Chapter 139: This Level of Strength is Inadequate for Yang Xiaotian

The night was tranquil.
In the courtyard, the Sword Qi would at times flow gently, at times surge violently, resembling the roaring waves of a tempest, then again like the calm surface of a lake.
After a few moments, the Sword Qi suddenly dissipated like smoke, wafting slowly away.
As the Sword Qi vanished, Yang Xiaotian’s figure emerged.
A sense of relief filled Yang Xiaotian’s heart. Tomorrow was the entrance examination for Tiandou Academy, and he had finally cultivated the Hundred Swords to beyond the Perfection Realm.
He lifted his hand, and a hundred streams of Sword Qi twined around his fingers—one hundred individual Sword Qi, no more, no less.
These were the Sword Qi of the hundred Stone Swords of the Divine Sword Academy.
Having cultivated all hundred Stone Swords to beyond the Perfection Realm, he could now control the hundred Sword Qi at will.
With a flick of his fingers, Yang Xiaotian sent a hundred streams of Sword Qi flying out, instantly embedding into the stone sculpture ahead.
When Yang Xiaotian left to return to his room to cultivate the Primordial Dragon Art, a breeze blew by, and the seemingly intact stone sculpture began to crumble, pieces fluttering down one by one.
Indeed, just like leaves.
Sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, the Black Tortoise and the Black Dragon—the two Supreme Martial Souls—circled above Yang Xiaotian’s head, exuding an overwhelming aura.
In recent days, under the cultivation of Heavenly Tribulation Thunder Water and Thunder Essence Liquid, the two Supreme Martial Souls had been undergoing constant changes.
The Black Tortoise had grown larger, like a massive expanse of dark land.
The Black Dragon resembled a towering black Divine Mountain.
The Azure Thunder Python coiled in the Medicine Cauldron watched Yang Xiaotian’s Black Dragon Martial Soul with a complex expression. To be honest, the first time it saw Yang Xiaotian’s Black Dragon Martial Soul, it was quite startled.
The presence of the Black Dragon Martial Soul before it brought to mind an extremely ancient legend.
The night would eventually pass.
The sky began to grow bright.
Tiandou Imperial City suddenly burst into noise.
Yang Xiaotian came out of his room and stepped into the courtyard where Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and the others were already waiting.
“Young master.”
“Hall Master.”
Wu Qi, Chen Changqing, and the others came forward to greet him.
Without much conversation, Yang Xiaotian led the group out of the residence, heading towards Tiandou Academy.
The residence wasn’t far from Tiandou Academy, and it wasn’t long before the group arrived at the academy’s plaza.
The plaza was, naturally, teeming with people, making it difficult to move.
Yang Xiaotian’s arrival still caught the attention of many.
“Is that kid Yang Xiaotian? Tsk tsk, not even nine years old and he’s already achieved the King Realm, isn’t that just defying the heavens?”
“Defying the heavens? I heard he got to where he is by popping Elixirs all the way, otherwise, there’s no way he could have reached the King Realm so quickly.”
“The other day, four students from Wuding Academy were beaten up by Yang Xiaotian. He even provoked Guo Wei with his words.”
“Dare to provoke Guo Wei? With Yang Xiaotian’s abilities, isn’t that a bit of a stretch? How many punches do you think Yang Xiaotian can block from Guo Wei?”
“How many punches? Even the Martial King at the sixth tier—the Azure Bear— was blown away by a single punch from Guo Wei. It’s hard to say if Yang Xiaotian can even block one punch from Guo Wei.”
Disciples from various countries, families, and academies murmured among themselves in the surrounding crowd.
Hearing the people discussing Yang Xiaotian’s right and wrong, Chen Changqing, He Le, and the others all frowned.
However, Yang Xiaotian himself remained calm.
“Lin Xiao from War God Academy! Lin Xiao is here!” Just at that moment, suddenly, a strong commotion swept through the crowd in the plaza.
While Yang Xiaotian’s arrival had attracted a good deal of attention, it hadn’t caused a disturbance. But now, with Lin Xiao from War God Academy arriving, all the powerful figures couldn’t help but turn to look, causing a significant commotion.
