The Sword Dao Academy's Invitation

"Martial Uncle Ku, you flatter me. We were merely exchanging a few pointers."

Xiao Chen did not act arrogantly because he had won; instead, he spoke with a smile.

The students from the Sword Dao Academy have been completely defeated and subdued by Xiao Chen.

"Holy Son Xiao, your Peerless Sword Dao truly lives up to the title of Invincible Sword."

The dean then turned his gaze to everyone present. "I've always told you that there are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. You shouldn't be arrogant. Have you learned something new today?"

Normally, people would definitely scoff at these words.

In their view, even among the prodigies of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, only one or two monstrous talents could suppress them.

But Xiao Chen before them completely overturned their understanding; he had comprehended the True Essence of Sword Dao at the Nirvana Realm, something they had never witnessed before.

Elder Ku said, "Holy Son Xiao, if you have time, could you please give a lecture on Sword Dao cultivation to the disciples of my Sword Dao Academy?"

"Of course."

Xiao Chen did not refuse. He came here to exchange Sword Dao with others, and discussing swordsmanship and philosophy with others was also a form of cultivation.

The dean said, "This isn't the place for chatting, everyone. Let's go sit down in the academy first."

"Promise."

After everyone responded, they walked happily towards the academy.

Sword Dao Academy's Moonwatching Peak is where the Sword Dao Academy usually entertains distinguished guests.

After Xiao Chen and the others sat down, the dean immediately shut out those around him and addressed everyone present. "Everyone, please do not spread the news of Holy Son Xiao's actions today."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's face showed a hint of doubt, and he cast a curious glance at the dean.

Elder Ku cupped his hands and said, "Could it be that the Dean intends to have Holy Son Xiao represent my Sword Dao Academy in the Western Peak Sword Debate six months from now?"

"Good."

After the dean responded, he explained to Xiao Chen, "To be honest, Holy Son Xiao, every sixty years, our Sword Continent holds a Western Peak Sword Debate. The force that wins first place can obtain ten qualifications to enter the Sword Emperor's Cliff for enlightenment and cultivation."

Every cultivator who enters Sword Emperor's Cliff to comprehend the Dao will undergo a transformation, and many King and Marquis have even broken through to the Great Sage Realm within Sword Emperor's Cliff.

In the past, the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect always won first place, and over time, the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect became the dominant force in the Sword Continent.

Now that you have personally come to the Sword Continent, I humbly request your assistance.

Xiao Chen had originally wanted to ask the dean if there were any good training grounds in the Sword Continent, but unexpectedly, someone delivered a pillow just as he was about to fall asleep.

Without hesitation, he agreed, "Sure."

When Xiao Chen agreed, everyone present showed excited expressions and began to speak.

"With Holy Son Xiao taking the lead this time, our Sword Dao Academy is sure to win the championship!"

"Indeed, it's time to let the world witness the power of our Sword Dao Academy."

"..."

Xiao Chen remained silent, his anticipation for this year's Western Peak Sword Debate growing stronger.

The sword cultivators of the Sword Continent must not disappoint me.

"Now that we've finished discussing business, let's have someone prepare a banquet. We should have a good drink with Holy Son Xiao tonight."

The dean asked with a smile, "Holy Son Xiao, you wouldn't refuse to drink, would you?"

Xiao Chen: "Drinking is a long-standing tradition at Miaomiao Mountain. Tonight, we won't leave until we're completely drunk."

Dean: "What a fine 'we won't leave until we're drunk'!"

Meanwhile, at the Giant God Academy in the Barbarian Continent, on the Heavenward Peak, outside the teleportation array.

A group of tall, burly cultivators lay sprawled on the ground.

The surrounding cultivators looked at the arrogant young man, each daring to be angry but daring not to speak out.

This guy is too arrogant, completely disregarding their Giant God Academy. But unfortunately, he's just too strong; they're no match for him.

"Holy Son Cao, we were negligent just now, please forgive us."

A burly, bald old man said with a helpless expression.

"Senior, it seems your Giant God Academy's body-refining techniques are lacking."

Cao Youqian said with a half-smile, his expression giving off a very irritating vibe.

"What Holy Son Holy Son Cao says is absolutely right. I wonder if you could reveal your body-refining method?"

Although the dean of the Giant God Academy was unhappy, he couldn't argue with the fact that their Giant God Academy's Eighteen Giants Formation had been broken by the opponent with a single punch.

Even a newly Great Sage was defeated by this kid.

Originally, the Giant God Academy wanted to give the Holy Son of Dao Seeking, Yi'e, a hard time, to let him know that this was not Profound Continent. Even if he was a Saint Son, since he had come to train, he had to abide by the rules, otherwise he could forget about observing the Giant God Academy's cultivation methods.

Unexpectedly, this outsider was incredibly strong, beating the man so badly with his bare fists that he couldn't even speak.

He had previously been dismissive of the news from the Dao-Seeking Academy —this time, a holy son who had refined his body had arrived.

In the eyes of the Heaven-Supporting Great Sage, how could the body-refining techniques of the Dao-Seeking Academy possibly compare to those of the Giant God Academy?

The body-refining technique they practice is a divine art, capable of stimulating the bloodline within the body and ultimately transforming one into Giant Spirit God god.

Cao Youqian, "What's so difficult about that? But do you really intend for me to just talk like this?"

Those around him were taken aback by his words. They had thought he was going to take the opportunity to kick them while they were down, so why had he suddenly changed his tune?

The Heaven-Supporting Great Sage laughed and said, "This was truly my oversight. Please, Holy Son Cao."

After saying that, he gave a wink to one of the deacons beside him.

The latter immediately understood and hurriedly ordered people to prepare a banquet.

Half an hour later.

The banquet was held on Tidewatching Peak.

Several graceful female disciples poured wine for everyone.

The dean raised his wine glass and said, "Holy Son Cao, we've become acquainted through a fight today. Let me first offer you a toast as a gesture of hospitality."

"No problem."

As Cao Youqian spoke, he raised his wine glass and took a sip, but the next second he spat out the wine.

puff...

This action immediately drew the ire of everyone present, even the Heaven-Supporting Great Sage's expression turned grim.

Cao Youqian, "Grandmaster Uncle, is all the wine in your Barbarian Continent this bad? You are, after all, a Saint, you should enjoy yourself. I specially brought a few jars of Saint Wine from the Dao-Seeking Academy for you to taste."

After saying that, he completely ignored everyone's expressions, took out a jar of wine from his storage ring, and opened it in front of everyone.

In an instant, the rich aroma of wine filled the entire courtyard, and everyone present changed their expressions immediately.

The initial anger turned into ecstasy.

Cao Youqian stood up and appeared beside the dean in one step, pouring the wine out of his glass.

"Grandmaster Uncle, I'm a rather direct person, please don't mind."

The Heaven-Supporting Great Sage was about to get angry, but the wine that Cao Youqian poured was so fragrant that it roused all the cravings for alcohol in his stomach.

"It's full, it's full, don't let it overflow."

Cao Youqian poured the wine perfectly. The Heaven-Supporting Great Sage looked at the wine in the cup and said, "Since Youqian specially poured this wine for me, then I will take a small sip first."

After saying this, he drank the wine in front of him in one gulp.

ha...

Soon, the Heaven-Supporting Great Sage revealed an expression of enjoyment. "Youqian, you're right, the wine I drank before was all garbage!"
