Chapter 2001: Chapter 1998: Wager Duel!
Hearing Lan Feng’s words, Lin Bai was startled.
Although Fang Yiyun’s cultivation is not high, unable to match Su Ling and Bei Haiyan, he only possesses the Great Perfection of the Life-and-Death Realm.
But Fang Yiyun holds the revered title of the First Sword Cultivator within the East Continent Academy.
It should be noted that in the East Continent Academy, most disciples’ cultivation tops at the Life-and-Death Realm, with the Life-and-Death Realm strong ones in all four yards adding up to hundreds of thousands!
And among these hundreds of thousands of warriors, the strongest Sword Cultivator is actually this slovenly old man in front of him who looks like a beggar.
Bei Haiyan sarcastically laughed at this moment, "Fang Yiyun, so what if you are strong? Lin Bai seems to know nothing about you."
Lin Bai indeed knew nothing about Fang Yiyun.
Not only about Fang Yiyun, but even Su Ling and Bei Haiyan had just heard some introductions from Lan Feng just now.
Su Ling then said, "Fang Yiyun, among us here, only you, I, and Bei Haiyan are qualified to teach Lin Bai."
"Hold on, Su Ling, you said it wrong, only I can teach him here, and you two..." Fang Yiyun looked at Su Ling and Bei Haiyan contemptuously.
Upon hearing this, Su Ling and Bei Haiyan, who were already narrow-minded, showed a flash of anger on their faces.
Su Ling coldly said, "Do you truly think your level of teaching disciples is stronger than ours?"
Fang Yiyun laughed triumphantly, "Of course."
Bei Haiyan coldly said, "Then let’s compare!"
Fang Yiyun curiously asked, "Want to compete with me? Haha, not that I’m boasting, but even if you two are tied together, you may not be able to defeat me!"
Su Ling’s face turned uglier, gloomy as water, and he coldly said, "Of course, it’s not us competing!"
"Here on Spirit Master Island, we are all here to serve as mentors!"
"Since you say your level of teaching disciples is higher than ours, then let’s compare!"
"You, I, and Bei Haiyan each select five new disciples to teach, and after five months, we have them compete!"
"Let’s see between us, who teaches disciples better!"
"Do you dare?"
Su Ling coldly said.
Upon hearing this, Bei Haiyan did not refuse, whereas a hint of fighting spirit appeared in his eyes as he looked at Fang Yiyun.
If it were martial arts, Bei Haiyan and Su Ling might not be Fang Yiyun’s match, but in terms of teaching disciples, Su Ling and Bei Haiyan did not think they would lose to him!
Upon hearing this, Fang Yiyun agreed without thinking, "Okay!"
Upon hearing Fang Yiyun agree, Su Ling immediately smiled and said, "All right then, Fang Yiyun, since you haven’t been a mentor for many years and we’ve been mentors for over thirty years continuously!"
"We will let you select five disciples first!"
"Please go ahead."
Su Ling and Bei Haiyan said.
Fang Yiyun impatiently said, "Why bother with such complications!"
"Lin Bai counts as one!"
"And then..." Fang Yiyun, under his messy hair, glanced around and saw that not far from Lin Bai, there were three males and one female, and he laughed, "You four."
These three males and one female were among the Southern Yard warriors this time, ranking among the bottom tier of the warriors.
They originally heard Fang Yiyun and the mentors’ conversation, so frightened that they dared not make a sound, staying in a corner with faces full of terror.
But how could they have known, because they were relatively close to Lin Bai, they had been chosen by Fang Yiyun!
"Us?" The three males and one female pointed to their noses incredulously.
These three males and one female also knew their strength and potential, ranking only at the bottom tier among the new Southern Yard warriors.
They originally believed Fang Yiyun would carefully select and pick five extraordinary new warriors from over a thousand new warriors.
But they never expected Fang Yiyun to be so casual...
"Yes, it’s you! Come over." Fang Yiyun said with a smile.
The three males and one female, with bewildered expressions, silently walked to Fang Yiyun’s side.
Lan Feng looked at the three males and one female, flipped open a thick book in his hand, and said blandly, "Meng Li, Changsun Yun, Wu Ming, Shu Xiang..."
Lan Feng mumbled, "The five people chosen by Senior Fang Yiyun, apart from Lin Bai, the other four are almost all bottom of the heap in this Southern Yard recruitment, not even mid-tier..."
Su Ling and Bei Haiyan’s insight was keen. With just a glance at those three males and one female, they saw their lack of potential and strength...
The two of them exchanged a smile, knowing Fang Yiyun had drawn a very poor hand!
Su Ling said, "Fang Yiyun, since you’ve chosen, we’ll start selecting disciples now!"
Fang Yiyun casually waved his hand, indicating they should hurry up.
Immediately, Su Ling and Bei Haiyan scanned the crowd, like eagles, looking over these thousands of warriors and identifying the most outstanding five.
"You, you, you... and you..." Su Ling pointed at warriors in the crowd.
Simultaneously, Bei Haiyan also selected five individuals from the crowd just like Su Ling!
Lan Feng flipped open the book in his hand again, mumbling, "Su Ling’s choices are... Pan Feiyang, Oliver Ouyang, Qiu Tong, Ying Tianchao, Song Fan!"
"Bei Haiyan’s choices are... Tan Jing, Chang Yunzai, Su Boyuan, Luo Song, Luo Yu!"
"These individuals are ’Second Tianjiao’ on Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain this year!"
Lan Feng looked at the people chosen by Su Ling and Bei Haiyan, then glanced at Fang Yiyun, and thought silently to himself, "In Fang Yiyun’s hands, apart from Lin Bai, the other four are worlds apart from these Second Tianjiao!"
"If it truly comes to a competition, they might lose terribly!"
Lan Feng said faintly.
Second Tianjiao refers to warriors who have stepped into the Ninth Floor on Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain, with some shining aspects.
It’s just that the glow of Tianjiao on the Ninth Floor is too strong, suppressing these warriors.
Therefore, these outstanding warriors are all known as Second Tianjiao!
But don’t underestimate Second Tianjiao, as in the East Continent Academy, once dazzling Tianjiao figures on Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain often find themselves overshadowed by Second Tianjiao after entering the East Continent Academy.
Other mentors, seeing the warriors chosen by Su Ling and Bei Haiyan, exchanged amused smiles: "Su Ling and Bei Haiyan are indeed seasoned mentors of decades, their insight is truly sharp!"
"Indeed, apart from Lin Bai here, most of the promising seedlings have been chosen by them."
"However, I’m more interested in how Fang Yiyun, apart from Lin Bai, will transform those other four, who are virtually useless, within five months?"
Many mentors looked at Fang Yiyun.
Su Ling said, "Fang Yiyun, since we’ve all made our choices, let’s meet again in five months!"
"In five months, on Spirit Master Island, we’ll have our disciples compete, in five rounds, with the first to win three rounds securing the final victory!"
Fang Yiyun seemed not to hear what Su Ling and Bei Haiyan said, yawned, and impatiently said, "You’ve all made your choices? If so, may I take Lin Bai with me now?"
Seeing Fang Yiyun still looking down on them, Su Ling and Bei Haiyan could only grumble with clenched teeth, "You may!"
