Chapter 214: Xuan Yi Is Unfathomable

Considering that Xuan Yi was still the Sect Master, Sun Sheng felt that the strength of his attack was just right, as he was regarded as an Advanced-stage Sage Expert. With only 30% of his strength, he was actually no match for a Sect Master like Xuan Yi who could crush him with a few strokes.

This was fine. After all, he was the Number One Expert on the Yuan Board and should not be taken lightly.

Thus, when Sun Sheng saw that the light on Xuan Yi’s sword shining and charging straight at him, he raised his hand and used 50% of his strength.

At the end, the sword light mellowed, but he nearly made a fool of himself in front of the Dean.

To think that a mere Sect Master had the ability to force him to use 50% of his strength with a single strike!

“It was beyond my imagination just what strength you possessed?” and since he wanted to test it, he had to test it out completely!

Now, an Expert at the Advanced-Stage of the Sage Realm, he was prepared to use his full strength.

Swoosh!

Solemnly, the Dean waved his hand and set up a Spiritual Energy Barrier to protect the Dean’s room from the aftershocks of the battle.

As a Sage Pinnacle Expert, he realized that Sun Sheng had already used his full strength.

Furthermore, Xuan Yi’s Sword Qi wasn’t weak. If the two of them were to clash, the shockwaves from the battle would surely cause a huge commotion at the academy.

Xuan Yi’s eyes flickered. He saw that the Dean would rather set up a barrier than extend his hand to stop Sun Sheng.

Sun Sheng’s previous attack was indeed only at the tip of the early stage of the Sage Realm, and was without any malicious intent.

Xuan Yi nodded slightly.

He knew that Sun Sheng was only testing his strength.

“He wanted to test my strength.”

Xuan Yi’s expression was solemn as he stared at Sun Sheng.

The Vice Dean wanted to test Xuan Yi’s strength.

Xuan Yi also wanted to see how many moves he would need to defeat an Advanced-Stage Sage Expert with his current battle prowess.

Clang!

Xuan Yi’s longsword hummed lightly as he unsheathed it.

Boom!

He had reached the pinnacle of Level Four sword intent, and all of it had condensed into an illusory longsword. And the boundless Sword Qi turned into an endless river, tearing through space and stirring up huge waves!

Wham!

At the same time, a layer of inky black domain rapidly spread around Xuan Yi.

Xuan Yi was not in the mood to let his spiritual fire float around releasing a threatening pressure.

The fact was that he had recently increased his combat strength and had not found a suitable opportunity to practice his upgraded skill. A Late-Stage Sage Expert had come forward now and that gave Xuan Yi a good opportunity to show off his skills and he would not let it slip by…

Xuan Yi shouted lightly as the Sword Qi flashed in his eyes.

“Let’s fight !”

Sun Sheng’s expression was solemn, and his heart was restless. He couldn’t hold it in any longer and took the initiative to make a move.

Under Xuan Yi’s power, he actually felt a faint trace of pressure.

Boom!

Xuan Yi’s gaze was cold and stern, and at the same time, he activated his Sword Qi, forcing Sun Sheng to counter attack.

With the sword’s attack, Sun Sheng’s attack was brazenly shattered, and the spiritual light shot out at all directions, striking directly at the spiritual Qi screen. However, Xuan Yi utilized the little bit of trace of Sword Qi, and resolutely slashed towards Sun Sheng.

The Dean flashed in front of the shocked Sun Sheng and extended his hand to block Xuan Yi’s Sword Qi.

He casually raised his hand, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and shock. After his hand received the Sword Qi, it actually trembled.

Xuan Yi had the capability to create shock to a Sage Pinnacle Expert?

The Dean threw away the screen.

He looked deeply at Xuan Yi, with his cultivation and knowledge as the Peak of the King Realm.

