The horses that Lin Bai and Ji Bei rode were all good horses raised by the imperial family. They were extremely fast, allowing Lin Bai and Ji Bei to return to the Lingjian Sect in just three days.
Ji Bei continued: "Last year's nine core warriors were basically the people supported by the Young Sect Leader."
"Their strength from high to low are: Qu Feng, Ye Mobei, Long Xiangtian, Jing Zhonghai, Mei Heyuan, Cai Haoji, Lin Chen, Song Zihuan, Qi Yang."
Lin Bai nodded silently. Although Lin Bai had never heard of any of these people, since he could become a core disciple, he must be very capable and very comparable to others.
Ji Bei said: "Of the nine core warriors today, the one with the lowest cultivation level should be Qi Yang. In the positioning battle for the core warrior assessment last year, he fought to the death with others and damaged his foundation in order to win the status of the core warrior.
, there has been basically no progress in cultivation over the past year.”
"And the other eight people have actually broken through to the peak of the ninth level of the Tianwu Realm. Among them, Qu Feng has even reached the early stage of the Half-Step Divine Pill Realm."
Lin Bai nodded slowly.
Ji Bei smiled and said: "So, if you want to become a core warrior this year, it is best to challenge Qi Yang. This person is easier to bully."
"Oh." Lin Bai responded.
Ji Bei didn't know yet that Qi Yang had been killed by Lin Bai in the East China Sea.
Now Lin Bai is still wondering, how could Qi Yang, one of the nine core disciples, only reach the sixth level of the Tianwu Realm? It turned out that he fought to the death to win the position of the core warrior last year and damaged his foundation.
, it has only been a year, and it is difficult to take a step forward in the sixth level of Tianwu Realm.
Ji Bei continued: "Next, you have to pay attention to the top ten masters on the inner sect's top 100 list. The first is the number one on the top 100 list, Cai Xuan."
"This person's cultivation has reached the ninth level of Tianwu Realm, and he will definitely become a core warrior this year."
The inner sect's top 100 list is actually two lists.
One is the Tianwu Realm Top 100 Ranking.
One is, Earth Martial Realm Top 100 Ranking.
However, after the Lingjian Sect was defeated, fewer and fewer of its disciples broke through to the Tianwu Realm. In the past few years, the number dropped to even a hundred.
Therefore, the Top 100 Ranking of the Tianwu Realm was cancelled, and only the top ten were determined, which were merged with the Top 100 Ranking of the Earthly Martial Realm to form the Top 100 Ranking of the Inner Sect of Spirit Sword Sect.
Therefore, the top ten on the list of the top 100 inner sect warriors are basically the strongest warriors below the core warriors.
Far from being comparable to the 11th place on the top 100 list.
Lin Bai killed Murong Yeshen and took over the eleventh position on the list of top 100 inner sects.
Ji Bei said: "The top ten of this year's top 100 inner sects are: Cai Xuan, Di Yuan, Luo Yixi, Yin Jiaju, Tong Xin, Lu Yuan, Qiao Xukun, Hua Wei, Luo Qixiao."
"The only Sword Alliance warrior in the top ten on the top 100 list is Lu Yuan."
"It's a pity that he has already been crippled. The Sword Alliance is now trying to persuade him not to take part in the core warrior assessment, but he has to fight to the death, and I don't know if he can gain anything."
Lin Bai thought of Lu Yuan and felt a little sad.
Lin Bai was grateful to Lu Yuan. If Lin Bai had not gone to the year-end festival of Shenwu Kingdom, Lu Yuan would not have been entrusted by the second elder of the Sword Alliance to participate in the year-end festival with Lin Bai.
Otherwise, Lu Yuan's arm would not have been chopped off by Luo Qixing.
"I am sorry for Senior Brother Lu Yuan. If Senior Brother Lu Yuan wants to participate in the core warrior assessment, I will try my best to ensure his safety."
