Chapter 1999: Chapter 1996: The Mentor Arrives!
Above Spirit Master Island, the Cloud Sky suddenly burst open, thunder rolled, and over a dozen rainbows flew noisily from the distant horizon, descending onto Spirit Master Island.
The rainbows landed and transformed into over a dozen men and women, who were still chatting and laughing among themselves. However, when they saw the thousands of new warriors on Spirit Master Island, their expressions suddenly turned serious.
These dozen or so people, without exception, all had cultivations of the Death Reversal Realm.
"The mentors have arrived."
The new warriors on Spirit Master Island eagerly looked up at these suddenly arriving dozen people.
Lin Bai also looked up at these warriors, both male and female, young and old, and at the forefront was Lan Feng!
Lan Feng was not here to be a mentor; he only came to host.
After Lan Feng and the other dozen strong ones landed, their gazes sharpened as they looked at all the warriors present.
"Dear new disciples."
"We meet again."
Lan Feng clasped his fists and saluted all the warriors present.
All the new warriors clasped their fists and said, "Greetings, Elders!"
Lin Bai was no exception, clasping his fists and speaking gently.
"Today’s gathering on Spirit Master Island signifies the official start of your cultivation at the South Campus of the East Continent Academy."
"Today, you will also follow one of the mentors to quickly get familiar with the Southern Yard!"
"These mentors are responsible for creating a cultivation plan tailored to your needs and for quickly finding suitable cultivation resources for you in the Southern Yard!"
Lan Feng said calmly.
"Inside the East Continent Academy, the Southern Yard has abundant cultivation resources."
"Among them, there are as many as 108,000 Heaven and Earth Realms!"
"And 30,000 Secret Realms!"
"..."
Lan Feng slowly introduced the more important cultivation resources in the Southern Yard to all the new warriors.
Lan Feng smiled and said, "Alright, these things will naturally be explained to you gradually once you follow a mentor!"
"Next, let the mentors introduce themselves."
Lan Feng looked at the dozen mentors beside him, lightly smiled, and said, "Who would like to start?"
"Then let me go first."
As soon as Lan Feng’s words fell, a handsome middle-aged man walked out with a smile and addressed all the warriors, speaking clearly:
"Dear new warriors, I am Su Ling, with a cultivation of the Death Reversal Realm at the first level, skilled in fist techniques, palm techniques, and spear techniques."
"If there are warriors specializing in fist and palm techniques, you can choose to follow me and cultivate."
"Of course, I don’t teach just any warrior. If you feel that you lack talent or are a waste, don’t bother me."
Su Ling said with a light smile, "Additionally, I have been a mentor for new disciples for over thirty years and have guided nearly two thousand warriors."
Su Ling said with a smile.
Upon hearing Su Ling’s introduction, many warriors specializing in palm and fist techniques were somewhat tempted at this moment.
However, Lin Bai didn’t show much interest since he was a sword cultivator.
Still, Lin Bai was curious if there were any mentors among them who were sword cultivators.
At this time, Su Ling added, "By the way, I heard that among the new warriors of the Southern Yard this year, there is a warrior named Lin Bai?"
"I wonder who that might be?"
When everyone heard the name Lin Bai, they all looked towards a corner of Spirit Master Island where a white-robed man stood.
This white-robed man was indeed Lin Bai.
Hearing the voice, Lin Bai quietly looked up at Su Ling, clasped his fists, and said, "I am Lin Bai, greetings to Mentor Su."
Su Ling examined Lin Bai for a moment, smiled, and said, "Good, Lin Bai, I have high hopes for you and wish for you to follow me."
As soon as Su Ling finished speaking, a mentor was displeased and snorted coldly, "Su Ling, do you think you’re the only one who values Lin Bai? Aren’t we also?"
"Lin Bai, I am Bei Haiyan, with similar cultivation to Su Ling, but unlike him, I’m a sword cultivator!"
"If you follow me in cultivation, I guarantee you will break through to the Life-and-Death Realm within a year!"
This middle-aged man, Bei Haiyan, came forward, directly ignoring the other warriors, and spoke to Lin Bai alone.
Su Ling’s face turned displeased at once.
"Indeed, Lin Bai, we also value you greatly."
"Follow me in cultivation."
At this time, the dozen strong ones all started speaking, all smiling brightly as they looked at Lin Bai.
Lin Bai hadn’t expected to be so welcomed on Spirit Master Island.
But thinking about it more deeply, it did make sense.
After all, Lin Bai’s performance on the Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain and the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands was too remarkable, firmly establishing that Lin Bai would rise in the Southern Yard in the future, potentially reaching even greater heights.
If any mentor here were to take Lin Bai under their wing, then later saying that Lin Bai once followed their tutelage would instantly boost their fame.
All the mentors present expressed clear favor towards Lin Bai.
This made the other new warriors a bit displeased, to the point that someone muttered, "Why is it Lin Bai again, really..."
"Do the new warriors in the Southern Yard all have to look like trash besides him? Our potential isn’t that much worse."
"Keep calm, man. After all, he’s a Tianjiao from Nine Heavens Primordial Ancestor Mountain, the only genius to pass through the Flying Dragon Twelve Islands, so naturally, he deserves attention."
Many new warriors commented with a mix of amusement and frustration.
Lin Bai also frowned slightly, feeling it difficult to make a choice with so many mentors valuing him.
Lin Bai wanted to choose a strong sword cultivator mentor to help quickly advance his sword skills and cultivation.
Lan Feng lightly chuckled, "Junior Brother Lin Bai, it seems you are highly valued. So, I wonder which mentor you will choose to follow for cultivation?"
"If Junior Brother Lin Bai finds it hard to decide for a moment, I, your brother, can offer you a little suggestion."
Lin Bai felt a headache, but upon hearing Lan Feng’s words, he smiled, "In that case, many thanks, Senior Brother Lan Feng."
Lan Feng smiled, looked at the dozen mentors beside him, and said lightly, "If Junior Brother Lin Bai wants to break through the Martial Realm, following Mentor Su Ling would be better."
"If Junior Brother Lin Bai wants to advance in sword skill mastery, choosing Mentor Bei Haiyan would be better."
"As for the others, Junior Brother Lin Bai doesn’t need to consider them."
Lan Feng advised Lin Bai in this way.
The other mentors were somewhat displeased upon hearing Lan Feng’s words, but since Lan Feng was of the Lan Clan, they didn’t dare show their dissatisfaction!
While Su Ling and Bei Haiyan were recommended by Lan Feng, their faces naturally showed a bit of joy.
Regardless of Lin Bai’s choice, it was likely to be between the two of them, giving them a 50% chance, at least.
After hearing Lan Feng’s advice, Lin Bai pondered for a while and clasped his fists, saying, "In that case, I will choose..."
Just as Lin Bai was about to make a choice, suddenly a sound of something breaking through the air came from the distant Cloud Sky...
Accompanying this sound were some impatient words, "Damn it, haven’t been to Spirit Master Island in years, and can’t even find the way..."
