Cao Fei's spirit energy formed a ten feet long sword image above Di Chen's head, Cao Fei used his right hand to slash, following Cao Fei's movements, the sword image whistled down.

"Sword Martial Spirit," Di Chen said with a grave expression on his face. Sword Martial Spirit was usually the most injurious of the artifact martial soul.

The power of his words surged out, the word 'cut' struck the sword projection like a sharp blade, the two clashed together, the sword and blade both collapsed at the same time, a wave of ripples spreading out, Di Chen was pushed back a few steps, while Cao Fei was flipped over and smashed heavily onto the ground, causing him to spurt out a mouthful of blood.

When Cao Fei landed on the ground, it proved that he had completely lost to Di Chen!

"Impossible," Cao Fei said as he looked at Di Chen in disbelief. His Sword Martial Spirit was a descendant of the Cao family, but he was actually unable to defeat someone at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm?

Seeing this scene, the spectators were all amazed.

"This guy is so powerful, but why haven't I seen any Yuan Li undulations from him?"

"That's right. Fighters use elemental energy as their foundation. The martial arts this man is using is so powerful, but the elemental energy doesn't fluctuate at all. What's going on?"

No elemental energy, no martial arts!

All the martial arts of a warrior were executed using elemental energy. However, Di Chen had such a strong battle and there was no movement of elemental energy in his body, which made everyone curious.

Shang Yu walked over and asked with a pained heart: "Big Brother Di Chen, are you hurt?"

"Let me see," Qin Suer said as she grabbed Di Chen's wrist and checked his pulse. Then she said: "This Cao Fei is indeed powerful, his meridians are damaged, but he is fine.

Hearing this, Shang Yu heaved a sigh of relief, then fiercely looked at Cao Fei and wanted to attack him.

Di Chen pulled Shang Yu back, and laughed: "Forget it, let's go."

If it was before, Di Chen would definitely kill people, he had always been decisive in killing, but this time, after all, Shang Yu was the one who wasn't kind.

"Don't leave," Cao Fei was unwilling, he still wanted to attack, but just as he moved, he spat out another mouthful of blood. His body couldn't move at all, and could only watch as the other party left.

There were two old men on the seventh floor of the Universe Pavilion. One of them had a head full of white hair, old like a dragon, and his hands were tied behind his back, this person was the Principal of the Sky Realm Academy, Mu Zhongli. Beside Mu Zhongli was a black-haired old man wearing a robe, giving off a feeling of might without getting angry, and this person was the Vice Principal of the Sky Realm Academy, Liang Xinghe.

Mu Zhongli curiously looked at Di Chen's back figure and smiled: "This Martial Region Continent is indeed talented. Xinghe, did you see what technique he used just now?"

Liang Xinghe stared at Di Chen for a while and said: "Just now, his body did not have a trace of spirit energy, but each and every attack was extremely powerful, so I presume that what he used was not spirit energy, but a literati?"

If one practiced martial arts, then there would be elemental energy in the body. If one practiced literati, then there would be another power in the body but this power could not be seen or felt. If it were not for literati, it would be impossible to see through.

However, in the entire Martial Region Continent, there were very few people, and it was incredibly difficult to become a saint with knowledge. Even Liang Xinghe and Mu Zhongli had not seen many of them.

"I can see that his body is thin and weak, that's why he cultivates the arts in such a way. He is definitely a martial artist, he is a literati."

When Mu Zhongli said this, his face was full of doubt, "Most of the cultivators who practice literature will be participating in science and technology, but this guy is obviously here to participate in Sky Realm Academy's assessment at this time. A literati will even participate in our academy's assessment?"

Liang Xinghe thought for a while, "The Imperial examinations just ended, and the Flame Emperor has already made his announcement. I think that this guy must have failed the examinations, which is why he is here to take the Sky Realm Academy examination."

Mu Zhongli shook his head. "Look at his strength. He must be someone with literary talent. This kind of person should not have failed the examinations. Perhaps he is a scholar, but he has never thought of taking the Imperial Examinations."

However, there were some people who were born with no attainments in martial arts, so these people could only study. Normally, the scholars would choose to take part in the Imperial examinations to rise above the rest, and this was their only way out for them. There were many scholars in Martial Region Continent, but not many of them were able to turn into martial artists.

There was a huge difference between a literati and a scholar. Scholars might have literary talents, but they might not have strength, and literati had not only literary talents, but they also had the ability to use writing as a martial skill, and the brush as a sword, as well as the language.

Since Di Chen was a literati, it naturally showed that he was talented. How could such a person fail the rankings?

Liang Xinghe laughed: "He is an interesting fellow, I wonder what kind of relationship he has with Shang Yu. Shang Yu, this girl, is as cold as ice and frost, yet she is so sticky, like a completely different person compared to before. If those people from the academy who admire Shang Yu were to see her, I wonder what they would think."

