The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2914 - 2889: The Gap Is Too Wide!

Long Beibei was taken away by Long Huihuang, this battle naturally indicating Dou Nianhua’s victory.

Lin Bai curiously asked, "What did those things Dou Nianhua said earlier mean?"

Zhao Yue whispered, "Now, the Qinglong Clan Leader has only one daughter, which is Long Beibei, but you also see, Long Beibei’s talent and temperament are fundamentally unable to bear the flag of the Qinglong Clan!"

"In this Martial Art world of ours, warriors are born with the day and die with the sunset, so determining the next successor of the Qinglong Tribe is a very important thing!"

"For example, the Crown Prince of the Great Witch Dynasty, the Saint from the East Continent Academy, and the Sword Child from the Sword God Family are basically similar to successors. Once the family faces a major issue, these successors will directly take control of the family!"

"And the Qinglong Tribe is the same!"

"Unfortunately, Long Beibei’s performance over the years seems not to have been recognized by the Qinglong Tribe, coupled with the presence of Long Yu within the tribe, everyone believes that Long Yu is more suitable to become the young clan leader of the Qinglong Tribe!"

"Under the coercion and temptation from the high-level Qinglong Tribe, Long Huihuang can only agree to give Long Yu an opportunity!"

Zhao Yue whispered.

"Thus, a battle for the young clan leader position arose!"

"It is said to have been decided from last year, Long Huihuang gave Long Beibei a year of cultivation time, and after a year, if time is correct now, it should be about three months later, Long Beibei will be battling Long Yu!"

"If victorious in this battle, Long Beibei will remain the first in line as successor for the Qinglong Tribe!"

"But if Long Beibei loses, then Long Yu will become the first in line as successor!"

Zhao Yue said blandly.

"I see, she said she will defeat a very formidable person soon, does she mean Long Yu?" Lin Bai murmured to himself.

Long Huihuang left with Long Beibei.

The Grand Elder, Dragon Hawk smiled, "Alright, let’s proceed with the next martial arts competition!"

The Elder presiding over the martial arts competition shouted, "The next match features native tribe member Long Yu against foreign tribe member Miao Zhi!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the elegant young master Long Yu leapt directly into the field.

Followed by the entrance of the foreign tribe member, Miao Zhi.

"Big Brother Long Yu is here!"

"Although Big Brother Long Yu’s Martial Soul is not high, his skills are remarkable!"

"Yes, Big Brother Long Yu is the one fit to command our Qinglong Tribe!"

Looking at Long Yu, all the warriors within the Qinglong Tribe, both foreign and native, seem to agree and constantly praise him.

Long Yu landed in the field, shortly afterward a robust Da Han approached to face him, clasping his fists and smiling, "Long Yu, my younger cousin, long time no see!"

Long Yu smiled calmly, "Miao Zhi, my elder cousin, last year I was defeated by you, this year I will wash away that shame!"

Miao Zhi laughed heartily, "Haha, then let’s see!"

Miao Zhi, even among the foreign tribes, carries quite a reputation, especially as he is nearing thirty years old, and his cultivation is at the Second Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, much stronger than Long Yu.

"Miao Zhi is a strong one at the Second Level of the Life-and-Death Realm, superior to Long Yu by a realm! I wonder if Long Yu will be his match?"

"I think it’s tough, a realm’s difference isn’t easy to bridge!"

The surrounding martial artists held their breath, watching the duel in the field intently.

Immediately, as soon as both sides were settled, Long Yu first stepped forward, transforming into a waning shadow rushing towards Miao Zhi.

Miao Zhi, however, just smiled slightly, and met the attack.

They exchanged blows in the field, each move intense.

Lin Bai, standing in midair, watching the fierce battle unfold, couldn’t help but frown.

Then, after three hundred moves, Long Yu suddenly struck Miao Zhi’s chest with a palm. Although Miao Zhi rapidly retreated, at that moment, a sharp sword flew from Long Yu’s long sleeves, landing in his hand, the tip suddenly appeared at Miao Zhi’s throat.

"I... I lost!"

Miao Zhi exclaimed in shock.

Long Yu smiled slightly, returning the longsword back to his sleeve, clasping his fists and smiling, "Thanks for letting me win!"

"Wow, Long Yu is amazing, he defeated even a Second-Level Life-and-Death Realm warrior!"

"Yes, I couldn’t even understand what happened, and Miao Zhi lost!"

"Ah, Long Yu, undeniably the first among our Qinglong Tribe!"

Many warriors exclaimed in wonder.

Zhao Yue, seeing Long Yu’s victory, asked with a slight smile, "What do you think?"

Lin Bai chuckled softly, "He turned out to be a Sword Cultivator! But compared to other young martial artists he dueled with, he’s relatively exceptional; he knows how to restrain his sharpness!"

"If it weren’t for him taking out the longsword from his sleeve at the last moment, no one would’ve known he was a Sword Cultivator!"

"In terms of temperament, intellect, cultivation, and cunning, he does surpass other Qinglong Clan’s martial artists!"

Lin Bai nodded lightly and said.

Zhao Yue chuckled softly, "Seems like you’re quite optimistic about Long Yu’s performance!"

Lin Bai smiled, "I didn’t say I had hope for him, based on the abilities he exhibited now, barely meeting the genius level, but on the East Continent, nearly all Quasi-Saints of the East Continent Academy do better than him!"

"So, I still think he’s average."

Lin Bai shook his head, appearing uninterested.

Although the Qinglong Tribe is one of the seventy-two major tribes on the Southern Continent, in front of the colossus like the East Continent Academy, it still doesn’t count for much.

Though Long Yu demonstrated ability barely reaching genius level, any Quasi-Saint from the East Continent Academy could easily defeat Long Yu!

The gap is really too great.

"But even so, it seems unlikely that Long Beibei would defeat Long Yu in three months." Lin Bai also noticed that Long Yu, though lacking, is still stronger than Long Beibei!

Just as the high-level Qinglong Clan said, Long Beibei’s temperament and talent aren’t suitable for a leader, let alone the Tribe Leader of the Qinglong Tribe.

As for Long Yu, he seems to be more suitable than Long Beibei.

"Let’s go, the martial arts competition is over." Zhao Yue said to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai silently nodded and returned to their residence with Lin Ye.

On returning to the residence, at night, there was no further conversation, and the next day at dawn, Zhao Yue left the residence again, destination unknown.

Lin Bai stood in the courtyard, holding his finely carved wooden sword, holding his breath and focusing, although he didn’t have spiritual power, the sword intention emanating from the sharp sword in his hand was exceedingly impressive.

At this moment, a commotion arose from the wall.

Lin Bai turned to look and saw a young girl climb over the wall into the courtyard, standing in the corner, her entire body bruised, and bandaged wounds still bleeding.

Lin Bai put away the wooden sword, looking at her calmly.

The young girl stood in the corner, her head down, seemingly crying, her entire body trembling.

"You said the person you’ll defeat soon, is it Long Yu?" Lin Bai asked after a moment’s silence.

The girl kept her head down, not daring to look directly at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai shook his head and said, "Give up, you’re no match for him!"

Upon hearing Lin Bai’s words, the girl raised her head, her face full of tears and scars, angrily looking at Lin Bai, stubbornly yelling at him, "I will definitely defeat him!"
