"The Thunder Devouring Sword trembles, could it be because of this stele?" Xu Ping’an was incredibly astonished in his heart.
To Xu Ping’an, the Thunder Devouring Sword always seed profoundly mysterious.
Based on his conjecture, this Thunder Devouring Sword must be a trendously powerful divine artifact.
The fact that it could cause the Thunder Devouring Sword to tremble ant that the stele before his eyes was at least of divine artifact caliber.
Even capable of posing a threat to the Thunder Devouring Sword, it was evident that this stele was destined to be extraordinary.
"Tenth Prince, may I take a look at this stele?" Xu Ping’an asked.
"You may. The academy has always been open in this regard, always adhering to the belief that opportunities belong to those who are destined. If Brother Xu can gain the opportunity from this stele, then no one would find it inopportune," said the Tenth Prince.
In fact, he was also curious to see if Xu Ping’an would give it a try.
This Heavenly Divine Stele was a precious treasure of the academy, and the opportunity it contained must surely be profound.
If Xu Ping’an could gain this opportunity, it would undoubtedly be a trendous gain for him.
Now that Xu Ping’an was a mber of his faction, the stronger Xu Ping’an beca, the greater the help he would be to him.
Hearing the Tenth Prince’s words, Xu Ping’an also felt sowhat tempted.
This was a treasure on the sa level as the Thunder Devouring Sword; even in his previous life, he couldn’t help but be moved.
"The opportunity of the Heavenly Divine Stele is not sothing just anyone can covet. Even Song Kaitian never stepped within a hundred ters of the stele, let alone comprehend the content on it."
"Qin Mu, you should know that even the Sovereign of Great Qin once visited and only managed to approach within 76 ters of the stele. He was able to discern half a character on it. Now you’re hoping he can obtain the stele’s opportunity, isn’t that laughable?"
Just then, a scoffing laugh was heard.
Following that, a man with a heroic appearance, a face like flawless jade, clothed in a white robe and with a deportnt that seed to defy the mundane world, walked over with an expression of lofty pride.
"It’s him, Luo Tianhe. He’s actually left seclusion."
"Luo Tianhe, wasn’t he cultivating in the academy’s inner chambers? It’s said he received the inheritance of the ’Xuantian Divine Record’. I wonder if he’s broken through to the Seventh Rank."
"So soon? Probably not yet, but it’s likely not far off."
"Has he co here to target Xu Ping’an?"
"Most likely, since everyone knows that he is a man of the Crown Prince."
...
Many of the academy’s disciples were surprised to see this person and couldn’t help but comnt.
Qin Mu’s expression also instantly turned solemn.
"This man is nad Luo Tianhe, the grandson of the Third Elder of the academy. At twenty-eight, he has already reached the Sixth Rank Peak. His strength is formidable; he once killed a Seventh Rank Expert while being only at the Sixth Rank Peak. He has a sworn brotherly relationship with my elder brother. I’m afraid his ergence from seclusion this ti is aid at you and ," Qin Mu whispered to Xu Ping’an.
Xu Ping’an remained poker-faced. Although he anticipated that the Crown Prince would take action, he did not expect it to happen so quickly.
The man before him was strong. Soone who could kill a Seventh Rank Expert while at the Sixth Rank Peak was definitely not simple.
However, he was not afraid. As long as it was not a Seventh Rank, the threat to him was not significant.
"Luo Tianhe, what are you implying? The sages of the academy have once said, ’The opportunities of the academy are for those with destiny to seize.’ Since Brother Xu has co here, he naturally has the chance to try. Are you suggesting you would stop him?" Qin Mu said coldly.
Luo Tianhe smiled dismissively, "When did I ever say that I would stop him? I’m just informing so people not to overestimate themselves. Besides, the Heavenly Divine Stele is not sothing just anyone can examine. Those with an unstable will might crumble under the pressure of the stele. The light-hearted could beco foolish, the serious could die. I’m rely being kind."
