I, the Holy Son of Yaoguang, am invincible in the world / Even my beautiful master is invincible.

Lin Xiao stared at Yu Jian suspiciously.

To be honest, the other party's disguise was quite good; they were rather cunning.

If it weren't for the system notification of the reward, he might have been kept in the dark.

However, since the system gave a prompt, it means that Yu Jian is actually full of hostility towards him.

"Senior Brother Yu, you must stand up for us!"

The male disciples, not understanding the situation, thought Yu Jian was trying to curry favor with Lin Xiao, and they all became anxious.

"Don't talk nonsense."

"We're all from the same sect, what's the big deal about a little conflict?"

Yu Jian shook his head and looked at Lin Xiao, offering a "friendly reminder": "Lin Xiao, the Sword Trial Tower is not easy to pass. My best result is only reaching the thirteenth floor."

Lin Xiao understood now.

Yu Jian's seemingly friendly reminder was actually a way of showing off his achievements.

Lin Xiao also understood Yu Jian's intention.

The opponent was trying to embarrass him by using the Sword Testing Tower.

"Thanks for the reminder, Little Scoundrel!"

Lin Xiao chuckled and turned to walk towards the Sword Testing Tower.

"You little rascal..."

Yu Jian's lips twitched a few times.

He always felt that Lin Xiao used cheap tricks, not swordsmanship.

"Oh, right."

There's something I forgot to tell you.

"Inside the Sword Testing Tower, the power of the source of sword intent suppresses all other martial arts techniques, so it is best to use swordsmanship to pass the level, because the power of other martial arts techniques will be greatly reduced."

"For example, the Earth Flame Palm!"

At this moment, Yu Jian spoke again.

Chapter 54 begins the tower challenge.

It is common knowledge that Lin Xiao possesses the Earth Flame Palm technique.

This meant that although he held the Crimson Cloud Sword, in Yu Jian's eyes, it was at most just for show.

He believed that Lin Xiao's attempt to enter the Sword Trial Tower was likely based on his Earth Flame Palm technique.

Therefore, Lin Xiao's strength would be greatly reduced due to the existence of the Sword Intent Source.

Yu Jian deliberately revealed everything in an attempt to influence Lin Xiao's mindset.

Once your mind is in turmoil.

It becomes even more difficult to unleash one's full potential.

At that time, Lin Xiao's performance in the Trial Sword Tower will inevitably be very poor.

If this gets out, it will undoubtedly be a very embarrassing thing.

After all, Lin Xiao is now a well-known genius.

People will subconsciously raise their expectations of him.

Take, for example, the Sword Trial Tower.

For others to pass the first ten levels is already considered very impressive.

But for Lin Xiao, this might just be a basic requirement.

In this situation, if Lin Xiao were to fail after only two or three levels, wouldn't he become a laughing stock?

"Lin Xiao, you'll soon find out just how difficult the Trial Tower is."

"Just wait and see! Lin Xiao can't even get past the first three levels."

"Who told him to humiliate himself? He clearly doesn't understand swordsmanship, yet he still dared to try to enter the Sword Testing Tower."

Compared to Yu Jian, the male disciples openly expressed their hatred.

"Put away your narrow-minded views. Our Xiaoxiao is a peerless genius. There's nothing that can stump him."

"Exactly! Lin Xiao can at least reach the tenth floor."

"Xie Siyuan, if you keep babbling, I'll draw my sword and chop you down. You're my enemy now, and you dare to talk about my Lin Xiao?"

"I……"

The female disciples all spoke up, defending Lin Xiao.

Male disciples are not allowed to slander Lin Xiao's image in their minds.

Lin Xiao looked up at the towering Sword Testing Tower.

A winding staircase, built along the outer wall of the Sword Testing Tower, meanders upwards like a dragon coiled around the tower.

In this way, others can clearly know how many levels the tower climber has passed.

After all, to get to the next floor, you need to go up the stairs outside.

Lin Xiao climbed the steps, pushed open the door to the first floor of the Sword Testing Tower, and stepped inside.

"Elder, Lin Xiao has come to our Sword Palace to challenge the Sword Trial Tower."

"understood!"

"Palace Master, Lin Xiao is about to challenge the Sword Trial Tower."

"Okay! Don't report such trivial matters next time."

The Sword Palace Master and a group of elders all received the news that Lin Xiao had challenged the Sword Trial Tower.

But they all gave a bland reply and then nothing more.

If Lin Xiao were to trigger another resonance with heaven and earth, or obtain some divine artifact, they would all be interested in going to see it.

Upon hearing that Lin Xiao was going to challenge the Sword Trial Tower, they all lost interest.

As far as they knew, Lin Xiao was not a sword cultivator at all.

Even if he wanted to practice swordsmanship, he should start from scratch; the Sword Trial Tower was simply not a place he could enter.

Since Lin Xiao is destined not to have any outstanding performance.

Then what's the point of watching?

Yaoguang Peak!

Inside a palace.

Bai Xuer met Ye Guoer.

One was pure and ethereal, like a fairy, while the other was sweet, lovely, and charming.

Their gathering together seemed to brighten the entire palace.

"Third sister, you're finally back."

Ye Guo'er held Bai Xu'er's hand and subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

"Guo'er, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so relieved?"

Bai Xuer asked with a puzzled look.

"Third sister, you have no idea how much trouble Lin Xiao causes," Ye Guo'er said.

"Could Lin Xiao be any more troublesome than you?"

Bai Xuer laughed and said, "Among the four of us sisters, you are the most clever and mischievous."

"..."

Ye Guo'er shook her head.

Her lifelong reputation was ruined in that one night.

However, she naturally wouldn't reveal this.

"Third sister, the entire outer sect has been thrown into chaos by Lin Xiao lately..."

Ye Guo'er quickly recounted all of Lin Xiao's deeds.

For example, on the challenge stage, Lin Xiao defeated hundreds of people in a row.

For example, the pass rate for this year's inner sect assessment was the lowest in history, because only Lin Xiao passed.

Bai Xuer didn't quite believe it at first.

But after hearing it, even her flawless, beautiful face showed a look of astonishment.

She said worriedly, "Guo'er, I...I asked Lin Xiao to go to the Sword Palace. I hope nothing bad will happen."

"That... probably not."

Ye Guo'er thought for a moment, then shook her head and said, "The inner sect and the outer sect are different. The palace master and elders of the Sword Palace will keep an eye on Lin Xiao."

"That's true."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xuer didn't think about it any further.

……

Sword Testing Tower, Level 1!

The tower was brightly lit.

In front of Lin Xiao were nine humanoid mechanical puppets.

Each mechanical puppet is made of special wood, which is even stronger than refined iron.

Their cultivation aura was also at the sixth level of the Yuanhai Realm.

Exactly the same as Lin Xiao.
