Chapter 38: Shall We Broaden Our Horizons?

Translator: 549690339

After awakening the power of the four True Dragons, Yang Xiaotian’s strength and defense reached an astonishing level. To put it bluntly, even if he now stood still, letting a group of warriors at the fourth or even the fifth level of Innate stage barrage him wildly, they wouldn’t be able to cause him the slightest injury.

Having awakened the power of the four True Dragons, it was as if Yang Xiaotian was now wearing several pieces of extremely fine spirit-level armor.

Moreover, with the awakening of the four True Dragons’ power, the dragon might emanating from Yang Xiaotian grew more intense.

To those unaware, they might think Yang Xiaotian was a high-level expert from the Long Clan.

He cultivated throughout the night.

Come dawn, Yang Xiaotian continued to practice the Gale Thunder Sword Technique.

After practicing the Gale Thunder Sword Technique for a while and still unable to reach the Perfection Realm, Yang Xiaotian simply stopped practicing and planned to return to the Divine Sword Academy to exchange it for another Innate Martial Art.

After all, he had already memorized all the sword moves, essentials, and variations of the Gale Thunder Sword Technique.

To reach the Perfection Realm, all he needed was the accumulation of time.

Lu Zelin saw that Yang Xiaotian, as he had expected, came back the next day to exchange the sword technique and asked with a smile, “Yang Xiaotian, how is your practice of the Gale Thunder Sword Technique going?”

“Not bad,” Yang Xiaotian said. “I’ve practiced it to the Great Accomplishment Realm.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zelin laughed heartily and gave Yang Xiaotian a thumbs up, “Awesome! To cultivate an Innate Martial Art to the Great Accomplishment Realm in just one day, your Martial Dao Talent is truly unprecedented and unrivaled.”

Yang Xiaotian ignored the other’s teasing and continued to exchange for another Innate Martial Art, but these days, he had almost exclusively cultivated swordsmanship and hadn’t practiced any palm techniques. So this time, he exchanged for a palm technique, the “Cold Underworld Palm.”

After obtaining the Cold Underworld Palm, Yang Xiaotian found a book about Martial Spirits in the Book Pavilion, and started flipping through it.

He didn’t know much about Martial Souls, so he wanted to understand them more deeply.

Martial Souls were extremely diverse, with most being Beast Martial Souls.

Besides Beast Martial Souls, there were also Sword Martial Souls, Saber Martial Souls, and even Plant Martial Souls. However, the Plant Martial Souls were generally of very low level.

The book was thick, and it took Yang Xiaotian an hour to finish reading it.

After finishing, Yang Xiaotian felt his emotions surge.

The last few pages of the book gave a detailed introduction to various Supreme Martial Spirits.

It said there was a growth-type Supreme Martial Spirit that could grow continuously through cultivation until it eventually became a Supreme King Martial Spirit!

In the vast expanse of the Martial Soul World, geniuses were in the billions, but in over a million years, only one person possessed the Supreme King Martial Spirit.

As for who that person was, the book did not say.

Knowing that his Martial Soul would eventually grow into a Supreme King

Martial Soul, Yang Xiaotian could hardly suppress the excitement in his heart.

If there were no accidents, both of his twin Supreme Martial Spirits could later grow into Supreme King Martial Spirits.

Leaving the Book Pavilion, the class leader Zheng Zhipeng came to find him and said there would be a monthly test and to make sure he arrived on time at the classroom by ten o’clock to take the test. If he was absent and missed the test, according to the academy’s rules, he would receive a major demerit.

Zheng Zhipeng finished speaking and left without paying further attention to Yang Xiaotian.

If it hadn’t been for Teacher Cao Lu instructing him to notify Yang Xiaotian, he would not have wanted to speak another half a word to him.

“Monthly test,” Yang Xiaotian murmured as he watched Zheng Zhipeng’s retreating figure.

He had been so busy with sword practice, alchemy, and artifact refining that he had forgotten all about the monthly test.

According to the academy’s rules, each class was to conduct a monthly test.

It seemed he would have to take time out every month to come back for it.

Quite a hassle, indeed.

However, there seems to be a rule that as long as you cultivate each martial technique to the Great Accomplishment Realm each semester, you don’t have to take the monthly exams.

