Ling Tian Sword God

Chapter 790: Chapter 788: Level 8_1

”Why are you all fussing over a little girl?”

Ye Ming shook his head, appearing quite magnanimous. Having successfully left his name on the Green History Wall, he was in an excellent mood and naturally didn’t want to bicker with Ling Yin.

Hearing this, Dong Yaotian and the others snorted coldly but said no more.

However, Ling Yin was very displeased to hear this. These despicable people actually dared to look down on her!

”Forget it. Let’s leave our names first,” Ling Chen said, stopping Ling Yin with a faint smile. Actions speak louder than words; that was the best form of counterattack.

”Mhm.”

Ling Yin nodded, then sat cross-legged before the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall, beginning to immerse her consciousness into it.

”Hehe, Brother Ye, how many stages do you reckon this little girl can clear?” Yuwen Jie grinned, a teasing look on his face.

”Perhaps three stages,” Ye Ming said nonchalantly.

”Three stages? You’re overestimating her. I’d say two at most,” Dong Yaotian stated disdainfully.

”Even two is too many. One stage at most.”

The remaining two didn’t miss the chance to jeer.

These jerks... Shen Qianlang’s expression turned a little grim. He was simply hoping Ling Yin could pass a few more stages; otherwise, they would likely face even harsher ridicule later. He had seen Ling Yin in action before. Despite her young age, her abilities were remarkable. She could toy with four Shadow Guards single-handedly; her aptitude surely wasn’t lacking. She was always so calm and unhurried.

Only Ling Chen remained quietly to the side, his expression serene, as if he wasn’t worried at all.

BUZZ!

When Ling Yin began the test, a section of the testing pillar before her suddenly lit up, indicating her entry into the first stage.

However, in just a blink, the pillar lit up three sections.

”She reached the third stage so quickly?”

Ye Ming and the others were all astonished. Ling Yin’s pace through the stages was considerably faster than even Ye Ming’s.

”Merely the third stage. Nothing worth mentioning,” Dong Yaotian snorted coldly.

”That’s right. The third stage might be her limit,” Yuwen Jie added, his expression uncertain.

No sooner had his words fallen than Ling Yin indeed became stuck at the third stage for quite some time. The testing pillar remained unlit for a long while.

Has she really reached her limit already? The hopeful glint in Shen Qianlang’s eyes quickly dimmed, his excitement vanishing completely.

”I told you, this girl’s limit was probably the third stage. Just as I predicted,” Yuwen Jie said, looking extremely pleased with himself.

BUZZ! BUZZ! BUZZ!

However, just as he finished speaking, the testing pillar suddenly flared to life again.

And this time, it lit up three more times in quick succession, shooting up three sections directly.

”What? She went straight to the sixth stage!”

Shen Qianlang’s jaw dropped; he was simply at a loss for words to describe his current emotions.

”Impossible!”

Yuwen Jie and the others stared wide-eyed, as if petrified on the spot.

Their faces burned with humiliation. They had just finished mocking Ling Yin, only for her to achieve such a feat immediately after. It was a resounding slap in the face.

”To think a little girl could also leave her name on the Green History Wall.”

Ye Ming took a deep breath. Even he, an expert on the Hidden Dragon List, had only managed to reach the sixth stage, the same as Ling Yin.

”Hmph, the sixth stage is just barely enough to leave her name. She claimed earlier she would rank in the top twenty on this Green History Wall, didn’t she?”

Naturally, Dong Yaotian wouldn’t admit he’d been shown up by a young girl. His expression was rather unsightly as he snorted coldly.

”Exactly! The top twenty? As if someone like her could make it,” Yuwen Jie also sneered.

BUZZ!

As soon as their words fell, the testing pillar climbed another section, indicating Ling Yin had advanced to the seventh stage.

Dong Yaotian, Yuwen Jie, and the others were speechless, their faces flushing a deep crimson.

They no longer dared to utter any more taunts. Ling Yin had reached the seventh stage, surpassing all three of them. To disparage Ling Yin now would be to disparage themselves.

”Amazing! Good heavens, I never imagined Little Sister Ling Yin’s aptitude would be this astounding!”

Shen Qianlang was completely stunned. He had initially assumed that Ling Chen was the strongest and most talented among their group. He never expected Ling Yin to reach the seventh stage in the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall’s test, surpassing three Hidden Dragon List geniuses.

”So-so.”

Ling Chen, who had remained silent and composed from the beginning, finally rubbed his chin, nodded slowly, and uttered just two words.

So-so?

Shen Qianlang didn’t know if Ling Chen was deliberately trying to provoke Ye Ming and the others, or if, in Ling Chen’s eyes, Ling Yin’s performance truly was just so-so.

But there was no doubt that Ling Yin was a top-tier genius. Her name being recorded on the Green History Wall this time was a certainty, and she would achieve a good ranking.

BUZZ!

Amidst everyone’s awe, the testing pillar before Ling Yin lit up once more, reaching the eighth level.

The eighth stage!

Everyone present was astounded!

All eyes were fixed on the testing pillar, filled with utter astonishment.

The entire True Dragon Pavilion seemed to reverberate as a deafening din erupted.

A peerless genius might be emerging here today!

”Incredible! She couldn’t possibly rush to the ninth stage in one go, could she?!”

”Impossible! Only a handful of people have ever reached the ninth stage on the entire Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall. This girl is just an unknown. Could she really contend with those supreme geniuses?”

”It’s hard to say. A moment ago, who would have thought this little girl could reach the eighth stage? We thought clearing three stages would be remarkable for her.”

Inside the True Dragon Pavilion, numerous young talents whispered amongst themselves, discussing animatedly and expressing their excitement.

Reaching the eighth stage meant she could at least enter the top twenty, as only five individuals on the Green History Wall had ever reached the ninth stage.

The light from the eighth section of the testing pillar persisted for a good ten minutes or so before finally fading. At that moment, Ling Yin’s eyes slowly opened.

Her result was fixed at the eighth stage.

The onlookers, who had been holding their breath, finally let out a collective sigh of relief. Thankfully, the result wasn’t too unbelievable. If Ling Yin had reached the ninth stage, that would have been truly incredible. It would likely have been explosive news, shaking the entire Southern Martial World, perhaps even the entire Nine Provinces Land.

”A pity. I didn’t notice one was still ’alive’. So close.”

Ling Yin’s small face was filled with regret.

”So, you’re saying that of the will-constructs in the eighth stage, you defeated all but one?”

Shen Qianlang was inwardly shaken once more. The eighth stage had as many as one hundred and twenty-eight will-constructs, and Ling Yin had actually overcome one hundred and twenty-seven of them! That was beyond monstrous!

”Let’s see the ranking.”

At this moment, the names on the Ten Thousand Years Green History Wall began to flicker. Densely packed names floated and shifted, changing positions.
