No matter how the dust storms swirled in Hu Xing’s courtyard, Yang Xiaotian’s sword qi continued to pierce into the Nine Heavens, stab into the firmament, as if to puncture the sky with holes.

The students at Hundred Swords Plaza watched the exceptionally rigid and fierce sword qi, unable to contain their shock.

Usually, these academy students prided themselves on their extraordinary sword dao, but now, seeing the sword qi that seemed capable of puncturing the sky, the arrogance in their hearts had been completely shattered.

At this moment, in the City Lord’s Mansion of Divine Sword City, Peng Zhigang watched the sword qi that pierced the firmament from Divine Sword Academy and, in his astonishment, exclaimed, “Divine Sword Academy is about to produce a dragon.”

Dragon!

The sovereign of scaled creatures.

The overlord of Heaven and Earth.

Standing beside Peng Zhigang, the experts from the City Lord’s Mansion were equally shaken.

“Incredible,” Peng Zhigang said, watching the increasingly astonishing sword qi, and couldn’t help saying again, “In ten years’ time, this youngster will surely become the number one person in Divine Sea Country!”

The number one person in Divine Sea Country!

And in just ten years!

Hearing City Lord Peng Zhigang rate Yang Xiaotian so highly.

The experts of the Divine Sword City Lord’s Mansion were shocked.

Yang Xiaotian was only eight years old now, wasn’t it to say that he would become the number one person in Divine Sea Country by the age of eighteen?

The experts from the City Lord’s Mansion found it hard to believe.

In the Pharmacist Hall, Lin Yuan watched the sword qi that reached for the heavens and was filled with wonder. Three days of continuous enlightenment of three Stone Swords, such sword dao talent was no longer describable as monstrous.

“This year, it seems the Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy will have to add another elder,” Lin Yuan muttered to himself.

Standing beside him, Chen Zihan was greatly surprised and said in disbelief, “Master, that’s impossible.”

To become an elder of the Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy, one must at least comprehend all thirty Stone Swords in Hundred Swords Plaza.

The Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy had existed for hundreds of years, and there had never been six elders, at most five.

Because comprehending all thirty Stone Swords in Hundred Swords Plaza was incredibly difficult.

“Anything is possible in this world,” Lin Yuan looked at his disciple and said.

He used to think that his disciple had extraordinary talent, but now, compared with Yang Xiaotian, it was like comparing fireflies to the sun.

Chen Zihan, however, shook her head, “I don’t believe Yang Xiaotian can comprehend all thirty Stone Swords this year.”

Although it’s true Yang Xiaotian had consecutively comprehended three Stone Swords over the past three days, she still couldn’t believe that within this year, Yang Xiaotian could master all thirty Stone Swords and then become the sixth elder of the Sword Hall of Divine Sword Academy.

Lin Yuan just smiled without comment.

At that time, Yang Xiaotian stood before the third Stone Sword, entering a desert world where countless sword qi formed of fine sand roamed and flew high in the sky.

The swordsmanship contained in the third Stone Sword is known as “Earth Sword.”

But in Yang Xiaotian’s eyes, this fine sand sword qi did not demonstrate sword techniques as the previous two Stone Swords did; instead, all the fine sand sword qi began merging continuously.

Eventually, tens of thousands of sword qi merged into one colossal sword qi.

This sword qi, like the Earth Sword, was immensely thick and incredibly sturdy.

This is the Earth Sword, and there is only one move in Earth Sword!

This one move is also known as “Earth Sword.”

However, despite having only one move, mastering the Earth Sword is no easier than the previous Fiery Sun Sword Technique or Cold Moon Sword Technique.

Onlookers saw waves of earth surging around Yang Xiaotian, with sword qi churning incessantly amid the dust.

An hour later.

The Stone Sword’s sword energy gradually dissipated.

The earth waves and sword energy surrounding Yang Xiaotian’s body also slowly faded away.

When Yang Xiaotian opened his eyes, just like the previous two days, Hundred Swords Plaza was crowded with a sea of people.

