Returning to his room, Lee Xun thought about it again and again, but he was still not prepared to tell this matter to others. Right now, everyone was training their sword moves with their heads covered, if he let them know that his Sword Sect was in danger, it would affect their moods.

Nothing had happened along the way, but he had seen many troops heading towards the border cities.

After entering the Demonic Beast Mountain, the Tianshan Sword Sect was also done each and every step without separating. This hunting Soul Sword, having more people also had more benefits. The group of Demonic Beast that they did not dare to touch in the past could now have more people joining them.

On the fourth day, more than a hundred low-level disciples completed their requirements to hunt Soul Sword. However, the people from the Heavenly Academy and the five people from the other academies still needed to enter a deeper level of Demonic Beast Mountain to hunt Sword Soul.

"Elder Gu, let Elder Wei and the three Rain Level Elders accompany us to head deeper. Let these disciples rest here, I suggest that they find some Demonic Beast with similar strength to fight with in order to increase their combat experience. This generation of Demonic Beast has a lot of them, so we don't need to worry about not having any opponents. Lee Xun suggested.

The three Thunder Elders were all at the peak of Eleventh Rank, but Elder Gu was the most experienced one among the three, so Elder Wei was the youngest amongst the three, and there was also Elder Suo, who was a good person. Thus, if they were to choose a Thunder Elder to accompany Lee Xun and the rest in deeper, Elder Wei was undoubtedly the most suitable person. It was likely that Elder Wei and Elder Suo had long heard of Lee Xun's true strength from Elder Gu, so they were extremely courteous to Lee Xun. Furthermore, Lee Xun was not a proud and talented person, if he was courteous to them, then they would be even more courteous to him.

"Lee Xun, are you bringing more Rain Level Elders?"

"Elder Gu, the three of you are enough. If we are really in danger, a few more Rain Level Elders will definitely be able to help us. We might as well stay here and support us at any time."

On the way to Demonic Beast Mountain, the disciples were all extremely excited, and finally didn't have to guard themselves but to hunt Sword Soul s instead. The other five disciples of the other academies were actually old acquaintances of theirs as well, and they had arrived at the Heavenly Academy thirteen months ago, but were taken away by this "abnormal Lee Xun".

Taking the chance that Lee Xun was alone to scout ahead, one of them asked softly: "Lu Tuan, I heard that many of you were beaten to death, are you the most miserable one?"

"Hey, who says it isn't? Fortunately, I have a lot of meat, hehe. "

The people around them couldn't help but laugh, this Lu Tuan was too good at pretending. It was obvious that he had raised his strength the most, after killing the Sword Soul, he should be able to advance to the eighth step from the early seventh stage to the early eighth stage. This speed was truly enviable for others. As for Zhou Jie and the other three, everyone knew that they were different from them, so they were not in the same league.

As everyone chatted, the Heavenly Academy disciples naturally complained continuously. Of course, they had indeed suffered a lot, and as for the harvest, everyone kept quiet. This was according to Lee Xun's instructions. If you were to speak of the rewards painstakingly, you could only let others see it, otherwise, the disciples who would come again in the future would not cherish the opportunity. Actually, every department had a body tempering method, but it wasn't as intense as the Heavenly Academy. It could be said to be cruel.

Not long later, Lee Xun returned. Looking at his smiling face, he seemed to be satisfied. He informed the discovery to Elder Wei and the other three elders and began to discuss it with them.

"No no, Lee Xun, it's too dangerous that way. Basically, it's all a higher level challenge. Elder Wei said.

The other three clan elders did not dare take the risk when they heard Lee Xun's plan. They all knew that these people that Lee Xun had brought along were the elite among the young disciples.

"In my opinion, how about we leave it to them to choose?"

The four of them felt that this was also a compromise. Although killing Sword Soul was usually the responsibility of the swordsmen leading the teams to select them, in the end, the choice was still in the hands of the disciples.

"In front of us is a shallow valley 1500 meters away. At the entrance of the valley are six Red Horned Rhino, one is an early Eighth Order, two are peak Seventh Order, and three are early Seventh Order." The six of them were very close, so they had to be dealt with together. Lu Tuan is in charge of the early stage of the eighth step, Yan Li, Jin Yongsen is in charge of the peak of the seventh step, and you three are in charge of the early stage of the seventh step. "Do you have any objections?" Lee Xun pointed at the other three people from the other branches.

