He returned to the Lin Family.
After Lin Yi settled Lin Ning down,
he immediately entered a state of cultivation.
He had now reached the Spirit Transformation Realm,
but Su Qingxue was already at the Third Level of the Spirit Transformation Realm.
In terms of cultivation, the gap between them was not small!
Although Lin Yi possessed the "Chaos Sword Body Technique", an Ancient Immortal Scripture and a supreme cultivation technique!
With only three days left, aiming to make another breakthrough was undoubtedly a great challenge!
His only option was to achieve a breakthrough in martial skills!
The sword technique he was currently practicing was called "Life-stealing Three Swords."
Together with the Meteor Sword in his hand, both were items left to him by his father, Lin Yaodong.
Although Lin Yi had never seen his cheap father since he was born,
he had to admit that the things left to him were indeed excellent!
The Meteor Sword was a Supreme Grade Spiritual Artifact, a divine weapon rare throughout Shi Country.
Although the "Life-stealing Three Swords" did not have a grade written on it, after reading through it, Lin Yi could determine that this sword skill was extraordinary!
Its strength lay in four words: the stronger the foe, the stronger it's met!
This meant that the power of this sword skill could continuously upgrade as Lin Yi's cultivation increased!
Such a marvelous sword technique was unheard of by Lin Yi!
Though the Lin Family was a prominent family in Qing City and had many generations of heritage, the highest level of martial skill within the family was merely Earth-level.
Yet, the City Lord's Mansion Su Family possessed a Heavenly Stage Sword Technique!
In the Green Ruins Realm, powerful martial skills were the closely guarded secrets of major powers, extremely precious!
With Su Qingxue's talent, it was likely she had already learned that Heavenly Stage Sword Technique of the Su Family.
"Heavenly Stage Martial Technique, looking across Qing City, it's probably an invincible existence..."
"I wonder how it compares to my Life-stealing Three Swords?"
A gleam suddenly flashed in Lin Yi's eyes.
The Life-stealing Three Swords comprised three moves: One Sword Kills, One Sword Soul Entrance, and One Sword Breaks All Techniques.
Each move was stronger than the last.
And each move was more difficult to master than the last.
The essence was to subdue the enemy with one sword, to take a life with one move!
If one couldn't take the enemy's life, then it would be their own life that was taken!
"Three more days, I will strive to master the first move during this time!"
Lin Yi's gaze fixed on the training dummy not far away, and he quickly drew his sword and walked up.
He stabbed at the training dummy with one sword following another!
He trained relentlessly like this!
...
Three days later.
The day of the seven-day challenge came in the blink of an eye.
Thanks to the vigorous promotion by the Su Family,
all the major families in Qing City had learned about the duel between the two.
And the big families like the Yun Family and the Bai Family were especially invited to attend as witnesses to the duel.
However, both the Yun and Bai Family heads were clear that the Su Family's invitation for them to serve as witnesses was a pretext; the real aim was to build prestige.
Su Wushi intended to show them the true strength of Su Qingxue, the Anomaly Level talent, wishing to use this opportunity to intimidate the two great families.
To be fair, the Yun Family and the Bai Family naturally hoped Lin Yi could create a miracle, but they were well aware that a famous Qing City waste going up against an Anomaly Level talent.
The result was likely a foregone conclusion.
Su Qingxue had arrived early at the Life and Death Platform venue; she wore a green long dress, standing on the battle platform like a lotus flower, unstained from the mud and as pure as ice and jade.
"Su Goddess!"
"Go Su Goddess, kill that dead good-for-nothing Lin Yi!"
Many of the young Martial Artists from Qing City sent fervent gazes her way.
In their eyes, Su Qingxue was the righteous party in this battle, while Lin Yi was an ungrateful, lecherous villain whose death was no loss!
Su Qingxue's execution of Lin Yi on the Life and Death Platform today was simply acting for heaven, a joy to the people!
"Elder Song Que of the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy has arrived!"
Just then, along with a shout.
