In the Central State area, from towns to small villages, everyone's goal is to get into the Central State Academy.
There were around seventy-eighty million people living in the Central State and the academy only accepted around thirty thousand people.
Those who could enter the Central State Academy were two types of people, one had money and the other had potential, or they had both. In general, it is the largest academy in the Central State and enjoys a solitary position and influence.
Thirty thousand students were divided into four different pages, the Azure Dragon Courtyard, the White Tiger Courtyard, the Vermillion Bird Courtyard and the Black Tortoise Courtyard. This is to better define resources and to encourage internal competition.
Each page has its own ranking.
And each page has its own student ranking.
The higher the rank a page has, the more resources they receive and the higher the rank of individuals, the more resources they will acquire. This kind of layered ranking system is in line with student interests and encourages internal competition and team spirit. This allows the Central State Academy to always have a strong competitive advantage.
Even the Four Middle State Young Masters were all from the Central State Academy.
Chu Xinghe, Luo Xianglong, Ye Tianlang, and Yun Yao all placed first in their respective courtyards. They have unlimited potential and enhance the beauty of each other. They are student leaders year after year leading their pages in the competition. They truly deserve the title of super talent!
Currently, of four pages.
The Vermillion Bird Courtyard was in last place.
As it continued to weaken year after year, its territory continued to decrease. Currently they only occupy three thousand mu of land and sixteen training fields. They had five hundred inner courtyard students and about five-six thousand outer courtyard students. Since it had been a long time since they had such a fierce leader, out of the four courtyards, the Vermillion Bird Courtyard was the least excited.
In the morning, a huge commotion broke out in the Vermillion Bird Courtyard.
“Everything's fast coming!”
“Yun Xiao wants to challenge rank thirty-six!”
Yun Xiao was wearing a magnificent golden robe. There was a sword in his left hand and a jade-white fan in his right hand, and there were four-five minions following behind him. One was leading a large dog, one was holding a bird cage, and the other was holding a drink. There were also some pretty servants following behind him as he walked across the courtyard.
This procession was very striking, as if he was sticking the words “I am a playboy” on his face.
Chu Tian mixed into the crowd. He had a very normal appearance and normal clothes, so he did not attract much attention.
Dong!
Dong!
Dong!
Yun Xiao rang a large copper bell.
Every student was clear about what these copper bells meant!
This copper bell ringing meant that there was someone who wanted to challenge Vermillion's Thirty-six Bird Star!
Who are the Thirty Six Vermillion Bird Stars?
They were the top thirty-six students of the Vermillion Bird Courtyard. Some were allowed to live in exclusive small residences and received a lot of resources from the Central State Academy. These thirty-six students were all top talents of the Central State Academy.
Do you want to go up?
It's so simple!
Fight for it!
If you can beat any of them, you take their place!
Yun Xiao loudly rang the bell and puffed out his chest as he loudly shouted, Everyone! Every man! Today is a very favorable day, it will be the day that I, young master Yun Xiao will take the first rank of our Vermillion Bird Courtyard! Everyone should come and watch whatever happens!
Yun Xiao was too arrogant!
He only occupies the twenty-sixth position at the moment!
He used to rank higher, but he was challenged not too long ago and had been beaten until he ran like a frightened rat. It's only been a few days and he already wants to challenge people? Isn't this all a big joke?
Yun Xiao looked at the crowd who was interested.
His heart began to be filled with excitement!
Fuck those!
He had suffered for three days, but now he would receive his reward!
Yun Xiao threw the jade fan to the errand boy at the side and shook his golden robe. Countless people followed him to the thirty-six ranked residence and he gave a gentle flick.
A minion quickly came out and shouted in a loud voice, The twenty-sixth ranked young master of Vermillion Bird Yun Xiao has come to make a challenge! Vermillion Bird Rank twenty-five put Zhao Kun, do you dare to accept ?!
Yun Xiao revealed a fake smile, “Let's warm up with some side dishes as it is still morning!”
Everyone is silent.
Is there anyone in Central State City who does not know Yun Xiao's reputation?
In the twenty-fifth residence of the row of desolate buildings, there was a young man sitting cross-legged. He was neither too tall nor big and was actually quite small, but he was surrounded with an ominous and wild aura. There were some new and old scars on his face. He was obviously a person who liked to fight.
