Yexuixin was also taken away by them and did not participate in the subsequent disciple recruitment ceremony.
The recruitment of disciples is a process where the elders of the Zhi Ling Sword Sect select and cultivate outstanding disciples.
Jibei led a group of surviving warriors, about three hundred in total, to the disciple recruitment hall.
Out of seven hundred participants, only three hundred survived.
This survival rate was quite low. Apart from the few New King candidates, Lin Bai didn't actually kill many people.
In the disciple recruitment hall,
The inner sect elders of the Lingjian Sect were already waiting.
Seeing Jibei lead the warriors in, they all smiled slightly.
In the crowd, Lin Bai, Qi Shaolong, Tiedan, and others stood together.
"He is Ling Tianzi!"
Jibei whispered to Lin Bai.
Lin Bai turned to look at a middle-aged man standing at the end of the elder pavilion, with long hair, thick eyebrows, and a striking presence, and was startled.
Ling Tianzi did not notice Lin Bai, but kept his eyes closed, resting in meditation.
"Out of seven hundred, three hundred survived. Not bad," the head elder said with a smile as Jibei led the warriors in.
"Please, Elder Jibei, announce the rankings of this trial, so the elders can have some reference," the head elder said with a smile.
"Sure."
Jibei responded and announced the already compiled rankings.
"In this trial, ten people performed exceptionally well, earning many tokens."
"Starting with the tenth place, Sun Wang, with thirty-one ordinary tokens."
The head elder looked around: "Who is Sun Wang? Step forward."
"Disciple here!"
A thin, nervous young man stood beside Jibei.
"Show your martial soul rank," the head elder said.
"Yes."
Sun Wang responded, and a glow flashed, revealing seven yellow rings around him.
"A seventh-rank yellow martial soul, not bad."
The head elder praised: "Any elder interested in taking Sun Wang as a disciple?"
Sun Wang stood in the center, nervous and hopeful.
If he were taken as a disciple today, it would be like soaring to the top in the Lingjian Sect. With an elder backing him, even the Divine Alliance would have to show some respect.
Therefore, this disciple recruitment was very important for the new warriors.
In the disciple recruitment hall, over a hundred elders watched Sun Wang closely.
"Since no one is speaking, I'll take him," an old man said after waiting for a while, stepping forward with a smile.
"I am Kong Shuang. Sun Wang, are you willing to be my disciple?" the old man asked, looking directly at Lin Bai.
Kong Shuang held a good position among the elders.
Hearing that Kong Shuang wanted a disciple, the other elders smiled and did not compete with him.
"Disciple is willing," Sun Wang responded, kneeling down quickly: "Greetings, Master."
"Stand up. Wait to the side, and after the recruitment, you will follow me back to my peak for training."
Each elder had their own independent peak, separate from the others.
"Zhang Xunlong? A descendant of the Zhang family," the head elder said, looking at a nearby black-robed elder with a smile.
"Head Elder, indeed a descendant of the Zhang family. Xunlong, come to your second uncle," the black-robed elder stood up and smiled.
"Yes," Zhang Xunlong responded, walking behind the black-robed elder.
Jibei continued announcing the rankings.
Qi Shaolong and Tiedan only killed twenty beasts and did not make the top ten.
"Fourth place in this trial, Wang Ba, thirty-nine ordinary tokens!"
A disciple took Wang Ba as a disciple.
"Third place, Ye Guxing, ninety-two ordinary tokens."
Jibei continued.
"Ninety-two ordinary tokens!"
"It's Ye Guxing. My goodness, the New King's strength is terrifying."
"Only one rank difference between third and fourth, but a difference of over fifty tokens!"
Upon hearing this number, all the warriors gasped in shock.
Ye Guxing, quiet and reserved, walked forward and bowed to the elders.
"Ye Guxing, are you willing to be my disciple?"
"I am willing to take you as a disciple!"
Two elders who had been silent for a long time stood up and said.
"My goodness, the top ten elders are competing for him!"
"Zhang Yi and Zhao Qian from the top ten elders both want Ye Guxing!"
The other warriors were amazed. They begged for someone to take them, but no one wanted them, while Ye Guxing had two top ten elders vying for him.
Comparing people can be deadly.
"What are the top ten elders?" Lin Bai asked Qi Shaolong.
Qi Shaolong whispered: "In the Lingjian Sect, the elders are ranked. The top ten elders are the ten strongest elders, with the head elder being the top one."
"I see," Lin Bai understood.
So the head elder is one of the top ten elders.
"Be careful, this head elder is Xiang Tianyi's father," Qi Shaolong added quietly.
"What?"
Lin Bai was surprised.
"Disciple is willing to be Elder Zhang Yi's disciple," Ye Guxing hesitated for a moment and then spoke quietly.
Zhao Qian, seeing that Ye Guxing did not choose him, was furious: "Hmph, I hope you don't regret it!"
He returned to his seat, his face dark.
Zhang Yi happily took Ye Guxing as a disciple.
Jibei continued: "Second place in this trial, Nan Li Dao, one hundred and twenty-three tokens."
"I'll take Nan Li Dao," an elder said as soon as Jibei finished speaking.
"Another one of the top ten elders, Ji Bai!"
The warriors were surprised to see this elder step forward.
Ji Bai, one of the top ten elders, laughed: "To be honest, Nan Li Dao is a gem I found outside, and I guided him to the Lingjian Sect."
"Given this, I don't think anyone will compete with me."
Ji Bai laughed heartily.
The other elders laughed and joked for a moment, and Nan Li Dao was smoothly taken under Ji Bai's wing.
Nan Li Dao was second, so the first place was next.
"I have three hundred and twenty-one ordinary tokens and one purple token, so I should be first," Lin Bai said, taking a deep breath.
Jibei looked at Lin Bai and announced: "First place in this trial, Lin Bai, three hundred and twenty-one ordinary tokens, one purple token."
Lin Bai stepped forward and bowed: "Greetings, elders."
Ling Tianzi's eyes showed a hint of interest when he saw Lin Bai.
"Lin Bai is amazing, over three hundred tokens! My goodness!"
"Second place, Nan Li Dao, had only a hundred tokens, while Lin Bai has over three hundred! What a huge difference!"
Many warriors found it hard to believe.
"Three hundred and twenty-one ordinary tokens and one purple token, Lin Bai, you did very well," the head elder said with a smile. "Would you be willing to be my disciple?"
The head elder, the top elder of the Lingjian Sect, second only to the sect leader, stood up with a kind smile, looking at Lin Bai warmly.
He was confident that Lin Bai would not refuse his offer to be a disciple.
"The head elder is taking a disciple, my goodness, the top elder is taking a disciple!"
"This is a heaven-defying opportunity!"
"Yes, with the head elder's backing, Lin Bai will surely rise to the top in the Lingjian Sect."
"Lin Bai, accept it. Once you do, becoming an outer sect, inner sect, or core disciple will be easy," Qi Shaolong urged Lin Bai quietly.
Lin Bai frowned when he heard the head elder's offer.
He is Xiang Tianyi's father, and in three months, Lin Bai plans to kill Xiang Tianyi.
If he were to become his disciple, he would bear the stigma of betraying his master.
Moreover, Lin Bai did not want to be the head elder's disciple.
He wanted to be Ling Tianzi's disciple.
"Head Elder, I... I am unwilling!"
