If Heaven Had Not Given Birth to Me, Young Master Xiao, the Way of the Sword Would Be Like a Long Night for All Eternity!
"Senior, I think you might have some misunderstanding about my talent."
"Misunderstanding? At most, you're just a Profound Rank talent, could you possibly be Earth Rank?"
Lin Jiansan's eyes were dismissive.
"I possess a Born King Physique."
Xiao Chen said suddenly, looking at Lin Jiansan.
He didn't want to show off too much, but he had no choice since the other party was looking down on him. He could only reveal some of his strength, but he changed Divine Physique to King Physique.
Divine Physique was too shocking, and he didn't want to expose it.
But even King Physique was already very frightening!
Therefore, as soon as these words came out.
Lin Jiansan and Lin Qingxian's pupils both shrank suddenly, looking at Xiao Chen in disbelief.
"What did you say? Born King... King Physique?"
Lin Jiansan's whole body was trembling slightly.
Xiao Chen nodded.
Lin Jiansan looked at Chou Wantian again, excitedly asking, "Is what he said true? Is he really a King Physique?"
Chou Wantian also nodded.
"Hahaha, little brother, I was just joking with you just now. The moment I saw you, I felt that you were extraordinary and definitely not someone ordinary. From today onwards, you will be the next Dean of my Sword Immortal Academy. Whoever dares to provoke you, I will personally chop off their dog head."
Lin Jiansan said with great joy.
Born King Physique!
He was actually a Born King Physique!
Although a Born King Physique might not necessarily become a sword cultivator, he knew more than just the Sword Dao!
A monstrous talent like a Born King Physique, even if he was taught some martial arts, would be enough to suppress all directions and be enough to promote the prestige of the Sword Immortal Academy.
It seemed that his Sword Immortal Academy was about to take off!
Lin Qingxian was also staring at Xiao Chen non-stop.
She originally thought that Xiao Chen was just good-looking, a pretty boy who was all looks and no substance, but she didn't expect that he was actually a Born King Physique.
In this era where Earth Rank talent could be called a genius, King Physique was simply synonymous with invincible talent. She just couldn't understand why such a genius would join the dilapidated Sword Immortal Academy.
"Grandpa, could there be a problem here? A Born King Physique is enough to make the five major academies fight to the death for him. How could he join our Sword Immortal Academy?"
Lin Qingxian asked, looking at Lin Jiansan.
Lin Jiansan, who was overjoyed, also calmed down a bit after hearing this.
That's right!
If a King Physique appeared in the academy assessment, the five major academies would definitely fight to the death, and people might even die. How could the Sword Immortal Academy pick up this big leak?
"Little brother, what's your name?"
"Xiao Chen."
"So it's Young Master Xiao. May I ask which family you come from in Barren North? And why did you give up other academies to join my Sword Immortal Academy?"
Lin Jiansan asked.
"I..."
"He is an orphan, raised by a farming family. He joined my Sword Immortal Academy because he wholeheartedly wants to become a Sword Immortal."
Xiao Chen was about to speak when Chou Wantian interjected.
"Is that so?"
Lin Jiansan glanced at Chou Wantian, then looked at Xiao Chen and asked.
Xiao Chen looked at Chou Wantian in confusion, and when he saw the other party desperately winking at him, he nodded and said, "That's right!"
"So that's how it is. You are indeed a miserable child. From now on, you will be a student of my Sword Immortal Academy. You will live in my Slaying Heaven Courtyard!"
Lin Jiansan pondered.
"Grandpa, how can this be? How can you let a man live in the Slaying Heaven Courtyard?"
Lin Qingxian exclaimed immediately.
Although the Slaying Heaven Courtyard had several rooms, they were not far apart, and many things had to be shared, such as the bathhouse.
Letting a man live in, for her, a young woman, was really a bit unsafe, like putting a wolf into a sheepfold.
"Qingxian, don't be so stingy! Look at our Sword Immortal Academy, besides the Slaying Heaven Courtyard, where else is there a place to live?"
Lin Jiansan glared at Lin Qingxian.
