The Sole Sword Emperor

Chapter 2011: 2008: You... I Can't Teach You!


Chapter 2011: Chapter 2008: You… I Can’t Teach You!


“You… I cannot teach you!” Fang Yiyun glanced at Lin Bai and said, shaking his head slightly.


Changsun Yun was surprised and asked, “Cannot teach? Master Fang, why?”


Lin Bai also looked at Fang Yiyun in silence.


Fang Yiyun said calmly, “Lin Bai, whether in terms of sword skill proficiency, intellect, the thickness of spiritual power, or the strength of the physical body, you have already exceeded my expectations.”


“Your sword art is extremely powerful and deeply profound; you no longer need me to teach you anything.”


“Your spiritual power is incredibly profound, almost comparable to a warrior of the Life-and-Death Realm, astonishingly beyond mortal comprehension.”


“Your physical body, with the Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, transforms into a hundred feet tall; you even pulled a Giant Demon out of the seabed!”


“From every aspect, you are undoubtedly an unparalleled Tianjiao within this East Continent Academy.”


“Though I bear the title of the First Sword Cultivator of the Life-and-Death Realm, I feel unqualified to mentor you in cultivation!”


Fang Yiyun said earnestly.


His words contained no exaggeration; he simply expressed his inner thoughts truthfully.


He neither lied to Lin Bai nor looked down on him, nor did he mean he was unwilling to teach Lin Bai to cultivate.


In fact, Fang Yiyun truly believed he couldn’t teach him!


Lin Bai remained silent, saying nothing.


Upon hearing Fang Yiyun’s words, Shu Xiang, Wu Ming, Changsun Yun, and Meng Li seemed to somewhat understand, glancing at Lin Bai with complex expressions.


Lin Bai clasped his fists and said, “Thank you, Master Fang.”


Fang Yiyun shook his head and said, “Lin Bai, may I ask why you came to the East Continent Academy?”


Upon hearing this question, Lin Bai almost immediately thought of Lin Duo, of his father.


But Lin Bai couldn’t directly tell Fang Yiyun that Lin Duo was his father.


Lin Bai said calmly, “I want to become the number one person of this generation in the East Continent Academy!”


Hiss—


Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, Meng Li and Wu Ming gasped in shock.


Becoming the number one person in the East Continent Academy, they didn’t even dare to dream of such a thought. Not to mention the number one in the entire academy, they didn’t even dare to think about being number one in the Southern Yard.


Yet Lin Bai wanted to achieve it.


Fang Yiyun smiled and asked, “May I ask why?”


Lin Bai smiled and said, “No reason.”


Fang Yiyun’s eyes flickered, he did not continue to question and said to Lin Bai, “Lin Bai, although I cannot teach you anything in cultivation.”


“But I can provide you with some information, which is something I can do as a mentor.”


“As you are now, what you need most is a breakthrough in cultivation!”


“In the Southern Yard, there is a place suitable for your cultivation.”


“There you can quickly enhance your cultivation and possibly break through to the Life-and-Death Realm in a short time.”


“But also, this place is extremely dangerous for you now.”


Fang Yiyun said earnestly.


Upon hearing of a place where he could make a quick breakthrough in cultivation, Lin Bai’s eyes flickered, and he immediately asked, “Master Fang, what is this place?”


Fang Yiyun said, “Secret Realm! Evil Dragon Island!”


“Secret Realm? Evil Dragon Island?” Lin Bai looked at Fang Yiyun with some confusion.


Meng Li, Changsun Yun, Wu Ming, Shu Xiang all looked at Fang Yiyun in puzzlement as well.


Fang Yiyun chuckled and said, “In the ten thousand years of legacy of the East Continent Academy, many secret realms have been discovered!”


“Among these secret realms, some are ancient relics, some are cave mansions of ancient warriors, and some are treasure sites left from ancient times…”


“Within these secret realms, there are powerful treasures, spiritual medicines, cultivation resources, and so on!”


