Take Your Trash and Scram!

"Old Chou, what's the meaning of this? Are you looking down on me?"

Xiao Chen was immediately displeased.

Chou Wantian sneered, "Heh heh, young man, don't be so arrogant. The difficulty of the Sword Dao is far beyond your imagination. Whether you have the talent for the Sword Dao or not, you'll know after a test with me."

He didn't have high hopes for Xiao Chen. He had seen many young men like Xiao Chen who didn't know the immensity of heaven and earth, thinking that just because they had some talent in martial arts, they could also succeed in the Sword Dao.

In reality, they were completely wrong. The conditions for becoming a sword cultivator were extremely harsh. Peerless sword cultivators all possessed outstanding martial arts talent, but those with strong martial arts talent might not necessarily become sword cultivators.

In the past, there were several people like Xiao Chen with innate royal bodies, even above royal bodies, who wanted to join his Sword Immortal Academy, but ultimately failed.

To enter the Sword Dao, in addition to high martial arts talent, one also needed affinity with the Sword Dao and a tenacious, indomitable sword heart.

The Sword Dao is about advancing courageously, being invincible.

No matter how strong the enemy is, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will cut through it with a single sword, and I must not have the slightest intention of retreating.

Once you retreat when encountering a strong enemy, then that sword heart will be destroyed.

This is why so few people can become sword cultivators, so few people are willing to become sword cultivators, and so few sword cultivators can grow to the end.

Once you embark on the path of the sword, you cannot turn back, and you must walk an invincible path.

The risk is too great. Although once successful, you will be invincible in the same realm, sweeping through thousands of troops.

But throughout the endless ages, how many people can become gods with their swords and shatter the void?

More of them fade into obscurity and fall sadly!

Under Chou Wantian's lead, Xiao Chen quickly arrived at the Slaying Heaven Courtyard.

"Old Chou, didn't you say your senior brother hates you to the bone? Why did you bring me to the Slaying Heaven Courtyard?"

Xiao Chen was puzzled.

"The last small piece of Sword Spirit Stone remains in my Sword Immortal Academy is in my senior brother's hands. If you want to become a sword cultivator, you must obtain his approval."

Chou Wantian glanced at the Slaying Heaven Courtyard in front of him, his expression complicated.

Back then, he and Lin Jiansan were as close as brothers, eating and sleeping together. He never thought that after that incident, they would now be like strangers!

Life is impermanent, it's truly sigh-worthy.

"Chou Wantian, why are you here again?"

Chou Wantian and Xiao Chen had only stood at the entrance of the Slaying Heaven Courtyard for a short while when a sound of air being torn apart rang out, and a cold and beautiful girl suddenly appeared in front of them.

The girl had extremely beautiful features, wearing an ice-blue dress, with a slender waist and high, proud breasts. Her eyes were azure, revealing a faint sense of alienation, and she was looking at Xiao Chen and Chou Wantian with an impatient expression.

Xiao Chen was slightly stunned when he saw the girl.

This girl is quite something, even more beautiful than Ye Qingxuan, one of the ten beauties of the Barren North!

It's unexpected that there could be such a gem in this dilapidated Sword Immortal Academy.

"Heh heh, Qingxian, tell your grandfather that I have found a talent for the Sword Immortal Academy, and ask him to come out and meet him."

Chou Wantian said with a smile as he looked at Lin Qingxian, not caring about her previous rude attitude.

Although he had rarely set foot in the Slaying Heaven Courtyard in the past few decades, he would occasionally recommend some talents and had dealt with the girl in front of him a few times.

The girl's name was Lin Qingxian, and she was Lin Jiansan's granddaughter.

Ten years ago, she was sent to the Sword Immortal Academy by her father, Lin Chongzhen.

Lin Qingxian's background seemed to be not simple. Back then, Lin Chongzhen encountered the pursuit of several Martial King Realm giants on the way to escort her to the Sword Immortal Academy, and almost lost his life on the spot.

He guessed that the people who wanted to deal with Lin Chongzhen should have terrifyingly high status.

