"Mountain Monk Lin Cheng, I have long heard that the name of the dean's second-order sword master moved the Purple Cloud Empire, and today I take the liberty to come to the door to ask for advice, and I hope that the dean will give me some advice. ”

Challenging the Dean?

At this moment, everyone's brains couldn't help but pause slightly.

Lin Cheng wants to challenge the dean?

If it weren't for the momentum he exposed just now, then everyone would definitely think that this person was crazy. An eighteen-year-old boy dared to challenge the dean who was a second-order sword master. After all, no matter how talented you are, you can't be so talented that you can reach the realm of a second-order sword master at the age of eighteen.

However, the power that Ling Yun showed in an instant just now really made Arno and the others feel the threat of death. The feeling of having no power to resist in the face of death made Arno and the others terrified in their hearts - Sword Master! This is the power of Sword Master!

"How could it be. Arno felt that his thoughts were a little out of turn. He looked at Ling Yun with a slight dullness in his eyes.

In his previous thoughts, Ling Yun's ability to break through to the rank eight swordsman in these two years was already very remarkable. After all, in order to break through the eighth level, the efforts he has put in in the past two years are obvious to everyone.

As for Ling Yun being able to advance to the ninth level, or break through the shackles of the ninth level and enter the realm of a sword master, that was not at all what he could imagine.

After reaching the advanced swordsman stage, being able to break through to the first level in two years is already a very amazing achievement, breaking through the second level, I'm afraid that only that kind of inhuman-level monster, or taking some kind of magic elixir, is possible. As for jumping three levels in a row, he entered the realm of swordsmen in one fell swoop......

Arno shook his head repeatedly, as if he couldn't accept this fact: "Impossible, it must not be." He couldn't have made such tremendous progress in two years. Maybe, maybe he had some adventure and sharpened a powerful momentum that can be compared to a swordsman, but his real strength is still in the swordsman stage. ”

"Yes, yes, it must be. There was no way he could reach the Sword Master realm so quickly. Eighteen-year-old swordsman, this can't be. At least in the history of our Purple Cloud Empire, I haven't heard of an eighteen-year-old sword master appearing. Kaishan immediately echoed and said.

The other two academies looked at Ling Yun, who was tall and proud, with a pale face...... Regardless of whether the person in front of them had the strength of the sword master stage or not, they knew that when they flinched in the face of that momentum, they had lost their qualification to compete with the person in front of them forever.

The door of the villa was opened, and accompanied by several swordsman attendants, the dean of the Bright Academy slowly walked out of the night room.

From the night, he looked like he was fifty or sixty years old. As a swordsman who has a lifespan that is a generation longer than ordinary people, his appearance at the age of fifty or sixty undoubtedly represents his advanced age of at least one hundred and twenty years old. If nothing else, maybe the second-order sword master peaked and could be the highest achievement in the life of the night dean.

There was no need for words, for the first time, the eyes of the two fell on each other at the same time, silently feeling the energy fluctuations emanating from each other's bodies.

The energy fluctuations of the peak of the second-order sword master stabilize the clouds!

However, how could the sharpness of the Xuanjian Qi on the Ninety-Nine Shang be so easily blocked?

After feeling the strength of the Dean of the Night, not only did Ling Yun not feel the pressure in his heart, but the battle intent that almost roared out was even stronger. He saluted slightly, and gave a warrior etiquette: "Your Excellency from the night, I take the liberty to disturb the honorable driver, and I hope that the honorable driver will forgive me." ”

Even if the roof of the villa was almost lifted, Dean Congye still had a kind face, not to mention Ling Yun's attitude towards him was also respectful, so he nodded and said with a smile: "Your Excellency Lin Cheng is polite." It's really a hero out of a young man, I didn't expect His Excellency Lin Cheng to be so young, he already had a sword master cultivation. ”

"A mere first-order sword master is not as good as Your Excellency Congye. ”

"Haha, not necessarily. I see that your exercises are peculiar, and Jin Rui has an unstoppable sharpness and killing, I am afraid that it is not an extraordinary quality. Therefore, it is a bit presumptuous for you to say this now. ”

Ling Yun chuckled lightly and did not refute.

