________
After exiting the Azure Dragon Eye Tower, Ye Feng decided to go to the academy library to search for a suitable saint weapon condensing method for himself in order to start condensing his own saint weapon and to breakthrough into the saint master realm.
Teacher Li said in the class today that the library had many different saint weapon condensing methods, and he advised his students to search for suitable methods for themselves in order to succeed in condensing their saint weapons.
Ye Feng decided to listen to Teacher Li's advice and go to the library.
Ye Feng doesn't want to waste anymore time; he wants to start condensing his saint weapon as soon as possible to breakthrough into the saint master realm. He only needs to absorb a little energy to start condensing his saint weapon.
Even if he failed to breakthrough into the saint master realm on his first attempt, he could try to breakthrough again and again later on.
It's all thanks to the prize he won when he became the champion of the freshman competition, the rank-three monster core.
The rank-three monster core contained so much energy, and he was sure he would be able to breakthrough into the saint master realm with its assistant.
_______
While Ye Feng was walking to the library, he saw Fu smirking while slowly and calmly walking towards him. Ye Feng tilted his head in confusion when he saw Fu coming towards him while smirking at the same time.
He thought to himself, "Has something good happened to him? Why he is smirking like that? Well, it doesn't matter; it is not my business anyway.".
Fu stopped in front of Ye Feng and pointed his finger at him while he kept smirking. " I challenge you to a fight right here, and right now, let's go."
Ye Feng tilted his head in confusion. "Ha? Why should I fight you? and why do you want to fight me anyway?" Ye Feng asked Fu in a lazy manner, and Fu almost fell to the ground when he heard Ye Feng's lazy tone.
Fu started yelling at Ye Feng in disbelief, "Where is your pride, man? You are the champion of the freshmen competition, and if I want to become stronger, I need to fight those who are stronger than me; moreover, you are definitely stronger than me. After all, you have reached the second level of the pagoda; on the other hand, I got defeated in the first level of the pagoda.".
Ye Feng smiled in amusement and nodded. "Fine, you have a point; let's go to one of the fighting arenas, and we will fight there."
Fu smiled widely and yelled, "Yeah, that the spirit let's go." Then both Ye Feng and Fu started walking to one of the fighting arenas in the academy.
_________
In The Fighting Arena
Fu and Ye Feng stood across from each other in one of the fighting arenas around the academy. Many students who were nearby recognised Ye Feng and Fu right away, and when they noticed that they were about to fight, they became very eager to watch the battle.
They start betting with each other on who is going to win. Many students bet on Ye Feng, but some students bet on Fu.
Several students started spreading the news about the fight between Ye Feng, the champion of the freshmen competition, and Fu, who ranked third in the freshmen competition, all around the academy.
The news about the fight spread throughout the academy like wildfire.
Many students came as fast as they could to watch the fight as soon as they heard the news.
Even Ye Long and his two friends came quickly when they heard about the fight that was going to take place in one of the fighting arenas.
Among the students who came to watch the fight was Zhang Wei, who was waiting patiently for the fight to start and thought to himself, "Show me if you really deserve the champion title of the freshmen competition or if you were just lucky when you won the competition.".
Some of the academy staff also got interested when they heard the news, so they decided to come and see the fight between Ye Feng and Fu.
However, no one noticed that someone was standing in the sky, and the wind was blowing heavily all around him. He was waiting patiently for the fight to start; it was the academy headmaster.
______
Fu looked at Ye Feng in excitement; he was very eager to do battle against Ye Feng. Fu then asked Ye Feng while he was stretching his body in preparation for the fight, "So how are we going to do this?" Ye Feng smiled at Fu and said, " simple, we haven't condensed our saint weapons yet, so we will fight using our fists in hand-to-hand combat." Fu gave a wide smirk to Ye Feng and nodded.
Fu rushed at Ye Feng without any hesitation and started throwing punches and kicks at him. Ye Feng dodged some of Fu's strikes and blocked the rest of Fu's attacks. Every time Ye Feng blocks a punch or a kick, he slides backward a foot or two from the force behind those strikes.
Ye Feng decided to coat his arms with his saint force, like he did with the sword when he was fighting in the pagoda against the puppets. A bright blue cloud coated both Ye Feng's arms, and he started blocking Fu's strikes completely and easily without any difficulties at all. He wasn't sliding backward from the force behind Fu's strikes, like before. Because he was neutralising the force behind Fu's strikes completely with his saint force that coated his arms.
Fu got very frustrated at how easily Ye Feng was blocking all his strikes, and so he started throwing punches and kicks as fast as he could; his strikes were faster than before. Also, the force behind Fu's strikes was more powerful. However, Ye Feng kept blocking Fu's strikes effortlessly, like before.
