Pursue to Sword Summit

Chapter 170 - Jumping Competition

This kind of attitude made Lin Mo and the others feel overwhelmed, especially when they saw that each and every one of them were extremely strong, any random elder who came out would have the greatest Xuan Level, and this was the lowest one, even warriors were Innates.

Great Elder Li Feilong was standing beside Sun Tianfang. After Lin Mo and the others entered, he immediately said to Sun Tianfang: "Sect Master, please look, this young disciple is Lin Mo."

Sun Tianfang looked over to see a fifteen to sixteen year old disciple walking over with the princess. Although his footsteps were fast, he did not panic at all, and the people behind him formed a clear contrast. Just by this, Sun Tianfang could see that Lin Mo was someone who did not panic.

The more powerful one was, the more one would pay attention to such details. That was because it represented a person's overall strength and not just a single aspect. Only such a person would be able to become a person with great talent.

"Hmm, not bad. He seems to be a good sapling. I wonder what his talent is?" Sun Tianfang also nodded.

Li Feilong immediately laughed: "Sect Master will know in a while. I will go down to meet them first."

Zong Zhusuntianfang nodded, Li Feilong walked down and walked towards Lin Mo, and when they met, Li Feilong said to Lin Mo: "Up there is our Sect Leader."

At this time, the princess had already ran to Sun Tianfang's side. She was Sun Tianfang's most beloved disciple, and since she was also a princess, it was natural for her status to be different.

Third Elder Lao Yuewu had also seen a bit of the world, so he quickly pulled Lin Mo and the others to kneel down as well. Lin Mo knelt down on one knee, and the Third Elder said: "Immortal Sword Sect Lao Yuewu and his disciples greet the Lord Sect Master."

Sun Tianfang's reputation far surpassed the King's, so there was nothing inappropriate with them bowing to him like that. Sun Tianfang could only say: "All of you, stand up."

Lin Mo and the rest stood up, then Sun Tianfang asked: "Which one of you is Lin Mo?"

Lin Mo walked up and said: "Disciple is indeed Lin Mo."

Sun Tianfang said again: "Come forward, I want to see you."

Lin Mo didn't know why Sun Tianfang wanted to do this, but he had no way to refuse. He slowly walked to the front of the throne, just ten metres away from Sun Tianfang.

Sun Tianfang looked at Lin Mo carefully. He was born with a delicate and pretty face, and could be considered a talented person from the outside. Sun Tianfang nodded in satisfaction, for this so-called person who was born from the heart, with a beautiful appearance, naturally would not be inferior to him. On the other hand, if his heart was wretched, then his appearance would definitely not be any better.

Sun Tianfang was more concerned with these than just these, he wanted to see Lin Mo's strength, he had just broken through the nourishing qi, and that strength was a little too weak. It was just that he had a very strong aura on his body, which was not something that could be released after breaking into the Qi Cultivating Stage.

As strong as Sun Tianfang, he was naturally able to tell that Lin Mo's aura was unusual with a single glance. This proved that with Great Elder Li Feilong's words, Lin Mo's strength and talent was extraordinary, but Sun Tianfang still wanted to personally experience it.

At this time, Princess Ming Yi hurriedly said: "Master, this is a genius that I have discovered, I guarantee that Master will definitely like it a lot."

Sun Tianfang chuckled: "Naturally, the person Ming Yi has set her eyes on is not bad. I think that Lin Mo is indeed a talented person."

However, Ming Yi said unhappily: "If it was a talent, why would I care? There are many talents in the Lingyun Sect, and many of them are already on the streets. The guy I found could be said to be an absolute genius that only appears once in a thousand years, he is many times stronger than these so-called geniuses in the past."

The Princess's praise of Lin Mo made Lin Mo feel a little embarrassed. He thought that he did indeed have some ability, but it was not enough for the Princess to call him a genius that only appears once every thousand years.

Sun Tianfang laughed: "Whether it is as you say or not, we will know in a while. Master will see clearly, don't talk for now, I will have a talk with Lin Mo."

Ming Yi didn't say anything, and instead winked at Lin Mo. Sun Tianfang naturally saw the expression on her face, and in his heart, he more or less guessed what Ming Yi meant to Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, you are this year's first place Peppermint, I heard that you are unrivalled in the younger generation, and defeated last year's first place in one move, is that right?" Sun Tianfang asked.

Lin Mo could only answer truthfully: "Disciple was just lucky, I wasn't that amazing."

Sun Tianfang laughed: "You are still considered modest, but since you have that kind of strength, then let me ask you, what our Lingyun Sect needs is a genius. Just now, the Great Clan Elder and Ming Yi both said that you are an extreme genius, and until now, I do not doubt their words. You are indeed different from ordinary geniuses, I do not know if you are willing to display your true strength in front of this old man?"

Lin Mo was secretly surprised, the sect master wanted to show his power, how could he do so? Could it be that he wanted to demonstrate it himself?

Just as Lin Mo was at a loss as to what to do, Zong Zhusuntianfang immediately smiled and said: "I'll have one of my Lingyun Sect's disciples compete with you, how about it?"

Actually, he also wanted to understand the strength of the young disciples of the Lingyun Sect. After all, his opponents from before were all opponents other than the Lingyun Sect, and could not be considered as the strongest. Only by fighting with the young disciples of the Lingyun Sect would he know how strong he was.

