Chapter 95

The Sword Polishing Hall is a first-class martial arts testing venue of the Third Academy, exclusively used for cultivation tests, promotion evaluations, and martial arts competitions. Normally, only instructors are allowed to enter, and students are generally prohibited from entering.

Lin Beichen and Yue Hongxiang arrived at the entrance of the venue, where a young female instructor in her early twenties had already come forward to greet them.

The female instructor had an average appearance but fair skin and a curvaceous figure. She was still single, and her eyes scanned Lin Beichen several times, her gaze bright and enthusiastic. "Classmate Lin, the three deans are already waiting inside the venue. Please follow me quickly."

Yue Hongxiang was ignored.

However, she was no longer surprised by this.

In recent days, Lin Beichen's charm towards women had begun to show in the campus.

Like this instructor and the previous library intern, they would light up with excitement upon seeing Lin Beichen, as if they had seen their own handsome younger brother, showing an extraordinary level of enthusiasm. If even the instructors were like this, one could imagine how疯狂 the female students would be.

Yue Hongxiang had the most frequent and closest interactions with Lin Beichen.

She approached him purely as a friend, with admiration and praise.

Occasionally, when her mind wandered, she couldn't help but think about the "commoner princess" Mu Xinyue, who had abandoned such an excellent and handsome boyfriend like Lin Beichen. What must her mindset be like now?

She must be regretting it so much that she wishes she could hang herself.

Inside the Sword Polishing Hall, the atmosphere was calm and solemn.

As soon as Lin Beichen and Yue Hongxiang entered, they immediately attracted the attention of dozens of people.

In addition to the second-year dean, Chu Hen, there were also the third-year dean, Pan Weimin, and the first-year dean, Liu Qihai, waiting in the hall.

These three were the current top figures of the Third Academy, known for their dedication and hard work, thus earning them high respect.

There were also ten senior instructors from various grades, all of whom were highly accomplished and well-known in the Yunmeng City education community.

Additionally, there were two students.

One was Han Bufu, the top genius of the third year.

The other was Bai Qin Yun, the top genius of the first year.

Including Lin Beichen and Yue Hongxiang, these four were the four geniuses of the Third Academy who had qualified for the Yunmeng City Talent Competition.

The four stood in a row.

Lin Beichen took a closer look at Han Bufu and Bai Qin Yun.

The former

(This chapter is not yet complete, please turn the page)

was a slender young man with a long, narrow face, arched eyebrows, narrow eyes, thin lips, and a high nose bridge. His eyebrows were always furrowed, as if he had something troubling him.

The latter was a young girl in a white swordsman's uniform, with a flawless oval face and a hint of baby fat due to her age. Her features were extremely delicate, and her long wine-red hair, whether natural or dyed, made her a rare beauty. Her demeanor was cold, giving off a distant and aloof aura, but combined with her flawless appearance, she was enough to make many people's hearts race.

"Today, the three deans are here, personally organizing a specialized team to conduct a precise and comprehensive test of your current strength. This will help us provide the best possible special training to maximize your combat capabilities."

An elderly instructor with white hair and a kind face but a serious expression said.

He continued, "This is an opportunity that other students can only envy but cannot obtain, so you must seize it. Don't have any psychological burdens; just show your full strength. The test will be divided into several parts..."

As the elderly instructor explained, the four of them gradually understood.

Clearly, this test would be much more detailed and complex than the mid-year competition.

Just the spiritual energy test alone was divided into ten categories: spiritual energy intensity, frequency, circulation time, fluctuation peaks, recovery speed, and endurance.

In addition to the spiritual energy test, there were also physical tests, mental tests, sword technique tests, comprehension tests, and perseverance tests.

It was as detailed as a medical examination.

After listening to the introduction, Lin Beichen felt eager to try.

Having a clear understanding and assessment of his current strength was something he had always wanted to do, and this test would be a good opportunity to achieve that.

As for whether to hold back any trump cards, he would decide during the test.

"Four of you, you are the pride of the Third Academy and our hope. Whether the Third Academy can regain its former glory depends on you."

Chu Hen said with great anticipation.

The other two deans also said similar encouraging words.

"Prepare, the test will begin. Bai Qin Yun, you go first..."

Before the elderly instructor could finish speaking, another voice interrupted.

"Wait a moment."

A handsome blond teenager slowly walked into the venue.

Behind him, in addition to the Sword Polishing Hall's guard instructor, were two officials from the Yunmeng City Education Bureau.

One of them was Li Qingxuan, the "Iron-Faced Tongue."

Li Qingxuan's face was somewhat gloomy, clearly in a bad mood, but he still introduced the newcomer. "Deans Pan, Chu, and Liu, this is Cao Potian from Baiyun City, sent by his master, the great swordsman Bai Haiqin, to deliver a challenge for a sword duel."

Cao Potian?

Lin Beichen's heart stirred, and his gaze immediately focused on the blond teenager.

The other party looked to be about sixteen or seventeen years old, wearing a white robe, with a tall and straight figure. Besides his handsome appearance, he exuded a strong aura of confidence and superiority, making him unforgettable at first glance, a rare and exceptional figure.

Is this the sword genius who was cultivated by Instructor Ding but betrayed him?

Lin Beichen thought to himself.

At that moment, Cao Potian's gaze also fell on Lin Beichen.

Lin Beichen's eyes immediately narrowed.

This instinctive action was like a wild animal's reaction when encountering a strong enemy.

He had a strange feeling.

Cao Potian's gaze was filled with unhidden hostility, as if they had a deep-seated grudge. Lin Beichen believed that if Chu Hen and the others were not there, Cao Potian would have drawn his sword and killed him in an instant.

The next moment, Cao Potian withdrew his gaze.

"Ha ha, I came uninvited, I hope the three deans will not be offended."

The blond teenager's face carried a faint sense of superiority as he spoke casually.

The three top figures, Chu Hen and the others, exchanged a few pleasantries with him.

As a genius from Baiyun City and a disciple of one of the three famous swordsmen, Bai Haiqin, Cao Potian's status was not low.

However, due to the incident from the past, Cao Potian did not leave a good impression on the three deans of the Third Academy, so their attitude was not particularly warm.

Cao Potian was not bothered by this and continued, "I heard that the Third Academy has four geniuses entering the main competition this time, setting a new historical record. Ha ha, so I came specially to see if there are any true geniuses worthy of a challenge for a sword duel."
