The Unparalleled Sword Emperor Chapter 2926 - 2901: Bitter Training

In the sinister Great Hall, around twenty or thirty people were gathered to discuss.

It wasn’t difficult to discern from their conversation.

Su Dingan, sent by the Sword Pavilion Clan to the Qinglong Clan, under the pretense of teaching Long Beibei, actually aimed to delay her cultivation.

In reality, although Su Dingan instructed Long Beibei many times, he never imparted real skills.

Su Dingan conveyed all his true abilities to Long Yu.

And Long Yu was Su Dingan’s true disciple!

After discussing for a long time, Dragon Hawk said grimly, "Alright, everyone, let’s stop here for today. In just a few days, Long Yu and Long Beibei will have their martial arts showdown!"

"Once the match concludes, and Long Yu prevails to become the junior Clan Leader, the humiliations we’ve suffered in the Qinglong Clan will be returned to Long Huihuang a hundred times over!"

"Therefore, in these few days, no matter how much indignity you endure, you must hold on tightly; we’ll make decisions after the martial arts competition!"

Dragon Hawk reminded solemnly.

The shadows of people in the surrounding darkness nodded in agreement.

Then, the shadows in the Great Hall began to leave one by one.

...

Zhao Yue was standing alone in the courtyard, sitting at a table, sipping tea sullenly.

At this moment, Lin Bai entered the courtyard again, accompanied by Long Beibei and Lin Ye.

Seeing Lin Bai return, Zhao Yue spoke without much cheer, "Hmph, you’ve been gone for over a month with not a word, I thought you all might have died out there!"

Looking at Lin Bai, Zhao Yue spoke with faint resentment.

Over a month ago, after Lin Bai took Long Beibei as his apprentice, they left the Qinglong Clan without telling Zhao Yue where they went.

He simply told Zhao Yue that before the competition with Long Yu, he would definitely bring Long Beibei back.

Long Beibei looked at Zhao Yue; though her face was somewhat weary and pale, she wore a cheerful smile. She said to Zhao Yue, "During this month, Master taught me a lot of skills!"

Lin Bai said, "Alright, Beibei, enough chatter, go rest well. In three days, it’s your match with Long Yu. I hope you won’t disappoint me!"

Long Beibei smiled, "Don’t worry, Master, I will definitely defeat Long Yu!"

"Then, Master, I’ll take my leave!"

"Farewell, Master!"

Long Beibei left Lin Bai’s courtyard joyfully.

Lin Bai prepared to return to his room to rest; teaching Long Beibei over the past month had indeed left him somewhat fatigued.

Zhao Yue asked, "I’m curious, what exactly did you teach her?"

Lin Bai smiled, "You’ll just have to wait and see!"

Zhao Yue questioned, "Are you planning to use her to enter the Dragon Pool?"

Lin Bai replied expressionlessly, "If I only wanted to use her to enter the Dragon Pool, I wouldn’t have taken her as a disciple!"

With that, Lin Bai turned and went back into his room.

...

Time flew as three days passed!

On the dawn of the third day.

Lin Bai rose early since Long Beibei had informed him yesterday that today was her competition day with Long Yu, and she asked Lin Bai to watch at Kongtian Peak!

This day, Lin Bai was not idle. He got up early and took Lin Ye and Zhao Yue to the summit of Kongtian Peak.

Lin Bai and his companions arrived rather late; the peak of Kongtian was already filled with warriors. It took a while for them to find an empty spot.

Zhao Yue looked around and commented, "It seems this battle is highly anticipated; almost all of the Qinglong Clan’s upper echelon are here!"

Lin Bai looked up; at the top of Kongtian Peak, Long Huihuang, Long Xian, Dragon Hawk, and other senior elders of the Qinglong Clan attended, anticipating the onset of the battle.

Lin Bai said, "Of course, this fight determines the future ruler of the Qinglong Clan, naturally making it the bout most watched by the upper echelon!"

Zhao Yue asked with a smile, "So, are you confident? Can Long Beibei really defeat Long Yu?"

Lin Bai grinned softly, "Of course!"

Regarding Long Beibei, Lin Bai currently held full confidence.

Before the competition began, Long Huihuang’s face showed continuous unease as he awaited its onset, frequently glancing toward Lin Bai’s place.

In the past month, Lin Bai took Long Beibei out for cultivation; even Long Huihuang did not know what skills Lin Bai had taught her, so he remained uncertain.

Noticing Long Huihuang’s gaze, Lin Bai slightly raised his head and locked eyes with him, a confident smile flickering across his lips.

"I hope you won’t disappoint me!"

Seeing the smile on Lin Bai’s face, Long Huihuang took a deep breath and said.

Waiting for some time, Kongtian Peak filled with the Qinglong Tribe’s Martial Artists.

At that moment, Long Xian stepped forward, onto the mid-air above Kongtian Peak, and proclaimed, "Today, all the Qinglong Clan’s warriors gathered here, you should know the reason!"

"Indeed, today is the junior Clan Leader battle between Long Beibei and Long Yu!"

"Long Beibei, born from the main line of the Qinglong Clan; according to the clan’s rules, she should be the first in line for succession. Yet, because she is female and has been weak since childhood, she hasn’t been recognized by the Qinglong Tribe’s Martial Artists!"

"Conversely, many warriors recognize Long Yu!"

"Therefore, Clan Leader Long Huihuang specifically set up this competition for Long Yu to battle Long Beibei!"

"The winner will become the junior Clan Leader of the Qinglong Clan and future ruler!"

"This battle seals the tongues of doubters!"

Long Xian’s expression was also heavy; Long Beibei was his niece, and he watched her grow up and held her dearly.

If not for Dragon Hawk and the top Qinglong Tribe’s warriors forcing Long Huihuang into a corner, he wouldn’t have agreed to such a match.

Long Xian said, "Since everyone understands the importance of today’s fight, I’ll spare the pleasantries. Now, let’s have Long Yu and Long Beibei enter the arena!"

"Let the competition begin!"

Long Xian announced.

As soon as the words left his mouth, a man and woman emerged from the passageway at the base of Kongtian Peak.

The man was none other than Long Yu.

The woman was Long Beibei.

"They’re here!"

"It’s starting!"

"This fight will determine the Qinglong Clan’s direction for the next half-year!"

"Aside from her noble birth, what else does Long Beibei have over Long Yu?"

"Go Long Yu, defeat Long Beibei!"

"Long Yu, you will win!"

Seeing Long Yu and Long Beibei emerge, the entire crowd of warriors erupted with enthusiasm.

Yet, Lin Bai observed that the cheers around him nearly all encouraged Long Yu.

Hardly anyone was cheering for Long Beibei!

It seemed that the Qinglong Clan warriors held little faith in Long Beibei!
