On the second day, Ding Hao spent quite a substantial amount of time searching for the mysterious teenage siblings. Unfortunately, he had never caught sight of Xie Jieyu and Ding Ding, and as such he did not know about the fate of the teenage girls who had suffered so much. He guessed that it was more likely for their fate to have made a turn for the worse—it would be extremely hard for Xie Jieyu to pass the entrance test of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, what with her frail constitution.
The test continued on the third day.
The entire enrolment process of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect lasted for six days.
On the first day, most of the onlookers made the effort to arrive extra early, but on the second day, however, the number of onlookers began to decrease.
An estimated number of more than 40,000 teenagers from a 500-mile radius had turned up over the past six whole days for the entrance test. Eventually, only 2,020 of the teenagers officially passed th
"You've also been assigned to the Eastern Academy of green shirts? 8th Yard? Haha, this is really good. Doesn't this mean that we're roommates now?" Ding Hao said, feeling pleased as well; he had a good impression of the resilient and stubborn teenager. "I still haven't had the opportunity to thank you for giving in to me that time. If it weren't for the 10 bonus points I earned during the test of willpower, I wouldn't have been able to be accepted into the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. Once I get too old, there won't be any hope of me ever becoming a martial artist anymore," Zhang Fan said. He was genuinely, extremely moved. The gentle-looking teenager standing before him who was smiling slightly was someone who had changed his destiny after all. "You don't have to thank me; it was the fruits of your own tenacity. If you had given up from the beginning, I wouldn't have been able to help you in the end anyway," replied Ding Hao
Throughout these three days, other than attending to his basic bodily functions or for his meals and fluid intake, Ding Hao remained in his room to practice his swordsmanship. He had already been living here for more than four years, and he had achieved a very thorough understanding of everything about the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect after merging his memories with the past. There was no more need for him to waste any more time on this aspect. The goal for him now was to make use of all available time to practice and increase his personal strength. The first room turned out to be the best room in the huge yard as expected. As a whole, it was divided into the front hall and back chamber. The front hall was spacious and well-lit; it was most well suited for training. The back chamber was a little more narrow, and there was only a desk and bed made of green stone in it. Obviously, it was to be his resting area. To Ding Hao, every minute and every second was e
"Little brats, since you're almost all here, then I shall introduce myself. From today on, I will be your teacher-in-charge. I'm in charge of all matters regarding cultivation and examination of all disciples on the waiting list in the Eastern Academy of green shirts over the next year. My name is Wang Juefeng, and I am a third generation disciple of the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect." At that, a smile appeared on the bearded burly man's face. To the teenagers, the smile seemed rather ferocious. This was especially because the white teeth of the teacher-in-charge were like sharp and dense knives. He smiled and said, "Little brats, trust me, you'll quickly remember this name well!" Everyone could not help but shudder at this point. Having encountered such a teacher-in-charge, it was likely that they would have hard times in the next year. "Very well, it seems that you all already know that you'll be enduring hardships. Then, le
Below the arena, Wang Xiaoqi and the other teens beside him started to cheer loudly. They had already formed a group with Zhuo Yifeng as their leader. They naturally had to scream as loud as they could to boost the morale of their leader. The cynical teacher-in-charge, Wang Juefeng glanced at Ding Hao, and a playful and amused look flashed in the depths of his eyes. Then, he shrugged at Zhuo Yifeng and indicated for the others to move away, leaving behind the arena to Ding Hao and Zhuo Yifeng. The martial arts competition began. "Rascal, just concede. Otherwise, if we really fight, I might accidentally hurt you." Zhuo Yifeng strode to the middle of the arena and planted himself there. He laughed coldly, looking down at Ding Hao. He ranked 107 on the overall rankings, which was below Ding Hao. However, he had always felt that the overall rankings of the sect entrance examination did not befit his true abilities. Only by entering the top 50
Wang Xaioqi lowered his head in the crowd, not daring to look at Ding Hao. His eyes shone, no one knew what he was thinking about. Then, someone in the crowd below the arena jumped up, challenging the top ten. The challenger was a young man who had sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes. He had a dignified manner. He wore green robes and held a long sword in his hand. He looked handsome and imposing. However, his expression was rather cold. Even though he did not reveal anything, but he made one feel as if a piece of ancient ice block had suddenly appeared on the arena. There was a coldness that radiated from the depth of his soul, keeping others several thousand miles away. "Fang Tianyi!" The cold youth announced his name and pulled out his long sword from its scabbard and pointed it at Ding Hao. The person he chose to challenge was still Ding Hao. "Damn it, why did they all choose me? Could it be that I was bor
On the arena. Ding Hao did not attack again. He held the hilt in his palms and saluted with his hands folded together. He smiled slightly and said, "Great sword technique! You're really good, perhaps we can be friends and learn from each other often in the future." "I can't ask for anything better." Fang Tianyi did not speak much. He nodded at Ding Hao and then turned to jump off the arena. Below the arena. The way the youths looked at Fang Tianyi had changed as well. Their eyes were filled with respect and awe. Even though he had lost, he had done it graciously. The sword technique that he had shown was a rank or even a realm higher than most. If he had not encountered an expert like Ding Hao, he would no doubt have won. There was a short pause, and suddenly, loud applause and cheers filled the room. Everyone cheered for the battle of swordsmanship. The exciting martial arts contest had also ignited the will to wi
"The Qi produced after two hours or so of cultivation is already more than that of all of the Qi together from the past 10 days. What an awesome "Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture"! It is indeed a peak level martial arts formula of the human realm. It is indeed amazing." An unprecedented feeling of strength flowed through Ding Hao's body. "The Seed of Qi is about to reach fulfillment. After this, I should charge the first meridians of martial arts, the first meridian of Hand's Minor Yin." Only by opening the meridians and apertures could he truly enter the path of martial arts. Otherwise, no matter how powerful one's sword techniques were, without the use of Qi, it was but just a skill and did not possess any strength. Before a true powerhouse, he would not be able to pierce through their skin with a stroke, much less kill him. The "First Meridian of Hand's Minor Yin" started from the dantian. The first level o
The Holy Spring aperture was the first roadblock every beginner cultivator encountered. Ding Hao also felt that when the Qi was led to this place, it was like a rushing river that crashed into a dam. The river was stopped by the dam. Ding Hao quickly recalled the technique on charging and clearing the Holy Spring aperture listed in "Taixuan Sword-seeking Scripture". His expression quickly grew solemn. He had activated the Qi according to the technique, turning them into tendrils and directing them carefully around the "dam". Ding Hao felt that the blockage here was like a large round planet. The Qi turned into thousands of wisps under his control, carefully surrounding the planet. Then, the planet started to disintegrate slowly, part by part, melting little by little. This was a very slow process. Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the silver moon set and the sun rose. The light that shone through
