"Look, is that Elder Qin Feng of Cyan Dragon Academy going up?"

"I wonder how this Elder will perform."

"Probably not well. A lot of people say he only became the Elder Cyan Dragon by a fluke!"

"Not necessarily. To become the Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy, one of the four great academies of All Stars Academy, you can’t get to that position without some real skill!"

"I don’t think so. The competition on Spirit Sword Peak isn’t about schemes or cultivation level, but about one’s comprehension of the Sword Dao. Being an Elder might not help!"

...

Countless gazes fell upon the black-robed youth walking toward the Sword Testing Platform, and a stir went through the bustling crowd.

Qin Feng strode toward the Sword Testing Platform. As he drew near, his expression shifted slightly. He felt a tremor.

The Tide Sword Intent he comprehended seemed to resonate with a mysterious, formless aura in the air!

Following that, the invisible barrier on the Sword Testing Platform seemed to melt away, changing from an unseen resistance into a gentle spring breeze caressing his face.

In just a few steps, Qin Feng walked onto the Sword Testing Platform. His gaze fell upon the Black Sword that stood there.

The massive Black Sword looked as if someone had plunged it from the heavens into the earth. It resembled an insurmountable Ten Thousand Ridges Mountain Peak, carrying a majesty that could pierce the firmament.

Qin Feng regulated his breathing. When he opened his eyes, a faint blue Sword Qi gradually began to flow from his body.

Sensing the appearance of this Sword Qi, an invisible power from the Black Sword blessed Qin Feng’s body.

In that instant, Qin Feng felt himself become ten, even a hundred times stronger.

RUMBLE!

The next moment, a thick beam of blue sword light shot up from Qin Feng’s body, tearing through the clouds. The heavens and the earth changed color as Celestial Thunder boomed.

The First Illusion: Sword Qi Piercing the Clouds.

The Second Illusion: The World Changes Color.

The Third Illusion: A Myriad of Thunderbolts.

Celestial Changes!

A faint blue light gleamed in Qin Feng’s eyes. He channeled his Sword Qi, as if immersed in a tidal wave, and unleashed his comprehension of the Tide Sword Intent without reservation.

A rain of faint blue light appeared on the horizon. It was a sword rain, condensed from wisps of Tide Sword Qi.

This was the Fourth Illusion: Condensing Swords into Rain!

A few breaths later, faint blue Sword Lotuses bloomed in the Void. They looked as if they had been carved from the waters of the tide, their petals swaying with magnificent beauty.

This was the Fifth Illusion: Sword Lotuses in the Void!

"Water Attribute Tide Sword Intent?" Ji Huang’Er’s gaze fell upon the faint blue Sword Lotuses, and a ripple of emotion flashed through her beautiful eyes.

Just then, the fifth illusion in the Void dissipated. The distant horizon rumbled as ten thousand rays of Sword Qi shot into the sky, looking as if they could strike down the very stars.

In the sky above, a great blue sun traveled across the heavens. It was like a blue star streaking across the horizon, a sight of incomparable magnificence.

This was the Sixth Illusion: The Azure Sun’s Descent.

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!

As Qin Feng erupted with his Tide Sword Intent to its absolute limit, everyone in Spirit Sword Valley seemed to hear the roar of a surging tide.

On the Sword Mountains, countless Ancient Swords let out crisp, joyous cries. One by one, they soared into the air, circling, hovering, and weaving above the black-robed youth in the center of the Spirit Sword Valley’s plaza.

The Seventh Illusion: Ten Thousand Swords Return to the Sect!

An uproar erupted in the plaza! The geniuses of the Sword Dao stared with wide eyes!

"The seventh one! Qin Feng actually managed to summon the Seventh Illusion!"

Watching this from a dark corner of the plaza, the purple-robed youth, Wen Hong, nearly ground his teeth to dust in disbelief.

A group of "donated students" with extraordinary backgrounds had gathered around Wen Hong. The young men and women stared at the surging illusions in the sky and then looked at one another, speechless.

Elsewhere, Tuoba Ye glanced at Yuan Daozhen, whose expression had soured, and chuckled. "As expected. To become the Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy, this Qin Feng is no ordinary person!"

Hearing this, the pink-clad girl beside Tuoba Ye rolled her eyes at him, a faintly charming smile on her pretty face. "Tuoba, don’t tell me you also thought he became the Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy by a fluke? A person like you shouldn’t be thinking such things."