Luo Tianhe’s words resonated with many of the academy’s disciples.
Because they all knew that Luo Tianhe wasn’t one to make empty boasts.
The Heavenly Divine Stele was indeed dangerous. Many of them dared not even attempt it.
They had witnessed with their own eyes soone arrogant enough to venture near the stele and collapsing into madness, ultimately dying.
Even Song Kaitian had never dared to step within a hundred ters of it.
"Then there’s no need for your concern; I have my own asure," Xu Ping’an said with a light chuckle.
"So, you’re Xu Ping’an. I had believed you to be soone of note, but it seems you’re nothing special after all. Don’t think that just because you’ve defeated Song Kaitian, you are truly invincible among the younger generation. Song Kaitian’s number one ranking is only for those under twenty-six. In terms of real strength, he doesn’t even make the top twenty among the academy disciples," Luo Tianhe said with a cold laugh.
Academy disciples are those under thirty years of age, so there are indeed powerful geniuses between the ages of twenty-six and thirty within the academy.
And Luo Tianhe was one of them.
"My apologies, I’m only nineteen this year," Xu Ping’an said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Luo Tianhe’s expression froze, and then his eyes narrowed.
The bystanders were all incredibly surprised.
Xu Ping’an was only nineteen?
Wasn’t that far too young? Although they all knew that Xu Ping’an had defeated Song Kaitian, they were unaware that Xu Ping’an was only nineteen.
At nineteen, Xu Ping’an had already claid the number one spot in the Holy Refinent. When he reached the age of Luo Tianhe, would he not possess the Cultivation of the Seventh Rank?
At this mont, Luo Tianhe also felt the threat from Xu Ping’an, and a lethal intent surged in his gaze.
He had originally only co to have a look at Xu Ping’an, wanting to see the strength of the person who had won first place in the Holy Refinent.
As for underestimating Xu Ping’an, as a genius of the academy, he would not be so foolish.
His taunting of Xu Ping’an was rely to provoke him, to make Xu Ping’an attempt the trial of the Heavenly Divine Stele.
With Xu Ping’an’s Fifth Rank Cultivation, to forcefully attempt it would most certainly damage his soul origin.
"Junior Brother, this person seems to harbor ill intentions, deliberately provoking you to attempt the stele," Li Qingyi whispered to Xu Ping’an.
"Hmm, he indeed has that purpose. Xu Brother, although I also wish for you to try the stele, he is right: the stele is really dangerous. Perhaps it’s better not to," Qin Mu pondered for a mont before saying.
However, Xu Ping’an just laughed.
"I’m well aware of his purpose, but I’m also quite interested in this stele. Even if he hadn’t goaded , I would have attempted it," Xu Ping’an said with a faint smile.
He could certainly see through Luo Tianhe’s intentions.
Believing him to be young and impulsive, unable to withstand provocation, and destined to try his luck.
It was also a conviction that he wouldn’t be able to withstand the pressure from the stele.
Unconcerned, Xu Ping’an began to walk towards the stele.
To the side, Luo Tianhe chuckled lightly, his smugness confirming the rashness of youth; just a few words from him and the young man couldn’t resist.
The surrounding academy disciples all looked on with astonishnt.
Was Xu Ping’an really considering attempting the stele?
Had he gone mad?
Even Seventh Rank Experts struggled to withstand the stele’s oppression, and here was a Fifth Rank wanting to attempt it. Wasn’t that a bit too arrogant?
It seed as though securing first place in the Holy Refinent had made him sowhat conceited.
The surrounding academy disciples all thought as much.
In the shadows, so elders who had been observing Xu Ping’an since his arrival at the academy also shook their heads slightly.
The Heavenly Divine Stele, how could it be ordinary?
If the stele were to harm the foundation of one’s Dao, even if one did not die, they could never hope to achieve anything further in their life.
None of them had been able to peek at the stele’s mystery; a re Fifth Rank dared to seek fortune?
Truly ignorant of the imnsity of heaven and earth.
