"The Sword Son of the Sword Dynasty is a lofty position. Even Hua Wuxiu and the others on the Sword Ranking are inferior to the Sword Son. That kind of existence is not something you can become just because you want to." Han Lingxuan smiled faintly and shook her head.
She thought that Ye Guchen's question was a little ridiculous.
"Is that so?" Ye Guchen was a little puzzled.
Because Kenpō said that with his talent and strength, it would not be too difficult to become the Sword Dynasty's Sword Son.
It seems that the reality is not so.
"To become the Sword Dynasty's Sword Son, you have to pass five tests and kill six generals. Not to mention other things, if you can't enter the five great academies, then you don't even have the qualifications to compete for the title of Sword Son." Han Lingxuan explained.
"I'd like to hear more." Ye Guchen frowned and said.
He did not know much about the Sword Dynasty.
"The Sword Dynasty does not have sects, only the Sword Dao Alliance. The aristocratic families also belong to the Sword Dao Alliance."
"The five great academies were established by the Sword Dao Alliance to nurture the Sword Dynasty and all the geniuses who came because of the Sword Dao Alliance's reputation, providing a steady stream of new blood for the Sword Dao Alliance."
"And to become the Sword Son, the first thing you need to do is find a way to enter the five great academies. I came to the Sword Dynasty because of this goal." Han Lingxuan said.
"I see." Ye Guchen frowned slightly.
In fact, he was not very willing to join the five great academies.
Because there were not many people who were qualified to teach him the way of the sword.
But to become the Sword Son, one must be a genius of the five great academies.
"In the five great academies, in addition to the guidance of famous teachers, more than half of the Sword Dynasty's resources are gathered there. I heard from Xiao Kui that you need sacred medicine to recover from your injuries, so you should have a good chance in the academies."
Han Lingxuan glanced at Ye Guchen and said.
Ye Guchen nodded. Cultivation resources were indeed what he needed the most right now.
"Ye Guchen, you can join the Academy. In addition to cultivation resources, some of the Sword Dynasty's secret realms are only open to students of the Academy."
Ye Guchen heard Su Qingyu's voice in his mind.
"Is that so?" Ye Guchen's eyes flashed.
As a nation of sword cultivators, the Sword Dynasty obviously had many precious treasures for sword cultivators.
The Sword Dynasty naturally wouldn't share these treasures with everyone for free.
Perhaps only the disciples of the five great academies under the Sword Dao Alliance were qualified to enjoy it.
Ye Guchen finally understood why the Sword Dynasty attracted so many sword dao prodigies.
"Right, what's the point of the so-called Sword Ranking?" Ye Guchen asked again.
"The Sword Dynasty gathered countless sword dao prodigies in the South Horizon Region. Naturally, there would be a ranking, and the Sword Ranking is the ranking of the younger generation of sword dao prodigies in the Sword Dynasty."
"There are a total of 100 names on the Sword Ranking, which is also known as the Prospective Sword Son Ranking. Because almost everyone who is on the Sword Ranking has the possibility of competing for the position of Sword Son. The top 20 prodigies on the Sword Ranking are no weaker than the Sword Son."
Han Lingxuan said with a yearning look in her eyes.
If one wanted to become famous in the Sword Dynasty, the fastest way was to be on the Sword Ranking.
Being able to be on the Sword Ranking was also a supreme honor.
When Ye Gu Chen heard this, he finally understood.
Why was everyone so shocked when Hua Wuxiu said that his cousin was Hua Tengfei?
In the vast Sword Dynasty, there were only 100 prodigies who could be on the Sword Ranking.
And Hua Wuxiu, who was ranked third, was naturally an existence that everyone looked up to.
"Do you have the Sword Ranking list?" Ye Guchen asked.
"This is not a secret. The last few dozen names on the Sword Ranking list are updated almost every day, but the top 30 or 40 names do not change much." Han Lingxuan took out a jade slip and handed it to Ye Guchen.
