While Chu Mu was on his way back, there were some changes to the Sky Bearing Academy's exchange due to the suggestion of the Sky Raising Academy's sword arts vice-chairperson.
As the host, Sky Bearing Academy's spell arts vice-chairperson, Lin Yuan, personally announced the news.
The students were not aware of this change and were unable to react to it. After three breaths, they started to discuss among themselves.
"Even the instructors are going to have an exchange?"
"That's great. I still felt that the exchange would not be exciting enough if it ended just like this."
"The exchange between the instructors will definitely be more exciting. Let's start, I can't wait."
The students were all excited. Even the students who were ranked had looks of anticipation on their faces.
Although some of the spells and sword arts that they studied were comparable to the instructors, or even slightly better, the instructors were still instructors. They were older and had cultivated for a longer period of time. Naturally, they would have more experience.
When the various vice-chairmen saw the reactions of the students, they smiled and felt that this idea was feasible.
Since that was the case, they would proceed with the exchange between the instructors.
The exchange between the instructors was also divided into two parts: spells and sword arts.
This was the territory of the Sky Bearing Academy. Most of the instructors of the Sky Bearing Academy were present. There were not many instructors from the other academies, only a portion of them. Hence, it was impossible for all of the Sky Bearing Academy's instructors to take action.
Because it was only a preliminary project, it was decided that each school would send six instructors to conduct the exchange. Three of them would be instructors of spells and three of them would be instructors of swordsmanship. This was only a preliminary experiment, and it was not as strict as the exchange between students, which was divided into Xuan Palace, Earth Palace, and Celestial Palace.
Although it was just a preliminary exchange between instructors, each academy placed great importance on it. They wanted to show off their academy's prowess. The six instructors sent by the Sky Bearing Academy were all top instructors in spells and sword arts. They were all instructors from the Sky Palace.
The instructors from the other academies were mostly from the Sky Palace. It was just nice.
Speaking of which, the four major academies were the main focus. The other ten or so smaller academies would eventually be relegated to the background.
The exchange between the instructors began. Because there were not many participants, they were not separated.
The first part was the exchange between the spell arts instructors.
The Sky Bearing Academy was founded on sword arts. Therefore, even though they had developed their techniques over a period of time, there was still an obvious gap between them and the Yingtian Academy of the Canglan Academy. However, they were not inferior to the Skyraise Academy.
The Sky Bearing Academy did not hold much hope for the exchange of spells as they knew their limits. However, they were looking forward to the exchange of sword skills. After all, the founder of the Sky Bearing Academy, the Sky Bearing Sword Saint, was proficient in sword skills and founded the academy with sword skills.
For the spell exchange, each academy would send three spell instructors, so there would be exactly twenty spell instructors from all the academies. That was a total of sixty spell instructors.
The exchange of spells wasn't about who was more powerful, who knew more spells, whose grade was higher, or whose spells were more powerful. Instead, it was about one's control and application of spells.
Every instructor who participated in the exchange was in the Nirvana Realm. During the exchange, they would completely restrict their cultivation and only use their seals and the power of rules they had grasped to execute the spell arts.
Some of the more powerful spells had a clear requirement for one's cultivation. If one's cultivation was not high enough, they would not be able to execute the spell. On the other hand, the weaker spells could be executed easily, but their destructive power was not strong enough. In order to defeat the opponent, one had to have a strong grasp of the spell arts.
Simple basic hand seals, incomparably nimble fingers sketched in the void, as if they were perfectly carved works of art. The spell techniques were beautiful and full of power, and they were colorful and varied in form.
The spell arts instructors engaged in an exciting one-on-one battle of spells. All the students were focused on watching.
Almost all the students cultivated both spells and sword arts. Therefore, it was helpful for them to watch the battle of spells and sword arts.
The one-on-one battle of the academy's spell arts instructors was very exciting. Especially at the end, the battle between the top spell arts instructors of the four academies was even more exciting.
The top spell arts instructors of the academies appeared, followed by the head instructor. The spell arts battle between the head instructors was several times more exciting than the spell arts battle between the top spell arts instructors. It was even more exciting than the spell arts battle between the top spell arts instructors.
Spells were executed easily by the head instructors of each academy. Spells that did not seem to be very powerful were executed easily by the spell arts instructors of each academy. Their movements were graceful and coherent. It was as if they were turning something rotten into something magical.
Different combinations of spells with little power could explode with shocking power. It was an eye-opener for everyone.
The vice-chairmen of the academies nodded their heads. The spell arts instructors of the academies were not much different from them in terms of spell arts control.
After a while, the spell arts battle between the academy's instructors ended.
In the end, the spell arts instructors of the Canglan Academy came out on top. The Yingtian Academy was second, the Sky Bearing Academy was third, and the Skyraise Academy was fourth. This was a very normal ranking. No one was surprised.
However, this was just a suggestion. It was an exchange between the instructors. They were only trying to see if it was feasible. Therefore, there was no reward. Only after trying it out and finding it feasible would they report it to the Canglan Empire.