Shang Yu rarely interacted with others in the academy, especially with the man. He always had a look of "don't disturb me", but now she held onto Di Chen's arm, with the bashful look of a little girl. This made even Liang Xinghe surprised.

Shang Yu was called the Ice Beauty in the academy. Since when did she like someone so much?

Mu Zhongli laughed. "That's right, I heard that the genius from the Jiang family and the genius from the Fang family will be participating in the Sky Realm Academy's assessment. Looks like this assessment will be interesting."

Liang Xinghe also revealed a face full of anticipation. Every year, there would be a lot of people who came to the Sky Realm Academy to take the examination, but this was the first time he saw how the two Principal looked forward to the examination.

It was rumored that the Jiang Clan and Fang Clan would be the top two this year. However, it seemed that there would be a lot of dark horses that would shock them this year.

Of course, Di Chen did not know that he had already become the target of discussion. He did not mind the fact that there were countless experts in Millennium City and that he was only at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm.

In reality, although the Martial Region Continent respected martial arts, there were still many of them. It was just that cultivation was harder than martial cultivation, and very few cultivators could become sages, let alone defeat martial cultivators.

Previously, when Di Chen said that he wanted to study and participate in the Imperial Examinations, many people ridiculed him, saying that no matter how good a martial artist one was while reading a book, they would be able to kill you with a slap. That was the truth.

"Little girl, you've gone too far this time."

On the way back, Di Chen said snappily: "I think that Cao Fei only admires you. Why did you lie to him for a thousand silver."

Shang Yu laughed happily: "This Cao Fei is so annoying, relying on his sister's status and strength in the academy to show off, if it wasn't for his sister, I would have already taught him a lesson. Being lectured by you this time is also good, let's see if he dares to disturb me in the future."

It was only then that Di Chen knew Shang Yu's goal, and glanced at her angrily: "So you want me to avenge you, little girl, to use you on your own."

Shang Yu said coquettishly, "Don't even mention making use of him to sound bad, I'm your fiancée. Since someone is bullying me, of course you have to help me teach him a lesson."

Di Chen said in a speechless manner: "We can't talk too much about you, let's hurry up and go back, let's first help Lin Tao recover his injuries and then we can talk."

The few of them returned to the inn.

Qin Suer took out a small green bottle. This bottle contained the spirit liquid refined by Qin Suer herself.

Lin Tao took out a One Breath Life Pill and swallowed it before drinking another mouthful of elixir. The elixir melted in his mouth and a warm and cold energy entered his body. Lin Tao could feel an itch in his body because his meridians were being reborn.

"Hmm?" Lin Tao stretched his body. Previously, just by exerting a little bit of strength, he would feel a heart-wrenching pain, and he couldn't walk for too long. But now, after throwing a few punches, he didn't feel any pain at all.

Lin Tao said excitedly, "This Bone Ablutionary Dan Bead is indeed magical. My body seems to have recovered quite a bit."

Qin Suer laughed: "In the future, one pellet per day. After ten days, your body will be able to recover, but you need to start training again."

Lin Tao's face was originally filled with excitement, but upon hearing these words, he immediately said with a sullen face: "I'm already so old, do you still have any chance of reaching Lifestealer Realm after cultivating again?"

Fighters cultivate and build their foundation from a young age. Even Lin Tao, who had cultivated for over a decade, was still a Fighter 6-dan. He had long surpassed the golden age for building his foundation, so it would be difficult for him to cultivate again.

Di Chen comforted her: "Cultivation also depends on luck, I have not cultivated for long, and have still not become a Lifestealer Realm. Lin Tao, how big is this Martial Region Continent, with countless immortal fates, you will still have a chance."

Lin Tao laughed bitterly: "Who can compare to you, I'm not that kind of lucky chance. Forget it, I'll just take it one step at a time, maybe I'll even have a chance to break through Lifestealer Realm."

Lin Tao seemed to be very sad, but Lin Tao was in a good mood and did not put this matter to heart. After all, the world was unpredictable, so who could say what would happen in the future?

"Oh yeah," Di Chen suddenly thought of Cao Fei's words. "Didn't Cao Fei say that there was something strange going on with the Thousand Monster Mountain, why don't we go and try our luck?"

Shang Yu immediately retorted: "Big Brother Di Chen, don't act recklessly. Although this Thousand Monster Mountain has countless treasures, there are also many demonic beast and some have even become Demon Saints. With your cultivation, you definitely won't be able to return."

Thousand Monster Mountain was the biggest mountain in the area, and in the neighboring cities, many people would enter the Thousand Monster Mountain to hunt demonic beast s and collect Spirit Grass s. Sky Realm Academy would also send people to train in the Thousand Monster Mountain every year, and it could be said that the Thousand Monster Mountain was a natural treasure trove, but it was dangerous in the mountain, so there were only a few people who could return safely.

Di Chen was only at the first stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, and this kind of realm would probably cause him to be killed by demonic beast the moment he reached the foot of the mountain.
