Chapter 536: Haunted

Lin Bai had just taken two steps when he suddenly thought of something and stepped back.

"It's Long Aotian from the Dragon Nest Valley. He said if we teach you a lesson, he'll give each of us a magic treasure."

Hearing what Lin Bai said, the other party responded in a dull, wooden manner.

"I didn't expect Long Aotian to be so generous. But as a second disciple of the Dragon Nest Ancient Land, where would he get so many magic treasures?"

"You are also naive. Don't you fear the other party might be deceiving you? If they want to renege on the deal later, it would be a piece of cake."

Lin Bai looked at these few people and helplessly shook his head; the other party was truly foolish.

After hearing Lin Bai speak this way, the other party seemed to suddenly realize the truth.

However, Lin Bai did not know, nor did he wish to know, what would happen afterward.

After resolving this small trouble, he hurried back to his lodging on his own.

And if anyone on this side had paid closer attention, they would have seen someone carrying objects moving quickly, a process that did not completely end until dawn.

"Senior brother, senior brother, did you hear? The Mirror of Heavenly Immortals was haunted last night."

Early the next morning, just as Lin Bai got up to eat breakfast, Wang Yuping ran quickly to Lin Bai's place with a gossipy expression on her face.

"Oh, haunted? Haunted by what ghost?"

"Besides, do you really believe in such tricks meant to fool children?"

Lin Bai rolled his eyes directly; he was not particularly interested. In his view, what ghosts or gods were there? Even if there were, why fear them with their current strength?

"It's true. Yesterday, on the way back to our place from Shi Zhiling, I heard someone say a ghostly shadow kept moving, and it seemed to be holding something in its hand."

"But when everyone went to check there the next day, they found nothing."

"The disciple who found it was thoroughly terrified."

Seeing Lin Bai's expression, Wang Yuping seemed to think he didn't believe her, so she recounted the story vividly.

After hearing this, Lin Bai wore an embarrassed expression; should he tell the other party that it wasn't a ghost at all, but simply someone moving a person who had fainted?

However, seeing Wang Yuping so focused, Lin Bai truly could not bear to disturb her, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Senior brother, didn't you go to see off Shi Liuli yesterday? You took that road; did you see anything?"

Wang Yuping suddenly thought of something and stared at Lin Bai with some excitement.

"No, I just came back after seeing her off."

Lin Bai shook his head; after hearing this, Wang Yuping lowered her head in some disappointment.

"By the way, how is Seeing Wei Xiang's training going? Why do you have time to come to my place?"

Lin Bai raised his eyebrows and quickly changed the subject.

"Seeing Wei Xiang said he doesn't need me as his sparring partner anymore; he has already gone back."

"I just had nothing to do after getting up this morning, so I came to find you."

Wang Yuping sat there and replied in a bored manner.

"He went back? Why?"

Lin Bai frowned, somewhat confused.

"Seeing Wei Xiang said he always feels something is still lacking. But no matter how hard I attack him, he cannot break through, so Seeing Wei Xiang said we don't need to continue for now."

"Later, he will study it carefully on his own."

Wang Yuping briefly recounted Seeing Wei Xiang's situation to Lin Bai.

"Oh, that could be because your attack power has reached its limit, or perhaps it is due to his own reasons?"

After hearing this, Lin Bai raised his eyebrows; these were the two most likely scenarios.

"Who knows? Seeing Wei Xiang also said that perhaps he will break through on the field later."

"Besides, it is also possible that my attacks on him during this period have reached a saturation point."

Wang Yuping nodded.

"That is good too; you two should rest well during this period."

"The thirty-into-fifteen round should be relatively easier."

"The fifteen-into-ten round might be more difficult."

Lin Bai raised his eyebrows; regarding tomorrow's match, it was actually fine.

The new match order had already been released.

Lin Bai and the others originally thought Long Aotian would meet Seeing Wei Xiang, but they did not expect that in this thirty-into-fifteen match, none of them would encounter each other.

That meant Seeing Wei Xiang still had some time to intensify his training.

Soon the second day arrived; this competition was faster than before, divided into groups of three, totaling ten groups.

Looking at the two people before him, Lin Bai could not help but raise his eyebrows.

And upon seeing Lin Bai, these two people could not help but tremble.

After all, last night's events were still vivid in their minds.

Who knew that today their luck would be so bad, meeting the other party on the arena.

"So it's you two."

The corners of Lin Bai's mouth curled up slightly; these were precisely the senior and junior brothers he had beaten last night.

He did not expect to have the fortune to meet them on the arena today.

"Y-yes, yes, quite a coincidence. Um, we, we surrender."

The other party looked at Lin Bai, smiled awkwardly, and then raised a hand to signal the judges that they surrendered.

"In this match, Lin Bai from the Land of No Beginning wins."

With the referee's decision, Lin Bai did not even need to lift a finger this time and won directly.

And the crowd outside the arena had originally been thinking of watching another fight by Lin Bai.

They wanted to see if the opponent would use that same move against them again.

They did not expect, however, that reality would disappoint them; those two actually surrendered directly.

"Thanks."

Lin Bai looked at the two of them, then turned lightly and returned to the viewing platform.

"Senior Brother, what is going on with 050? Those two seem to know you."

After Lin Bai returned to Wang Yuping's side, Wang Yuping stared intently at Lin Bai with a puzzled expression.

After all, aside from the previous eldest disciple of the Heavenly Immortal Realm, no one had received such treatment.

"Who knows? Perhaps they were captivated by your senior brother's handsomeness."

Lin Bai raised an eyebrow, a smile on his face.

Lin Bai, it seems your reputation is growing ever greater. Just then, Shi Liuli's voice came over; only then did Lin Bai notice that Shi Liuli had somehow sat beside him at some point.

"Did you just arrive?"

Looking at the other person, Lin Bai asked with a puzzled expression.

After all, he had not seen the other person's figure just now.