__________
All the students who were watching were surprised at how the fight was one-sided. No matter how Fu attacked, Ye Feng easily blocked all his strikes effortlessly.
Zhang Wei clenched his fist when he saw Ye Feng's talent and strength, but he kept watching the battle without blinking.
The academy staff were impressed by Ye Feng's talent and the way he applied his saint force to neutralise Fu's advantage of being born with innate strength.
The headmaster watched calmly from the sky and nodded with satisfaction at Ye Feng's performance. He expected this from Ye Feng; after all, he was aware of how talented Ye Feng really is.
________
Ye Feng smiled and then started dancing around Fu by using his impressive footwork. He was moving with incredible speed and agility. He then started throwing punches at Fu from every direction. Fu was too slow to defend himself, and he fell to the ground harshly from Ye Feng's fast and unpredictable strikes.

The students eyes widened in shock when they saw this even Zhang Wei was shocked. The academy staff were getting more impressed with talent that Ye Feng showing them.
The academy headmaster chuckled. "He is using the experience he gained in the pagoda and applying it here, ,incredible."
_______
Ye Feng then put some distance between himself and Fu. He then thought, "Father always tells me I need to be one with the sword; the sword must be part of my body." Then he smiled when an idea flashed in his mind: "How about I use my right arm like a sword?" He smiled at the idea he came up with, and he took the stance that he usually takes when he is wielding a sword.
Fu started to stand up after Ye Feng took his sword stance. Blood was leaking from the corner of Fu's mouth. Fu spit some blood into the arena ground and rubbed off the blood from the corner of his mouth.
_________
All those who were watching were confused as to why Ye Feng changed his stance but they didn't said anything and kept watching the fight.
The headmaster smiled at the sword stance that Ye Feng took; he wanted to see what he was planning to do.
_______
Fu charged at Ye Feng again and started throwing punches and kicks at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng coated his right arm with saint force and started using his right arm like a sword to parry all Fu's punches, then he began countering Fu's strikes. Whenever he finds an opening to use, He thrusts or swings his right arm like a sword and strikes Fu.
Fu got hit many times, and he fell to the ground countless times. He also spat blood on the ground many times, but he kept standing up again and again, never giving up.

Ye Feng smiled at Fu and said, "You really are impressive; you earned my respect, but now it is time we finish this fight."
Ye Feng then started dancing around Fu again, but this time instead of throwing punches, he swung his coated arm at Fu, hitting him multiple times, then he chopped Fu on the back of his nick.
Fu fell to the ground unconscious after Ye Feng chopped the back of his nick. The crowd erupted into an uproar and cheered Ye Feng for his victory in this fight. Ye Feng gave them a small smile.
_______
One of the academy staff jumped and landed on the fighting arena. He smiled at Ye Feng and said, "That was an impressive fight; no wonder you reached the second level of the pagoda, kid. Let me introduce myself. My name is Yun Han, and I am one of the instructors in the academy."
Yun Han looked like a man in his thirties. He had a slim, muscular body, long blond hair tied in a ponytail, green eyes, and a fair complexion. He was five feet tall and wearing the academy instructors robe.
"I can see that you have a lot of talent with the sword; if you need any advice in swordsmanship in the future, look for me." Yun Han said to Ye Feng while smiling.
Ye Feng smiled at Yun Han and cupped his fist. "Thank you, instructor Yun. I will keep your offer in mind." Instructor Yun nodded in satisfaction. He picked up Fu and carried him to the medical bay.

A lot of students then surrounded Ye Feng, including Ye Long and his friends. They started talking to Ye Feng and congratulating him on his victory. Ye Feng smiled at them and bid them farewell after some small talk. He then headed to the academy library.
Zhang Wei narrowed his eyes at Ye Feng from where he was standing and then turned around to leave too.
The academy headmaster smiled at Ye Feng from the sky, then he flew with his wind towards the medical bay. He thought to himself, "Interesting fight. I think I will offer Fu to become my disciple. He might not be as talented as Ye Feng, but he had an incredible heart." He chuckled to himself and continued flying.
________
The Academy Library
Ye Feng entered the library and saw some students were reading books with other students. He also noticed an old man sitting on the desk, reading an old scroll. The old man had many wrinkles on his face, a bold head, and a long grey beard.
Ye Feng walked towards the old man. The old man raised his head when he saw Ye Feng and asked with a smile, "How can I help you, young one?"
Ye Feng cupped his fist and said, "Elder, I'm looking for saint weapon condensing methods. Teacher Li told us in the class today that the library had many saint weapon condensing methods. Can you help me, Elder?"
The old man smiled and turned his head to a beautiful girl who was browsing the bookshelves nearby. "Little Rou, would you mind helping this young man?"