A challenger?
It's okay if it's someone else.
This person was merely an idiot who had been poured by the Yun Family into Elixir!
Drinking and playing all day, he was the most famous young playboy master in Central State!
The only reason why this idiot could maintain his twenty-sixth place was because his family reputation was too strong. No one wanted to offend the Yun Family, so no one dared to challenge him!
When Zhao Kun fought him, he had defeated him before ten moves.
Was he injured enough last time? Did he come to embarrass himself again?
“Good!”
Central State Academy is pushing for competition.
The inner courtyard student had the opportunity to challenge the thirty-sixth rank Vermillion Bird once a month. As long as they don't lose, they can keep fighting. The person being challenged cannot resist the challenge or he will lose his position.
Zhao Kun held a long sword as he leaped out the window like a leopard. His eyes seemed to be filled with lightning as he looked at Yun Xiao and said, I am a Zhao Kun ranked twenty-five Vermillion Bird Ranking! I accept your challenge!
Zhao Kun was a cultivator from a poor family.
His father was a blacksmith and his mother was a tailor. He was born in a small town in the Central State area.
His family reluctantly gave up everything to send him to study and Zhao Kun worked hard and diligently. At the age of eleven, he left his small town and had passed the entrance examination of the Central State Academy and become an outer courtyard student. Every year he gets a scholarship to help pay his tuition fees.
With seven years of relentless effort, Zhao Kun had obtained good results in many major competitions. He continued to risk his life and participated in many missions suppressing ferocious beasts and bandits and gained quite a lot of merit. In this period of time, his cultivation base had increased by several times due to lucky encounters.
Finally after traveling down the thorny path, he had entered the inner courtyard and obtained his current cultivation!
At nineteen years old, Zhao Kun had reached the First Soul Awakening Layer.
This is a very inspiring and legendary character.
For the top twenty-thirty ranks of the Vermillion Bird Courtyard, they were all usually juniors of large families. It was rare for anyone from a poor family like Zhao Kun to make him proud.
Yun Xiao's?
When Zhao Kun looked at this person with a golden-coloured outer appearance, his eyes were filled with a hint of disdain.
It might be jealous or despicable, but the wealthy second generation born with this silver spoon was the type of person Zhao Kun hated the most.
Although Zhao Kun was preparing to make a breakthrough, he knew it would not be difficult to defeat Yun Xiao who gained his strength with just Elixir!
“Give him a lesson!”
“Let this brat know how strong you are!”
Countless voices sounded from the crowd.
Zhao Kun was a low-born person and within this crowd, there were quite a few big family juniors. He enjoyed this feeling and it satisfied him.
Support and honor!
These are all things I struggle with!
I am more qualified to enjoy this treatment than this rich second generation.
Zhao Kun let out a cold snort and his eyes were filled with contempt, Young master Yun, you are no match for me, so please do not waste my time. You should know that the school has its own rules and the power of holding power here. No matter what your status is, I will show no mercy.
Yun Xiao laughed and suddenly brandished his sword, This young master has been reborn and today I will let you see my strength! If you can block my three attacks, then that is my loss today!
Defeated Zhao Kun in three slashes?
This is a joke!
“Then I have to see how much you progress!”
Zhao Kun knew that Yun Xiao practiced the Thirteen Thunder Swords of the Yun Family. Once these sword arts appeared, each successive slash would be much stronger. If he was allowed to unleash seven slashes, then Zhao Kun would face quite a bit of pressure.
There's only one way!
Speed!
The sooner the fight ended, the less time he had to increase his momentum.
Zhao Kun displayed his best martial art, the Wind Chasing Sword. This sword art was one of the best martial arts of the Central State Academy and was something that Zhao Kun paid a considerable price for. He had currently reached the realm of Little Success.
After their movements were displayed, with lightning speed, both sides locked in a stalemate.
“Hahahaha! View me!”
Yun Xiao took two steps forward and his sword suddenly released an imposing wild aura. Just as the ten thousand horses were charging over, it rushed forward right into its enemy.
“What?!”
Zhao Kun felt an incredible pressure.
