Chapter 656 Visiting the martial academy

The next day, Feng Yun walked out of Liu Clan. He was going to the academy today. He was going alone, the rest stayed at Liu Clan.

"Feng Yun!" Suddenly, Feng Yun heard a voice.

Feng Yun looked over to see who it was. He saw a young man in white clothes walking toward him excitedly.

"Yao Shi!" Feng Yun recognized the young man and exclaimed happily. It was none other than Yao Shi, his old friend.

"Haha, Brother Feng, It's really you." Yao Shi walked to him and gave him a warm tight hug.

"When did you come here?" After the hug, Yao Shi asked.

"Just a few days ago?" Feng Yun replied, "By the way, how are you?"

"I am good, how about you?" Yao Shi said, "Chat over a drink."

"Sure!"

They entered a restaurant and ordered some wine.

"So, how is it going? How is life in the academy?" Feng Yun asked.

"Well, it is good. I learned many things in the academy. The academy doesn't discriminate among students. No matter what your background is, everyone has the right to learn." Yao Shi said as he shared his experience with Feng Yun.

On the other hand, Feng Yun also shared his experience with Yao Shi.

"... many things happened. I have two children. Anyway, I was promoted to the Sovereign Profound Realm not long ago."

"Puff!..." Yao Shi almost sprouted out the wine in his mouth, he looked at Feng Yun in shock and exclaimed, "What... you have become Sovereign. You are not kidding, right?"

"Nope..." Feng Yun shook his head lightly.

Yao Shi took a deep breath as he looked at Feng Yun and sighed, "Man, you really are a monster. No wonder your destiny star is the brightest one I have ever seen."

"What destiny star?" Feng Yun asked in confusion.

"It's nothing." Yao Shi shook his head.

"By the way, I was just going to the academy to meet you guys. I am kind of looking forward to seeing the infamous academy." Feng Yun said.

"Huh, really. Then it is a good thing we met; I will take you here. I am sure it will not disappoint you." Yao Shi said with a smile.

"That will be good!" Feng Yun nodded.

Next, both of them left the city and went to the academy.

"By the way, the others will be very excited to meet you. I can imagine their expression after they hear about your promotion." Yao Shi laughed.

After hours of traveling, Feng Yun and Yao Shi finally reached the academy that was built in a beautiful mountain range.

As Feng Yun was led by Yao Shi, they entered the academy easily. The structure of the academy was not much different from the sect. Yao Shi gave him a tour of the academy.

"That is Dean's mansion, that is elder's conference building, that is a martial art library, ..."

"There are many interesting places here." Feng Yun thought briefly and spoke.

"Well, there are a few other spots, but they are off-limits to outsiders. Now let's go to meet others." Yao Shi said.

"Hmm!" Feng Yun nodded.

"By the way, why is it looking deserted? Where are the others?" Yao Shi looked around and spoke in confusion. Yao Shi picked a random guy and asked, "Hey, what is going on?"

"Oh, the crown prince is hosting a banquet today. Many people went there." The guy replied. "Other than the crown prince, the second prince and fourth princess are also there."

"Well, let's go to the banquet. We might find others there." Yao Shi said to Feng Yun.

"Royal Family, huh!. Tell me about it." Feng Yun muttered softly as they walked toward the banquet.

"The royal family does have a good amount of influence in the academy. All the princes and princesses come to the academy to study martial arts and gain some influence. The change in the throne is coming close, the prince and princess are trying to increase their influence and power as much as possible to win the throne. And what could be a better place than the academy, where all the geniuses gathered in one place? You can get strong connections, genius supporters, and power in one place." Yao Shi said.

"The Black Tortoise Empire has numerous princes and princesses, but only four have the potential to become emperor in the future. The Crown Prince, second prince, fourth princess, and eighth prince. These four have the highest chance of becoming emperor in the future." Yao Shi as they walked.

"Hmm." Feng Yun nodded.

"By the way, if the fourth princess has come, Yang Jian should be there. Yang Jian kind of has a huge crush on the fourth princess." Yao Shi smiled and spoke.

"Really, that sword maniac finally found a girl after all." Feng Yun laughed.

Soon both of them reached the banquet venue. Hundreds of young men and women were having fun and chatting. There was an arena built in the middle, on that two young men were showing their skills.

Feng Yun and Yao Shi's arrival didn't bring any commotion. They easily blended in with the crowd.

"So where is the fourth prince's group." Feng Yun asked as he looked around.

"There!" Yao Shi said while pointing before starting walking.

Yang Jian was standing within a group and chatting.

"Yang Jian!" Suddenly someone called his name out, Yang Jian curiously turned around to see.

"Yao Shi!" Yang Jian recognized Yao Shi immediately. Just as he about to speak, he paused as he looked at the face of the other person who was walking down beside Yao Shi.

"Feng Yun!" He exclaimed in surprise. If there was a person who most left a big impact in his life, then it must be this young man. This young man came out of know where and surpassed everyone. Yang Jian who was once called number one sword genius in the Long Imperial Dynasty was also surpassed by Feng Yun's sword talent.

"Hello Yang Jian!" Feng Yun said with a light smile. Yang Jian smiled in returned as he moved toward to greet Feng Yun, "Feng Yun, I didn't expect to see you here? How are you?"

"I am good! What about you?" Feng Yun said lightly. Feng Yun had concealed his cultivation right now, didn't want to attract too much attention.

"Good. So, what are you doing here?" Yang Jian curiously asked.

"Just come here to see the legendary academy and meet you guys." Feng Yun replied. "It is pretty great."

"So, what is going on here? Why the banquet all of a sudden?" Yao Shi asked curiously.

"It's the second prince. The second prince breaks through to the Sovereign Profound Realm, that is why he is holding a banquet to celebrate his promotion." Yang Jian said with creased eyebrows. He was a supporter of the fourth princess, and this was not good news for them. Because the crown prince and second prince both became sovereigns, and there was rumor that the eighth prince was also close to promotion while the fourth princess was still lingering on the late stage of Heaven Profound Realm. Her chances of getting the throne were getting slimmer and slimmer.
