nAcademy Competition

nYe Qiubai’s name quickly spread throughout the entire academy.

nCountless people were amazed by this person’s strength.

nIt was as if he was already invincible in the Golden Core Pill realm!

nSword Hall.

nAfter Xin Hongyi heard this news,

n“Is Ye Qiubai the disciple that the Cottage took in on that day…”

n“However, if he can do it, I can definitely do better than him.”

n“I’ll let you know how much of a loss it was to not take me in as your disciple that day.”

nWith that, Xin Hongyi picked up a sword and went straight to the martial arts arena.

nThat day, Xin Hongyi’s name also spread throughout the entire academy.

n10 battles, 10 victories, all crushed!

nXin Hongyi announced on the martial arts arena that she would challenge Ye Qiubai in the academy’s competition!

nEveryone was in an uproar.

nOn the other side, in the Martial Hall.

nIn a courtyard, Ye Yan sat on the stone chair, his expression uncertain.

n“Ye Qiubai! How is this possible? How is this possible?!”

nHe had seen with his own eyes the scene of Ye Qiubai’s talent disappearing and losing his cultivation!

nHow many days had it been?

nHe had already reached the peak of the Golden Core Pill realm and shone brightly in the academy!

n“No, I can’t let him return to the family alive…”

nThe Ye family was in an internal struggle for power.

nGreat Elder Ye Ling and the current Patriarch, Ye Qing, were fighting for the power of the family.

nYe Qing was at a disadvantage because of his son, Ye Qiubai.

nHowever, once the old fellows of the family found out that Ye Qiubai had recovered his talent and was even stronger than before, the situation might be reversed.

n“If that’s the case…”

nYe Yan’s eyes were filled with malice.

nAt the same time, various cultivation techniques and martial techniques of the Academy were stored in the Martial Arts Pavilion.

nYe Qiubai had obtained a large number of contribution points, so he naturally wanted to come to the academy to take a look at the martial techniques here.

nYe Qiubai walked around the cultivation technique area a few times.

nAfter reading a few books, there was no lack of Earth-Tier cultivation techniques.

n“As expected of the Hidden Dao Academy. These cultivation techniques are much stronger than the cultivation techniques of the aristocratic families and sects in the outside world.”

nThe Ye family’s cultivation technique was a Mystic-Tier cultivation technique.

nHowever, Ye Qiubai was not interested in these at all. The difference between these and the Primordial Sword Scripture was too great after all.

nWhat level of cultivation technique is this Primordial Sword Scripture…

nHis master was really mysterious.

nHe did not know what level his strength had reached to be able to take out a cultivation technique like the Primordial Sword Scripture and even draw a painting filled with concepts.

nThinking of this, Ye Qiubai respected Lu Changsheng even more.

nLu Changsheng, who was lying in the Cottage sun, suddenly sneezed.

n“Yawn! Which little brat is scolding me?”

nYe Qiubai was attracted by a separate incomplete book when he passed by the martial arts area.

nHe walked over, picked up the scripture and opened it. He saw that there was only the cultivation method for the first to third sword moves.

nYe Qiubai thought for a moment. It was too tiring for him to use the sword skills in the Primordial Sword Scripture now. Some of them could not be used at all.

nHe might as well use this Nine Heavenly Demon Sword to transition first.

nThinking of this, Ye Qiubai took the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword and walked out. When he handed over the contribution points, the elder guarding the pavilion said, “This scroll is incomplete. Even the Hidden Dao Academy doesn’t have the last six moves. Whether you can master the last six moves in the future will depend on your luck. Are you sure you want to take this book?”

nYe Qiubai nodded.

nSeeing this, the elder guarding the pavilion stopped persuading him. He handed the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword to Ye Qiubai and continued to sit down to rest.

nWhen Ye Qiubai returned to the Cottage, Lu Changsheng was fertilizing the willow tree and feeding the little bird with spiritual fruits.

n“Sigh, a tree still needs me to apply spiritual soil. A mere little bird wants to eat spiritual fruits. What a prodigal.”

nThe little bird flapped its fiery red wings to express its dissatisfaction.

nSeeing Ye Qiubai walk over, Lu Changsheng threw the spiritual soil to him and said, “Come and see me after you’re done.”

nYe Qiubai nodded.

nAfter everything was completed, he went to search for Lu Changsheng.

nLu Changsheng lay on the bench and said, “I heard that you went to the martial arts arena today? How were your results?”

nYe Qiubai cupped his fists and said respectfully, “I didn’t disgrace the name of the Cottage. I won all of them.

n“Master, I have something else to ask.”

nWith that, he took out the incomplete volume of the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword and asked, “I took this from the martial arts area just now. I want Master to guide me.”

nLu Changsheng glanced at it and took it. “Incomplete volume?”

nIncomplete Nine Heavenly Demon Sword Scroll. It can be repaired and improved.

nThe system has such a function?

n“Repair.”

nWith that, the remaining six moves of the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword appeared in his mind.

n“Come here.”

nYe Qiubai walked forward and Lu Changsheng pointed at Ye Qiubai’s glabella. A large amount of information flowed into Ye Qiubai’s sea of consciousness.

nThe Nine Heavenly Demon Sword was completely rolled up!

nThen, Lu Changsheng picked up a branch and dismantled it according to the sword technique of the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword.

nYe Qiubai watched from the side and was shocked.

nThis was because the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword that Lu Changsheng used not only perfectly replicated the contents of the incomplete volume, but it was also a little more mysterious and stronger than the original!

nAfter all nine swords were used,

nLu Changsheng put away his sword and said, “Its power is alright. It’s enough for you to use for a while. Also, the Academy Competition is in two days. Prepare yourself and go cook. I’m hungry.”

nWith that, Lu Changsheng walked into the straw house.

nTwo days later.

nYe Qiubai kept cultivating the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword.

nOn the day of the academy competition, Ye Qiubai could already use the fifth move of the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword.

n“Unfortunately, with my current realm, I can only barely use the fifth move.”

nThinking of how relaxed Lu Changsheng was when he used the Nine Heavenly Demon Sword, he sighed inwardly that he still had a long way to go.

nThe Academy Competition was held in the square of the Hidden Dao Academy.

nThe square was currently noisy with countless people surrounding the six high platforms.

nThese six high platforms meant that a total of six people would win this Academy Competition.

nThe six people who won would represent the Southern Region’s Hidden Dao Academy to participate in the exchanges between the other academies in the Northern Region.

nIt was called an exchange, but it was actually a battle to snatch the resources of the Academy.

nQin Tiannan appeared in midair and said loudly, “There are six platforms here. The people who are still standing on them before the sun sets will win. There are no restrictions, but no deaths.”

nAfter that, Qin Tiannan announced the rewards for the victor.

nEveryone was in an uproar immediately. The rewards this time were much higher than usual.

nThe Academy Competition began.

nHowever, no one moved.

nThe results would only be announced after the sunset. If he went up now, he would only be surrounded. This way, even if he could defeat them, he would be exhausted to death by the others…

nQin Tiannan and the elders of the various halls sat on a chair not far away and also pulled Lu Changsheng over.

nHis face was filled with unwillingness.

n“Alright, I won’t say anything about you usually. Your disciple is participating today. Aren’t you going to take a look yourself as his master?”

nQin Tiannan could not help but smile when he saw Lu Changsheng’s resentment. “I also want to see how far your disciple can go in the competition.”
