The artificial mountain that Long Xuan had sliced into the air cracked into several hundred pieces mid-fall. By the time it reached the ground, it had become blocks of stone, each of the same size.
This was none other than the Academy's Supreme Divine Art, the Intersecting Sword Technique.
Originally, the Long Family was determined to secure the position of the Academy Repository Manager, which was why they sent Long Zhi to compete. However, they hadn't expected a mere Divine Emperor Fourfold Realm youth to snatch it away.
"Shall I go investigate this youth named Divine Yang?" Chen Ming, a Core Disciple of the Academy, asked.
Long Xuan nodded, "Go ahead." Then he continued, "But in a few days, it'll be the Academy's trial, and I plan to enter seclusion for a while to see if I can cultivate the Jiuli Sword Canon to the Peak Extreme Realm."
Chen Ming replied, "Brother, you concentrate on your retreat. I will handle matters on the outside."
