"Lu Ziqi, don't you think you're meddling too much."

Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Lu Ziqi.

"Also, I've been very tolerant of you. I'll warn you, don't set your sights on Bai Yutang, or don't blame me for coming after you with interest."

Lu Ziqi heard Gao Yuanyuan's stern tone, and pretended to pat her chest in fear, "I'm really scared, Senior Sister Gao."

Gao Yuanyuan suddenly turned around, scaring Lu Ziqi to jump back and create distance. Within the Inner Sect, disciples are divided into varying levels, and Gao Yuanyuan is known as the top female swordmaster. Although Lu Ziqi has ambitions to claim the top spot, she's failed several times.

This made Lu Ziqi quite dissatisfied.

"Hmph, men aren't yours just because you say they are, Senior Sister Gao. If Bai Yutang decides to fall into my arms, I can't help it, can I?"

"So, Senior Sister Gao, let's have a fair competition. Let's see who Bai Yutang chooses, what do you think?"

Lu Ziqi restrained herself a bit, but the colder Gao Yuanyuan acted, even taking a protective stance, the more Lu Ziqi was reluctant to let Bai Yutang go.

She couldn't beat Gao Yuanyuan, and Bai Yutang was the only weakness she found in Gao Yuanyuan. How could she not exploit it?

"Do you think he'll choose you?"

"Why not? Do you think I'm less pretty or not as shapely as you?" Lu Ziqi never thought she lost out to Gao Yuanyuan in looks.

The only difference between the two might be that Gao Yuanyuan is rather aloof and exudes coldness, which might give some a desire to conquer. But in the end, don't men ultimately fall for the lively ones?

"Hmph."

Gao Yuanyuan snorted coldly and turned away.

Lu Ziqi felt insulted, "Hmph, Gao Yuanyuan, stop pretending you're high and mighty. Just wait and see, I'll win Bai Yutang sooner or later."

"What?"

"Bai Yutang went to the Sword Wall?"

"Did this guy get kicked by a donkey, or did he think he's unbeatable after defeating Lin Xiong?"

Lin Ao received the news and was initially shocked.

The Sword Wall is undoubtedly a challenging checkpoint of Divine Sword Manor, not typically accessible to Outer Sect disciples.

Within Divine Sword Manor, the hierarchy is strictly defined, and crossing these boundaries isn't simple.

For instance, entering Three Sects and Six Gates of Ten Great Families from society is the first hurdle.

The martial arts tournament in the secular world serves as the first gate, much like a midterm exam. Once you pass, you enter the Ancient Martial World, choose your favored faction, and then face numerous challenges.

Newcomers can only be recorded disciples at Lin Family's Divine Sword Manor. Recorded disciples must pass the Outer Sect's assessment to become Outer Sect disciples.

Even within the Outer Sect, there's no guarantee of a comfortable future.

Divine Sword Manor is famed for Sword Control in the Ancient Martial World, hence the opening of Divine Acupoint is an essential condition for promotion to the Inner Sect.

But even if acupoints are opened, one is still a standard Inner Sect disciple, moving out of the courtyard to a cave dwelling on the mountain wall, where each Inner Sect disciple can get their own cave, gaining more resources.

Above standard Inner Sect disciples are Closed-door Disciples, taken under the wing by the Manor Master and seven Elders, who undoubtedly have more privileges and benefits, engaging with the upper echelon of manor power, ensuring unlimited futures.

The Sword Wall is actually a test to advance from Inner Sect disciple to Closed-door Disciple within a year of becoming an Inner Sect disciple.

Don't underestimate a year's duration; it's not uncommon for three to five years to pass without anyone succeeding. Those who do are invariably genius prodigies.

Gao Yuanyuan took Li Feng to the Sword Wall after his battle in the bamboo forest with Lin Xiong, which impressed her a bit. Initially, she only intended for Bai Yutang to enter the Inner Sect for easier care.

However, Lu Ziqi's previous closeness with Bai Yutang annoyed Gao Yuanyuan, especially as Bai Yutang didn't push Lu Ziqi away but looked on with enjoyment.

Naturally, Gao Yuanyuan intended to "punish" Bai Yutang a bit and test his potential.

Li Feng was unaware Gao Yuanyuan took him to the Sword Wall due to jealousy over Lu Ziqi clinging to his arm. He thought it was necessary to pass this gate to enter the Inner Sect.

Nothing but a series of coincidences led Li Feng into a predicament.

Lin Ao, upon hearing Li Feng went to the Sword Wall, directly turned to find his elder brother Lin Xiong.

"Big Brother, Bai Yutang believes he can do anything after defeating you, and now he's gone to the Sword Wall."

"Bai Yutang is utterly clueless; the Sword Wall isn't so easily conquered. Countless Inner Sect disciples have failed, unable to pass this step."

"He's gone there; doesn't he fear falling to his death?"

Currently, Lin Xiong was seated in meditation, stabilizing his Sea of Consciousness after opening Divine Acupoint, especially with receiving a Solid God Pill upon his breakthrough.

However, hearing Bai Yutang went to the Sword Wall surprised him.

He had long planned to attempt the Sword Wall but not anytime soon; he had set himself a timeline of three months.

Lin Xiong squinted, "Keep an eye on him. I need to stabilize my Sea of Consciousness. Get going."

"Alright."

Lin Ao dared not interrupt his brother's cultivation, despite his brother's indifference, as they remain blood brothers, inseparable by inner ties.

Before the Sword Wall.

Li Feng was prepared, equipped with two daggers, a steel wire rope, and some bamboo pieces for footholds.

Li Feng had previously tried this; though he seemed impressive against Lin Xiong with a flurry of attacking bamboo leaves.

Bamboo leaves are light, whereas a flying sword weighs at least seven or eight pounds. Let alone standing on the flying sword.

This means the controlling telekinesis needs to handle weight of hundreds of pounds.

Of course, Lin Family's Sword Control Technique isn't the fantasy kind; it involves flying with the sword while leaning on air.

It requires intense control, substantial telekinesis, excellent balance, and a lack of fear of heights.

Make one misstep, and you risk crashing down.

Li Feng had never tried it before, recklessly attempting Gao Yuanyuan's air-stepping skill was outright intimidating.

Still, Gao Yuanyuan only mentioned ascending the Sword Wall, allowing utilization, so Li Feng would ascend his way.

He couldn't fly, but climbing was his forte.

Though the Sword Wall is smooth, it doesn't lack points to leverage, such as those sword holes, small but sufficient for Li Feng's use.

Standing below the Sword Wall, Li Feng's telekinesis had already mapped over a hundred meters, memorizing each sword hole, conducting precise analysis to chart a feasible route.

"This Bai Yutang really intends to go up."

"He's absolutely swept off his feet."

Numerous Outer Sect disciples gathering to see Li Feng disguised as Bai Yutang at the Sword Wall, exclaimed that he's got too carried away.
