25 Chapter 25 Having a Room to Live in Is Already Good
"Okay," Chen Yuan nodded as Lin Yong suggested that Yang Xiaotian stay for another year.
He knew that Lin Yong's offer for Yang Xiaotian to stay another year was already a great favor.
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian's expression remained unchanged.
In fact, whether he stayed at Divine Sword Academy or not, he was indifferent.
However, since his parents hoped that he would enter Divine Sword Academy, he decided to stay for a year before leaving after that period.
After one year, he should be able to break through to the Martial King Realm.
Subsequently, Yang Xiaotian was assigned to Class Four in the first grade, which was known to have the worst talent in Divine Sword Academy. Of course, even the worst class had at least a ninth-level Martial Soul.
Therefore, Yang Xiaotian, with his "second-level Martial Soul," was an anomaly.
Yang Xiaotian also shared a yard with the students of Class Four.
The yard was large, and each student had their own private room.
Yang Xiaotian's room was allocated at the very back corner, on the outer edge of the yard.
This location was undoubtedly where the spiritual energy was the weakest and the darkest place, almost devoid of light.
"This is your room," said Chen Bingyao, the Class Leader of Class Four, pointing to the room indifferently and tossing a key to Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Xiaotian frowned upon seeing the room and said, "Aren't there many empty rooms at the front?"
Chen Bingyao glanced at Yang Xiaotian, "There are many empty rooms at the front, but do you think you deserve such a nice room with your talent?"
"Your talent is the worst in the entire academy; to be precise, it's the worst in the history of Divine Sword Academy. You should be grateful to have a room to stay in at all, rather than being choosy."
Upon hearing this, Yang Xiaotian's face darkened.
"What, you're not convinced?" said Chen Bingyao. "This was arranged by the teacher; if you're not satisfied, go plead with our teacher tomorrow."
"If you beg on your knees, maybe he will move you to a slightly better room."
Yang Xiaotian looked at him, his eyes cold.
Chen Bingyao sneered, "What, you want to beat me up? The academy prohibits private fights. If you want to hit me, you can challenge me tomorrow after asking the teacher." With that, he left.
A challenge, huh?
As night had already fallen, it would have to wait until tomorrow!
Yang Xiaotian watched his retreating figure with a cold gaze.
Moments later, he turned and opened the door to the room, which was only about ten square meters, furnished with a wooden bed and, besides that, a stool.
After closing the door, he let out the Golden Armored Beast from his pocket, then took out a Cold Jade Bed from the Medicine Cauldron and placed it on the wooden bed.
Sitting on the Cold Jade Bed, he began to review the rules and regulations manual of Divine Sword Academy.
Soon, Yang Xiaotian finished reading and gained a general understanding of Divine Sword Academy.
He also understood what a challenge entailed.
Afterward, he swallowed the Four Symbols Spirit Pill he had refined two days earlier and started to practice the Primordial Dragon Art.
Instantly, nature's spiritual energy roared towards him.
The third whirlpool in Yang Xiaotian's Dantian began to expand.
Initially, the third whirlpool in his Dantian was only one meter in size, but quickly expanded to two meters, then three.
Suddenly, there was a crisp cracking sound inside his body.
The majesty of the True Dragon shook Heaven and Earth.
After days of arduous cultivation, the second True Dragon Power finally awoke!
Yang Xiaotian was elated and continued to practice the Primordial Dragon Art to refine the Four Symbols Spirit Pill.
He only stopped when dawn broke.
However, after breaking through to the third level of Innate, the potency of the Four Symbols Spirit Pill diminished significantly. He had thought he could at least reach the peak of the third level, but now he had barely broken through to the later stages of the third level.
The third whirlpool in his Dantian had just managed to reach seven meters.
However, to Yang Xiaotian's surprise and delight, his second True Dragon Power had finally awakened.
With two True Dragon Powers, both his strength and defense had greatly increased. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Thinking of the challenge, Yang Xiaotian inquired about it and made his way to the residence of Cao Lu, the head teacher of Class Four.
Just as he arrived at the entrance, he overheard Cao Lu and Chen Bingyao's conversation.
"He complains about the room he was given?" said Cao Lu with displeasure.
Chen Bingyao spoke, "If you ask me, the teacher shouldn't have arranged a room for him at all. I don't know what the Dean was thinking, letting him into Divine Sword Academy."
Cao Lu continued, "It was the Vice Dean who thought his Martial Soul could potentially grow to a ninth level, so he pleaded with Dean Yang. It would've been difficult for Dean Yang to dismiss the Vice Dean's face, so he let him stay in the academy temporarily for a year."
"But after a year, he surely won't break through the seventh tier. He'll have to pack up and leave."
"It's just that I didn't expect the Dean to push him into our Class Four. What a misfortune."
Cao Lu was annoyed about having a second-level Giant Tortoise Martial Soul crammed into Class Four.
The academy held periodic assessments for each class and level every term, and Yang Xiaotian's joining his class would only drag them down, wouldn't it?
Now the whole academy knew that a second-level Martial Soul had come to Class Four.
At that moment, Yang Xiaotian pushed the door and entered.
The conversation between Chen Bingyao and Cao Lu came to a sudden halt.
"Teacher, this is Yang Xiaotian," said Chen Bingyao, surprised by the arrival and then speaking to Cao Lu.
"You're Yang Xiaotian!" Cao Lu said with a scowl upon hearing that it was Yang Xiaotian. "What are you doing here?" He then added impatiently, "Don't come looking for me unless it's important!"
Yang Xiaotian stared at Cao Lu, "I read through the academy's regulations manual. Every new student is entitled to a bottle of premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, right?"
Cao Lu laughed, "Indeed, but tell me, do you think a second-level Martial Soul like you deserves premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid?" He added, "You want the premium Foundation Building Spiritual Liquid, is that it? Well, you can have it if you defeat Bingyao. That will prove you're worthy of it."
"Also, if you defeat Bingyao, you can choose any empty room you want."
He gestured towards Chen Bingyao.
Just as Cao Lu and Chen Bingyao expected Yang Xiaotian to back down, Yang Xiaotian responded, "Fine, let's go to the Martial Arts Stage." With that, he turned and left.
Chen Bingyao was momentarily stunned, then overjoyed.
"Wait," Cao Lu advised, "Make sure he gets a good taste of your Mysterious Iron Swordsmanship later."
"Don't worry, teacher. I will," Chen Bingyao responded confidently with a smile.
The two of them followed Yang Xiaotian out, and at the same time, Cao Lu notified all the students of Class Four to immediately come to the Martial Arts Stage.
When the students of Class Four heard that the new student was challenging their leader, Chen Bingyao, they were all excited and rushed to the Martial Arts Stage.
Soon, Hu Xing, Cheng Beibei, Yang Zhong, and others also got wind of the news.
"He doesn't know the sky is high and the earth is thick, challenging an old student as soon as he arrives at Divine Sword Academy," Hu Xing shook his head.
"Let's go, we'll go watch too," Cheng Beibei said with a snicker, eager to see what Yang Xiaotian would look like after being beaten into a pig's head.
