" Is this South China City?"”It was indeed huge. Just this area alone could house hundreds of millions of people. No wonder those empires did not dare to stretch their hands here. "Ling Tian is currently sizing up a huge city.”
"Let's go. The academy is in the eastern part of the city, but there aren't hundreds of millions of people in this city. In fact, there aren't even ten million, only a few million. However, these people were mostly cultivators. There were very few ordinary people in the city. Those empires were not afraid of this city, but they were afraid of the experts in the academy.”Old Ying explained when he saw Ling Tian's curious expression.
"Experts? Is there a lot?" Ling Tian asked suspiciously. "Of course, not to mention this city, there are more than 20 elders like me in our academy, not to mention those elders who are nominally elders but don't care about the affairs of the academy and are away all year round. Moreover, our dean and the Great Elder are both supreme level experts.”Old Ying said proudly.
"Supreme class? Oh, then what about the dean? If not for the fact that the academy was ranked in the entire South China region, there would be no hidden power.”Hearing this, Ling Tian asked with a smile, seemingly wanting to get to the bottom of it.
"Then I have no comment. This is the foundation of our academy. Moreover, the dean has always been elusive. Who knows how strong he is? I think only the Great Elder and the Vice Dean know. However, I can tell you that our Vice Dean has changed three times, but the dean is still the same.”Old Ying acted as if he couldn't tell Ling Tian the secret, but he still revealed some information to Ling Tian.
"Oh." Ling Tian acknowledged with an 'oh' and did not ask any further. However, he was extremely shocked.
Three Vice Principals had been replaced, but the Principal was still the same. An advanced institution like South China University would not easily replace their vice deans. These three vice deans were at least supreme level experts, so they would not be killed so easily. Therefore, this meant that even if the three vice principals were middle-aged and had just become vice principals, the time that the principal had lived was at least half of the time that the three vice principals had lived before he became the principal. "This is incredible. As far as I know, even a Saint Rank expert wouldn't have been this long. Then, the principal's general strength was obvious-the second major realm.
The three of them arrived at the entrance of the academy, only to see that there were actually two king tiers guarding the entrance. Moreover, the academy was located in the eastern part of the city, but it was the entire eastern part, which took up a quarter of the entire Hua City. Moreover, the mountain range outside the eastern part of the city was all within the academy.
"Greetings, Elder Ying, but who are these two?”Just as Ling Tian was shocked by the size of the academy, the two middle-aged king tiers guarding the gate said. "This is Ling Tian, a student I specially recruited for the academy. This is his maid.”Elder Ying said as he pointed at Ling Tian and then at Violet Orchid.”
"Special enrollment, of course, there's no problem. This year, you didn't use one of your two special enrollment spots.”the two middle-aged Kings said. "I'll handle the procedures immediately. I want to bring him into the academy now.”Elder Ying nodded when he saw this. "Alright, please." The two middle-aged king tiers let him go.
The next day, Ling Tian woke up in his own courtyard and did not wake up Violet Orchid. He remembered that he had asked Old Ying about the library and went straight to the library. However, it was still early in the morning, so there were not many students here to read.
However, Ling Tian did not go to the battle qi section. Instead, he went to the magic section and casually picked up a book on basic fire magic. After a while, the crowd gradually increased, and Ling Tian had already changed his books. However, at this moment, a clear and beautiful voice entered Ling Tian's ears," Student, may I sit here?”
Hearing this, Ling Tian did not raise his head but instead flipped through the book,""Please do as you please." The owner of the voice sat down and said,""Student, you cultivate battle energy, so why are you here in the magic area to read books?”Hearing this, Ling Tian raised his head, only to see a seventeen or eighteen-year-old young lady sitting opposite him. She was dressed in a long white robe, not a long dress, and her black hair flowed down her back like a waterfall. Her figure was not as voluptuous as Ya Xuan's, but it was still curvaceous and just right. She was neither tall nor short, and she had a beautiful and exquisite face that was as beautiful as her voice. Her skin was as fair as her clothes. She wasn't as charming as Ya Xuan. She was as pure and beautiful as a fairy in the clouds.
