Weapons below True Artifacts are not graded, and are all considered ordinary weapons.
From kitchen knives to ‘treasured swords’ that could easily slice iron, all are ordinary weapons.
The tiger-head broadsaber Lu Yun currently uses is a top-quality ordinary weapon, capable of carrying powerful Pure Yang Aura and killing third rank Demon Beasts without breaking.
However, even if the tiger-head broadsaber is a top-tier ordinary weapon, it still has its limits.
Once Lu Yun enters the True Qi Realm and refines his aggressive aura a few times or engages in several battles, the broadsaber will eventually break.
True Artifacts, on the other hand, are different. Not only can they carry True Qi, but they can also carry a higher level of True Origin.
Now, the elder with the highest status in the Flying Spirit Martial Academy personally promised to reward them with a Superior True Artifact if they can pass the tenth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower within half a year. This is a huge temptation for Lu Yun and Xiao Chen.
Touching the tiger-head broadsaber on his back, a determined look appeared in Lu Yun’s eyes.
If he wasn’t afraid of causing too much commotion, he would even want to go back to the Myriad Phenomena Tower immediately and break through the tenth floor.
“What do you think? Do you two have confidence?” Ye Xingchen showed a kind smile on his experienced face.
“We, the disciples, will certainly do our best.” Lu Yun and Xiao Chen bowed their fists at the same time.
Ye Xingchen smiled and nodded, then reached out to stroke his grizzled beard. His eyes, filled with vicissitude, looked at the distant horizon, seemingly gazing at the stars across the sky.
“Knowing the grand from the humble, seeing a falling leaf and knowing the years are ending.”
“I’m getting old, getting old!”
Then, he remained silent and continued to gaze into the depths of the sky.
“Dean, we will take our leave first!”
Chen Tianyun said respectfully, then left with Lu Yun and Xiao Chen.
As soon as they stepped out of the door, the wooden rocking chair started to creak as it moved within the courtyard, gradually dissipating in all directions.
After leaving the Dean’s cultivation place through the secluded path, Chen Tianyun said solemnly, “Although the Dean may look old, when it comes to strength, no one in the Spirit Martial Prefecture can beat him.”
“Even when looking at the entire Ling Province, there are only a few people who can barely compete with the Dean.”
Chen Tianyun said all this with a proud expression on his face.
“May 1 ask what realm the Dean is in?”
Lu Yun suddenly asked.
Chen Tianyun just glanced at Lu Yun lightly, shook his head slightly, and didn’t answer.
Feeling confused, Lu Yun didn’t continue to ask any further.
Perhaps seeing potential in Lu Yun, Chen Tianyun eventually gave him a hint.
“The Dean is now over two hundred years old.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Yun didn’t react at first.
Only after a dozen breaths did a shocked expression appear on his face.
Martial artists in the True Qi Realm and below have a lifespan not much longer than ordinary people, with a maximum limit of one hundred years.
Only by advancing to the Transforming Origin Realm and converting True Qi into True Origin could one cleanse the body and increase their life expectancy.
The Transforming Origin Realm would add ten years to one’s life expectancy.
After advancing to the Origin Fluid Realm, the Qi transforms into liquid and the True Origin becomes more refined and powerful. Cleansing the body would add another twenty years to one’s life expectancy.
In the Golden Body Realm, by practicing Cultivation Techniques to break through the mortal body and attain an indestructible Gold Body, the body’s functions undergo a transformation, further adding fifty years to one’s life expectancy.
And the Dean, who’s already old and declining, has lived for more than two hundred years!
Just a few days later,
the news of two new disciples clearing the eighth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower spread throughout the Flying Spirit Martial Academy like wildfire.
Lu Yun and Xiao Chen became famous new disciples, following Bai Haoxuan, who had already made a name for themselves at the Flying Spirit Martial Academy.
There were tens of thousands of disciples in the Flying Spirit Martial Academy, which was vast in size.
