Soul Emperor Martial God

"Not accepting Heavenly Talents, only monsters?" Xiao Yi squinted his eyes, "That's quite bold."

These words, I'm afraid even the Heavenly Hidden Academy wouldn't dare say.

"Interesting, interesting." Xiao Yi murmured to himself, his eyes full of expectation.

Initially, he specifically asked the old man if the Martial Arts teachers in the Black Cloud Academy were stronger than the deacons of the Heavenly Hidden Academy.

Because he only needed guidance from Martial Arts Elders at this level.

One of the biggest reasons he enrolled in the academy was due to encountering something he couldn't comprehend in his cultivation after reaching the Heavenly Extreme Fourth Layer.

He needed guidance for future cultivation.

Other than that, what kind of academy he joined made little difference to him.

Beside him, the old man looked at Xiao Yi's expression, nodding in satisfaction, "Come with me, the Black Cloud Academy won't disappoint you."

"Provided you are a true, undeniably exceptional talent."

...

A few days later.

Heavenly Hidden Academy, in the corridor, a venerable elder walked slowly.

Beside the elder, a young woman followed listlessly.

At the same time, Deacon Youu was not far in front of the elder, murmuring to himself in a daze.

Not far away.

Deacon Youu shook his head and sighed from time to time, "Perhaps, during the Twelve Peaks assessment, I shouldn't have helped him."

"Had he handed over the Sky-reaching Jade then, he wouldn't have been suppressed after entering the Twelve Peaks."

"Did I harm him?"

"If not, perhaps he would be diligently cultivating on the Heavenly Sword Peak now."

"Given time, our Heavenly Hidden Academy will surely produce a supreme Swordman."

"Alas..."

Ahead, the elder glanced at Deacon Youu, frowning slightly, "Youu Xian, what are you mumbling about?"

"Haven't I told you that Martial Artists must avoid worries and irritability?"

"Walking around sighing and mumbling, haven't you learned your lesson?"

"Scoundrel." Deacon Youu shouted angrily, "How many times have I said, don't call me by my name."

"My name is Youu Xian, but I'm not idle at all, I'm very busy."

"And when did it become your turn to lecture me..."

Deacon Youu's words ultimately froze on the word 'me.'

When he saw the elder's face in front of him clearly, along with the elder's current cold as frost expression, he shivered instantly.

"Youu Xian." The elder squinted his eyes, "What did you just say?"

"You said you are whose old man?"

"No... no... no..." Deacon Youu stammered a few times, quickly stepping to the elder's front.

Nearby, some passing disciples curiously glanced over.

"Hmm, who is that elder?"

"Deacon Youu scolds even Sky-reaching Peak stewards without fear, how come he's stammering now?"

"I don't know, perhaps an elder with high prestige in the academy."

Some disciples spoke with puzzled expressions.

Just then, from within the Twelve Peaks, twelve figures with awe-inspiring auras hurriedly arrived.

On the peak of Heavenly Hidden Mountain, dozens of figures with even more terrifying auras transformed into streaks of light approaching.

Disciples passing by in the distance gasped when they saw this situation.

"Gasp, aren't those twelve figures the twelve elders who rarely emerge from the Twelve Peaks?"

"And those dozens of figures, aren't they our academy's elusive elders?"

"Why are they all here?"

The next second, the actions of the crowd made these disciples understand.

"Greetings, Master." Deacon Youu was the first to bow to the elder.

"Greetings, Old Dean." The rest of the dozens of figures also bowed to the elder.

In the distance, some disciples frowned, "Master? Who is Deacon Youu's master?"

"Old Dean?" A few disciples suddenly exclaimed.

"Is... is... is... it the Old Dean? Our academy's Old Dean?"

The words 'Old Dean' drastically changed the expressions of the disciples in the distance.

"It's indeed the Old Dean, no wonder all the elders in the academy rushed here."

"Rumor has it the Old Dean has countless disciples all over the world. More than half of the Martial Arts Great Powers in the Central Region, even those supreme experts who are renowned in the Central Region, were once his students."

"If the Old Dean were to stomp his foot, the entire Central Region would surely tremble a bit."

"That's nothing. I've heard the Old Dean could be recorded in history in the future, becoming the most brilliant martial artist in historical records."

"..."

All the disciples excitedly discussed.

In the distance, Elder Tianjian bowed to the elder and said, "Old Dean, since you're out, why didn't you inform us in advance so we could welcome you sooner."

"Inform in advance?" The elder shook his head, "I haven't informed anyone, yet it has already caused quite a stir."

"If I had informed, the commotion would be even greater."

"Heavenly Hidden Academy is a place for cultivating martial arts. The disciples within should be focused on martial arts, not causing unnecessary commotion."

"By the way." The elder looked back at Deacon Youu, "Youu Xian, you still haven't told me why you were sighing and mumbling."

"I..." Deacon Youu hesitated.

Beside him, the Sky-reaching Peak Elder gave Deacon Youu a somewhat unkind glance.

The elder frowned, "Is it because I, this Old Dean, have been away too long, neglecting the management of the academy's affairs, and now you all disregard me?"

"We wouldn't dare, Old Dean, please calm down." Everyone hurriedly and respectfully saluted.

"Not speaking yet?" The elder looked at Deacon Youu and said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Master." Deacon Youu replied, "A few days ago, a new disciple joined the academy, causing quite a stir..."

Deacon Youu recounted the events in full detail.

Beside him, the Sky-reaching Peak Elder looked somewhat displeased.

The elder heard this, "Oh? It's been years since our Heavenly Hidden Academy experienced such excitement."

"Xiao Yi, is it? Bring me that lad's record evaluation."

"Yes." Deacon Youu nodded, a flash of light appearing in his hand as he took out a file and handed it to the elder.

Xiao Yi's file evaluation had always been with him.

The elder took the file, glanced at it, and then his expression changed instantly.

"Interesting, no... remarkable."

"Such a Heavenly Talent... no, this is a supreme monster."

"Who drove him out of the academy?"

"Old Dean." The Sky-reaching Peak Elder hurriedly said, "To be precise, it was this lad himself who arrogantly beat my disciples, and then swaggered away."

"Old Dean." The Heavenly Sword Peak Elder also spoke, "I initially intended to test him, but unexpectedly, he lacked the mental fortitude."

"After a bit of pressure, he couldn't withstand it and left."

"Couldn't withstand it?" The elder's expression turned serious, "Tianjian, as a Sword Dao Practitioner, you should know the unyielding and rebellious nature of Sword Dao Practitioners."

"You should also know that their Sword Heart cannot be tarnished. If it is, at best, it harms their Martial Arts Dao, at worst, the Sword Heart may shatter."

"To take a Sword Dao Demons and make him a gatekeeper and servant disciple? Unbelievable."

"If I told you to be a gatekeeper, would you be willing?"

"Of course not." Elder Tianjian shook his head.