However, Ling Tian only casually glanced at it and said,""Then when you wake up, you can go to the third or even the fourth level. Why did you come to the first level?”After saying that, he no longer paid any attention to it and continued to flip through the pages of his book.
When the young lady saw this, she was already a little surprised that Ling Tian had ignored her beauty and was curious about him,""What can you read by flipping through the book like this?”
"You don't have to worry about that." Ling Tian did not even raise his head. "Humph!" The young lady pouted when she heard this, but she was even more curious about Ling Tian. As such, she asked all sorts of questions as she read, while Ling Tian was always " Ah, oh, mhm ", concentrating on his book and ignoring the young lady.
Seeing this, the young girl did not ask any more questions. After Ling Tian finished reading the pile of books on the table, he went to get another pile and continued reading. Seeing this, the young lady looked at Ling Tian from time to time. After a long time, the young lady left, and most of the people in the Book Pagoda had also left. However, Ling Tian was still flipping through the books.
In the afternoon, the young lady came again and saw that Ling Tian was still flipping through his book, so she asked,""Didn't you go back? Have you been reading here?"
"Yes." Ling Tian raised his head to take a look and realized that it was the young lady from the morning. He replied and buried his head in his sea of books. "I still haven't gotten your name. Student, let me introduce myself. My name is Feng Qing 'er, an inner court student. I study magic, and have both wind and water attributes.”Seeing that Ling Tian was very interested, the young lady introduced him.
"Ling Tian, new student." As Ling Tian spoke, he paused for a moment and sized up Feng Qing 'er before adding,""Yes, she's as elegant as her name suggests.”After saying that, he buried himself in his sea of books.
Feng Qing Er was very satisfied when she saw Ling Tian sizing her up and saying such words. However, when she saw Ling Tian ignoring her after saying that, she was secretly angry,""Ling Tian, right? I'll remember you.”
Two hours later, Feng Qing 'er left. Late at night, Ling Tian borrowed two water magic books from the book tower and went back. He returned to the courtyard and threw the book to Zi Lan, who was waiting for him.""I borrowed it for you. Take a look yourself.”After saying that, he sat down to savor the dinner that Violet Orchid had prepared for him. Although it was just a home-cooked meal, it reminded Ling Tian of the dishes that his grandfather had prepared for him every day, and he felt a little sad.
After the meal, Ling Tian continued to cultivate until morning. He then returned to the book tower very early in the morning, and it was still the magic area. He continued to " flip through " the books at the window seat from yesterday.
Truthfully speaking, Ling Tian did not understand much from these books, but he still memorized them without any intention of understanding them, intending to slowly ponder over them in the future. Two hours later, Feng Qing 'Er also arrived. When she saw that Ling Tian had already read One Emperor's book, she also took two magic books and sat opposite Ling Tian to read.
Half a month later, Ling Tian arrived at the second level of the Book Pagoda. Originally, new students did not have the authority to do so, but as a specially recruited student, they still had the authority to do so.
Seeing this, Feng Qing Er also accompanied Ling Tian to the second level. Another month later, Ling Tian bid farewell to the magic area and returned to the martial arts area. During this period of time, Ling Tian had never stopped bringing books back to Violet Orchid.
Another half a month later, Ling Tian arrived at the martial arts section of the second level. Another month later, Ling Tian finally came out of the martial arts section and went to the battle qi section and miscellaneous section. He began to read about battle qi and the legendary cultivation. Although he had never read the real cultivation techniques, he had a certain understanding of cultivation, unlike before when he was completely clueless.
However, after a month, a person that Ling Tian did not wish to see appeared in the Book Pagoda-Murong Yunfei.
When he saw Ling Tian, he immediately said," Kid, so you're here. I've been looking for you for three months. If you have the guts, come out and fight with me. I want to let you know that you're not worthy of Ya Xuan. Only I am worthy of her."”
At this time, Murong Yunfei's loud voice attracted the attention of many people. Ever since Murong Yunfei found out that Ling Tian was a student of Huanan Academy, he had requested for his father to come to Huanan Academy. However, he did not expect that Ling Tian was just a new student. Not many people knew that Ling Tian had gone to the magic and martial arts areas the moment he came, which was why he had been looking for Ling Tian for three whole months.
