Chapter 755: Chapter 753: Tempting Rewards

In the following days, Lin Xuan and his group didn’t venture out but devoted themselves to intensive cultivation, preparing for the upcoming New Student Rally.

A single Snow Lantern had further refined and consolidated Lin Xuan’s cultivation; his Qi-Blood surged like a roaring sea within him, brimming with endless power.

Besides that, he primarily meditated on the Four Seasons Sword Technique during his spare time and refined some Elixir Pills, leading a fulfilling life.

Soon, more than ten days passed, and the New Student Rally drew increasingly near.

Lin Xuan gathered everyone and said in a solemn voice, “Tomorrow marks the New Student Rally. I don’t expect you all to take first place, but I want you to give your best and achieve ranks you can be proud of!”

“Now, you represent not only yourselves but also the Dragon Sword Pavilion!”

“This time, let them see the style of our Dragon Sword Pavilion!”

“Yes!”

Members of the Dragon Sword Pavilion raised their arms and shouted, their expressions filled with excitement.

“Alright, go back and relax, get ready for tomorrow’s rally.”

…

The next day, as dawn broke, the Immortal Martial Academy buzzed with excitement, countless new students were thrilled, eager to showcase their skills.

After overcoming myriad difficulties, they had finally earned a coveted spot at the Immortal Martial Academy and the envy of the outside world.

However, upon arriving at the academy, they started from scratch, all as the lowest-tier new students needing a competition to prove themselves!

And the New Student Rally undoubtedly presented the perfect stage!

Each edition of the rally drew extra attention, as these fresh recruits could potentially soar to great heights in the future.

They aimed to use this competition to determine who was the True Dragon among them!

Lin Xuan stepped out of the door, walked out of the courtyard, and saw Murong Qingcheng; the two smiled and gathered together.

Soon, people from the Dragon Sword Pavilion gathered around them.

This time, dressed in mystical robes with a dragon-shaped small sword embroidered on their cuffs, they all embodied a heroic spirit and formidable presence.

Not only them, but the entire Zone 1 for New Students was also filled with excited expressions, almost desperate for the competition to start immediately.

“Alright, we can deactivate the Defensive Array for now; at this moment, people from the Greedy Wolf Association wouldn’t dare cause trouble,” Lin Xuan said with a smile.

Swoosh!

Soon, a cluster of clouds appeared from afar, approaching like Purple Qi Comes from the East, carrying an air of mystery and dominance.

Whoosh!

In an instant, that cluster of purple mist arrived overhead of the New Student Zone, the mist swirling, forming the silhouette of a person.

It was the middle-aged instructor from before, with a square face, Master Guo.

“Little fellows, are you ready? If so, follow me!”

With that, he turned around and flew off into the distance.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!

Countless new students leaped up, following behind the middle-aged man.

“Let’s go!”

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, waved his large hand, and with the members of the Dragon Sword Pavilion, soared into the sky as well.

Streaks of light raced through the sky like streaming meteor showers, spectacularly beautiful.

Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, they headed toward the north side of the Immortal Martial Academy.

Simultaneously, from the other new student zones, countless figures also rose and turned into streaming lights.

The scene was magnificent, truly breathtaking.

They traveled northward at a brisk pace, but it still took half a stick of incense’s time before they gradually slowed.

Ahead lay rugged mountains and vast forests, stretching as far as the eye could see.

In the not too distant place, there was a mountain that soared a thousand meters high, with cliffs all around, sharp and steep.

But the top of the mountain was flat, as if it had been sliced off with a single sword strike, leaving behind a massive platform.

That spacious platform was where everyone landed.

Not long after Lin Xuan and the others had descended, fluctuations reappeared in the sky, and two beams of light, swift as thunder, flew toward them rapidly.

Initially at a great distance, they reached the top of everyone’s heads in the blink of an eye.

Accompanied by the surging spiritual energy and the unintentional release of a dominating pressure.

Every whiff of the atmosphere was shocking.

Lin Xuan looked up and saw two figures in the sky.

On the left was an elder with the bearing of a Daoist immortal, and on the right, a young girl in her early twenties, though her eyes revealed a deep, ancient weariness.

The youthful appearance combined with the weathered eyes made for an odd contrast.

However, Lin Xuan knew this was likely a powerful being skilled in the art of preserving youth; despite her youthful appearance, her real age was unknown but surely spanned hundreds of years!

Elder Hua glanced below and curved her lips slightly, “This time, there are quite a few promising seeds.”

“It seems that soon, the Xuan Venerate List will undergo significant changes.”

She then looked down again and spoke slowly, “This competition will be hosted by the both of us.”

“You may call me Elder Hua, and this is Elder Yang.”

“Meet the elders!” The new students shouted in unison below.

“Alright!” Elder Hua pressed down with her hands, and the new students quieted down once more.

“Now, let me talk about the newcomer’s meeting.”

“See that mountain peak opposite us? Atop that peak, there hangs a Golden Bell. Whoever rings it first will be the champion!”

“Mountain peak, Golden Bell?” The crowd was startled; this was not what they had expected.

They had thought it would be an arena match, but it turned out to be this kind of competition.

However, it seemed this competition might not be too difficult.

Lin Xuan also narrowed his eyes, gazing at the giant mountain ahead.

Truthfully, though this mountain was not close, it was clearly visible because of its immense size.

The black mountain, as tall as ten thousand meters, pierced through the clouds like a Supreme Divine Sword cutting through heaven and earth.

Not only that, but this giant mountain also emitted a unique aura, like an Ancient Barbaric Beast lying dormant, filled with suppression.

Seeing everyone’s expressions, Elder Hua chuckled softly, “Let me mention the rewards: the first place gets one million Spiritual Values, second place five hundred thousand, and third place, two hundred thousand.”

“The rest will follow in this manner.”

“Moreover, the top three also get a chance to enter the Divine Statue Hall, which holds relics left by Kings. If you’re lucky, you might even receive an inheritance.”

“Divine Statue Hall? King’s Inheritance!”

Upon hearing this, everyone below was shocked, then overwhelmed with ecstasy. Many eyes turned red like rabbits.

This news was staggering; they knew the Kings were the pinnacle existences of this continent, the true Controllers.

Kings of the entire continent could be counted on one hand, and now, they had the chance to perceive the King Stone Statue and possibly gain the King’s Inheritance!

This was an incredibly rare opportunity!

Indeed, countless people would go mad for it!

“It’s no wonder it’s the Immortal Martial Academy, that even the King Stone Statues are here!” Lin Xuan was immensely shocked.

At the same time, his determination hardened; he must take first place this time!

However, he soon frowned; with such attractive rewards, the competition seemed too simple to be plausible.

His gaze shifted toward the dense forest below, his eyes sparkling, alert to the potential dangers.

Just then, Elder Hua in the sky also smiled and added, “Seeing your excitement, let me remind you, there are quite a few Demon Beasts in those mountains, so be careful.”
