Long Xian's intervention prevents Elder Meng from harming Lin Bai, though Long Xian himself is unaware of the near-fatal danger. He meets with his niece, Long Beibei, who is eager to learn sword skills from Lin Bai, her new master. Long Xian, sensing no spiritual power from Lin Bai, dismisses him as a mortal but is intrigued by his calm demeanor. Despite his reservations about Lin Bai's lack of cultivation, Long Xian offers protection if Lin Bai faces further trouble. Long Beibei insists on learning from Lin Bai, revealing her need to defeat a Master Yu, a goal her family compels her to pursue.

Long Xian and Long Beibei had just left when another shadow appeared at the door. This person was dressed in white with white hair, and upon seeing the disordered doorway and the scattered wood chips, she frowned and asked with a trace of curiosity, "What happened here?"

Lin Bai looked up and replied quietly, "Nothing, just a few rats came around, I asked Lin Ye to clean up."

"Oh." Zhao Yue nodded slightly upon hearing this.

Lin Bai asked, "You go out early and come back late every day, what exactly are you up to?"

Zhao Yue said, "Trying to enter the Dragon Pool is no simple task!"

Lin Bai asked, "So, do you have a solution now?"

Zhao Yue chuckled lightly: "Almost there, get some rest. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to watch the show. They say there’s going to be a sparring session between the young martial artists of the foreign and native tribes within the Qinglong tribe!"

After casually saying a sentence, Zhao Yue returned to her room.

Lin Bai nodded, and promptly continued carving the wooden door until late at night. After setting the door back in place, Lin Bai coldly said, "If anyone dares to smash my door again, I’ll kill even the Heavenly King!"

...

Without a word through the night, the next morning Zhao Yue woke Lin Bai and Lin Ye, and the three of them left the residence together.

Arriving within the Qinglong tribe, Lin Bai walked onto the street and saw that the martial artists on both sides seemed to be in high spirits, as if preparing for some grand event.

Zhao Yue spoke softly: "Within the Qinglong tribe, there’s a distinction between native and foreign tribe members!"

"Native tribe members refer to the direct lineage of the Qinglong tribe."

"Foreign tribe members refer to martial artists who have joined the Qinglong tribe, or martial artists who have joined after the Qinglong tribe’s women married out. They are all considered foreign tribe members!"

"According to the family traditions in the East Continent, this is like main lineage disciples and branch lineage disciples!"

Zhao Yue gently explained.

Lin Bai came to a sudden realization and nodded.

Zhao Yue said: "Today’s martial arts competition is the annual sparring session of young martial artists within the Qinglong tribe. It serves as an evaluation for the native and foreign tribe’s youthful warriors!"

"It is considered a big event within the Qinglong tribe."

Lin Bai followed Zhao Yue, walking through the architectural complexes within the Qinglong tribe, observing countless martial artists moving towards a mountain peak.

When Lin Bai and Zhao Yue reached the mountain peak, they saw its interior was hollowed out into a massive natural fighting arena.

Walking up the mountain peak, along the ancient path, Lin Bai and Zhao Yue arrived at the end of a passageway and entered into the passageway situated at the waist of the mountain.

At this moment, Lin Bai looked down to see the mountain’s interior was hollow, forming a huge cavity.

Now Lin Bai and Zhao Yue were standing midway up the mountain, looking down at the scene inside the mountain.

"This mountain peak is called Kongtian Peak!"

"As the name suggests, the inside of this mountain is hollowed out, becoming something akin to a fighting arena!"

"All spectators stand on the stone walls on both sides of this melting cave, witnessing the entire great battle!"

"Look at the top, those are the high-ranking figures of the Qinglong tribe!"

"The person leading is the clan leader of Qinglong tribe Long Huihuang, and the Grand Elder Long Ying!"

Zhao Yue said lightly.

