Three months later, a handsome horse left the village and galloped back to the main road.

At the peak of the back mountain, a beautiful silhouette silently watched the dust on the road. Droplets of sparkling tears fell onto a stalk of withered grass below.

What was strange was that the withered plant slowly turned from weak to upright. The withered plant slowly turned yellow and left its surface. A sense of vitality slowly appeared from its body.

Suddenly, a figure appeared behind the girl and knelt on the ground.

"Miss, it's time to go back! Next year, your physique will awaken! It's not suitable for me to stay here! " The figure lowered his head and spoke with an extremely respectful tone.

"Good!" It's time to go back! " At this moment, the girl turned her head and a trace of indescribable majesty appeared in her eyes. This majesty seemed to have been born with it. It did not have its usual weakness. The only difference was the two tears on her face.

At the same time, in the living room of the Lin Family Village, Lin Yuan and San Ye sat together, looking at the back of the mountain and sighing.

"Third Uncle, what would happen if Little Han knew about this?" Lin Yuan could not bear to see that.

"Young people! He would always experience something! There's nothing we can do about it! When their family was in trouble, they left her with us. Now that the time is up, naturally we have to return! " San Ye calmly took a sip of tea and said lightly.

"Sigh …"

"..."

On the public road, a cloud of dust rose as a handsome horse galloped in from the distance.

At this moment, Lin Han's heart was filled with lofty sentiments, born in this chaotic world. Men were born with great ambitions, and they traveled everywhere to cultivate their supreme cultivation base, taking advantage of heaven-defying fortune.

Looking at the fork in the road, Lin Han looked for a direction and then headed in a certain direction.

Just as Lin Han stepped into the crossroads, on the hillside behind him, a perverted looking man with a sneaky demeanor opened his mouth slightly, "Another one!"

Lin Han looked around, and an indescribable sense of panic overtook him. He saw a rapidly flowing river on his right, and a small hill on his left.

He had only advanced three to four hundred meters when he saw a group of people slowly walking towards him. They were holding weapons, swords, spears, cudgels, and everything else in their hands. Lin Han was taken aback, but he immediately slowed down and turned his head to the back.

Just as he turned the horse around, he saw a group of people walking towards him from the back. They were also holding a few weapons.

Lin Han's expression darkened as he dismounted. The ring on his finger lit up and the long sword appeared in his hand.

"Third Master! He had a storage ring, a good item! This time we're rich! " One of the lackeys in the crowd pointed at the long sword in Lin Han's hand and said to a fatty beside him.

"I saw it!" The Third Master slightly narrowed his eyes. Someone who could possess a storage ring was most likely not a simple person!

Lin Han's expression was ice-cold as he looked at the approaching crowd, ready to strike at any moment.

"Before I lose my temper, scram!" A cold and slightly deep voice sounded from the center of the crowd.

After hearing these words, the surrounding people were stunned for a moment. They looked at each other, then burst out in laughter.

"This little bastard is so funny!"

"He's going to lose his temper! I'm so scared! "

"..."

One after another, taunts were heard from Lin Han's surroundings, like needles stabbing into Lin Han's ears.

Looking at their expressions and their foul language, Lin Han's heart was slightly enraged. A trace of malice slowly emerged from the depths of his heart, as he coldly looked at his surroundings.

"Since you have chosen this path! Then don't blame me! " Lin Han drew his sword, and a beam of spiritual light abruptly appeared in front of him.

Following the appearance of this ray of spiritual light, rays of light began to disperse in all directions, as if they were spiritual swords.

"Body refining ninth level, not good! "Quick, flee!" The Third Master immediately sensed Lin Han's aura when he saw Lin Han's aura erupt. He then spoke to the surrounding people before taking the lead to run out.

After hearing Third Boss' words, everyone was stunned for a moment. Body refining ninth level, this little kid? Impossible! These thoughts appeared in everyone's mind.

"There's no need to run. The Zhiyang Sword Technique — — Soaring Sunset Soars the Sky." At this moment, a cold and seemingly emotionless voice appeared in everyone's ears. They subconsciously looked towards the source of the voice.

First of all, it was endless light. It was so bright and dazzling that everyone subconsciously closed their eyes. Following which, an endless sense of danger appeared in everyone's mind, causing them to wake up from their stupor. Everyone looked at Lin Han in fear, before desperately running in all directions.

Now, they believed it! The young man in front of him was at the 9th Body Refinement Layer! And it was even more terrifying than a normal body refining ninth level!

"Too late!" As the sound of Lin Han's voice faded, the crowd froze in place, as blood blossomed in the air, intertwining with each other, giving birth to a sense of extreme beauty and violence.

After the light dissipated, Lin Han stood alone in the middle of the crowd, as everyone fell to the ground.

Lin Han cast a glance at the Third Master, who had already fled far away, and slowly put away the long sword in his hand.

Silently, he walked in front of the anxious horse and comforted it a few times. He then got on the horse and continued on the official road.

Qing He County, Qing He City.

Today was the first day of recruitment for the new batch of academies in the three great academies of Qing He City.

In Qinghe County, there were three great academies in Qinghe County: the Vine Pavilion, the Dao Court, and the Military Administration. They recruited all the academies in Qinghe County, and even the surrounding counties.

As for the three great academies, the Military Strategy Manor was a school that was established to fund the development of Qing He City. They would recruit some descendants of the military, or some youths who had talent but no money to study.

Of course, most of the students would go to the military after graduation, and most of them would join the army in Qing He County. It could even be said to be a military factory in Qing He County.

The Dao Court was an institution designated by the imperial government. It possessed a great amount of teachers and a great amount of cultivation resources. To recruit talented individuals, regardless of whether they were poor or wealthy, as long as they met the requirements, they would be able to enrol into the academy.

As for students who graduated from the monastery, they had to work under the academy's assignment for a full five years before they were allowed to act freely.

On the other hand, the Green Vine Pavilion was founded by a martial arts master, so 80% of its fame was related to their pavilion master.

Ye Qingteng — — Rumor has it that it was the Yuanshi Realm martial arts cultivation, the Pavilion Master of the Green Vine Pavilion.

On the other hand, there were two ways that the Green Vine Pavilion could recruit students. It sounded somewhat eccentric, and there were even some who didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

The first, teachers will go to the registration site and ask three questions, if they are satisfied with the answer, they will be hired.

The second type would have the keepsake given by the Pavilion Master, and could directly register to enter.

Speaking of this second type of connection, every time this kind of student appeared, most people would think that it was just a disciple from a large clan trying to curry favor with Ye Qingteng.

And at that instant, the three big registration grounds could be said to be filled with people. No matter which academy they joined, to these young people, it represented power, money, and status.

This was especially true for some of the youths in the slums. They worked hard every day not only to survive, but also to be able to join these academies.

Every year, the students that were recruited had strict requirements. At the age of sixteen, he would be at the 9th Body Refinement Layer, and this threshold prevented more than 80% of the applicants.

The martial artists continued to walk out in disappointment. To them, it was clear that they had lost an opportunity to measure their strength.

Surprise could be heard from time to time from the crowd. It was obvious that these people had successfully joined the academy.

Just as a large number of martial artists were working hard to join the academy, a young man quietly stepped through the city gate! He headed straight for the City Lord's Mansion.
