Chapter 66: Even I Can’t Beat

Hu Xing’s eyes turned cold, “We will incite other students of the academy, and have all students jointly request the removal of Yang Xiaotian as the Sword Hall Elder.”

“I refuse to believe that Chen Changqing and the other five Elders won’t take this seriously!”

Half a day later.

Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong had gathered dozens of students and stood in Lin Yong’s courtyard.

Upon hearing the crowd’s request, Lin Yong immediately flew into a rage like a lion and roared, “Nonsense!” He swept his gaze over Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and the others, “These are rules set by the ancestors, unchanged for hundreds of years. Whoever comprehends the thirty Stone Swords, is the Sword Hall Elder, no matter who they are.”

“You dislike Yang Xiaotian being the Sword Hall Elder; if you have the ability, you should also comprehend the thirty Stone Swords, just like Xiaotian.”

Seeing Lin Yong’s rage, the other students brought by Hu Xing and Cheng Beibei were as silent as cicadas in winter.

“Don’t think I don’t know what kind of game you’re playing!” Lin Yong continued to rage, “Are you just envious of Yang Xiaotian’s Sword Dao Talent?”

“If any of you dare to bring this up again, don’t blame me for turning my face and not acknowledging anyone!”

The crowd had not expected Lin Yong to be so furious, and they all fell silent as a row of crows.

Taking advantage of her status as a princess, Cheng Beibei said, “Dean Lin, I just can’t accept that someone at the Acquired Realm like Yang Xiaotian is the Sword Hall Elder.”

Lin Yong’s eyes turned cold at once, “Whether you accept it or not is your problem. If you don’t accept the rules of the academy, you are free to leave the Divine Sword Academy.”

Leave the Divine Sword Academy?

Cheng Beibei’s complexion turned unsightly.

Was Dean Lin willing to expel her, a princess, just for the sake of Yang Xiaotian?

“Alright, you may leave now.” With a grave face, Lin Yong said, “Xiaotian is now the Sword Hall Elder. Anyone who dares to slander the Sword Hall Elder behind his back will be severely punished!”

The rest of the students didn’t dare to linger and dispersed like birds flying in all directions.

Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong left along with the crowd.

After leaving, Cheng Beibei said with hatred, “Yang Xiaotian, this isn’t over between us!”

Hu Xing, however, didn’t speak. The thought of having previously sent Deng Yi to kill Yang Xiaotian made him increasingly uneasy.

So much time had passed, and yet there was still no news from Deng Yi. What exactly happened? He couldn’t find any trace of Deng Yi either.

Meanwhile, Yang Xiaotian let Luo Qing consume the supreme Four Symbols Spirit Pill to cultivate, while he himself went to the Academy Repository to look for texts about the Long Clan.

In the Red Moon Forest, he obtained a small Dragon Saber from the members of the Blood Saber Gang and he wanted to understand the meaning of the Long Clan characters on the saber.

Upon arriving at the academy, Yang Xiaotian heard many students discussing the matter of Su Li.

“I heard that Su Li of the Divine Sea Academy has gone missing in the Red Moon Forest.”

“It’s not only Su Li; two teachers from the Divine Sea Academy also disappeared. It’s likely they were killed and their bodies destroyed!”

“Su Li is a super genius from the Divine Sea Academy, and he is also the King’s nephew. Who would have the audacity to kill Su Li?”

“The King is furious and has dispatched a large number of experts to occupy the Red Moon Forest, swearing to find Su Li and the others as well as the murderer!”

Yang Xiaotian’s expression remained unchanged.

However, the discussion of a few other students caught his attention.

“This morning, Brother Hu Xing, Princess Cheng, and Yang Zhong rallied a large group of students to protest at the Dean’s place, claiming that Yang Xiaotian, at the Acquired Realm, does not deserve to be the Sword Hall Elder and requesting that the Dean persuade Chen Changqing and the other five Elders to revoke Yang Xiaotian’s position as Elder.”

“What happened after that?”

“After that, the Dean was furious and said it was the academy’s rule for hundreds of years. Anyone who disagrees should leave the Divine Sword Academy.”

