343: C343 The Road to the Peak

C343 The Road to the Peak

"Huh? Is that so?" Shui Qingxin was somewhat puzzled. She was indeed somewhat innocent and did not understand the meaning behind her senior brothers' words. She thought that Lin Xuan really only liked one person.

However, at this moment, Lin Xuan shook his head and laughed. He said faintly: "It's fine. There's no meaning in being alone. It's better to travel with you all to relieve your boredom."

Lin Xuan's words immediately made the few of them speechless. Their faces were ashen and filled with regret. They should have pretended not to see just now. Why did they still come over to acknowledge him?

Wasn't he asking for it?

Now that Lin Xuan had agreed to travel with them, they did not dare to openly stop him. Not only did they fear offending their junior sister, but they were also afraid of Lin Xuan himself.

One should know that this was a god of slaughter!

There was more than one foreign race that had died under his hands, and it was so powerful that it made them despair!

"If that's the case... then Mr. Lin, please don't mind us being noisy!"

One of them was a bit older, and had a long beard. He wore embroidered clothing, and looked like a senior disciple of the sect. He wore a bitter expression on his face.

"Haha, of course not. This senior brother is really worrying too much."

Lin Xuan laughed loudly. Seeing that he was older, he didn't have the arrogance of an expert. Instead, he was very approachable and addressed him as senior brother.

Just like this, a group of people strolled leisurely in the academy, enjoying the great scenery and sighing from time to time.

"I really want to stay in such a precious place forever. This is the true paradise!"

"Yeah, everything was born with the ability to transform into all sorts of spirit and brilliance. Such a paradise is truly miraculous!"

The stream gurgled, and the rustling sound of the flowing water was as pleasant as the sound of a zither. They held the clear spring in their hands and drank happily. It was like grape wine, sweet and refreshing.

Along the way, Lin Xuan did not put on the airs of a heaven's pride expert. Instead, it made them feel much more comfortable, and they did not feel so conflicted in their hearts.

However, junior sister Shui had been surrounding Lin Xuan all along, and the two of them were chatting happily.

"Senior Brother Lin, I didn't expect you to come from the Weeping Blood Sect. I've heard that there were quite a few outstanding individuals that were born in your bloodline, and all of them had shed their blood in the chaos of the foreign races. They were both famous for a period of time."

Shui Qingxin's expression was tranquil, and her eyes were like limpid autumn water as she spoke with a slightly delicate voice.

"The ancestors threw away their heads and shed their blood, and their accomplishments continued to flourish. I admire them greatly as well." Lin Xuan nodded, and then he raised his head to look at the distant mountains and rivers. It was lofty and magnificent.

However, on the way down the stream to enjoy the scenery, they met a group of people.

A few hurried figures passed by on the mountain path and said: "Have you heard? Tomorrow, the academy's elders will gather all the disciples and head to the academy to give a lecture."

"Is that so? There's actually such a thing. That's a good thing, we can't miss it."

"We can go together when the time comes."

They were in a hurry, and it didn't seem like they were faking it. Someone among Lin Xuan's group stopped them and asked curiously: "Brother, is it true that you do not know what you are saying?"

"We have been in the academy for several days, but we have never heard of this news."

The person who was about to leave looked back at him and said arrogantly, "Of course it's true. It's said that the Dao lecture this time can be considered as the entrance ceremony for the academy's disciples."

"I won't talk much with you all. Take care of yourself, I'll go!"

However, as soon as he left, the crowd was filled with people. Someone said with a straight face: "Haha, we were just casually asking, yet you are so arrogant!"

"Don't forget where we are. Sky Travel Academy has always been the gathering place of the geniuses and outstanding talents in the dynasty since ancient times. Any disciple who came here was once the outstanding talent of the various great sects. It's reasonable for them to be a bit arrogant."

The elder senior brother could understand, but he didn't say anything.

After that, the crowd no longer had the mood to continue wandering around. Lin Xuan also bid farewell to the white-clothed lady.

"Senior brother Lin, wait a moment. May I know where senior brother Lin lives?"

However, just as Lin Xuan was about to leave, he was stopped by Shui Qingxin and asked curiously.

"Haha, if there's anything, you can look for me on Ethereal Peak!"

Lin Xuan looked back and said with a smile when he heard this.

After that, he turned into a ray of light and disappeared from everyone's sight.

He didn't rashly believe this news. Instead, he asked a few more people and found out that it was true.

After returning to the Misty Peak, Lin Xuan informed Shen Muqing and the others of the news. The next morning, they traveled together and arrived at the academy's great hall together.

This place was also called the Academy. Usually, there would be elders coming here to explain and teach Dao Arts.

The blue-golden palace hall was like a bronze poured in, not too tall or a few zhang wide. It was unknown just how many zhang wide it was. It could accommodate over ten thousand people. It was like a great palace, incomparably magnificent.

At this moment, the great hall was filled with a hubbub of voices. Almost all the geniuses of the Great Jin Dynasty had gathered here. They were all dragons and phoenixes among the people.

Lin Xuan and Shen Muqing stood at the edge of the crowd, keeping an unusually low profile. None of their cultivation base had broken through to the Spirit Master realm. Compared to the others, they seemed to be one head lower than the others.

"Hehe, where did this brat come from? He isn't even a Spirit Master. He really got lucky and entered the academy. He really doesn't deserve to be on the same level as me!"

"This is also good. At least there are people at the bottom. We can also feel more comfortable, and reduce the competition!"

"That's right, hahaha!"

Lin Xuan listened quietly and ignored him.

If Shen Muqing did not have a peerless face like that of a fairy, she would probably be ridiculed.

On the other hand, Shen Qingfeng's cold eyes swept across the crowd. An invincible Qi emerged from his body, stopping them from mocking him.

Right at this moment, a highly respected elder stood on the lecture platform. He wore green clothes and had white hair that was as white as snow. There was a goatee on his lower jaw. He had the demeanor of an immortal.

Lin Xuan originally thought that he'd come here to give a lecture, yet never had he imagined that the elder didn't mention anything about Dao Arts at all, and he'd been explaining the so-called path to ascend the peak all along.

"Do all of you know how difficult it is to step foot onto this path? Every single time the academy reopens, only a few people are able to obtain the qualifications to step foot onto the path to ascend the mountain."

"Even during the academy's heyday, there aren't more than a handful of people."

Although the words of the sage-like elder were short, the amount of information it contained was enormous, and it caused Lin Xuan and the others to be surprised.

The conditions to step onto this path were actually so cruel, only one or two people were allowed to step onto it.

"This time, we have gathered all of you, not only to motivate you, but also to temper you. We are going to compete and nurture the strongest geniuses, representing our Sky Travel Academy, representing our empire, and embark on that path of supremacy."

"It's worth the time for the Mutated Tribe to stir up trouble. Time is of the essence, and it's too late for all of you to settle down."

"For this, the secret realm will reopen, and the academy will select fifty plus people to head into the secret realm to temper themselves for three months!"

"Right now, the academy doesn't have the time to prepare all kinds of competitions to compete for the spots. We can only let you choose on your own!"

"Unless you're strong, don't try to be a hero!"

The elder reminded, and then his voice pierced through ten thousand li like thunder. He said loudly, "If so, who wants to move forward?"2

"You can take a step forward onto the arena!"
