66: Chapter 66 The Seven Demon Blades of Annihilation!

"Senior Sister Pei, congratulations, congratulations!"

"That's right, Senior Sister Pei! Professor Jiang has said that as long as you can place in the top ten in this Prefecture Exam, he will take you as an Inner Disciple!"

"Senior Sister Pei, don't forget us when you become rich and famous!"

Several young girls dressed in orange skirts surrounded a beautiful figure as they walked slowly out from the depths of the Prefectural Academy.

The woman surrounded by the others possessed a delicate and ethereal beauty, with features as exquisite as a painting. However, she exuded a cold, aloof aura that kept others at a distance. Standing tall and graceful, she listened indifferently to the banter and congratulations of those beside her. Though her expression remained cold, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, unable to be suppressed.

Within the Prefectural Academy, "Professor" is a title of extremely high status.

Those who can obtain this title are all genuine experts of the Innate Realm. Not only is their cultivation profound, but they are also deeply versed in the way of nurturing others, possess vast experience, and have top-tier knowledge and attainments in the martial arts, commanding immense prestige within the Prefectural Academy.

Ordinary students of the Prefectural Academy can at most receive guidance from ordinary teachers; being personally instructed by a Professor is a rare honor.

As for her, to be favored by a Professor and intended to be taken as an Inner Disciple is an immense Opportunity that is unattainable for countless ordinary Martial Artists.

Furthermore, Professor Jiang Hong is by no means comparable to ordinary Prefectural Academy professors; his cultivation has long since stepped into the Grandmaster Realm, making him one of the few top experts within the Prefectural Academy.

For such a person to be willing to pass on his mantle and carefully nurture her, even as the direct daughter of the Pei family with an extraordinary background, she was still filled with joy and cherished this greatly.

Once she enters under his tutelage, her future path in martial arts will surely be smooth sailing. Her cultivation resources, connections, and horizons will all undergo a qualitative leap, and her future achievements will be limitless.

As they were chatting and laughing, one person suddenly asked in confusion: "Huh, what happened over there?"

"Looks like someone is trying to comprehend the saber on the gate plaque?!"

"Look at this group of people; they must be students from various County Academies here to take the exam."

"Heh, just a bunch of kids from small places, actually daring to dream of comprehending the Saber Intent left behind by Master Lin. It's truly overestimating their own capabilities."

The group of women walked to the main gate of the Prefectural Academy and immediately caught sight of the group from Wurong County Academy standing before it. They stopped and cast sidelong glances, their words filled with contempt and ridicule.

"Hmm?!"

"It's him?!"

Pei Yunshu, walking at the very front of the group, initially did not pay any attention to the commotion at the gate.

Such scenes were already commonplace at the Prefectural Academy. Nine out of ten students from various places coming to take the exam would be attracted by the Saber Intent contained within the main gate plaque, unable to resist stopping and focusing their minds, attempting to comprehend the Concept of the saber path from it.

However, this plaque has hung on the gate of the Prefectural Academy for over a hundred years. For a century, countless Geniuses and Prodigies have come here for its reputation, and those who have focused their minds to comprehend it are countless.

Yet, never has anyone been able to truly penetrate its essence or comprehend even a shred of the Saber Intent from it.

She had originally assumed it was just another group of ignorant County Academy students acting out of temporary curiosity. Her gaze swept across the crowd casually, but it suddenly froze on a tall, upright figure, and a trace of surprise flashed in her cold eyes.

Chen An!

For this young man, whom she had only met once a few days ago at Wurong County Academy and who was also the childhood sweetheart of her close friend Shen Qinglan, Pei Yunshu naturally had a slight impression.

In her impression, Shen Qinglan was exceptionally gifted and outstandingly beautiful.

She should have left that remote small county long ago to enter a higher institution to Cultivate with focus, yet she was willing to remain in a backwater place like Wurong County Academy for years for the sake of Chen An. This matter had always made her hold a grudge against Chen An, and her impression of him had always been poor.

