Translator: 549690339
Hearing Yang Xiaotian saying that no one would be able to hurt him in the academy contest, Chen Changqing, Lin Yong, and others exchanged glances and smiled bitterly. At a time like this, their Hall Master still had the mood for jokes.
Lin Yong said to Yang Xiaotian with a serious face, “Hall Master, we have news that for this academy contest, there are over 140,000 disciples from Divine Sea Country registered to participate, and ninety percent of them are at the Innate Seventh Layer.”
“There are thousands of disciples at the Innate Tenth Layer.” “And there are six to seven hundred at the Martial King Realm.”
Yang Xiaotian was surprised, “Six to seven hundred Martial Kings?”
In the past, it was good to have three hundred at the Martial King Realm for Divine Sea Country’s academy contest. This time there were six to seven hundred.
Chen Changqing said with a bitter smile, “More than two months ago, news about the Hall Master participating in the academy contest spread, which led many families, sects, and academy disciples of Divine Sea Country to register for participation. They all have been crazily cultivating day and night without leaving their homes.”
“So many of the disciples originally at the Innate Tenth Layer have broken through to the Martial King Realm.”
Hearing this, Yang Xiaotian laughed, “Oh, is that so? Well, that’s great. I never thought that my registration for the academy contest would result in a few hundred more Martial Kings in our Divine Sea Country.”
Seeing Yang Xiaotian unconcerned, Lin Yong added, “We heard that a few months ago, Cheng Long was expelled from his master by Jiang Yu. Cheng Long bears a deep grudge against the Hall Master. He believes that his expulsion is all because of the Hall Master.”
“If the Hall Master participates in this academy contest, he will probably act against you.”
In fact, not just Cheng Long, there were plenty of people who wished for Yang Xiaotian’s death.
Ordinarily, these people wouldn’t dare to take action openly, but Yang Xiaotian’s participation in the academy contest gave them the opportunity to do so.
“Oh, is that so.” Yang Xiaotian laughed at the news that Cheng Long would be against him.
“Hall Master, Cheng Long is no simple opponent; he should be at the peak of the Martial King Triple Layer. Also, Yunhui Academy has always had a grudge against our Divine Sword Academy. If the Hall Master participates in the academy contest, the disciples from Yunhui Academy will probably also act against you,” Chen Yuan advised. “During the academy contest, we must enter the Demon Hunting Ground, and we won’t be able to ensure the Hall Master’s safety.”
“I hope the Hall Master considers it seriously.”
Yang Xiaotian looked at Chen Changqing, Lin Yong, and Chen Yuan, and smiled, “I’ve considered it very clearly already.”
Seeing that Chen Changqing was about to speak again, Yang Xiaotian said, “Alright, let’s not talk about the academy contest anymore.” He then took out a hundred Dortions of too-grade Foundation Building SDiritual Liauid and
handed them to Lin Yong, “As the Master of Sword Hall, I’ve only been focused on rigorous sword cultivation during these days, and I couldn’t mentor the academy students. Here are a hundred portions of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, a gift for the academy.”
A hundred portions of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid!
Lin Yong and the others were astonished.
“Hall Master, this… you’ve already done enough for the academy. We haven’t even used up the twenty portions of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid you gave last time,” Lin Yong refused, “We can’t take more from you.”
But Yang Xiaotian shook his head, “Take it, please. If I can make it into the top ten in this academy contest and pass the assessment from Tiandou Academy, I will rarely return here after that.”
Lin Yong, Chen Yuan, and Chen Changqing exchanged glances, somewhat speechless.
They were still worried about Yang Xiaotian’s safety in this academy contest, yet there he was, already planning on making it to the top ten and then passing the assessment from Tiandou Academy.
In the end, Lin Yong accepted the hundred portions of top-grade Foundation
Building Spiritual Liquid, expressing his gratitude to Yang Xiaotian, “Hall
Master, on behalf of the academy students, I thank you.”
A hundred portions of top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid could improve many aspects of the academy.
Yang Xiaotian waved his hand, “Let’s not bother with formalities.”
After a while, Chen Changqing and the others left.
Yang Xiaotian summoned Wu Qi, Luo Qing, and a few others, instructing them to prepare for a trip to the Royal City tomorrow.
