Afterward came the exchange among the new students.

Su Li stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the new students of the Divine Sword Academy, and said slowly, “Who will go first? Whoever can withstand three of my moves will be considered the winner against me.”

After exchanging the secret tome, Yang Xiaotian left the Book Pavilion and passed by Hundred Swords Plaza in the academy, where he stopped.

These days, he had not yet attempted to comprehend any of the hundred stone swords in the plaza.

Today, on a whim, he wanted to try and comprehend them.

He remembered that when he first entered the academy and passed by Hundred Swords Plaza, Cheng Beibei had said that if he could comprehend any one of the stone swords, it would mean fortune had truly smiled upon his ancestors.

“Fortune for my ancestors, huh,” Yang Xiaotian muttered to himself before approaching the first colossal stone sword.

Each giant stone sword contained a set of profound and enigmatic swordsmanship, but there were no sword techniques on the surface of the stone swords. One had to personally comprehend the Sword Qi within them.

Yang Xiaotian stood in front of the stone sword, earnestly sensing the Sword Qi contained within it.

In his eyes, everything around him gradually faded.

Only the immense stone sword before him remained in his vision.

Yang Xiaotian felt as though he had entered a vast world of Sword Qi.

In the world of Sword Qi, countless strands twisted and turned in every conceivable pattern.

Each strand of Sword Qi soared unfettered.

Yang Xiaotian contemplated the trajectories of these dancing Sword Qi.

Sometime later, these strands of Sword Qi transformed into sword -wielding figures in his eyes.

Each figure was performing sword techniques.

As sword-wielding figures executed their techniques in succession, the giant stone sword actually began to emanate a light of Sword Qi, growing ever brighter.

At this moment, Su Li, with his sweeping momentum, had defeated the new

students of the Divine Sword Academy.

None of the Divine Sword Academy’s new students could withstand his three moves, as almost all of them were defeated in a single stroke.

Su Li looked at the new students of the Divine Sword Academy, feeling deeply disappointed in his heart.

He had hoped that on this visit to the Divine Sword Academy, some new students would withstand his three moves.

But not a single one had!

Just as Su Li was engulfed in disappointment, suddenly, an astonishing Sword Qi burst skyward from a certain location within the Divine Sword Academy.

The astonishing Sword Qi caught everyone’s attention.

And from the same location, another burst of astonishing Sword Qi shot into the sky.

This Sword Qi was even more formidable than the previous one.

“It’s Hundred Swords Plaza! ”

“Someone has fully comprehended a stone sword!” Cao Lu exclaimed.

Comprehending a stone sword was difficult. Sometimes, three years might pass without anyone achieving full comprehension.

Once someone did fully comprehend a stone sword, it was a significant event for the Divine Sword Academy.

“Let’s go, to Hundred Swords Plaza!” Hu Xing said excitedly, striding quickly towards the plaza.

He had comprehended a stone sword last time.

He never expected that now someone else had comprehended one as well.

He was eager to see who had achieved it.

Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, Cao Lu, and others also swarmed towards Hundred Swords Plaza.

Seeing this, Su Li also joined the teachers and students from the Divine Sea Academy in heading to Hundred Swords Plaza.

Hundred Swords Plaza was one of the legacies of the Divine Sword Academy’s Sword Dao, which Su Li was aware of. He also knew that if someone had fully comprehended a stone sword, it was an extremely remarkable matter.

“I wonder which student it could be?” Su Li couldn’t help but feel curious.

To fully comprehend any of the stone swords at Hundred Swords Plaza was to witness a Sword Dao genius that appeared once in a hundred years.

As Su Li, Hu Xing, Cao Lu, Cheng Beibei, and the others made their way to Hundred Swords Plaza, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also saw the Sword Qi. Filled with surprise and delight, they too quickly headed toward Hundred Swords

Plaza.

At that moment, another astonishing sword qi soared into the sky.

One after another, the sword qi came in quick succession, dazzling to behold.

Lin Yong and Chen Yuan were greatly taken aback.

Sword techniques were contained within the Stone Sword, but only by comprehending the techniques to the Minor Achievement Realm could so much sword qi manifest.

