C131 Sword Master Ling Shan
Although he wasn't accepted as a disciple by the elders, he had obtained the right to receive guidance from the elders. This meant that even if he cultivated in different directions, he would still be able to receive guidance and help.
As for the resources needed for cultivation, he could use his own strength to fight for them. Without the identity of an elder's disciple, could it be that he wouldn't be able to survive in Hongtian Academy?
In the next few days, those who participated in the Life and Death Forest's examination had returned one after another. Wang Ruier and Lei Mann had also returned to the venue. Their bodies were covered in blood. Obviously, they had all experienced a fierce battle.
To the higher ups of the Hongtian Academy, they were actually happy to see such a scene. The rise of any genius would surely be stepping on the corpses of countless people. If they weren't bathed in blood, how could they talk about martial arts?
This was also the reason why the disciples of some major powers had the advantage. The disciples of the major factions were protected by their families and factions. No one would dare to touch them, as such geniuses would rise faster and not die prematurely.
What the Hongtian Academy wanted to nurture wasn't the geniuses that relied on their families to grow. Instead, it was a true warrior who had experienced life and death. He would ring the war drum and experience life and death. Only then could he step foot into the academy. Only those who had stepped into the Genuine Martial Stage could be considered to have stepped onto the path of martial arts.
Three hundred and sixty students came out very quickly. They also remembered a name, Zhuo Mu.
In the Life and Death Forest, the top genius of the Iron Sword Mountain, Guu Ling, had shaken the world and asked Han Feng to come out.
After that, many people were watching this battle, and they had witnessed Han Feng defeat Guu Ling. Guu Ling was killed by an unknown expert.
Although the life and death of the people in Life and Death Forest was hard to predict, there were always some people. is thought to be unable to surpass, unable to defeat. There were always some people in this world who could become invincible in the big stage. Furthermore, when they stepped into the next big stage, they would also erupt with a dazzling light.
Guu Ling was one of them, but he was defeated by Zhuo Mu. Among the new students in Hongtian Academy, Han Feng had long regarded him as an undefeatable legend.
If they were only praising Han Feng's talent in the first round of the exam, then they had witnessed how powerful Han Feng was in the second round.
Perhaps, there should be one more person amongst the nine super geniuses. Furthermore, this person's ranking would not be lower than the top three.
All the Astral Martial Stage elders had already left the venue. Only Loong Yi was looking at the 360 students who had completed the test, and a smile appeared on his face.
...
Tens of thousands of miles away, there were nine mountains that were connected to each other. Each mountain was shaped like a spiritual sword, and its sword intent was extremely powerful. If one got closer, it would be corroded by the boundless sword intent.
This place was one of the most powerful powers in the surrounding dozens of cities, and it was the place where countless Sword Cultivator would pay their respects. There were nine sword mountains, and nine sword masters. Their sword arts were extraordinary, and their magical powers were boundless.
There was a mountain peak among the nine iron swords. It was the Ling Mountain, and it was the place that Sword Lord of Ling Mountain was in charge of. Sword Lord of Ling Mountain had countless disciples under his command, and there were even many Spiritual Martial Stage disciples. They had been nurtured since young, and hoped that they could strengthen the Ling Mountain.
Among the numerous Spiritual Martial Stage disciples, there was a pair of brothers that Sword Lord of Ling Mountain deeply loved. These two brothers were Guu Ling and Guu Chen.
"They haven't come out yet?" Sword Lord of Ling Mountain's eldest disciple, Yu Kang, came to Trial Land and asked the people of the True Martial Sect who were guarding it.
The people of the True Martial Sect knew that Yu Kang was asking Guu Ling and Guu Chen.
These two men had the potential to break through to the Genuine Martial Stage in the coming year. The two brothers had hidden their unique physiques, and Sword Lord of Ling Mountain had taken them seriously. Everyone at the foot of the mountain of Ling Mountain knew about this. Therefore, they were all flattering Guu Ling and Guu Chen tonight.
These True Martial Disciples had been observing the two of them. They wanted to see whether Guu Ling and ___ had come out or not. However, they still hadn't received any news about them after a few days. Not only that, but the Spiritual Martial Stage disciples who had entered with Guu Chen also hadn't come back.
"They haven't come out yet." The True Martial disciples' reply made Yu Kang's facial expression freeze for a moment. He hadn't come out yet.
"Could it be that someone has killed them in Life and Death Forest?" This thought flashed across Yu Kang's mind. However, he quickly denied this idea. Guu Ling was an invincible Spiritual Martial Stage. How could someone kill him?
Furthermore, it was impossible for a single person to leave the lives of all the disciples of Iron Sword Mountain behind. It was very likely that some major power was targeting the Iron Sword Mountain.
Such a major power could be counted on one's fingers.
"All of you, keep an eye on me. I'll go back and report to my master and see what happened in Life and Death Forest." Yu Kang instructed the disciples of the True Martial Sect. Then, he took a step forward, stepped on a huge sword, and flew into the sky.
After a short while, Yu Kang arrived at the peak of Ling Mountain. There was an empty room there. There was only one person sitting cross-legged inside, and he was emitting a terrifying sword intent.
This person was wearing a long silver robe. There was a sharp sword embroidered on his robe. It looked lifelike, and it seemed as if it could transform into a real sword that could cut the sky.
"Greetings, Master." Yu Kang bowed to this man. This man was Sword Lord of Ling Mountain.0
"What's wrong? Has Guu Ling not returned yet?" Sword Lord of Ling Mountain asked indifferently.
" Master, the two of them haven't left Life and Death Forest yet. " Yu Kang looked troubled, but he still answered respectfully.
"They have been in the Life and Death Forest for so many days, but they still haven't come out?" Sword Lord of Ling Mountain's words seemed to contain endless sword intent, causing people's hearts to tremble.
