After Lin Bai put away Lin Yuanrong's storage bag, he took out some elixir pills and spirit liquid that were useful to him and then turned to leave Evil Dragon Island.

Arriving at the teleportation point, Lin Bai left Evil Dragon Island.

"I wonder if the martial arts competition that Master Fang and the other two mentors agreed on has started yet."

"I also wonder how much the cultivation progress of Shu Xiang, Wu Ming, Meng Li, and Changsun Yun has improved."

Lin Bai stepped off Evil Dragon Island and headed directly to Nine Heavens Island.

...

Spirit Master Island.

Originally, Spirit Master Island would only be opened once a year, coinciding with the time when newcomer warriors choose their mentors, but this year, it opened a second time.

This time it opened for the competition between the three mentors.

"Why has Spirit Master Island opened again this year, and why are there so many people?"

Warriors passing by Spirit Master Island all looked towards it and exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't you know? It seems like this year a few mentors have some martial competition..."

"Five months ago, it was said that Fang Yiyun, Bei Haiyan, and Su Ling, the three mentors, made an agreement. Each would guide five disciples in cultivation, and after five months they would compete to see whose guidance was more effective."

"And now, the five months are up."

"I see, let's go have a look too..."

More and more warriors gathered on Spirit Master Island, and in the blink of an eye, nearly tens of thousands were gathered, most just there to watch the show.

As for the three mentors, Su Ling, Bei Haiyan, and Fang Yiyun, they had already arrived.

Fang Yiyun was with Wu Ming, Changsun Yun, Shu Xiang, and Meng Li.

Wu Ming, Changsun Yun, Shu Xiang, and Meng Li all looked energetic, and their cultivation had also broken through to the Life-and-Death Realm. It seemed they had made significant progress beside Fang Yiyun over the past few months.

Especially Meng Li, who carried two swords on his back, one long and one short, one wide and one narrow, one large and one small, which looked peculiar but exuded a domineering presence.

Fang Yiyun kept his eyes closed as if resting, appearing relaxed and unconcerned about today's martial arts competition.

In the distance, Su Ling and Bei Haiyan stood together, coldly saying to each other, "Su Ling, look at Fang Yiyun, acting like victory is already in his grasp."

Su Ling sneered, "Just wait and see. Later, our people will surely surprise them."

"Oliver Ouyang, make sure not to hold back later."

Su Ling said to Oliver Ouyang behind him.

Oliver Ouyang smiled arrogantly and said, "Don't worry, Master Su. Except for Lin Bai, I don't consider any of Fang Yiyun's other disciples a threat. Even if it's Lin Bai, today I can defeat him!"

Bei Haiyan said, "Tan Jing, don't bring shame to me either."

Tan Jing, standing behind Bei Haiyan, nodded slightly and said, "Understood, Master Bei."

Oliver Ouyang and Tan Jing were the most talented warriors among the five disciples chosen by Su Ling and Bei Haiyan. Over the past five months, under the vigorous guidance of Su Ling and Bei Haiyan, their strength had increased significantly, keeping them almost on par with Lin Bai.

Today's competition was expected to see Oliver Ouyang and Tan Jing as the main forces!

They waited for a long time.

Su Ling and Bei Haiyan looked up at the sky and called out to Fang Yiyun, "Fang Yiyun, shall we begin?"

Fang Yiyun, still resting with his eyes closed, sunbathing without much concern, slightly opened his eyes upon hearing them and said, "You want to start? Then let's start."

Just as Fang Yiyun finished speaking, Changsun Yun whispered to him, "Master Fang, Lin Bai hasn't arrived yet."

"Hmm? Lin Bai hasn't arrived yet?" Fang Yiyun frowned for a moment, feeling a bit worried.

After all, Fang Yiyun knew that Evil Dragon Island was a perilous place, and even if Lin Bai had gone, he might have faced a Nine Deaths One Life situation.

Su Ling and Bei Haiyan also looked towards Fang Yiyun.

At this moment, Oliver Ouyang stepped forward and said, "Master Fang, why haven't I seen Lin Bai?"

Tan Jing also looked over and said, "Yes, Master Fang, where is Lin Bai? Could it be he's afraid and doesn't dare to come?"

Meng Li, angered, said, "Nonsense! Lin Bai fears you?"

Changsun Yun also said, "Yes, what's there for Lin Bai to be afraid of?"

Tan Jing and Oliver Ouyang exchanged glances and chuckled, saying, "Afraid of losing to us and tarnishing his Tianjiao reputation!"

"If Lin Bai isn't scared, why hasn't he shown up yet?"

"Where is he?"

Tan Jing and Oliver Ouyang sneered.

These two were the secondary Tianjiao of Nine Heavens Yuanzu Mountain, naturally harboring arrogance, and having made great strides in strength following their mentors over the past five months, they felt capable of stepping on Lin Bai.

Therefore, they both wanted to use today's battle to trample Lin Bai, the Tianjiao, underfoot and humiliate him harshly.

"It seems Lin Bai really hasn't shown up."

"Could it be just as Tan Jing and Oliver Ouyang said, that Lin Bai is scared? Afraid of losing and tarnishing his reputation as a Tianjiao?"

"Lin Bai is too cowardly."

"Humph, how does such a bully deserve the title Tianjiao?"

"Lin Bai doesn't deserve to be called a Tianjiao at all."

Numerous warriors who favored Oliver Ouyang and Tan Jing mocked Lin Bai with sneering comments.

Hearing the surrounding voices, Tan Jing and Oliver Ouyang both had slight smiles on their faces, their expressions full of pride.

Changsun Yun's expression turned cold, and he said, "Junior Brother Lin Bai was only delayed by his cultivation progress, so stop uttering malicious words here."

Oliver Ouyang coldly laughed, "Delayed by cultivation, hehe, Changsun Yun, don't make it sound good. Afraid means afraid; there's nothing unseemly about it."

Tan Jing also coldly laughed, "Exactly, afraid means afraid. Aren't we warriors supposed to be able to afford losing?"

Changsun Yun and Meng Li's faces filled with anger as they heard these words.

Even Shu Xiang and Wu Ming's faces were burning with rage.

However, Fang Yiyun, who was initially worried, suddenly revealed a slight smile and turned his gaze to the horizon, where a rainbow was rushing over.

"I haven't even arrived yet, and I hear a dog barking!"

"Which dog is barking? Does it not have an owner to take care of it?"

Swish—

A rainbow of light landed directly on Spirit Master Island, appearing before Fang Yiyun.

His expression turned slightly cold, his eyes icy and merciless, looking at Tan Jing and Oliver Ouyang.

"Lin Bai!"

Tan Jing and Oliver Ouyang were startled, exclaiming.

The warrior who suddenly arrived on Spirit Master Island was indeed Lin Bai!

Seeing Lin Bai's arrival, Tan Jing and Oliver Ouyang's faces were suddenly filled with gloom and anger, secretly clenching their fists and their expressions turning malicious as they looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai glanced at the two of them and then turned to Fang Yiyun, saying calmly, "Master Fang, I'm late."

Fang Yiyun chuckled, "Not late, not late. I just woke up myself."
