104: Chapter 104 Daozi Blocks the Imperial Academy with Sword, Sword Immortal Dislikes Dog Blocking His Way

The morning in Yankang Capital always woke up accompanied by the sound of peddling and a faint mist.

Ye Xiu, dressed in white, with a purple-red wine gourd hanging from his waist, walked with extremely leisurely steps along the bluestone long street leading to the Imperial Academy.

A night of madness.

After reaching Great Perfection in the Nine Transformations of Dragonization last night, the pure Yang True Dragon Qi inside his body, which was as violent as an ancient volcano, had finally been completely calmed and stabilized with the "life-risking assistance" of the two peerless beauties from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

At this moment, Ye Xiu felt refreshed, and every cell in his body was filled with terrifying power capable of tearing apart gods and demons.

He could even feel that even if he did not circulate any True Essence, just by the instinct of his Physical Body, ordinary Spells and Formations in this capital would never be able to harm him in the slightest.

"This job as the Grand Guest Elder of the Imperial Academy is actually quite leisurely."

Ye Xiu pulled the stopper off the gourd and took a very comfortable gulp of Western Region strong liquor, feeling the spicy liquid flow down his throat and turn into a ball of fire.

Turning the corner of the long street, the towering and solemn landmark white marble archway of the Imperial Academy came into view.

However, the entrance of the Imperial Academy today lacked the usual academic atmosphere of resounding reading sounds and weaving students.

Instead, it exuded an extremely eerie and suffocating silence!

Hundreds of Imperial Academy Disciples wearing green school uniforms, as well as dozens of Imperial Academy instructors wearing robes of various colors, were all packed densely on the square outside the archway at this moment.

Everyone's face was livid, fists clenched tight, and their eyes were filled with anger, frustration, and a deep sense of powerlessness.

And directly opposite this crowd of thousands, in front of the white marble gate of the Imperial Academy, which symbolized the highest academic hall of the Yankang Kingdom, a young Daoist was sitting extremely arrogantly!

This young Daoist looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old, with red lips and white teeth, and a face like jade.

He was dressed in an immaculate cyan Daoist robe, with his hair tied in a Daoist bun.

A simple three-foot-long blue sword, along with its ancient wooden scabbard, was placed extremely casually across his knees.

He just sat there with his eyes closed, cross-legged in the center of the main gate of the Imperial Academy.

One person, one sword, yet it seemed to have turned into an insurmountable chasm, blocking all the Prodigies of the reformist faction of the entire Yankang Kingdom outside the door!

Around the young Daoist lay seven or eight youths wearing Imperial Academy attire, scattered about.

These people were all renowned Geniuses in the Imperial Academy, and among them were even two Divine Treasury Realm instructors who taught swordsmanship!

But at this moment, they were all clutching their chests or wrists, their swords even precisely cut into two pieces, lying on the ground with ashen faces.

"Dao Sect, Lin Xuan."

The young Daoist slowly opened his eyes; there was no emotional fluctuation in those clear eyes, as if he were an extremely precise deductive instrument.

He scanned the angry crowd of the Imperial Academy, his voice flat without any ups and downs:

"Acting on my master's orders, I have come down from the mountain into the world. I heard that the Yankang Imperial Academy is the source of the world's reform and gathers talents from all over, so I have come specifically to ask for guidance."

Lin Xuan cupped his hands in an extremely rigid manner, then placed his palm on the sword scabbard.

An extremely sharp, extremely pure Dao Sect Sword Intent instantly soared into the sky, forcing the Imperial Academy Disciples in the front row to retreat repeatedly!

"I will seal the gate of this Imperial Academy for now."

"Within the same realm, if no one in the Imperial Academy can withstand the Dao Sword in my hand, then this Yankang reform, the so-called New Learning, is just a joke. Everyone, you had better disperse early and go back to your hometowns to farm."

Arrogant!

Extremely, utterly arrogant!

One person, one sword, blocking the gate of a nation's highest institution of learning, calling the New Learning reform they were so proud of a joke!

"This is too bullying! I will meet you!"

