  After having the medicinal breakfast provided by the college to nourish his body, Wang Ting did not go back to the classroom this time, but instead went to the library in the college.

  The instructors' teachings, the level they were at, he had already vaguely figured out. Each instructor teaching their students was equivalent to the elders and masters of top sects personally guiding their disciples, passing on their knowledge through words and actions. For an ordinary sword practitioner, such a course would be invaluable, but for Wang Ting, whose actual abilities were not inferior to those of great swordsmen, these courses were no longer of much help.

  Although everyone has their own area of expertise, it is still a rare phenomenon for a senior professor to attend another ordinary professor's lecture.

  Xuanzhong Advanced Swordsman Academy, with a history of over 60 years, although not a century-old school, it can be said to have a rich foundation. The entire library has a vast collection of books, including astronomy and geography, the Four Books and Five Classics, ghost stories, strange people and strange events, and mysterious skills and secret techniques.

  As he already had a certain understanding of the teaching standards in this college, Wang Ting did not go to browse through those cultivation manuals and mysterious techniques, but instead browsed through the geography, history, and famous legends of this world.

  Through these books he has come to realize that the Taixuan Kingdom where he lives is one of the ASEAN member states.

  The entire ASEAN, consisting of sixteen member states, is one of the most powerful forces in the limited area known to people, forming a tripod situation with the ancient Snowy Empire in the north and the emerging Western Xis Empire in the west.

  The establishment of ASEAN was the era when the great sword emperor descended, formed by hundreds of sword saints from 16 member states. That era was also the most prosperous period of ASEAN, even the mainland overlord, the world's number one power Snowy Empire, before the arrival of the Divine Era, was pulled down from the throne of the mainland overlord by ASEAN and the Western Empire, that was the most glorious years of ASEAN, known as the Hundred Saints Chorus!

  However, now that the tasks issued by the Lord of the Divine Sword in the Temple have become increasingly scarce, the era of the Hundred Saints is gradually fading away, and the glorious history no longer exists. The current sixteen countries of the Eastern Alliance are already unstable, although they have not yet faced a crisis of disintegration, but the trust and unity between them are far from what they used to be. Occasionally, due to some intense friction, small-scale armed conflicts will still break out.

  Wang Ting glanced at it for a moment, and as for the general history of the continent, he just understood it. He didn't go into details, but instead put more effort into books introducing heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

  Fortunately, although it is two worlds, the names of blood-tonifying medicinal materials such as Wild Mountain Ginseng and He Shou Wu have not changed. On the other hand, it is inevitable that people feel the mysteriousness of the evolution of the two realms. However, in addition to mountain ginseng, he shou wu, and angelica sinensis, which are blood-tonifying medicinal materials, there are many heavenly treasures that Wang Ting has never heard of or seen before, and their effects are far superior to those of mountain ginseng and he shou wu.

  Like the Blood Lotus, Linglong Fruit, Red Jade Fruit, Dragon Fruit, Jiuyang Longxue Flower, Rongquan Milk and other things, each one, as long as it is mature, can provide great help to cultivators. If Wang Ting had a Blood Lotus in his hand at this moment, he wouldn't need to struggle like now, condensing his body and refining his blood. With just three to five of them, he could immediately cultivate to the peak of martial arts, and further refine his internal energy, which would be effortless.

  "Closing the door to make a cart, after all, is a slow process. The ancients once said, 'Read ten thousand volumes of books and travel ten thousand miles.' It seems that after dealing with Gong Sun's matter, I should go out into the world for a walk."

  With a thought, Wang Ting put down the book that introduced the heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and picked up a book that introduced the dangerous and ominous places within the Tai Xuan dynasty.

  This world is vast and sparsely populated, with a population of 200 million in the entire Tai Xuan dynasty, and another fifteen countries on the periphery of the Eastern Union. However, what occupies most of this world are still endless desolate mountains and wild ridges that fill the outer edges of human survival territories.

  These desolate mountains and wild ridges, where human footprints are rarely seen, have given birth to a large number of heavenly treasures and earthly gems. At the same time, they have also bred many ferocious beasts and fierce birds. Some wolves, tigers, lions, bears, and leopards are still manageable, but the key is those ferocious beasts that have swallowed heavenly treasures and earthly gems, undergone mutation and evolution, and made a leap in their life ranks.

  In the divine temple built by the Lord of the Divine Sword, ordinary fierce beasts are on par with formal swordsmen. However, relying on their unique advantages and powerful physique, not to mention formal swordsmen, even a mid-tier swordsman may not be able to defeat an ordinary fierce beast in a one-on-one situation. And above ordinary fierce beasts, there are mid-tier fierce beasts, high-tier fierce beasts, and the Fierce Beast Lord that reigns supreme. Such a Fierce Beast Lord is enough to make even a Sword Dao Master change color with fear.

