  "It's finally over."

  Yi Zhou let out a long sigh from his mouth, and his whole person seemed as if he had just come down from the battlefield.

  He, who had not yet thoroughly shed his martial nature, found these social gatherings to be as exhausting as battles. At this time, he couldn't help but envy his two junior brothers, Cang Youlei and Wang Jiuding. The two of them handled the flattering and fawning of the nobles with ease, responding in kind with perfect courtesy, a picture of mutual delight.

  It seems that as an official, he still has a lot to learn.

  As they thought, a group of people had already arrived at a palace arranged by His Majesty the King himself.

  Cang Long Jian Sheng's title in the Great Xia Kingdom was only that of a duke, but the arrangements made by Hong Yi at this moment were all treated according to the specifications for receiving a king, and it could be said that he had done his best to leave no room for criticism.

  "Haha, Wang Ting, it's only been a few months since we last met, and I didn't expect you to give me such a huge surprise. The number one swordsman of Taixuan, an 18-year-old high-ranking swordsman, actually defeated the great swordsman Leng Dongyang! It looks like entering the Divine Selection Swordsmanship Academy is already a done deal this time."

  "This is certain, didn't Master Brother see the fiery gaze that Yang Jun and Jiang Di, two legendary swordsmen, had when they looked at Wang Tingge?"

  Cang Youlei smiled and said, her gaze towards Wang Ting also had a hint of envy.

  "Alright, alright, Yang Jin and Jiang Di are currently talking to our master, let's just go over there and settle this matter once and for all, let's go!"

  Yi Zhouyi finished speaking and quickly pulled Wang Ting towards the room where their Master, Cang Long Sword Saint, was.

  Beside them, Cang Youlei and Wang Jiuding exchanged a glance, their expressions somewhat helpless, before hastily following after.

  Before long, a group of people had arrived in the great hall of the residence where Cang Long Sword Saint lived.

  A few people saw a row of people, the Cyan Dragon Sword Saint and Yang Jin, Jiang Di and three others, who were talking, also stopped their conversation. Their eyes fell directly on several people, but the eyes of Jiang Di and Yang Jin mostly fell on Wang Ting's body. If they didn't consider it inappropriate to lose their composure in front of their juniors, they would have been unable to bear saying something.

  "What's going on with us?"

  "Haha, Master. We actually wanted to find Jiang Di and Yang Jin, the two nobles, to discuss the matter of Wang Ting's court. As far as I know, Wang Ting has not received any recommendations from those swordsmanship masters for the Divine Swordsman quota, so we want to ask if it would be possible for me, Yi Zhou, to recommend him instead?"

  "What?"

  As soon as this was said, not only the Cyan Dragon Sword Saint, but also Yang Jin and Jiang Di were slightly taken aback. Immediately afterwards, the two of them furrowed their brows: "A genius swordsman like Wang Ting didn't even get a recommendation quota? It seems that our method of distributing recommendation quotas really needs to be revised."

  "Alright, after I get back, I will immediately report to the principal. As for Wang Ting's enrollment..."

  Jiang Di smiled and shifted his gaze to Wang Ting: "Having already set foot in the realm of gods, relying on the power gained from the realm of gods, the hope of advancing to a legendary swordsman will be several times, tens of times, or even dozens of times that of ordinary people. For such a talented swordsman, if we don't recruit him into the Divine Selection Swordsmanship Academy, not to mention the principal won't agree, even we ourselves won't forgive ourselves."

  Although Wang Ting had stepped into the realm of the gods, he was not clear about the legendary swordsmen's method of breaking through the physical shackles. These secrets were apparently in the hands of those legendary swordsmen and the Divine Selection Swordsmen Academy. Therefore, going to the Divine Selection Swordsmen Academy was still crucial.

  "Thank you both."

  "Haha, no need to be so polite. With your talent, you naturally don't need to go through the usual review process that ordinary students should go through. Each of us legendary swordsmen has a special quota to directly admit one student, and I'm giving this quota to you now. I hope you can quickly advance to become a legendary swordsman and become a representative of the Divine Pavilion in the world."

  "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  "I've brought four batches of students so far, with 40 to 50 students in each batch being sent to the Divine Selection Swordsmen Academy. There have also been four special admissions, but up until now, not a single one has broken through to the Legendary Swordsman realm. This matter is already becoming a laughingstock for the Divine Selection Swordsmen Academy. Now that it's the fifth batch, which is also the last batch of mandatory recruitment for each Legendary Swordsman, I hope that this time, we can succeed in one go, so that at least I won't end up with nothing to show for it."

  "I will try my best."

  "Four sessions, with forty to fifty people in each session, that's almost two hundred people, yet not a single legendary swordsman was born. The swordsmen who were selected, one by one, are all top-notch geniuses in the kingdom. The probability of advancing to become a legendary swordsman is actually as low as this?"

  Yi Zhouyi seemed to have heard about the inside story of the Divine Selection Swordsmen Academy for the first time, and was taken aback for a moment.

  "Every year, the Divine Swordsmen Academy splits into five routes, with two legendary swordsmen per team, responsible for recruiting students from the four major kingdoms and other forces. The number of recruits each year is around 200-300, but unfortunately, cultivating a legendary swordsman is extremely difficult. With over 700 new and old students combined, it's already quite impressive if one legendary swordsman emerges every year. Many times, it's normal for two or three years to pass without a single legendary swordsman emerging. The threshold of 25 years old is really too high."

  "...the threshold of twenty-five years old..."

