"But I was the first once!"
Bai Yetian stated directly, "Now, I've been surpassed by newcomers, which makes me feel a bit helpless."
"Since it's come to this, all we can do is cultivate harder," Bi Qing said with a wry smile. "One day, we will be able to regain our glory."
"In front of them, I'm afraid there won't be that chance!" Bai Yetian shook his head. "They are all very strong, outrageously strong, and I can't compare to them at all!"
Bi Qing was speechless, not knowing how to comfort him. As Bai Yetian said, neither Lu Fan nor Lin Jiutian were ordinary people. The paths they would take in the future were also not comparable to ordinary people.
After a few days, Lu Fan suddenly woke up from his sleep, but he felt sore all over, as if he had been beaten.
"You're finally awake, I thought you were going to sleep forever!" Shen Yehong said.
"How long have I slept?"
Lu Fan asked in astonishment, he himself couldn't remember how long he had been unconscious.
"At least three days!" Shen Yehong rolled his eyes. "But I really didn't expect you to be so powerful. Now, you can probably defeat a Saint without any external aid!"
"So, who won and who lost in that battle?" Lu Fan asked curiously.
"A draw, you both fell unconscious!"
Shen Yehong shrugged, but he woke up earlier than you. If that's the case, then he should be more powerful than you.
Lu Fan sighed, feeling even more helpless. In the last battle, he had used all his strength and still couldn't defeat Lin Jiutian. This was enough to prove that with his current strength, it was still difficult to defeat Lin Jiutian.
"But don't worry, he has already left!"
Shen Yehong smiled, "From now on, in the entire Eastern Courtyard, you should be the number one person. No one can take your place."
"Why did he leave?" Lu Fan was a little surprised.
"He said that within Tongtian Academy, only you could make him take you seriously. As for others, he didn't even spare them a glance. Moreover, he vowed that if there comes a day, he would have another battle with you!" Shen Yehong stated directly.
"As expected, he is an arrogant person and never admits defeat."
Lu Fan nodded, "I wonder if I'll have the chance to meet him again!"
"You will. You are both so outstanding, you will definitely meet again, and you will be mortal enemies!" Shen Yehong said directly.
"You say that so casually!"
Lu Fan rolled his eyes, but he still had some reservations about Lin Jiutian.
More importantly, at such a young age to possess such cultivation, he probably has a great power behind him, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate such a formidable expert.
"You should hurry and recover from your injuries!"
Shen Yehong urged, "The assessment for entering the Western Courtyard is coming soon. Once you enter the Western Courtyard, you will likely have many rivals. After all, your battle with Lin Jiutian has made many senior students in the Western Courtyard hostile towards you, and they even want to challenge you!"
"Let them be!" Lu Fan said with a wry smile, "As long as my conscience is clear, nothing else matters!"
"You might not care, but they won't let it go."
Shen Yehong stated directly, "You should rest well and wait for the Western Courtyard assessment to enter the Western Courtyard!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, but he didn't pay much attention. In fact, entering the Western Courtyard was no longer that important to him.
Only now did he understand that becoming a Saint depended not on a place, but on one's own悟道 (wudao - comprehension of the Dao). Reaching the Saint realm requires insight, and insight into the Dao.
Meanwhile, in a courtyard in the Eastern Courtyard, Bai Yetian was in closed-door cultivation. A figure with a deep gaze intruded into the courtyard. After glancing at Bai Yetian, he said indifferently, "With your strength, entering the Western Courtyard is not difficult! You can't miss this opportunity!"
"So it's you!"
Bai Yetian opened his eyes, "Whether I enter the Western Courtyard or not has nothing to do with you, and you don't need to meddle in my affairs!"
"Don't forget, I am your elder brother, your eldest brother!"
Bai Yelong said coldly, "No matter what, you are a disciple of my Bai family. If you stay in the Eastern Courtyard like this, aren't you disgracing our Bai family!"
"Ridiculous! Where I choose to be is my right, what business is it of yours!"
Bai Yetian said coldly, his words carrying an air of hostility, as if this was something he was accustomed to.
"As a disciple of the Bai family, if you cannot stand out, won't you be a laughingstock!"
Bai Yelong said coldly, "Before, you were the number one person in the Eastern Courtyard, but now? You're not even the first person, it's simply a disgrace to our Bai family."
"I've said it before, my affairs have nothing to do with you!"
Bai Yetian said coldly, "You don't need to interfere in my affairs, and you are not welcome here!"
"My purpose for coming here is very simple!"
Bai Yelong stated directly, "Don't disgrace our Bai family, enter the Western Courtyard as soon as possible. If you still cannot break through to the Saint realm, you are not worthy to return to the Bai family!"
"I've already made myself clear, you don't need to interfere in my affairs!"
Bai Yetian said coldly, "As for whether I return to the Bai family, that's not something you can control!"
"Tsk tsk… a loser is ultimately a loser!"
Bai Yelong chuckled and turned to leave the courtyard, his words utterly impolite. In his eyes, no matter how hard Bai Yetian tried, he was an indelible stain on the Bai family.
In reality, Bai Yetian was already very outstanding, but he was always suppressed by Bai Yelong, unable to even catch his breath.
The day of the Western Courtyard assessment arrived quickly. The Ninth Elder of the Western Courtyard was already waiting at the Tongtian Platform. His gaze swept over the many disciples of the Eastern Courtyard, his aura more powerful than that of the elders of the Eastern Courtyard.
"Today is the day for the assessment to enter the Western Courtyard. Those of you who wish to enter the Western Courtyard must pass the Heaven's Dao Stone test. Only then will you have the qualification to enter the Western Courtyard!" The Ninth Elder reminded them.
This Heaven's Dao Stone is connected to the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and is a great treasure of Tongtian Academy. As long as spiritual power is injected into the Heaven's Dao Stone, it can detect who has the opportunity to become a Saint.
The last time, Bai Yetian was blocked here. But this time, he would go all out. As a descendant of the Bai family, he couldn't possibly have no chance to become a Saint.
Lu Fan and others were also eager. They had never experienced such a Heaven's Dao Stone test before, so they were naturally very curious. Su Dan Novel Network.
At this moment, in the Eastern Courtyard, many men were quite nervous. They were all senior students of the Eastern Courtyard and had been tested by the Heaven's Dao Stone, but they had not passed. Therefore, they were also very worried. If they failed to pass the Heaven's Dao Stone test, they would also have no connection with the Western Courtyard, nor could they enter the Western Courtyard, and it would be impossible to become a Saint.
"Senior Brother, cheer up, you can do it!" Bi Qing encouraged.
