The top ten in the Energy Training realm were Nangong Tianze, Lin Tianyu, Fang Jinlong, Dongfang Leichao, and so on.
The top ten in the Qi and Blood realm were Qin Shijia, Yun Feng, Chen Zong, Nangong Wulie, and so on.
The top ten had never fought before, so it was hard to say who was stronger. However, there was no doubt that they were the strongest.
"Congratulations on becoming an official disciple of the Four Great Academies."
"Now, choose the academy that you wish to enter."
The Four Great Academies were a collective name. There were a total of four academies: Tianwu Academy, Giant Blade Academy, Fiery Blood Academy, and True Sword Academy.
The foundations and strength of the four academies were similar, but they were all different.
Tianwu Academy focused on fist, palm, leg, finger, and other martial arts. They focused on the refinement and mastery of martial arts.
On the other hand, the Giant Blade Academy focused on all kinds of weapons. Although they also taught fist and leg martial arts, there was still a gap between them and the Tianwu Academy. Of course, when it came to weapons, the Tianwu Academy was inferior to the Giant Blade Academy.
Fiery Blood Academy focused on fist and leg martial arts as well as weapon martial arts. However, they focused more on actual combat. Every disciple of Fiery Blood Academy was good at fighting and killing, whether it was group attacks or single combat. Perhaps they were not as rich in martial arts as Tianwu Academy and Giant Blade Academy, but in terms of survivability, they were number one.
True Sword Academy focused on pure martial arts. Other than swords, there were no other weapons. There were also very few fist and leg martial arts. Even if there were, they were only auxiliary.
It could be said that the Four Great Academies each had their own specialties.
Nothing in the world was perfect. There would always be something that surpassed others, but there would also be something that was lacking. Good or bad could only be chosen based on one's own situation. One could maximize one's strength and hide one's weakness.
Fighters who passed the elimination round had the right to enter the Four Great Academies. Of course, the Four Great Academies also had the right to choose whether or not to accept them. However, under normal circumstances, the Four Great Academies would not reject them.
Everyone already knew which academy they would enter. They quickly made their choice and registered. In the end, only the top ten were left.
The top ten represented both strength and potential. Naturally, they were more popular.
"Qin Shijia, your comprehension ability is outstanding. The Tianwu Academy is the most suitable place for you. Here, your ability can be maximized," a Tianwu Academy disciple said.
The Tianwu Academy was known to be the academy with the greatest variety of fist and leg techniques. It was indeed very suitable for Qin Shijia.
"Our Giant Blade Academia also has quite a few fist and leg techniques. They are very exquisite and suitable for you," said a Giant Blade Academia disciple.
"Only through life and death situations can a true expert emerge. Qin Shijia, the Fiery Blood Academy is your best choice." The disciples of the Ferocious Blood Academy also wanted to fight for Qin Shijia. Only the disciples of the True Sword Academy remained silent. The True Sword Academy focused on the sword, and since Qin Shijia did not practice the sword, it would be difficult for him to switch to the sword.
"I choose the Tianwu Academy," Qin Shijia replied with a slight smile.
"Good, a wise choice." The disciples of the Tianwu Academy laughed. Although the people of the Giant Blade Academy and the Blazing Blood Academy were unhappy, they didn't do anything. This was a very normal thing. If they had to bear grudges over this, they would be living a very tiring life.
"Yun Feng, your movement technique is not bad, and your combat ability is not bad either. You are suitable to join the Fiery Blood Academy." The people from the Fiery Blood Academy stared at Yun Feng.
"Wrong, I think Yun Feng is more suitable to join the Tianwu Academy." The people from the Tianwu Academy spoke again.
Yun Feng's choice of the Tianwu Academy made the people of the Tianwu Academy very happy.
Next up was Chen Zong.
"Chen Zong, your attainments in sword techniques are very high. In the Qi and Blood Realm, it would be difficult to find many people who can compare to you. Our Tianwu Academy is the most abundant in martial arts, and we also have many sword techniques. Come," the Tianwu Academy disciple said.
"I can see that your sword techniques focus on actual combat. The Fiery Blood Academy is your best choice."
"The Giant Blade Academy specializes in all kinds of weapons. Come here and spar with martial artists who specialize in different weapons. Your sword techniques will definitely improve greatly."
"The True Sword Academy only has the sword." The True Sword Academy disciple's words were concise and straight to the point.
"Thank you for your kind intentions, but I have already made my decision." Chen Zong bowed to express his gratitude. "I like the sword, and the True Sword Academy is my choice."
Since Chen Zong had already made his choice, no one else came to fight for him.
Soon, the top ten were divided up and entered different academies. There were not many people who entered the True Sword Academy, only one. The Tianwu Academy had four, the Giant Blade Academy had three, and the Fiery Blood Academy had two.
"Nangong Honglie, although you are not in the top ten, your strength and potential are very high. Are you willing to join the Fiery Blood Academy and become an official disciple?" The Fiery Blood Academy disciple suddenly looked at Nangong Honglie and directly invited him.
"Isn't it unkind of you to do this?" The Tianwu Academy disciple immediately objected. Since Nangong Honglie had chosen the Tianwu Academy, he was undoubtedly a martial artist with a lot of potential.
"Hehe, you can also give Nangong Honglie the status of an official disciple." The Fiery Blood Academy disciple laughed.
Nangong Honglie was moved and looked at the Tianwu Academy disciple. However, the Tianwu Academy disciple did not say anything and allowed Nangong Honglie to choose.