Tuoba Ye gave a wry smile. "This Elder’s displayed Cultivation is just too deceptive! He’s like a desert scorpion, always hiding its body beneath the sand!"

The pink-clad girl giggled. "There are no flukes at All Stars Academy!"

’My intuition was right after all!’ Watching the scene, a strange light flashed in Ji Huang’Er’s beautiful eyes as she thought to herself.

’That cunning, lecherous guy really isn’t so simple!’

"The Elder Cyan Dragon? Heh..." Not far away, Li Qiubai and Liu Canyang exchanged a look, for some reason feeling a sense of shared misery.

Both had once been top-tier geniuses of Cyan Dragon Academy, but in the two months since entering the academy, they had suffered one blow after another.

’No! I received the heritage of the Seven Extremes Ancestor and cultivate the Seven Extremes Sword Way! I am the glory of the Liu Family of the Cloud Water Empire! I will absolutely not lose to a country bumpkin like Qin Feng! Never!’ Liu Canyang roared inwardly, cutting down the negative thoughts in his mind. In that moment, his essence, energy, and spirit actually advanced another step.

Liu Canyang was truly worthy of being called one of the top geniuses.

As the seventh illusion ended, an eighth one did not appear.

As the illusions dissipated, Qin Feng looked up. WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! The dense sound of objects tearing through the air reached him.

Nearly a hundred streams of light, the silhouettes of swords, flew in from the horizon and circled the black-robed youth.

The sword silhouettes filled the sky, shimmering with brilliant Spiritual Light.

Qin Feng felt overwhelmed by the sheer number of choices!

Qin Feng’s gaze swept over them. Most of these Spirit Swords were Water, Wood, and Wind Three-attribute Spiritual Swords, with Water Attribute Spirit Swords making up the majority.

Without a doubt, the most dazzling were the two High-grade Water Attribute Spiritual Swords at the forefront.

The two Spirit Swords emanated a faint blue light, as if they had been born from the ocean itself.

A trace of excitement flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. ’High-level Spirit Swords! Treasures like these are probably rare even in a first-rate Major Sect like the Star Sect.’

An opportunity like this comes only once in a lifetime!

Qin Feng’s gaze fell on the first High-level Spirit Sword. At that moment, a line of faintly glowing text gradually appeared on the Black Sword.

"Bishui Cold Dew Sword, also known as the Bishui Sword or the Cold Dew Sword. A High-grade Water Attribute Spiritual Sword forged from the extremely rare Bishui Cold Iron Essence found in the ten-thousand-fathom Jade Sea Abyss. Length: three feet, four inches. It innately contains a trace of Bishui Cold Power. The personal sword of the Jishui Peak Master 1,700 years ago!"

"Beiming Divine Water Sword. A High-grade Water Attribute Spiritual Sword. Its body was nurtured from a single, rare grain of North Nether Divine Water Essence that gestated for countless eons in the Profound Nether Abyss. Length: four feet, six inches. It innately contains a trace of North Nether True Water. The personal sword of the 94th generation Sect Leader of the Star Sect from 2,100 years ago!"

Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the two High-level Spirit Swords.

’Which one should I choose?’ Qin Feng wondered, his eyes hesitant. Both were High-grade Water Attribute Spiritual Swords of similar quality. From his perspective, both were top-tier High-level Spirit Swords. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Qin Feng’s gaze first fell upon the Bishui Cold Dew Sword. This sword contained a trace of Bishui Cold Power.

It could be described as a High-level Spirit Sword that contained the power of both ice and water. A single slash could freeze everything for a thousand miles.

As for the other one, the Beiming Divine Water Sword, the trace of North Nether True Water it contained possessed a terrifying devouring and corrosive power.

This Spirit Sword was also extremely tempting to Qin Feng.

In the end, Qin Feng chose the Beiming Divine Water Sword. The reason was simple: this Spirit Sword’s strength lay in its pure Water Attribute, which would benefit him the most.

Once Qin Feng made his choice, the Beiming Divine Water Sword let out a joyous cry. At the same time, the other Spirit Swords hummed unwillingly, circled Qin Feng a few times, and then transformed into streams of light, disappearing above the Spirit Sword Valley.

The next moment, the Beiming Divine Water Sword transformed into a ray of blue light that enveloped Qin Feng. A vast and tangible wave of Water Attribute Spiritual Energy poured directly into him from the top of his head, and the aura around his body began to fluctuate...
