Li Na was worried too, looking at her eldest son whose face was filled with expectations, she knew in her heart that no matter how much she wants, she can't keep her son are safe from harm all the time, and if Li Jie wished to work on towards his goal of cultivation, then she doesn't have the right to be selfish, and for Li Jie's happiness, she could only nod.

Li Jie beamed with happiness, finally with all the hard work that he has put into his training, he will have the chance to compete with everyone from the continent, Li Jie was very excited about the upcoming entrance examination.

"You will be following the team representing the Li family for the entrance examination, and I will arrange for your safety, just follow every instruction of your seniors, remember they are strong and have ample experience for explorations", said Li Wei in a serious expression.

Li Jie nodded, he couldn't just tell him or show how stronger he has gotten nor can he show his experiences to his parents that's why he could only concede to his father's arrangement for the upcoming entrance examination.

"Whatt, this is so wrong, you both stop us from any kind of thing related to cultivation, but elder brother is so easily allowed to go for training, that too somewhere soo exciting", said Li Shuangyan with tears in her eyes.

The patriarch of the Li family felt like he was going to have a bad headache, the twins have always been a bunch of trouble, and sadly his daughter Li Shuangyan is more of a headache to him, who questions everything, it has troubled him many times, "Shuangyan'er dear, I know that even without cultivating, you both have gotten stronger, but that doesn't mean that it's safe for you and you both are also of not the required age to participate in the entrance examination trials, when the time comes, you will then get to cultivate as well, as for why we don't want you to cultivate yet is because I have my own reasons, but the most I can tell you is that, if you were to start cultivating now, it will be dangerous, so when the right time comes, you will get your chance to cultivate", said the patriarch of the Li family.

Li Shuangyan nodded her head, showing her understanding, whereas Li Zhengji just nodded from the side, he wasn't as much interested in cultivation as his sister, but he did like to battle, whereas Li Jie was contemplating something in his mind, he was also wondering why did his parents not let his younger twin brother and sister cultivate, because he was also aware of their powerful bloodline as well as their special physiques, he made a note in his mind to ask his master about this.

After talking more about their interests, all of them went back to their rooms after dinner.

Li Jie went back to sleep, while he waiting with anticipation for when will the entrance examination be conducted, there hasn't been a certain time for it to occur, it can take two weeks to two months, Li Jie closed his eyes in hope for what Mr.Teacher has told him about, in these five years his master has never even once mentioned about intents, except for the part that he has to grasp it on his own, but when he came back from the forest, his master had informed him about tomorrow that he will be teaching him how to grasp onto his intent and how he could use it more efficiently, this made Li Jie too excited to sleep.

The next day, Li Jie woke up and started performing his exercises, as usual, he went to the training pagoda, where his master was sitting with his eyes closed, Li Jie first bowed towards him and sat beside him.

Mr.Teacher opened his eyes the moment Li Jie came beside him, He then looked towards Li Jie and asked, "Li Jie as I recall, you have used intent while fighting the beasts, what you don't know is that because of the extreme danger that you were facing, you used it subconsciously, without knowing much, if I were to ask you now to perform it, you won't be able to, while getting in contact with an intent is the biggest obstacle a person faces, thankfully you have crossed that hurdle, but you still have to learn to grasp it and use it whenever you like, it is important for you to understand that without practice and hard work, even if you are the son of heaven, you won't go that far in the path of cultivation".

Li Jie nodded in understanding, "Yes master I understand, but there is something which I don't understand is, why do you say intent and not sword intent, have I not cultivated the sword intent, master", asked Li Jie in worry.

Looking at his disciple's face, Mr.Teacher chuckled, "Kid, If it was this easy to form your own sword intent, then won't there be sword intents as common as cabbages".

Li Jie felt embarrassed by his master's words, "While you haven't yet comprehended the sword intent, doesn't mean you didn't", said Mr.Teacher in an ethereal tone.

"Master, I don't understand what you mean to say", asked Li Jie with a nervous expression.

"While you haven't yet comprehended the sword intent, at least for now you have started on to the first step of the sword intent, what you have comprehended can be called a part of sword intent, while many will mistake your intent to be a sword intent, it isn't, a true sword intent is something personal to a cultivator, a true sword intent will have all of your characteristics, personality, thoughts and most importantly "will", the intent that you have comprehended is a mixture an elemental intent and your sword intent, the element that your intent is mixed with is of the earth category, and that to the mountain intent, so you can say the intent that you currently have is that of a "Mountain Sword Intent", Earth element is one of the basic elements as well as a very profound element, which even if you spend your whole lifetime in understanding it, you won't be able to even get a drop of understanding in it, so there are many minor elemental intents under the earth element, the one you are comprehending is the Mountain Intent under the Earth Intent category, but you should know, that no two intents are the same, while they can be somewhat similar to a degree, but they cannot be exactly identical to each other, which is due to the understanding of elements by different people, everyone has their own comprehension of the element, this is also why teaching of intents is forbidden, because even if a teacher is master of that intent, his advice can be harmful to others, the most important thing in comprehending intents is to believe in yourself, and not be easily swayed by words of others and have complete confidence in yourself".

Li Jie nodded in understanding, he understood that if he wishes to have a better grasp on his intent, then he will have to have increased his belief in himself, "Master, how did you know that I have comprehended a mountain sword intent, even I didn't know which intent it is, and how can I comprehend the complete sword intent", asked Li Jie in confusion.

"The reason that I know about the nature of your intent is that it had this heaviness and all-encompassing powerful feeling which was similar to mountains, as for how you should comprehend the true sword intent, that is for later, for now just practice on getting a better grasp on your current intent and increase your proficiency in it, only when you have mastered your current intent, then will we talk more about sword intent", said Mr.Teacher.

Li Jie nodded and understood that he shouldn't bite more than he can chew, he should be patient and with time he will be able to learn about sword intent next time.

Looking at his disciple's patience made Mr.Teacher feel pleased towards his character because those who are impatient only wallow in their own troubles.

"There is still sometime before going for the entrance examination, for now, cease all training and give your body rest, while using this time to comprehend about your intent better", said Mr.Teacher.

"But Master How do I learn about my intent", asked Li Jie in confusion.

"it's quite simple, all you have to do is to try understanding the elements present in your intent as well as yourself, for example, you have the sword and mountain both mixed in your intent, so what you have to do is to try understanding about swordsmanship and the kind which is most suitable to you, only those which is suitable to you, can help you in comprehending them easier, the same is with the Mountain intent, now you can leave and go try comprehending these on your own, I can't help you more than this", said Mr.teacher.

"Yes, master I understand", said Li Jie, after which he got up and he moved out of the training pagoda.
