Sovereign of the Heaven - C238

In the middle was Principal Mu Zhongli. On his left was the Vice Principal of the Famous Sword Academy, Zhao Fusheng, and on her right was the Vice Principal of the Clear Water Academy, Ping Song. And behind them were the three important teachers of the three academies.

On the far left was the great general Ai Lun of the Thousand Autumn Dynasty. The competition between the three great academies was held every five years and it was held with tremendous momentum. The Flame Emperor had personally come to watch it in the past, but because of the Flame Emperor’s special future, she had been watched by General Ai Lun today.

One of them would be chosen as the seed, thus it was possible for him to temporarily stay away from the stage. The other four would be divided into two groups, and each group would have their own students fight off the loser. The loser would be eliminated, and the loser would be allowed to continue to stay and fight.

The competition at Lifestealer Realm had already ended, and the Sky Realm Academy had won the battle in the end. However, Lifestealer Realm was considered the base realm of the warriors, so no one would care if he won, as the true competition was Martial King Realm.

“Xiyue.” Mu Zhongli stood up and looked at a graceful woman. “You go first.”

“Yes.” Xiyue walked out from the crowd. She wore a white robe, and her long hair draped over her shoulders.

Just then, Ping Song also stood up, and shouted to a man: “Gu Yun, you go.”

A man dressed in white walked up onto the stage from within the Clear Water Academy. The two of them bowed and saluted with their hands folded in front.

“Half-Moon Chop.” Xiyue leapt up, and a crescent shaped blade shot out from her Spirit Sword.

Ruo Yun was not to be outdone. He welcomed the sword blade with his fist, and the wind from his fist transformed into a white tiger: “White Tiger Roar.”

With a rumbling sound, the two clashed and a ripple spread out. The white tiger and the wind blade were defeated at the same time, but Ruo Yun was forced to retreat while Xiyue remained motionless.

Xi Yue followed up on her victory and pointed her sword at Ruo Yun. Ruo Yun used the White Tiger Roar to fight it out and fought several times with it.

Ping Song shook his head slightly. Although Ruo Yun had not used his elemental energy yet, he still lost if this continued, and immediately shouted: “We’ve lost this battle. Ruo Yun, you can withdraw.”

Ruo Yun was also a person who was self-aware, so he obediently withdrew.

Mu Zhongli smiled and looked at Xiyue with satisfaction, telling her to leave as well.

Following that, two more people went up the stage. This time, Clear Water Academy sent a woman called Qiu Qing, and Sky Realm Academy sent a man called Fan Yang. The two of them were similarly Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm experts.

Qiu Qing and Fan Yang bowed to each other. After which, Qiu Qing took out a long spear and pointed it towards Fan Yang, her long hair fluttering in the wind.

Fan Yang punched out with all his might, and the force of his punch turned into a three meter long fist shadow as it flew towards Qiu Qing.

Qiu Qing’s spear slammed into Fan Yang’s fist shadow, and with a loud bang, the fist shadow instantly disintegrated. Fan Yang’s attack had no effect on it at all.

“Impossible,” Fan Yang revealed an expression of disbelief. In the next moment, Qiu Qing’s spear was pointed at Fan Yang’s shoulder, and with a forceful lift, Fan Yang was sent flying. He landed heavily on the ground and rolled over a dozen times before stopping.

“What an overbearing woman.” Mu Zhongli admired her a little as he laughed: “This match was a loss to our Sky Realm Academy.”

Hearing this, Qiu Qing stepped down from the stage.

Mu Zhongli continued: “Sky Realm Academy’s duel and Clear Water Academy’s duel has ended. Next up is the competition between Sky Realm Academy and Clear Water Academy.”

The three great academies were competing in two matches, and now that they had won each one of the matches, it was all up to Famous Sword Academy’s performance.

“Nan Lian, you come,” said Mu Zhong as she looked at a petite young girl.

The young lady wore a set of black clothes and stood at the center of the crowd. She walked up the stage and calmly looked at the people from Famous Sword Academy.

Zhao Fusheng stood up, looked at An Yang and laughed: “An Yang, you may go.”

An Yang was a direct disciple of the Famous Sword Academy. A while ago, he had suddenly displayed Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm when the wizard tower came out, and now, she was the first one to go on stage.

“Please advise me,” An Yang bowed as he looked at Nan Lian.

Nan Lian also bowed towards An Yang, then with a step forward, she took out two short swords and slashed at An Yang.

An Yang immediately summoned his Spirit Sword to meet it head on, and as they clashed, a metallic sound of impact rang out. An Yang was knocked back a few steps, but Nan Lian didn’t move at all.

“So powerful,” An Yang didn’t dare to be careless, and he tapped on the center of his brows again as the Sword Martial Spirit flew out, striking towards Nan Lian.

When Nan Lian saw that the martial soul was still calm, she put her hands together and directly made the two short swords into a sword. After it was synthesized, it became much stronger and she swung it towards An Yang’s martial soul.

Puff!

An Yang’s Sword Martial Spirit was immediately pushed back, the martial soul shook, and almost collapsed.

“It’s that powerful?” An Yang’s face changed as he hurriedly retracted the martial soul.

At this time, Zhao Fusheng stood up and sighed: “An Yang, you’ve lost, you can leave.”

