"Stinky brat, a few newbies will be sent over from Tianshan Sword Sect tomorrow, so I'll leave them to you. One month later, bring them and the others to hunt Sword Soul s. Not seeing what the old man had said, Lee Xun merely caught it in passing and received a purple gourd that was brimming to the brim.

"That's right, if you want to know your origins, you can take this chance to go down the mountain and search for them. Remember, you can always do whatever you want and never ask."

At dawn, Lee Xun saw that the sky above him had not slept at all, as he laid on a Sword Testing Stone. His emotions were mixed, and he once again thought back to when he was just born, and was brought along by Uncle Dao to escape for his life.

Although the majority of them came here to muddle through, there was no lack of people who wanted to learn true skills. However, due to the limitations of their innate talent, they all knew that they would not be able to achieve much in their lives, and could only try their best to make up for it with hard work.

All of the disciples knew that the person staring blankly at the Sword Testing Stone was their senior apprentice brother. None of them had ever defeated him, but they had never lost to him, because they all realized that their senior apprentice brother only knew defensive sword moves and never used any offensive sword moves. Even when they saw him practice occasionally, they only knew that he was slashing around randomly without any sort of pattern, which was far worse than their own exquisite attack moves. They also discovered that their eldest senior brother had become increasingly silent for some reason these past few years. He was often in a daze, and even when he was practicing his sword, he would be in a daze. Some of the new arrivals would laugh secretly, thinking that their senior brother would become a fool. However, those who had hunted down the Sword Soul before did their best to protect Lee Xun, as they thought that Lee Xun was a strong cultivator, but they could not be sure. However, one thing was certain, that Lee Xun was a good person.

Compared to the other academies, the Heavenly Academy was the easiest and most irregular. If they wanted to practice, they would do so. If they wanted to sleep, they would do so. Only on the fifteenth day of each month did the old man take a look at everyone's practice and demonstrate some new moves to explain the main points. Other than maintaining the normal order in the arena, Lee Xun also prohibited private duels. He played the role of training partner, and every two days, he would accept the challenge from all the Heavenly Academy disciples.

Lee Xun would place a bowl full of water on top of a 1.5 meter high stake in the training grounds. As long as someone was able to defend against Lee Xun and knock over the bowl, it would be considered as his win. If he won, he would be able to receive a move from the Golden Sword. Most people relied on improving their physique to comprehend a few moves that matched with their own. But most of them were too simple, as long as they could enter a few Sword Sect or large families, they would be able to learn Bronze-ranked sword moves, and those with a bit of comprehension might even be able to learn Silver ranked sword moves. As for Gold-ranked sword moves, those were extremely profound sword moves, and most people would only be able to pass on sword skills with a legacy like Tianshan Sword Sect, as for Platinum-ranked sword moves, they were extremely rare.

This old man's sword skills were all Silver rank at the age of fifteen every month, which was also why all the Heavenly Academy disciples did not have any objections towards this extremely lazy sword master. They also knew that the disciples of the other academies generally only practiced a few bronze level sword manuals. Although sword masters would often give guidance, only those who had mastered and mastered sword techniques would be selected by their masters and be taught Silver level sword techniques. However, there wouldn't be many silver level sword moves, and only those who had become a Sword Sect elder would be able to learn gold-level sword moves.

On the other hand, the old man often saw Silver ranked sword moves. They were truly something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought for. Furthermore, the majority of those who came here were the children of nobles, and this satisfied their vanity even more. Even if they couldn't learn even a single move, they still had the qualifications to boast to others when they returned home.

Another thing was that in the past ten years of Heavenly Academy, during the hunt for Sword Soul, no accident had ever happened. In contrast, every year, disciples from other academies would suffer from death or injury while hunting for Sword Soul. However, the other branches all attributed this to the fact that the level of the Demonic Beast that the disciples of Heavenly Academy had hunted down was too low, and was not comparable to them at all.

It was late in the morning when the six of them arrived at the Heavenly Academy's martial arena. The one leading the group was a middle-aged man who seemed to be in his thirties. Looking at his clothes, it was obvious that he was a Rain Level Elder from Sword Sect. Wind, rain, lightning, and early stage elders were divided into four levels. Wind, rain, lightning, and early stage elders were all at least at the level of Wind, and the standard was that they would be able to last ten moves under the hands of a rain level elder, while a wind level elder was able to learn three gold level sword moves to advance to a rain level elder. This time would usually be around twenty years of being a wind level elder, and rain level elders were able to learn six gold level sword moves to advance to a thunder level elder. As for Elder An, he was just an old fogey who would not die. The standard for advancement was to learn a Platinum-level sword move. The reason why the Tianshan Sword Sect was able to flourish for a thousand years was because there were Platinum-ranked sword techniques within it as a deterrence, and also because during these thousand years, there had been outstanding people who had successfully cultivated and protected the inheritance of Sword Sect. Some Sword Sect may have Platinum-ranked sword techniques, but once a talent gap appeared, it would become the biggest crisis for the sect.

"Look, it's a Rain Level Elder, in his early thirties, he should be the third young Rain Level Elder, Duan Peng, in the history of Tianshan Sword Sect. Oh my god, someone who was able to advance to a Wind Level Elder at the age of forty is a genius, this Elder Duan Peng is definitely a genius amongst geniuses."

