Within the borders of Shinbu, there are four supreme martial arts sects.
The Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace, the Blazing Fire Palace, the Edgeless Gate, and the Spirit Sword Sect.
The Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace is recognized as the strongest and most profound among the four major sects, having been established for over a thousand years.
The Blazing Fire Palace and the Edgeless Gate are only slightly less powerful.
The weakest of the four is the Spirit Sword Sect.
In fact, at one time, the Spirit Sword Sect was even stronger than the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace and was the most powerful sect in Shinbu.
Unfortunately, a hundred years ago, a traitor emerged from the Spirit Sword Sect, stealing most of its supreme martial arts techniques and disappearing from Shinbu.
With the loss of a large number of martial arts techniques, the Spirit Sword Sect fell into decline.
At this time, the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace took advantage of the situation, suppressing the Spirit Sword Sect. The two major sects went to war, and the Spirit Sword Sect suffered a defeat.
Under the double blow, the Spirit Sword Sect lost its former glory and was almost replaced by some third-rate sects.
Early in the morning.
Lin Bai got up and washed up.
Today is a big day for Lin Bai. Not only does he need to defeat Lin Zier, but he also wants to join one of the four major sects to pursue greater strength and martial arts cultivation.
Lin Yue, who had spent the night detoxifying, had already removed two-thirds of the toxins from his body and had recovered some of his martial arts cultivation. He went to the recruitment site with Lin Bai.
The recruitment arena is at the City Lord's Mansion.
Today, the City Lord's Mansion opened its gates, allowing all the martial artists in Lingxi City to enter.
In the square of the City Lord's Mansion, Lin Bai thought he had arrived early, but to his surprise, the square was already packed when he and Lin Yue arrived.
"I thought we came early, but it seems there are people who came even earlier," Lin Bai said with a bitter smile to Lin Yue beside him.
At this moment, a martial artist beside Lin Bai said, "What early? I've been waiting here for three days."
Lin Bai laughed dryly.
"The recruitment arena is a great opportunity for martial artists in Lingxi City to rise to prominence. They naturally wouldn't miss it."
"Lin Bai, if you haven't decided which sect to join, I suggest you go to the Spirit Sword Sect," Lin Yue said earnestly.
"Why?"
Lin Bai asked in confusion.
"It's too early to talk about that now. We'll see after you pass the test," Lin Yue smiled.
Isn't the strongest sect the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace? Why does Lin Yue suggest I go to the Spirit Sword Sect?
The Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace is the largest sect in Shinbu, with the deepest foundation and the strongest power among the four major sects.
Joining the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace, Lin Bai would gain more cultivation resources and accelerate his cultivation speed.
"You're here too!"
At this moment, a man walked past Lin Bai, looking at him with ill intent.
Lin Bai recognized him as Ye Rulong.
"What? Can't I come?" Lin Bai asked with a cold laugh.
"Hmph, the recruitment arena is a stage for the geniuses of Lingxi City. What right does a waste like you have to step on it?" Ye Rulong said with disdain.
"Whether I have the right or not is not up to you to decide. Besides, I don't think I'm a waste."
"Who is the waste will be clear once we step on the stage."
Lin Bai glanced at Ye Rulong with disdain.
This person has a cultivation level of the ninth stage of martial arts and has just broken through, making his realm unstable. Defeating him wouldn't even require Lin Bai to draw his sword.
Lin Bai was curious about what Ye Rulong was boasting about in front of him.
"Haha, you're right. Once we're on the stage, if you dare to step up, I'll beat you until you can't take care of yourself!" Ye Rulong said through gritted teeth.
After saying that, Ye Rulong and the geniuses of the Ye family walked away.
"When did you offend this second-generation rich kid?" Lin Yue asked curiously.
"Last night at the Treasure Hall, there was a verbal conflict," Lin Bai briefly explained what happened at the Treasure Hall last night to Lin Yue.
After hearing this, Lin Yue narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the Ye family: "Hmph, I see. It looks like the Ye family won't last long in Lingxi City."
With his martial arts cultivation restored, Lin Yue was full of confidence.
After all, this is a world where martial arts are supreme.
Without strength, you can only be bullied.
But if you have strength, even if you don't bully others, others won't dare to bully you!
Suddenly, Lin Bai felt a cold gaze fixed on him.
