43: Not only is he awesome, but he's also a monstrous genius in red! Xu Tian, ​​the red-clad warrior!

"Are you in the habit of staring at people like this?" Xuanyuan Baiying felt uncomfortable under his penetrating gaze and couldn't help but lightly snort.

"My apologies, I was momentarily lost in thought." Cao Meng smiled, pointing at the two swords tucked into her waist, and said:

"That, how many layers of the Dao of the Sword have you reached?"

"Dao of the Sword?" Xuanyuan Baiying smiled faintly.

"My swordsmanship is not good."

"Junior Brother, although Xuanyuan carries two swords, she never uses swordsmanship." Qing Luan said from the side.

"She doesn't use a sword?" Cao Meng sneered internally. With her Saint Spirit Sword Physique talent, she is the natural darling of the Dao of the Sword, yet she tells him she doesn't understand swordsmanship.

Unexpectedly, this convenient fiancée was actually a follower of the Hidden Dao, not only concealing her Cultivation as a Land Immortal but also hiding her Dao of the Sword.

Truly powerful yet stable.

Not far away, ever since Xuanyuan Baiying descended from the sky, the attention of the surrounding Disciples had not left this area for a moment.

Perhaps Xuanyuan Baiying's brilliance made them feel ashamed of their own inferiority, so no one dared to approach.

However, Cao Meng certainly felt the envious and jealous gazes they cast.

Especially when seeing Cao Meng and Xuanyuan Baiying chatting and laughing, Cao Meng even sensed several chilling murderous intents.

Furthermore, two of those intents came from female Disciples.

Looking at the men's white robe on Xuanyuan Baiying, and then looking at the stars in the eyes of a few pretty Junior Sisters.

Cao Meng only wanted to say one thingwhat a sin!

On the observation platform, several Deans and Elders had returned to their seats, but their attention remained fixed on Xuanyuan Baiying.

"Junior Sister Xuanyuan, is Xuanyuan Baiying on very good terms with this Cao Meng?" Void Sword Walker, clad in a white robe, sat in the main seat, his expression gloomy; it was clear he was not in a good mood.

"I haven't heard of it." Xuanyuan Baizhi shook her head and said in a deep voice:

"Senior Brother, as you know, the northern and southern branches of my Xuanyuan Family are not exactly harmonious, so I am not very knowledgeable about the affairs of the southern branch."

"Oh, I see." Void Sword Walker nodded, then looked at the empty seat beside him.

"It seems Junior Sister Wu won't be coming. Shall we start then?"

"Everything is up to Dean Senior Brother!"

"Everything is up to the Dean." The Elders said in unison.

"Good~"

Void Sword Walker nodded, stood up, and approached the front of the platform.

"Silence!"

Void Sword Walker's voice was not loud, but when it fell into everyone's ears, it was like the sound of morning bells and evening drums, lingering for a long time.

"Today is the White Deer Academy's triennial Dao Trial Assembly, and also the preliminary selection for the Nine Kingdoms Qingyun Dao Trial Assembly."

"Everyone is already clear on the rules."

"What I need to emphasize is that the winner of this internal Dao Trial Assembly will have the opportunity to enter the Li Clan Sword Tomb to observe swords for one month! Moreover~"

The old fellow's voice suddenly deepened, "I have made an agreement with the Li Clan Elder: if any Academy Disciple entering the Sword Tomb this time receives the recognition of a divine sword inside the Tomb, they may take that divine sword away!"

"What!"

"Damn, since when were the Li Clan remnants so generous? They are actually willing to let people take a divine sword away..."

"Exactly! In the past, the Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters who entered the Sword Tomb to observe swords were not allowed to take a divine sword away even if they received its recognition. Why are they so willing this time?"

With one sentence from Void Sword Walker, the atmosphere of the entire training grounds instantly became lively.

Most Disciples of the White Deer Academy are sword Cultivators. The famous swords and divine swords in the Li Clan Sword Tomb were left behind by ancient ruins, carrying the Sword Intent Legacy of Senior masters, and many divine swords are nearly sentient.

If one can receive the recognition of a divine sword, their strength will inevitably soar, and it will be extremely beneficial for their future Dao of the Sword Cultivation.

"Everyone! For a hundred years, my White Deer Academy has always been the champion of the Qingyun Dao Trial Assembly, and nearly forty percent of the Disciples on the outstanding heroes ranking were Disciples of my Academy. However, in the last session, the number of people from my White Deer Academy who made the ranking ended up at the bottom."