"Waa, there are beauties, and they even come here as the three of them. Could it be that the Sword God opened his eyes and heard my daily prayers, so he intentionally sent them to me to pursue me?"

"You idiot, don't you know that the female disciples of our Tianshan Sword Sect all come from the Mystic Maiden Palace? Those there are all women who are known to be violent, and those who offend them are the unlucky ones."

"..."

The Profound Maiden School was also a rather special branch institution within the Tianshan Sword Sect. All the female disciples from the Tianshan Sword Sect had gathered here, and the number of disciples was also more than that of a single branch institution. Therefore, the competition at the Mystic Maiden School was also very intense. After all, there were too many people with good aptitude.

"Lee Xun." Duan Peng walked in front of Lee Xun and shouted.

Lee Xun did not hear it but continued to look up at the sky. Duan Peng looked at the dumbstruck Lee Xun and only smiled, not angry at all. Then he said to the five people behind him: "The one behind you is your Senior Brother Lee Xun, you must have heard about some of the matters regarding Heavenly Academy, if you are lucky, you will be able to learn one or two Silver ranked sword moves in the following month, if you can defeat Lee Xun in battle, then you will still have the chance to learn Gold-ranked sword moves. This is a rare opportunity, you should cherish it."

"Elder, is this true?" She was Tian Fen, aged 28, with a little baby fat face, and asked timidly.

"Heh heh, I'm sure you guys can learn the Silver Sword Art, the Golden Sword s are all dependent on your own strength. In the last ten years, there hasn't been a single person who could break Lee Xun's defense, and the me from ten years ago was the same. If you want to learn, you have to work hard. Your aptitudes are all better than mine. Alright, if you have any other questions, ask your fellow apprentices in the martial arts arena. Don't disturb your Senior Brother Lee Xun, he's a good person. "

Duan Peng also didn't continue speaking. After he finished speaking, he left on his own accord.

"Senior Brother Lee Xun, I want to challenge you." The tallest of the five new arrivals, a boy, said. After calling him three times, Lee Xun did not pay attention to him. The boy was a little angry. His name was Zhou Jie, at the age of eighteen, he was the strongest person under the age of twenty in the Earth City, and he was definitely the favorite of everyone in the Earth City. However, at this point, Lee Xun completely ignored him, but he forgot that Lee Xun did not pay attention to Duan Peng either.

"Senior Brother Zhou Jie, Senior Brother Lee Xun seems to be thinking about something, let's not disturb him for now and ask the other fellow apprentices. We don't even have a place to stay yet, if we were to return to our original residence everyday, it would take four hours just to go back and forth." The woman who spoke was called Qin Qing, she had a pretty face with an oval face, and could barely be considered a beauty.

"Hey, little brother over there, can you tell us where we can find an empty room? We want to stay here for a month." The one who spoke was the most voluptuous Dong Nana out of the three girls.

"What little brother? How am I small? I'm just a bit short." The boy that Dong Nana pointed at said grievingly. His words instantly stirred up a wave of laughter from the other disciples.

The three girls could not help but feel bashful when they heard their words. But Dong Nana quickly withdrew her bashfulness and shouted again: "Who can help me find a place to stay? I'll accompany him to her table for lunch today." As she spoke, she puffed out her chest. She looked as enticing as she could get.

More than half of the disciples swallowed their saliva when they saw this and immediately ran over to introduce the three beauties to their residences. Tianshan Sword Sect was the backbone of the Heavenly Mountain Kingdom. Every year, the king of Tianshan Country would send people over to deliver a large amount of money and treasures, and every courtyard in every corner of Tianshan Sword Sect was also being repaired once a year. There were also many residences for the disciples.

At lunch, there were originally eight people at the table, but there were actually thirteen people at Dong Nana's table. The four newcomers sat alone at the table, there were some people who wanted to go and gather up the numbers, but they were dismissed by Zhou Jie, causing many of them to feel depressed, gnashing their teeth at Zhou Jie.

When the dishes were served, Dong Nana and the others were just about to move the chopsticks when she said, "Everyone listen to me, this is my first time here, so I got a warm welcome from everyone. Do you think you can let me eat my fill first?

Seeing the enchanting face of Dong Nana, how could the twelve little boys object?

"Sister Nana is playing tricks on us again, I hope he can hold it in." Tian Fen said awkwardly.

The boy, who had always been silent, called Cheng Kun, said in disgust: "Sooner or later, I'll play myself to death." The other three looked at Cheng Kun and snickered. They all knew why Cheng Kun had said those words.

Dong Nana's eating posture was very beautiful, causing the twelve boys to feel an itch from craving for food. But Dong Nana did not stop there. When she finally stopped, they were the only table left in the dining hall, and looking at the dishes on the table, most of them had already been cleaned by Dong Nana.

"Aiya, I'm sorry, your Heavenly Academy dishes are really too delicious. I was greedy and ate all of them. I'm really sorry."

It was only now that the twelve boys noticed the situation on the table, but no matter how they thought about it, they couldn't understand how a concave and attractive girl like Dong Nana could have such a huge appetite. The dish was eight boys' portions, and all of them had actually entered her stomach alone.

The dishes in the dining hall were all quantitative, and the Heavenly Academy s were basically the children of nobles. Therefore, the requirements for the dishes were especially high. They naturally wouldn't eat leftovers, so these twelve people could only starve for a meal.