A sharp Disciple from the Imperial Academy's Sword Dao Institute had eyes spitting fire, roared, drew the long sword from his waist, and turned into a thunderbolt, stabbing straight at Lin Xuan's face!

"Your sword has too many flaws. The force is dispersed at three inches and seven parts, and the angle is off by a hair."

Lin Xuan did not even stand up; he remained sitting cross-legged on the ground, and the ancient wooden long sword in his hand, scabbard and all, flicked upward extremely casually.

"Clang!"

There was no extremely gorgeous sword light, only an absolute trajectory that strictly conformed to the principles of heaven and earth, having undergone extremely rigorous mathematical deduction!

The scabbard hit the weakest part of the Imperial Academy Disciple's sword spine with precise accuracy. With a "crack" sound, the refined steel long sword shattered inch by inch!

Lin Xuan took advantage of the momentum to turn the scabbard and lightly tapped the Disciple's chest.

"Pfft!"

The elite Disciple was struck as if by lightning, spitting out blood wildly, flying backward, and crashing into the crowd.

One move!

Another one-move kill!

The whole scene was dead silent! All the Imperial Academy instructors and Disciples felt a deep sense of despair rising from the bottom of their hearts.

This Daoist Prodigy named Lin Xuan, his swordsmanship was too terrifying!

That was not a Mortal's sword; it was a "Dao Sword" that had undergone countless deductions, had no superfluous movements, and was absolutely rational!

Under his sword, any Spell or sword move of the Imperial Academy was like a sieve full of holes!

"Is the Imperial Academy only at this level?"

Lin Xuan shook his head, a flash of extremely obvious disappointment appearing in his eyes.

He placed the scabbard back across his knees and closed his eyes again: "It seems that today, no one will be able to enter this door."

Just as the entire Imperial Academy was silent, and even Grand Libationer Jiang Baigui was too embarrassed to lower his old face to bully a junior, sweating profusely with anxiety, from the outskirts of the crowd, a sound of yawning suddenly came, extremely discordant, carrying three parts laziness and a thick air of having just woken up.

"Yawn—"

"Make way, everyone make way."

"It's early in the morning, why aren't you going in for morning reading instead of crowding at the door to watch a monkey show?"

"This Guest Elder is on his first day of taking office. If I'm late, who among you will take responsibility?"

This extremely impatient voice sounded particularly harsh in the dead-silent square.

Everyone looked back in astonishment.

They saw the crowd being forcibly parted by an extremely domineering, invisible force, like Moses parting the sea.

A youth dressed in white, so handsome he did not look like a Mortal, holding a purple-red wine gourd in his hand, was walking over unsteadily.

It was none other than Ye Xiu, who had just arrived!

"It's... it's that Grand Guest Elder!"

"Wine Sword Immortal, Cult Leader Ye! He's here!"

In the Imperial Academy crowd, those who had witnessed Ye Xiu's methods at the martial arts field yesterday instantly erupted into extremely excited cheers, as if they had seen a savior.

Ye Xiu could not be bothered to pay attention to the cheers around him; he swaggered through the crowd and walked to the front of the Imperial Academy's gate.

He lowered his head, and his extremely demonic heterochromatic gold and silver eyes looked at the broken swords and wounded people all over the ground, then looked at the Daoist Prodigy Lin Xuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the center of the gate, blocking everyone's way.

"Little brat."

Ye Xiu curled his lips in extreme disgust, picked up the wine gourd, took a gulp of wine, and spat out six words extremely rudely:

"A good dog doesn't block the way. Get lost."

"Hum!"

As soon as these six words were spoken, not only were all the Imperial Academy Disciples dumbfounded, even the Daoist Prodigy Lin Xuan, who had been resting with his eyes closed and his heart like still water, suddenly opened his eyes!

He was hailed as a peerless Prodigy in the Dao Sect, rarely seen in a hundred years.

Since coming down from the mountain, whoever saw him had to respectfully call him "Daoist Prodigy".

He used the Dao Sword to block the gate, which was originally a fair and square academic and doctrinal dispute.

But this white-clad madman reeking of alcohol in front of him had not even looked at his sword properly and had directly called him a dog blocking the way?!

What an insult!

"Your Excellency, who are you?"