"Senior Brother Lu Yuan, it's up to me to protect you this time."
Lin Bai said lightly.
Ji Bei said: "Lu Yuan's current cultivation level is not bad. Although he lost his arm, he learned the hard way when he returned to Lingjian Sect and broke through two realms in a row, reaching the fifth level of Tianwu Realm."
"As for the other top ten, except for Cai Xuan, who is at the ninth level of the Tianwu Realm, most of the others are wandering between the sixth and seventh levels of the Tianwu Realm."
After hearing this, Lin Bai nodded.
Ji Bei said: "The core warrior assessment was originally an assessment of the nine core warriors of the Lingjian Sect."
"If they do not advance in cultivation and are caught up by the disciples behind them, then the disciples behind them will naturally take their place."
"So, it's going to be a tough battle."
Ji Bei smiled lightly.
"Are you confident? Lin Bai?" Ji Bei asked.
"Of course, I will definitely become a core warrior this year." Lin Bai said firmly, with determination in his eyes.
At noon.
Lin Bai returned to Lingjian Sect.
Today's Lingjian Sect is very lively. Basically, all the warriors who have traveled abroad have returned to Lingjian Sect.
There is no other reason than that the core warrior assessment will begin tomorrow. Regardless of whether they have participated in the core warrior assessment or not, they have to come back to watch the ceremony.
After all, this is the Lingjian Sect's annual event.
Very exciting.
When he came to the Sword Alliance, Ji Bei went to inquire about some information, and came back to tell Lin Bai, saying: "Lin Bai, I have confirmed that tomorrow will be the core warrior assessment. Then you can go directly to the Martial God Tower to gather."
Lin Bai nodded: "No problem."
Immediately, Lin Bai stood up and returned to Baiyun Peak.
Arrive at the palace of Emperor Ling.
"My disciple asks to see the master."
Lin Bai shouted softly outside the palace door.
"Come in." Ling Tianzi said with a smile.
Immediately, Lin Bai walked into the palace, Ling Tianzi smiled and said: "Lin Bai, you came back from this stall for the assessment of core warriors."
Lin Bai nodded and said: "Yes, tomorrow is the core warrior's assessment. The disciple is bound to become a core warrior and learn the true skills of the master."
Ling Tianzi smiled and said: "Then you have to work hard, be careful not to be targeted by Su Cang, he is a master at the mid-level of the divine elixir realm."
Lin Bai asked in surprise: "He made a breakthrough?"
Ling Tianzi smiled and said: "If I feel right, he should have just made a breakthrough last night."
When Lin Bai heard this, he felt even more stressed.
Lin Bai now believed that it was not too difficult to kill a warrior at the ninth level of the Tianwu realm, but he had never fought against a master at the half-step divine elixir realm, and he did not know the stakes involved.
Therefore, Lin Bai was unsure whether he could compete with a master who was in the half-step divine elixir realm.
In particular, this half-step master of the divine elixir realm has an expanded Dantian in his body and is not afraid of procrastinating with anyone. Therefore, it is basically impossible to win by procrastination.
Then there is only a tough battle left.
"Find an opportunity to try Su Cang's cultivation and see how strong the Half-step Divine Pill Realm is!"
Lin Bai thought like this in his heart.
Later, Lin Bai said to Ling Tianzi: "My disciple understands that I will go all out tomorrow. Even if I lose to Su Cang, I will definitely win the core warrior. Besides, if I really compete with Su Cang, I may not be able to do it."
Lost to him."
"As long as you have this confidence, go down and have a good rest. There will be a tough battle for you tomorrow." Ling Tianzi said calmly.
"yes."
"By the way, Master, has Third Senior Brother not come back yet?"
When Lin Bai retreated, he asked again.
Ling Tianzi took a deep breath and said: "He has some matters to deal with when he goes to Dayue Kingdom. He should be fine soon. He will be back soon. Things will soon surface."
