Chapter 139 Wang Bielin's slap in the face

On the vast sword field, the teaching elder brought the new disciples to an open space.

There were also several disciples wearing outer disciples' uniforms standing next to him, looking at them with either friendly, impatient or nervous expressions.

The coaching elder said: "You have practiced the basic sword techniques for a while. Now we will test your progress."

"Wang Bielin."

"exist."

Wang Bielin stood in front, and the teaching elder created a sword field with him as the center.

The pale golden light was not dazzling, and a senior sister walked in first.

The coaching elder said: "Compare yourself with this senior sister."

The wind stopped and the trees were still. The senior sister glanced at Wang Bielin. An iron sword flew into her hand and she stepped forward and saluted with a sword.

"Please advise."

Wang Bielin gripped the sword tightly in his hand and stepped forward to salute as usual.

"Please advise."

When the first grain of sand blew onto Lin Qingyue's face, Wang Bielin was also knocked down by his senior sister's sword.

Everyone hissed and the coaching elder waved his hands impatiently.

"Practice sword fighting! Have you practiced sword fighting to the point of hurting your stomach? Wang Bielin, you go down first...who is that?"

The teaching elder began to look around at the people around him, and happened to see Lin Qingyue, who was closest to him with his head lowered.

"It's you, Lin Qingyue, go up and try it."

Lin Qingyue: ...

Lin Qingyue took her sword and said, "Yes."

When she walked to the front, she happened to meet the defeated Wang Bielin. Wang Bielin glared at her unconvinced, and Lin Qingyue glared back.

Then Wang Bielin's tiny voice was heard: "Let's have a fight later."

The coaching elder glanced over and said, "No need to wait, just have a fight now."

Lin Qingyue's fists hardened.

The senior sister in the sword field jumped out in a flash to make room for them, and the iron sword flew onto the shelf, making a sound of metal collision.

The two men stood across from each other on the sword field and said, "Please give me some advice."

As if wanting to wash away the shame of being defeated by his senior sister with a sword, Wang Bielin rushed forward directly.

Lin Qingyue looked at his impatient movements and smiled. He directly attacked his lower body with his foot, and swept his sword at an unexpected angle.

Wang Bielin quickly changed his movements to avoid it, and wanted to attack again but unexpectedly Lin Qingyue kept pressing forward.

After three moves, Wang Bielin was defeated.

"puff……."

Someone in the crowd couldn't help laughing. Wang Bielin clenched his fists, silently picked up the iron sword and went down.

The senior sister from the previous match saw this and became interested. Just as she was about to go up, the coaching elder stopped her.

"Zi Han, wait a moment." The coaching elder looked at Tang Yongsi, who was getting impatient waiting, and said, "You come."

Tang Yongsi stood up and made a request.

"After I fight her, I'm leaving."

The coaching elder nodded: "Okay."

"You said it, remember to keep your promise." A flash of sword light passed by, and the young man appeared opposite Lin Qingyue, still greeting him as before.

As soon as the competition started, Tang Yongsi's aura changed from lazy to solemn.

Lin Qingyue raised his sword in a defensive position, and Tang Yongsi's gaze remained unchanged. In a moment, the iron sword was already above Lin Qingyue's head!

The swords collided, sending up a trail of sparks. Seeing that Lin Qingyue could still endure, Tang Yongsi glared fiercely and added two more layers of spiritual power.

A huge spiritual pressure came, and Lin Qingyue's fingertips turned slightly white. The hand holding up the sword was lowered little by little by Tang Yongsi.

The teaching elder explained to the new disciples outside.

"Your Senior Brother Tang Yongsi has already begun to develop sword intentions and successfully passed the Sword Pavilion training this year. He is currently only at the first level of Foundation Establishment, not much different from Lin Qingyue, but his swordsmanship is far superior to Lin Qingyue's."

"What I want to tell you is that when practicing swordsmanship, you can't just pursue speed. Instead, you must practice every sword move to perfection and unleash your full strength. You are not casual cultivators from outside. Your cultivation level is just a yardstick used by fools to measure you."

"Don't be complacent just because you have a high level of cultivation. If you end up being unable to defeat even a new disciple, that would be truly humiliating."

Bang! There was a loud bang of metal colliding, and Lin Qingyue used all his spiritual power on the sword to swing Tang Yongsi's sword away.

Tang Yongsi was surprised for a moment, and his attack became more fierce.

His speed became faster, and Lin Qingyue's speed also became faster. The two figures became faster and faster until afterimages appeared!

With a "bang", Lin Qingyue fell against the wall of the sword field.

Tang Yongsi breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on the hilt of the sword.

Not appropriate.

Even a new disciple shouldn't be so familiar with fighting, unless... she already had someone teaching her.

And his physique was too strong, which was different from others. It was not what a new disciple should have!

The coaching elder smiled when he saw him like this. "What? Are you feeling the pressure?"

"Junior sister is quite strong, we can compete more often in the future."

Tang Yongsi went down.

On the other side, Lin Qingyue got up with a sore back and heard the coaching elder calling her.

"Lin Qingyue, don't go down yet. Fight with your Senior Sister Bi Zihan."

Lin Qingyue: ...

Standing on the sword field again, Bi Zihan threw her a pill.

"Restoring Spirit Pill, to restore spiritual power."

"Thank you, senior sister."

Lin Qingyue thanked him and swallowed the pill in one gulp.

Bi Zihan: “Yeah.”

This senior sister was quite kind and gave Lin Qingyue some time to rest. They didn't start fighting until Lin Qingyue said it was time to start.

Within three moves, Lin Qingyue fell to the ground in dismay.

She suddenly understood Wang Bielin. It wasn't that he was weak! It was that this senior sister was really strong!

The people around sighed and suddenly realized the tragedy that was about to happen.

"Does everyone have to fight Senior Sister?"

The coaching elder scolded him: "What a joke! Do you think you can beat the other brothers and sisters?"

There were only five senior brothers and sisters brought by the teaching elder, and excluding Tang Yongsi who left, there were only four left.

Lin Qingyue noticed that Senior Sister Bi Zihan simply stood aside, waiting for the call from the head coach to come up and bully the weaker players. However, she was rarely called upon, as most of the players were crippled by the other three senior brothers and sisters.

As if noticing Lin Qingyue's gaze, Bi Zihan smiled at her.

The ice and snow melted, and Lin Qingyue forgot to blink.

A pink figure ran over from the side and enthusiastically asked Bi Zihan questions.

It’s Feng Yiqiu.

This was her first encounter with her in the Ziyang Sword Sect, amidst the gossip among the new disciples. Rumors about Feng Yiqiu and her sister's fiancé, Xiao Weiqian, were so rampant that one couldn't help but suspect someone was trying to discredit her, using extremely insulting language.

But from what Lin Qingyue could see now, the eldest daughter of the Feng family didn't seem to be affected by these things at all.

Bi Zihan focused on teaching Feng Yiqiu the problem, while Lin Qingyue began to observe Wen Lingyun's competition.

Dust-Breaking System: "You finally noticed the mission target. When will Wen Lingyun be able to comprehend his sword intent?"

Lin Qingyue focused on the small figure on the sword field. "How should I know? Sword intent is something that needs to be understood by oneself. All I can do is teach him more knowledge and the principles of conduct. The rest depends on his understanding and comprehension."

Dust-Breaking System: "You should become a Sword Saint and teach Wen Lingyun, so that he can avoid some detours."

Lin Qingyue: ???

"Do you think I don't want to become a sword master?"
