Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Can’t Help Bragging, Can You?
As the academy competition approached, Yang Xiaotian stopped his cultivation and flew to the competition square.
The contest square was located in the Core Disciples’ cave dwelling area, a considerable distance away.
However, with Yang Xiaotian’s speed, he soon arrived at the contest square.
When Yang Xiaotian arrived, he saw that many Core Disciples were already standing on the square, including the four swordsn and four beauties.
In addition to them, Tian Wanqing, Lin i’er, Tang Huan, and Yao Qingxue were also present; Yao Qingxue and her group did not participate, they and many other disciples had co to watch.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian’s arrival, Tian Wanqing, Lin i’er, and Yao Qingxue all went up to greet him.
All but one of the four beauties, except Zeng Qianqian, also stepped forward to greet Yang Xiaotian.
“I heard that Junior Brother Yang saved Junior Sister Wan Ning in the Sea of Stars,” Princess Jiuhu, Bai Li, said with a smile, “Junior Brother Yang is truly a hero saving a beauty.”
Donghuang Xiu, who had a good relationship with Princess Wan Ning, even teased with a laugh, “If it were , I would have pledged myself to him long ago.”
Bai Li giggled, “I’ve heard that the Great Emperor has always wanted to see Junior Brother Yang.”
Princess Wan Ning stamped her foot with a blushing face, “What are you two talking about? My father just wants to et Junior Brother Yang to thank him personally.”
From a distance, the wielder of the Demon Sword, Xiao Han, and the Invincible Sword Heart, Xie Buhui, overheard Princess Jiuhu and Donghuang Xiu talking about pledging themselves, and their expressions darkened.
In particular, Xie Buhui’s heart flashed with a hint of murderous intent.
By then, Shen Yuwen of the Shen Family and Yan Long of the Yan Family had also arrived, both of them looking enviously at the won surrounding and joking with Yang Xiaotian.
As more Core Disciples arrived, Dean Chen Jing, Elder Li Bi, and other high-ranking officials of the academy were not far behind.
Chen Jing glanced over the crowd and said with a smile, “Now that everyone is here, let’s begin.” His gaze fell on Yang Xiaotian, and he continued, smiling, “Xiaotian, are you sure you want to participate in this academy competition? Actually, you’ve just entered the academy this year. It wouldn’t hurt to cultivate for a couple more years and then compete.”
Hearing Chen Jing suggest that he cultivate for a few more years before competing, Yang Xiaotian was speechless; if he cultivated for another two years, he would already be in the Azure God Mansion, what use would there be in participating in the academy competition?
“Thank you, Dean, but I’ve already decided to join this academy competition,” Yang Xiaotian said, bowing with a smile.
He knew Chen Jing was worried he might lose too badly later on, concerned that it would be a severe blow to him.
However, he also knew that Chen Jing ant well.
“Good, if that’s the case, then let’s wait and see how well you’ve cultivated these past few months,” Chen Jing laughed.
Li Bi and the other masters all smiled kindly.
In fact, they also wanted to see how well Yang Xiaotian had cultivated these past few months.
Yang Xiaotian had been out practicing all this ti, and he had even gone to the Sea of Stars in recent days; they were worried that he might have gotten lazy with his cultivation.
If that were the case, after the academy competition, they would need to encourage him to diligently cultivate.
Yang Xiaotian was soone in whom both the Azure God Academy and the Azure God Mansion had placed great hopes.
Consequently, the crowd began to draw lots.
Yang Xiaotian drew number fourteen.
To everyone’s surprise, Xie Buhui, the Invincible Sword Heart, also drew number fourteen.
Seeing that Yang Xiaotian would have to battle Xie Buhui in the first match, Chen Jing, Li Bi, and the others frowned.
Wan Ning, Bai Li, Lin i’er, and Yao Qingxue all looked worried.
Especially Wan Ning, whose face was filled with concern.
“Junior Brother Yang, be careful,” Wan Ning couldn’t help but warn Yang Xiaotian, “His sword, it’s very sinister.”