The few bland words of conversation between the two of them were just out of politeness, but listening to the ears of the few people next to them had a completely different effect.

Your Excellency, that is an honorific title that only a master of the sword master level can enjoy.

At present, the dean of the dignified second-order sword master is from the night, and Ling Yun is actually commensurate with Your Excellency, that is to say...... He had already recognized Ling Yun's identity.

Ling Yun is indeed an official swordsman!

"I worked hard to cultivate for two whole years, and I never relaxed myself. Eating and sleeping all the time to exercise themselves, and I have put in ten times or even a hundred times more effort than others...... Finally, the hard work paid off. I was promoted, and I was successfully promoted to the rank eight swordsman......" Looking at Ling Yun's young face, which was definitely no more than twenty years old, for a moment, Arnold, who was known as a genius student of the Brilliant Academy, actually had a sense of disheart in his heart: "But, eighth-level swordsman, what if I put in so much effort to be promoted to an eighth-level swordsman? It only took two years for people to do the same, and in these two years, not only did they break through the eighth and ninth levels, but they also crossed the biggest hurdle in the swordsman's life in one fell swoop and became an official swordsman......

Not only him, but even Kaishan and the other two highly qualified students had a gloomy face, and their expressions were no longer lively and energetic before, but with a kind of twilight decadence.

It's Xue Yun, although there is a touch of red on the side of her mouth, but the beautiful eyes are extraordinarily bright. She looked at Ling Yun without blinking, and her eyes flashed with a misty light...... It seems that there is a kind of cloud and mist dream through the eyes, and it is constantly weaving in the mind.

The expressions of Arno and the others were all in the eyes of the night dean, and he secretly glanced at Ling Yun, the eighteen-year-old sword master was indeed too shocking. As the dean of an academy, he naturally couldn't just watch his academy be depressed, but now, he really didn't know what to say to motivate them. Hard work? Could it be that you can reach the realm of a sword master before the age of eighteen just by working hard? If this is the case, then the sword masters of the Purple Cloud Empire would have already left the streets. Although I have to admit it, the gap between people is like this.

The sky has always been unfair.

In Ling Yun's eyes, there was only one second-order sword master, and Yano Xue Yun and the others were all like air, he hadn't looked at them from beginning to end, so naturally he didn't care what they would feel in their hearts.

"Your Excellency, I have come down here, just because there is a bottleneck in my cultivation, and I want to find Your Excellency to have a good fight, not to seek fame, not to win or lose, not to seek life and death, just to take this opportunity to confirm what I have learned in my life, so as to impact a higher realm. I hope that it will be fulfilled from the night. ”

Fighting is the fastest way to improve your cultivation. This is something that all cultivators in the entire world know. Therefore, for the challenge of masters of the same level, these swordsmen and swordsmen have always welcomed them.

Although Ling Yun was only a first-order cultivator, challenging a second-order powerhouse was quite suspicious of seeking guidance. However, Dean Ye felt the peculiarity of his cultivation of the exercises, and he was also curious, so he immediately nodded and said, "At this stage of ours, it is common to compete with each other and learn from each other to prove that what we have learned. Today, since Your Excellency Lingyun has this Yaxing, I should also accompany you. After speaking, he glanced at Arno and the others, and his heart moved slightly.

The battle at the level of a swordsman is very rare for a swordsman, and if some potential students of the academy can be allowed to observe their battles, they may be able to gain some understanding from it. Even if they don't, let them see the use of energy by swordsman-level powerhouses, and it will be convenient for them to impact a higher realm in the future.

As the dean of the Brilliant Academy, even if he was a second-order sword master-level powerhouse, he still kept the growth of the students in mind at all times. However, only the selfless dedication of the deans of these deans can teach students at the level of sword masters.

Thinking of this, Congye said euphemistically: "Your Excellency Lin Cheng must also know the situation of the empire. The number of swordsmen in our country is far less than one-third of that of other third-level civilization empires, so under the oppression of the third-level civilizations all over the world, our empire is actually not having a good time. For the prosperity and stability of the country, and for the future development of the empire, as a member of it, we should try our best to help those younger generations with potential. Therefore, I hope that when I compete with His Excellency Lin Cheng, I will be allowed to let a few students and mentors observe one or two. ”

The battle of swordsmen of the same level has the effect of confirming the strength of both sides. However, the competition between high-level and low-level swordsmen does not benefit high-level swordsmen. Since Congye put forward this condition, Ling Yun couldn't refuse, so he had to nod his head and agree.

