68: Chapter 68 The Four Grandmasters' Leaders Snatch Someone!

Walking on air!

Controlling Qi in mid-air!!

Experts of the Grandmaster Realm!!!

The crowd in front of the Prefectural Academy watched as four figures appeared in the Void Realm, their minds shaken and their faces filled with awe.

Experts of the Grandmaster Realm—these were martial artists powerful enough to establish a sect within the entire prefecture!

Such experts were rarely seen, even within the Prefectural Academy.

Yet today, four had appeared all at once!

The crowd subconsciously refocused their gaze on the seemingly ordinary youth in the center, understanding dawning in their hearts.

This disturbance of the Saber Intent that had shaken the entire Prefecture City, and the simultaneous appearance of the four Grandmasters, were all caused by him.

And the four experts of the Grandmaster Realm who had appeared followed the crowd's gaze and landed simultaneously on Chen An.

"Qi Condensation Realm?!"

Sensing the flow of Qi on Chen An, a bronze-skinned middle-aged man couldn't help but frown slightly.

The four descended and landed in front of Chen An.

"Was it you who triggered the Extinction Blade Intent?!" A plump, beautiful middle-aged woman asked, her eyes darting as she scrutinized Chen An from head to toe with a hint of interest.

Chen An also calmly scanned the four Grandmaster experts before him, a strange glint flashing in his eyes.

In the tiny Wurong County, the Innate Realm was already considered the pinnacle of power, enough to deter anyone.

But now, here in front of the Prefectural Academy, standing right before him were four Grandmasters capable of walking on air.

It could only be said that the Prefectural Academy was indeed the martial core of the prefecture, with a profound foundation that far surpassed any small county.

It was just unclear whether there were any supreme experts hidden within this Prefectural Academy who had surpassed the Great Grandmaster Realm and entered the Martial King Realm.

However, after a moment's thought, Chen An dismissed this idea.

What kind of existence was a Martial King? They were top-tier titans capable of guarding an entire territory, and there were likely fewer than a hundred of them across the entire Human Race.

Moreover, such experts usually bore the heavy responsibility of protection, often stationed at the front lines of the Tianyan Mountain Range to defend against the invasions of the Ancient Demon Race and guard the safety of the Human Race's borders; they would never easily reside within a Prefectural Academy.

"This Junior, dean Fan Suiyun of the Wurong County Academy, greets you, Seniors!"

Seeing that Chen An did not immediately reply, Fan Suiyun, standing to the side, thought Chen An was intimidated by this lineup. His eyes darted, and he quickly stepped forward, cupping his fists respectfully to the four as he said, "This child is named Chen An, a Disciple of our Wurong County Academy. It was he who triggered that supreme Saber Intent just now!"

"Oh, Wurong County Academy?!"

Hearing Fan Suiyun's words, an old man with crane-like hair and a youthful face standing to the side flashed a sharp glint in his eyes and stared intently at Chen An, saying, "In that case, you are a new Disciple this year?!"

"In reply to the Senior, Chen An is indeed the second-place winner of this year's Wurong County Martial Examination!" Fan Suiyun replied respectfully on his behalf, cupping his fists again.

"Second-place in the County Exam?!"

The old man with crane-like hair and a youthful face raised an eyebrow, then suddenly reached out to grab Chen An's wrist, sensing slightly.

"Ninth Stage of Condensing Qi?!"

(PS: Don't ask, if you ask, it's because the protagonist intentionally released a bit of his Cultivation.)

Sensing Chen An's Cultivation Realm, the old man with crane-like hair and a youthful face couldn't help but frown slightly.

A second-place winner of the County Exam, and he was only at the Ninth Stage of Condensing Qi?! Had the teaching quality of Wurong County really fallen to this level?!

However, when the old man with crane-like hair and a youthful face saw the two sword marks on the ground not far away, seemingly carved by a long blade, and the plaque on the gate, a burning intensity flashed in his eyes.

"The Ninth Stage of Condensing Qi is already quite good!"

"With such Comprehension Ability, to be able to comprehend the Extinction Blade Intent of Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction, what does it matter if the Cultivation is a bit lacking?!"

"This is the Extinction Blade Intent of Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction!!!"

"Over a hundred years, a full hundred years, and finally someone has comprehended the Extinction Blade Intent of Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction, and can even resonate with the Saber Intent left behind by Master Lin!"

"This child's Comprehension Ability must be unparalleled!"

"Even if his Aptitude and foundation are a bit lacking, with such Comprehension Ability, I, this old man, can use Heaven And Earth Treasure and resources to forcefully raise his Cultivation Realm!"