It would be different if Xuan Yu had not made the move, but since they had already exchanged blows, he saw through it. Although Xuan Yi’s cultivation was still at the Sect Leader Realm, he seemed to have improved tremendously. Even at his level, his sword moves could create quite a stir at the Peak of the Sage Realm.

“Thanks for letting me win!”

Xuan Yi withdrew his sword, smiled, and cupped his fists at Sun Sheng.

Sun Sheng shook his head with a bitter smile. As a veteran Late-Stage Sage Expert, he actually felt a faint sense of disappointment for his defeat of Xuan Yi!

The Dean’s mind spun rapidly as he looked at Xuan Yi with a hint.

“I’m afraid that even the old me is no match for you.”

“Ever since you were ranked on the Yuan Board by the South Bright Tower and had suppressed many veteran experts, there have been many doubts about you from the outside world.”

“Even though there were people who gave you recognition, you were not qualified to be ranked on the Yuan Board just because of the battle in the Dongping region. The strength that you have displayed was only the early stage of the Sage Realm. And, no one on the Yuan Roll was weak. Every single one of them was an existence comparable to the early stage of the Sage Realm. Therefore, even if you were at the early stage of the Sage Realm, you were not qualified to be ranked first.”

“Now, it seemed that you not only ranked first, but you’re far ahead of the one in the second place!”

“The South Bright Tower was indeed something!”

Even though they had overestimated Xuan Yi again and again, Xuan Yi was like an inexhaustible treasure that could always spring surprises.

The Dean pondered. Xuan Yi had such strength, talent and courage to become the dean of the mansion. Moreover, he was an expert of the South Province’s three banners. It was enough to put the middle Saint Academy Shine in the limelight.

“Xuan Yi.”

The Dean spoke with a solemn expression. His eyes were sparkling as he stared at Xuan Yi.

“From today onwards, you are conferred the Sixth Vice Dean of our South Province’s Middle Saint Academy.”

“Take this Jade Token as proof of your new identity!” Having said that, he carefully handed the lighted Jade Token that had coloured Runes interweaved within, waiting for Xuan Yi’s spiritual energy to be embedded onto it.

Xuan Yi glanced at Sun Sheng, who had been shocked into silence. Then, he looked at the earnest-looking Dean, before shifting his gaze to the Jade Token.

This Jade Token was the same as the Teacher’s Jade Token. It was a keepsake that could distinguish one’s identity.

Xuan Yi needed to imprint his source of spirit and aura onto the Jade Token, and the position of Vice Dean would be bound to him.

“Vice dean!”

Xuan Yi pondered for a moment, but he didn’t reject the offer. He raised his hand and took the Jade Talisman.

The entire Middle Saint Academy was incomparably vast. Other than the two academies, there were many other places that were the foundation of the Middle Saint Academy. In some places, even the teachers weren’t allowed to enter.

With the identity of Vice-Dean, it would be easier.

Since it was of no loss to him, Xuan Yi received it.

His spirit source carried his own aura and was deeply imprinted onto the Spirit Talisman. At this point, the Sixth Vice-Dean of the South Continent’s Middle Saint Academy was taken over by a twenty-something-year-old Xuan Yi.

The dean and Sun Sheng looked at each other with a trace of satisfaction across their eyes.

Everyone had underestimated Xuan Yi’s strength.

The outside world only thought that Xuan Yi’s combat strength was at the early stage of the Sage Realm. However, it wouldn’t be long before he would be able to climb to the Peak of the Sage Realm!

Xuan Yi was one of the people from the Middle Sage Academy, so the two of them looked at each other with a smile.

They would naturally not expose Xuan Yi’s true battle prowess.

If anyone provoked them, they would definitely be in for a surprise!

Meanwhile, in the Yu Family in the East of the Holy Region and in the Majestic Family’s Meeting Hall, many of the Elites of the Yu Family had rushed back under the summons of their families.

They straightened their backs and greeted one another with praise as they moved along. In the midst of this , Yu Linglong pursed her lips and quickly bent over to take a seat.