Seeing the worried look on Wan Ning’s face, Yang Xiaotian replied with a smile, “Don’t worry, Senior Sister Wan Ning, I’ll be careful.” Having said that, he soared forward and landed on the fourteenth platform.
Xie Buhui saw that he had drawn Yang Xiaotian and, after the surprise, was filled with excitent.
In these past days, he had always prayed to et Yang Xiaotian in this grand tournant of the academy.
And now his prayer had indeed been answered!
It seed, even the Azure God had heard his prayers and truly allowed him to face Yang Xiaotian.
And it was the very first match!
Hiding his murderous intent, Xie Buhui leapt onto platform number fourteen.
All eyes were on Yang Xiaotian and Xie Buhui.
Shen Yuwen and Yan Long saw that Yang Xiaotian was to battle Xie Buhui and naturally felt a secret thrill of delight.
As he landed on the platform, Xie Buhui stared at Yang Xiaotian and laughed, “I didn’t expect my first opponent would be Junior Brother Yang! It’s still not too late for Junior Brother Yang to withdraw from the competition.”
“Otherwise, if Junior Brother Yang, with his dual Divine Elixir Golden Cores and twelve Invincible Sword Hearts, were to be defeated by in the first match, wouldn’t it beco a joke once the word spreads?”
Yang Xiaotian looked at the hypocritically smiling Xie Buhui and said indifferently, “No need, make your move, let’s finish this quickly. To defeat you, half a move is enough.”
Everyone was taken aback.
Chen Jing smiled bitterly, “This little guy, really is sothing!”
Even Li Bi and other masters were speechless when they heard Yang Xiaotian say he only needed half a move to defeat Xie Buhui.
Xie Buhui, as one of the Four Swords, was well-known for his talent and fighting power. Recognized as the second-ranked at the Azure God Academy, his strength was second only to Jun Xiaoyao among all the disciples.
Yang Xiaotian, a new disciple who had just joined the academy, actually claid it would only take half a move to defeat Xie Buhui!
One should know that even if Jun Xiaoyao opened up another hundred and twenty acupoints, he would need at least several hundred moves to defeat Xie Buhui.
Jun Xiaoyao himself was astonished to hear Yang Xiaotian claim he could defeat Xie Buhui with half a move.
He shook his head, not knowing quite what to make of this Yang Xiaotian.
Bai Li, Yao Qingxue, and several other girls who were just worried about Yang Xiaotian were quite speechless. This guy, could he die if he didn’t brag?
When Xie Buhui heard this, he burst into an infuriated laugh, “Defeat in half a move? Fine, Yang Xiaotian, if you can defeat in half a move, I’ll eat dirt right here on the spot!”
He felt like he was about to go mad with rage.
“Yang Xiaotian, I’ll let you make the first move!” Xie Buhui’s eyes flashed fiercely as he roared, “If you can’t defeat in half a move, I will make you regret coming into this world!”
After Xie Buhui’s roar, golden pillars of light shot up from his body into the sky as he activated one acupoint True Essence Power after another, quickly surpassing four hundred acupoints.
Then, in the blink of an eye, he reached four hundred and twenty acupoints!
“Four hundred and twenty acupoints!” Many disciples in the crowd were astonished.
Chen Jing and the others were also surprised; they hadn’t expected that in just a few months, Xie Buhui had opened up so many more acupoints, especially since the last ti he drew upon the power of Heaven and Earth to open one hundred and twenty acupoints, he had only three hundred and ninety-nine.
But after four hundred and twenty acupoints, it didn’t stop there; soon, Xie Buhui’s awakened acupoints reached four hundred and thirty.
“Four hundred and thirty acupoints!” The crowd was even more shocked.
In the end, the number of acupoints Xie Buhui had awakened broke through to four hundred and fifty-nine!
He had opened up sixty more acupoints than the previous three hundred and ninety-nine.
That was equivalent to five tis the Minor Circulation.
Clearly, after opening up one hundred and twenty acupoints last ti, Xie Buhui still had energy to spare. With the arduous training of these past days, he had managed to open up acupoints equivalent to five tis the Minor Circulation.
Seeing that Xie Buhui had opened up to four hundred and fifty-nine acupoints, everyone was profoundly shaken.
