One Person: Revitalize the Sword Sect, Start with the Sword Challenge of the Ten Lords

Lu Jin looked at Ye Lin's hurriedly leaving back, a helpless yet doting smile on his lips, and shook his head: "This kid is quite cunning. However, since he is young, he should have some drive. I'm afraid that girl Lu Linglong will be disappointed for a while."

The night breeze blew gently in through the half-open window, carrying away the heat in the room and seemingly also the awkwardness and tension. Lu Jin stood there alone, his mind racing. He secretly admired Ye Lin's decisiveness, but also felt disappointed that his own little plan hadn't come to fruition.

"Alas, the world of young people is really unpredictable." Lu Jin said to himself, then smiled lightly, sorted out the books and scrolls scattered around, and prepared to end the day.

Outside the secret room, the night sky was clear and the stars were shining brightly. Ye Lin hurried through the winding corridors, his heart still beating slightly rapidly. He couldn't help but laugh at himself. "Senior Lu Jin, really, why did you suddenly bring up such a thing... But, Lu Linglong... she is indeed a good girl."

As his thoughts wandered, Ye Lin's pace gradually slowed down and finally stopped in an open courtyard.

Looking up at the starry sky, he silently made a wish: "When I become truly powerful, I will live up to the expectations of everyone around me."

The moonlight was like water, sprinkling on Ye Lin's quiet courtyard, adding a bit of mystery to the quiet night.

He stepped into his little room, walked to the table with ease, took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with determination.

With a light touch of his fingers, a virtual panel quietly appeared before his eyes. It was his secret - the system panel.

On the panel, strings of numbers jumped, highlighting the day's gains. Personal prestige soared due to the day's outstanding performance, and the sect's prestige also rose accordingly, both more dazzling than before.

The corners of Ye Lin's mouth rose unconsciously, and an indescribable sense of satisfaction surged in his heart.

All these achievements are a testament to his sweat and hard work.

"it's time."

Ye Lin muttered to himself, his eyes fixed on a corner of the system store.

The pages scrolled slowly until the book "Sword Technique to Exorcise Evils" that he had been thinking about came into view.

Without hesitation, he clicked to buy, as if he could feel the powerful force contained in the ancient sword manual surging towards him.

After obtaining the sword manual, Ye Lin immediately found an open space. Under the moonlight, his white robe fluttered, and he exuded an indescribable aloofness. He slowly opened the sword manual. The first page contained the powerful words "Exorcise Evil". A chilling aura rushed towards him, shocking his heart.

"The Exorcist Sword Technique uses evil to defeat evil. It requires a clear mind to master it."

Ye Lin muttered to himself, memorizing every word in his heart.

He closed his eyes, concentrated, adjusted his breathing, and tried to immerse his mind in the purest state, isolating himself from the noise of the outside world.

When he opened his eyes again, his gaze became unusually sharp. He slowly drew out the long sword from his waist with both hands. The sword was emitting a cold light, and it looked even sharper under the moonlight.

Ye Lin took a deep breath, shifted his footing, and his figure fluttered like willow catkins. As the first move of the Exorcism Sword Technique, "Evil Spirit Appears," unfolded, the air around him seemed to stagnate. With a flick of his sword tip, a pale blue sword light silently pierced the air and struck a boulder ten steps away.

In an instant, the boulder cracked with a loud bang, and the cracks were as dense as a spider web, and finally turned into powder and drifted away with the wind.

"This... is just the first move?"

Ye Lin was shocked, but a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The power of the Exorcism Sword Technique far exceeded his imagination.

As the night deepened, Ye Lin became more and more immersed in learning swordsmanship.

The second move is "Evil Shadow Mystery". His figure changes into thousands, like a ghost in the night. Every time the sword shadow flashes, the nearby trees fall silently, leaving only the mess on the ground and the sword intent lingering in the air.

At this time, a pair of young men in Taoist robes were walking along the forest path and happened to see this scene.

Their eyes were full of surprise and curiosity.

"Brother, did you see that? That young man's swordsmanship is beyond imagination!" The young disciple whispered, with awe in his eyes.

"Well, this boy is no ordinary person. During the Luotian Grand Ceremony, he may have simply concealed his strength. Now it seems that his cultivation is unfathomable." The senior brother pondered for a moment, his eyes wise. "We should not disturb him. Return to the mountain to report to Master. This man will surely become a great man in the future."

The two exchanged glances and quickly disappeared into the moonlit forest path, leaving behind only the gentle sound of the wind and the occasional roar of animals in the distance.

As he practiced the third move of the Exorcism Sword Technique, "Evil Fire Spreading Across the Prairie," the air around Ye Lin seemed to ignite, a fiery breath rising up, and the grass and trees withered and yellowed under the heat. He focused his mind and body, pointing his sword to the sky, and the energies within him surged like a blazing flame.

Ye Lin was immersed in the practice of his sword moves. Every execution of his Exorcism Sword Technique was like a soul-to-soul dialogue with an ancient tradition. Sword shadows flew, and the faint sound of dragon roars filled the air. The surrounding air was stirred by his sword energy, forming vortexes one after another.

"The evil spirit devours the sky!"

Ye Lin let out a low shout, and the sword energy around him suddenly surged. The vortex of air surrounding him seemed to be summoned, and suddenly accelerated its rotation, forming a series of violent energy whirlwinds.

Under such force, the trees were torn apart like pieces of paper, leaving charred marks on the grass.

Ye Lin sheathed his sword, turned, and landed lightly on a smooth bluestone. Although the surrounding scenery had been shattered beyond recognition by his sword energy, his eyes were unusually calm, as if everything was expected.

He took a deep breath, slowly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and his mind was clear.

Deep within his consciousness, ancient and mysterious patterns gradually emerged. These were the ultimate meaning of the Sword Manual of Exorcism—"Returning Evil Spirits to Their True Self." Every stroke imbued the ultimate truth of heaven and earth. Between the lines, endless sword intent seemed to flow, awaiting interpretation by those destined to understand.

"This... is such a profound sword intent..." Ye Lin exclaimed in his heart. He could feel that these words not only had literal meanings, but were more like portals leading to higher realms of martial arts.

Ye Lin's mind was completely immersed in those ancient and mysterious characters, and everything around him seemed to have ceased to exist.

The ultimate secret of the Sword Manual of Exorcism, "Return of Evil Spirits to Their True Nature", is like a towering mountain, standing in the way of his cultivation, which is both tempting and challenging.

Each character is like the farthest star in the night sky, bright but hard to reach. They flicker in Ye Lin's heart, releasing subtle yet powerful fluctuations of power.

Just as he was staring at these characters, trying to unravel the secrets they concealed, a gust of wind blew by, bringing with it the smell of blood and smoke from a distant battlefield.
