NOVEL WEB Chapter 837 Alarmed the "Old Master"?
"Oh no!"
Gu Cheng's face changed dramatically. There was no time to dodge, and his body was swept by the beehive-like Sword Qi. He screamed miserably as his body fell from the Sacred Ascending Ladder.
"This!"
The students of Wanling Academy were all dumbfounded, unable to believe it. Clearly, it was Gu Cheng who ambushed Lin Yi first, but he ended up losing the game, instead being knocked off the ladder by Lin Yi?
Gu Cheng, this time, lost both the person and the battle!
Not only was his strength crushed, but he also lost all his dignity!
Utterly defeated!
"The outcome is decided!"
Lan Xuan couldn't help but sigh. Who would have thought the duel between the two would reach a conclusion so quickly, and the result exceeded everyone's expectations? Gu Cheng, the Core Saint, suffered a disastrous defeat at the hands of newcomer Lin Yi!
After Gu Cheng fell from the ladder, Lin Yi did not stop climbing but continued to advance with his head held high!
The second level hardly delayed Lin Yi for a moment before he broke through!

The third level, with increased pressure, was equally broken through!
The fourth level, broken!
The fifth level, broken!
...
Dong!
Dong!
The melodious bell sound rang out one after another. It was Lin Yi's first time ascending the Sacred Ascending Ladder, and yet he progressed with unstoppable momentum. Those levels, which seemed extremely difficult in their eyes, could not stop Lin Yi in the slightest!
It's hard to believe Lin Yi was ascending the Sacred Ascending Ladder for the first time!
Upon reaching the Ninth Level in one go, Lin Yi was pulled into the Illusion Realm, an arena appeared, and a figure stood in his way.
The figure exuded the aura of a Saint, yet was youthful, clearly representing the Saint of Wanling Academy in his younger days.
This left Lin Yi slightly surprised.
Judging by this stance, he had to defeat a youthful Saint to completely clear the level!
"Already at the top so soon?"
Lan Xuan's expression had changed from initial mocking to utter gravity. How much time had passed since Lin Yi started ascending the Sacred Ascending Ladder until now?
Not even a quarter of an hour!
Lin Yi ascended the ladder with astonishing speed, surely ranking within the academy's top ten!
Crucially, this was Lin Yi's first time on the ladder.
It's incredible!
"To completely pass the ladder, one must defeat the Saint projection guarding it. Can Lin Yi do it?"
Lan Xuan's beautiful eyes slightly flickered. Not many in the entire Wanling Academy have cleared the ladder on their first try, and those who have are almost all outstanding, possessing unparalleled elegance. None are ordinary.
If Lin Yi could become one of them, he would make a legendary name for himself in Wanling Academy!
But in Lan Xuan's view, defeating a Saint projection was extremely challenging, a test and a fierce battle for Lin Yi!
But at that moment!
Dong!
A resonant bell reverberated, Lin Yi had already broken through the Ninth Level!
On top of the Sacred Ascending Ladder, auspicious signs appeared everywhere, divine light filled the sky, countless statues of Saints glowed and trembled, as if congratulating Lin Yi on passing!
"How is it possible?"
Lan Xuan was dumbfounded, "I misjudged. How is this young man so formidable, with aptitude akin to those in the top ten of Wanling Academy!"
And below the ladder, Gu Cheng's face turned ghastly pale. He had been provoking Lin Yi, thinking of him as a newcomer, so audaciously acting without restraint, yet who would have thought, this person broke through the ladder in one go, setting a record!
"So dominant, not only subdued Gu Cheng but crossed the ladder in one go, creating the fastest record!"
Numerous students of Wanling Academy marveled, feeling incredulous.
Meanwhile, Lin Yi had already descended the ladder and approached Gu Cheng, smilingly saying, "You lost, now fulfill the bet."
Saying so, Lin Yi abruptly waved his hand, reaching for the ornate Holy Sword.
"No!!!"
Gu Cheng had no intention of surrendering the Holy Sword and screamed when he saw Lin Yi about to take his sword.
But he was met with a slap from Lin Yi, instantly knocking him unconscious.
Knocking Gu Cheng out with a slap, Lin Yi promptly took the Holy Sword as spoils of war.
To this, no one had anything to say, as the Holy Sword was the wager, and losers must accept the outcome; it rightfully belonged to Lin Yi.
"Kid, you're impressive!"
At this moment, a vigorous and strong voice suddenly came from afar, it was an elder Great Saint of the academy, looking at Lin Yi with enthusiasm.
"Would you like to join me as my disciple?"
Lin Yi looked in the direction of the voice, feeling the cultivation of the Great Saint was indeed vast like the sea, unfathomable. With his current cultivation, he could glimpse only a fraction of the whole.
Yet before Lin Yi could agree, another voice came, "Young man, you practice Sword Dao, more suitable to be under my tutelage!"
This time it was a middle-aged man in a blue shirt, carrying a longsword, with a sharp aura, evidently a Sword Dao Great Saint. He too favored Lin Yi and wanted him as a disciple.
"Lin Yi, being fought over by two Great Saints?"
For a moment, the surrounding Wanling Academy students all showed expressions of extreme envy. Being tutored by a Great Saint was their dream, but Lin Yi could make two Great Saints vie for him, a scene never seen before!
Lin Yi's eyes slightly brightened. Compared to the elder Great Saint, this Sword Dao Great Saint indeed suited him better.
However, just as he was about to agree, unexpectedly, an even more transcendent and powerful aura appeared. It was an elder with an immortal demeanor, clearly a high worldly expert, who actually subdued the two Great Saints present, making them look up and pay homage.
This aura awed many students of Wanling Academy, causing them to show signs of shock.
Could it be, able to make those two Great Saints lose composure and worship, this elder is their Wanling Academy's Old Master, who seldom shows himself before students?
If not the Old Master, the Great Saint Realm Peak powerhouse, who else could suppress two Great Saints into submission?
"My heavens, even the Old Master was alarmed?"
"Could it be, the Old Master is intending to recruit a disciple?"
Many were so envious their eyes turned purple, finding it hard to believe.
The Old Master hadn't accepted a disciple for many years, and once he did, it might as well be a Closed-door Disciple. The level of attention given would certainly not be ordinary, and future achievements would surely not be mediocre!
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as soaring to great heights!
"Hmm?"
However, upon glancing at that "Old Master," a trace of surprise flashed in Wuyue's beautiful eyes. Clearly, she recognized him, but did not speak, instead watching the scene with interest, showing no intention of intervening.
