Hong Ling casually patted his robes, he sat on the chair and without even looking at the young man, he casually pulled out a grape from the fruit plate and threw it into his mouth, then began to taste it with relish. When the youth in front of him saw him act so arrogantly, a cold light flashed in his eyes.

"Impudent, looks like you haven't taken my words to heart?" The tea bowl in his hands slowly started to boil, a scorching hot Authentic Qi started to surge from his body. He snorted coldly, threw the teacup in his hand fiercely, and poured the tea at Hong Ling. This was rather impolite, pouring tea on others in public was already extremely rude. That cup of tea, after being boiled by his Authentic Qi, was extremely scalding. If it was poured on Hong Ling's body, when he was caught off guard, it could dirty the youth's white clothes and even burn him.

Seeing that he was so rude, Hong Ling's pupils shrank. He casually pointed his finger forward. With a 'chi' sound, a stream of sword Qi shot out from between his two fingers, causing the tea that was spilled to turn into mist. Without slowing down in the slightest, the sword qi had already arrived in front of the youth.

"I'm going against you, how dare you attack me!" The young man casually struck out with his palm, causing flames to gather at his palm and instantly collide with Hong Ling's Sword Qi. However, the sword qi seemed to ignore the flames as it pierced straight through the protective barrier formed by the flames and stabbed into the youth's palm.

With a "puchi", a bloody hole appeared in the youth's palm as blood flew out. He was strong enough. With a groan, he retracted his palm. Everyone shivered. The reason why this youth was able to sit at the leader's seat was not because he was the strongest, but because his talent in martial dao had already allowed him to successfully break through the seventh level of World Barrier. He thought very highly of himself. Other than Lian Chengyu, who was also a seventh stage Innate Ranker, and Zhihuo, he did not put anyone else in his eyes. Hong Ling sitting opposite of him right from the start made him feel very unhappy. In his view, Hong Ling only relied on his own guardian being strong, his own talent was definitely nothing, and was not worthy to be on par with him. However, he was wrong. Extremely wrong.

"Sword intent, you actually comprehended sword intent!" The teenager's face turned extremely gloomy, "Humph, even if you have comprehended the sword intent, you shouldn't be sitting here. Only talented people have the right to a seat! "

Hong Ling rolled his eyes at him, as if he was looking at an idiot who was leading him into a farce. He circled around this young man and glanced at the many young cultivators. He noticed that everyone below was staring at him with eyes full of fighting spirit.

"Is this person the rumored champion of the Everlasting Martial Arts Tournament?!" "What a strong sword aura, what a strong sword intent!" Everyone started to discuss while sizing up Hong Ling.

"Young Master, may I know why you called me here today?" Hong Ling did not bother about the youth who was glaring at him with eyes full of anger, nor did he bother to look at the expressions of the crowd below. Instead, he turned and asked Lian Chengyu.

Lian Chengyu coughed dryly. In fact, Hong Ling's casual strike just now had made him feel a chill. He himself was a heaven's pride expert who had broken through the seventh stage of the World Barrier, and now that he had swapped places with the young man in his mind, he realized that no matter what, he could not withstand Hong Ling's Sword Qi. Others might not be able to sense how powerful the Sword Qi was, but as a Heaven's Pride who had comprehended Sword Intent, Lian Chengyu was able to sense how powerful it was.

"Everyone, I believe everyone should know that the Heaven Assembly will begin soon! In all of the previous sessions of Heaven Assembly, my Tianhuang City was always at the bottom, so this time I am determined to change this situation. A while ago, an elder of Jixia Academy came to my Tianhuang City and discussed with my father. They agreed that those who successfully formed the Purple Golden Dragon Medallion can enter the Academy to cultivate. Of course, after the Heaven Assembly has ended, the Academy will not restrict you from staying. If anyone is willing to continue staying in the Academy, Jixia Academy will also not treat you unfairly! " Lian Chengyu's words were shocking.

"Jixia Academy!" When everyone heard this, their hearts trembled. Everyone knew that Jixia Academy was one of the most powerful forces in the Great Chu Empire. It was not a sect or an aristocratic clan, but more like a school. It would only bring up powerful students, but it would not force these students to join it.

"Young Master, as far as I know, Jixia Academy, ever since the disappearance of Palace Chief Xiao Qingyu three hundred years ago, has gradually declined. There was even a rumor that Jixia Academy had offended some great powers, and before long, he would completely disband! I wonder if this matter is true or false? "

The teenager that was injured by Hong Ling's Sword Qi spoke with confidence and confidence, he did not hesitate at all.

Lian Chengyu frowned, he had just suggested that Jixia Academy could provide some help to the others, and this young man suddenly jumped out to oppose him. Was he purposefully making things difficult for him, making him look bad?

"Huang Tao gongzi, I don't know where you got this information, but if you can successfully obtain the nine purple sacred tokens and fuse them with the one in your possession, then gongzi can choose to go or not go cultivate in the Academy. Of course, the Elders of the academy were the first to say that the academy would open the Martial Scripture Tower to those who entered this time. The academy would also arrange for special teachers to guide them. Sir, don't forget, the Imperial Gemini Temple comes from Jixia Academy. As for the matter of the academy offending a major power, as long as the sacred artifacts are still in the academy, who would dare to have any designs on the academy? " Lian Chengyu replied without a trace of politeness.