Revoke my position as Sword Hall Elder?

Yang Xiaotian was cold.

Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, and Yang Zhong really were like grasshoppers in the autumn, hopping around incessantly.

Just as he was passing through the corridor and about to reach the Book Pavilion, he saw Cheng Beibei and Yang Zhong coming towards him.

Originally, Yang Xiaotian did not want to pay attention to the two, but Cheng Beibei stopped Yang Xiaotian, “Yang Xiaotian, do you think you, an Acquired realm cultivator, qualify to be an elder of our Sword Hall?”

“If I’m not qualified, are you?” Yang Xiaotian replied coldly.

Cheng Beibei choked, snorted, and said, “Yang Xiaotian, you’re in the Acquired realm, you can’t even beat me, yet you serve as an elder in the Sword Hall, don’t you feel ashamed?”

“You don’t feel ashamed, but I feel ashamed for you!”

Yang Xiaotian went straight towards the Book Pavilion.

Seeing this, Cheng Beibei became furious, and with a sword thrust towards Yang Xiaotian’s back, she shouted, “Yang Xiaotian, the princess is speaking to you, did you hear me! Stop right there!”

Just as Cheng Beibei’s sword was about to pierce Yang Xiaotian’s back, suddenly, Yang Xiaotian turned around, dodged her sword, and then, he spun around with a flying kick, landing it directly on her body.

Bang!

Cheng Beibei was kicked by Yang Xiaotian and flew out, crashing against a stone pillar behind her.

The stone pillar trembled incessantly.

Yang Zhong was stunned.

Blood spilled from the corner of Cheng Beibei’s mouth, disbelief on her face, “Acquired tenth stage?!”

The kick Yang Xiaotian had just delivered contained the power of the Acquired tenth stage.

How was that possible!

Yang Zhong’s face was also filled with disbelief.

It had been less than five months since Yang Xiaotian awakened his Martial Soul, and now he was already at the Acquired tenth stage?

“If there’s a next time, I’ll incapacitate you with one kick!” Yang Xiaotian coldly glanced at Cheng Beibei, referring to her sneak attack from behind, and after speaking, he entered the Book Pavilion.

Cheng Beibei cried out, “Yang Xiaotian, I am the princess, and yet you dare to raise your hand against me. I will definitely report this to my father, the king, and have you dragged out and beheaded!”

Yang Xiaotian ignored her tantrum, and upon entering the Book Pavilion, he began to search for ancient Long Clan characters.

Finally, on the last floor of the Book Pavilion, Yang Xiaotian found materials regarding the ancient Long Clan characters.

He compared them one by one to the characters on the small saber, and in no time, he managed to translate the text on the small saber.

It turned out this small saber was called the Heavenly Dragon Saber, and there were two of them. When combined, they served as the key to unlocking the Heavenly Dragon Treasure, left by a Long Clan powerhouse in the Emperor Realm. As for which Long Clan powerhouse it was, the small saber did not specify, but since it was the Emperor Realm, the treasure it left behind was certainly astonishing for Yang Xiaotian at present.

Above the Innate Grandmaster was the Martial King, and above the Martial King was the Martial Ancestor, while the Martial Emperor stood even higher, surpassing the Martial Ancestor!

“Heavenly Dragon Saber,” Yang Xiaotian muttered.

Could the other be in the hands of the Blood Saber Gang as well?

It seemed that he might need to visit the headquarters of the Blood Saber Gang in the future.

While Yang Xiaotian was searching for the Long Clan characters, Lin Yong and Chen Yuan also learned about Cheng Beibei being kicked away by Yang Xiaotian.

“Acquired tenth stage?” Lin Yong was astonished and said to Chen Yuan with a wry smile, “It seems this young fellow has quite a few secrets.”

Chen Yuan shook his head with a smile, “Perhaps in two years, he really might be able to defeat Hu Xing.”

Thinking back to two months ago, when Yang Xiaotian declared he would defeat Hu Xing in two years, Lin Yong felt conflicted inside.