Furthermore, she had long since learned from Shen Qinglan that Chen An only possessed a Mid-grade Martial Bone, and his cultivation was only at Qi Condensation Stage 2.

With such mediocre, almost inferior Aptitude, let alone in the Chengtian Academy where Geniuses gathered, even in a remote small county like Wurong County Academy, he could only be considered a bottom-tier laggard; he couldn't catch her eye at all.

This made her feel all the more that this person was unworthy of Shen Qinglan's devotion, and the contempt in her heart deepened.

However, seeing Chen An standing in front of the Prefectural Academy gate right now, eyes slightly closed, looking as if he were immersed in comprehension, a flash of surprise couldn't help but flicker in Pei Yunshu's cold eyes.

Looking at it this way, this Chen An must be one of the new students who came to the Prefectural Academy with the other Wurong County Academy students.

But, wasn't Chen An's cultivation at Qi Condensation Stage 2?!

With such cultivation, he was actually able to get into the Prefectural Academy? Has the quality of Martial Artists in Wurong County Academy become this low?!

Moreover, taking a look at the scene, most of the students from Wurong County Academy had already been injured by the backlash of the Saber Intent while trying to comprehend the plaque and had retreated to the side.

But, Chen An was still standing there with a calm expression?!

Is he grandstanding, trying to put on a show of having extraordinary talent in front of everyone, or does he truly have some Comprehension Ability?!

One must know, let alone ordinary new students, even students of the Prefectural Academy generally get their spirits shaken and injured by the backlash within moments of trying to comprehend the Saber Intent on the plaque.

"Senior Sister Pei, do you know him?!"

The girl beside her, seeing Pei Yunshu's gaze land on the seemingly unremarkable young man, couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Pei Yunshu did not reply; she simply withdrew her gaze from Chen An, shook her head indifferently, and then continued walking forward.

Clang!!!~~~

However, just as she lifted her foot, the void suddenly trembled, and a cold, deathly Saber Intent burst forth from the plaque in front of the Prefectural Academy gate.

At the same time, a crisp, high-pitched saber hum soared into the sky!

"System!"

In front of the Prefectural Academy gate, a sharp glint flashed in Chen An's eyes, and he shouted in his heart.

The next moment, a panel only he could see appeared before him:

Host: Chen An Age: 17 Aptitude: High-grade Martial Bone Cultivation: Great Grandmaster Realm (Perfection) Current Balance: 90000

Taking a look at the balance on the System panel, Chen An shouted in his heart again:

"Consume 1,000 balance, exchange for 1,000 years of cultivation time, fully deduce the Demonic Saber Intent before me!"

[Ding! System activated!] [1,000 years exchanged successfully!] [Detected residual Saber Intent...] [Fully deducing the Heaven Rank supreme Martial Skill—Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction Saber Intent for you...]

Boom!!!~

As the words fell, Chen An felt his Sea of Consciousness roar.

The fragmented insights he was barely struggling to grasp were instantly scattered, and a vast, desolate, and murderous Saber Intent surged into the depths of his Divine Soul like a bursting flood.

The deathly, domineering Demonic Saber Intent on the plaque was no longer a repressive force of backlash; instead, it transformed into the purest nourishment, being fully absorbed and refined along the trajectory deduced by the System.

Countless profound and mysterious saber formulas, starting moves, circulation pathways, and murderous Concepts unfolded and appeared with absolute clarity in his Sea of Consciousness.

The Heaven Rank saber technique, originally obscure and unreachable, now seemed to have layers of mist stripped away, and from the Foundation to the essence, it was all revealed before his eyes.

A piercing, peerless, and world-destroying domineering Saber Intent quietly permeated from his body, actually connecting with the peerless Saber Intent on the Prefectural Academy plaque.

Clang!!!~~~

The next moment, the void trembled!

Accompanied by the Saber Intent sweeping across the sky, a clear, high-pitched, and resounding clanging saber hum shot straight into the clouds, echoing throughout the inside and outside of the entire Prefectural Academy...
