Guo Wei’s voice echoed in the great hall.

It was no wonder that Guo Wei was so confident, only he knew deeply how terrifying the Ancient Strongest Body Refining Art he cultivated truly was.

When he participated in the academy competition of Wuding Kingdom, he had always suppressed his strength, using only a small portion of his power with each punch.

Because he was afraid that if he struck with his full strength, all the competing disciples from Wuding Country would be blasted apart.

Just as Guo Wei was concerned that his full-force punch might blow Yang Xiaotian apart, the higher-ups of Tiandou Academy were discussing the situation of this year’s enrollment.

Dean Xie Hong of Tiandou Academy looked at the various elders and smiled, “This time, who do you think will take first place? Is it Guo Wei, or Xiao Yong and Lin Xiao?”

Clearly, Xie Hong and the other high-level officials also unanimously favored Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao, believing that the three of them had the highest chance of securing the top spot in this new student assessment.

Based on the strength displayed by various students during the academy competition among the forty-six countries, there was no doubt that Guo Wei, Xiao Yong, and Lin Xiao were the strongest.

The Great Elder Zhong Yun of Tiandou Academy laughed and said, “I favor Guo Wei. It is said that Guo Wei has cultivated the Ancient Body Refinement Art and his physical body is extremely terrifying, his iron fists are indestructible, and nobody can withstand a punch from him.”

He continued, “Furthermore, everyone knows about his swordsmanship talent, being the most talented in swordsmanship that Wuding Academy has seen in hundreds of years.”

“I have talked with the Dean of Wuding Academy, and Guo Wei has already perfected two Supreme Divine Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm!”

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.

“What, he perfected two Supreme Divine Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm?” Vice Dean Fan Riquan couldn’t believe it.

Supreme Divine Power is extremely difficult to cultivate; many strong cultivators cannot perfect even one Supreme Divine Power in their lifetime.

Yet Guo Wei perfected two Supreme Divine Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm.

The key point is that Guo Wei was only in his twenties!

Such Sword Dao talent is indeed rare.

“Yes, half a year ago, Guo Wei had already perfected two Supreme Divine Sword Techniques to the Perfection Realm,” the Great Elder Zhong Yun said. “Now, it’s possible that Guo Wei has already perfected three Supreme Divine Powers to the Perfection Realm.”

Three Supreme Divine Powers, Perfection Realm!

Xie Hong and the high-level officials of Wuding Academy were shaken.

“If this is true, then Guo Wei’s swordsmanship talent is absolutely the highest among the more than four hundred students participating in the assessment. Even Yang Xiaotian cannot compare to Guo Wei,” Xie Hong exclaimed.

Although Yang Xiaotian had comprehended a hundred Stone Swords from Divine Sword Academy, in the eyes of Xie Hong and others, Guo Wei’s talent in swordsmanship was even greater.

“With a Sword Dao genius like Guo Wei joining our Tiandou Academy, it is a fortune for our academy,” Fan Riquan said with relief. “Perhaps in the future, he will be able to wield our academy’s Controlling Dragon Sword!”

Xie Hong, Zhong Yun, and others nodded in agreement.

“However, although Guo Wei’s talent and strength are strong, Lin Xiao’s talent and strength are not weaker than Guo Wei’s,” Second Elder Zhu Chenhui spoke. “Lin Xiao has the Thousandfold Divine Body!”

Thousandfold Divine Body!

Upon hearing Second Elder Zhu Chenhui mention Lin Xiao’s Thousandfold Divine Body, the hearts of those present were greatly shocked.

Even in the entire Divine Dragon Empire, geniuses with a natural Divine Body were incredibly dazzling.

Let alone the high-tier Divine Body, the Thousandfold Divine Body.

Xie Hong laughed, “If Guo Wei and Lin Xiao were to fight, it would undoubtedly be extremely exciting. What do you think, whose physical body is stronger, Guo Wei’s or Lin Xiao’s?”

The crowd did not know how to answer for a moment.

“`

One cultivated the Ancient Body Refinement Art, his physical strength so great that no one could withstand his punch.

