Invincible Divine Sword-Chapter 394 - : He Can’t Be Stronger Than Fan Wuyan, Can He?

Chapter 394: Chapter 394: He Can’t Be Stronger Than Fan Wuyan, Can He?

Liao Zihong then continued to talk to Yang Xiaotian about the Four Swords.

The Four Swords were the disciples of the Azure God Academy with the highest natural talent and the strongest skill in the Sword Dao.

The two soon arrived at the Medicine Hall.

Since martial artists required elixirs for their cultivation, the Medicine Hall was always busy, with numerous disciples visiting each day to purchase medicinal herbs.

Inside the great hall, many disciples were queuing at the windows and counters to buy medicinal herbs and elixirs.

However, Yang Xiaotian noticed one window without a queue and couldn’t help asking Liao Zihong, who explained, “The medicinal herbs at that window are of the finest quality, but only the direct disciples of the various great ancestors are permitted to make purchases there.”

“Alternatively, if you manage to clinch the top spot as a newcomer, you would also be allowed to buy medicinal herbs there.”

“The herbs at that window are not only of the finest quality but are also very reasonably priced, sold at twenty percent off the market rate.”

This was the privilege of those exceptionally talented disciples!

So, all that talk about equality for everyone by the sects and nations was nothing but empty words.

“To be eligible for buying medicine at that window, I would need to secure the first-place spot among the newcomers?” Yang Xiaotian thought aloud, asking.

Liao Zihong nodded, “Yes, if you can secure the first rank among the newcomers, you will enjoy many privileges within the Azure God Academy. Not only can you buy medicinal herbs at a twenty percent discount, but you would also have access to train in the Dragon Blood Pond.”

“The Dragon Blood Pond?” Yang Xiaotian inquired.

“Training for one day in the Dragon Blood Pond is equivalent to a month of arduous cultivation outside,” Liao Zihong said. “Moreover, training in the Dragon Blood Pond can significantly enhance one’s vitality.”

“Furthermore, if you can secure the newcomer’s top spot, the resources you enjoy every month will be tenfold that of the other new disciples. For instance, the elixirs and spirit stones distributed to you would be ten times what the others get.”

“Tenfold!” Yang Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, if you can conquer the Divine Shadow Sword and become the direct disciple of the dean, the resources you will enjoy are even more astonishing. In the academy, you would virtually have whatever you desire, as the academy would spare no effort in nurturing you!” Liao Zihong said, full of emotion. “However, it’s been so many years, and no disciple has ever managed to find the Divine Shadow Sword. Becoming the dean’s direct disciple is no easy feat.”

Following that, Yang Xiaotian queued up to buy medicinal herbs.

Fortunately, it didn’t take as long as it did at the Celestial Burial Academy, and Yang Xiaotian soon acquired the needed medicinal herbs.

Just as Yang Xiaotian and Liao Zihong were about to leave, they saw two figures break through the sky and enter the Medicine Hall.

“It’s Yan Long of the Yan Family! Yan Long, who possesses the Supreme Bone and Golden Divine Dragon bloodline!” On seeing the arrivals, the hall immediately erupted into a tumultuous buzz of activity.

Yan Long had passed the evaluation by hunting down a total of ten thousand fierce beasts.

He had also managed to open up thirty-two meridians in one go.

Even among the host of geniuses in the Azure God Academy, he was definitely a standout.

Yan Long walked into the hall with his head held high, moving towards the window. As he passed, all the disciples made way for him, and even Liao Zihong hurriedly stepped aside, fearful of being a moment too slow.

Just as Yan Long was making his way to the window, Yan Jun, who was following behind him, noticed Yang Xiaotian. Yan Jun appeared briefly taken aback, seemingly not expecting to encounter Yang Xiaotian in the Medicine Hall.

“Yang Xiaotian! It’s you!” Yan Jun’s face instantly turned cold.

Upon hearing this, Yan Long stopped in his tracks, his face a picture of astonishment as he looked towards Yang Xiaotian.

Yan Jun had already briefed him about Yang Xiaotian on the way there.

“Kid, I heard you told Yan Jun to roll away or die the day before yesterday, right?” Yan Long looked at Yang Xiaotian with a side glance, his voice thick with murderous intent.

As soon as Yan Long’s words came out, all the disciples in the great hall were shocked.