A hooked-nose elder appeared just outside the Life and Death Platform.
Causing all the prominent figures of Qing City to turn solemn.
Who would have thought that a simple duel between the youths would actually disturb a Martial Arts Academy Elder?
"Her Highness the Seventh Princess has arrived!"
However, just after Elder Song Que made his entrance, another important person arrived.
In view, a tall, stunningly beautiful woman in white, accompanied by others, walked into the duel arena.
The Seventh Princess? The Shi Country Royal Family is here as well?
The people of Qing City all showed an expression of disbelief.
First, it was Elder Song Que from the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy, and now the Seventh Princess of Shi Country.
The humble Qing City had unexpectedly welcomed two major figures from Shi Country at the same time!
"Seventh Princess, you're also here to recruit talent for the Royal Family?"
"Unfortunately, you're too late, Qing Xue has already joined our Imperial Capital Martial Arts Academy and has become a special recruit student of our academy."
Elder Song Que stroked his grizzled beard, a hint of pride showing in his demeanor.
"You people from the academy do act quickly."
The Seventh Princess did not seem angered, "Joining the academy is just as well serving Shi Country."
"Today, let Her Highness have a good look at the strength of this Anomaly Level prodigy, it will not be a wasted trip."
Having said that, she headed towards the spectator seats.
"Is Her Highness the Seventh Princess actually a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"
Watching the Seventh Princess's retreating figure, Su Qingxue's eyes suddenly revealed a touch of shock.
This Seventh Princess of Shi Country, barely over twenty years old, had already cultivated to the level of Grandmaster!
She truly is a young Martial Arts Grandmaster!
She thought of herself as a Heavenly Pride Girl, yet this was the first time she had been so soundly defeated by a girl her age.
"The Seventh Princess is a Heavenly Pride nurtured vigorously by the Shi Country Royal Family; her cultivation resources are not something a small-town person like you can compare with."
Elder Song Que merely glanced at Su Qingxue indifferently, "You needn't be envious. Once you join the academy, with your status as an Anomaly Level talent, you will definitely receive great attention! With ample cultivation resources, you won't be inferior to her!"
"Right now, there's only one thing you need to do, and that's to eliminate that boy Lin Yi on the Life and Death Platform, to avenge your senior Luo Tong!"
A fierce look suddenly flashed in Elder Song Que's eyes.
Even though Luo Tong proved incompetent, he was still a disciple of a Martial Arts Academy Elder, and now being killed by a known good-for-nothing from a small city was a severe affront to his face!
Lin Yi must die!
"Yes, Elder Song!"
Su Qingxue bowed towards Elder Song Que.
Then, her gaze once again turned towards the Seventh Princess, her fists clenching tightly in secret.
She, too, would soon reach such a realm!
However, seeing all this unfold.
Lin Zhe and Lin Chong of the Lin Family, had already gone pale as death.
Their Lin Family was already in imminent danger of being annexed by the Su Family.
Now, the Su Family had even brought two major figures from Shi Country for support.
Did their Lin Family still have any hope?
Could it be that the Lin Family's century-old foundation was truly going to be ruined in their hands?
"How come Lin Yi hasn't arrived yet? He didn't get scared, did he?"
"No way, right? Lin Yi doesn't seem like the kind of person who fears death."
"But it depends on the situation. The opponent is an unrivaled Heavenly Pride who has caused a heavenly anomaly, would you dare to face her?"
"If Lin Yi runs away, wouldn't that be the end of our Lin Family?"
The people of the Lin Family were in an uproar.
Even Family Head Lin Zhe's brows were tightly furrowed.
Lin Yi, oh Lin Yi, I've given you everything you asked for, you can't break the agreement...
"Lin Yi has arrived!"
Just at that moment, someone shouted.
Everyone's gaze instantly followed the sound, within that sight was indeed a youth, leading a young girl, walking slowly towards the direction of the Life and Death Platform!
It was Lin Yi, accompanied by his sister Lin Ning!