Seeing Ling Yun nodding, Congye was overjoyed: "Your Excellency Lin Cheng cares about the future of the empire, it is really respectable, and I would like to express my heartfelt thanks to your Excellency on behalf of those students and mentors from Yexian." Your Excellency, please go into the humble house and wait for a while, and I will arrange it. ”

Although Ling Yun felt that he was very troublesome, after all, the other party was the master and the guest, and he had a request for others, so he nodded after all.

Dean Congye summoned the ten most potential students and ten tutors in the academy as quickly as possible. Among the students, except for Xue Yun and Miao Yin, who have had a few encounters, the other eight are all fresh faces. Despite this, the strength displayed by these students is still slightly surprising. Among the ten students, there were four eighth-level swordsmen, and all of them were under the age of twenty-five. With such an achievement at such a young age, I am afraid that in the future, I am afraid that I will be able to impact the realm of the sword master.

As for the ten tutors, all of them have the strength of level 8 or 9, which fully exposes the strength of the faculty of the Bright Academy. However, only an academy with such a strong foundation can cultivate countless pillars for the empire.

Xue Yun and Miao Yin looked at Ling Yun, who was standing on the competition platform and did not move, and truly appreciated the realm of immobility like a mountain from him. No matter how violent* it is, I'm afraid it won't make him retreat in the slightest.

"I didn't expect that the young boy who was only a seventh-level swordsman two years ago had grown up to the realm of challenging the adults of the academy, time has passed, and this world is changing too fast. "Miao Yin has always felt emotion since she learned that Ling Yun had been promoted to an official sword master. At the same time, I also silently congratulate him on such a proud achievement.

At this moment, Xue Yun thought of the young man who was hit hard by himself with his nirvana sword technique - Zero Degree Freeze on the competition platform more than two years ago...... That daring third-level swordsman. The winds of change. Who would have thought that when he stood on the competition platform again more than two years later, the third-level swordsman had disappeared and was replaced by a full-fledged and steady swordsman.

Looking at Ling Yun, who was standing in the ring with a cold face and an indifferent expression, a quiet and steady aura surrounded him, as if he couldn't make waves in the whole world...... At this moment, a strange thought suddenly popped up in Xue Yun's heart: "If any girl marries him, she will definitely feel very secure." Although he is not strong, his steady and mature temperament can make any girl rely on it for a lifetime......"

During Xue Yun's thoughts, Dean Congye had already arranged everything, he took it lightly, jumped on the competition platform the size of half a football field without the slightest old age, and saluted Ling Yun slightly apologetically: "Your Excellency Lin Cheng, I've kept you waiting for a long time." ”

As the dean of the academy, Ling Yun really couldn't say anything about his actions. After nodding, he said directly, "Can you start?"

With a wave of his hand from the night, a slightly blue invisible fluctuation immediately rose from the edge of the tournament platform, enveloping the entire tournament platform.

This kind of wall protection barrier Lingyun has seen on the treasure book of the stall goods, and it requires two hundred points of honor and merit to redeem it. This number, if it is used to exchange for equipment, can already be exchanged for a legendary-level sword.

He glanced at Ling Yun, who had not yet drawn his sword, compared the difference in strength between the first and second orders between each other, and generously made a gesture of please, allowing Ling Yun to attack first.

Not a decent kind word.

At the same time as the dean of the night made a gesture of please, a dazzling sword light actually turned into a dazzling sword light in Ling Yun's hand at an incredible speed, and before he could react from that amazing sword light, the sharp sword qi was already carrying a chill, causing the pores all over his body to rise, and he quickly retreated for the first time.

Ling Yun maintained the movement of one-handed sword-drawing with one hand, but did not pursue.

"Killing Sword Technique!?"

Ling Yun didn't reply, since he had realized the power of his first-order sword master, he would no longer take it lightly, and the real battle had officially begun.

