"Sword aura. No wonder Xu Pengfei is so determined to become the Young King. He has cultivated such a powerful sword aura."
Sword aura was more lethal than True Qi, and swordsmen were also known as the kings of battle.
"There are still four months until the Young King Tournament. It's still unknown who will win."
Zhou Yang returned to his room and began to regulate his breathing. He had internal injuries that needed to be treated in time, or it would affect his foundation.
He thought about his future plans as he treated his injuries. He had not wanted to compete with Xu Pengfei, but now he had decided that he must participate in this year's Young King Tournament.
The Young King Tournament was held once every five years. It was an extension of the Dragonwu Country's Martial Selection system. It was a local tournament in the county, and one had to meet three conditions to participate.
First, one had to be a disciple of the Academy of Martial Arts. Second, one had to be a Martial Scholar. Third, one could not be over 20 years old.
He had met the first and third conditions, but he did not have the Martial Scholar status.
Martial Scholar was a kind of status that could only be obtained after passing the examination and competition. Above it were the Martial Scholar, the Martial Scholar, and the Martial Scholar, who would only be born every ten years and was known as the Martial Scholar!
Among them, the Martial Scholar Tournament was held once every year, the Martial Scholar Tournament was held once every three years, the Martial Scholar Tournament was held once every five years, and the Martial Champion Tournament was held once every ten years.
"The year after next will be the first year of the Constitution Year. If I want to participate in the Martial Champion Competition, I must become a Martial Scholar this year, enter the Tiangang Sword Sect, participate in next year's Martial Champion Competition, and finally enter the Imperial City Martial Arts Academy to participate in the Martial Champion Competition the year after next …"
Zhou Yang realized that he was pressed for time. At his age, if he missed the Martial Champion Tournament, he would not be able to participate anymore.
Participants in the Martial Champion Tournament could not be over 25 years old, and he would be 26 years old in the next Martial Champion Tournament.
"Since I've embarked on the path of martial arts, I have to become the strongest. Young King, Martial Champion, I'll take them all!" Zhou Yang clenched his fists, his eyes shining.
But before that, he had to take care of his second wife's family.
Although the incident at the Tribunal Council had only lasted for half an hour, too much information had been revealed.
First of all, the Ye family could not wait any longer. Otherwise, they would not have invited the Vice Dean. His strength must have increased greatly.
In addition, he also had a bad feeling that the Second Madam was not as simple as he thought.
In the past, he only thought that Second Madam and his mother had a feud because they were fighting for favor. As for Ye Zhining, it was not the root cause.
But now, with the appearance of Vice Director Li, the marriage alliance with the Xu family, and the fact that the Second Madam had been in the capital all this time, all signs indicated that the Second Madam most likely did not just want to be the head of the harem, but perhaps had an even greater goal.
…
The next morning, when the sun rose, Zhou Yang felt that his injuries were almost healed, so he left the dormitory and went to the Deacon's Manor.
Yesterday's incident had already spread throughout the entire academy, so when people saw him, they would stop and whisper among themselves. Their gazes were no longer filled with disdain like before, but a kind of admiration.
Zhou Yang's expression was indifferent. He was already used to this kind of expression ten years ago. This world was like this, worshiping the strong and despising the weak.
"Young Master Zhou … What brings you here?" It was the same Attendant Song from last time. He had a disgusting smile on his face.
"I'm here to submit a mission."
With that, Zhou Yang placed the Hidden Martial Stone on the table.
"It's the Hidden Martial Stone!"
The surrounding people were alarmed. The Hidden Martial Stone was the most dangerous mission this time. The reward was generous, but the chances of survival were slim.
"It really is the Hidden Martial Stone, but why does it seem like someone has comprehended it before …" Attendant Song stared at the Hidden Martial Stone and frowned.
Zhou Yang's expression turned solemn, thinking that this Attendant Song had some foresight. The Hidden Martial Stone had indeed been comprehended by him, but the Hidden Martial Stone could be comprehended an unlimited number of times, so it would not affect his completion of the mission.
"Young Master Zhou, congratulations on completing the mission. This is your Vitality Restoration Pill. The other 10,000 credits will be recorded immediately," Attendant Song said with an embarrassed smile.
Zhou Yang nodded, took the small bottle containing the pills, and turned to leave, leaving behind the envious gazes of the crowd.

Although the Vitality Restoration Pill was only a low-level pill, it was the best choice for martial artists with weak foundations and ordinary people with weak bodies.
"10,000 credits should be enough to exchange for the Violent Ape Fist. However, the Violent Ape Fist is a man-made intermediate martial art, and only elite disciples can exchange for it. I'd better go home first."
Zhou Yang thought for a while and hurried home. To avoid any accidents, he specially invited a medicine master.
At noon, in the side courtyard of the General's Mansion …
"Medicine Master Li, can the Vitality Restoration Pill cure mother's illness?"
In the courtyard, Zhou Yang looked at Medicine Master Li who was almost 60 years old and asked.
"Little Yang, Madam Seventh's illness is caused by overwork, and there's a knot in her heart. Although the Vitality Restoration Pill can cure physical illness, it can't cure mental illness …" Medicine Master Li said with a sigh.
Mental illness … Zhou Yang's heart tightened. His mother's mental illness must be caused by her disfigured appearance. As long as her appearance was restored, everything would be fine.
"Medicine Master Li, do you have an answer to the request I made last time?" Zhou Yang asked.
"You're talking about Madam Seventh's appearance, right? I've already asked my teacher. To restore Madam Seventh's appearance, I'll need two kinds of C-level spiritual materials."
"Which two?" Zhou Yang asked happily.
"One is the Earthroot Grass that only grows in shady places, and the other is the Phoenix Feather Flower that grows in sunny places. Although they're only C-level spiritual materials, they're relatively rare, so you can't buy them in the market. You'll have to go to Spirit Mountain to find them yourself …" Medicine Master Li shook his head.
"Thank you so much, Medicine Master Li!"
Zhou Yang was secretly delighted. Although spiritual materials were rarer than ordinary herbs, as a martial artist of the Institute of Martial Arts, he was qualified to enter the back mountain of Yunwu Mountain. The back mountain of the Institute of Martial Arts was the Spirit Mountain that Medicine Master Li mentioned.
The so-called Spirit Mountain was a place with abundant Spirit Qi.
After spending a day with his mother, he went to the back mountain of the Institute of Martial Arts the next day.
"I didn't expect it to cost 1,000 merit points to enter the back mountain …"
At the entrance of the back mountain, Zhou Yang looked back with a pained expression. The 10,000 merit points he got from handing in the Vitality Restoration Pill had been reduced by 1,000 in an instant.
The warden who guarded the entrance told him that Beginner Martial Hall disciples had to pay merit points to enter the back mountain and return within a day. Otherwise, 1,000 merit points would be deducted as a punishment.
Only by becoming a disciple of the Elite Hall could one freely enter and exit the back mountain. They could even live and cultivate in the cave abodes in the back mountain.
"The Spirit Qi here is indeed much richer. If I can cultivate here, I'll get twice the result with half the effort. It seems that I have to enter the Elite Hall."
With his current strength, it was not difficult for him to enter the Elite Hall. However, it was hard to say whether anyone would deliberately make things difficult for him when he was surrounded by enemies. He had to be fully prepared.
"Hmm?"
As he was thinking, he suddenly noticed that there was a thick fog coming from the valley in the distance.