Lu Tuan, Yan Li and Jin Yongsen's eyes were shining with excitement. The other three revealed troubled expressions. Although the three of them were at the early seventh step, their masters had already placed them at the peak of the sixth step before they came here. Demonic Beast s would live in a world of blood and meat everyday, so of course their killing experience was much better than humans. Humans' advantage lay in their intelligence and techniques, but Demonic Beast bloodthirsty beasts were often even crazier after seeing blood. If the person fighting them had fear in their heart, then their intelligence and techniques would be broken as well, thus, hunting Demonic Beast s that were weaker than them and obtaining Sword Soul s was the safest option.

The three of them saw that Lu Tuan and the others were challenging them at a higher level, so they could only nod their heads in agreement. After all, everyone had the same strength before this, and only Lu Tuan was slightly stronger than them.

"Alright, in a while, Elder Wei and I will block the path to the valley." Alright, in a while, Elder Wei and I will block the path to the valley. Three elders, you will be responsible for the safety of those who fight. "

Fifteen hundred meters was a matter of minutes to the group, and the hunt began quickly. In the end, the four elders and the five branch academy disciples were all shocked. Lu Tuan and the other two had defeated their opponents using their own strength at the cost of severe injuries, and Lu Tuan had even used his Golden Sword's Qi, while the other three disciples had only completed the mission with the help of the elders. This was one of the effects of those nine months of brutal training. When you were on the verge of death for a long period of time, being able to heavily injure your opponent was a good choice. But those three disciples were different. If they were willing to fight with their lives on the line, they could complete the mission on their own, but due to their experience and intelligence, they did not dare to. This was also a common problem in the Sword Soul Continent.

Although they were severely injured, Lu Tuan and the other two were very excited, because not only did the three of them feel that their Soul Sword s were more than three times stronger than normal, they had also acquired a Swordplay Gem. Originally, they did not have much hope and did not place much importance on the Swordplay Gem s, but after coming into contact with those sword moves, they began to yearn to obtain as many Swordplay Gem s as possible, and only then could they release their Golden Sword skills as soon as possible. Baili Hong told them, that the probability of getting seven Swordplay Gem at the most was the greatest, but that was only when one absorbed the Sword Soul the first seven times, and everyone would feel the need to kill Sword Soul as their strength increased. But absorbing Sword Soul was not limited to seven times, if one wanted to obtain a Swordplay Gem at the most, they had to use their lives to increase the strength of the Soul Sword, so of course the chances of them losing their lives would be lower and lower, especially from the eighth time onwards, the chances of obtaining a Swordplay Gem would be minuscule, but as long as there was a chance, it was fine, right? This was common knowledge. The reason why the young disciples were not informed beforehand was because their strengths were not enough. Knowing more would only harm them more.

After this battle, the four elders and the five branch disciples finally understood why the Sect Leader wanted to send those disciples to the Heavenly Academy. Originally, it was only a year ago that such a large gap was formed.

At night, everyone sat together and chatted, the four elders all happily watched the group of Sky Mountain Sect's hope for the future, and those five disciples also walked out from their temporary disappointment, because Lee Xun had told them that they had a chance to go to the Heavenly Academy again in the future.

Lee Xun asked the old man why he had to train these disciples. The old man naturally wouldn't hide it from him, he told Lee Xun that it could be considered a deal. While he and the others would help Tianshan Sword Sect train disciples, in the future, they would also have the opportunity to command these disciples. Actually, it was on the night that Baili Feng arrived, that the two sides had discussed this matter. Ouyang Qingfeng had also anticipated the threat of the seven sects alliance and his Tianshan Sword Sect had definitely taken a huge advantage. It was hard to say whether these disciples could actually help the rest of them, but to think that the journey from the Swordsoul Island to the true Sword Soul Continent was over just by talking about it. Otherwise, there wouldn't be a situation where only a few people from the two continents crossed the Profound Sky Continent in the past tens of thousands of years.

Over the next few days, although the wounded were one after the other, the four elders chose to remain silent, as long as the undead were not crippled. Of course, the harvest was also considerable, other than one unlucky fellow, the rest had all obtained Swordplay Gem s, even the remaining two disciples from the other branches knew their place, the price for the two of them was indeed huge, one of them had been heavily injured for at least a month, and the other one had been in a coma for two days and two nights without being able to awaken.
