai completely let go of the dangers of martial arts and enjoyed the joy of life comfortably.

But the good times didn't last long.

Early that morning, Ji Bei arrived at the eldest princess's mansion.

"Lin Bai, I'm not disturbing you, are you?" Ji Bei said with a smile.

Lin Bai and the eldest princess came side by side and sat opposite Ji Bei.

Lin Bai smiled faintly and said: "It doesn't matter, the elder came suddenly, there must be something important."

Ji Bei smiled and said: "Lin Bai, have you forgotten that the core disciple examination is about to begin. We have stayed in the imperial capital for a long time, and it is time to return to Lingjian Sect."

Lin Bai was shocked and then thought about it carefully.

Lin Bai went to the East China Sea for almost thirteen days, and was delayed for ten days in the southern border. Now he was delayed for a few more days in the imperial capital, and one month was almost here.

The core warrior assessment of Lingjian Sect is about to begin.

Lin Bai sighed softly and said with a wry smile: "I have been a little too relaxed these days, and I almost forgot about the important things."

Ji Bei smiled and said: "The ancients said it well, Wenwen Township is the Tomb of Heroes."

Lin Bai smiled helplessly.

The eldest princess sat obediently next to Lin Bai and did not make any fuss.

Lin Bai said: "In that case, when will we return to Lingjian Sect?"

Ji Bei said: "Haha, I won't rush you. We will meet at the gate of the east city of the imperial capital tomorrow morning."

"Can."

Lin Bai nodded slightly.

Ji Bei stood up and said goodbye.

The eldest princess watched Ji Bei leave, then looked at Lin Bai and said, "Are you leaving?"

Lin Bai smiled and said: "My journey is not over yet."

The eldest princess said: "I have arranged for spies to go to Shenwu Kingdom to inquire about the whereabouts of your parents. If there is any news, I will inform you immediately."

Lin Bai said: "This is the best."

The eldest princess said: "Are you going back to Lingjian Sect to take the core disciple assessment?"

"Yes, this is a vital part of me."

Lin Bai said here that he remembered Ling Tianzi's true ability, which would only be taught to Lin Bai after Lin Bai became a core warrior.

Lin Bai was particularly curious, what was the true skill Ling Tianzi said?

Li Shanqing once said that Ling Tianzi possessed four arts in his life.

Dan sword formation.

The Tao of Alchemy was passed on to the senior brother.

The Dao of Swordsmanship was passed down to the second senior sister.

The formation path was passed to Li Shanqing.

And this last swordsmanship should belong to Lin Bai.

To be able to become Ling Tianzi's special skill, this swordsmanship must be extraordinary.

Ling Tianzi once said that if Lin Bai could learn his swordsmanship, it would be one of Lin Bai's important supports in martial arts in the future.

"Then you have to be more careful, I won't be able to accompany you to the Spirit Sword Sect."

"Just in time, now that you're gone, I'm going to start sorting out things in the Southern Territory. I've been a little too indulgent these days."

The eldest princess said with a delicate blush on her face.

"Ah That's good."

Lin Bai nodded lightly and said, "By the way, I've been in the imperial capital for so long, but why haven't I seen the Ninth Princess?"

The eldest princess smiled and said: "She went on a trip with the swordsman in the royal family a few days ago. It is said that she went to the Tianjian Dynasty to watch the martial arts competition between the seven hundred countries in Lingdong in a few months."

Having said this, the eldest princess felt a little ashamed of Bai Zhiyuan.

"Lin Bai, Jiu'er..."

Bai Zhiyuan said weakly.

Lin Bai smiled and said, "I know what you are going to say. I only have a brother-sister relationship with Zhiyuan."

The eldest princess said: "But Jiu'er doesn't have a brother-sister relationship with you."

Lin Bai smiled and said: "Don't worry, time will dilute everything."

"Maybe."

The eldest princess can't think of any good solution now, so she can only resign herself to fate.

The night passed very long.

Early the next morning.

The eldest princess sent Lin Bai to the imperial capital and found Ji Bei.

Other Lingjian Sect disciples, such as Li Jianxing, Ji Bai, Wang Hao, Sun Qian and others, had already gotten up and returned to Lingjian Sect three days ago to prepare for the core warrior examination.

Ji Bei delayed the meeting for two days in order to wait for Lin Bai.

Say goodbye to the eldest princess.

Lin Bai and Ji Bei mounted their fast horses and returned to Lingjian Sect.

Along the way, Lin Bai asked curiously: "Elder Ji Bei, I still don't know what the assessment standards for core warriors are?"

Ji Bei said calmly: "It's very simple. The core warrior assessment is divided into two stages, one is the preliminary examination and the other is the positioning."

"The preliminary test means that all disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect can go to the Martial God Tower to fight. The Martial God Tower has nine floors in total, and each floor will be guarded by warrior elders of the ninth level of the Tianwu Realm."

"As long as you can pass the Martial God Tower, you have passed the preliminary exam."

"If you pass the preliminary exam, you will get nine clearance tokens."

"Positioning, as we all know, the core warriors of Lingjian Sect are always nine."

"The warriors who hold the clearance token can challenge each other until the nine core warriors are finally determined."

"The loser should keep the token. Then the nine core warriors will be arranged in order according to the number of tokens they hold."

Ji Bei said lightly.

Lin Bai said: "What if at the end of the fight, all the clearance tokens are in the hands of a warrior?"

"Well--"

Ji Bei was stumped by Lin Bai's question, and smiled awkwardly and said: "Probably not. In the core warrior assessments over the years, almost no one can hold all the tokens in their hands."

"This situation will basically never happen. Even Jianxuan didn't do it back then."

"If this really happens, then there will only be one core warrior in the Lingjian Sect this year."

"Oh, that's it." Lin Bai nodded with sudden realization: "Elder Ji Bei, will Su Cang participate in the core warrior assessment?"

Ji Bei said: "Yes."

"Lin Bai, but I want to remind you that if nothing unexpected happens, Su Cang's cultivation level should be in the middle stage of the Half-step Divine Pill Realm when he participates in the core warrior assessment this time."

"You still have to endure the edge for the time being and don't confront him head-on."

Lin Bai smiled lightly and said, "Why not? I was just planning to have a good fight with him. Besides, elder, do you think Su Cang will let me go easily?"

"Even if I don't find him, he will find me."

"But this time, we still don't know who will win and who will lose."

Lin Bai said coldly.

Su Cang is the young master of Lingjian Sect.

The name Young Sect Master was given because Su Cang's father, Su Zhan, was the headmaster of the Lingjian Sect, so Su Cang was called the Young Sect Master.

In fact, Su Cang's status as a disciple in Lingjian Sect is still that of a core disciple.

Therefore, Su Cang will also participate in the assessment of core disciples.
