The morning sun rose into the sky and white clouds drifted.
Facing the morning breeze, a team set off from the Real Sword Academy. There were ten people in total, each of them riding a strange-looking horse.
They were two meters tall and strong like lions or tigers. Their limbs were thick and long, their palms were like tiger claws, and their tails were slender and thick like dancing flames. Their bodies were covered with egg-shaped scales that looked like silver or gilded gold. When they shone, they reflected the colorful light like glazed tiles under the sun.
Their eyes were red like flawless rubies. When they opened their mouths slightly, they were filled with sharp teeth that shone with a cold light. They looked like they could crush steel.
Scarlet Eyed Glazed Horse!
It was a horse with the bloodline of demonic beasts. It was a type of demonic horse that had tyrannical strength, shocking speed, and endurance. It could carry a thousand pounds and easily run five thousand miles. Its speed was like the wind, and its scales could block swords and sabers. Even a martial artist at the ninth level of the Qi and Blood Realm would die if they were hit directly.
This kind of demonic horse did not eat grass. Instead, it fed on flesh and blood. Every meal would require at least 50 kilograms of meat. Just feeding it alone would cost a lot of money. Adding on the other expenses, normal forces would not be able to afford it. Even in a major force like the True Sword Academy, there were no more than 30 Scarlet Eyed Colored Glazed Horses.
This time, they used ten Scarlet Eyed Glazed Horses. It was enough to show how important this event was to the Real Sword Academy.
They were determined to get at least one of the five spots for the True Martial Painting of Enlightenment.
The leader of the ten people was Huan Yun, one of the seven Palace Lords of the Real Sword Academy. Behind him were two elders of the Real Sword Academy who had reached Lv 6 of the True Martial Realm. The remaining seven were disciples who would participate in this competition.
Xuan Jianzi, You Jianzi, Chen Zong, and four other disciples under the age of 24 were all in the Seventh Transformation of the Qi Refining Realm.
The Scarlet Eyed Glazed Horse ran very fast, as if it was lightning, but it was stable and comfortable to ride.
The wind blew past their ears, and the scenery passed by quickly. It was not much slower than when they used Wind Riding and Water Treading. It was even more indescribable.
The competition for the True Martial Painting of Enlightenment would be held in the Sky Martial Academy.
In the True Martial Era of the Eastern Continent, the True Martial Alliance reigned supreme.
The True Martial Arts Alliance was the name of the True Martial Arts Era. It covered all the Martial Cities in the Eastern Continent. It also referred to a force. It was the strongest force in the True Martial Arts Era in the Eastern Continent.
It had the most True Martial Realm experts and the most geniuses.
Below the True Martial Alliance were the Four Great Academies. Below them were the other forces.
Out of the ten spots for the True Martial Dao Enlightenment Painting, the True Martial Alliance wanted five. The other five spots would be left for other forces to fight over. In fact, if it was possible, the True Martial Alliance wouldn't even be willing to give up those five spots.
However, due to the Black Demon Sect's resurgence, the various forces had suffered considerable losses. Under the pressure of the Black Demon Sect and the combined pressure of the various forces, they had no choice but to take out five quotas.
The Four Great Academies were the strongest forces under the True Martial Alliance, and the Tianwu Academy was the leader of the Four Great Academies. Naturally, the Tianwu Academy would be holding the competition within the Tianwu Academy.
Without a doubt, this was another chance to strengthen the prestige of the Tianwu Academy.
The distance between the True Sword Academy and the Tianwu Academy was quite far. The ten of them had set off ten days in advance.
…
"Out of the five quotas, our Shangguan Clan must at least get one."
"That's right. Our Shangguan Clan was the Royal Clan of the previous era. We have been silent for too long. This is a chance for us to rise again."
"Brother Lianyi's cultivation has reached the Seventh Cycle of the Training Realm. His saber skills are superb. He will definitely be able to defeat many strong opponents and get one of the quotas. At that time, our Shangguan Clan will be famous throughout the Eastern Continent."
The group of people from the Shangguan Clan spoke as they hurried along.
During the Kingdom Era, there were three kingdoms. The Shangguan Clan once controlled one of the kingdoms. At that time, they were one of the strongest forces in the Eastern Continent.
However, after the three kingdoms were destroyed, the experts of the Shangguan Clan died. Only a few old, weak, sick, and disabled managed to survive. They slowly multiplied and grew stronger. However, in this era, they had lost their inheritance and the advantages they had in the past.
Time after time, they waited for opportunities to rise again. If they wanted to rise again, they needed a True Martial Realm expert. Otherwise, it would be empty talk.
The competition for the True Martial Dao Enlightenment Painting was undoubtedly an opportunity.
Not only could they become famous, but they could also get one of the quotas. As long as they could comprehend the Martial Realm, with Shangguan Lianyi's talent and potential, they could definitely become a True Martial Realm expert and lead the Shangguan Clan to rise again.
… …
"Hehehe, five quotas for the True Martial Dao Enlightenment Painting? One of them will definitely be mine." The dark-skinned young man revealed his white teeth. Under the sunlight, they shone with a cold light. His eyes were sharp, as if they could see through everything. His whole body was emitting a tyrannical aura, as if he was a ferocious beast.
With a leap, his body leaped more than ten meters high like a lion or tiger. His arms spread out like an eagle spreading its wings, and he flew forward steadily and rapidly until he was more than a hundred meters away, displaying an amazing agility.
