The Unparalleled Sword Emperor
Chapter 1998: Chapter 1995: Spirit Master Island!
Lan Yuxin and Lan Ling conversed for a long time.
Lan Ling also told Lan Yuxin many stories of their past.
Lan Yuxin could see that every time Lan Ling reminisced about these memories, his face was always full of sunny smiles, full of longing.
But every time Lan Ling finished speaking, he was very pained, very regretful, very saddened.
Lan Ling laughed and said: "What a pity, we can never go back. We brothers can never return to the days when we sat under the plum blossom tree drinking wine together, to the days when we pointed to the mountains and laughed at heroes of the world like ants."
"Ah."
With a look of agony on his face, Lan Ling sighed heavily.
Lan Yuxin knelt beside Lan Ling, and softly consoled, "Alright, father, don't dwell on it anymore."
Lan Ling smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, Lin Bai has been in the Southern Yard Archipelago for half a month already, and soon it will be time to choose a mentor. Has the list of mentors come out this year?"
Lan Yuxin took out a jade slip from the storage bag and handed it to Lan Ling, saying, "I've looked at this year's mentors, they're quite good, all strong warriors in the Death Reversal Realm."
Lan Ling took it and frowned, saying, "Su Ling, Bei Yanhai, these two are not bad."
"But these two are not sword cultivators, not suitable for Lin Bai."
"If they were to guide Lin Bai, it might delay his cultivation for a long time."
"Besides, these two are typical opportunists who only choose outstanding warriors, fearing that Lin Bai's temperament might not match theirs."
Lan Ling said faintly.
Lan Yuxin asked, "So, father, your meaning is..."
Lan Ling was silent for a long time, then took out a blank jade slip from the storage bag, imprinted it on his forehead for a long time, and handed it to Lan Yuxin, saying, "You take my jade slip and find Fang Yiyun!"
"Have him attend as a mentor to be responsible for teaching Lin Bai!"
"Fang Yiyun, Elder Fang?" Lan Yuxin widened her eyes.
But after pondering for a long time, Lan Yuxin frowned and said, "Father, but this Elder Fang's mind is quite strange and hard to predict, even if I take your jade slip to him, I fear he may not come out."
Lan Ling laughed, "You just need to take my jade slip to him, he once owed me a favor and will definitely come out to assist."
"Moreover, there is no one else in the Southern Yard more suitable to guide Lin Bai!"
Lan Yuxin held the jade slip and nodded lightly, saying, "Then I'll give it a try..."
Immediately, Lan Yuxin left the island where Lan Ling was located, disappearing into the South Sea Archipelago.
Half a day later, Lan Yuxin arrived at a very desolate island.
After entering the island, it took Lan Yuxin half a day to come out, and when she emerged, a thunderous voice came from the island: "Go back and tell your old man father, I'll help him, but let's get things straight first, if this kid named Lin Bai is a complete waste, then don't blame me for being ruthless."
"And after this matter, I owe nothing to your Lan Clan, it's best not to have contact in the future, I fear to set myself on fire!"
Lan Yuxin hurriedly left the island and returned to find Lan Ling.
After Lin Bai returned from the South Sea Archipelago, he practiced his sword skill on Dragon Raising Island for a month!
"It's been a month, as Shang Xiaobing said before, in a month's time, there will be mentors arriving on Spirit Master Island to guide new warriors."
"I should go to Spirit Master Island as well."
After washing up, Lin Bai got up and directly left Dragon Raising Island, took out a map, confirmed the direction of Spirit Master Island, and flew directly towards it.
The East Continent Academy is truly vast, even the Southern Yard is extremely complex and grand.
An ordinary warrior, if they want to traverse the entire Southern Yard by themselves and understand it thoroughly, it would probably take several years.
Moreover, many cultivation resources are still out of reach.
To avoid this, and also to help new warriors quickly integrate into the cultivation atmosphere of the East Continent Academy, the Academy arranges mentors for every new disciple each year.
The main responsibility of a mentor is to guide these new warriors onto the correct path of cultivation.
Of course, the stronger the mentor, the higher their status in the Southern Yard, and their disciples will be more outstanding.
Thus, choosing a good mentor can make a new warrior's cultivation even more refined.
The Flying Dragon Twelve Islands are where warriors choose one of the Four Great Courts.
But Spirit Master Island is where new warriors select their mentor!
After leaving Dragon Raising Island, Lin Bai headed straight to Spirit Master Island.
At noon, Lin Bai arrived on Spirit Master Island, and saw many new warriors already gathered there.
These new warriors had already been in the Southern Yard for a month, many had made new friends, and their cultivation had advanced, each one brimming with vitality and spirit.
"Lin Bai is here."
Many warriors saw Lin Bai arrive and began to laugh.
But these people no longer held the same respect for Lin Bai that they had on Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain and Flying Dragon Twelve Islands.
Back on Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain and Flying Dragon Twelve Islands, their gazes towards Lin Bai were full of respect and awe, feeling Lin Bai was unattainable.
But during this month in the Southern Yard Archipelago, as their cultivation improved and their outlook expanded, upon reflection, they realized that Lin Bai was not impossible to surpass.
Thus, their sense of awe no longer existed.
However, this suited Lin Bai just fine, as he did not want them to revere him!
"Lin Bai! Humph, though he made a great splash on Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain and Flying Dragon Twelve Islands, hasn't he still come to the Southern Yard like me, still coming here to choose a mentor."
"Exactly, what use is being the number one sword cultivator in the assessment? What use is being the only passer of Flying Dragon Twelve Islands? We're all still standing together, aren't we?"
"That's right, it's nothing special."
Some warriors even whispered.
When Lin Bai heard their voices, he frowned slightly, and thought with a light laugh, "Looks like their horizons have expanded significantly during this month in the Southern Yard Archipelago!"
"Which is good."
Lin Bai's mouth curled into a faint smile.
Over a thousand new warriors who joined the Southern Yard had now all arrived on Spirit Master Island, awaiting the mentors' arrival.
Lin Bai stood in a corner, his eyes steady, ponderous.
Lin Bai recalled what Lan Yuxin said to him half a month ago: "Unless you are the first person of the East Continent Academy, otherwise, my father will not see a nameless person like you!"
Thinking of these words ignited Lin Bai's enthusiasm.
Lan Yuxin was not wrong, Lin Bai was just an ordinary warrior of the Southern Yard, among the tens of thousands of warriors, essentially at the bottom.
With Lin Bai's current identity and status, dreaming of meeting Lan Ling, the ruler of the Lan Clan, a member of the Order Divine Court, the highest echelon of East Continent Academy, was indeed a bit of a fantasy.
In terms of strength and status, there was too vast a gap between Lin Bai and Lan Ling!
"Being the first person of East Continent Academy! I'll reach that point sooner or later!" Lin Bai leaned against the wall, his eyes exceptionally resolute.
Just then, a series of streams of light flew across the midair.
The streams of light reached Spirit Master Island, revealing the shadow of a person.
All the new warriors looked up, including Lin Bai, who also raised his gaze.
Someone exclaimed: "The mentors are here this year..."