Lin Mo straightforwardly answered: "Alright, then disciple will be making a fool of himself."

Seeing that Lin Mo had agreed so readily, Sun Tianfang was also very happy. He quickly said to the people below: "Which disciple among you Inner Elder is willing to compete with Lin Mo?"

Sun Tianfang was talking about the Inner Elder, so of course it was the competition between the inner sect disciples and Lin Mo. This kind of competition was also reasonable, because normally, the first place candidate in the Peppermint would directly enter the inner sect, allowing the inner sect disciples to compete with Lin Mo without any objections.

Of course Lin Mo would not oppose it, he did not want to be so arrogant right from the start either. Furthermore, he did not know how strong the inner sect disciples of Lingyun Sect were, so he naturally had to compete with them.

Below the stage, a yellow-robed elder stepped forward and said: "This old one requests Sect Master to allow disciple Qiao Fei to compete with this disciple."

Sun Tianfang looked at the yellow-robed elder, and nodded his head in satisfaction, saying: "Then let Qiao Fei and Lin Mo compete."

His strength was only half a step away from having a spirit channel, and his disciples were naturally those who were ranked in the top few in terms of strength amongst the inner sect disciples, especially this Qiao Fei. He was the proud disciple of the yellow-robed elder, and his strength was also ranked in the top five of the inner sect disciples.

To let a disciple who was ranked in the top five of the inner sect compete with Lin Mo, would definitely be a little extreme in comparison. After all, Lin Mo had not even entered the inner sect yet, so even though he was the first in the Peppermint, he was usually only ranked in the middle among the inner sect disciples.

Right now, letting a top five inner disciple fight with Lin Mo was already a little excessive, but Sun Tianfang had his own thoughts. Didn't the Great Clan Elder say that Lin Mo was an exceptional genius? It could even be said that it was the Lingyun Sect's hope for the future. Since this was the case, he should be able to accept Qiao Fei's challenge.

Lin Mo could be said to be unrivalled in the world outside, but in Lingyun Sect, no one knew how strong they were, so there was nothing Third Elder and Qin Xinyin could do. Since they were in Lingyun Sect, and Lin Mo had already agreed, they could only watch on helplessly.

Sun Tianfang said to Lin Mo: "I am Elder Qin's disciple, would you be willing to compete with me?"

Lin Mo did not directly answer, he only asked: "I wonder what this Elder Qin's inner disciple rank is?"

Lin Mo's words also caused Sun Tianfang to be a little surprised. He did not know what Lin Mo meant by that, but was afraid in his heart. Worried that Qiao Fei was too strong?

Sun Tianfang asked: "Lin Mo, are you worried that Qiao Fei's strength is too strong? If that's the case, I can make the weaker disciples compete with you."

However, Lin Mo shook his head and said: "Sect Master, that is not what I meant. I just want to know if Qiao Fei is very strong or not.

Lin Mo looked gentle and weak, and also somewhat elegant, yet his words were extremely tyrannical. He was worried that his opponent was not strong enough, because of the feeling of looking down on Lingyun Sect.

On the contrary, he hoped that Lin Mo would think like this, because only by thinking like this could he prove that the Great Clan Elder was right. He was indeed an absolute genius, if he was to let an ordinary disciple compete with him, it would truly be a waste of time.

Sun Tianfang immediately laughed: "I still have a bit of understanding towards this Qiao Fei. He is ranked fifth among the inner sect disciples, and this year he has a high chance of joining the Elite Academy and becoming a core disciple. I think he has the strength to fight you."

Hearing that Qiao Fei was not weak, Lin Mo was relieved, and said: "Alright, I am willing to compete with him."

Sun Tianfang was very happy and he said to the yellow-robed elder: "Have your disciple come up and fight with Lin Mo. If he wins, let him directly enter the elite academy and become a core disciple.

Sun Tianfang could be considered a cunning old fox, his words were all to motivate Qiao Fei, to let him go all out, as long as he defeated Lin Mo, he would be qualified to enter the elite academy, this was a huge temptation for an inner disciple.

He had originally thought that Lin Mo was just a fool, that he might just be lucky enough to get the number one spot in the Peppermint. Now, he could actually compete with with his own hands, and the Sect Leader had even personally said that as long as he could defeat Lin Mo, he could enter the Elite Academy.

If he were to take the initiative and fight, then this kind of opportunity would be theirs. Everyone looked at Qiao Fei with envious eyes, and felt that this time, he would definitely be able to enter the elite academy, as Lin Mo was definitely not his match.

Even Zong Zhusuntianfang was a little suspicious of Lin Mo's strength. Even though he could feel a very strong aura coming from Lin Mo's body, but his cultivation was still there, just breaking through the nourishing qi. As for Qiao Fei, he was already at the peak of the Qi Cultivating Stage, ready to break through to the Innate Realm at any time.

Because of the great disparity in strength, they did not even need to fight to know the result. It was just that with Lin Mo present today, it was very unusual.

Qiao Fei walked forward, and Lin Mo returned to the center. This Qiao Fei was tall and sturdy, looking at him, Lin Mo believed that he was not training in some lightweight sword technique, but in some tyrannical fist or blade technique.

Qiao Fei looked at Lin Mo, who was much thinner than him, and said with great disdain: "Lin Mo, I heard the conversation between you and the sect master just now. You are really arrogant, to actually dare to say such words in front of the sect master.
