Soul Emperor Martial God

"Heavenly Hidden Academy?" Xiao Yi murmured to himself.

Beside him, Lih Fengxing asked in astonishment, "Deacon Xiao Yi, surely you're not unaware of this academy?"

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I don't know. Why, are you all familiar with it?"

Everyone rolled their eyes at his words, looking at Xiao Yi as if he were a monster.

"What do you think?" The Eldest Prince retorted irritably, "The Heavenly Hidden Academy is the First Academy of the Central Region, no, I should say the First Academy of the Flame Dragon Continent."

"Even in the Wind Saint Territory, its name is long renowned."

"When we were young, beginning to cultivate martial arts, it was our dream to one day enter the Heavenly Hidden Academy."

"But you, Xiao Yi, clearly so powerful, must have an extraordinary background, yet you don't know the Heavenly Hidden Academy? Where did you emerge from?"

"Uh." Xiao Yi awkwardly touched his nose.

Everyone looked toward Miss Lvu Qingran with envy, "Miss Lvu, were you originally a student of the Heavenly Hidden Academy?"

"When exactly is the day of the Heavenly Hidden Academy's opening for disciples?"

Lvu Qingran nodded, saying, "Yes, three years ago, during the last Star Swapping Day, I was defeated by Wang Xinghe."

"Afterward, during external training, I happened to encounter the academy's opening for disciples. My talent was considerable, and I was fortunate to pass the test and enter the Heavenly Hidden Academy."

"Unfortunately, three years later, I was once again defeated by Wang Xinghe."

Lvu Qingran spoke with a tone of some dejection.

However, when she saw Xiao Yi before her, the dejection was gone, replaced by intense battle spirit.

"Counting the days, it's three months until the academy's opening day."

"Traveling from Star Swapping City to the Heavenly Hidden Academy, as long as there's no delay and flying at full speed, you'll just make it."

Everyone heard and immediately rejoiced.

Who on the entire Flame Dragon Continent doesn't know the name of the Heavenly Hidden Academy?

Being able to enter to cultivate Martial Arts is a great blessing.

"I've heard the entry assessment at Heavenly Hidden Academy is extremely strict, extremely difficult." Yu Feng suddenly frowned.

"I wonder if we can pass."

Lih Fengxing smiled, "Regardless, it's worth trying."

"Indeed." Yu Feng nodded, smiling, "With my aptitude, passing the test should be difficult."

"But Lih Fengxing, the Eldest Prince, and Chu Rou are the strongest talents in our Wind Saint Territory, sure to pass the test."

"Especially Xiao Yi, that freak."

"Me?" Xiao Yi smiled faintly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Lvu Qingran looked at Xiao Yi seriously, "Deacon Xiao Yi, I believe you will definitely pass the test."

"So, within the academy, let's battle again."

Xiao Yi shook his head, "I might not go to the Heavenly Hidden Academy."

"Not going?" Lvu Qingran was taken aback, her expression changed.

Lih Fengxing and others were also shocked, "Deacon Xiao Yi, you're not joking, are you?"

"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, his expression serious.

"This..." Lih Fengxing and others were anxious, "Deacon Xiao Yi, with your ability, passing the test and entering the Heavenly Hidden Academy to cultivate Martial Arts is practically certain."

"You're going to give up such a great opportunity?"

The Eldest Prince also advised, "Xiao Yi, martial artists from ordinary regions come to the Central Region because it is more exciting here."

"And the Heavenly Hidden Academy is truly a place where heavenly talents gather."

"Supreme geniuses, there are just ordinary people."

"There is more excitement, more longing."

"Indeed." The Kuanglan Sect Master said solemnly, "That place is known to contain all martial arts in the world."

"Whatever martial arts you cultivate, whatever profession you pursue, you will find your path there."

"It even contains sacred-grade techniques and martial arts that make martial artists crazy."

"Most importantly, the seniors there are all martial arts great powers of the present age."

"If you can enter the academy and receive guidance from the seniors there, the journey on the martial arts path will be smooth."

"For young talents like you, this is an opportunity bigger than anything."

Everyone advised earnestly.

Only Qin Hongyi sneered, "Some people are too arrogant, always thinking highly of themselves, naturally unwilling to go."

"Perhaps he doesn't care about those great powers in the academy."

"Shut up for me." Lih Fengxing glared coldly at Qin Hongyi.

The Eldest Prince and others also wore icy expressions.

They knew Xiao Yi's character, he was resolute in his words.

But they did not wish for Xiao Yi to give up such an opportunity.

Xiao Yi chuckled and shook his head, "I truly won't go."

"Three months is a bit tight, I have other matters to attend to."

Lih Fengxing said anxiously, "What could be more important than this great opportunity?"

"Something very important to me." Xiao Yi said lightly, not elaborating further.

"Opportunities are rare, you really want to give up?" Lih Fengxing's expression was a bit grim.

Xiao Yi laughed, "So-called opportunities, I already have them, but I'm not destined for them, so there's no need to force."

After saying this, Xiao Yi bowed to everyone, "Let's part here."

"Parting? Where are you going?" The crowd asked reluctantly.

Xiao Yi shrugged, "Central Region, vast land, many places to go."

"If we are destined, we shall meet again someday."

Having said that, Xiao Yi glanced at everyone, nodded, and swiftly left.

"Young Master Xiao Yi."

"Deacon Xiao Yi."

Cheng Suyan and Chu Rou were stunned in place, while Lvu Qingran's expression was resentful.

Their loud calls did not receive any reply.

Because Xiao Yi had already departed far away.

...

A thousand miles away from Star Swapping City, Xiao Yi was traveling quickly.

He had always been like this, leaving without dragging things out.

Lih Fengxing and others were indeed very good friends.

But Xiao Yi could only hope to meet again someday.

Because he truly had more important matters to attend to.

Before leaving the Wind Shattering Hall's branch in Star Swapping City, he had roughly reviewed the information here in the Central Region.

Central Region, located at the center of Flame Dragon Continent, with spiritual energy pure and abundant in the heavens and earth.

Thus, martial artists here find it easier to cultivate, and there are more strong individuals.

Of course, correspondingly, demon beasts here also find it easier to cultivate, with ferocious and powerful demon beasts everywhere.

The entire Central Region is vast, with countless forces scattered everywhere.

Here there are numerous perilous places, along with many large cities formed by martial artists.

Xiao Yi was now heading to another large city several cities away from Star Swapping City.

There, there's a large Demon Hunting Hall.

In the high sky, Xiao Yi flew swiftly like a streak of light.

"Hmm?" Suddenly, Xiao Yi furrowed his brows.

Unbeknownst to him, several auras had locked onto him.

The fact that it took him so long to notice meant it was undoubtedly Infinite Sacred Realm experts.

Indeed, whoosh... whoosh... whoosh...

Two figures instantly overtook him, blocking the way ahead.

They were the Wang Family Patriarch and the Wang Family's Great Elder, Wang Shan.

Behind them were more than ten Heavenly Extreme Realm elders of the Wang Family.

"Kid, if you don't explain Xinghe's death clearly, don't expect to live." Wang Shan shouted angrily, coldly staring at Xiao Yi.