The other naturally possessed a superior Divine Body, equally terrifying in physical strength.

“His Highness Xiao Yong has cultivated the Stars Infinity Technique, and his Martial Soul is that of the Ancient Stellar Gods. His strength is no weaker than Guo Wei’s or Lin Xiao’s,” Elder Sun Ze said.

As Sun Ze mentioned the Stars Infinity Technique, everyone in the great hall was filled with astonishment.

The Stars Infinity Technique was the most powerful cultivation technique of the Tiandou Imperial Kingdom’s royal family and one of the strongest among the several great techniques of the kingdom.

They were all well aware of the might of the Stars Infinity Technique.

Subsequently, the discussion among the high-ranking officials of the Tiandou Academy turned to Yang Xiaotian and several other students who had displayed impressive performances.

“Yang Xiaotian has a dual-element eleventh grade Martial Soul and remarkable talents in Sword Dao; he is also a genius with an extremely high talent for Alchemy,” Xie Hong said. “Before the age of nine, he had already concocted top-grade Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid. Honestly, this is the first time I’ve seen such a talent in Alchemy.”

“Before nine, to reach the King Realm, such a cultivation speed is also something I am seeing for the first time.”

As Xie Hong expressed his amazement, Great Elder Zhong Yun interjected, “Yang Xiaotian must have practiced by frequently consuming Elixirs to achieve such cultivation speed.”

He then shook his head and added, “Frequently consuming Elixirs results in an unstable foundation. It will become increasingly difficult for him to advance in the future. This child is already ruined.”

“Though his talent for Alchemy seems astonishing now, it’s uncertain whether he can concoct top-grade Treasure Pills in the future.”

Elder Sun Ze also nodded and said, “His talents in Martial Soul and Sword Dao can’t compare to Guo Wei and the others. As for strength, he still falls quite short when compared to the three of them.”

“What a pity, he doesn’t possess the kind of talent his sister has.”

Unaware of the Tiandou Academy’s high-level discussions, Yang Xiaotian was practicing the Hundred Swords Technique. He was only one Stone Sword away from mastering all the sword techniques to Perfection Realm.

As for the eleven Supreme Divine Powers left by Cao Shun, he had already mastered them all to Perfection.

More than two months ago, while in the demon-infested lands, he acquired the Supreme Divine Power Netherworld Demon Hand from Youxue and had already cultivated it to the Perfection Realm.

As for the minor Divine Skills and Great Divine Power, he only glanced through them once to understand them and didn’t bother to cultivate them further.

To him, cultivating those minor Divine Skills and Great Divine Power was purely a waste of time.

Just as Yang Xiaotian was about to master the last Stone Sword to Perfection Realm, Liu An came in and reported the news of the past few days to him.

The day after tomorrow would be the grand recruitment competition of the Tiandou Academy, and currently, in the various taverns of the Tiandou Imperial City, large and small betting pools had been opened, wagering that Guo Wei, Lin Xiao, or Xiao Yong would win the championship.

Among them, Guo Wei was the one with the highest voice to claim victory.

“So what do you all think, how many ranks can I secure?” Yang Xiaotian asked.

Liu An hesitated a moment before replying, “Some people think you can, at best, enter the top ten, while most believe you’ll be around thirteenth or fourteenth.”

Thirteenth, fourteenth? That is to say, the vast majority don’t even think I can get into the top ten.

Yang Xiaotian thought to himself.

At this moment, Prince Gu Xi of Ancient Sword Kingdom also arrived at the tavern’s betting pool to place a bet. He wagered ten thousand gold on Guo Wei winning the championship.

Seeing her brother Gu Xi betting on Guo Wei, Gu Qian couldn’t help but say, “Brother, aren’t you an admirer of Divine Yang? Why bet on Guo Wei winning the championship?”

Gu Xi smiled and said, “Admiring someone is one thing, winning the championship is another. Divine Yang’s strength can’t compete with that of Guo Wei. Divine Yang is simply too young. If he were to cultivate for a few more years and participate in the next competition, perhaps he could win. But not this time.”
