Within the Dao Yuan Holy Academy, Qin Tianming and Liu Ruyan were the subject of every conversation.
It was said that something had happened that enraged them both, causing their killing intent to surge.
Qin Tianming revealed his pair of Heavenly Mandate Saint Pupils, reflecting the Void Realm, with every blood vessel in his eyes possessing terrifying destructive power.
Liu Ruyan, furthermore, revealed her Peerless Overlord Body, with purplish-gold Qi and blood soaring into the sky, unparalleled in its might!
Afterward, these two left the Dao Yuan Holy Academy and plunged into the vast mountain ranges.
No one knew what exactly had happened, and Liu Chengyu, the only one present at the time, remained tight-lipped, refusing to reveal a single word.
......
......
At this moment, Lu Changsheng, after a long journey, finally arrived outside the mountain gate of Tianxuan Holy Academy.
Standing there, he looked up and could no longer see the majestic city and towers.
They were all obscured by clouds and mist; only when a mountain breeze blew could a corner of a tower be vaguely seen.
It was as if it were a celestial palace.
"Lu Changsheng?"
"Why does this name sound familiar?"
At this welcoming point, several senior apprentice brothers and Muzi were in charge.
Lu Changsheng took out his tianxuan token and reported his name.
"I seem to have heard it too."
"Wait, I remember now, isn't this the name of the Peerless Overlord Body?"
A senior apprentice brother exclaimed, staring at Lu Changsheng with wide eyes.
"That's right, many years ago, it was said that an Peerless Overlord Body appeared, ranking eighteenth among special Physiques in the world, possessing the potential to dominate the world!"
"Even Dean Su Xin personally made a trip, offering a tianxuan token to recruit the Peerless Overlord Body!"
"But a while ago, I heard that the Peerless Overlord Body was crippled; the news came from the Dao Yuan Holy Academy and was widely spread, not seeming to be false!"
"It might be a coincidence of names; there can't be only that one Peerless Overlord Body in the world who can be named Lu Changsheng, right!"
"It should be a coincidence. Alright, Senior Apprentice Brother Changsheng, your information has already been recorded on this tianxuan token. After you drip blood, the tianxuan token can officially recognize you as its master."
"Let's go, I'll take you to the gathering. Speaking of which, you are the last one to arrive, just barely missing the new student assessment!"
"......."
Everyone kept discussing, and then a slender Muzi led Lu Changsheng away, stepping into a large bronze gate ahead.
Lu Changsheng didn't say much; he was indeed no longer the Peerless Overlord Body.
Instead, he was the Chaotic Immortal Demon Body!
Whoosh!
Following Muzi into the city, an intense Spiritual Qi instantly assailed him.
It made one feel as if they were soaking in a hot spring, incredibly comfortable.
Lu Changsheng took a deep breath, feeling completely refreshed in body and mind.
Even his Realm felt somewhat loose, faintly feeling as though he was about to Breakthrough to the Martial Warrior Realm Second Heaven.
"Senior Apprentice Brother, my name is Xu Muzi; you can call me Muzi."
"Our Tianxuan Holy Academy is known as the 'White Jade Capital in the Sky, Twelve Towers and Five Cities,' and it is said that Immortals once resided here."
"The five cities represent five branch academies, from one-star to five-star, respectively representing students from the Martial Warrior Realm to the Martial Emperor Realm."
Xu Muzi introduced these to Lu Changsheng.
Martial Emperor Realm students!
What a niche term!
Lu Changsheng was utterly astonished; as expected of a top academy in the Eastern Domain.
One must know that, let alone the Martial Emperor Realm, even the Martial King Realm below the Martial Emperor Realm already possessed the qualifications to establish a sect.
Yet, within the Tianxuan Holy Academy, they were still just students.
This was the true foundation!
"Muzi, what about the twelve towers?"
Lu Changsheng asked.
"The twelve towers are actually twelve groups; you can understand them as organizations formed by the students within the academy!"
"For new students, they can generally only enter the one-star academy, and those who can join the twelve towers are as rare as Phoenix feathers and Qilin horns; it requires extremely high qualifications."