Although Divine Sword Academy had been established for hundreds of years and many students had been able to comprehend the Stone Sword, none had ever directly reached the Minor Achievement Realm upon their first attempt.

Hu Xing, Cao Lu, Cheng Beibei, and others were equally astounded by the sight of so much incredible sword qi.

Everyone quickened their pace.

Soon, they arrived at Hundred Swords Plaza.

They saw the figure standing before the Stone Sword at Hundred Swords Plaza.

Hu Xing, Cao Lu, Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, Xie Chu, Chen Bingyao, and others, upon seeing that figure, were as shocked as if struck by lightning.

“It’s him!” Both Hu Xing and Cheng Beibei had exceedingly gloomy expressions.

Su Li, seeing the reactions of Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and the rest, couldn’t help asking, ‘Who is he?”

“Yang Xiaotian.” Cheng Beibei almost spat out each word through clenched teeth.

Hu Xing, staring at Yang Xiaotian standing in front of the Stone Sword, felt an uncontrollable surge of jealousy.

Never had a student been able to enter the Minor Achievement Realm directly through comprehending the Stone Sword.

Yet Yang Xiaotian had done just that!

And it just had to be Yang Xiaotian.

“It’s him!” Su Li was taken aback upon hearing it was Yang Xiaotian; he truly hadn’t expected the student who was comprehending the Stone Sword to be none other than Yang Xiaotian, a freshman from Divine Sword Academy.

Su Li looked at Yang Xiaotian, who was fully immersed in the world of sword qi from the Stone Sword, and felt a stir in his heart as he walked toward Yang Xiaotian.

Cao Lu, seeing this, hurriedly stepped forward to stop Su Li, barking sharply,

“Su Li, what do you think you’re doing!”

Yang Xiaotian was at that moment deeply engrossed in the world of the Stone Sword’s sword qi, and the last thing he needed was to be interrupted.

An interruption would make it difficult to comprehend the Stone Sword again.

Furthermore, if it was serious, he could even suffer backlash from the sword qi.

Although Cao Lu didn’t look favorably upon Yang Xiaotian, this was a separate matter.

He would not allow anyone to interrupt now that Divine Sword Academy had produced such a sword dao genius.

Su Li, faced with Cao Lu blocking his way, smiled harmlessly and said, “Teacher Cao, don’t be nervous. I mean no harm. We’re here for an exchange with the freshmen, and since Yang Xiaotian is a freshman, I merely wish to spar with him a little, which isn’t too much to ask for, right?”

As he said this, Su Li suddenly launched an attack towards Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, I am Su Li from Divine Sea Academy. Your sword dao talent is so strong; I wonder if you can withstand three strikes from me!”

Cao Lu hadn’t expected Su Li to suddenly make a move and his expression shifted; he rapidly struck out with his palm, trying to break up Su Li’s sword qi, but he was still a step too slow. Some of Su Li’s sword qi still managed to attack Yang Xiaotian.

Just as Su Li’s sword qi was about to hit Yang Xiaotian, suddenly, sword qi burst forth from Yang Xiaotian’s body, blocking Su Li’s attack.

However, Yang Xiaotian’s comprehension was nonetheless interrupted.

Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes, looking coldly towards Su Li.

Seeing he had successfully interrupted Yang Xiaotian, Su Li felt a secret joy and leaped up, launching another sword attack at Yang Xiaotian, “The second strike!”

The sword qi surged violently.

Su Li’s sword qi was dazzling beyond compare.

“It’s the Jinghong Sword Technique!”

The Jinghong Sword Technique was the strongest mandatory martial skill of the first year at Divine Sea Academy.

And Su Li had cultivated it to the brink of Summit Mastery, which spoke volumes of its power.

Watching the incoming strike, Yang Xiaotian suddenly kicked out directly.

Su Li couldn’t even see how Yang Xiaotian had kicked; by the time he reacted, Yang Xiaotian’s foot had already heavily landed on his stomach.

Wham!

Su Li shot back like a catapulted shrimp.

He crashed outside of Hundred Swords Plaza, blood spurting continuously from his mouth.

Yang Xiaotian retracted his foot, eyes cold..