A slash that had been practiced millions of times would be like a slash sent by a top master. This was enough to completely deter one's enemy.
Impossible!
This playboy sword skill had improved by this much in such a short amount of time?
Zhao Kun had no time to think about this, he could only try his hardest and try to survive this attack. When the blades collided, a powerful lightning light was released and shot right into Zhao Kun's body. A terrible explosion occurred that even made a small hole in the ground.
Zhao Kun cried sadly.
He flew like a piece of paper.
The peng!
When Zhao Kun fell to the floor, his body was still covered in lightning, paralyzing his body completely, making it impossible to stand up. His hair was standing straight and his face and hands were burning, he was almost turned into charcoal by the lightning.
“How can you be this strong!”
Zhao Kun revealed a face of disbelief!
This is impossible!
How can I lose to this waste!
What happened to this fool? How could he be this strong!
Yun Xiao patted the dust off his golden robe and danced with his sword a few times. Then he sheathed the sword with a very natural attitude, “I'm really sorry, I accidentally used too much power.”
This boy was clearly acting like a pig to eat a tiger!
That sword art was clearly being forged repeatedly, it was not something that could be achieved in a single day!
Zhao Kun's face turned extremely red. The playboy young master whom he looked down upon had actually defeated him with a single slash in front of everyone. This is too embarrassing!
Chu Tian watched until here and then coughed gently.
Yun Xiao quickly stopped pretending to be cold and cleared his throat as he walked in front of Zhao Kun, “Brother Zhao, your Wind Pursuit Sword is in the Small Success Realm, you are too focused on speed. That's not true!”
Zhao Kun let out a cold snort, It's fine if I lose, but stop trying to humiliate me. Rank twenty-five is yours for now, but I will take it back sooner or later!
Yun Xiao shook his head and said, The essence of the Wind Pursuit Sword is not speed, but rather being elegant and flexible. It left no traces like the wind, making it impossible for people to track down and then unleash a swift attack. This is how you can easily defeat your enemies. Brother Zhao's Wind Chasing Sword was too focused on speed so it lacked elegance. Doesn't this put the carriage in front of the horse?
“And”
Although he was unsure, Zha Kun had to admit that Yun Xiao's words made sense. He would never have thought that Yun Xiao would have this kind of martial arts comprehension.
I suggest that Brother Zhao learn some basic sword techniques again. As soon as Yun Xiao said this, he suddenly paused for a moment, This younger brother had seen the Wind Pursuit Sword before and had made some improvements to some of the lacking pieces. I'll help Brother Zhao change it now and hope it will be useful to you.
Yun Xiao started talking about sword arts.
Zhao Kun was stunned.
Why did Yun Xiao seem like he was becoming an entirely new person? It was fine if he pointed out his flaws in a very straightforward manner!
What is the most unbelievable thing.
He really wanted to modify sword arts?
The Wind Pursuit Sword was a well-known technique in the Middle States and even all those experts were unable to change it. How could a second generation rich trifle like this change him? But as he listened to Yun Xiao's words, he was surprised to find that it was true. Zhao Kun could not help but be filled with admiration and even the people around them had gained quite a bit!
When Zhao Kun was cultivating, he found a lot of trouble. Once he finished listening to this explanation, he immediately realized many things like he opened his eyes and entered a new world!
“Young master Yun!”
I surrender!
Zhao Kun knelt down and everyone's eyes were filled with admiration.
What is called mind?
What is called knowledge?
What is the master style?
At this moment Yun Xiao felt like every pore in his body was open and the golden sunlight had just expelled the clouds that had existed for a hundred years. It splashed onto his body and made him feel a single emotion. The happiness!
But when he raised his head to the sky, tears formed in his eyes. Success, he succeeded! His boss did not deceive him, he did not experience that evil training in vain!
Zhao Kun quickly bowed forward and cupped his fists, Young master Yun is truly profound, I, Zhao Kun are sincerely convinced. I apologize for not making sense. I will leave my room to you from today.
Satisfying!
This is really too satisfying!
Yun Xiao was so excited that he wanted to shout out loud!
When this news spread, it would not be known how many people would notice it and how many members of the Yun Family would be shocked. When his grandfather found out about this, who knew how happy he was!