Everyone present immediately began to discuss with each other. That's right, as long as the sacred artifact was still there, who would dare to have any ideas about the academy? The existence of the Great Chu Empire Gemini Wall, which was rumored to have reached the realm of the Void Refinement realm, actually originated from Jixia Academy. This caused everyone's heart to boil. This was a character from the legends of the Path of Void. Such a character would be a living legend in his lifetime. Currently, almost all of the Patriarchs of the various families were existences that had reached the realm of Spirit Refinement. However, in front of a cultivator of the Void Refinement realm, these so-called Spirit Refinement cultivators were no different from ants.

Hong Ling slowly got up and looked at Lian Chengyu with a burning gaze.

"Young Master, you said earlier, the Imperial Gemini of the Da Chu Empire came from Jixia Academy?"

Lian Chengyu was shocked by his actions. He could not understand why Hong Ling cared so much about the Imperial Gem. Still, he nodded.

"That's right, the Imperial Duo, the Marquis Hong Qing who was born in the royal family, and the Marquis of Heaven, Lu Ying, are all Jixia Academy's students!" Lian Chengyu said very seriously, but in truth, he did not know about all of this previously. In fact, if Jixia Academy had not taken the initiative to spread the news, perhaps not many people in the entire Chu would know about it.

Hearing this, Hong Ling was overjoyed. He knew that he had finally found some news about his father. As long as he entered Jixia Academy, in the future, he would actually obtain more information about his father, the champion duke.

"What request does Jixia Academy have? Does it mean that as long as you have the Golden-purple Dragon Medallion, you can cultivate inside?" Someone asked, even if Jixia Academy was truly as decayed as the rumors said, just the fact that he was able to cultivate the Great Chu Empire Twin Webs was enough to make people yearn for him. Moreover, the academy would open the Martial Scripture Tower for free.

"That's not the case. Other than possessing the Golden-purple Dragon Medallion, the Academy's requirements must be met through special examinations. And the content of the assessment is related to the demon race whose activities have become more and more rampant recently! " Lian Chengyu said.

The spectators didn't understand what was going on. After hundreds of years of recuperation, many people had already forgotten about the existence of the Monster race. However, there were still some information regarding the Monster race left in the various major clans. Legend has it that the demons did not come from this world but from outer space. Their ancestors were great primordial demons from the ancient times. Apart from the demon race, there were many other foreign races. However, their souls were not human. Many humans possessed the blood of Demonic Beast, but in essence, their souls still belonged to Human Clan, just like Hong Ling and Lian Chengyue.

However, this was not the case for the demon race and other foreign races. Legend has it that in the Primordial Era, hundreds of races lived together with Human Clan in this space. However, it was unknown when the various races started to clash with each other in a constant barrage of war, causing the entire world to be in a state of bloodbath. Later on, a powerful Human Emperor appeared within the Human Clan, led many saints and expelled these foreign races. After that, the entire earth became the place where the Human Clan flourished and flourished. However, the Hundred Clans had been plotting to return and overthrow the rule of the Human Clan.

Hong Ling sank into deep thought. In the past few days, he had also obtained some useful rumors from the books left behind by the four elders. At this moment, he had no choice but to seriously consider the consequences of the Academy's assessment. Without a doubt, compared to Human Clan, other races have naturally strong powers, and they even know how to cultivate. Furthermore, they are very strong. A race like the Goblin Tribe, in the Primordial Era, was practically superior to the Human Clan. Now, even if he was expelled to another world, he still could not be underestimated. It could be said that a battle with a demon clan was almost guaranteed to result in a narrow escape. However, Hong Ling had no other choice. If he wanted to obtain news from his parents, he had to enter Jixia Academy.

"Young master, when does the academy plan to start the assessment of the person who obtained the Golden Dragon Order?" Hong Ling asked.

Lian Chengyu thought for a while, then shook his head. At this moment, he looked somewhat helpless, or perhaps, he was just too weak.

"In fact, I don't know. The academy hadn't given us a definite time yet, and there's still more than a year's time before Heaven Assembly. So right now, our most important matter is actually to finish the fusion of the Purple Gold Dragon Decree as a matter of priority. Of course, I know that all of you have the Purple Gold Divine Token on you right now. However, according to what I know, due to my Tianhuang City's heaven's pride level, my previous Heaven Assembly performance was too poor, so compared to some large cities, my ranking was limited. I counted and realized that my Tianhuang City only had five slots. That is to say, among everyone present here, including me, only five will be able to stand out. Therefore, these five must be the strongest five! " Lian Chengyu said with a smile, he was not worried about whether or not he would be qualified.

Just as Lian Cheng Yu finished speaking, a figure had already entered the main hall. It was the mayor of Sky Desolate City, the great cultivator with the Void Refinement Stage, Lian Chenglie. Beside him was a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe and the appearance of a scholar. The crowd was unable to sense his aura. "Before anyone could react, the man spoke first.

"Young masters, I am Jixia Academy's mentor, named Nangong Yu. This time, I have been ordered to take out a magical equipment that I have always worshipped from Jixia Academy, the legendary Century-round Meridian. I am willing to use this sacred artifact to help select the five strongest among you. Furthermore, I, Jixia Academy, am willing to compensate the losers with a God Transforming Pellet and a Yellow Rank magical equipment! " The middle-aged man said this with a smile.
