Novel Full Chapter 5
He Really Gave Me Too Much…
Ye Qiubai sat cross-legged beside the willow tree with the Green Cloud Sword on his lap, comprehending the sword intent contained in the sword.
Sword qi whistled in his body, and his sword intent slowly filled this world, becoming more and more condensed!
When the willow tree saw this scene, it could not help but think to itself, “Everyone with the Chaos Essence Sword Body has become a Sword Emperor. It seems that these words are not groundless…”
On the other side, Lu Changsheng arrived above the Cottage.
“The power of this Nine Netherworld Formation is much stronger than the array formation in the academy’s treasure vault… However, it’s quite complicated. It took me the entire time required for an incense stick to burn to figure it out.”
The tiers of the array were divided into Heaven, Earth, Black, and Yellow.
The protective array formation of the Hidden Dao Academy was an Earth-Tier array formation.
In comparison, the Nine Netherworld Formation had already far exceeded the Heaven-Tier.
This array formation was quite powerful.
However, the materials required to make it were a difficult problem.
It needed the Thunderstruck Wood, Redwood Heavenly Gold, Black Yellow Earth, and the Phoenix Parasol Tree as the array foundation.
Then, he had to draw water from the River of the Dead as the array spirit to complete the array.
The Thunderstruck Wood, Black Yellow Earth, and Phoenix Parasol Tree were easy to deal with. The Cottage had them in stock.
However, Lu Changsheng did not possess the Redwood Heavenly Gold since he had never left the academy all these years after all!
“Looks like I have to go to the academy’s treasure vault to take a look…”
Thinking of this, he turned around and disappeared.
…
In the Hidden Dao Academy.
The Martial Academy had four halls.
Sword Hall, Array Hall, Pill Hall, and Martial Hall.
There was also a Confucian Faction called the Confucian Faculty.
At this moment, the Dean of the Academy, Qin Tiannan, and the other Elders were discussing important matters in the Conference Hall of the Confucian Faction.
“I heard that the Cottage has taken in a disciple?”
Qin Tiannan looked at everyone and smiled. “I’m a little curious. Who exactly could make that kid Changsheng want to take in a disciple?
Moreover, he actually left the academy for that person and personally went to Tianyuan City.”
In the past few years, Lu Changsheng rarely came out of the Cottage, let alone left the Academy.
Dean Ru also smiled and said, “Maybe he’s grown up and has become more sensible.”
“I hope so. Alright, let’s talk about the Academy Competition first. This involves the communication between our Southern Region Academy and the other three regional academies after all.”
The Martial Hall Elder snorted. “Our Southern Region Academy has already been at the bottom of the rankings for four consecutive years. If we don’t produce some good seedlings, we’ll probably be at the bottom again.”
Qin Tiannan sighed secretly and said, “We can’t force such a thing… However, didn’t someone in our academy comprehend Sword Intent previously?”
Everyone looked at the Sword Hall elder, but the Sword Hall elder shook his head and sighed. “It’s from us.”
“Then who could it be?”
Previously, the sword intent soared into the sky and filled the Hidden Dao Academy. Qin Tiannan wanted to track this aura, but in an instant, the sword intent was hidden by a special barrier.
There was no trace of it at all.
“Then everyone, look for this person first. If he’s a student of our academy, our ranking should move forward this time.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside the door.
“Hey, hey, hey, is anyone there?” When Qin Tiannan heard this tone, he could not help but be speechless. He waved his hand and undid the barrier.
“Enter.” Lu Changsheng pushed the door open and entered. He looked at the elders and cupped his fists with a smile. “Changsheng greets the Dean and the Elders.”
Qin Tiannan covered his head and looked at him with a headache. “What’s the matter?”
Lu Changsheng explained his intentions. “Dean, I want to go to the treasure vault.”
“Treasure vault?”
Qin Tiannan was stunned and asked, “Why are you going to the treasure vault?”
The treasure vault was an important place of the Academy. If he wanted to enter, he had to obtain Qin Tiannan’s approval.
“I’m setting up an array here. I’m still lacking a piece of Redwood Heavenly Gold…”
Redwood Heavenly Gold?
The expressions of the elders changed.
This was an extremely rare array foundation material that could only be chanced upon by luck.
Once it appeared, it would be fought over by various factions.
It was not impossible for a war to break out because of the Redwood Heavenly Gold.
The Array Hall Elder frowned and asked, “Lu Changsheng, what do you want that for? I’ve never heard of you knowing any array formations. Moreover, you shouldn’t be able to set up an array with foundation material like the Redwood Heavenly Gold, right?”
Qin Tiannan waved his hand and interrupted, “Changsheng, I won’t ask what you want the Redwood Heavenly Gold for. I can give it to you, but you have to agree to one condition.”
“Dean! Our Hidden Dao Academy doesn’t have much Redwood Heavenly Gold left!”
Qin Tiannan ignored the objections of the elders and looked at Lu Changsheng.
Lu Changsheng was a little helpless, but it would probably be a little troublesome to get this Redwood Heavenly Gold from outside. He could only nod and say, “Dean, please tell me.”
Qin Tiannan nodded. “It’s very simple. Didn’t you personally go to Tianyuan City to take in a disciple a few days ago? The Academy Competition will begin in a week. At that time, I need your disciple to participate.”
“The Academy Competition. I have to ask him if he’s willing…”
“Then this Redwood Heavenly Gold…”
“It’s fine. He’s my disciple. He won’t dare to go against me.”
Qin Tiannan: “…”
Lu Changsheng sighed inwardly.
Disciple, it’s not that I want to betray you, he’s just giving me too much.
After the matter was settled, Lu Changsheng returned to the Cottage.
At this moment, Ye Qiubai was practicing his sword in front of the straw house.
Sword qi surged, and sword lights were wanton.
Lu Changsheng took a look and said, “The sword energy needs to be restrained. What’s the use of being fancy? It’s flashy but useless.”
Ye Qiubai seemed to have understood something and used his sword again after hearing that.
After the sunset, Ye Qiubai’s current sword technique was not as flashy as before. Instead, it was restrained.
After putting away the sword, Lu Changsheng also walked out of the straw house.
Ye Qiubai immediately cupped his fists and said, “Master.”
“Yes, cultivate well these days. There will be an academy competition in seven days. You will participate in it.”
The Academy Competition?
Battle intent appeared in Ye Qiubai’s eyes.
“Yes, I understand.”
…
At the same time, in the Ye family’s residence in Tianyuan City.
Great Elder Ye Ling looked at his son and smiled, “Yan’er, you’ve been taken in as a disciple by an elder of the Hidden Dao Academy this time. You have to perform well and not embarrass our Ye family.”
After saying that, he looked at Ye Qing disdainfully.
Ye Yan cupped his fists and smiled. “Ye Yan will definitely not let Father down. I will definitely get a good ranking in this Academy Competition and bring glory to our Ye family. I will fight back the pride that Ye Qiubai lost previously!”
Ye Qing’s expression was extremely ugly.
Ye Ling laughed when he heard this. “Hahaha, good, good. We’ll wait for your good news here.”
At the same time, he looked at Ye Qing and patted his shoulder. He said loudly, “Patriarch, my son will support the Ye family in the future. The younger generation of our Ye family will definitely not decline.”