Upon hearing Zhao Yue’s voice, Lin Bai looked up and saw a middle-aged man and an old man standing together at the top of Kongtian Peak. Beside them, Lin Bai also noticed many other young men and women.

The middle-aged man had a stern expression and exuded an aura of authority. It was easy for Lin Bai to conclude that this was the Qinglong tribe’s clan leader, Long Huihuang!

And the old man next to him was Grand Elder Long Ying.

Regarding Long Huihuang and Long Ying, Lin Bai indeed didn’t have much impression, but he noticed a young girl standing next to Long Huihuang.

This young girl was someone Lin Bai knew.

This person, unmistakably, was Long Beibei!

And beside Long Beibei stood Long Xian, who Lin Bai had briefly seen last night.

Zhao Yue whispered: "The young girl standing beside Long Huihuang is his only daughter, named Long Beibei, also the sole heir to become the future clan leader of Qinglong tribe!"

"Do you see the young man beside Grand Elder Long Ying? This person is the Grand Elder’s son, named Long Yu!"

Zhao Yue spoke softly.

Lin Bai looked and indeed saw a handsome young man with a jade-like face beside Grand Elder Long Ying, his face carrying an easygoing smile, observing the martial artists on both sides.

"Master Yu?" Lin Bai called out unexpectedly.

Zhao Yue laughed: "How do you know his name?"

Lin Bai said: "Last night, those rats that sneaked into the house claimed to be Master Yu’s subordinates!"

Zhao Yue paused and said: "Then you should refrain from provoking them, Long Yu’s status within the Qinglong tribe is akin to the Crown Prince of the Great Witch Dynasty!"

"He has currently cultivated to the First Level of the Life-and-Death Realm!"

"His natural talent is outstanding!"

"Moreover, he’s just nineteen this year!"

"Can truly be considered as having a promising future!"

Zhao Yue spoke softly.

Lin Bai shook his head and said: "Heh, just an ordinary character!"

Zhao Yue laughed: "Haha, right, I almost forgot, you were once the Saint of the East Continent Academy, you’ve seen more geniuses than you’ve eaten meals!"

"Although Long Yu of the Qinglong tribe is considered an exceptional genius here, he probably wouldn’t rank in the East Continent Academy full of talents!"

Lin Bai nodded: "The East Continent Academy gathers the geniuses from the East Continent, naturally incomparable to just this small tribe!"

Zhao Yue whispered: "But there’s one thing you should be aware of, Long Yu’s Martial Soul is merely of the Mysterious Grade level!"

Lin Bai frowned as he looked at Zhao Yue.

Zhao Yue smiled: "Surprised? Now hailed as the Number One Genius of the Qinglong tribe, Long Yu’s Martial Soul is merely a Mysterious Level Nine!"

"Imagine, the effort a Mysterious Level Nine Martial Soul warrior must put forth to become Qinglong tribe’s number one genius!"

"Therefore, this person is not as simple as you might think!"

Lin Bai looked at Long Yu with interest and said: "Indeed, advancing to the First Level of the Life-and-Death Realm with a Mysterious Grade Martial Soul is certainly not easy!"

As Lin Bai and Zhao Yue were chatting together.

At this time, Long Huihuang, the clan leader of Qinglong tribe, boldly said: "Everyone, today marks the annual martial arts competition between the native and foreign disciples of Qinglong tribe!"

"This competition is purely for sparring, no assassins allowed!"

"Hosting this competition is not only a tradition of the Qinglong tribe but also a means to evaluate the results of our disciples’ cultivation over the past year. It serves as a form of assessment!"

"Alright then, without further ado, let today’s martial arts competition begin!"

Long Huihuang waved his hand, announcing the start of the martial arts competition.

Upon hearing these words, the martial artists standing on both sides of Kongtian Peak’s stone walls excitedly cheered.

"This match, native Long Jie versus foreign Cai Fei!" At once, an Elder stood in mid-air, took out a scroll from the Storage Bag that had been prepared in advance, and announced the first match of the competition!
