Forty Millenniums of Cultivation

However, it was different than the ordinary white coats; the white coats they wore had a vivid bloody skeleton embroidered upon it. Amidst the fierce gales, the jaws of the bloody skeleton seemed to be laughing at death.

The members of the Glyph Devils, instead, wore an airtight robe that only revealed their face, which was completely engraved with tattoos. They were like colorful chameleons who were hiding their true appearance.

Only a few dozen freshmen were left after the Lancets and the Glyph Devils had received their freshmen, a majority of which looked ugly and repulsive and had pitiful strength.

These freshmen were those who had chosen the ordinary departments besides the four key departments.

Watching the other freshmen happily joining the four key departments one by one, these freshmen of the ordinary departments let out a sigh. They did not have any intention to conceal their envy and disappointment.

Standing amidst this group, Li Yao gave the impression of a grim wolf, whose fangs were stained with blood, standing amidst a group of pugs; it looked indescribably repulsive.

At this moment—

Li Yao’s glabella twitched. He suddenly felt that the air in front of him was a little strange.

A thought struck Li Yao’s mind as he spontaneously retreated a step, and at the same time, he slightly bent his knees while spiritual energy surged into his legs so that every strand of his muscles was ready to erupt at any moment.

At the very same moment Li Yao retreated, two black figures from within the group of Iron Fist Club and Chaos Edge Hall whizzed out like a flash and appeared before Li Yao.

They were precisely the bald giant, Hua Tianxiong, and the hunchback young boy, Xu Ge, both of whom were experts of the 11th level Refinement Stage!

A sliver of surprise appeared on the faces of the two at the same time. They had never expected that Li Yao’s senses would be so sharp that he could predict their appearance in advance.

”Very good, you, sure enough, are someone who Professor Ding has his eyes on!”

The bald giant, Hua Tianxiong, jovially laughed as he measured Li Yao from head to toe with a satisfied look in his eyes. Nodding his head, he said, ”Student Li Yao, your reputation has already spread in the entire campus before you have even arrived at university. It would truly be a pity if someone like you, who has beaten a 3rd level Refinement Stage cultivator unarmed, is not developed in the direction of a body practitioner! You are always welcome to take a look at the Iron Fist Club. I and Master Ding Lingdang will always be waiting for you. If you are interested, it would not be difficult in the least to make a transfer!”

Before Li Yao could even respond, the hunchback Xu Ge sneered:

”Hua Tianxiong, Student Li Yao’s talent in refining is obvious to all. If he joined your Iron Fist Hall, wouldn’t it be truly wasteful? I, however, am different. I did not come here to ask Student Li Yao to join my Chaos Edge Hall. I just hope that Student Li Yao will consider developing in both departments. He could learn to refine as well as take the courses of a sword cultivator at the same time. It would not be difficult for him to take a ’dual degree’!”

As Xu Ge took a glance at Li Yao, his eyes sparkled like a poisonous snake who had found a little green frog as he revealed his true intention:

”Of course, if Student Li Yao is willing to take the road of a sword cultivator, then we will still welcome you—I know student Li Yao has a senior brother-junior brother relationship with ’Fiend Blade Peng Hai’. And as Senior Peng Hai was once the president of our Chaos Edge Hall, then this could be considered fate. Perhaps someday, Student Li Yao could possibly become the next president of Chaos Edge Hall and lead our Chaos Edge Hall to thoroughly pummel the Iron Fist Club, reproducing the brilliant era of ’Fiend Blade Peng Hai’!”

Li Yao smiled:

”I appreciate the kindness of you two. Maybe in the future, I will consider it, but for now, I am a member of the Starfire Union!”

The look in his eyes was exceptionally firm; there was not a sliver of any signs that showed that he had been swayed by the two.

Hua Tianxiong and Xu Ge glanced at each other as both of them smiled at the same time.

Hua Tianxiong frankly said:

”Alright. We knew Student Li Yao would not be so easily convinced.”

Xu Ge opened his mouth as he said:
