"General, Prime Minister?"
Duan Lingtian was attracted by a paragraph of text in the Admission Handbook.
It turned out that students who entered Paladin Academy had to choose one of the two great factions …
The two great factions were respectively:
Star General Department and Star Mastermind Department.
"Galloping on the battlefield, able to command an army of thousands, possessing courage that is unafraid of death, able to easily take the head of the enemy's general within an army of thousands, and stepping on blood to dye the blue sky with heroism …. This is the Star General!"
"Hidden behind a curtain, possessing outstanding wisdom, able to govern the world during times of peace and prosperity, able to devise strategies and control everything during times of war, able to annihilate the enemy with a smile …. This is the Star General!"
Duan Lingtian shook his head and smiled.
This Paladin Academy was worthy of being called the cradle of geniuses of the Crimson Sky Kingdom. If one was able to graduate from it, no matter where they went, they would be a hero and a formidable person.
"Choose one of the two? Interesting. "
The corners of Duan Lingtian's mouth held a smile as he made a decision in his heart.
Five days later.
Duan Lingtian brought along the little black snake and left the house alone, walking towards Paladin Academy.
According to the rules in the Admission Handbook, students of Paladin Academy were not allowed to bring followers into Paladin Academy ….
Before long, Duan Lingtian arrived at Paladin Academy.
At the entrance, one could vaguely see a long line formed by numerous carriages, connecting from one end of the street to the other; it was an extremely magnificent sight.
Many students were either sent here by their seniors or their followers.
However, in the end, only one student could enter Paladin Academy.
"There are actually so many female students."
When Duan Lingtian walked into Paladin Academy, he couldn't help but be surprised when he noticed that many female students had shown their admission certificates and entered the academy.
"Looks like the Paladin Academy's entrance examinations in other counties are open to females, unlike the Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp."
The Iron Blood Army's Genius Camp that Duan Lingtian went to didn't accept females.
If a female from Swallow Mountain County wanted to enter Paladin Academy, they must go to other counties to participate in similar entrance examinations.
"Where to now?"
Duan Lingtian noticed that after he entered Paladin Academy, he was like a headless fly, unable to find his way.
Finally, with his sharp eyes, he saw a group of people walking towards the east in the distance. He quickly followed them.
There was a vast field in the east, and a few weapon racks were scattered around it. This was obviously the Martial Arts Practice Field of Paladin Academy.
At a glance, there were already many young men and women waiting there.
These people were all around the age of twenty …
Compared to them, the Duan Lingtian was much smaller.
"Xiao Yu!"
Finally, Duan Lingtian found Xiao Yu in the crowd. Now, Xiao Yu was standing with another young man, talking and laughing.
Duan Lingtian walked over.
Soon, Xiao Yu also noticed him. He spoke to the young man beside him, and the two of them went up to greet him.
"Duan Lingtian, I finally get to meet you."
Xiao Yu shook his head and smiled. "I arrived at the Imperial City half a month ago, but I don't know where you are."
"What about you? What have you been doing for half a month? "
Duan Lingtian asked with a light smile.
"I'm at the Xiao Clan Estate."
Xiao Yu said.
"Xiao Clan? Xiao Clan? "
Duan Lingtian's eyes focused. He thought of the genius alchemist, Xiao He, at the first possible moment. He was a member of the Xiao Clan.
Could it be that Xiao Yu was related to the Xiao Clan as well?
Or could it be that the Aurora City's Xiao Clan was related to the Imperial City's Xiao Clan?
The facts proved that Duan Lingtian's guess was correct.
"Yes, it's the Xiao Clan. Our Aurora City's Xiao Clan is a branch family of the Imperial City's Xiao Clan. This time, I obtained the qualifications to enter Paladin Academy and have already been specially allowed by the Patriarch to become a member of the Imperial City's Xiao Clan. "
Although Xiao Yu's expression didn't change, his eyes obviously contained a sense of excitement.
Becoming a member of the Imperial City's Xiao Clan also meant that he had taken a new step forward. In the future, he could use this as a springboard to jump higher and further …
At this moment, Xiao Yu realized that the young man beside him was being neglected, so he hurriedly introduced him. "Duan Lingtian, he's Xiao Xun, a genius martial artist of the Imperial City's Xiao Clan. He's also my friend."
"Duan Lingtian."
Duan Lingtian nodded with a smile to Xiao Xun as he introduced himself.
"Xiao Xun."
Xiao Xun returned a smile without the slightest trace of the arrogance of a disciple of a large clan.
"Duan Lingtian, Xiao Xun's older brother, Xiao He, is our Xiao Clan's most genius alchemist. One year ago, he became a Grade Nine Alchemist at the age of 20."
Xiao Yu continued.
"Xiao He?"
Duan Lingtian's face froze. It really was a small world; any random Xiao Clan disciple he met was the younger brother of Xiao He.
"I used to think that my brother was a rare alchemist genius as well, until two months ago when an 18-year-old Grade Nine Alchemist appeared in the Alchemist Guild's hall. Only then did I realize that there's always someone better out there! This is good as well, as it can reduce my brother's spirit. "
Xiao Xun's eyes focused as he slowly spoke.
"I've heard of this matter as well. I heard that the 18-year-old alchemist cheated your brother of 5,000,000 silver … Do you hate him?"
Duan Lingtian's eyes narrowed as he asked curiously.
"What's there to hate? I've heard of the sequence of events. In the end, the fault of this matter lies with my brother. If it wasn't for my brother being overbearing, then the subsequent events wouldn't have happened … If I were to meet that genius alchemist, I might even thank him for allowing my brother to change and become much more restrained than before."
Xiao Xun shook his head, seeming to not care in the slightest.
Duan Lingtian glanced deeply at Xiao Xun.
Birds of a feather flock together.
Xiao Yu's friends were indeed not like the ordinary profligate young masters of large clans.
"Duan Lingtian! Xiao Yu! "
Suddenly, a familiar voice sounded out from afar.
Duan Lingtian glanced over and saw a red clothed young man walking over side by side with a robust young man …
The person who spoke was precisely the robust young man.
Weren't the two people who had passed through the Genius Camp's training with them and obtained the qualifications to enter Paladin Academy, Su Li and Tian Hu?
After not seeing each other for a year, the two of them had obviously matured a lot.
Su Li was even more steady. The original him had an oppressive spirit, but now he'd completely restrained it, and his cultivation had obviously improved by quite a bit.
"Su Li! Tian Hu! "
Duan Lingtian and Xiao Yu lightly smiled as they greeted the two of them.
"Duan Lingtian, find a chance to battle me!"
Su Li looked at Duan Lingtian, and his sharp eyes were filled with battle intent …
"I'll be happy to oblige!"
Duan Lingtian nodded with a smile.
"Duan Lingtian, you have to be careful. This guy, Su Li, has already stepped into the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage … What a guy! When I met him a few days ago, he pulled me into a battle and almost killed me."
Tian Hu seemed to still be slightly afraid when he spoke of what happened a few days ago.
Seventh level of the Core Formation Stage?
Duan Lingtian's pupils constricted as he was greatly astonished.
It had only been a year.
Su Li had broken through from the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage to the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage in one go?
Xiao Yu and Xiao Xun were shocked as well.
"Seventh level of the Core Formation Stage. Such a cultivation can be considered to be at the top of the Paladin Academy freshmen this year."
Xiao Xun praised.
"Yeah, there probably aren't many seventh level Core Formation martial artists in this year's freshmen."
Xiao Yu deeply agreed.
Su Li's gaze descended onto Duan Lingtian as he indifferently said, "I don't know about the others, but Duan Lingtian is surely already at the seventh level of the Core Formation Stage …."
"You're so sure?"
Tian Hu was slightly surprised.
"One year ago, he was already at the sixth level of the Core Formation Stage!"
Su Li continued. He still remembered the scene one year ago when he challenged Duan Lingtian after passing the final test of the Genius Camp training.
At that time, he thought that after breaking through to the fifth level of the Core Formation Stage, he would be able to battle Duan Lingtian.
But who knew.
Duan Lingtian directly drew upon the energy of heaven and earth to give birth to eight ancient mammoth silhouettes, causing him to instantly feel a sense of defeat ….
Towards Su Li's words, besides Xiao Yu who wasn't surprised in the slightest, Tian Hu and Xiao Xun both looked at Duan Lingtian in astonishment.
Especially Xiao Xun, who was secretly shocked in his heart.
This youth whose name was extremely similar to the Duan Clan's younger generation direct descendant looked to be around 18 years old, but he was already a sixth level Core Formation martial artist one year ago?
Even within the Imperial City's Imperial Family and the few great clans, such a monster hadn't appeared in recent years!
Such natural talent was comparable to Paladin Academy's last year's Xu Qing!
Xu Qing was the existence that was publicly acknowledged as the genius student with the highest natural talent in Paladin Academy's past 20 years.
"It's you!"
Suddenly, a figure swiftly walked over from afar. His voice revealed a contradictory combination of anger and joy.
"Hmm?"
Duan Lingtian looked over when he heard the voice.
The person that appeared before him was none other than Duan Lingxing's cousin, Duan Rong!
"I've finally found you. I didn't expect you to be a student of Paladin Academy as well … Now, let me see where you can hide."
Duan Rong walked over in large strides and stared at Duan Lingtian as he sneered.
"Hide?"
Duan Lingtian lightly smiled with a trace of disdain on the corners of his mouth. "You said I'm hiding from you? As someone who lost to me, are you … worthy? "
Duan Rong's face changed as he shouted in a low voice, "In short, you're dead!"
"Do you believe that I can kill you right now?!"
Being threatened by Duan Rong, Duan Lingtian's gaze went cold as he took a step forward. A terrifying killing intent swept out from his body and enveloped Duan Rong, scaring Duan Rong to the point that his face went ghastly pale as he hurriedly turned around and fled …
"Duan Lingtian, who's he? Why does it seem like he has a deep enmity with you? "
Xiao Yu asked, puzzled.
"Only a profligate son of a rich family."
Duan Lingtian shrugged and spoke of the conflict between him and Duan Rong …
"The nephew of the Duan Clan's second master?"
Xiao Yu's gaze focused. During this half a month, he had a certain understanding of the situation of the various great clans in the Imperial City and was very clear about the methods of the Duan Clan's second master.
"Duan Lingtian, do you need help?"
Su Li's gaze went cold as he gazed at Duan Rong who was hiding in the distance. The sword in his hand seemed ready to be unsheathed at any moment.
"No need, only a clown."
Duan Lingtian shook his head. He didn't take Duan Rong seriously in the slightest, even if the person behind Duan Rong was the Duan Clan's second master, Duan Ru Lei!
If he was afraid, then he wouldn't have entered Paladin Academy with his true appearance when he clearly knew that Duan Rong was also a student of Paladin Academy …
