Chapter 159: Suppressing the Competition

"The Martial Academy is preparing a grand banner for the Celestial Overlord Squad to boost your morale. What do you think?" Li Changkong asked.

"No!"

The five of them were resolute, their expressions filled with sorrow and anger.

Recalling the grand competition ahead, they envisioned the arena filled with experts, and the five of them, like tiny shrimps, would have to bear the 'Celestial Overlord Squad' banner above their heads, fluttering in the wind.

Just thinking about it made them feel ashamed enough to die.

How could they possibly agree to this?

"Then it's settled. We won't make the banner, but we'll consider your feelings."

Li Changkong was magnanimous.

Mo Gaoyun and the others felt slightly relieved.

Fang Che, on the side, almost laughed to death. To deal with shame, just give them a more embarrassing choice, and after weighing both options, choose the lesser of the two evils.

And so it was decided.

Indeed.

Li Changkong truly lived up to his reputation as an old rogue.

Mo Gaoyun and the others were well aware of this, but the problem was that the die was cast, and the Martial Academy didn't offer any other options.

So, they had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept it.

"There's one more thing I need to inform you about. This time, it is said, just rumored, that Sword Lord will be overseeing the entire competition."

This bombshell instantly shifted everyone's attention.

"Sword Lord is coming personally? Such high regard!"

"For a mere Martial Academy competition, why would Sword Lord come?"

Mo Gaoyun and the others, their eyes lit up.

Xuening Lord, the undisputed idol of all martial artists, especially the youths.

"It's not just that."

Li Changkong said, "It is said, just rumored, that Sword Lord, after a period of seclusion, is coming out of curiosity, but also to select an apprentice from among the participating students."

Li Changkong smiled faintly, "So, you understand what this means."

Boom!

In an instant, the emotions of the five exploded!

"Sword Lord is taking on disciples!"

"Oh my..."

The five of them were stunned, feeling a surge of excitement in their hearts.

The excitement was overwhelming.

"Why are you so excited? First, this news may not be true, and second, even if it is, how can you guarantee it will be you? It's like finding a needle in a haystack."

"Since it's like finding a needle in a haystack, why can't it be us?"

Yu Zhongge chuckled, "Fortunately, I use the sword."

"Me too," said Jing Yunshang.

Mo Gaoyun and Jing Shuanggao exchanged glances, speechless.

Damn, neither of us uses the sword.

But if we switch to the sword now, will we make it in time?

Then everyone looked at Ding Jieren.

Born with a sword bone.

Ding Jieren, feeling everyone's gaze upon him, was momentarily stunned. "What's going on?"

Yu Zhongge pursed his lips, his eyes glinting, and said, "We hope to be chosen, but the odds are slim. However, if Ding Jieren is chosen, there's a good chance."

"Why?"

The crowd was perplexed.

Even Fang Che and Li Changkong were puzzled.

"Because... Sword Lord, back then, was also born with a sword bone! Just like Ding Jieren!"

Yu Zhongge said solemnly.

"!!!"

The crowd fell silent.

This was truly a well-kept secret, even unknown to the Martial Academy instructors.

Only someone like Yu Zhongge from a super-family could have such information.

Fang Che's heart stirred.

He thought of Dong Sansan's plan to stall for Ding Jieren.

He couldn't help but laugh.

It had to be said that this plan was indeed clever.

"Those born with sword bones should be rare, right?" Mo Gaoyun asked.

"Very rare!" Li Changkong replied. "In a thousand or two thousand years, there might be three or five, but most of them die young. It is said that a protector of the Only Me Sect was born with a sword bone. He killed many of our people, and later, Sword Lord personally intervened, annihilating his divine soul."

"The more outstanding the talent, the more likely it is to be cut short. Because neither side can allow the other's exceptional talent to grow."

"Yes, so all of you, when you go on missions or do anything, must be extra careful."

"Yes."

"You have twenty-eight days left. After that, you'll set out!"

Li Changkong spoke solemnly, "All your improvements, opportunities, and your future, as well as the honor of the Martial Academy, lie within these twenty-eight days!"

"So, give it your all, kids!"

"Roar!"

The five of them roared in unison, their energy like a rainbow.

"Fang Che!"

"Your task, within these twenty-eight days, is to do your utmost to suppress, squeeze, and defeat them!"

"I'll do my best!"

Fang Che made a solemn promise.

"Go!"

In the subsequent battles, Fang Che unleashed his full power, even using malevolent Qi to hone Mo Gaoyun and the others.

This caused them much suffering, but they also reaped great benefits.

Three days later, Fang Che's cultivation had stabilized at the Second Rank General level.

Currently, there was one month left until they entered the Seal God Palace, and twenty-one days remained.

Twenty-three days were left until Mo Gaoyun and the others set out, and they had already advanced to the First Rank General level.

The timeframes were mostly aligned.

Fang Che needed to rush to the other side, and Mo Gaoyun and the others needed to rush on this side.

"Reporting to the Grandmaster, we've reached the Second Rank General level. After entering the General level, cultivation progress has slowed significantly compared to the Primordial Great Master stage."

Fang Che walked home, reporting as he went.

The Seal God Palace was speechless.

Do you think the progress of the General level is the same as the Primordial Great Master?

How much spirit energy does the General level require? How much is needed for the Primordial Great Master?

It's not even close to being on the same scale, right?

In such a short time, you've already advanced by a rank. I haven't even had time to feel relieved, and you're already starting to complain.

So, I'll add some pressure: "Indeed, it's a bit slow. Put in a bit more effort."

Since you think it's slow, I'll give you an extra push.

"Grandmaster, I have some news to report. It's said that the Snow Crystal Sword will also be participating in the Martial Academy Tournament here, and they'll be selecting a disciple. This information is top-secret for now."

Fang Che quickly seized the opportunity to take credit.

Anyway, the Seal God Palace wouldn't dare to go there.

Within a three-thousand-mile radius of where the Snow Crystal Sword is located, the Seal God Palace wouldn't dare to show their faces.

Upon receiving the news, the Seal God Palace was momentarily stunned: The Snow Crystal Sword is also going?

Such importance?

Selecting a disciple?

This matter... is a big deal.

It must be reported to the Headquarters.

"Good! This information is very important."

The Seal God Palace replied.

"The Martial Academy is probably feeling pressured, so they're suppressing me. There are restrictions everywhere, although we don't have time to participate in the tournament, but when they were selecting participants, they directly excluded me. I can't get over this."

Fang Che began to complain: "And their cultivation resources, and focusing on the key points, you can quickly improve and achieve remarkable results.
