Chapter 1991: Chapter 1988: Breaking Through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands!
Lan Yuxin stared blankly at Lin Bai, her heart beginning to ponder.
Just as Lin Bai said, given her current state, she could at most perform "Seal the Sky for a Moment" once more, and after that, her spiritual power and injuries would have reached their nadir.
Lan Yuxin also knew that her next strike would be impossible to kill Lin Bai.
And after one breath, even if Lin Bai was heavily injured, his two flying swords and his strength could still be used, whereas by then, Lan Yuxin would already be severely injured and dying!
In other words, after one breath, if Lan Yuxin didn’t kill Lin Bai, then Lin Bai would kill Lan Yuxin; those were the only two outcomes!
Lan Yuxin was silent for a long time, then said faintly, "You win."
"You have passed the Twelfth Island."
Lan Yuxin’s ice-blue eyes returned to normal, her aura restrained, without the intention to strike again. She took some elixir pills from her storage bag and began to heal her wounds.
Hearing Lan Yuxin’s words, Lin Bai also ceased his action, sitting cross-legged to begin healing.
"Did Lin Bai win?"
"He actually defeated Lan Yuxin?"
The first to express surprise were Brother Harper and Ren Tingga.
Brother Harper exclaimed, "This wasn’t Lan Yuxin going easy at all; Lan Yuxin continuously performed ’Seal the Sky for a Moment’ several times, clearly not wanting Lin Bai to pass the Twelfth Island."
"But Lin Bai eventually still won."
Ren Tingga said, "That’s incredible."
The seasoned disciples on the First Island collectively exclaimed, "Lin Bai won?"
"Lan Yuxin actually lost."
"Lin Bai is the first warrior to pass the Twelfth Island in this year’s examination."
The seasoned disciples exclaimed.
At this moment, a tremor spread across the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands.
A deep and powerful voice resonated throughout the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands.
Now, both the new warriors and the seasoned disciples guarding the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands all looked up to the sky.
Mo Feng from the Sixth Island said softly, "The trembling of the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands signifies that a disciple has broken through the Twelve Islands. Who could it be? Wu He? Shi Zhongxian? Or Yin Jiuling?"
On the Eleventh Island, Ren Yu felt the tremor of the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands and said blandly, "Someone has broken through the Twelfth Island. Is it Yin Jiuling or Blackstone Roland Sword Nine?"
"Or is it... him?"
Ren Yu squinted his eyes.
Amidst the bewildering murmurs across all the guardian seasoned disciples and new warriors on the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands.
A voice declared, "Lin Bai, the first warrior this year to break through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands!"
Swish——
When this voice echoed throughout the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands, all the guardians were astonished.
Mo Feng from the Sixth Island gasped, "It’s actually Lin Bai! I thought Blackstone Roland Sword Nine, Yin Jiuling, or Shi Zhongxian would have had a better chance."
Ren Yu marveled, "It turned out to be Lin Bai!"
Wu He said incredulously, "How could it be Lin Bai? Didn’t both Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and Yin Jiuling go to the Twelfth Island? How is it not them who passed, but Lin Bai!"
Shi Zhongxian said disbelievingly, "He actually passed the Twelfth Island!"
Shi Jiamu’s face also showed a slight shock.
Shui Qingling and Huo Fentian widened their eyes even more.
Shen Qin, Leng Yun, Xie Changqing, Zi Donglai, and others all revealed unprecedented expressions of astonishment.
Time slowly passed.
The newcomers’ welcoming assembly would last for a day.
By noon, Lin Bai was the first to pass through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands, causing astonishment among all the new warriors and seasoned disciples present.
Subsequently, no one else passed through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands.
As time reached dusk, except for Blackstone Roland Sword Nine, Yin Jiuling, and Lin Bai, no other warriors arrived at the Twelfth Island!
Brother Harper looked up at the sky and said calmly, "Time’s almost up; the newcomers’ welcoming assembly is about to end."
Ren Tingga looked towards the Twelfth Island, took a deep breath, and said, "It seems Lin Bai is the only one this year who can pass the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands!"
Brother Harper chuckled lightly, "Now, I’m more curious about which monastery Lin Bai will join. After all, breaking through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands gives him the right to choose."
"Alright, let the seasoned disciples fish out the new warriors who fell into the water."
"Everyone return to the First Island."
Brother Harper and Ren Tingga said loudly.
As Brother Harper and Ren Tingga’s voices spread throughout the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands.
The seasoned disciples went into the water to retrieve the new warriors, and afterwards, they returned directly to the First Island.
On the Twelfth Island.
Lin Bai, who was healing, silently opened his eyes and glanced at Lan Yuxin, who had long stood up in the distance.
Lan Yuxin glanced at Lin Bai, said nothing, and then soared away directly back to the First Island.
At this moment, Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and Yin Jiuling stepped into the martial arts competition arena, smiling as they cupped their fists and said, "Congratulations, Lin Bai, you are the only warrior this year to break through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands."
Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and Yin Jiuling both said with smiles.
Lin Bai smiled wryly and said, "Though I was lucky to get through, the price I paid was quite hefty."
"Let’s go; we’re heading back to the First Island."
Speaking, Lin Bai, along with Blackstone Roland Sword Nine and Yin Jiuling, took to the skies simultaneously, returning to the First Island.
When Lin Bai and the others returned to the First Island, almost all the guardians and new warriors had already returned to the First Island.
Many of the seasoned disciples and new warriors looked at Lin Bai with curiosity, but mostly with respect and apprehension.
After all, Lin Bai passing through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands from Lan Yuxin’s hands was enough to prove Lin Bai’s strength!
Brother Harper said loudly at this moment, "Alright, since all the warriors are back, let’s begin this year’s academy selection."
"During the island-breaking just now, I believe many warriors received invitations, and therefore, do not need to continue with the upcoming selection."
"And for those warriors who fell into the water, you can now apply to join a particular monastery."
"As the only warrior to pass through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands this time, Lin Bai, you have the privilege to forcibly join any monastery."
Brother Harper smiled lightly.
"Now let’s begin the academy selection."
Brother Harper said.
As Brother Harper’s voice fell, many new warriors stepped forward, cupped their fists, and said, "I would like to enter the Eastern Courtyard. May I have a chance from a senior brother of the Eastern Courtyard?"
"I want to enter the North Courtyard, where my elder brother is."
"I want to enter the West Courtyard..."
The warriors who stepped forward were mostly those who had just fallen into the water.
Under the strict selection of these seasoned guardian disciples, each warrior found a belonging.
Among them, the warriors of the Tianjiao Alliance, Jian Kong, Shi Zhongxian, Wu He, Shen Qin, Leng Yun, Shui Qingling, Tu Ziyun, Huo Fentian, Shi Jiamu, and others all joined the Eastern Courtyard!
And on the Monster Alliance side, the Four Heavenly Disabled Brothers, Pale Old Strange Man, Half-human Giant Beast, Ning, Hu Qi, and others also joined the Eastern Courtyard!
Undoubtedly, the Eastern Courtyard was the ultimate winner of this newcomers’ welcoming assembly since nearly all the warriors of the Tianjiao Alliance and Monster Alliance joined the Eastern Courtyard!
As for Blackstone Roland Sword Nine, Zi Donglai, Yin Jiuling, Xie Changqing, and others, they also joined the Eastern Courtyard!
Eventually, only Lin Bai was left!
