Soul Emperor Martial God

Heavenly Sword Peak, halfway up the mountain, inside the residence.

Zhang Nanfeng's face was full of bitterness, "The third day is almost over."

Xiao Yi remained silent, quietly cultivating.

After a while, Xiao Yi opened his eyes and chuckled softly, "They're here."

Outside the residence, the Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon walked in briskly.

"Deacon." Zhang Nanfeng looked at the Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon with joy.

Xiao Yi also showed a look of anticipation.

"You two." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon smiled, "You've been waiting for a long time, haven't you?"

"Yes." Zhang Nanfeng nodded and said, "Deacon's personal visit, does that mean there is a senior willing to take us under their wing?"

"Yes." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon nodded and took out a dossier.

"Zhang Nanfeng."

"Disciple here." Zhang Nanfeng cupped his hands and bowed.

The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon said solemnly, "All six of your evaluations are top-grade, and you possess a Dao Body Bloodline."

"Not yet 21 this year, you already have a Heavenly Extreme Seventh Layer cultivation, no, wait, you have broken through to the Heavenly Extreme Eighth Layer, truly remarkable."

"Most remarkable is your Holy Origin Bloodline, one of the top bloodlines."

The Holy Origin Bloodline, an exceptionally strong form of bloodline power.

Once awakened, a martial artist's entire body is protected by the Holy Origin.

From the internal organs and primordial power to the entire physical body, constantly cleansed by the Holy Origin over time, becoming increasingly powerful.

Simply put, if he were to be a Body Cultivation martial artist, his physical defense and attack would far surpass those of the same level body cultivation martial artists through continuous training.

Of course, this applies to Martial Arts Cultivation as well.

As the most powerful Sword Dao Practitioner in combat strength, his future achievements are difficult to estimate.

The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon looked at Zhang Nanfeng and said with a smile, "I have come under the Elder Tianjian's hand order."

"Zhang Nanfeng, enter the gate of Elder Tianjian as a named disciple."

"If you live up to the elder's expectations in the future, you may become a direct disciple."

"Under the gate of Elder Tianjian?" Zhang Nanfeng's eyes widened with joy on his face.

"Thank you, Deacon, thank you, Elder."

"Ha." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon chuckled softly, "Still calling me deacon and elder?"

"Hmm?" Zhang Nanfeng was taken aback.

The next second, he realized, and with joy said, "Thank you, Senior Brother, thank you, Master."

"Hmm." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon nodded with satisfaction.

Deacon and elder, were just the ordinary disciple's address.

Zhang Nanfeng already entered under Elder Tianjian's gate, naturally addressed as Senior Brother and Master.

"Xiao Yi." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon looked at Xiao Yi, also with a smile, though there was a slight bitterness within it.

Xiao Yi keenly caught this hint of bitterness and furrowed his brow slightly.

"You..." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon hesitated for a moment and said, "You have not yet met the master's requirements."

"Therefore, temporarily enter under the Furious Wind Sword King."

"Did not meet the requirements?" Zhang Nanfeng furrowed his brows, "Master, how is this possible, Senior Brother Xiao Yi is extraordinary in strength, and was the first in the Xuan Lock Chain assessment, even breaking the Heavenly Hidden Academy's record of a million years."

"How could it be..."

The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon ignored Zhang Nanfeng and seriously looked at Xiao Yi, asking, "Are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied." Xiao Yi nodded, his face showing no discontent.

He had heard of the Furious Wind Sword King, a renowned powerhouse in the Central Region, known as invincible below the Peak of the Saint King Realm.

Such a powerhouse was enough to guide him.

Moreover, his purpose in coming to the Heavenly Hidden Academy was simply to resolve the martial arts doubts he had after his present cultivation level.

A martial artist of this level as his teacher was sufficient.

"Hmm, very good." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon smiled contentedly.

"Additionally, Master has shown great kindness, allowing you into the peak of Heavenly Sword Peak, attending to Master as a gate servant."

"So you can serve Master at any time and listen to Master's teachings."

"Oh?" Xiao Yi was taken aback.

The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon continued, "However, before that, you need to go outside the Outer Sect and be a servant disciple for a year."

"Be a servant disciple for a year?" This time, Xiao Yi furrowed his brows completely.

"Can you tell me the reason?" Xiao Yi asked in a deep voice.

Everything else was acceptable.

But being a servant disciple for a year wasted too much of his time.

With his current skills, if he went to the Chores Department, he would gain virtually nothing in martial arts.

Simply put, he would be wasting a year of cultivation time.

"This is a test from the master for you." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon said sternly.

"Xiao Yi, don't rush."

"Master has his reasons for doing so."

"After one year, the grand doors of Heavenly Sword Peak will still be open to you."

"Master promises that if you do not let people down after a year, you will directly enter under Master's tutelage."

"I still wish to know the reason first." Xiao Yi looked directly at the Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon and seriously inquired.

If there was no reason, he didn't believe the Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon would show such a bitter expression.

"Reason?"

The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon had not yet answered when a mocking voice came from outside the residence.

A figure suddenly appeared; it was the Sky-reaching Peak Steward.

"Your current identity is just a servant disciple."

"As a mere servant disciple, when do you get to ask for the reason?"

"Why don't you quickly roll to the Outer Sect?"

The Sky-reaching Peak Steward scolded.

"Deacon Xu." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon frowned.

The Sky-reaching Peak Steward chuckled, "Sword Steward, if you can't bear to hurt the kid's self-esteem and won't speak frankly, I've come to Heavenly Sword Peak specially to explain to you."

"Kid." The Sky-reaching Peak Steward glared coldly at Xiao Yi.

"I told you early on that a mere High Grade Third Class evaluation is just an ordinary talent, yet you still dream of entering the Twelve Peaks?"

"Still want to apprentice under an elder? Simply overestimating yourself."

"Elder Tianjian couldn't bear to hurt your self-esteem, which is why he reluctantly had the Furious Wind Sword King take you in."

"And you're still not satisfied? Still asking questions?"

"Before, I said, for heeding my words, you could at least enter Sky-reaching Peak as a named disciple."

"Yet you insisted stubbornly and defied seniors, and now letting you be a servant disciple rather than directly expelling you from the Heavenly Hidden Academy is already a blessing."

"Quickly pack up and roll to the Chores Department?"

"Bastard." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon roared, "Deacon Xu, don't go too far."

"People of my Heavenly Sword Peak are not for you to bully."

"If not for the Elder Tongtian having deep relations with the master and mentioning it personally, Xiao Yi would already be my junior brother."

"Elder Tongtian?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes.

"I will go back now and ask Master to retract the hand order." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon glared at the Sky-reaching Peak Steward, about to leave.

"No need." The Sky-reaching Peak Steward smirked playfully, "Elder Tianjian and Master have already gone into seclusion."

"They won't come out until at least next month."

"You..." The Heavenly Sword Peak Deacon's eyes turned cold, "Never mind, kid, you wait temporarily at the Chores Department for a month, I'll explain it to Master."

"No need." Xiao Yi's expression, without knowing when, suddenly turned ice-cold as frost.

A detached tone, neither happy nor sad, yet with a sense of disappointment.

"Hoo." Xiao Yi took a deep breath, glanced at Zhang Nanfeng, and chuckled lightly, "The senior brother title you called me was perhaps in vain."

Saying that Xiao Yi shook his head and headed for the main door of the residence.

"Xiao Yi, where are you going?"

"Senior Brother Xiao Yi."

"Heavenly Hidden Academy, I won't stay." Xiao Yi left a cool remark, his figure flickered, and he drifted away.

Third update.