However, Ling Tian ignored him and instead started to read his own book, trying to find out more about cultivation. Seeing that Ling Tian was ignoring him, Murong Yunfei shouted even louder,""Kid, you don't dare to accept the challenge? You coward."
"Alright, I'll go out with you. Don't shout anymore. It's really rude.”Ling Tian turned around and looked at Murong Yunfei.
At this moment, a beautiful figure walked over from afar. It was Feng Qing 'er. Feng Qing' er walked over and looked at Murong Yunfei,"Murong Yunfei, what are you trying to do? Why are you making such a big fuss? This is the Book Pagoda.”"That's why I asked him to duel.”Murong Yunfei pointed at Ling Tian.
"How can you be so arrogant? Ling Tian, let's go, ignore him." As she spoke, she walked in front of Ling Tian and pulled his hand as she walked out. "Kid, do you only know how to hide behind women?”Murong Yunfei roared again.
At this moment, Ling Tian finally reacted. Looking at the hand that Feng Qing Er was holding, he pulled it out and said to Murong Yunfei,""I've never hidden behind a woman. Also, I have a name, not a kid. Since you want a duel, then go ahead.”As she spoke, she ignored Feng Qing Er who was pulling on the corner of her clothes and said,""This is a man's dignity." As he spoke, he pulled back the corner of his clothes and walked out of the book tower.
When Murong Yunfei saw this, he smiled and followed. The crowd, who had thought that this matter would be left unsettled, also followed behind the two of them with laughter. After the crowd had left, Feng Qing 'er finally recovered from her shock. She tugged at the corner of her clothes and stomped her feet as she muttered to herself,""Damn a man's dignity! Damn Ling Tian, you didn't listen to my advice and deserved to be beaten to death.”As he said that, he still followed.
Not far away from the Book Pagoda, Ling Tian stopped,""This is it." "This? Aren't you going to the arena?" Murong Yunfei asked in confusion. "It's too far. I still have to go back and read my books.”Ling Tian replied calmly.
"Go back and read your books. There's no need because I plan to cripple you.”Murong Yunfei was furious when he heard that.""Since you want to die early, I'll fulfill your wish.”As he spoke, he stomped his right foot and charged towards Ling Tian. When the crowd saw this, they quickly made way.
Seeing this, Ling Tian's expression did not change. He stretched out his right hand to receive Murong Yunfei's palm strike and took a few steps back,""Not bad." As he spoke, he suddenly reached out to Murong Yunfei and punched him in the chest, sending him flying. He said,"It's a pity that I'm a little slow."
"Ah! You've angered me." Murong Yunfei wiped the blood off his mouth and roared out. His entire body was filled with killing intent as he turned into a red light and charged towards Ling Tian. Seeing this, Ling Tian also rushed over, and the two of them continuously crossed arms and legs, from the sky to the ground, from the tree to the tree. "Not bad, not bad. Your speed is a little faster, but it's a pity that you're still a little slow.”Ling Tian said with a smile. After kicking Murong Yunfei's hands away, Ling Tian raised his other leg and kicked Murong Yunfei's chest before he could react, sending him flying tens of meters away, leaving a long trail on the ground.
Ling Tian himself also fell from the sky, but he used his hands to support himself before falling back down. When the crowd saw this, they let out a long sigh. They didn't expect a youth in his twenties to be defeated by a teenager. Moreover, it was an outer court disciple who defeated an inner court disciple.
However, Murong Yunfei didn't care about the blood and embarrassment on his body. Instead, he stood up and shouted,"Ah! Brat, I'm going to kill you." As he spoke, he charged towards Ling Tian, and when Ling Tian wasn't paying attention, he suddenly took out a long red blade from his storage ring and slashed towards Ling Tian.
Sensing Murong Yunfei's attack, Ling Tian turned around and dodged to the side. However, because he was too close to Murong Yunfei, Ling Tian did not manage to dodge the attack completely. As the long saber brushed past Ling Tian's right arm, it produced a metallic sound.
