“Claim the top prize in the academy competition?” Yang Xiaotian’s face turned cold.

Hu Xing turned his head, a smile spreading across his face, “Exactly, claim the top prize in the academy competition. As long as you can defeat me, you’ll be able to claim it.” He then burst into laughter, “However, do you think you can claim the top prize in the academy competition?”

“In this lifetime? Impossible for you, perhaps, you might have a chance in your next one.”

After saying that, he smiled, turned, and walked away.

“In two years, I will defeat you!” Yang Xiaotian watched Hu Xing’s retreating figure and said coldly.

Hu Xing, who was about to leave, stopped and burst out laughing, the gatekeeper Chen Hong too couldn’t help but reveal a toothy grin.

“Defeat me in two years? You?” Hu Xing looked at Yang Xiaotian as if he had heard the punchline to an absurd joke.

Chen Hong said with a smile to Yang Xiaotian, “Do you even know what realm Senior Brother Hu is in?”

A freshman who had just enrolled in the academy was actually declaring that he would defeat Hu Xing in two years!

He must have gone mad!

Otherwise, he couldn’t fathom how the young man could have said such a thing.

Hu Xing laughed and said, “Yang Xiaotian, you should rather be worrying about whether you can stay in the academy a year from now.”

Whether Yang Xiaotian could break through to the seventh rank or even remain in Divine Sword Academy a year from now was an uncertainty, and yet he dared to challenge him?

After saying that, Hu Xing turned and left.

Looking at the departing Hu Xing, Yang Xiaotian’s face remained calm. He knew something about Hu Xing’s strength—he had broken through to the Martial King Realm two years ago.

Now he must be at the second or third level of the Martial King Realm?

With his current rate of cultivation, even without consuming the Four Symbols Spirit Pill, he could break through to the Martial King Realm within a year. He cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art and possessed True Dragon Power. As soon as he broke through to the Martial King Realm, he could thoroughly overwhelm Hu Xing.

Therefore, defeating Hu Xing and claiming first place in Divine Sword Academy wouldn’t even take him two years.

Yang Xiaotian’s declaration of defeating Hu Xing in two years spread quickly throughout Divine Sword Academy.

The academy was abuzz with the news.

“Yang Xiaotian said he’s going to beat Senior Brother Hu Xing in two years?” Cheng Beibei couldn’t help but laugh sweetly after hearing this, and said to Yang Zhong, “Your cousin really is something.”

Yang Zhong shook his head, “He’s completely disgraced our Yang Family Manor.”

Yang Xiaotian’s bold claim that he would defeat Hu Xing in two years became a laughingstock among the academy’s students, and even Yang Zhong was ridiculed by association.

Yang Zhong wished he could just bury himself underground.

When Lin Yong heard Yang Xiaotian’s challenge to defeat his disciple, Hu Xing, in two years, he too chuckled, “That’s so ignorant, like a frog in a well!”

Yang Xiaotian had only arrived at Divine Sword Academy yesterday.

And today, he claimed that he would defeat his disciple in two years?

What if, after a little while, he started claiming he could defeat him, the academy head?

Lin Yong immediately lost any goodwill towards Yang Xiaotian.

He said to Chen Yuan beside him, “I’m curious to see how he’ll beat my disciple in two years.”

Chen Yuan was rather embarrassed.

Later, Chen Yuan went to the academy gate and brought Yang Xiaotian inside.

As he looked at Yang Xiaotian, Chen Yuan couldn’t help asking, “Xiaotian, are you really going to defeat Hu Xing in two years?”

He suspected it might just be a rumor someone had spread deliberately.

“Mm.” Yang Xiaotian nodded.

Chen Yuan choked up a bit and, after a long while, could only offer Yang Xiaotian some helpless encouragement to train hard. Then, he turned and left.

Yang Xiaotian watched Chen Yuan’s departing figure and said nothing.

When he passed by Cao Lu’s yard, Yang Xiaotian went in to collect his academy uniform.