The blue light of the sword blade flashed, accompanied by the sound of "Boom, Boom, Boom!" Countless sounds of breaking the sky, a dense network of intertwined sword qi was like locusts, covering the sky from the Night Dean.

Seeing this scene, whether it was the dean of Congye who was on the stage of the martial arts competition, or the mentors of the ninth-level swordsmen in the audience, they all exclaimed: "Dou Qi Slash!? How is it possible, so easily arouse so many Dou Qi Slash!? Even if the third-order swordsman is afraid, he ...... it."

"So many fighting qi slashing?" From the night dean's heart, he was faintly confused, feeling the overwhelming sword qi, he couldn't care about it anymore, the fighting qi flickered all over his body, and instantly condensed a burst of fighting qi armor similar to the true qi protective body, and at the same time, a red sword lightning flashed and intertwined a cloud of fire, blocking all the way to the sky, and the sword qi from a large number of shots was hit, and the void was scattered.

However, although the sword from the Night Dean was extremely fast, how could the hundreds of Dao Ninety-Nine Xuan Sword Qi be so easy to resist?

The Fire Cloud Sword Qi that was stimulated from the Night Dean lasted for less than a moment, and it was immediately pierced by the Ninety-Nine Upper Xuan Sword Qi full of sharp might. Immediately after that, he only heard a dense and terrifying sound of gold and iron intersecting, and the sword he held was instantly bombarded by the sword qi no less than twenty times, and the fire splashed everywhere, and it broke suddenly, turning into a burst of iron filings and dissipating on the spot. And the more than a dozen sword qi that followed had an unrelenting impact on his Dou Qi armor. Every sword qi impact would make him take a step back, and the Dou Qi armor was also fluctuating, as if there were signs of dissipation at any time.

From the night dean's expression changed several times, he suddenly snorted softly, and his whole body was full of fighting spirit, and he grabbed several times in a row without a sharp sword in his hand, and scattered all the dozen or so sword qi that shot at him later, and at the same time, his body quickly retreated, retreating to the edge of the competition platform, obviously driving to temporarily stop attacking.

Ling Yun frowned and stopped attacking again.

When he grabbed his sword qi from the night just now, all the choices were hard-hitting, and there was no skill to speak of. This will not only greatly consume the energy in your body, but also cause some damage to your body. And when he fought sword qi with his sword, it was also a simple head-to-head confrontation, and he didn't use a little bit of ingenuity......

"Hasn't the sword art civilization in this world developed for countless years, but the application of how skills is ......?"

At this time, Congye had already recovered from the attack of hundreds of sword qi just now. But at this moment, his face completely lost his previous calmness, and was replaced by a deep solemnity. He immediately waved his hand to the audience: "That's the end of today's competition." After speaking, he glanced sharply at everyone present: "No one of you present here can spread the word about today's affairs, otherwise, even if I have spent my life at night, I will swear to hunt him down to the ends of the earth to death." ”

Several students heard what the dean said so harshly, although they didn't know what the reason was, they hurriedly assured and swore not to spread the matter.

It was those mentors who vaguely understood why the dean was so nervous. But they also understand the meaning behind this incident, and they also express their determination not to divulge what they are saying today. The pursuit and killing of the second-order sword master may even be punished for the crime of condemning the country, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Congye nodded, glanced at Ling Yun with a complicated expression, and finally waved his hand and said, "You come with me." ”

Ling Yun did not hesitate and followed, leaving everyone looking at each other under the competition stage.

"Is this the end of the competition?Who wins and who loses?" Several students watched the dean and Ling Yun leave in confusion, and immediately asked the ninth-level instructor beside them for advice.

The mentors of those ninth-order swordsmen instinctively wanted to say that it must be the second-order swordsman-level dean who won, but when they thought of it, they thought of the hundreds of fighting qi slashes, and they couldn't say the words that were full of confidence...... Triggering so many Dou Qi slashes in an instant, a mere second-order swordsman would definitely not be able to do it, even if a third-order swordsman wanted to shoot so much sword qi in a few breaths, it was not an easy task. However, such a young man did it.

At the age of eighteen, reaching the first-order sword master is enough to strike people, if he has reached the third-order realm......

Once again, the teachers felt that their brains were simply a little too much to turn.
