"I truly appreciate your kindness to impart the cultivation methods tothese days."
Austin bowed respectfully to the five people in the hall.
"Sir, may | call you my master?"
Austin bowed to the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was the former owner of the Golden Sun Scripture, the Fire Stela, and the vital energy stone. In a sense, you
could say that he was Austin's master.
After that, Austin left the hall.
Once he left the hall, he didn't encounter anymore danger and was able to peacefully leave the valley.
Standing outside the valley, he looked back and saw how different it looked compared to when he first arrived. There was no evil
wind, evil mist or any creepy bone land in the valley. The corpses and dark palace were nowhere to be found as well.
One could look down to the bottom of the whole valley without seeing any weed or living creatures.
"There must be an extremely powerful array in the valley, which has concealed everything.
Only by a lucky coincidence could | meet those things in the valley.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, when | walk in, | will find nothing,"
Austin muttered to himself.
"It is tto make a breakthrough in my cultivation base!"
For the past twenty days, Austin had been restraining his vital energy realm.
Now it was finally the right tto make a breakthrough.
Half a day later, near the Evil Valley, up high in the air, the thick dark clouds were gathered, and the sky was covered by dark
clouds. Thick lightning and bolts of thunder exploded in the clouds.
Thunderbolts poured from the sky; sheets of luminous lightning struck down to a figure like a waterfall.
Within an hour, countless thick forests around the figure were destroyed by lightning and turned into a sea of raging fire.
Two hours later, dark clouds dispersed in the sky, and no lightning or thunderbolt could be seen.
"I have reached the preliminary stage of Major-perfection Realm!"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAustin said to himself as he suspended in the air and felt the vital energy force inside him through clenched fists.
With a raise of his hand, a strong wave of golden sword aura emanated from the tips of his fingers. Austin directed the aura to a
random direction.
Bang!
A peak was broken in half by the sword aura sent out by Austin.
"My power is indeed much stronger now!"
Austin was very proud of the impact.
The Five Elements Dominant Swordsmanship included the rules of five elements: metal, wood, water, fire and earth. Each of these
elements could be used to form a wave of sword aura.
Austin's attack was the sword aura of metal elements.
That single wave of this sword aura was more powerful than the five waves of sword auras he could unleash before.
Austin had spent days studying the rules of five elements in the hall. He could see from the results that his efforts had not been in
vain.
The power of his Five Elements Dominant Swordsmanship had been increased significantly!
"Ha-ha! Now | can defeat most cultivators at the Major-perfection Realm by using the Five Elements Dominant Swordsmanship!"
Austin said gleefully.
"Well, I'm almost half a month late. | think that the new disciples have already adapted to the life of the four schools," Austin
mused.
"lI can't delay any longer. It's tforto go to the Blue Dragon School at the Middle Pilgrim Land.
| wonder if they'll still allowto go to Blue Dragon School despite being late for more than half a month,"
Austin said with uncertainty. He looked at the direction of the Middle Pilgrim Land.
He waved his hand again softly, and the Thunder Canoe appeared in front of him.
The moment he got on the canoe, it instantly flashed through the void and vanished.
In the past half month, the Blue Dragon School had a much livelier atmosphere compared to before.
Six hundred new disciples had enrolled at the school.
The six hundred new disciples consisted of one hundred disciples from the East Mainland, the West Desert, the South Mountain and
the North Plateau respectively, and two hundred disciples enrolled from the Middle Pilgrim Land.
In the past half month, these new disciples were full of energy and enthusiasm. They practiced all the tand seized every
second to improve their strength.
There was a tradition in the school that a competition between the new disciples would be held a month after they entered the
school.
The senior leaders of the school would reward those who performed well in the competition. These rewards included a variety of
top-grade treasures, pills, crystals, and inheritance of martial arts. The rewards were very generous and had every new disciple
intrigued.
However, the most interesting part of the competition was that the top three new disciples would be qualified to be baptized by the
Dragon Blood Pool.
The pool was considered a secret treasure of the Blue Dragon School.
They said that any new disciple that could get baptized in the pool would have unimaginable blessings.
His flesh body could be transformed and upgraded thoroughly!
In the Blue Dragon School, only the most elite disciples were qualified to enter the pool for baptism once in a year.
Baptism by the pool was considered to be extremely precious by the entire school.
Therefore, every new disciple wanted to get such a good reward.
At that moment, inside a magnificent palace of the Blue Dragon School, a group of people were in a meeting.
"Chris, answerhonestly—why didn't you bring the new disciple named Austin back to your Blue Dragon School?
Austin is the person designated byto enter your school.
| specifically told you to take care of him.
Humph! Now you lost him.
The dean of your Blue Dragon School is here. You'd better have a good explanation for me.
Otherwise, | won't let you off!"
an old man with white hair ranted irritably at another old man clad in grey. He pointed at the latter's nose angrily and continued to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmscold him.
If Austin was there, he would recognize that the grumpy old man was Anderson. He was the one who had designated him to be the
new disciple of the four schools in the Mighty Mountains.
The old man in grey scolded by Anderson was Elder Chris who had been assigned to recruit new disciples for the Blue Dragon
School from the East Mainland.
"Please allowto explain, Master Anderson.
| waited for Austin for about four to five days in the Mighty Mountains but he didn't show up," Chris started to explain.
"Later, | sent people to the headquarters of his sect to ask where he was. They told us that Austin had gone to the Cloud Empire in
the East Mainland.
| sent another group of people to the Cloud Empire to find Austin. However, they toldthat by the tthey got there, Austin
had already left the imperial capital city of the Cloud Empire. No one knew where he went." Chris shrugged his shoulders.
"I stayed in the Mighty Mountains for ten days waiting for him.
After that, | brought other new disciples withand rushed back to the Middle Pilgrim Land.
Master Anderson, If you don't believe me, you can just find a new disciple, any one of them from the East Mainland, and ask them
to confirm what | said,"
Chris explained for himself with a red face, feeling both angry and embarrassed.
