After leaving Alkaid Peak, Lu Ping returned to Qixing Valley along the mountain path. Along the way, he met many people from the Big Dipper Sect. They all wanted to go to Alkaid Peak to investigate that sword attack. However, none of them expected that the sword was unleashed by the newcomer who had just brushed past them.
Just like that, Lu Ping returned to Qixing Valley. He didn't go to Dubhe Peak immediately, but went to the fifth courtyard first. He wasn't clear about the situation of the half-page Ruan Qingzhu gave him, so he decided to come back and ask.
Fifth courtyard.
The shocking sword attack just now also shocked them. Even Han Li, who didn't show his face during the day, came out of his room and looked at the southernmost part of the Big Dipper Mountains, where Alkaid Peak was located, with Huo Ying, Sun Yingsheng, and Sister Tang.
Who was it?
That was what everyone was concerned about.
Unfortunately, that sword attack was too fast and too short. No one was able to perceive enough information to make a judgment.
The four of them discussed for a while, but didn't come to a conclusion. Han Li went back to sleep. Sun Yingsheng and Sister Tang also went back to their rooms. Compared to the other peaks and courtyards, the people from the fifth courtyard were much more indifferent to everything. There were some who were curious, but not many who were concerned.
Huo Ying stayed in the courtyard alone. He had a faint guess in his heart. He was the only one in the fifth courtyard who knew about Lu Ping's unimaginable situation.
Lu Ping came back at this time. He was calm. He walked straight to Huo Ying's side and handed over the half-page he received from Ruan Qingzhu.
"What?" Huo Ying received it doubtfully. He only glanced at it and his eyes widened three times.
He looked at it again carefully.
"Did Academician Ruan give it to you?" He asked Lu Ping.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded. "She said to take this to Dubhe Peak's Hall of Seven Sins to get a divine weapon. I don't quite understand what that means."
Huo Ying understood, but he didn't explain immediately. After a long silence, he sighed. "Academician Ruan handled this matter very generously."
"What do you mean?" Lu Ping didn't understand.
"The Dubhe Peak's Hall of Seven Sins possesses the divine weapons accumulated by the North Style Academy over a thousand years. They were all Level Four and above, passed down from generation to generation. The teachers and students of the North Style Academy, no matter who it was, could only choose one Divine Weapon from the Divine Weapon Hall. Every year, the people who could obtain the inheritance of the Hall of Seven Sins' Divine Weapon. There shouldn't be more than seven, "Huo Ying said.
"Seven …"
"Yes, Divine Weapons are not cabbages, not to mention Level Four and above. Even if the North Style Academy had a thousand years of accumulation, it was impossible for it to be inexhaustible. Seven each year, so that the Hall of Seven Sins' Divine Weapons can be reborn, "Huo Ying said.
"How do Divine Weapons reincarnate?" Lu Ping asked.
"You died. Your Divine Weapon will naturally return to the Hall of Seven Sins to be chosen by the new inheritor, "Huo Ying said.
"Oh." Lu Ping nodded.
"So do you understand? You are now one of the seven who only appear once a year. The inheritance of the Hall of Seven Sins represented the acknowledgement of the North Style Academy. Only those who have inherited the Divine Weapon for more than seven years are qualified to accept disciples in the North Style Academy. Only those who inherited the Divine Weapon are qualified to command the seven peaks. The seven academicians each have the right to recommend one person each year. Over at the Alkaid Peak, I heard that the head disciple Deng Wenjun has an extremely outstanding talent under her tutelage. This year, Academician Ruan's recommendation has already been confirmed. But in order to be fair, he has to convince everyone. He also needs to have a shocking performance in the Seven Star Trials to have a chance. The selection of the seven academicians will mostly be decided through the Seven Star Trials. But now, Academician Ruan has already given the recommendation in her hands to you, "Huo Ying said with a sigh as he handed the half-page back to Lu Ping.
Lu Ping took it and looked down.
There was only one word on the half-page, the word "Accept".
But now, Lu Ping clearly understood the value of this word, and the weight of this word.
"Don't let her down," Huo Ying said.
"What is she hoping for?" Lu Ping muttered.
"The Seven Star Trials, to amaze the world with a single brilliant feat," Huo Ying said.
Lu Ping scratched his head. He himself had never had any ambitions for these things. But once again, the expectations of bystanders fell on him. First it was the Soul Selection Meeting of the Zhiruo quadrant, and now it was the Seven Star Trials of the North Style Academy.
But he could understand Guo Youdao's expectations. He hoped that he would carry the banner of Zhenfeng College. But why was Ruan Qingzhu looking forward to it? The North Style Academy was full of talents, why would she place her expectations on him?