"Alright, I will join the Fiery Blood Academy." Nangong Honglie replied. His eyes were filled with anger as he looked at Chen Zong. Now, the starting point was the same. Next time, he would definitely defeat Chen Zong.
Although he was confident that he would be able to break through to the Qi Refining Realm soon and become an official disciple, if he was a step earlier, he might be able to shorten the time needed to break through to the Qi Refining Realm.
"Alright, the list has been confirmed. You all have half a month to prepare. In half a month, gather at the Ultimate Martial Main City on time. If you miss it, there will be no more waiting." The Four Great Academies' disciples said.
The Four Great Academies were located in different parts of the Eastern Continent. They did not belong to any of the Martial Cities and were some distance away from the Ultimate Martial Main City. If they had to rush over by themselves, not only would it be a long journey, they would also encounter all kinds of dangers along the way. The possibility of death was very high.
"Half a month." Chen Zong's mind spun and he quickly came up with a clear plan.
Speaking of which, half a month was actually not a long time. He had to first return to the Seven Lights Martial Academy, then return to the Martial Wind City. Then, he would enter the stone room on the mountain wall of Mount Fulong and take out the martial arts and beast skin scroll left behind by the Dragon Subduing Master and bring it with him.
After all, once he went to the True Sword Academy, he did not know when he would return. If he brought it with him, he could go to the True Martial Main City and look for the Xu family when he had the chance. Perhaps, he might even run into a Xu family disciple in the True Sword Academy.
In short, since he had been entrusted with this task, he had to complete it. The sooner he completed it, the sooner he could fulfill a wish and save himself from thinking about it all the time.
This time, out of the thirty something disciples of the Seven Lights Martial Academy, nine were at the Qi Refining Realm. Only one of them was unlucky and was eliminated. The other eight were able to enter the Four Great Academies. Among them, Gu Xiaolin entered the True Sword Academy.
As for the twenty something disciples of the Qi Refining Realm, thirteen of them were eliminated. Most of them were this year's disciples, but there were also three disciples from the previous year. The disciples of this year's batch were still fine as they still had another chance, but the three disciples from the previous year had no chance at all.
The disciples who were accepted were naturally full of smiles. On the contrary, the disciples who were eliminated looked gloomy and even dejected.
After hurrying back to the Seven Lights Martial Academy, Chen Zong immediately bid farewell and left the Seven Lights Martial Academy.
As soon as he entered the Galloping Horse Plain, Chen Zong immediately executed Ride the Wind and Water Tread. Like a gust of wind, he blew across the Galloping Horse Plain and swiftly headed towards the Rapid River.
The Rapid River was flowing rapidly, but Chen Zong did not need to wait. He immediately executed Ride the Wind and Water Tread. His feet constantly tapped on the surface of the river, and only the tips of his feet were wet. After crossing the Rapid River, his strength was still intact.
He went straight to Black Fengshan, easily crossed it, passed through the mangrove forest, and arrived at Wind Martial City. As such, not even a day had passed.
"I'll enter Mount Fulong first and find the stone room on the mountain wall." Chen Zong thought to himself. He directly passed through Wind Martial City and headed towards Mount Fulong. His speed was extremely fast, and he was not discovered.
Previously, he got lost in the mountain. Later on, he was lucky enough to find the path down the mountain. This time, Chen Zong wanted to follow the path up the mountain. This way, it would be easier for him to find the stone room on the mountain wall.
"You've entered the mountain. Very well, I'll let you die in the mountain. Your corpse will be eaten by the demon beasts and completely disappear from this world." Two figures were tailing Chen Zong from afar. Because they were very far away, Chen Zong did not notice them.
Seeing Chen Zong enter Mount Fulong, the two of them revealed joyful expressions.
They had followed him all the way from Ultimate Martial City. Their goal was to eliminate Chen Zong. But before that, it was very difficult for them to make a move. They were worried that they would be discovered. If someone knew that they had killed an official disciple of the True Sword Academy, the consequences would be very severe.
Of course, if no one knew, or if there was no obvious evidence, they would not do anything.
Chen Zong's speed was very fast. After entering Mount Fulong, he climbed all the way up. Under the wind and water, his speed was not reduced at all. It was as if he was walking on flat ground. The mysteries of this secret movement technique were fully displayed.
Compared to the last time he went down the mountain, Chen Zong's speed was undoubtedly much faster this time. Moreover, his abilities were not comparable to the last time. Now, even if he encountered a low-class Lv 3 demon beast, he could still fight it. Even if he encountered a mid-class Lv 3 demon beast, he could still escape with his life. As for an upper-class Lv 3 demon beast, Chen Zong was not sure.
But fortunately, there were not many Lv 3 demons in this part of Mount Fulong. Most of them were low-class Lv 3 demons. If he really encountered an upper-class Lv 3 demon beast, he could only say that his luck could not be any worse.
Up, up, up. Relying on his clear memory, Chen Zong did not make any mistakes.
"Die!"
Suddenly, a leopard jumped out from the side and clawed at him. Chen Zong waved his hand casually. As if he was swatting a fly, the mid-class Lv 2 demon beast was sent flying and died instantly.
Along the way, any demon beast with poor eyesight that tried to eat Chen Zong was killed with a wave of his hand. Chen Zong did not pay attention to their corpses. They were no longer worthy of his attention.
Finally, Chen Zong saw a familiar cliff. Once, he had practiced his sword here for a period of time. It was here that he had comprehended his first secret sword technique, the Sky Light Cloud Shadow Sword. Now that he thought about it, even though it had not been long, Chen Zong still missed it.
"Who is it!" Chen Zong suddenly turned around. His eyes shone with a sharp light.