“Inside the East Continent Academy, there are seventy-eight thousand small secret realms, twenty-one thousand mid-level secret realms, and six thousand six hundred high-level secret realms!”


“And the Evil Dragon Island I just mentioned to you is one of these small secret realms.”


“The Evil Dragon Island Secret Realm is said to be formed by Lord Yuan Mo slaying a Divine Dragon on the God-Demon Sea!”


“But because the Divine Dragon fell, its resentment gathered and did not dissipate, transforming into an island where demons and monsters were born, disturbing the God-Demon Sea!”


“Subsequently, Lord Yuan Mo sealed the Evil Dragon Island, making it into a small secret realm.”


“All warriors entering Evil Dragon Island can slay the monsters there and obtain the spiritual energy crystal within the monsters.”


“These spiritual energy crystals are equivalent to the Divine Elixir within our bodies; for warriors, the spiritual energy crystal contains extremely pure spiritual energy and is a rare treasure on the path of cultivation.”


Fang Yiyun smiled at Lin Bai and said.


Upon hearing Fang Yiyun’s explanation, Lin Bai developed an intense interest in Evil Dragon Island.


Wu Ming also showed great interest and immediately asked, “Master Fang, may we also go to Evil Dragon Island?”


Fang Yiyun shook his head and said, “Not yet for you.”


Changsun Yun curiously asked, “Why can Lin Bai go, but we cannot?”


Fang Yiyun chuckled and said, “Because… the majority on Evil Dragon Island are strong beings from the Life-and-Death Realm from the Four Great Courts!”


“On Evil Dragon Island, the warriors are mostly between the first and third levels of the Life-and-Death Realm, with almost no Yangshen Realm warriors.”


Shu Xiang covered her mouth in shock and said, “Master Fang, since all on Evil Dragon Island are warriors of the Life-and-Death Realm, wouldn’t it be a situation of Nine Deaths One Life for Brother Lin Bai?”


Fang Yiyun chuckled and said, “That’s why I just mentioned, Lin Bai, this place is extremely dangerous for you now, but it is also the place where you can make the fastest breakthrough in cultivation.”


“If you feel there’s no way for you to survive on Evil Dragon Island, you can follow me, wait until your cultivation breaks through to the Life-and-Death Realm, and then go to Evil Dragon Island.”


Upon hearing Fang Yiyun’s words, Lin Bai said calmly, “I am currently only at the Eighth Level of the Yangshen Realm, wanting to break through to the Life-and-Death Realm now would take at least a year!”


Thinking it would take a year to break through to the Life-and-Death Realm, Lin Bai decisively shook his head and said, “I don’t have that much time.”


“Since this Evil Dragon Island Secret Realm is the most suitable place for my cultivation now, then I shall go there.”


Lin Bai said with determination.


Fang Yiyun said, “Since you have already made up your mind, then you can set off for Evil Dragon Island.”


“Moreover, let me remind you that on Evil Dragon Island, the greatest dangers are not always from the monsters…”


Fang Yiyun said with a faint smile.


Lin Bai smiled and said, “I understand; the greatest danger is always the fellow warriors around you…”


Fang Yiyun chuckled and said, “Actually, these are things you should have understood long ago; otherwise, you wouldn’t have come to the East Continent Academy!”


“But Lin Bai, don’t let your guard down.”


“All warriors who come to the East Continent Academy to learn are elites!”


Lin Bai solemnly clasped his fists and said, “Thank you, Master Fang, for your guidance!”


Fang Yiyun said with a strange laugh, “No matter when you decide to go to the Evil Dragon Island Secret Realm, you must return within five months…”


“Otherwise, if in five months you cause me to lose the martial arts competition with Su Ling and Bei Haiyan, I won’t spare you five little rascals!”


Fang Yiyun said fiercely.


Lin Bai and the others nodded firmly, secretly vowing to train hard in these five months and, after five months, defeat the warriors selected by Su Ling and Bei Haiyan.


“Come, let’s eat the fish.” Fang Yiyun smiled as he saw the fish in the pot was ready.