Yang Xiaotian saw Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and others among the crowd.

However, at that time, Hu Xing was still turning over the soil in the yard, so Yang Xiaotian didn’t see him.

Lin Yong and Chen Yuan excitedly approached Yang Xiaotian.

Like the day before, Chen Yuan asked with concern whether Yang Xiaotian was alright.

Yang Xiaotian shook his head and said he was fine.

Reassured that Yang Xiaotian was indeed fine, the two finally relaxed completely.

A moment later, under the watchful eyes of everyone, Yang Xiaotian left Hundred Swords Plaza.

But upon returning to his mansion’s gate, he saw Lin Yuan from the Pharmacist Hall had been waiting for him.

Seeing Lin Yuan, Yang Xiaotian was surprised, wondering if he had come for the Pharmacist Competition again.

“Congratulations to Young Master Yang on comprehending the three Stone Swords,” Lin Yuan greeted from afar with a smile as he saw Yang Xiaotian return and saluted with a fist.

Yang Xiaotian returned the salute with a smile, “Thank you, Hall Master Lin,” and then invited Lin Yuan to sit inside the mansion.

Lin Yuan happily accepted the invitation and entered the mansion, “Then I shall impose on the young master.”

The two seated themselves in the front hall, where Ate and Ali served them premium Spiritual Tea. Lin Yuan took a sip, and his eyes suddenly widened. He then took a big gulp, followed by a third large sip, and then a fourth.

After finishing his tea, Lin Yuan felt utterly refreshed and couldn’t help but ask Yang Xiaotian, “Young Master Yang, where did you buy this Spiritual Tea?”

Yang Xiaotian smiled and replied, “I blended it myself. If Hall Master Lin likes it, I will send a pound back with you later.”

Lin Yuan hastily stood up, saluted with his fist to thank Yang Xiaotian, and then broached the topic of the Pharmacist Competition.

“Rest assured, Hall Master Lin, I will participate,” Yang Xiaotian smiled and said.

Since the first prize of the Pharmacist Competition offered cultivation time in the Medicine Pool, it was not a bad idea to participate.

Most importantly, Hu Xing was also participating.

Since Hu Xing was participating, he had even more reason to do so.

He still vividly remembered, just over a month ago, in front of the academy gates, Hu Xing had called him brainless.

Hearing Yang Xiaotian confirm his participation made Lin Yuan very happy. He said, “Thank you, Young Master Yang. With you participating, this Pharmacist Competition will surely be extraordinarily exciting.”

Yang Xiaotian waved his hand and replied with a smile, “I should be thanking you, Hall Master Lin.” Looking at Lin Yuan before him, an idea struck him, and he asked, “Hall Master Lin, do you know about the Divine Flame?”

Lin Yuan was taken aback, then smiled and said, “I know a thing or two about the Divine Flame.” Looking at Yang Xiaotian, he continued, “Is Young Master Yang interested in the Divine Flame? However, it is incredibly powerful and domineering, and even if one knows where it resides, no one has ever been able to tame it.”

“Does Hall Master Lin know where the Divine Flame is?” Yang Xiaotian immediately asked.

Lin Yuan shook his head, “I don’t know, but there is someone who probably does.”

“Oh?” Yang Xiaotian’s interest was piqued, “May I know whom Hall Master Lin is referring to?”

“He is Chen Changqing, the Sword Hall Elder of your Divine Sword Academy and also the first master of your academy.” Lin Yuan did not hold back and shared, “He has researched the Divine Flame the most. However, he has been secluded in the Sword Hall, comprehending the supreme Sword Dao for many years, and it won’t be easy for you to meet him.”

“Unless you can fully comprehend ten Stone Swords.”

“Ten Stone Swords?” Yang Xiaotian was startled.

Lin Yuan nodded, “That is a rule of your Divine Sword Academy, only those who have comprehended more than ten Stone Swords can meet the five Great Elders of the Sword Hall.”

More than ten Stone Swords, huh? It seems he needed to speed up his comprehension, Yang Xiaotian mused.