After the spell arts battle between the instructors ended, it was the sword arts battle between the instructors.
In theory, the Sky Bearing Academy and the Skyraise Academy were founded on the sword. In terms of sword arts, they had their own unique points. However, in reality, the Canglan Academy, which was the most ancient and had the deepest foundation, was the strongest among all the academies in terms of spell arts and sword arts.
As for the Yingtian Academy, they were most proficient in spell arts. In terms of sword arts, they were much weaker.
The sword arts instructors of the various academies all suppressed their own cultivation and only used the sword arts they had mastered to fight.
Putting aside the factor of cultivation, only a duel of swordsmanship would be able to reflect everyone's level of swordsmanship. Otherwise, the instructors would have different cultivation levels and different cultivation methods. If they used their cultivation levels, the duel of swordsmanship would not be as realistic.
The three sword arts instructors from the Sky Bearing Academy were all sword arts instructors from the Sky Palace. The strongest one was the number one sword arts instructor, Fang Shanhai.
As for the other three academies, other than the number one sword arts instructor, there was also a head instructor.
Simply put, among the Four Great Academies, only Sky Bearing Academy did not have a swordsmanship-in-chief. As for the other Small Academies, needless to say, they were only there to participate. The outcome had nothing to do with them.
The battle began. After one battle after another, Fang Shanhai's opponent was a sword arts instructor from the Skyraise Academy.
"Le Ling, use your sword. Let me see what the Skyraise Academy's head instructor is capable of." Fang Shanhai pointed his sword at the Skyraise Academy's sword arts instructor, Le Ling, and said in a threatening tone.
Fang Shanhai had applied many times to become the head instructor of swordsmanship in the Sky Bearing Academy. However, Mu Shihua felt that Fang Shanhai's attainment in swordsmanship was still lacking and had not been approved. Previously, Mu Shihua had nominated a newcomer to be the head instructor of swordsmanship in the academy, which made Fang Shanhai feel a great sense of danger.
He had originally planned to make a move on Chu Mu. However, he had been busy with the Sky Bearing Academy Exchange and had temporarily put it aside. Now, the sudden exchange between instructors gave him an opportunity. He felt that as long as he could defeat the head instructor of the Skyraise Academy and prove his attainment in sword arts, he would be able to become the head instructor of the Sky Bearing Academy.
The difference in status between the number one sword arts instructor of the Sky Palace and the head instructor of the Sky Bearing Academy was very obvious.
"Your information is outdated. I am no longer the head instructor of the Sky Bearing Academy." Le Ling smiled coldly and said, "However, even so, you are still not my match."
"You will only know after you try." Fang Shanhai snorted coldly and drew his sword. Sword Light broke through the air like lightning and arrived in an instant.
Le Ling also drew his sword without hesitation and counterattacked.
Both of their attainments in sword arts were actually about the same.
In the end, Le Ling was slightly stronger and defeated Fang Shanhai.
"That sword was very exquisite." The sword arts vice chairs were all stunned. However, the sword arts vice chair of the Sky Bearing Academy smiled and glanced at one of the sword arts instructors who had participated in the exchange. This person had an arrogant expression and a disdainful look in his eyes, as if he was looking at an ant.
When it was this person's turn to attack, he defeated his opponent with a casual sword strike. It did not matter if the opponent was a sword arts instructor of the Sky Palace, the number one sword arts instructor of the Sky Palace, or the head instructor of the Sky Bearing Academy.
"What a strong attainment in sword arts."
"Too terrifying. Who is he?"
"He is our Sky Bearing Academy's new head instructor of sword arts. Even the sword arts vice chair thinks that his sword arts cannot be compared to his." The student of the Sky Bearing Academy said proudly. He did not conceal his words and did not intentionally suppress them. Everyone heard it and were shocked. Their gazes all landed on that person's face.
"Your sword arts are too weak." That person suddenly spoke and pointed his sword at the vice chairs of the various academies. In the end, he locked his gaze on Mu Shihua, the sword arts vice chair of the Sky Bearing Academy. "I heard that the founder of the Sky Bearing Academy, the Sky Bearing Sword Saint, had some unique points in sword arts. I wonder how much of it has been passed down in the Sky Bearing Academy? Can you give me some pointers?"
Although he did not mention a name, the sword tip was pointed at Mu Shihua.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Mu Shihua could not back down.
"Your sword arts are superb. I admit that I am not as good as you. It is a pity that our Sky Bearing Academy has a superb sword arts instructor who went into seclusion to achieve a breakthrough in his cultivation and missed this exchange." Mu Shihua's thoughts changed and he admitted that he was not as good as the other party. He then changed the topic to divert everyone's attention.
"Is that so?" The Sky Bearing Academy's new head instructor smiled coldly. His eyes were filled with arrogance and disdain. "To practice the sword, one must comprehend the essence of the sword arts and grasp sword force. I think that none of you have grasped sword force. Without sword force, what is the point of practicing the sword?"
His arrogant words caused everyone's expression to change drastically.
