Today was the day for the new disciples to be reviewed.
Only those who passed today's assessment could be considered outer disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect.
Early in the morning, Qi Shaolong, Tiedan, and Lin Bai gathered at the square.
In the past month, the elders who had gone to various cities to recruit disciples had all returned.
They had added over seven hundred new outer disciples to the Spirit Sword Sect.
But this assessment would eliminate at least half of them.
"Today's assessment, you won't escape death!"
Lin Bai had just entered the square.
Xu Shangjie, accompanied by Xu Rui and several other young men with wild expressions, approached Lin Bai and said coldly.
Xu Shangjie had been keeping an eye on Lin Bai's movements and immediately came over when he saw him.
"Is this Lin Bai?"
"This is the waste who said he would defeat Senior Brother Xiang Tianyi in three months."
"You won't need Senior Brother Xiang Tianyi to act; you will die at our hands today, during the assessment."
"Who lives and who dies is yet to be seen." Lin Bai replied coldly to Xu Shangjie.
Xu Shangjie and Lin Bai's confrontation immediately drew the attention of many people.
"Look over there, the five New Disciple Kings have met."
"Yes, the five New Disciple Kings: Xu Shangjie, Mo Yi, Long Yao, Bai Huatian, and Lin Bai."
"Four of these five New Disciple Kings, except for Lin Bai, have joined the Divine Alliance!"
"From their looks, it seems they are going to kill Lin Bai. Lin Bai is in danger."
There were eleven New Disciple Kings selected by the new disciples.
Lin Bai was one of them.
Hearing the other disciples' words, Lin Bai realized that the four young men with Xu Shangjie were the other four New Disciple Kings.
After a few sarcastic remarks, Xu Shangjie and the other four walked away.
Qi Shaolong patted Lin Bai's shoulder and said, "Don't be afraid, we'll go together. If they come, we'll fight them."
Qi Shaolong glared fiercely at their backs.
"Heh, I don't even put those five in my eyes."
Lin Bai shook his head and said.
After waiting for a while, the new disciples gradually gathered in the square.
An elder ascended the platform.
Lin Bai recognized this elder; it was Ji Bei, who had saved him multiple times.
Lin Bai had a strong liking for Ji Bei.
If not for Ji Bei, Lin Bai would have died at the hands of Xiang Tianyi that day.
"Today is the review trial, which will take place in the Qingyou Mountain. The mountain is already filled with beast demons."
"All outer disciples must kill beast demons and obtain ten tokens to pass the trial. Upon returning, they will become outer disciples."
"Of course, to boost your morale, we have placed four True Martial Realm beast demons in the Qingyou Mountain."
"The True Martial Realm beast demons carry purple tokens, and one purple token is equivalent to ten ordinary tokens."
"Ultimately, the one who obtains the most tokens will be the first place winner."
"The first place winner will receive a Mystical Level martial technique as a reward from the sect."
"Disciples, work hard."
After Ji Bei introduced the rules, it immediately sparked a heated discussion in the square.
"Only the first place winner will receive a Mystical Level martial technique?" Lin Bai was somewhat surprised.
Usually, the top three in an assessment would receive rewards.
But this time, only the first place winner would receive a reward from the Spirit Sword Sect.
"I will definitely be the first place winner!"
A beautiful woman in the distance clenched her fists and smiled, saying after hearing Elder Ji Bei's rules.
This woman was also one of the New Disciple Kings, but her background was so significant that the other New Disciple Kings dared not provoke her.
Her name was Ye Suxin.
"Now, all disciples follow me to Qingyou Mountain."
Ji Bei called out, leading the disciples away from the square.
Qingyou Mountain was just three miles away from the New Disciple Academy.
Every year, new disciples would undergo their review in Qingyou Mountain.
"Lin Bai!"
As Lin Bai, Qi Shaolong, and Tiedan walked towards Qingyou Mountain.
A deep male voice called out.
"Li Jianxing." Lin Bai turned around and recognized him.
"Lin Bai, be careful. Xu Shangjie has incited many people to kill you during the assessment."
"Moreover, out of the ten New Disciple Kings, only you and Ye Guxing have not joined the Divine Alliance. They are very formidable, so it's best to avoid them for now."
Li Jianxing had come specifically to inform Lin Bai of this news.
"Hmph, Xu Shangjie actually incited people to kill me. If he wants to kill me, I also want to kill him!"
"Divine Alliance warriors, the Divine Alliance had better not provoke me, or I will make them pay with blood!"
Lin Bai said coldly, "Li Jianxing, thank you for telling me this."
Li Jianxing said apologetically, "Sorry, my cultivation is too low, and I'm not even a New Disciple King, so I can't help you."
"Just stay alive. This assessment will likely result in many deaths," Lin Bai said with a smile.
Li Jianxing and Lin Bai's group arrived at the entrance of Qingyou Valley.
"Wait to die."
Xu Shangjie looked at Lin Bai approaching and sneered with a mocking and smug expression.
"Qingyou Mountain is now open. Disciples, your fate is in your hands. I hope you all take good care of yourselves."
Ji Bei raised his arm, and all the disciples rushed into Qingyou Mountain.
Qingyou Mountain was ten times larger than Tianyou Valley.
The mountain was filled with rugged paths and overgrown weeds.
As Lin Bai, Qi Shaolong, and Tiedan just entered Qingyou Mountain,
a group of warriors emerged from the forest and surrounded them.
"What do you want to do!" Qi Shaolong roared.
"What do we want? Naturally, to send you to the underworld."
"Lin Bai, you dared to offend Young Master Xu Shangjie, so you deserve to die."
"Young Master Xu has already said that whoever can kill you and bring your head to him will receive ten thousand spirit stones."
"A bounty on my head?" Lin Bai looked at the man in surprise.
"Indeed, in this assessment, besides the beast demons, you are the biggest target for all the disciples."
The man smiled coldly.
"So you also want to kill me?" Lin Bai asked with a cold laugh.
"Ha ha ha, I, Fang Mo, also want those ten thousand spirit stones!"
"Lin Bai, prepare to die!"
"Brothers, don't hold back. In Qingyou Mountain, killing is free. Kill them!"
Fang Mo roared, and over twenty warriors behind him charged at Lin Bai.
"You are asking for death!"
Qi Shaolong roared first, "Tiedan, come behind me."
Qi Shaolong protected Tiedan, drew his sword, and began to counterattack.
"Qi Shaolong, do you have to get involved with Lin Bai?" Fang Mo asked angrily.
"Lin Bai is at least my roommate. If you kill him in front of me, how can I, Qi Shaolong, still have a place in this world?" Qi Shaolong snarled.
Hearing this, Lin Bai felt a warm feeling.
"Shaolong, take Tiedan and go first."
Lin Bai drew his sword and stood in front of Fang Mo, "This group of scum isn't enough for me to handle alone. You don't need to act."
"Arrogant!"
Fang Mo was furious. He was, after all, one of the top new disciples, second only to the New Disciple Kings.
Lin Bai had shown such contempt for him.
"Kill!"
Fang Mo roared, and over twenty warriors rushed at Lin Bai, their weapons flashing in a blur.
"Break!"
Lin Bai slashed his sword, shattering the attacks of the twenty-plus warriors.