Liao Zihong was also frightened and hurriedly distanced himself from Yang Xiaotian.

“So what if it is?” Yang Xiaotian glanced at Yan Long and said indifferently.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s unconcerned demeanor, Yan Long’s eyes grew even colder, “If you roll out of here now, out of the great hall’s doors, I can let bygones be bygones regarding the incident the day before yesterday.”

“Otherwise, at the new disciples’ martial arts trial, I will make you regret it!”

On hearing this, Yang Xiaotian said coldly, “Make me regret?” He then said, “Defeating someone like you, one move is more than enough.”

Yan Long was stunned, Yan Jun and all the disciples in the great hall were stunned as well.

Yan Long laughed in anger, “Defeat someone like me with just one move?” He said to the disciples in the great hall with a laugh, “Did you all hear that? This Yang Xiaotian, who passed the examination by hunting over a thousand fierce beasts, now says he needs just one move to defeat me!”

Everyone looked at Yang Xiaotian, their expressions nothing short of strange.

Even Liao Zihong had a strange look on his face.

Yan Long stared at Yang Xiaotian, “Kid, we’ll see at the martial arts trial next month.” He then sneered, “I’ll wait for you to defeat me in one move,” his words dripping with disdain.

Having said that, he turned around and left.

Yang Xiaotian scanned the crowd but didn’t find Liao Zihong’s figure, shook his head with a smile, and then turned around and left.

On the way back, Yang Xiaotian thought about the matter with Yan Long.

Perhaps it was his change in appearance over the past two years, Yan Long no longer recognized him from their encounter in the Soul Sea.

He probably had also forgotten the incident where he had said he would gouge out Yang Xiaotian’s eyes.

Because refining top-grade elixirs could trigger heavenly tribulation, Yang Xiaotian did not return to his mountain peak but left the academy to find a secluded place and only then did he begin to refine the Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill.

The Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill was a sixth-grade elixir, ten times more difficult to refine than the Triple-Origin Purple Gold Pill, demanding better technique and a higher requirement for the Heaven and Earth Fire. However, successful in controlling both of his Divine Flames at the same time, Yang Xiaotian still managed to successfully refine a top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill.

While Yang Xiaotian was refining the top-grade Nine Turns Return to Origin Pill, the incident with Yan Long that occurred in the Medicine Hall spread and caused quite a stir at the Azure God Academy.

After all, Yan Long was the most talented disciple of his generation from the Yan Family, receiving much attention.

Yet now, there was a new disciple claiming he could defeat him in one move!

This matter even reached the ears of the academy’s dean, Chen Jing.

Chen Jing heard this and laughed it off, “The calf doesn’t fear the tiger just because it is newly born!” He turned to the elder beside him, Li Bi, with a smile, “Back in the day, when we first entered the academy, we were also full of youthful gallantry, wanting to challenge Senior Brother Zeng. Afterwards, Senior Brother Zeng beat me up so badly in the martial arts trial that my face was swollen and my nose was bruised, and I even broke quite a few bones!”

The Senior Brother Zeng he mentioned was the son of Mansion Master Zeng Yongjiang of the Azure God Mansion, Zeng Dong, and also the grandfather of one of the Four Beauties, Zeng Qianqian.

Li Bi laughed, “However, this Yang Xiaotian, able to cultivate to the Martial Venerable realm at the age of fourteen, must have consumed some heaven-defying treasures!”

Chen Jing was also puzzled, arguing that even if one consumed heaven-defying treasures, such rapid cultivation was still unlikely, unless it was something truly against the heavens.

He joked to Li Bi, “Maybe this little guy Yang Xiaotian really could defeat Yan Long.”

Li Bi shook his head with a smile, “Defeating Yan Long in one move, even Fan Wuyan couldn’t do it, so I don’t believe this kid can manage it. He surely can’t be stronger than Fan Wuyan, right?”

Chen Jing changed the subject and suddenly said, “Senior Brother Zeng once mentioned that when the Undying Death God snuck into the Eternal Burial Ground, he was blasted away by a peerless powerhouse from the burial ground. When Lord Azure Bear saw the Undying Death God in the Eternal Burial Ground, the latter’s corner of the mouth was still dripping blood!”

“What, there’s such a peerless powerhouse in the Eternal Burial Ground?!” Li Bi was greatly shocked.