Again and again, the dark-skinned young man leaped down the mountain and headed in the direction of the Tianwu Academy.
… …
"This time, you are all competitors for the True Martial Dao Enlightenment Painting. At the same time, the disciples of the other three academies will also be your opponents. In addition, there are also disciples from other forces. You must pay attention to them." The elder of the Giant Blade Academy said in a clear voice.
"Elder, don't worry. We will get at least two of the five quotas." A disciple of the Giant Blade Academy said. This disciple was bald, tall, and muscular. He carried a pair of battle-axes on his back, which shone with a cold light.
"Senior Brother Tie is right. At least two of the five quotas will belong to us." The other disciples of the Giant Blade Academy immediately agreed.
"Don't be careless, especially the disciples of the Sky Martial Academy. They are even stronger enemies." The elder emphasized again.
… …
"Yue Congyun, with your strength, as long as you don't fail, you will definitely get a quota. As for you guys, try your best to get the second quota." The elder of the Blazing Blood Academy said to the disciples.
"Elder, don't worry. I understand."
… …
"Tomorrow, the disciples of the other three academies and the other forces will arrive at the Sky Martial Academy."
"Actually, according to my opinion, there is no need to hold a quota battle. Out of the five quotas, the Sky Martial Academy will take two and the other three will be divided equally among the other three academies. It will save time, effort, and worry."
"This is the decision of the True Martial Alliance. It is not something you and I can interfere with."
In the Sky Martial Academy, the disciples who were selected to participate in the quota battle were chatting.
"To be honest, I don't have the confidence to get one of the five quotas."
"Yes. In my opinion, Senior Brother Qin and Senior Brother Shen will definitely get a quota. As for us, it will depend on our luck."
The Sky Martial Academy was indeed the leader of the four academies. However, it did not really suppress the strength and foundation of the other three academies. At most, it was slightly better than the other three academies.
In this quota battle, the disciples selected by the academies were all outstanding disciples under the age of 24. Not only did they have a high cultivation base, but they were also very strong. Challenging those of a higher cultivation base was not a problem for them.
Especially the Ten Martial Heroes of the Sky Martial Academy, the Nine Heaven Blade of the Giant Blade Academy, the Eight War Generals of the Blazing Blood Academy, and the Seven Sword Sons of the True Sword Academy. Every one of them was very strong.
With five quotas, there were more people than meat. The competition was very intense.
After killing a few demonic beasts for the ten Scarlet Eyed Glazed Horses, the group continued on their way.
Time flew by and ten days passed in the blink of an eye. The outline of the Sky Martial Academy appeared in everyone's eyes.
Along the way, they did not encounter any attacks from the Black Demon Sect.
Now that he thought about it, although the Black Demon Sect had made a comeback, their strength had not yet recovered to the peak they had hundreds of years ago. On the other hand, the Real Sword Academy had a powerful Headmaster and two Elders of the sixth level of the True Martial Realm protecting them. It would be too difficult to intercept and kill them. Even if he managed to kill all of them in the end, he would have to suffer a great loss. It would not be worth it.
Moreover, the Black Demon Sect was not completely silent. They had already made all the necessary arrangements.
The architectural style of the Sky Martial Academy was different from that of the True Sword Academy. It was mainly square and round. It had a unique style.
"Everyone from the True Sword Academy, please come this way." The Sky Martial Academy had already prepared to receive them. Facing the equally strong True Sword Academy, they did not dare to be negligent.
"Oh, Venerable Huan Yun. You are the one leading the team." On the way, a Giant Blade Academy Master smiled and greeted him.
"The other Palace Masters are all busy." Venerable Huan Yun smiled.
"Seven disciples. Two of them are in the Eighth Cycle of the Jin Training Realm. They are the Seven Sword Sons, right? Four of them are in the Seventh Cycle of the Jin Training Realm. There is one more that I cannot see through." The Giant Blade Academy's Broken Mountain Academy Master's gaze was extremely sharp. It was as if a sharp blade was sweeping across everyone's faces. It brought with it a terrifying pressure and sharpness. It felt as if a huge blade was hanging over their heads, ready to chop them into pieces at any moment.
When his gaze fell on Chen Zong, the Broken Mountain Academy Master's eyes flashed with surprise. He was a Lv 7 True Martial Realm cultivator, but he could not see through a Jin Training Realm cultivator's cultivation.
"It is just a cultivation technique that can hide one's aura. It is not surprising." Venerable Huan Yun smiled. He had never been a high-profile person.
"Is that so?" The Broken Mountain Academy Master replied casually. He took a deep look at Chen Zong. He still could not see through him. However, his gaze brought great pressure to Chen Zong. "No matter what, this time, we have to get at least two spots. You can't not even get one."
"Two spots, Broken Mountain. Don't think too highly of yourself." The people of the Fiery Blood Academy walked over from the other side. The Tyrant Blood Academy's hoarse voice carried a hint of mockery as it traveled into everyone's ears. The disciples of the Fiery Blood Academy were filled with battle intent as they stared at the disciples of the Giant Blade Academy and the True Sword Academy. Their gazes also swept over Chen Zong's face.
"Tyrannical Blood Academy, if you are not convinced, then let's make a bet." The Broken Mountain Academy Master smiled coldly.
"Let's make a bet." The Tyrannical Blood Academy Master grinned and looked at Venerable Huan Yun. "Palace Master Huan Yun, do you want to make a bet as well?"