Seeing that it was Yang Xiaotian, Cao Lu obviously wasn’t pleased and said impatiently, “There are none, the uniforms will take a few days to make. Don’t come to me for nothing in the future.”

“`

“`

“Then I’ll go to Vice Dean Chen Yuan and ask for it,” Yang Xiaotian said with a cold laugh upon hearing this.

It will take a few days to make?

Such words, they can only fool other children.

How could the Divine Sword Academy not have a stock of academy uniforms for new students to collect?

When Cao Lu heard that Yang Xiaotian was going to Chen Yuan to ask for one, his eyes bulged, but in the end, he wilted and gave Yang Xiaotian the uniform.

Afterward, Yang Xiaotian also collected several secret tome textbooks that he would study this semester.

As Yang Xiaotian was leaving, Cao Lu couldn’t help but say, “Yang Xiaotian, do you know what Martial Soul Hu Xing has, that you dare to challenge him in two years?”

“His Martial Soul is the Whale of the Vast Sea!”

“The Whale of the Vast Sea, you know?”

The Whale of Vast Sea is a top-tier level ten Martial Soul, but its ranking is even higher than Yang Zhong’s Green Phoenix Martial Soul, being the closest to a Supreme Martial Spirit.

Yet Yang Xiaotian said, “The Whale of Vast Sea, I know.”

Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s calm and composed manner, Cao Lu felt like vomiting blood.

Without Supreme Martial Spirits emerging, a Martial Soul like the Whale of Vast Sea could dominate others at the same realm.

Yang Xiaotian, with a level two Martial Soul, knew that his opponent had the Whale of Vast Sea Martial Soul and still dared to issue a challenge!

“What if I defeat Hu Xing in two years?” Yang Xiaotian suddenly asked.

Cao Lu said angrily, “If you defeat Hu Xing, I’ll call you my ancestor!”

Yang Xiaotian replied, “Good, I’ll wait for that,” and left with his uniform.

Cao Lu, watching Yang Xiaotian’s certain expression, always felt an urge to slap this idiot to death!

After returning to his room, Yang Xiaotian moved into a better room.

After changing rooms, he did not start cultivating, but instead took out the medicinal herbs he bought today and began to refine the Dragon-Tiger Elixir.

The refining of the Dragon-Tiger Elixir required sixty to seventy different medicinal herbs and was much easier than refining the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.

After reviewing the method of refining Dragon-Tiger Elixir recorded in the cave, Yang Xiaotian started the refining process.

In less than an hour, he had refined a Dragon-Tiger Elixir.

Then, without a pause, Yang Xiaotian refined four more Dragon-Tiger Elixirs before he started feeling tired.

Sitting cross-legged on the Cold Jade Bed, he cultivated the Primordial Dragon Art for a while, then Yang Xiaotian got up and continued refining Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.

This time, he had purchased a large batch of medicinal ingredients, enough to refine ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs.

By the time Yang Xiaotian used up all the medicinal ingredients, ten fragrant and enticing Dragon-Tiger Elixirs lay before him.

Looking at the ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs, Yang Xiaotian was filled with joy.

Although these ten Dragon-Tiger Elixirs were not of the highest quality, they were all premium grade, and one premium Dragon-Tiger Elixir could sell for at least eleven thousand gold.

Ten would be one hundred and ten thousand gold.

With the money he had before, it was enough for him to buy a nice residence near Divine Sword Academy.

Seeing that dawn was approaching, he sat on the Cold Jade Bed for a while and then donned his academy uniform to go to the teaching building.

Today was his first day of school.

Soon, he found Class Four of the first year.

The classroom was large, about the size of a basketball court, with a large empty space in the middle, presumably for practice, with the floor made entirely of extremely hard granite.

Not long after Yang Xiaotian arrived, Chen Bingyao also showed up.

When enemies meet, they are particularly envious.

The moment he saw Yang Xiaotian, his face twisted with hate as he approached with his sword, pointing it at Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, yesterday’s match doesn’t count, today I want to fight you again!”