After all, the academy contest wasn’t far off, and many family and sect disciples had already set out.
Later, Yang Xiaotian also visited his parents’ courtyard to inform them about his trip to the Royal City tomorrow. Upon returning from his parents’ courtyard and passing by the Golden Armored Beast’s yard, he saw Xiao Jin licking a super-sized lollipop inside.
Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but sweat.
Ever since his sister, Yang Ling’er, arrived more than two months ago, she imparted this particular hobby to Xiao Jin, the little one.
Xiao Jin now couldn’t live without sugar.
“Young Master,” Xiao Jin stood up quickly as he saw Yang Xiaotian approaching.
Over the past few months, Xiao Jin had become quite fluent in speaking.
“How is the cultivation of the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Palm coming along?” Yang Xiaotian asked.
Xiao Jin had a great capacity for comprehension, and within a few months, he had already cultivated several styles of fist and palm techniques.
Recently, he had been practicing the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Palm.
Xiao Jin nodded earnestly, “Young Master, I have cultivated the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Palm to the Perfection Realm.”
Yang Xiaotian was astonished.
He had only taught Xiao Jin this Innate Top Martial Technique, the Great Mercy and Great Compassion Palm, less than ten days ago, and Xiao Jin had already cultivated it to the Perfection Realm?
“Young Master, are we going to the Royal City tomorrow?” Xiao Jin suddenly asked: “Does the Royal City also have a lot of candy?”
Yang Xiaotian smiled, “The Royal City does have a lot of candy.” Now, this little fellow, just like Ling’er, hardly ever stopped talking about candy.
“But eating candy is bad for your teeth,” Yang Xiaotian said, “and eating too much will make you fat.”
Xiao Jin, however, laughed, “My teeth are very sharp, and no matter how much
I eat, I never get fat.”
Indeed, that was the truth; as Xiao Jin continued his cultivation, his entire body became sharper, and his size remained the same as when Yang Xiaotian first met him.
After leaving Xiao Jin’s courtyard, Yang Xiaotian returned to his room and sat cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art.
The Black Tortoise and Black Dragon Martial Spirits hovered in the air, devouring the spiritual energy of the Nine Heavens.
After breaking through to the Martial King Realm, the Black Tortoise and Black
Dragon Martial Spirits underwent another transformation; the Black Tortoise Martial Soul’s shell was covered in runes, looking from a distance like a piece of black land hidden with countless mysteries.
As for the Black Dragon Martial Spirit, its legs were thick and sharp, and its dragon eyes even had a flame of gold.
It was the first time that Yang Xiaotian had seen a dragon with golden flames in its eyes.
The night passed uneventfully.
The next day, Yang Xiaotian and his companions began their journey.
This time, Yang Xiaotian brought quite a few people with him: himself, his parents, Xiao Jin, Wu Qi, Liu An and his five disciples, Ate, Ali, Luo Qing, Liao Kun, and Zhang Jingrong—six people in total.
Seventeen people altogether.
Considering the inconvenience for his parents, Yang Xiaotian purchased a luxurious carriage, while the others, more than a dozen, rode on horses.
All the horses were exceptional top-quality steeds.
However, Yang Xiaotian was not entirely satisfied with his mount; he had been secluding himself for arduous cultivation in Divine Sword City and hadn’t had the chance to subdue a Mount Beast in the Red Moon Forest.
Now, it could only be postponed until after the academy’s grand competition.
After the end of the grand competition, when he traveled to the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom, he would take the opportunity to subdue two Mount Beasts in the Red Moon Forest.
Watching Xiao Jin sitting atop the Dragon Horse, Yang Xiaotian couldn’t help but find it amusing.
A dragon beast sitting on a horse was somewhat odd.
The group proceeded on their way.
As they passed a three-way intersection on a mountain road, they encountered people from Yunhui Academy.
Leading the group was none other than the headmaster of Yunhui Academy, Cai Hao, and vice headmaster Luo Junpeng.
Behind Luo Junpeng followed Deng Yichun and a group of Yunhui Academy students. There were nearly a hundred people, all of whom appeared to be the inner court students of Yunhui Academy participating in the Divine Sea Country’s academy competition this time..