The presence of Lin Xiao, who possessed the Thousandfold Divine Body, clearly defined his standing in everyone’s hearts.
Yang Xiaotian also looked over.
The square, originally packed to the brim, made way for a path, and at the end of this path, a tall, dark-skinned young man in the War God Academy uniform approached.
Behind the young man was a group of experts from the War God Academy.
This young man was Lin Xiao, one of the three hot favorites to win the championship this time.
Lin Xiao possessed a superior divine body, the Thousandfold Divine Body!
His mere existence was enough to dazzle the Empire.
However, Yang Xiaotian knew that Lin Xiao was far more than just the possessor of the Thousandfold Divine Body; his Martial Dao talent was equally astonishing, having cultivated the War God Academy’s number one Cultivation Technique, the War God Art, to the third level!
And he had reached the peak of the third level.
The War God Art, being the premier Cultivation Technique of the War God Academy, was nearly impossible to master. Reaching the first level alone would shock the crowd, let alone the peak of the third level, especially since Lin Xiao was only just twenty years old.
Surrounded by the crowd, Lin Xiao walked into the square.
“Senior Brother Lin, that kid there is Yang Xiaotian,” a student from the War God Academy said to Lin Xiao.
Following the direction, Lin Xiao glanced at Yang Xiaotian, but after a brief look, he retracted his gaze and no longer focused on Yang Xiaotian. To him, his opponents this time were not Yang Xiaotian, but Guo Wei and Xiao Yong.
Lin Xiao, leading the War God Academy’s experts, walked straight past Yang Xiaotian.
Following Lin Xiao, Xiao Yong and a group of experts from the Tiandou Imperial Family arrived.
Xiao Yong’s arrival likewise caused a strong commotion at the scene.
As he passed by Yang Xiaotian, Xiao Yong huffed coldly and gave Yang Xiaotian a sidelong glance, having received the decree from his Subduing Dragon Sword Sect great-uncle: upon encountering Yang Xiaotian, kill!
Yang Xiaotian, you better pray to the heavens that you don’t come across me later.
Not long after Xiao Yong’s arrival, Guo Wei and a group of elites from the Wuding Academy arrived.
When Guo Wei arrived, the scene shook tremendously, the response of the crowd was even more enthusiastic than at the arrival of Lin Xiao and Xiao Yong.
After all, the loudest clamor for victory in this Tiandou Academy freshman assessment was for Guo Wei.
“Child of Divine Spirit!”
Someone shouted excitedly.
Being the reincarnation of a Divine Spirit, many called him the Child of Divine Spirit.
In the hearts of Wuding Academy and many others, Guo Wei would undoubtedly achieve the Divine Spirit Realm, that is, the Martial God Realm, in a few hundred years.
Amid the excited cries of the crowd, Guo Wei strode in, head held high and chest out, as he entered the square.
“Senior Brother, that little brat is Yang Xiaotian!” four students behind Guo Wei, who had nearly had their guts exploded by Yang Xiaotian, looked at him with hate-filled eyes.
That look in their eyes wished they could tear Yang Xiaotian to shreds.
Guo Wei approached Yang Xiaotian and, standing over him from a higher position, said, “You’re Yang Xiaotian, right? I’ve heard your physical body is also strong. I hope you can withstand one of my punches when the time comes and live up to your title of Divine Yang.”
Guo Wei was quite annoyed at the title of Divine Yang that the students of the Divine Sword Academy had given to Yang Xiaotian.
He was a reincarnation of a Divine Spirit, called the Child of Divine Spirit, and here was Yang Xiaotian, a nobody, also deemed worthy of the Divine Yang title.
“That line should be mine to say to you,” Yang Xiaotian calmly responded. “I hope you can withstand one of my punches when the time comes.”
Suddenly, a group of Wuding Academy students glared at Yang Xiaotian with anger.
A kingdom expert sneered and laughed out, “This Yang Xiaotian really doesn’t know the height of the sky or the depth of the earth. If he truly encounters Guo Wei later, I fear he’ll be so abused he’ll wet himself.”
Many in the crowd laughed out loud..
