The silver light suddenly shot out from Lin Tang's fingertip and struck Lin Yuan directly in the chest, a powerful force lifting him into the air before he could even react. The silver light completely enveloped him."Argh!!"Lin Yuan let out a painful cry as every part of his body felt as though it was being torn apart, the silver light surging through every meridian, every bone, and every drop of blood within him. It was unbearable.Standing below him, Lin Tang watched quietly as silver light continued to burn within his own eyes, his voice echoing throughout the Sword World. "This is the authority to wield the Sovereign Mirror Sword."Lin Yuan gritted his teeth, his face twisted in pain. "This... is too painful!"The silver light became even brighter, and for several moments, the entire Sword World was swallowed by the dazzling radiance. Then, the light suddenly disappeared.Thud!Lin Yuan fell heavily onto the ground, his breathing ragged as sweat soaked his clothes. His muscles t

The sound of the clan bell echoed throughout the Lin Clan. Lin Yuan frowned as he slowly opened his eyes. "What is with that sound?" He sat upright on the bed and stretched lazily, letting out a long yawn. "I haven't been getting enough sleep this day." Ever since obtaining the Sovereign Mirror Sword, he had barely enjoyed a peaceful night's rest. Between cultivating the Origin Scriptures and studying the sword manual Lin Tang had entrusted to him, his days and nights had become one. Dragging his feet across the floor, he pushed open the wooden door. A cool morning breeze greeted him immediately. Lin Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, allowing the fresh air to wash away his exhaustion. "What a peaceful morning..." But the peaceful feeling lasted only a second. The moment he opened his eyes again, he saw dozens of disciples rushing down the stone paths, all heading in the same direction. Some were already sprinting. Others were afraid of being late. Lin Yuan blinked. Hi

Suddenly, the Sovereign Mirror Sword resting quietly beside Lin Yuan began to tremble.Buzz!!The sword slowly rose into the air until its tip pointed directly at the cultivation manual lying before him. A dazzling silver light burst from the blade, illuminating the entire courtyard. The flower petals drifting through the air froze for a brief moment before they were swept away by an invisible force.Lin Yuan's eyes widened in surprise. "The sword..." He immediately shifted his gaze toward the manual.To his astonishment, the words written on the first page slowly faded away as countless silver characters emerged beneath them, as though they had been hidden all along."I never saw these words before." He quickly crouched down and stared at the newly revealed writings. "These words weren't here when I tried cultivating this sword technique these past few days."His heartbeat quickened. He slowly read the first sentence aloud. "You do not learn how to wield the Sovereign Mirror Sword, t

One of the Xiao Clan elders stepped into the Martial Arena. Behind him walked the Young Master of the Xiao Clan, Xiao Gu, dressed in a luxurious crimson robe while casually waving a folding fan in his hand.The moment they appeared, the expressions of every Lin Clan disciple darkened. Many of them clenched their fists in anger upon seeing the Xiao Clan appear during their clan tournament, but not a single one dared to step forward, after all, the Xiao Clan was the third strongest major clan in the Azure Cloud Kingdom, offending them was no different from courting death.Lin Yuan's eyes landed on Xiao Gu, who was leisurely walking behind the elder. "If I were still the Heavenly Emperor..." he muttered to himself, "...I could have killed both of you in an instant." His gaze gradually became colder.Xiao Yue slowly walked before the Clan Head with a faint smile on his face. "Lin Zhentian." He spread his arms slightly. "It has been a long time since I last visited the Lin Clan." His eyes

Xiao Yue glanced toward Arena One before turning to Xiao Gu. "Isn't that the Clan Head's son... Lin Yuan?"Xiao Gu nodded lazily. "It looks like him."The next moment, Xiao Yue burst into laughter, drawing everyone's attention. "Hahaha! So that is the young master of the Lin Clan." He pointed directly at Lin Yuan. "I heard he awakened a defective technique, what a joke, the son of a Clan Head awakening a useless technique."Many disciples lowered their heads. Ever since Lin Yuan's awakening, nobody had been able to understand him completely. Although his technique had been judged as defective, everything he had displayed afterward was full of mysteries.Some believed he was hiding his true strength. Others insisted everything that happened during the Long Clan incident had been carefully planned. Now, facing Lin Feng in the very first round, many felt his luck had finally run out."Can Lin Yuan really defeat Lin Feng?" A disciple whispered softly."I don't know, Lin Yuan shouldn't be