"A disgrace!"

"This is the disgrace of my White Deer Academy, it is my disgrace, and it is even more so your disgrace!"

"As the saying goes, shame drives courage. I hope everyone strives hard!"

"I announce, the Dao Trial Assembly begins!"

As his voice fell, Elders soared into the air from the observation platform, arriving at the arenas that had been set up long ago.

On the observation platform, the Vice Headmaster, Northern Wei's powerful King Pingshan Yuanchen, said loudly:

"In this Dao Trial Assembly, thirty-four arenas have been set up!"

"Arenas one to four are for Dragon Elephant True Legacy!"

"Arenas five to fourteen are for Golden Core."

"Arenas fifteen to thirty-four are for the Qi Sea Realm!"

"Those interested in participating may now step onto the stage~"

The Academy's Dao Trial Assembly is very simple and direct: defending and attacking the arenas.

The final ranking is determined by which arena one stands on.

"I will say one more thing: in this Dao Trial Assembly, life-and-death battles are permitted, but a life-and-death contract must be signed before the battle." Void Sword Walker's voice suddenly exploded above the training grounds.

Instantly, all the Disciples turned their heads and cast confused looks at him.

In previous Dao Trial Assemblies, Disciples were never allowed to engage in life-and-death battles; to prevent Disciples from losing control during intense fighting and taking an opponent's life, an Elder was even arranged on every arena.

After all, any Disciple brave enough to step onto the stage could be called a Genius, and losing even one would be a setback.

What is wrong with the Dean today?

Why is his killing intent so heavy? Did he perhaps... "What does Void Sword Walker intend to do?" On the observation platform, a trace of confusion appeared on Xuanyuan Baizhi's beautiful face. "Could it be that he wants to..."

"Senior Sister, be careful. This old guy is probably trying to deal with us." Cao Meng whispered to Qing Luan beside him.

"Mhm, I will be careful." Qing Luan nodded. "Junior Brother, don't rush onto the stage yet. Wait until you clearly understand the situation."

Having finished speaking, her graceful figure soared into the air, and with a flash, she was already standing on Arena Number Two.

"You're not going?" Cao Meng turned his head to look at Xuanyuan Baiying, who showed no intention of making a move.

"If no one steps onto the arena, why should I hurry?" Xuanyuan Baiying glanced at Arena Number One.

Looking around, out of the thirty-four arenas, only Arena Number One was completely empty; people had stepped onto all the others.

"Awesome, capital A Awesome~" Even Cao Meng couldn't help but admire her.

This is what is called the undisputed number one.

Others didn't even have the desire or the courage to compete with her.

At this moment, the Junior Sister Nether Pupil, dressed in a fiery red miniskirt and resembling a fire sprite, rushed over in a flurry. Seeing Cao Meng below the stage, she quickly flew over to him:

"Little Junior Brother, why haven't you gone up yet... Ah, Xuanyuan Baiying~"

With a startled cry, the Little Girl "whooshed" behind Cao Meng, looking terrified.

"Little Senior Sister, what is this..." Cao Meng was surprised. This girl usually acted fearless, so why was she so afraid of Xuanyuan Baiying today?

Xuanyuan Baiying glanced at Nether Pupil and said lazily, "Little White Hair, don't worry, I won't hammer you today!"

"Little White Hair?" Cao Meng was stunned. It seemed Xuanyuan Baiying had witnessed Nether Pupil using her Reincarnation Dual Pupils and transforming into a white-haired woman, and had even utterly hammered her while she was in that burst state.

Why does this wife always resort to hammering people?

"I'm afraid of you!" Nether Pupil lightly snorted, stepped forward, and was about to say something when suddenly... "Xu Tian? Why is he..."

Nether Pupil let out another startled cry, as if she had seen a ghost.

Cao Meng turned his head to look and was instantly dumbfounded too.

Is this still that Dog Young Master?

This damn person is a Prodigy~

A fiery red dress, a tall and well-developed figure, a long sword hanging at the waist, long hair hanging down... Is this a man or a woman, after all?

Hearing Junior Sister Nether Pupil's ghost-like shriek, Xu Tian's gaze also turned toward them.

"bitch!" Xu Tian's mouth twitched fiercely twice.

Junior Sister Nether Pupil's ghost-like shriek had clearly become an indelible nightmare in his heart.
