God Emperor

Only Luo Shuihan was the only one who did not propose the intention of accepting a disciple.

Because Luo Xu, the ancestor of the Luo Sheng clan, was originally from the Holy Court, and Luo Shuihan was already Luo Xu's successor. Even if the other half-saints wanted to recruit disciples, they couldn't compete with Luo Xu.

In the Holy Court, it is divided into twenty-seven departments.

There are eighteen lines of martial arts and nine lines of spiritual power.

The Eighteen Departments of Martial Arts are: Kendo, Sword, Palm, Boxing, Finger, Spear, Whip, Stick, Buddha, Tao, etc.

The nine departments of spiritual power are: weapon refining system, alchemy system, beast control system, illusion system, thunder and lightning system, wind and fire system, etc.

As the saying goes, all roads lead to the sage.

Whether you are practicing swordsmanship or swordsmanship, you can become a saint if you reach a certain level.

In the Tianji realm, a warrior's cultivation speed will be greatly reduced. Even a genius may take several years to break through a realm.

If so, if you continue to practice various martial arts, your ultimate achievements will be very limited. Being able to break through the fish and dragon realm is already great, and being able to break through the semi-saint realm is rare.

Therefore, the greatest role of the Holy Academy is to allow warriors to choose a Tao that is most suitable for them, abandon all distracting thoughts, and specialize in one.

At the same time, the best lecturers are invited to preach and clarify the saints’ doubts, and provide the best environment for the saints so that the saints can unleash their greatest potential.

Only in this way can warriors practice faster.

Of course Zhang Ruochen chose the kendo department.

Along with Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen and Duanmu Xingling chose the kendo system, Chen Xier chose the fingering system, and Si Xingkong and Chang Qiqi chose the Buddhist system.

Originally, Zhang Ruochen thought Luo Shuihan would choose the boxing system, but unexpectedly, Luo Shuihan chose the Tao system.

According to Luo Shuihan, the inheritance of the Luo Sheng Clan seems to have something to do with Taoism. Senior Luo Xu also suggested that she choose the Tao system.

The Kendo Department is the largest department in the Holy Academy and has the largest number of applicants. Even after passing the first round of screening, there was still a long queue at the registration site.

There were no lecturers at the registration office, only six saints from the previous session of the Holy Academy, who were considered senior brothers and senior sisters, and each one of them was a top expert.

Zhang Ruochen took one look at them and saw through all the martial arts cultivation of the six of them.

Five of them are in the realm of the Great Perfection of Heavenly Realm, and one is in the realm of the first transformation of fish and dragon.

Of course, the students of the Holy Academy, after ten years of study and experience, are far from being comparable to ordinary Dzogchen warriors in the Heavenly Realm.

After Zhang Ruochen, Huang Yanchen, and Duanmu Xingling signed up, they received the scrolls for the second round of exams.

The student who transformed into a fish and dragon for the first time is named Xu Hai. He is a semi-saint disciple. He is forty-five years old this year, but he still looks like he is only in his twenties. He is wearing a golden student robe. There is an unfathomable aura about him.

For a warrior in the Fish and Dragon Realm, even if he is forty years old, he still looks like he is twenty years old.

Xu Hai blended his true energy into his voice, stood on the stone platform, and said: "This year, there are a total of 60,000 students who came to the Holy Academy from all over the world to take part in the assessment, and each one is a genius who has been carefully selected. So. With their qualifications, most of them should be able to pass the first round of assessment.”

"The Kendo Department is the largest department in the Holy Academy. Almost one-third of the people apply for each class. However, the Kendo Department only recruits 5,000 people for each class. Therefore, the competition of the Kendo Department is the greatest. More than 70% of people fail to pass the three rounds of assessment.”

"Before announcing the exam questions, let me ask again, do you really want to continue to apply for the Kendo Department? Now, you still have the opportunity to choose. If you apply for the Gundo Department, Whip Department, or Stick Department, your competition pressure will be less. a lot of."

The Holy Academy only accepts one class of students every ten years, so we must be cautious.

If you miss this session and apply for the next session, you will probably be over the age limit.

The Holy Court has loosened the age limit in order to give those senior warriors with a lot of experience a chance. However, it is only limited to warriors under the age of forty-five.

Over the age of forty-five, no matter how talented you are, you have no chance of entering the Holy Academy.

After hearing what Xu Hai said, some of the students who were not confident enough in their own strength quietly put down their scrolls and left the registration office of the Kendo Department, preparing to apply for other departments.

Seeing the students leaving, Xu Hai smiled coldly and shook his head.

Below, Zhang Ruochen said in a low voice: "Actually, the exam has already begun. That senior brother Xu Hai just now was testing everyone's determination and self-confidence. Those who can't bear the pressure and have no confidence in themselves have already taken the initiative to withdraw." , in this round of exams, they belong to the group of people who were eliminated.”

Xu Hai seemed to hear Zhang Ruochen's voice, and glanced in Zhang Ruochen's direction, showing a somewhat unkind expression, and continued: "Now, let me tell you the content of the second round of the swordsmanship department exam. On the scroll in your hands, It records a set of spiritual-level swordsmanship and martial arts, called the Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords.”