  Yi Zhou nodded in deep agreement.

  Except for those ducal-level families or large merchant guilds like the Solaria Commerce Guild, ordinary families simply do not have the means to allow their younger generations to reach the pinnacle of being a Great Swordsman before the age of twenty-two, and even if they did, it would be due to all sorts of extraordinary encounters.

  At the age of twenty-two, he had reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, then went to the Divine Sword Academy for further study. Before the age of twenty-five, he broke through the physical shackles and had enough sword skills to gain recognition from the gods, only then could he become a legendary swordsman. These requirements, each one seemed like an insurmountable barrier in front of everyone, making legendary swordsmen always a rare existence.

  The entire Divine Swordsmen Academy is the largest gathering place for legendary swordsmen in the Eastern Alliance, and it's also the largest academy for legendary swordsmen in the Eastern Alliance. However, the number of legendary swordsmen it has is only around thirty or so.

  "Wang Ting, don't have any pressure, but as a once-in-a-lifetime genius who has set foot in the realm of gods. I believe that you will definitely be able to surpass others and achieve things that others cannot do, and ask for the legendary swordsmanship boundary."

  Wang Ting nodded slightly.

  Legendary Swordsman...

  This has been positioned by him as his second goal after becoming Taixuan's number one swordsman!

  "Ah, the realm of the gods, I'm afraid only someone like Wang Ting, an absolute genius, can reach this boundary at the swordsmen stage."

  Cang Long Jian Sheng looked at Wang Ting's young face full of confidence and determination, and couldn't help but let out a sigh of admiration.

  He was also full of passion and blood in those years, and he could sacrifice everything for the sword path, but now, people are old, and they have to admit their age, considering their own future.

  He had come to see Wang Ting specifically, and the main reason was that Wang Ting's acupuncture technique had been of great help to their Qinglong clan. With this acupuncture technique, the drawbacks of Qinglong Swordsmanship and the hidden injuries that were refined could be completely cured, making it possible for them to advance to a higher level with a greatly increased probability. This was indeed a great kindness.

  At that time, he came with a grateful heart to see Wang Ting and thought that if Wang Ting had any difficulties, he could help him out.

  But now...

  His mind has changed, and the future of such a genius is boundless. He saw in him an achievement that he had never possessed at this time, and it was best to become friends with him early on and interact with him as a friend. Perhaps, decades later, this genius would undergo a brilliant transformation, entering the realm of the extraordinary and becoming a Sword Saint.

  Even if he can't become a Sword Saint, the hope of advancing to a Legendary Swordsman tens of times higher than others is enough for the Azure Dragon Sword Saint to take notice.

  A legendary swordsman, whose status may not be as strong as that of a Sword Saint, but many times, their role is much greater than that of a Sword Saint.

  "I may be a great swordmaster, but I haven't even reached the stage of true energy liquefaction or transcending to sainthood, yet Wang Ting has already grasped this realm at just the Sword Master stage. This kind of talent is truly enviable."

  Yi Zhou spoke bluntly, unable to conceal the envy in his tone.

  "Yi Lao Ge is overpraising me, to be honest, I don't even know how I got involved in this field myself, and up until now, my understanding of it is still superficial."

  "This is where the horror of innate talent lies."

  The speaker was Jiang Di: "Liu Dongyang entered the Divine Selection Swordsmen Academy half a year ago and showed astonishing talent, attracting the attention of several legendary swordsmen. Even one instructor thought very highly of him, believing he had more than 60% chance of advancing to become a legendary swordsman. Unfortunately, later on, he became infatuated with the power of the Realm of Gods and thoroughly devoted himself to researching this understanding. He spent two and a half years researching, until the three-year deadline was up, but still hadn't grasped the power of that realm... yet, in an extremely short period of time, he had become self-taught..."

  At this point, Jiang Di shook his head.

  Although he has been shocked more than once, but as soon as he thinks of this point, he can't help but feel terrified by Wang Ting's talent.

  "As for the realm of God in our mouths..."

  As he said this, Jiang Emperor's gaze fell on the Cyan Dragon Sword Saint: "In this regard, Cyan Dragon Sword Saint sir is probably the most qualified to speak."

  "Haha, the realm of gods, it's simple if you say it's simple, and it's difficult if you say it's difficult. To put it bluntly, it's just a matter of heaven and human resonance, penetrating the universe!"

  "Heaven and man are in correspondence, penetrating heaven and earth?"

  "Not bad, heaven and man are in sync, piercing the heavens! Cultivators below the Sword Saint level cultivate their own potential, even if they're a master of swordsmanship, refining true energy is still within the scope of cultivating the physical body. However, those truly powerful Sword Saints... what they refine is no longer their own strength, but the power of heaven and earth!"

  Cang Long Jian Sheng said, seeing Yi Zhouyi, Cang Youlei, Wang Jiuding and other disciples also concentrated their minds to listen. He simply and clearly planned: "Swordsmanship master, refining the void into reality, refining true energy, great sword masters' true energy refined into a vortex, endless life, while the sword saint is true energy transformed into liquid, liquid gas born, not afraid of knives and swords. This realm is commonly known as the Sword Saint, but in the eyes of those truly high-level sword saints, it's just half-saint. Because they are still humanly graspable power at their core, as long as there are enough martial artists, one can still kill a sword saint like this, not to mention truly transcending the ordinary and entering the realm of the gods. Only then is it truly transcending the ordinary and entering the realm of the gods!"