His Sword Immortal Academy had declined for decades. He finally had a Born King Physique, and he couldn't wait to treat Xiao Chen like an ancestor. Lin Qingxian was actually so concerned about such a small matter, which was simply outrageous!
"There are so many courtyards outside, can't he live in any of them? Why does he have to live in the Slaying Heaven Courtyard? No, I don't agree!"
Lin Qingxian's face darkened.
"This…"
Seeing his granddaughter's firm stance, Lin Jiansan also found himself in a difficult position. After a moment of hesitation, he looked at Xiao Chen, "Young Master Xiao, how about we trouble you to…"
"Thank you, Elder Lin. I really like this Slaying Heaven Courtyard. I was wondering if I need to prepare my own daily necessities?"
Xiao Chen interrupted him directly, glancing at Lin Qingxian, who was practically on the verge of exploding, with a smile.
Inhaling the faint fragrance emanating from her body, a look of intoxication appeared on his face.
The Slaying Heaven Courtyard was great in every way, and there was even a beauty to accompany him. Only a fool would give up such a good house to live in a dilapidated one!
Lin Jiansan's lips twitched.
This dog wasn't willing to suffer any losses!
He had just wanted to ask Xiao Chen to live somewhere else, but the other party had already made this move!
Now he couldn't refuse even if he wanted to.
"Alright! Then Young Master Xiao can stay here! Everything is provided, you just need to bring yourself!"
"Grandfather, I don't agree! He's just a Born King Physique, and he might not even have any talent in swordsmanship. Is there a need for you to be so nice to him?"
Lin Qingxian questioned through gritted teeth.
"Miss Lin, are you implying that if I have talent in swordsmanship, you'll let me live in the Slaying Heaven Courtyard?"
Xiao Chen retorted.
"You? Do you think that just because you have high talent in martial arts, you'll definitely have talent in swordsmanship? Sword cultivators are rare and sought-after geniuses, one in ten thousand. Don't dream!"
Lin Qingxian sneered.
High talent in martial arts was a necessary, but not sufficient, condition for becoming a sword cultivator.
High talent in martial arts meant that the person had sufficient physical strength to withstand sword energy and even sword intent.
But it didn't necessarily mean that they had talent in swordsmanship. Swordsmanship had extremely high requirements for temperament and will.
Xiao Chen, with his pretty-boy looks, didn't seem like someone with a firm mind, so the possibility of him having talent in swordsmanship was slim.
More importantly, the Sword Spirit Stone at the Sword Immortal Academy had almost exhausted its Sword Soul value.
Unless one was an unparalleled genius in swordsmanship, there was almost no possibility of awakening it.
"Then let's make a bet! If I can become a sword cultivator, you'll let me live in the room next to yours. If I can't, I'll move to another place and never bother you. How about it?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Deal."
Lin Qingxian agreed decisively.
"Great! It's a deal!"
Xiao Chen nodded immediately, a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes, almost imperceptible.
Lin Qingxian was still too naive, actually daring to bet with him!
He had a system, so becoming a sword cultivator was a certainty. How could he lose?
She really didn't know how treacherous people could be.
"Kid, you've been tricked this time! The Sword Soul value in the remaining Sword Spirit Stones at the Sword Immortal Academy is almost exhausted. Unless you're an unparalleled sword cultivator in the making, the chances of awakening are slim. The only reason I brought you here was to try my luck! It looks like you'll be living in a broken-down house like me!"
Chou Wantian said with some schadenfreude.
"That's not necessarily true! Maybe I am an unparalleled sword cultivator in the making?"
Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Heh! You're thinking too much! Nowadays in Great Xia, the entire way of the sword has declined. It's been almost a thousand years since an unparalleled sword immortal was born! No matter how powerful you are, can you defy the heavens?"
Chou Wantian mocked.
"If the heavens hadn't given birth to me, Young Master Xiao, the way of the sword would be like a long night for all eternity. I am destined to be the one to revive the way of the sword!"
Xiao Chen shook his head.
As soon as he said this, everyone was stunned, looking at Xiao Chen with shocked expressions.
How could this person be so shameless?
Revive the way of the sword?
Did he think he was a sword god descended from the heavens?