"Although this set of swordsmanship is only a high-grade spirit-level swordsmanship, it is extremely difficult to practice. Once successfully practiced, it will definitely be regarded as the pinnacle of martial arts among high-grade spiritual-level swordsmanship, enough to compete with the swordsmanship of a low-grade ghost-level swordsmanship."

"Now, you have three days to practice this set of swordsmanship. If you can practice three of the 'Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords' within three days, you will be considered to have passed the second round of the exam.

"So, this round will test your understanding and aptitude for the sword."

"If you are unable to complete the exam, it means that your understanding is not high enough, or your qualifications in kendo are not excellent enough, so naturally you will not be able to enter the kendo department of the Holy Academy."

The swordsmanship of the top spiritual level is also a very mysterious martial skill for Tianji realm warriors. It cannot be successfully practiced in three to five days. It requires a lot of time to understand and practice.

This round of assessment is quite strict, and a large number of people will definitely be eliminated.

One of the students stood up and asked: "Since the second round is to test everyone's understanding, is there anyone who has already understood it in advance?"

What he asked was a question that other students also wanted to ask.

Xu Hai said in a deep voice: "The Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords are a sword technique created only seven days ago by a semi-saint from the swordsmanship department. Moreover, it has been kept in the Holy Court and has never been leaked. Therefore, it is absolutely not There will be people practicing in advance, so you can rest assured.”

"In addition, in order to encourage everyone to work hard to master swordsmanship, the great elder of the swordsmanship department took out a 'Sword Heart Pill' as a reward. The student who performs best in the second round of assessment will receive this pill medicine."

"boom!"

All the students were shocked.

Sword Heart Pill, a seventh-grade elixir, is worth more than one million spiritual crystals. It is so expensive that even many fish and dragon realm warriors cannot afford it. Moreover, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it.

The main function of the Sword Heart Pill is to help kendo warriors condense the "heart of the sword" and achieve the state of clear sword heart.

Of course, the Sword Heart Pill is only an auxiliary. Whether one can cultivate the sword's heart to be clear depends most on the warrior's own understanding of the way of the sword.

Even so, the Sword Heart Pill is still a treasure that makes all warriors below the half-saint compete for it. Even Duanmu Xingling and Huang Yanchen's beautiful eyes are shining with light.

Taking a sword heart pill, even if it cannot reach the realm of sword heart transparency, it can improve the realm of swordsmanship by a big step.

Zhang Ruochen was the only one who seemed very calm. After all, he had reached the level of Sword Heart Transparency and looked down upon the Sword Heart Pill.

The students below opened the scrolls one after another, racing against time to understand the "Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords".

Zhang Ruochen opened his rolled sleeves, and as expected, there were tiny words and thoughts printed on them, totaling more than a thousand words.

Under the heart method, thirteen sword pictures are drawn, corresponding to the thirteen sword methods.

At a glance, the thirteen sword-wielding villains on the scroll seemed to have come alive. They emerged from the scroll and began to practice sword skills.

"A set of peak spiritual-level swordsmanship is definitely a first-class treasure in Tianmo Ridge. Once it is born, it will definitely cause many parties to fight for it and blood will flow like a river. The Holy Court is unusual. It actually takes out a set of swordsmanship so casually. Let all the students who come to sign up learn the sword skills."

The warriors who come to the Holy Court are all students of Wu City Academy. Of course, the Holy Court does not care that the sword skills will spread.

With Zhang Ruochen's swordsmanship and mental strength, it is already easy to practice high-level spiritual martial arts.

In just half a day, Zhang Ruochen had completely mastered the previous three sword techniques. All the subtleties of the sword moves are clear to his mind, and even some details cannot be hidden from his heavenly eye.

However, he did not start practicing the sword technique immediately, but continued to master the fourth sword technique.

The Thirteen Soul-Chasing Swords correspond to a total of thirteen sword techniques. Zhang Ruochen is ready to understand them all and strive to win the first place in the second round.

Even if he doesn't need the Sword Heart Pill himself, he can still give it to others.

In the distance, Nie Wenlong stood beside Xu Hai, staring in the direction of Zhang Ruochen, with a cold look in his eyes, and said through a message: "Brother Xu Hai, that person is Zhang Ruochen. You single-handedly defeated the descendant of the Four Saints, and your brother Xu Qing was seriously injured by him. This time, you, the Xu Saints, have lost a lot of face."

Nie Wenlong is also a saint from the previous generation. He has been practicing in the Holy Academy for ten years, and his cultivation has reached the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Realm.

Although he did not break through to the Fish-Dragon Realm, he entered the "Heaven Ranking" and was quite powerful.

Xu Hai smiled coldly and said: "So what if the sword's heart is clear? Compared with the saints, he is still very young."

Xu Hai was the descendant of the Xu Sheng clan ten years ago, and his talent was a bit higher than Xu Qing's, so he naturally didn't take Zhang Ruochen seriously. With his current strength, it would be easy to kill Zhang Ruochen.
