Lin Bai looked around at the hundreds of martial artists below, and not a single person dared to come up for a fight!
"If no one is coming, then I'll leave."
Lin Bai asked again, and many veteran martial artists lowered their heads in unison.
The strength Lin Bai displayed was truly beyond their imagination.
Even Zhang Hua, who could rank in the top ten among the True Martial realm disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, was defeated by Lin Bai.
As for the others, they were even less of a match.
"Lin Bai, don't get too cocky, the real experts of the outer sect haven't even shown up yet!"
A martial artist said to Lin Bai, "If you want to stand firm in the outer sect, just these two small victories won't be enough."
"If you really have the ability, dare you go to the Martial Combat Platform for a battle!"
"Only on the Martial Combat Platform will you see the true experts of the outer sect!"
Many disciples shouted at Lin Bai.
"Martial Combat Platform!"
Lin Bai muttered to himself.
Within the Spirit Sword Sect, there are two most famous combat platforms. One is the Life and Death Platform, which is specifically for disciples to resolve personal grudges.
The other is the Martial Combat Platform.
On the Martial Combat Platform, only sparring is allowed, and no one can take a life.
Each time someone steps up, they must place a bet.
If someone challenges, they must place the same bet, and the winner can take all the bets from both sides.
"I will go to the Martial Combat Platform, but not now."
Lin Bai jumped down from the combat platform, met with Qi Shaolong and Tiedan, and then headed straight for the Newcomers' Courtyard.
Having just obtained thirty thousand spirit stones, Lin Bai was eager to absorb spirit energy and break through to the True Martial realm.
"Big Brother Lin Bai, you're amazing! Do you know? Zhang Hua is a formidable existence among the first-level martial artists of the Spirit Sword Sect, and you defeated him with just one sword."
Tiedan looked at Lin Bai with admiration.
"I will work hard to cultivate, so that in the future, I can be like Big Brother Lin Bai and won't be bullied."
Tiedan smiled foolishly.
Lin Bai smiled and nodded.
Although Qi Shaolong was also smiling, his smile was not as cheerful.
Qi Shaolong looked at Lin Bai's back, and jealousy showed in his eyes.
Back at the residence.
"Let me try to see if I can break through to the first level of martial arts."
Lin Bai quickly took out thirty thousand spirit stones, placed them in front of him, and carefully examined them for a while before holding the spirit stones and activating the Divine Magic Prison Technique. The spirit energy inside the spirit stones was instantly absorbed by Lin Bai.
The spirit stones, as if they had withered, turned into sand and slipped through Lin Bai's fingers.
"The spirit energy is gone, and the spirit stones are destroyed."
"Is that all the spirit energy in one spirit stone?"
"Let's do it again!"
Absorbing one spirit stone was clearly not enough for Lin Bai. He fully activated the Divine Magic Prison Technique, and all the spirit energy from the thirty thousand spirit stones was instantly drawn out by Lin Bai.
The spirit energy infused into his body, making Lin Bai feel full of power.
"Break through!"
Lin Bai roared in his heart, his face flushed, and sweat appeared on his forehead.
Crack!
After a while, the realm within Lin Bai's body loosened, and after a bit more time, he finally entered the True Martial realm.
"True Martial first level!"
Lin Bai smiled joyfully.
Before he could fully rejoice, Lin Bai continued to cultivate for a while to consolidate his cultivation.
"Thirty thousand spirit stones only allowed me to break through one realm; the spirit energy in the spirit stones is too little!"
Lin Bai said with frustration.
"Still, the demon blood of beasts is faster!"
Lin Bai still wanted to continue hunting demons to gain a realm breakthrough.
In the Green Spirit Mountain Range, Lin Bai hunted a large number of demons that were one or two levels higher than himself, and within two months, he broke through from the first level of martial arts to the ninth level.
"I remember there is a large mountain range around the Spirit Sword Sect called the Falling Goose Mountain Range!"
"In the Falling Goose Mountain Range, there are martial arts realm demons, True Martial realm demons, and even Xuanwu and Earth Martial realm demons."
"With my current True Martial first level realm, as long as I don't provoke the Xuanwu and Earth Martial realm demons, I should be able to explore the outer areas."
Lin Bai smiled.
To defeat Xiang Tianyi and Xu Zailong, who are at the True Martial ninth level, in three months, Lin Bai must ensure that his martial arts realm is at least around the True Martial eighth level to win steadily.
To break through from True Martial first level to True Martial eighth level within three months, the Falling Goose Mountain Range is the best place for Lin Bai to cultivate.
After resting for a night, Lin Bai thoroughly stabilized his realm at the initial stage of True Martial first level.
"Yexuxin said this is sword intent!"
Lin Bai felt the faint will within his body.
"Martial arts will!"
Lin Bai borrowed books about sword intent from the Spirit Sword Sect's library.
"According to the book, my current sword intent should be at the initial stage of the first level... and the peak of sword intent is the ninth level. It seems the road is still long."
After familiarizing himself with the sword intent, Lin Bai was filled with determination.
After tidying up, Lin Bai walked out of the room.
Lin Bai did not rush to the Falling Goose Mountain Range but went to the Martial Skills Pavilion first.
Although Lin Bai still had the "Star-Cutting Sword Technique" and the "Dragon River Sword Technique," he lacked a body movement martial skill.
Without a body movement skill, whether it's for chasing or escaping, he would be at a disadvantage, which is not good.
"Lin Bai?"
As he arrived at the Martial Skills Pavilion, someone suddenly called out to Lin Bai from behind.
Lin Bai turned around and saw Ye Guxing and Nan Lida standing side by side not far behind.
"Are you also here to choose a martial skill?" Nan Lida smiled and walked over to ask.
Ye Guxing followed and nodded slightly at Lin Bai as a greeting.
Ye Guxing was not good with words and did not like to talk.
Lin Bai smiled and said, "Yes, I plan to go to the Falling Goose Mountain Range for training. Before I go, I want to learn a body movement martial skill, so I came to the Martial Skills Pavilion to take a look."
"You're also going to the Falling Goose Mountain Range. What a coincidence, Ye Guxing and I also plan to go there to hunt some demons and exchange for spirit stones."
"How about we team up?"
Nan Lida smiled and asked.
"Let's pass on that. I'm used to going alone."
Lin Bai smiled politely.
It wasn't that Lin Bai didn't want to team up with Nan Lida and Ye Guxing; it was mainly because Lin Bai had too many secrets. If the Divine Magic Prison Technique were revealed to the world, it would attract many powerful figures.
Moreover, teaming up with them, although they could hunt many demons, how to distribute the spoils would be a big issue.
Rather than being constrained, it would be more enjoyable to go alone.
"Alright." Nan Lida smiled awkwardly.
At this moment, Ye Guxing said, "Don't go to the Martial Combat Platform recently. That day, you bullied the veteran disciples too much on the combat platform. Many of the veteran disciples' experts have already said that if you dare to go to the Martial Combat Platform, they will make sure you come in standing and leave lying down."
Lin Bai frowned upon hearing this. These veteran disciples were targeting him.
"Thank you for the warning." Lin Bai smiled faintly.
"Let's go, we're entering the Martial Skills Pavilion."
Nan Lida smiled and said.
Immediately, Lin Bai stepped into the Martial Skills Pavilion.