Yang Xiaotian followed behind Zheng Zhipeng and returned to the classroom.

After a month away, the classroom hadn’t changed, but the way people looked at him had changed a lot.

Ever since Yang Xiaotian displayed the Perfection Realm’s Sword Thirteen and defeated Xie Chu from the first class, the boys and girls in his class often talked about him, the freak with a second-grade Martial Soul.

When Cao Lu saw Yang Xiaotian again, he still wore a displeased expression.

Recently, it had spread throughout the academy that Yang Xiaotian, besides being able to comprehend Sword Thirteen, was clueless about other swordsmanship. He went to the Book Pavilion every day without fail to exchange for a different sword technique.

What’s more ridiculous was that Yang Xiaotian had even exchanged for the Innate Sword Technique “Gale Thunder Sword Technique” yesterday.

The Gale Thunder Sword Technique, that’s an Innate Top Martial Technique.

Yang Xiaotian, a second-grade Martial Soul holder and an Acquired martial artist, couldn’t even grasp the Acquired top-tier sword techniques like Phantom Sword Technique or Vast Sea Sword Technique, yet he dared to learn an Innate Top Martial Technique like the Gale Thunder Sword Technique!

It was simply reckless!

In the past, there was a first-year student in the academy who insisted on practicing Innate Martial Arts and ended up vomiting blood and becoming possessed by devils in his practice.

That student was practicing an ordinary Innate Martial Art, and now Yang Xiaotian was aiming to train in an Innate Top Martial Technique, wasn’t that the height of recklessness?

The more Cao Lu thought about it, the angrier he became.

After giving Yang Xiaotian a glare, Cao Lu said to the students of class four,

“Now that everyone is here, let’s start the monthly exam. Who will go first?”

“Teacher, I’ll go first,” volunteered Zheng Zhipeng, the class monitor, stepping forward.

“Good,” Cao Lu said with a smile as he saw it was Zheng Zhipeng, and he told the students, “Open your eyes wide and observe the subtleties of the Tiger King Fist and the Four Seasons Sword Technique that Zhipeng is about to demonstrate!”

Zheng Zhipeng moved to the middle of the classroom and threw a fierce punch.

“The Tiger Descends the Mountain!”

Instantly, the roar of a tiger resounded.

Class four’s students clapped and cheered in approval.

Seeing this, Yang Xiaotian also nodded inwardly. Zheng Zhipeng, as the class monitor, truly had some substance. His Tiger King Fist had reached the Great Accomplishment Realm.

Although it was just the threshold of the Great Accomplishment Realm, it was nonetheless impressive.

Feeling the adoration in the eyes of those around him, Zheng Zhipeng was secretly pleased. He kept moving his hands and continued punching. He soon finished demonstrating the Tiger King Fist.

After that, he also displayed Sword Thirteen and the Four Seasons Sword Technique.

His Sword Thirteen was also at the Great Accomplishment Realm. However, among the three basic martial techniques, the Four Seasons Sword Technique was the hardest to comprehend. Therefore, he had only managed to cultivate it to the peak of Minor Accomplishment, still falling short of Great Accomplishment.

Even so, the students of class four also clapped thunderously.

Cao Lu praised even more, saying, “Good! Zhipeng, I didn’t expect you to have cultivated the Tiger King Fist to the Great Accomplishment Realm, not bad!” “Teacher flatters me,” Zheng Zhipeng said humbly.

It was then the turn for a few other students in the class to demonstrate, but the other few students’ three martial techniques were generally at Minor Accomplishment or the peak of Minor Accomplishment, and were quite inferior compared to Zheng Zhipeng.

Seeing Yang Xiaotian standing there without moving, Zheng Zhipeng thought that Yang Xiaotian’s Tiger King Fist and Four Seasons Sword Technique were not well practiced and that he was feeling intimidated. Zheng Zhipeng laughed and said, “Yang Xiaotian, your Sword Thirteen is at Perfection Realm, but how well have you cultivated the Tiger King Fist and Four Seasons Sword Technique?”

“Why don’t you demonstrate your Tiger King Fist and Four Seasons Sword