Thinking of this, a warm, kindly, and even slightly fawning smile appeared on the face of the old man with crane-like hair and a youthful face as he looked at Chen An and said, "Little Friend Chen An, I am Headmaster Mo Xuanchen, Head of the Dao of the Blade Department at the Prefectural Academy!"

"I am at the Late Stage of the Grandmaster Realm!!!"

"As long as you are willing to join my Dao of the Blade Department, I will give you the highest standard of training resources in the blade department!"

"Earth Rank Cultivation Technique, Earth Rank Martial Skill, you may choose whatever you like!"

"I will equip you with a High Grade Earth Rank divine weapon without costing you a single cent!"

"Plus one million yuan crystal, all gifted to you for your cultivation!"

He took a half-step forward, his gaze burning like fire, and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Besides this, I am willing to break the rules and accept you as my personal inner-chamber Disciple, pouring out everything I have learned in my life to personally teach you the supreme Profound Truth of the Dao of the Blade, and Cultivate you hand-in-hand!"

Mo Xuanchen stared fixedly at Chen An, his desire unmasked.

The faces of the other three Grandmasters to the side instantly darkened, secretly cursing this old fox for being so fast and shameless.

As soon as he finished speaking, the plump, beautiful middle-aged woman to the side immediately raised her eyebrows, quickly stepped forward to push the others aside, and looked at Chen An with burning eyes, her voice clear and moving: "Old Ghost Mo, you are too impatient. Snatching people like this is beneath your dignity as a Grandmaster!"

After a pause, she continued looking at Chen An and said, "I am Headmistress Su Qingyi, Head of the Sword Dao Department of the Martial Academy, and I am also at the Late Stage of the Grandmaster Realm!"

"Little Friend Chen An, join my Sword Dao Department, and the benefits will only be greater!"

"Not just Earth Rank, but even Heaven Rank Sword Classics—as long as you can Cultivate them, I will not be stingy!"

"Also, I have a High Grade Earth Rank divine sword; as long as you join my Sword Dao Department, I will grant it to you directly!"

"Besides this, I can also give you 1.5 million yuan crystal every year!"

"My Sword Dao foundation far exceeds that of the blade, and the Sword Dao reaches the heavens, with a much broader path ahead. I am also willing to accept you as my final Disciple, cultivating you with care; you will surely become a generation's Sword Sovereign in the future!"

Mo Xuanchen's face immediately sank, and he retorted, "Girl Su, this child has natural Comprehension Ability for the Dao of the Blade and can trigger the Extinction Blade Intent of Seven Demonic Blades of Extinction. He is a natural prodigy for the Dao of the Blade; joining the Sword Dao would purely be a waste of his future!"

"Hmph, the path of martial arts leads to the same destination; with Heaven-Defying Comprehension Ability, one can succeed at anything!" Su Qingyi did not yield an inch.

At this moment, a burly man with an Aura like a mountain stepped out, his voice like a booming bell, causing the surrounding air to tremble slightly:

"The two of you, stop arguing!"

"I am Chu Cangyue, Chief Elder of the Fist and Palm Department!"

"Little Friend, your Comprehension Ability is Heaven-Defying. If you join my Fist and Palm Department, I will gift you top-grade Body Tempering medicinal treasures and teach you all my Heaven Rank Body Refining Cultivation Techniques, and present you with two million yuan crystal!"

"If you are a man, you should practice Body Refining!"

"Refine your Physical Body to be invincible, and sweep across your peers—how majestic that would be!"

Finally, the black-clad old man with an Aura of slaughter slowly raised his eyes and said coldly, "Stop arguing, all of you."

"I am Li Qianfeng, Head of the War Academy, stationed at the border all year round to eradicate the Ancient Demon Race."

"Little Friend, you possess a peerless Saber Intent; you are exactly the kind of killing talent most needed at the front lines!"

"Join my War Academy, and you can directly accompany me to the border for training, slay Demon Race creatures to accumulate battle merits, and exchanging military merits for Heaven And Earth Treasure and top-tier Cultivation Techniques will be easy. If you have enough battle merits, you can even exchange them for Heaven Rank supreme treasures!"

The four big shots of the Prefectural Academy each used their own methods, throwing out sky-high benefits, scrambling to recruit Chen An. They argued back and forth, neither willing to yield, and the scene was extremely lively...

The surrounding students watched with dropped jaws, their hearts churning with turbulent waves. Who could have imagined that a newly promoted Disciple of the Qi Condensation Realm could cause five high-level experts of the Grandmaster Realm to lower their status and fight over him like this? Such a scene was simply unprecedented...
