Upon hearing Chen Yuan suggest reporting Yang Xiaotian’s situation to the five great Elders of Sword Hall, Lin Yong hesitated.

The five great Elders were comprehending the supreme Sword Dao in the Sword Hall and did not want to be disturbed. They had said that even if someone with a Supreme Martial Spirit appeared in the academy, there was no need to report to them.

Unless a student was able to comprehend more than ten of the hundred Stone Swords at the Hundred Swords Plaza, only then there was a need to report to the five of them.

Although Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Dao talent was astonishing, he had only comprehended one Stone Sword so far.

“The five great Elders said that unless a student could comprehend more than ten Stone Swords, there’s no need to report anything else to them,” Lin Yong mused. “Let’s not report Yang Xiaotian’s matter to the five great Elders for now.”

Having said this, he turned to Chen Yuan and said, “You go collect all the books related to Martial Souls.”

He wanted to research Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul further.

Like the Divine Sword City Lord Peng Zhigang, he also speculated whether not all the Giant Tortoise Martial Souls were of the second level.

Could Yang Xiaotian’s Giant Tortoise Martial Soul be an exception?

He intended to find references to see if any book had recorded anything about Yang Xiaotian’s Giant Tortoise Martial Soul.

Now as he recalled the scene of Yang Xiaotian summoning his Giant Tortoise Martial Soul, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.

“Alright, Dean, I’ll have someone collect all the Martial Soul books now,” Chen Yuan understood Lin Yong’s intention and nodded earnestly.

Without hesitation, Chen Yuan immediately went to collect the Martial Soul books.

The crowd at the Hundred Swords Plaza dispersed.

Hu Xing returned to his own courtyard, his sleeves swept a wave of astonishing Sword Qi that instantly shattered the huge stone block in the courtyard.

Seeing Hu Xing’s unpleasant face, the students who usually followed him were too scared to speak.

“You all go back first,” Hu Xing waved his hand. “I want to be alone for a while.”

No one dared to say much and left one after another.

After everyone had left, Hu Xing no longer hid the murderous intent in his heart, like a wounded Fierce Beast: “Yang Xiaotian, so what if you have comprehended the first Stone Sword, I just don’t believe that you can comprehend the second one!”

After returning to his residence, Yang Xiaotian began to practice the Stone Sword Technique he had just comprehended in the courtyard.

This set of Swordsmanship was called “Fiery Sun Sword Technique”.

It was a Sword Technique as staunch and as full of yang as could be.

Immediately, within Yang Xiaotian’s courtyard, waves of Sword Qi rolled about, and the intense heat made the entire courtyard seem ablaze.

As Yang Xiaotian wielded his sword, his Sword Qi shone like sunlight, refracting a brilliant sunlight-like radiance.

As he continued to practice, his Sword Qi grew more and more intense.

Until late into the night.

After Yang Xiaotian had cultivated the Fiery Sun Sword Technique to the realm of Great Accomplishment, he began practicing the Primordial Dragon Art.

With the circulation of the Primordial Dragon Art, six True Qi Dragons roamed around him incessantly.

After breaking through to the peak of the Late Innate Fourth Layer, he had awakened two more True Qi Dragons.

By now, he had awakened six True Qi Dragons in total.

With the empowerment of the six True Qi Dragons, his strength, defense, and attacks all experienced astonishing enhancements.

At this moment, coiled above Yang Xiaotian’s head, the Black Tortoise Martial Spirit and Black Snake Martial Spirit that were devouring the Spiritual Energy of the Nine Heavens showed significant changes compared to before.

The shell of the Black Tortoise had become even more solidified.

And the scales of the Black Snake appeared like Black Iron. Furthermore, beneath the Black Snake’s belly, two protrusions were bulging out just as if it was about to grow legs.

Yang Xiaotian also sensed the changes in the Black Snake and couldn’t help feeling astonished and puzzled.

A snake growing legs?

What was this a sign of?

Could it be?

Thinking of a possibility, Yang Xiaotian was excited in his heart.

When daylight came, he cultivated the martial technique he exchanged the day before to grand mastery and returned to the Divine Sword Academy Repository again.

After exchanging a Secret Tome, he did not leave immediately but continued to look through the books about Martial Souls.

In one of the Martial Soul Books, Yang Xiaotian confirmed his guess.

His Black Snake Martial Soul was showing the signs of transforming into a dragon.

“Black Dragon, huh,” Yang Xiaotian took a deep breath.

The Black Dragon was the sovereign among the Divine Dragon race, on the same tier as the Golden Holy Dragon, a fourteenth-grade Martial Soul.

And Yang Xiaotian felt that his Black Dragon Martial Soul was not an ordinary Black Dragon.

As to which kind of Black Dragon it was, he would have to wait until his Black Dragon Martial Soul truly underwent the transformation to know.

Yang Xiaotian closed the book and left the Repository.

Lu Zelin watched Yang Xiaotian’s departing figure with complex and inexplicable emotions in his eyes.

He had also seen the Sword Qi from the day before that erupted like a super cannon at the Hundred Swords Plaza. However, since he was assigned to guard the Repository, he couldn’t go to the Hundred Swords Plaza. After learning that the one who had comprehended the Stone Sword was Yang Xiaotian, Lu Zelin felt utterly bewildered.

Also, he had learned of the events of the previous day when Yang Xiaotian used Phantom Sword Technique and Vast Sea Sword Technique to defeat Su Li.

He even knew that Yang Xiaotian’s Phantom Sword Technique and Vast Sea Sword Technique had each been cultivated to the pinnacle of Perfection Realm and Summit Mastery, respectively.

“Perfection Realm at its pinnacle.”

“Summit Mastery.”

Lu Zelin murmured to himself.

Previously, Yang Xiaotian came every day to exchange a Secret Tome, and it’s laughable that he and Hu Xing thought Yang Xiaotian couldn’t understand and completely comprehend the tomes he borrowed.

It turns out the man didn’t fail to understand.

He truly understood!

“Defeating Hu Xing in two years, huh,” Lu Zelin mumbled to himself.

Over a month ago, when Yang Xiaotian said those words, he became the laughing stock among all the teachers and students of the Divine Sword Academy after meals.

And now what?

Just at that moment, suddenly a student came dashing out from the Repository, shouting, “Yang Xiaotian has gone to the Hundred Swords Plaza to comprehend the Stone Swords again!”

Lu Zelin shook violently all over.

This was because Yang Xiaotian also exchanged martial technique books yesterday, and then headed to the Hundred Swords Plaza to comprehend the Stone Swords.

Today could Yang Xiaotian be aiming to comprehend a second Stone Sword?

The thought caused Lu Zelin’s heart to pound uncontrollably.

And the news that Yang Xiaotian was going to comprehend his second Stone Sword today soon reached Hu Xing’s ears.

Hu Xing stiffened upon hearing the news.

Then, his fists clenched tightly, his eyes shooting out vicious light: “Yang Xiaotian, I just don’t believe that you can thoroughly comprehend a second Stone Sword today!”
