"Huh? Is that actually true?"
"Otherwise, why do you think the 2000 disciples on the waiting list are divided into five academies? How come there are barely any authorities in the academies, but a few teachers? This kind of hands-off management is perfect for disciples who are truly powerful. Only after unifying his academy and gaining the support of all its disciples, can he be worthy of the title of the top disciple, of eventually joining the core disciples, and of obtaining our sect's true legacy and magic skills!
"Huh. How come I don't know all of this?"
"You're just a glutton who eats all day. If you asked the third-generation disciples, you would have known."
"Why should I go ask since you can tell me?" said the chubby young man with a pout. "Hey, honestly, you're probably so critical of my eating because I still manage to stay slim."
"Damn it, you're almost as fat as a pig!"
Ding Hao was very surprised. He thought his eyes were deceiving him and continued sending his Ice Qi into the Fate Sea aperture. However, the result was the same as before. When the Ice Qi reached the second Fate Sea aperture, it disappeared completely, not matter how much he sent or how hard he tried. How strange! How could this happen? Ding Hao forced himself to calm down and tried to think though this problem. The only explanation he could think of was the strange incident in the cave under the Great Abyss, especially with the strange saber and sword shadows and the constant sound of arguing. Was that where the problem lay? At this thought, something shocking suddenly happened that almost scared the wits out of Ding Hao. "Oh wow, this boy is pretty smart!" chirped a clear male voice in his head, without any warning. ... Ding Hao was so terrified that he almost jumped out of bed like a startled
"It's beneficial in a... very good and practical way. You'll know this in future," said the male voice. He sounded as if he wanted to continue speaking but did not. "That's right. Rest assured, we are inside your body but bear no ill intentions. Instead, you start to gain many benefits, and when the time is right and conditions are met, we'll leave your body," said the female voice in a gentle tone she rarely used till now. "I know what the young chap is worried about." "You can rest assured that we'll definitely not engage in despicable tricks like possessing your body." "That's true. Who cares about the weak carcasses of you humans?" "That's right. To think that I used to possess a body sharp enough to slice through metal. One must know that I was made of divine meteoric steel combined with 1000 other stunning materials..." the female voice said. "Ahem... young chap, if you r
The male voice laughed loudly, saying, "Don't bother about that crazy woman... Naturally, what you have to do is to open the second set to train up your meridians, simulate the second Qi Seed, and master the second form of mystical energy to satisfy the constitutional restrictions of the 'Holy Double Manifestation of Saber and Sword'. Then, all your obstacles will naturally be overcome." "I implore both of you seniors to teach me how to open up the second training system in myself?" asked Ding Hao sincerely. "Hahaha, good kid. You're impatient, though. Don't you wish to ask how you would differ from ordinary folk after opening up the second training system in yourself?" said the male voice. He sounded extremely pleased with Ding Hao's choice, but he had not forgotten to remind the youth solemnly. "I believe that both of you seniors will never harm me," replied Ding Hao with a straight face. The two voices in his hea
"Many thanks for your advice, elder. I understand now," replied Ding Hao with a nod. "You, very despicable person, have been speaking badly about me behind my back again," the female voice, which had been silent for a long while, said. She would not give in, and immediately issued her rebuke upon hearing the male voice talking about her. "Obviously I said that in your face. How could I speak behind your back?" The male voice replied as he laughed loudly and proudly. "..." The female voice was silent. "..." Ding Hao was speechless. "Why don't we do it like this? Kid, in future, you address me as Sword Master, and the crazy woman as Saber Master, to avoid mixing things up when we talk next time. We will also know who you're speaking to in this manner..." the male voice said. "Damn you! I'm still in my prime. Saber Master sounds too old for me. Call me Saber Fairy instead, wahahaha..." "Saber Fairy? I spit on that thought. You're a crazy
"The top ranking disciple in the Southern Academy of purple shirts is known as Lyu Kuang. Many followers from the Southern Academy have gathered by his side, and it is said that he is already secretly in control of one-quarter of its disciples. Other than Lyu Kuang, the other disciples that are the most well-liked and active are Nan Mengzheng, Dong Yi, Wang Xiaoshi, and a few others. They possess a certain level of strength." "The Northern Academy of yellow shirts is not united, but there's a fatso known as Ren Xiaoyao and a teenager called Lin Xin. They have been very active these few days. They are also very strong and have been trying to contact the other disciples of the Northern Academy!" "As for the Western Academy of red shirts, there's nothing really special about it. There's nobody there worth focusing your attention on, and rumor has it that all of their 10 seed candidates are not very strong." After finishing reporting in one go, Zhang Tianlun also pr
The fire force only took less than an hour to dredge one-eighteenth of the Ren Meridian and arrive at Zhongji, the first aperture of Ren Meridian. According to the cultivation method recorded in the "One Saber to Begin Your Journey Technique", the fire force constantly tried to dredge that condensed and solid aperture and refined the impurities. Time passed quickly. It was again at dawn. Ding Hao's body was giving out heat that made the air moist and shone with faintly red as if he was in a steamer. The temperature in the room had gradually reached very high. When the first rays of the sun came in from the window and fell on Ding Hao's body. Boom! Ding Hao's figure shook a little. He opened his eyes with a smile. "Haha, Finally! I've made it!" Zhongji, the first aperture of Ren Meridian, one of the six extra-channels, was finally thoroughly refined. That aperture, which was originally filled with impurities, was n
They were dressed in pale gold robes, about 30 years old, with majestic faces, long hairs floating before their chests. There were waves of powerful Qi, swaying around their bodies, and even distorting the sunlight around them. All the nominal disciples were so nervous that they breathed slightly. Ding Hao felt like he choked, as if three ancient mountains were in front of him. The ice Qi in his lower dantian and the fire Qi in his middle dantian were both being suppressed, so they began making instinctive moves. They started to violently flow in the meridians and apertures as a resistance. Like thunder, they resisted instinctively. He hurried to suppress the two forces with his remaining energy to slowly stabilize the Qi. "That's horrible! The three cultivations must be more than primordial grandmasters. They must have reached incredible realms. Swordsmanship-seeking Sect's experts are as common as the clouds!"
It was at the same time. The three third-gen core inner circle martial experts, including Yin Yifei, all returned to the magnificent auditorium which had been built beside the Hall of Military Affairs. They greeted a few dozens of outer elders, inner elders, other third-gen experts of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, and secular elders of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect who came from down the hill. Then, they took their seats and awaited the commencement of the game. After 15 minutes, the bell rang magnificently one more time inside the Hall of Military Affairs. Finally, the thrilling competition of the five academies was about to begin. Soon, on the announcement stone tablet in the center of the Hall of Military Affairs, the competition arrangement of the first round was presented. In the first round, 50 seeded fighters from five academies would be divided into 25 groups. They would fight in pairs to complete the first round. Li Lan, who was the most
