Chapter 233: Chapter 7 Fire Crow

Clang!

A clear hum echoed. Two swords emerged from Lu Angzhou’s back, blooming into a silver sword flower midair before quietly landing at his feet.

Approximately three meters above the ground, one sword hovered beneath him while the other flew in front of him. He stepped down with his left foot as if treading on a staircase.

Step by step, he moved with composure, as serene as a celestial being descending from heaven, leaving the disciples below in awe and exclamation.

"Wow, Senior Brother’s sword control is so exquisite. This is incredible, truly worthy of Senior Brother! He must have already surpassed the third realm of intent!"

"What an exaggerated technique; controlling a sword like this, Senior Brother Lu’s style is unparalleled." Countless admiring gazes followed his descent.

Lu Angzhou raised his sword-like brows and scanned the group of disciples with smiling eyes.

Lu Angzhou’s body slowly stepped onto the ground, nodding slightly to the familiar people around, though his gaze landed on a nearby junior brother in a purple robe.

"Junior Brother Ning Yi is still this persistent?" Lu Angzhou shook his head slightly.

His junior brother Ning Yi was excellent in every aspect, be it martial arts prowess, family background, appearance, or personal character, all top-notch choices.

But he was infatuated!

For an average person, with Ning Yi’s family background in Baiyan City, anyone would be within easy reach, and whoever he married would be well-matched. Yet, he had his eyes on the famed ice goddess.

Moreover, her martial prowess wasn’t much inferior to his; Ning Yi ranked fifth, while the ice goddess also had a high ranking, entering the top ten at last year’s competition.

In Lu Angzhou’s eyes, Ning Yi’s gaze was fixed intently on the path to the entrance of the Northern Wind Sect.

At the forefront, an old woman stepped forward. She leaned on a tall black mahogany staff and made her way into the grand ceremony step by step.

Behind her, a woman followed closely at her side.

The woman’s appearance was exquisite, like a proud blossoming ice lotus, her hair cascading like a waterfall, dancing lightly in the wind, unstained by a speck of dust. Her skin, pure white, akin to the warmth of milk. Beautiful as she was, there emanated from her an aura that warned strangers to stay distant; her cold eyes seemed uninterested in everything around her.

Upon her appearance, a light flashed in Ning Yi’s eyes, and he immediately approached: "Greetings, Sect Master Zhao."

After greeting, Ning Yi’s eyes stayed fixed on the beautiful woman: "Sister Qi Yu, I heard you’ve been in seclusion for days, trying to break through the third realm of intent."

"Recently, I found some Sumeru True Grass which can aid the growth of the soul. I sent it to your seclusion place, hoping it would help you break through. Why did you send someone to return it?"

Ning Yi spoke softly, staying beside his junior sister.

But the woman named Qi Yu had a flash of helplessness in her eyes while her expression remained unchanged.

Ning Yi’s father was an established Spirit Origin stage expert, one of the vice deans of Xuri Martial Academy, even her master had to show some respect.

She felt helpless about this and could only deal with it coldly.

"Junior Brother, did you see that?" Cao Qin nudged his mouth, indicating Lin Yuan to notice Ning Yi on the second-level square.

"What?" Lin Yuan looked over, not knowing what was happening.

"That person, remember him. He’s the most famous lovesick person in our Xuri Martial Academy."

Lin Yuan nodded.

A simp, huh, he understood that. Wherever there are beauties, there are bound to be simps, just as surely as day follows night.

"That woman is indeed beautiful. Just don’t get involved with him. Ning Yi is quite powerful, and his father is the vice dean; otherwise, you’ll get into trouble." Cao Qin laughed slyly.

Lin Yuan wasn’t too concerned about this; he was focused on his training. After meeting Zhu Lingshan, aside from that mysterious woman at the beginning, he had little interest. Affairs between men and women, where did he have the energy? Persevering through life was challenging enough, how could he invite trouble?

As the two chatted idly.

The crowd suddenly burst into a frenzy, even more enthusiastic than they were for the flashy Lu Angzhou.

Cao Qin looked over at the sound, his eyes lit up, pointing to the figure behind the master in the hall: "Here comes our Senior Brother Lu Rong."

Lin Yuan looked over; their Senior Brother was dressed like a scholar. His face was delicate, his brows carried an air of scholarly elegance, his eyes bright and spirited, as if they could see through all phenomena in the world. Dressed in a blue robe, his intangible aura exuded a sense of spring breeze, possessing both the gentle grace of a scholar and the resilience of a martial artist.

"Look, that’s the first genius our Xuri Martial Academy has seen in decades. He made it to the Hundred City Prodigy List; his presence, his appearance, so transcendent."

"Senior Brother Lu killed a Soul Hooker from Soul Hook Castle. To slay a Spirit Origin expert with a Meridian stage, it’s outright insane."

"How is that possible? To kill across realms from the Meridian stage to the Spirit Origin, it’s spine-chilling to think about. Isn’t it said that below Spirit Origin, all are ants? How could Senior Brother do it!" The crowd was in an uproar, Lu Rong’s deeds filled them with excitement, making him a banner figure for Xuri Martial Academy.

"How does Senior Brother do it! If you make it to the Hundred City New Star List, you can do it too. Do you know the criteria for that list? Crossing realms to kill! That’s just the basic requirement!" Someone nearby scoffed and answered calmly.

To cross realms for a kill, yet that’s just the basic requirement!

The crowd couldn’t help but take a deep breath.

Lu Rong’s appearance plunged the disciples into a frenzy. After all, this kind of reputation-building tale never bored them, even if told for a lifetime.

The Hundred City New Star List, individuals who make it, are they not geniuses of the highest order? Usually, it’s a title only belonging to the most prestigious sects, yet now it appears in Xuri Martial Academy. It’s a legend, and they were fortunate enough to witness it personally.

Once the crowd settled for a moment, several elders emerged from the main hall attic.

After the elders in charge of protocol ceremonially completed the necessary rites thereafter.

"The martial academy, due to the special circumstances of this grand ceremony, has established an additional reward. If any disciple contributes enough, any resources from the academy can be exchanged at will, with no limit set."

At this moment, the principal in the center announced loudly.

Upon these words, the crowd erupted again.

Unlimited? What does this mean?

Could it be that the academy’s treasury will fully open, and as long as their contributions are sufficient, they can exchange endless resources?

Before many disciples appeared a wide, open road.

Lin Yuan heard this, feeling a slight sigh in his heart.

What a beautifully drawn pie this offer was.

Resources for unlimited exchange, but the merit? How much can be exchanged is still determined by the academy.

Diligently improving one’s cultivation is the true path; don’t expect to squeeze many good things out of the academy.

But as the disciples boiled over.

A bright light suddenly appeared on the horizon.

When the light emerged, all the Spirit Origin stage deans and sect masters of the martial academy looked intently.

The crowd followed the elders’ gaze to see the bright light growing ever more luminous, as if something was approaching rapidly.

About twenty breaths later.

Gah gah.

A raptor’s cry came from the horizon.

As the light flickered, fifteen fire-ravens flew across the sky, pulling a palatial chariot gleaming in that brilliance.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the fire-ravens flapped their wings a few times. From small dots, they became immensely large raptors.

Upon that carriage, the palace burned with roaring flames, an incredibly imposing sight.

Once the fire-ravens approached, everyone could see just how massive they were.

"What?" Lin Yuan’s eyes flashed with astonishment: "What kind of creature is this? How can it grow so large?"

Their wings spanned thirty zhang, larger by far than the airplanes of his previous life.

As the fire-raven flock circled in the air, they finally hovered above the square.