The girl turned to the old man, looked at Ye Feng, and smiled at him. Ye Feng was mesmerised by her beauty. The girl nodded to the elder and said, "Sure thing, grandfather." Rou smiled at Ye Feng and said, "Please follow me." Ye Feng then followed the girl.
_______
The girl was around Ye Feng age; she was extremely beautiful; her beauty could bring down a nation to its knees. She has long blond hair that reaches to her back; her hair falls like a waterfall; she has cherry-like lips; an exquisite nose; eyebrows; eyelashes; and nick. Her face is so elegant, like it was from a painting; she has plump, round breasts, a slender waist, and long, slender legs too. Her skin looks so soft, like a sulk. Her academy uniform can't cover her curvy, feminine body completely.
Ye Feng followed Rou, and he told her that he was looking for methods to condense his saint weapon. She nodded at him, and they arrived in front of a bookshelf, and she said to Ye Feng, "You will find all saint weapon condensing methods on this bookshelf. Good luck." Ye Feng smiled at her and thanked her, and after she left, Ye Feng started browsing through the bookshelf.
_________
Ye Feng found many different methods while browsing through the bookshelf, like the slow method, the method that Li Cheng used to condense his saint weapon, the compressing method, the heavy method, the controlling method, and many more methods. There were so many methods to choose from, but Ye Feng was interested in only three methods. Those methods were the slow method, the soul method, and the bending method.
Ye Feng took the three books containing the soul method, the slow method, and the bending method, then he went to an empty reading desk and sat there to start reading and memorising those methods.
_____
In order to use the soul method, the cultivator must have a strong soul. By using the power of the soul, the cultivator can control the saint force in their body and condense it into a saint weapon.
In the bending method, the cultivator needs to control the saint force inside of them before bending the saint force in a special way to shape it into a saint weapon.
The slow method requires the cultivator to slowly control, contain, shape, compress, and condense the saint weapon.
Ye Feng memorised everything in the three books. After memorising the three books, he left the library and went back to his dwelling.
________
In Ye Feng Dwelling
Ye Feng sat in a lotus position and closed his eyes. He decided to use the soul method to condense his saint weapon and breakthrough into the saint master realm. He took the rank-three monster core in preparation for his breakthrough.
Ye Feng started absorbing little energy from the rank-three monster core until he almost breached the barrier between the saint force realm and the saint master realm. Ye Feng took a deep breath and thought, "Now I hope I can successfully breakthrough on my first try." Ye Feng then started absorbing a little more energy from the rank-three monster core until he breached the barrier.
A strong aura filled the room the aura was a sign that the breakthrough into the saint master realm is taking place . Ye Feng gritted his teeth and started following the soul method instructions to condense his saint weapon. He began using the power of his soul to control the saint force inside his body. He then started condensing his saint weapon.
Ye Feng started sweating profusely from the stress of using his soul power to control his saint force inside his body, but he didn't give up and kept pushing and using his soul power to condense his saint weapon.
Ye Feng shaped his saint force into the shape of a sword and started compressing his saint force until he finally succeeded in condensing his saint weapon.
After he succeeded in condensing his saint weapon, a strong and unruly aura started coming out of Ye Feng. The aura filled his dwelling. The aura was untamed; it felt like the aura of a beast, ready to bounce on his prey at any moment.
Ye Feng took a deep breath to calm himself, and his aura started to vanish slowly. Ye Feng smiled at his success. He stood up, then summoned his newly condensed saint weapon from his dantian.
Ye Feng's saint weapon was a sword four feet long and two fingers wide. The blade was crimson, like the colour of the blood. The sword doesn't have a guard, and the sword handle is gold in colour and in the shape of an angry dragon.
He decided to give his saint weapon a try. He stored his saint weapon in his dantian, and then he stored his rank-three monster core in his space belt. After that, he exited his dwelling. Ye Feng started looking for an empty training ground to give his saint weapon a try.
_______
Training Ground
After finding an empty training ground, Ye Feng summoned his saint weapon, and he smiled when he held his new sword by the handle and said, "It is perfect." Ye Feng started swinging his sword vertically and horizontally multiple times. He smiled widely and kept swinging his sword. "My saint weapon is perfect." Then he started making combinations by swinging and thrusting his sword in the air.
After Ye Feng finished his little sword combination, he brought his saint weapon in front of his eyes and said to his saint weapon, "What should I name you?" He thought for a second, then smiled when he saw the crimson blood blade and the golden dragon figure on the sword handle, and he said, "I will name you the blood dragon fang. Yes, this is a perfect name. for you.".
Ye Feng then stored the blood dragon fang after naming it and returned it to his dantian then he started walking back to his dwelling.