Yu Kang nodded his head in fear. Sword Lord of Ling Mountain snorted coldly. He waved his sleeve and an Ancient Mirror appeared. The bronze mirror couldn't reflect anything.
Sword Lord of Ling Mountain flicked his finger and a small sword shot into the Ancient Mirror. A person appeared on the Ancient Mirror. It was Guu Ling.
However, Guu Ling was already a dead man. Many precious items on his body had been taken away.
"Who is it?!" Sword Lord of Ling Mountain couldn't help but roar when he saw this scene. It was as if a huge sword had appeared in the Ling Mountain. The sword Qi swept across the void, as if it was going to tear the sky apart.
Even though Yu Kang was only a step away from breaking through to the Astral Martial Stage, his heart still trembled under Sword Lord of Ling Mountain's might, as if his blood was going to explode.
On the Ling Mountain, countless people suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Sword Lord of Ling Mountain shouted, and the sound waves rolled out, as if it could cause mountains to collapse.
"Go and find out who it is, who dared to kill my disciple!" Sword Lord of Ling Mountain gave the order, and his voice spread across the entire Ling Mountain. In an instant, several figures flew out, turned into rays of light, and disappeared from the Ling Mountain.
In less than a day, Sword Lord of Ling Mountain found out a name, Zhuo Mu.
"Spiritual Martial Stage Level Eight? Comprehend the Devil Dao Will?" Sword Lord of Ling Mountain's eyes were filled with a terrifying cold light. His disciple, a Peak of Spiritual Martial Stage genius, was killed by a First Grade Spiritual Martial Stage Level Eight. How could he still have any face left?
The disciples under Sword Lord of Ling Mountain kept quiet out of fear. If it was an ordinary disciple... It would be fine if he died, but Sword Lord of Ling Mountain had lived for a hundred and fifty years. He only started taking in disciples in the past thirty years, but very few of them could inherit his great cause. Even Yu Kang's talent was lacking.
At this moment, Sword Lord of Ling Mountain discovered Guu Ling. This kid... He was born with a wonderful constitution and was very suitable for sword cultivation. He could even reach the legendary realm. For this reason, Sword Lord of Ling Mountain asked Guu Ling to step into the Life and Death Forest and let him experience it for a while. He wanted to help ___ condense a perfect Vital Energy. Those with enough talent did not need to go through the Half-step Genuine Martial Stage. Geniuses could directly condense a perfect Heavenly Stellar Vital Energy.
However, Guu Ling was killed by someone. This was like cold water splashing onto Sword Lord of Ling Mountain's head. He didn't hesitate to kill the murderer at all costs.
"Investigate again! Tell me, what is the origin of this Zhuo Mu?" Sword Lord of Ling Mountain's expression was ice-cold, causing the hearts of everyone to sink. After so many years, this was the first time they had seen Sword Lord of Ling Mountain get so angry.
At the same time, Han Feng was cultivating in his restaurant. He had obtained the attribute points from the system, and his cultivation had finally broken through to the Spiritual Martial Stage Level Nine.
He was one step closer to condensing the Heavenly Stellar Vital Energy.
"All of my attributes are at 81 points. If I can't obtain a large amount of attribute points at one go, I will definitely have to go through the 91st to the 100th stage. This is the corresponding stats of a Half-step Genuine Martial Stage. However, in order to condense a perfect Heavenly Stellar Vital Energy, he would need to directly break through to the Genuine Martial Stage from the Peak of Spiritual Martial Stage. Instead of condensing the embryonic form of the Vital Energy, one needs to slowly stabilize it." Han Feng muttered to himself, his tone filled with doubt.
Half-step Genuine Martial Stage seemed to be an important step from the Peak of Spiritual Martial Stage to the Genuine Martial Stage Level One, but it was a hindrance to those with extraordinary talent.
"As long as I accumulate enough attribute points and accumulate a certain amount, I'll be able to break through to the ___. I can directly break through to the Genuine Martial Stage, and I don't need to go through the Half-step Genuine Martial Stage." Han Feng thought of an idea, although it would affect his cultivation speed. However, it was able to allow him to condense a perfect Astral Nova Vital Energy.
In the Genuine Martial Stage, the difference between the two realms would be greater. The control and utilization of martial intent would affect one's combat strength. The perfection of the Vital Energy would also affect one's combat strength. If he could save himself from the bottleneck of the Half-step Genuine Martial Stage, Han Feng was confident. When he had just entered the Genuine Martial Stage, he would be able to kill Genuine Martial Stage Level Two warriors.
Thinking of this, Han Feng felt a lot better. He stopped cultivating and headed towards the Hongtian Academy. After a few days, all three hundred and sixty people should be here.
"They're here." Seeing Han Feng's arrival, Loong Yi slightly nodded his head. He was the only one left.
"I'm very happy that all the young men from the Hongtian Academy can join us. I believe that in less than ten years, all of you here will become important figures in the Tianfeng City. However, you have to know that entering the Hongtian Academy won't reduce the effort you put in. On the contrary, you must work very hard to obtain the resources you need. Talent is something that a warrior is born with, and it cannot be changed. But your perseverance and perseverance... It is a magical treasure that can always accompany you, allowing you to continuously break through your shackles and break through to a higher realm."
Loong Yi's words were a suggestion and also a warning. He did not wish for Hongtian Academy to recruit a group of idiots who relied on their talent. Only by having a strong heart of martial arts could a martial artist walk further.
"Alright, next is the third round of assessment. In this round of assessment, no one can decide whether you will pass or not. If you want any resources, you can fight for them yourself. For example, the cultivation palace."
As soon as Loong Yi's voice faded, everyone's expression became serious. There was no such thing as passing the third round, as long as they fought for it!