After all, Martial Kings were second only to Martial Emperors. Those who could drive Martial Kings to take action were at least Martial Emperors, or even above Martial Emperors.

"Chou Wantian, haven't I told you not to send any more trash to my Slaying Heaven Courtyard? Which of the people you've sent over the years can be called a talent? More like idiots!"

Lin Qingxian glanced at Xiao Chen and said coldly.

Over the years, Chou Wantian would recommend some talents to the Slaying Heaven Courtyard every once in a while, saying that these people were unparalleled sword cultivator embryos and the hope of the academy's revival, but after so many years, none of the people he recommended were sword geniuses, not even one who could trigger the Sword Spirit Stone.

Even their martial arts talents were terrifyingly low, not even one above the Earth Rank.

Lin Jiansan had initially held hope for him, but later, he became more and more disappointed. Now, he was completely disappointed in Chou Wantian.

Now, the Sword Dao has declined throughout Great Xia. Where are there any sword geniuses!

Even if there really were, why would they join the already dilapidated Sword Immortal Academy?

"Qingxian, this time is different! Look at this kid, he's extraordinary, he's definitely not someone ordinary!"

Chou Wantian pointed at Xiao Chen and said.

Lin Qingxian sized Xiao Chen up and down, and frowned slightly, "He does look decent, but cultivating the Sword Dao requires a heart that advances courageously. This person looks delicate and pampered, he's obviously from a life of luxury, so how could he possibly become a sword cultivator?"

Hearing Lin Qingxian's evaluation, Xiao Chen's face darkened.

Why is this girl judging people by their appearance!

"Heh heh, Qingxian, you're wrong about that. This kid looks a little weak on the outside, but his martial arts talent is extremely amazing, and he can be considered a promising talent!"

"Amazing? How amazing? Profound Realm? You should quickly take your genius away from my Slaying Heaven Courtyard!"

Lin Qingxian's expression grew increasingly impatient.

"Qingxian, trust me one more time."

"Trust you again? How many times have we trusted you? And what do you do? You always bring back trash and waste to fool us!"

Lin Qingxian frowned, glancing at Xiao Chen with disdain.

Xiao Chen: "???"

Why is she venting her anger on him?

What does he have to do with the useless people Old Chou brought back in the past?

"Chou Wantian, take that piece of trash next to you and get the hell out of Slaying Heaven Courtyard!"

Chou Wantian wanted to explain, but suddenly, a cold shout came from not far away. In the next instant, a tall old man appeared silently in front of Chou Wantian.

The old man had white hair draped over his shoulders, a square face, and tiger-like eyes. His whole body was surrounded by an exceptionally terrifying sword aura. Just standing there gave people an extremely terrifying sense of oppression. This person was none other than Chou Wantian's senior brother, Lin Jiansan.

"Senior brother, you're finally willing to come out and see me!"

Seeing Lin Jiansan, Chou Wantian said with a complicated expression.

"Where did you find this kid? Did you abduct him again?"

Lin Jiansan looked at Xiao Chen with a cold expression.

Chou Wantian shook his head with a smile, "He was recruited from the Barren North Academy entrance examination. This kid took the initiative to join!"

"Kid, you took the initiative to join? Are you out of your mind?"

Lin Jiansan said in surprise, shifting his gaze to Xiao Chen.

The corner of Xiao Chen's eye twitched involuntarily, and he said, "Senior, my lifelong dream has been to become a sword cultivator, soaring through the nine heavens on a sword, slaying demons and eliminating evil!"

"Kid, I have to say, you have some ambition, but I have to pour a bucket of cold water on you. To become a sword cultivator, you need to be a genius, one in ten thousand. Not to mention sword talent, your martial arts talent must at least reach Earth Rank. This kind of requirement is not something an ordinary person like you can achieve!"

Lin Jiansan said indifferently.

Just from the fact that Xiao Chen took the initiative to join Sword Immortal Academy, he could say with 100% certainty that this was a piece of trash.

Anyone with even a little bit of talent, who would join Sword Immortal Academy?
