In fact, Dongfang Tianxiu had almost been defeated. The reason why he had been able to dodge Chu Xingyun's lightning-fast sword in the end was because of the Lingmu Emperor's unique skill — Swaying Willow in the Wind.
The Lingmu Emperor's Wu Ling was a willow tree. The Lingmu Emperor's unique skill originated from Wu Ling's Swaying Willow in the Wind movement technique.
Once this movement technique was used, one would be like a willow swaying in the wind. It was extremely difficult to be hit.
The Lingmu Emperor had relied on this movement technique that combined swordsmanship, movement technique, and movement technique to become the leader of the four great Emperors.
Similarly, Dongfang Tianxiu had also relied on this movement technique to surpass the Five Great Elites and become the strongest of the Five Great Elites.
The Swaying Willow in the Wind had been practiced to the extreme. When attacking, thousands of willow-like sword qi weaved back and forth. The enemy simply had no way to escape.
When dodging, one would be like a willow swaying in the wind. No matter how hard one tried, one would not be able to hit the target.
As for defense, the extremely flexible willow branches were not easy to destroy. Their ability to borrow and redirect force was even stronger than that of the water element.
Many times, when the opponent slashed at the willow branches, not only would they not be able to injure the willow branches, but the willow branches would instead turn into long whips and whip the opponent away.
According to legend, the Lingmu Emperor's Wu Ling was a willow tree with three thousand willow branches hanging down from it.
Using these three thousand willow branches, the Lingmu Emperor could control three thousand treasured swords at the same time. Whether it was one on one or in a group fight, he could be said to be invincible. He was the leader of the Four Great Emperors.
Although Dongfang Tianxiu's realm was still very low and had not even reached the realm of a Martial Emperor, his swordsmanship cultivation was very high. His Swaying Willow in the Wind sword technique had even reached the realm of becoming one with the sword.
On the way out of Nanming Academy, Chu Xingyun could not help but sigh. These five prodigies were really haunting him.
Chu Xingyun actually didn't care whether he could enter Nanming Academy or not. It would be better if he could enter. If he couldn't, then it wasn't a big deal.
To be honest, so what if he understood Di Tianyi?
With Di Tianyi's talent, talent, and heaven-defying strength, once he appeared in front of them, they would have absolute confidence in defeating him.
The reason why Chu Xingyun was working so hard and actively trying to understand everything was that he was doing his best and leaving the rest to fate. He couldn't just sit at home and wait for Di Tianyi to take over his body, could he?
After returning to Jin Feng Restaurant, Chu Xingyun was planning to return to the King Suite on the top floor when he bumped into Hua Nong Yue.
When he saw Chu Xingyun, Hua Nong Yue quickened his steps and walked up to Chu Xingyun. His eyes lit up as he asked, "How was it? Did you pass?"
Shaking his head awkwardly, Chu Xingyun said, "Everything was going smoothly at first. I won 97 people in a row. But at the last moment, Dongfang Tianxiu appeared."
Dongfang Tianxiu? Who was that … Hua Nong Yue looked puzzled.
After a simple explanation, Hua Nong Yue quickly understood who the so-called Dongfang Tianxiu was.
Frowning gloomily, Hua Nong Yue said, "I really didn't expect that even the Emperor would learn to fool people."
Shaking his head with a bitter smile, Chu Xingyun said, "They were forced to do so. Obviously … the Emperor hasn't given up on the idea of marrying Shui Liu Xiang."
Sigh …
Letting out a long sigh, Hua Nong Yue said, "As the saying goes, a beauty is a disaster. It seems that it's true. But … the captain is too good at attracting trouble."
Facing Hua Nong Yue's complaints, Chu Xingyun could only smile bitterly. Who could he blame?
If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame Shui Liu Xiang for being too outstanding. If he wanted to blame someone, he could only blame himself for falling in love with this girl.
Shui Liu Xiang herself wasn't at fault.
Shaking his head helplessly, Hua Nong Yue said, "Since you've been targeted by Dongfang Tianxiu, then you don't have to think about the upper house of Nanming. You should think about whether you can join the lower house of Nanming."
What? The lower house of Nanming?
Chu Xingyun looked at Hua Nong Yue in confusion. Obviously … this was the first time he heard that there was a difference between the upper house and the lower house of Nanming Academy.
Facing Chu Xingyun's question, Hua Nong Yue had no choice but to temporarily put down the things at hand. She led Chu Xingyun to the reception room. After all … there were many things that weren't suitable to be said in the main hall.
After entering the reception room, the two of them casually found a seat and sat down.
After sorting out her thoughts, Hua Nong Yue said, "Those who can successfully pass the trial of a hundred people are all outstanding people of the younger generation. They can directly enter the upper house of Nanming Academy. They will have the best resources and receive the best training."
Then … what about the lower house of Nanming Academy? Chu Xingyun asked.
After thinking for a while, Hua Nong Yue said, "The lower house of Nanming Academy is specially opened for those who have outstanding talent but don't have the conditions to cultivate."
The upper house of Nanming Academy valued strength. Therefore, it was basically monopolized by the children of the rich and powerful.
The lower house of Nanming Academy valued talent. Therefore, it was basically the children of the commoners.
Looking curiously at Hua Nong Yue, Chu Xingyun asked cautiously, "Then, what are the recruitment criteria for the lower house of Nanming Academy? Do they need to take part in the assessment? "
Shaking her head, Hua Nong Yue said, "The lower house of Nanming Academy only looks at talent. It doesn't talk about strength and there are no assessments. As long as your talent is outstanding, you can enter the lower house of Nanming Academy."
Only looking at talent?
Hearing Hua Nong Yue's words, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but smile.
If it were the Chu Xingyun of the past, he would definitely smile in despair when he heard the word talent. This was because he had no attributes and had no talent to speak of.
However, things were different now. Now, he had fused with the phoenix blood essence. When it came to talent, who would he be afraid of?
At this moment, Chu Xingyun's heart was burning with the phoenix's nirvana flames. Although it wasn't the most supreme talent, it was definitely one of the strongest talents!
After pondering for a while, Chu Xingyun said to Hua Nong Yue, "Put down everything on hand for now. Join forces with Jun Wuyou and mobilize the power of the entire Heaven Underworld to help me find these herbs."
As he spoke, Chu Xingyun took out a piece of paper and quickly filled it in.
Soon, hundreds of herbs were written down by Chu Xingyun.
Chu Xingyun handed the paper filled with the names of the herbs to Hua Nong Yue and said, "Within three days, I want to see these herbs. How about it … Is there a problem?"
After looking carefully at the names of the herbs written on the paper, Hua Nong Yue said firmly, "I don't know if it can be done, but no matter what, I will do my best!"
Hmm …
Chu Xingyun nodded and said, "There's no time to lose. Go and do it immediately."
Hua Nong Yue nodded at Chu Xingyun, stood up, and quickly left the guest room.
After watching Hua Nong Yue leave, Chu Xingyun took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.
With his talent and potential, it wouldn't be difficult for him to enter the lower house of Nanming Academy.
However, he didn't join the lower house of Nanming Academy this time to study, nor did he want to fight with anyone.
Chu Xingyun only had one purpose for entering Nanming Academy, and that was to find a way to understand Di Tianyi!
