Bai Haiqin sensed Ding Sanshi’s change for the first time.
Bai Haiqin saw Ding Sanshi as he was 16 years ago, come back again.
His current imposing manner made Bai unable to help but tremble slightly.
Ling Junxuan and Qin Lanshu also immediately noticed the strong pressure released by Ding Sanshi, as if a certain seal had been removed. The domineering aura of such a swordsman seemed able to destroy the world, but it was restrained in the blink of an eye. They could not sense it again.
In the field.
Lin Beichen could only vaguely sense that his words had touched Ding Sanshi.
But he could not clearly sense how much they had provoked him.
Lin Beichen continued with his performance.
“Return justice for injustice and return good for good. Only in this way can those who don’t obey the customs be in awe of the customs. Only in this way can those who stick to principles feel the benefits of the principles. Therefore, I, Lin Beichen, have already become your student and taken you as my teacher. How could I be so ungrateful and break the customs that should be obeyed just because I have a better choice?”
Lin Beichen turned around and bowed to the Old Sea Man. He bowed down to the him and said sincerely, “Sir, I’m very grateful to you for your kindness. However, since I have a good teacher, I’m sorry. I can’t betray him.”
At this moment, Lin Beichen only wanted to write a poem…
“Bah, sing a song—
“You came to my side with a smile, bringing me troubles. But there has been another girl in my heart. Oh, she arrived earlier than you…”
It was hard for the Old Sea Man to hide the disappointment on his face.
He had high standards for choosing his disciples.
Otherwise, he would have obtained a direct disciple long before.
Undoubtedly, Lin Beichen was the best candidate he had met over the past few years that he had been looking for a disciple.
However, Lin Beichen’s choice only made him think more highly of this young man.
“You’re a good kid.”
He patted Lin Beichen on the shoulder and said seriously, “My words will always be effective. If one day, you’re not welcome in the North Sea Empire, you can come to Dongliu Island for me.”
Lin Beichen suddenly beamed with joy.
He had a back-up plan.
He quickly thanked him.
At this point, the second part was finally over.
Lin Beichen had won both the first and second parts. It could be said that he was in the limelight.
Cao Potian stared at Lin Beichen as if he was going to eat him alive.
This black sheep had not only defeated him in the previous two battles, but what he had done had also ruthlessly humiliated and insulted him. He felt too ashamed to lift his head up.
“Ha ha! I didn’t expect you to be so conniving at such a young age,” said Bai Haiqin indifferently. He stared at Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen chuckled and said proudly, “I’m just an idiot. I don’t understand your words.”
He ostentatiously walked back to his seat and began to fiddle with the dark green ring.
It didn’t take long for him to find the trick.
The formation inside the ring required Spiritual Force, not Mystery Energy.
After he had injected spiritual force, he could see a space the size of a refrigerator. That was its storage capacity.
He could barely fit all three swords.
There was a flash of light.
The Virtue Sword, the Duolan Sword and the Zhengyi Sword constantly appeared and disappeared in his hands like a magic trick.
“Hehe, it’s fun. Very interesting.”
He pretended to love it so much that he could not let it go.
Bai Qinyun focused her big black eyes on Lin Beichen and looked him up and down. She coughed a few times and saw that Lin Beichen paid no attention to her, so she came up to him and whispered, “Did you really come up with the words you said by yourself?”
Lin Beichen cast a triumphant look at the proud little girl and said, “Of course. What do you think? Are you convinced of the profundity of my philosophical thoughts?”
Bai Qinyun snorted and turned her head.
On the host seats of the banquet.
City Governor Ling Junxuan’s eyes remained fixed on Lin Beichen. It was not until Qin Lanshu gently nudged him that he came to his senses and said in a low voice, “This boy is not an ordinary man.”
Qin Lanshu said via the Mystery Energy, “I didn’t expect such a person to appear from the Mansion of Heaven-Fighting Marquis. Do you think that Lin Beichen has been pretending to be stupid, or is he really stupid?”
Ling Junxuan said, “I don’t know. Heaven-Fighting Marquis probably didn’t pretend to search for doctors everywhere for more than ten years. But after the collapse of the Lin family, this kid’s performance has been simply too amazing… Maybe…” He came up with a possible answer and was shocked. “Maybe this kid is so good at acting that he even managed to fool Heaven-Fighting Marquis?”
Qin Lanshu shook his head.
“No matter how good he is at acting, he was just a child then.
“No matter what his purpose was, it would have been impossible for him to start performing at the age of three or four.
Perhaps this was the trump card left behind by the Heaven-Fighting Marquis Lin Jinnan?
Numerous thoughts flashed through Qin Lanshu’s mind. She had to admit that for his age, Lin Beichen was top-notch in talent, appearance, comprehension, and personality. She was not upset that her daughter had fallen in love with such a man.
However, the problem lay in the fact that all that Lin Beichen had was not enough to solve Ling Chen’s problem.
She shook her head and got rid of all the distracting thoughts from her mind. Her mind became firm again.
Then, under Ling Junxuan’s hint, the chief steward Li Luoran continued the third part of the sword test, which was also the final part—
It was a sword duel.
This duel was different from the battles testing student’s comprehension of Water Swordplay after just a short period of study. This duel was really about one’s training, swordsmanship, and combat strength. There was no limitations on sword skills. The boys and girls could freely and completely exert their skills.
There was only one rule——
Stop when it was time to stop.
“Lin Beichen, I want to challenging you.”
Cao Potian could not wait to jump out as soon as part 3 had begun.
He firmly believed that, without the restriction of Water Swordplay, his training and swordsmanship would allow him to defeat Lin Beichen.
Finally, he could take revenge.
“No, I don’t want to fight.”
Lin Beichen refused without hesitation.
He was not an idiot.
He did not need to show off in this part.
He had won two out of the three total sections.
He had obtained glory for the sake of Mr. Ding.
His mission had been completed.
What was more, Lin Beichen was very self-aware. In an unlimited battle, he was no match for Xue Yan, Song Queyi and Ming Luotian, let alone Cao Potian. He could barely rival Dongfang Zhan, and it would be torture for himself to battle with Cao Potian. There was no need for him to hold on any longer.
“What? You… are you actually refusing to accept the challenge?”
Cao Potian was so angry that he almost choked to death. He said, “Are you afraid?”
Of course Lin Beichen was afraid.
But he could not admit it.
“I’m going to piss you off.
I just like the look on your face when you’re angry at me and you could torture me easily, but you don’t have a chance to do it.”
He chuckled and said, “Do you think I’m afraid of my defeated opponent? You are not qualified to fight me.”
Cao Potian was about to die of anger.
“Let me do it.” Xue Yan jumped out and said, “Lin Beichen, I want to fight you.”
Lin Beichen merely said, “If you want to challenge me, you’d better defeat him first.” Then, he pointed his finger at Cao Potian.
“What the f**k.”
Cao Potian and Xue Yan were about to cry out of anger.
“Don’t you feel ashamed?”
