X-Dragon Era

The last to be unsheathed was, of course, the Absolute Immortal Treasure Sword. It chased after Wang Kui, who was already protected by the Guardian Instructor, like a nimble fish, its agility and godlike speed rendering onlookers breathless!

The characteristic of the Absolute Immortal Sword is its flexibility and speed, reminiscent of a fish that could travel thousands of miles in an instant and change direction at any time, twisting and turning like a bolt of lightning, crossing vast expanses of the sky in a flash.

Under the pursuit of the Absolute Immortal Sword, the Guardian Instructor, despite his best efforts to dodge, still couldn't avoid it in time. Once the Absolute Immortal Sword was drawn, it never returned without blood. Only after severing Wang Kui's thighs and drinking its fill of blood did it satisfactorily circle back and fly towards Xin Yun.

"Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!" Amidst four sonorous sounds, four Treasure Swords transformed into streaks of Rainbow Light and one after another returned to the scabbards on Xin Yun's back. With the breeze blowing, Xin Yun stood proudly atop Yinglong, countless Sword Qi howling and erupting from his body, their sharpness deterring any direct gaze!

Seeing this scene, Po Kong stood there excitedly, fists clenched, his body shaking violently. That's right... this was what he most longed for, what suited him the best, the most stylish, the weapon that moved his heart the most. Looking at that dashing form, that cool style, it all made Po Kong itch uncontrollably. In his entire life, he had never wanted something so badly, not even women had ever made him so eager.

With the competition reaching this point, it had come to a complete end. Although it wasn't necessary, the referee still announced that the victor of this match was Xin Yun, who, after claiming victory in the Contest of Champions, successfully ascended to become the Champion of the Third-year Phase!

The so-called Contest of Champions meant that the victor was king and the vanquished was the foe, a challenge that only the Champion could initiate once a year. The loser of the Contest of Champions would be expelled from the academy, while the victor would take the throne of the Champion!

Wang Kui was originally the Champion of the Third-year Phase, therefore, within this year, he had one opportunity to initiate a champion battle, which he now spent on Xin Yun. What he didn't expect was that the battle he thought was a sure win would end in loss, not only losing the throne of Champion but also the chance to continue studying here!

Originally, although Wang Kui had been defeated by Po Kong, he was a man whose ambition soared above the heavens and he never despaired. He kept planning to challenge Po Kong again, even setting a date for a rematch in six months. However, before he could face Po Kong, he encountered Xin Yun and suffered a devastating defeat.

No one could blame him; Wang Kui's strength was unquestionable. If Xin Yun didn't possess the Treasure Sword and the Kongtong Seal, victory would definitely have been Wang Kui's, after all... the gap between them was too large, a full Fourteen Stars. Xin Yun would have had trouble even landing a hit, let alone defeating him.

Having become the Champion of the Third-year Phase, except if faced with Po Kong, wherever Xin Yun went, no one was to hinder him. The incidents of the past, where anyone could surround Xin Yun and Yi Luo Xiang or ostracize Xin Yun, could no longer occur. Should anyone dare to do so, Xin Yun had the right to challenge them, and the loser would be expelled from the academy!

As the referee made the announcement, cheers erupted from all around the arena. Although Wang Kui had always been the Champion, in truth, he wasn't all that popular, even somewhat detested by gods and men alike. Thus, seeing him defeated by Xin Yun, all the students cheered from the bottom of their hearts.

Amidst the cheering, Xin Yun stood calmly atop Yinglong, not leaving immediately but turning his gaze in the direction of Po Kong. His eyes shone with a brilliant light! At the same time... Po Kong stood tall, his eyes beaming as he looked at Xin Yun. In fact, what he was gazing at were the four Treasure Swords behind Xin Yun!

At first, nobody paid much attention, but as some of the more observant and sensitive spectators started to sense something was amiss and took a closer look, the noise from the audience gradually subsided as they watched the scene before them incredulously.

In their eyes, Xin Yun, having defeated Wang Kui, must be brimming with confidence and was trying to seize the chance to challenge Po Kong. For his part, Po Kong seemed quite interested in the challenge—didn't you see how his eyes practically sparkled?

But in fact, their thoughts were nowhere near this. Po Kong was pondering how to acquire these four swords that satisfied him immensely, while Xin Yun was considering what he could trade with Po Kong using these four Treasure Swords.

Should he continue to keep them? No... that was absolutely unthinkable, today's performance with the Absolute Immortal Treasure Sword was too flashy, it could actually slay a master of the Crystal Rank in seconds, which was overly exaggerated. Although Xin Yun knew it was due to Great Mud Dragon being countered, others might not be aware.

Therefore, if he continued to hold these four Treasure Swords, with Xin Yun being a rootless entity, whether he could protect them was one thing, but the endless troubles they would bring were not something he could currently deal with. Not to mention others, just Po Kong alone would be enough trouble for Xin Yun to handle.

Regrettably, Xin Yun had to admit, as the direct heir to the world's foremost family, the next patriarch, anything that Po Kong coveted, there was nothing in this world he couldn't obtain. While it might not be an absolute certainty, it was close enough.