Disciples who were well-known throughout the Flying Spirit Martial Academy were either powerful individuals who had left their names on the Myriad Phenomena Jade Wall or geniuses like Bai Haoxuan, who had an innate talent of Level 6.
It was rare, if not impossible, to find someone like Lu Yun and Xiao Chen who had made a name for themselves with Level 5 innate talents.
When their fellow Level 5 disciples who entered the academy around the same time heard the news, they were all astounded.
Clearing the seventh floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower was already insane, and that Lu Yun and Xiao Chen could pass the sixth, seventh, and eighth floors in one fell swoop was just monstrous.
Nevertheless, they did not feel jealousy but only envy and boundless motivation.
When the gap between their rivals and themselves was small, others would be jealous, but when the gap was large enough, jealousy would turn into envy.
Within three months of entering the academy, Lu Yun and Xiao Chen, who had cleared the eighth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, had completely outpaced their fellow Level 5 disciples and became someone they looked up to.
So when they heard that Lu Yun and Xiao Chen had cleared the eighth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, they were excited and couldn’t help but strive to catch up.
“We all have Level 5 innate talents. If Xiao Chen and Lu Yun can clear the eight floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower in just three months, then I, Wang Teng, refuse to believe that I can’t clear the seventh floor!”
From the elite disciple courtyard, No.3013, a purple-robed youth with an extraordinary demeanor walked out, heading straight for the Myriad Phenomena Tower.
“Hmph, it’s been a while since 1 last went to the Myriad Phenomena Tower. Today, I’ll see what’s so great about Ma Yunfei that allows him to call himself the ‘second person’ among the new disciples.”
At the same time, in the living area for ordinary disciples, inside a room,
Crack!
Dressed in luxurious clothes, looking like a refined gentleman, Mu Qingyun crushed the jade cup in his hand as a trace of cruelty flashed across his handsome face.
“Damn, why is it that you, a mere young master from a small manor, can surpass me and even stand out in the such a talent-filled place like the martial academy?”
A young man sitting opposite him hurriedly said, “Qingyun, you mustn’t get upset. Lu Yun’s not the same as he was before. Not only is he powerful, but he’s also valued by the higher-ups of the academy. If you offend him, even the families and forces behind you won’t end up well.”
Mu Qingyun subtly withdrew the cruelty from his face, replacing it with helplessness, “I purely envy Lu Yun. Why is it that he has no family or resources, and yet he’s been able to smoothly progress with ever-growing strength.”
“Now, he’s even cleared the eighth floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower, becoming a person of great significance in Flying Spirit Martial Academy and even the entire Spirit Martial Prefecture.”
“And 1, Mu Qingyun, even with the full backing and support of my family’s resources, still linger at the beginning of the Meridian Passage Realm, barely able to pass even the second floor of the Myriad Phenomena Tower!”
The young man in front of him shook his head with a complicated expression, “This has already gone beyond whether you have the support of your family or resources. There are so many disciples in the academy, including those from great aristocratic families in the Spirit Martial Prefecture. They are barely known in an academy filled with talents. However, Lu Yun can compete with Level 6 talent Bai Haoxuan. This proves something, if you think about it.”
Mu Qingyun shook his head slightly with a bitter smile, “I know what you’re saying, and I’m fully aware of it. But I saw his humiliation and weakness with my own eyes.”
Hearing this, the young man sitting opposite him quickly interrupted, “You must never do anything beyond your abilities.”
“Don’t worry. I’m not that foolish. Instead, I’ll find a time to apologize to Lu Yun and beg for his forgiveness.”
“As long as you say so, I’m relieved. You don’t have to befriend someone as talented as Lu Yun, but you absolutely must not offend him!”
At this time, Lu Yun had already come to the Book Collection Pavilion and headed straight to the second floor.
The first floor of the Book Collection Pavilion was free to enter, while the second floor housed Superior Martial Arts, which required spending ten Contribution Points to access.
For someone like Lu Yun, who already possessed a considerable amount of Contribution Points, this was naturally not worth mentioning..