"Currently, the strongest is the Star Plucking Tower, then the Listening Rain Tower, Tianhuang Tower, and the Tianyao Tower which specializes in alchemy, and so on. Except for the Haoqi Tower, all of them are highly sought after by students every year."
Xu Muzi introduced these to Lu Changsheng.
"Why is the Haoqi Tower not good? Is the Haoqi Tower the weakest?"
Lu Changsheng was a bit confused.
Just as Xu Muzi was about to answer, a gentle voice suddenly rang out beside Lu Changsheng.
"Because the current Haoqi Tower has already been abandoned."
Lu Changsheng was startled; he hadn't even noticed when a figure had appeared beside him!
He saw a woman of indeterminate age, exquisitely beautiful, dressed in purple, with eyes that gazed at Lu Changsheng with a mix of emotion, tenderness, and a hint of resentment.
It was very complex.
"Dean Su Xin!"
Xu Muzi also exclaimed.
This made Lu Changsheng's heart stir.
He had just heard that Dean Su Xin had personally made a trip to present the Peerless Overlord Body with a tianxuan token.
But he had never met this Dean Su Xin.
"Muzi, you may go. I will take him."
Dean Su Xin said to Xu Muzi.
Xu Muzi bowed and then left.
At the same time, a hint of doubt arose in her heart.
Dean Su Xin actually came to personally lead this Lu Changsheng. Could it be that this Lu Changsheng was the legendary Peerless Overlord Body, Lu Changsheng?
But wasn't the Peerless Overlord Body already crippled, and this Senior Apprentice Brother clearly possessed the cultivation of the Martial Warrior Realm!
She couldn't understand. Was it really just a coincidence?
"Lu Changsheng, you really resemble your father."
Dean Su Xin said to Lu Changsheng with a smile.
"You haven't seen me, but I have seen you. Your tianxuan token was personally given by me to your father."
Her eyes were filled with reminiscence.
"Dean Su Xin, do you know where my father went?"
Lu Changsheng asked eagerly.
There must be a story behind this, and perhaps this Dean Su Xin would know his father's whereabouts!
"How would I be qualified to know?"
"However, I do have something to tell you."
"Your father left clues for you in the Haoqi Tower. If you want to find him, you must take first place in the new student assessment and become the master of the Haoqi Tower!"
Dean Su Xin said to Lu Changsheng with a smile.
Lu Changsheng still had many questions he wanted to ask, but they had already arrived at a plaza ahead.
He saw that the plaza was vast and magnificent, even giving Lu Changsheng a feeling that it was larger than the entire Baiyun City.
And on this plaza, there were rows of bluestone arenas, neatly arranged.
"Go. This year's new student assessment will be conducted in a Arena Battle format."
"The former Peerless Overlord Body will naturally dominate an era."
"I'll wait for you in the three-star academy."
After Dean Su Xin finished speaking, she took a step, and her figure mysteriously vanished before Lu Changsheng's eyes.
She appeared in the air, standing on an auspicious cloud, like a banished Immortal!
"It's Dean Su Xin, my goddess!"
"Dean Su Xin is so beautiful, like an Immortal maiden!"
"My goal is to enter the Star Plucking Tower, the strongest among the twelve towers!"
"The top ten new students can enter the two-star academy, and the first place new student can enter the three-star academy. I want to step directly into the three-star academy and become a disciple of Dean Su Xin!"
"It seems there are quite a few Martial Master Realm students in our batch of new students, and some are even close to the Martial General Realm!"
"It is said that there are also two owners of special Physiques!"
Exclamations and discussions, like a mountain roar and a tsunami, resounded throughout the venue.
A large number of new students gathered here, and countless older students came to watch the battles.
The next moment, as Dean Su Xin announced the official start of the new student assessment, the tianxuan token in the hand of every new student present glowed faintly.
Lu Changsheng looked down and saw a number displayed on his tianxuan token.
Six.
This meant his first battle was on arena number six.
Swish, swish, swish!
Immediately after, figures rushed into the arena one after another, as dense as raindrops, landing on various arenas.
Lu Changsheng looked up and saw that on arena number six, a burly young man, strong as an iron tower, was already standing, his tiger-like eyes scanning around, his Battle Intent astonishing!
