Chapter 1981: Chapter 1978: Astonishing Mastery of Sword Art!
Lin Bai stepped into the arena, looking at Hong Wenhai.
This person was from the West Courtyard, just like Zhang Li from the Second Island.
Hong Wenhai looked at Lin Bai, a playful smile appearing on his face, and said lightly, “Lin Bai, since you’ve made it here, it seems you’ve rejected the invitations from the disciples of the first four islands.”
“Since that’s the case, there’s no need for further words. Defeat me, or gain my approval, and you can still proceed to the Sixth Island.”
“But I must also remind you, if you’re not my match, don’t blame me for throwing you into the sea.”
A mischievous smile appeared at the corner of Hong Wenhai’s mouth, and a powerful force immediately surged around him, shooting straight into the Cloud Sky, with a strong sense of battle intent spreading out instantly.
“Take this!”
Without any further words, Hong Wenhai threw a powerful punch directly toward Lin Bai’s face!
Rumble——
The immense force shook the entire Fifth Island.
The new warrior who had just engaged in battle with Hong Wenhai was now staring in shock at the power displayed by Hong Wenhai, his voice trembling as he said, “How can his power be so strong?”
“Is this his true power? Did he still hide his strength when we fought earlier?”
The new warrior exclaimed in astonishment, secretly relieved that he admitted defeat in time and joined the West Courtyard. Otherwise, if he continued fighting, he feared he’d be thrown into the sea to soak.
“I wonder if Lin Bai can withstand such a powerful punch coming at him.”
The new warrior turned his gaze toward Lin Bai.
Since Lin Bai entered the arena, he hadn’t spoken a word. Even now, as Hong Wenhai launched his attack, Lin Bai remained expressionless, not saying a word.
Just as Hong Wenhai’s punch reached Lin Bai——
Buzz——
The new warrior clearly saw a brilliant sword light flash from Lin Bai’s hand.
In an instant, Hong Wenhai, who was charging forward, stopped in his tracks.
“What’s happening?”
The new warrior looked at the scene in shock.
Lin Bai was still standing there, motionless.
Hong Wenhai, who had charged from a thousand meters away with unstoppable momentum, stopped suddenly because Lin Bai’s sharp sword was already at his throat.
Hong Wenhai’s face was filled with terror as his pupils dilated. He couldn’t believe his overwhelmingly powerful punch had been easily seen through by Lin Bai, who had placed the sharp sword straight at his throat.
Lin Bai’s sword, though seemingly simple, was just a raised hand. Other disciples would find it extremely difficult to achieve such a feat!
First, when Hong Wenhai’s punch came forward, its speed and strength were astonishingly heaven-defying, unstoppable.
Second, Hong Wenhai’s cultivation power spread out like a tight barrier, able to repel all surrounding attacks.
Yet Lin Bai stood in place, not moving a step, raised his sword, broke through Hong Wenhai’s defenses, and brought the sword to his throat.
This sword carried profound sword art mastery!
“Still want to fight?”
With the sword edge at Hong Wenhai’s throat, Lin Bai coldly asked.
Hong Wenhai’s head was drenched in sweat, his entire body soaked with cold sweat. He knew that with any rash movement, Lin Bai’s sword could easily penetrate his throat!
Gulp!
Hong Wenhai swallowed difficultly, fearfully looking at Lin Bai and said, “No need to continue, you’ve passed the Fifth Island.”
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai retracted his sword edge.
Without the sword edge, Hong Wenhai finally breathed a sigh of relief, looking at Lin Bai, he said, “The first sword cultivator of this year’s assessment truly lives up to your reputation.”
“But I must also remind you, this is only the Fifth Island, the warriors that follow are even stronger.”
“Good luck.”
Hong Wenhai said with a faint smile.
“Thank you.” Lin Bai smiled and flew towards the distant horizon, heading to the Sixth Island.
Hong Wenhai looked at Lin Bai’s departing figure, rubbing his neck with lingering fear, and said out of the blue, “Does this person’s sword art mastery run so deep? Amazingly stronger than both Ning and Jian Kong, encountered previously.”
“The first sword cultivator in the assessment truly lives up to their reputation.”
“Impressive.”
“But I’m more curious which monastery he will choose?”
“Could it be that he, like other Tianjiao, doesn’t want to accept invitations and prefers to showcase his real strength to join a monastery?”
Hong Wenhai frowned as he spoke; during Lin Bai’s journey, he hadn’t accepted any invitations from the monasteries, which surprised Hong Wenhai.
Currently, Tianjiao and monsters in the lead, such as Ning, Yin Jiuling, Wu He, Shi Zhongxian, and others.
They all received invitations from the Four Great Courts but directly refused, craving only to prove their strength and cross over the Twelve Islands.
In past years, every warrior with the capability to cross the Twelve Islands inevitably stirs up many waves in the East Continent Academy in the following years and receives more cultivation and resources after entering a monastery.
In fact, this is the true goal for establishing the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands, to select those qualified to cross them, choose the true Tianjiao, and focus on cultivating them further.
Although those qualified to ascend the Ninth Floor of the Nine Heavens Origin Mountain count as top talents in the East Continent, there remains a big gap between geniuses.
For instance, Wu He and Shi Zhongxian have much higher potential than Shui Qingling and Huo Fentian.
The Flying Dragon Twelve Islands aim to select the strongest among this wolf pack, determining who the Wolf King truly is!
Lin Bai flew out of the Fifth Island, arriving at the Sixth Island.
The guardian of the Sixth Island, Mo Feng!
Rustle——
On the Sixth Island, terrifying storms began to rise, encircling the entire island.
Lin Bai arrived above the Sixth Island, seeing many warriors struck by the storms, falling into the sea without even setting foot on the island.
Mo Feng, however, was sitting cross-legged in the Martial Arts Competition Arena, looking up at Lin Bai coldly, saying, “If you break through my storm, you’ll qualify to fight me. If you can’t, you’ll end up in the sea outside the Sixth Island, just like them.”
Mo Feng said faintly to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai’s eyes were focused as he looked at the storm in this place.
These storms rotated rapidly in a clockwise direction, with gang wind like blades, dense and impenetrable.
“Such gang wind is incredibly strong, an ordinary higher grade spiritual tool thrown into it would instantly be shredded to pieces…” Lin Bai was internally amazed.
In a moment, strands of blue thunderbolt spread from within Lin Bai, enveloping him. At that moment, Lin Bai stepped directly into the gang wind.