Lin Bai looked up, his gaze passing through the crowd and landing on a purple-clothed girl on the eastern side of the square.
This purple-clothed girl was looking at him with a mocking expression.
"Lin Zier!"
This girl was indeed Lin Zier.
Lin Taiheng, standing beside Lin Zier, said, "That Lin Bai is really fearless, he actually dared to come."
"It doesn't matter, Father. He's just a clown," Lin Zier shook her head and said.
"My focus is no longer on Lingxi City, but on the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace."
After giving Lin Bai a mocking and disdainful look, Lin Zier lost interest and turned her gaze to the high platform.
"Damn, she dares to look down on me. Today, I'll make her pay!" Lin Bai clenched his fists in anger and said.
After waiting for a long time, the elders of the four major sects still hadn't arrived.
"Wow, the sun is up, it's so hot."
"The sun is already high, why hasn't it started yet?"
Some martial artists couldn't stand it anymore and started to complain.
Just then, when the crowd in the square had reached its peak, the City Lord of Lingxi City and four robust elders walked onto the high platform.
"They're here, the City Lord of Lingxi City and the elders of the four major sects!"
The crowd first let out a chorus of exclamations, then fell silent.
After all, in front of the four major sects and the City Lord of Lingxi City, they couldn't afford to be disrespectful.
Lin Bai also looked up.
He saw five middle-aged men on the high platform.
One was wearing a purple-gold robe, with a golden crown on his head, exuding an aura of high authority that made all the martial artists in the square feel a shock. This was the City Lord of Lingxi City.
The other four middle-aged men had the words "Canghai," "Spirit Sword," "Blazing Fire," and "Edgeless" embroidered on their clothes, respectively.
Lin Bai immediately knew that these were the elders of the four major sects, responsible for this recruitment.
However, upon closer inspection, Lin Bai noticed that the elders of the four major sects were not talking to each other.
Especially the elder of the Spirit Sword Sect, who had a cold expression and a look of displeasure on his face.
The elder of the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace and the elder of the Blazing Fire Palace were chatting happily.
The elder of the Edgeless Gate closed his eyes as soon as he stepped onto the platform, as if the recruitment had nothing to do with him.
"Silence!"
After the City Lord of Lingxi City stepped onto the platform, he raised his arm, and a powerful force swept across the square, making the already quiet square even more silent.
"These four are the elders sent by the four major sects for this recruitment!"
"This is Elder Murong Qi of the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace!"
"This is Elder Xiao Tianchu of the Blazing Fire Palace."
"This is Elder Ling Han of the Edgeless Gate."
"This is Elder Ji Bei of the Spirit Sword Sect."
"We greet the elders of the four sects and the City Lord of Lingxi City."
After the City Lord of Lingxi City introduced them, all the martial artists bowed in unison.
After the martial artists bowed, the City Lord of Lingxi City continued, "The recruitment arena will take place in the Tianyou Valley."
"I have already arranged for tokens to be placed in the Tianyou Valley last night."
"Each token counts as one point. The arena will last half a day, and the ranking will be based on the points accumulated after half a day."
The City Lord of Lingxi City said with a smile, "We all know that in this world, martial artists are supreme. The better your ranking today, the more attention you will receive, and the stronger sect you can join among the four major sects."
"So, martial artists of Lingxi City, work hard. The world is yours!"
"Thank you, City Lord. We will not let you down!" The martial artists expressed their gratitude to the City Lord of Lingxi City.
The City Lord of Lingxi City smiled and said with great enthusiasm, "Good. Now, those who wish to participate in the recruitment arena, follow me to the Tianyou Valley."
"The rest of you, wait here."
Just as the City Lord of Lingxi City was about to instruct someone to lead the martial artists away, a voice called out, "Wait!"
Elder Murong Qi of the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace stood up with a smile and said, "Haha, Elder Murong, do you have anything to add?" the City Lord of Lingxi City asked with a smile.
"Not really, but I was entrusted by someone to designate a martial artist," Murong Qi said calmly.
Designated spot?
All the martial artists drew a sharp breath.
To be designated by the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace, this person must be truly outstanding!
"Who is the martial artist that the Canghai Cloud Terrace Palace wants to designate?" the City Lord of Lingxi City asked curiously.
Murong Qi took a step forward and scanned the square with a sharp gaze, "Is Lin Zier here?"