"Can't figure it out?" A voice suddenly sounded from the side. Lu Ping turned his head. Little Sister Tang had appeared in the courtyard at some point.
"You're in the fifth campus now." Little Sister Tang ignored Lu Ping's gaze and continued speaking.
"Yes." Lu Ping responded.
"The rules of the five campuses are that after the Seven Star Trials, those who can stay will stay, and those who should leave will leave." Little Sister Tang said. "I know this as well." Lu Ping said.
"In the history of the North Style Academy, no newcomer has ever been allowed into the five campuses as soon as they enter.
Even someone like you who suddenly lost your soul power. "When Little Sister Tang said this, she glanced at Huo Ying. Huo Ying was silent. "So, the reason why you were placed in the five campuses is because some people don't want you to stay in the North Style Academy." Little Sister Tang continued.
"So, the reason why you were placed in the five campuses is because some people don't want you to stay in the North Style Academy." Little Sister Tang continued.
"The people from the Black Army Empire." Lu Ping said.
"The people from the Black Army Empire want your life and want to chase you away. Of course, it's the people from the North Style Academy who don't want to have a conflict with the Black Army Empire. Unfortunately, they still want their face and can't expel a student from the academy for no reason. So, they found an opportunity to let you into the five campuses. Not to mention that you don't have the power of the soul, even if you do, as long as they play some tricks on the Seven Star Meeting and arrange a strong opponent for you, you will naturally be unable to withstand a single blow. Then, you will naturally leave the five campuses and leave the North Style Academy. See, isn't this a good method? "Little Sister Tang's words were filled with disdain towards the North Style Academy.
"What I said should be correct, right?" Little Sister Tang asked Huo Ying after speaking.
Huo Ying continued to remain silent. As the former head disciple of the seven peaks, he naturally understood many of the policies and methods of the academy. He had already realized what Little Sister Tang was talking about.
Seeing his silence, Little Sister Tang sneered and continued, "That's why Ruan Qingzhu gave you the Divine Weapon, but don't think that she wanted to help you. She just wanted to sweep away the face of those hypocritical fellows and cause trouble for those scheming fellows. In the end, you are just a chess piece for them to use! "
"So that's how it is." After listening, Lu Ping nodded his head.
"But a divine weapon is still a good thing, isn't it?" Lu Ping said.
"Let's talk about it after you bring it out from the Hall of Seven Sins." Little Sister Tang said, "That half a page only gave you the qualifications to go in and pick a divine weapon. Whether or not you have the qualifications to bring it out is up to the Hall of Seven Sins."
"Then what if the Hall of Seven Sins happens to be those hypocritical fellows and they say that I don't have the qualifications? Wouldn't that be terrible?" Lu Ping said.
"Is qualification something that comes out of words? It comes out of fighting. "Little Sister Tang said.
"That's good." Lu Ping nodded his head.
"I don't know who was the one who was beaten half to death a few days ago. Now that his injuries have healed and his soul power has recovered, he thinks he's a big shot?" Little Sister Tang looked at Lu Ping with disdain.
"His injuries have healed and his soul power has recovered. Of course he can fight." Lu Ping said.
"Good, beat him hard!" Little Sister Tang said.
"There's one more question." Lu Ping said.
"What question?" Little Sister Tang asked. Huo Ying couldn't help but look at him.
"Since it's only against me, then why was Zi Mu also rushed to the five academies?" Lu Ping said.
"Stupid, is this so hard to figure out?" Little Sister Tang sneered. "If it's just you, then wouldn't it be very eye-catching and make people think? Bringing one more person, then wouldn't it be easier to explain? In order to conceal their true intentions, what's the big deal with sacrificing such a small character? "
"So it's like this. If I think about it, I really can't figure it out. "Lu Ping said calmly. His straightforwardness made Little Sister Tang a bit speechless.
"Then, I'm going." Lu Ping said.
"Where?" Little Sister Tang blurted out.
"To get a Divine Weapon." Lu Ping said.
"You should at least understand the situation of the Hall of Seven Sins!" Little Sister Tang's tone was full of ridicule just now, but now she was worried for Lu Ping. As she spoke, she looked at Huo Ying. Because she wanted to understand the Hall of Seven Sins, she couldn't say much. All she knew was what her teacher had said in a few words. But Huo Ying, the former head disciple of Alioth Peak, was someone who had truly broken through the Hall of Seven Sins and taken a Divine Weapon.
Lu Ping turned his head and looked at Huo Ying, following Little Sister Tang's gaze.
"Besides fighting, is there anything else to pay attention to?" he asked.
"Very well summarized. There's nothing else." Huo Ying said.
"Okay, I'm going." Lu Ping turned his head and walked out of the five academies.
Destination: Dubhe Peak, Hall of Seven Sins.