If not, An Yang’s martial soul would have already been destroyed. She bowed to Nan Lian in gratitude, but he still calmly left the stage.

Mu Zhongli laughed, as if he wasn’t surprised in the slightest, then looked towards another person and yelled: “Huang Zhan, next is you.”

Back then, he and Di Chen had entered the Sky Realm Academy together, and even had a feud with Di Chen. However, later on, he was defeated by Di Chen, and his older brother, Huang Ting, took revenge, but who would have thought that he would instead destroy the martial soul. Huang Ting was unconvinced, and in the end, stole the martial soul from Huang Zhan, but Huang Ting still defeated him.

Huang Zhan walked up the stage. Back then, he was also a genius and exceptionally arrogant. Now that he had received another fortuitous encounter, however, he had long since lost his arrogance and appeared abnormally calm.

Zhao Fusheng looked at Li You and called out, “You may go.”

Li You walked onto the stage and bowed to Huang Zhan. She knew that she would definitely not be able to defeat Huang Zhan with a normal cultivation technique.

Huang Zhan did not show any weakness and used the same technique on the Sword Martial Spirit. He used the Sword Martial Spirit before he was robbed, and he started to cultivate again later on.

The two Sword Martial Spirit intersected, and released waves after waves of powerful energy. It was just that Li You’s martial soul was clearly weaker than Huang Zhan’s martial soul, and in a moment, Li You’s martial soul was at a disadvantage. The martial soul was one person’s strongest technique, if the martial soul could not even win against its opponent, then Li Jun naturally did not need to fight anymore.

“I’ve lost …” Li You also saw the situation clearly, and quickly admitted defeat, placing the martial soul between his brows.

In truth, Huang Zhan did not use his full strength just now. According to his previous temperament, he would have destroyed Li You’s martial soul long ago.

The two battles between the Sky Realm Academy s ended with the Famous Sword Academy losing.

Mu Zhongli smiled, looked at Zhao Fushui and said, “Admit it.”

Zhao Fusheng said calmly: “Sky Realm Academy has outstanding talent, my Famous Sword Academy admits that she is inferior.”

Although he said that he did not care, he was worried that it would upset him. The following match was between the famous sword and Clear Water Academy, and if he did not win two rounds, Famous Sword Academy would be in danger.

Just then, Mu Zhongli stood up again, and said: “Next, the students of Famous Sword Academy and Clear Water Academy are invited onto the stage.”

Ping Song shouted: “Tian Hong, you go.”

A white-clothed man with long, flowing hair walked out. He gave off a very refined feeling, but there was an evil light in his eyes. He was most likely a dangerous character.

Zhao Fusheng also shouted, “Mu Feng, you come.”

Mu Feng had also entered the wizard tower before, so he had some grudges with Di Chen. In the end, he was defeated by Di Chen, but as a direct disciple, his cultivation was naturally not weak either.

“Please advise me,” Mu Feng said as he bowed. After that, he brought out a Spirit Sword and waved the sword.

The spirit energy formed into 12 sword qi, the Clear Wind 12 Sword Art was one of the Famous Sword Academy’s top 10 sword arts.

Tian Hong was not afraid of the sword qi. Instead, she revealed a playful smile. He casually threw out a punch, and a terrifying wind blew past. The twelve sword qi were instantly dispersed.

“What?” Mu Feng was shocked, the Twelve Sword Arts of Clear Water was his most powerful move, how could it be defeated so easily?

Mu Feng immediately tapped on the center of his brows, wanting to use Sword Martial Spirit, but at the same time, Tian Hong stepped forward, instantly appearing in front of Mu Feng, with two of his fingers on Mu Feng’s chest, he directly sent him flying backwards, Mu Feng spat out a mouthful of blood, he lost his ability to fight, and did not even have the chance to use his martial soul.

Tian Hong smiled, as if she wasn’t surprised that she would win. She bowed to the three chairmen and casually stepped down from the stage.

Ping Song laughed and said: “Xiao-shu, the next one is you.”

Zhao Fusheng originally wanted to let another direct disciple take the stage, but it was just that Famous Sword Academy had already lost three matches, losing would be too embarrassing. He immediately looked at a woman in the distance and said: “Come.”

When Liu Jingjing walked onto the stage, the seeded participant was originally Di Chen, but because Di Chen’s whereabouts were unknown, and his fate was unknown, Zhao Fusheng made Liu Jingjing a seeded participant. But now that Famous Sword Academy had lost two rounds, he could no longer lose face, so Zhao Fusheng made Liu Jingjing go up.

Liu Jingjing had been a student of the Famous Sword Academy before, so many people recognized her. Upon seeing her, everyone was astonished.

“Principal Zhao, why did she go to Famous Sword Academy?”

Mu Zhongli didn’t pay attention to Liu Jingjing before this.

Zhao Fusheng laughed out loud: “I met her at Millennium City earlier, and saw that her talent was not bad, so I let her join Famous Sword Academy. At that time, she was still at the Lifestealer Realm, I didn’t think that he would already be at the Ninth Layer of the Martial King Realm today.”

Liu Jingjing had left two years ago, and at that time, she was only at Lifestealer Realm. Logically speaking, even if she had broken through her Martial King Realm, she still wouldn’t be qualified to participate in the competition, yet she represented the Famous Sword Academy today, and she was already this strong?