  What's even more terrifying is that in every pack of ferocious beasts, a king may be born. They are the true rulers, emerging from the bloody battles with their own kind, possessing not only frightening ferocity and terror, but also exceptional group combat awareness. These beast kings are so powerful that even mid-level swordsmen would avoid them, and in terms of rank, they are the strongest creatures below the Heavenly Sacred Beasts.

  "This world, despite the arrival of the divine sword-wielding ruler, has made a great leap forward for human civilization, but still hasn't conquered all of nature. At least it hasn't wiped out wild beasts, ferocious beasts and fierce beasts like that other world did, leaving only those that survived to be locked up in zoos for people to gawk at."

  Wang Ting made a mental note of some treacherous and dangerous places.

  Now he has entered these desperate places and may only have a dead end, but in the future when his strength is up, these places will definitely be walked alone.

  Time flew by in this state of intense focus.

  While Wang Ting was reading these books, the fact that he had defeated two formal swordsmen in the cafeteria had quietly spread, although not to the point of spreading throughout the entire college, but it still caught the attention of countless people.

  A student who has been enrolled for less than five days, surprisingly defeated the two formal swordsmen, Wang Zibu and Luo Hua. This is a strange phenomenon in itself. For a time, many students began to consciously inquire about this student named Wang Ting, wondering what kind of extraordinary person he was. At the same time, they couldn't help but look forward to his next battle with Gong Sunmo.

  Rumors spread outside, but they had no impact on Wang Ting.

  He spent the remaining two days in the library, constantly absorbing the knowledge contained within.

  Coming from a world of advanced technology and information explosion, he deeply understands that knowledge is power. A most ordinary wild beast may possess enormous toxins within its body, capable of making a great sword master's soul fly away. Even the strongest sword master will face an untreatable fate of poisoning if they accidentally enter a region shrouded in toxic miasma.

  Going out for training, his true opponents, apart from extremely powerful fierce beasts, also include the entire natural world.

  ……

  The two days passed quickly in this kind of learning.

  On the third day, Wang Ting was still summarizing what he had learned in the library when a young man's voice echoed outside his dormitory: "Wang Ting, are you there? Come out quickly, it's time for the duel. If you want to back down now, it's too late. Don't be like a turtle hiding its head and dragging things on. Let's go! Do you want to make Gong Sun Zixian wait?"

  Early in the morning, he was called to a decisive battle by his disciples. It seems that Wang Ting's easy victory over Wang Zi and Luo Hua three days ago has made him feel threatened, and he is eager to strangle this threat in its cradle.

  Su Ke was not in the dormitory.

  Even if he was there, he wouldn't offend Gong Sun Su, a renowned core seed student in the academy, for a roommate he had known for less than a few days.

  But Wang Ting didn't care, after a moment, he took nothing with him, directly grasping the sword in his hand, and went out of the dormitory.

  Outside the dormitory, three people were already waiting there, and without exception, they were all formal swordsmen-level core students.

  The fact that he can attract so many core students has already fully proven Gong Sun's influence in the Xuanji High-level Swordsmen Academy.

  Of course, this influence does not come from his strength as a mid-tier swordsman, but rather from his father Gong Sun Fang Yu and the Gong Sun family behind him. Having learned literature, martial arts, and commerce, they have connections with imperial families. In this world, there are absolutely many formal swordsmen who want to cling to the powerful and wealthy. Even some great masters of the sword cannot resist the temptation of wealth, honor, and noble titles, and thus surrender themselves to the imperial court.

  "I thought I'd have to hide in there and be a turtle forever? Luckily, I finally managed to crawl out of that doghouse?"

  Seeing Wang Ting walk out of the dormitory, the leader of the three, a formal swordsman, nodded his head slightly, with an air of superiority.

  Wang Ting looked at this young man for a while before speaking: "Is it your own idea, or was it ordered by Gong Sun Zan?"

  "What? Don't talk nonsense!"

  When Wang Ting inexplicably said these words, a hint of panic was evident in the eyes of this young man.

  "Is that so? Such a Gong Sun Zan would only make me look down on him even more."

  "How dare you! Can the status of Gong Sun's noble family be slandered? A lowly commoner, how dare you rashly discuss the wrongs of Gong Sun's noble family? Kneel down and apologize to me at once!"

  The young swordsman in front let out a stern cry, with a fierce glint in his eyes.

  "Right, kneel down and apologize!"

  The other two swordsmen also took a step forward suddenly, instantly forming an encirclement with the young swordsman against Wang Ting.

  "Provoking me, giving us a reason to strike, indirectly weakening my strength? So as to ensure Gong Sun's victory?"

  Wang Ting's gaze swept over the three people in the room, his tone slightly sinking.

  Although these three people are all core disciples with formal swordsman strength.

  "What's going on with you guys?"

  As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Ting's body moved instantly.

  Draw your sword!

  Draw your sword!