Ye Guchen took it and scanned it with his Divine Sense.
98th on the Sword Ranking, Xue Changfeng, a disciple of the Xue family, a level 8 Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge prodigy.
84th on the Sword Ranking, Zong Yan, a wandering prodigy who comprehended the Metal Sword Dao, a level 8 Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge prodigy.
...
The higher Ye Guchen scanned, the stronger the prodigies were.
"This is..." When Ye Guchen's gaze landed on the 12th place on the Sword Ranking, his eyes suddenly froze.
12th place on the Sword Ranking, Mu Xingzu, a prodigy of the Tianxian College. She comprehended the peerless Soul Sword Dao, had extraordinary talents, and was at the peak of the level 9 Heaven and Earth Spirit Bridge. She could easily retreat from a Divine Palace expert.
"Mu Xingzu..." Ye Guchen murmured.
He didn't expect to see this girl here.
Ye Guchen couldn't help but think of the stubborn girl who gritted her teeth and persevered under Qin Lin'er's sword when he first entered the Sword Sect Pagoda Forest.
Now, she also relied on her own efforts to make a name for herself in the Sword Dynasty.
She was no longer the girl who needed Ye Guchen's protection.
"Mu Xingzu is also a prodigy who recently rose to prominence. She was directly admitted to the Tianxian College, one of the five major colleges, but I heard that she never gets close to anyone of the opposite sex."
Han Lingxuan saw the strange look on Ye Guchen's face and looked deeply at him.
"Isn't Gongzi Dugu not interested in women? Why do you have such a big reaction to Mu Xingzu?"
Facing the three sisters, Ye Guchen was able to remain indifferent.
Therefore, in Han Lingxuan's eyes, Ye Guchen should be the kind of swordsman who prioritized the way of the sword.
"Maybe Mu Xingzu is too outstanding."
No matter how hard Han Lingxuan thought about it, she would never have thought of it.
The young man in front of her was the master of Mu Xingzu, who was ranked 12th on the Sword Ranking.
If Han Lingxuan knew the truth, she would definitely be so shocked that she couldn't close her mouth.
Later, Ye Guchen also saw Hua Wuxiu, who was ranked third on the Sword Ranking.
Divine Palace cultivation, seventh-grade prodigy, dual sword dao, and all kinds of halos on his body.
"Gongzi Dugu, I hope you can keep a low profile in the Sword Dynasty. Hua Wuxiu might not care about people like us, but if Hua Tengfei pursues to the end, it will be very troublesome."
Han Lingxuan warned.
Part of the reason why Ye Guchen and Hua Tengfei had a grudge against each other was because of her.
Therefore, Han Lingxuan didn't want to see Ye Guchen be killed by Hua Wuxiu and the others.
But Han Lingxuan's words seemed to mean that they were very inferior in the eyes of Hua Wuxiu.
It was like a lion that didn't care about ants at its feet.
Ye Guchen smiled and didn't say anything.
Han Lingxuan only knew that his physical strength was amazing and that he could fight against a fifth-level Heaven Earth Bridge prodigy.
But she didn't know that when he recovered his cultivation, his strength would skyrocket again.
Even Hua Wuxiu couldn't put on airs in front of him.
"When we arrive at the Sword Dynasty, I will be able to contact my acquaintances. Coincidentally, the selection of the five academies is about to begin. This time, I must enter the five academies," Han Lingxuan vowed.
She enjoyed a lot of fame in the Chuyun Dynasty.
However, in the Sword Dynasty, even if she wasn't at the bottom of the Chu Yun Dynasty, she definitely wasn't outstanding.
Han Lingxuan glanced at Ye Guchen.
Ye Guchen's comprehension of swordsmanship had surprised her, but unfortunately, he could not cultivate it.
Han Lingxuan sighed and said, "Gongzi Dugu, don't mind it. It's already amazing that you can cultivate your physical body to this level."
"As for whether you can enter the five academies, like Lingxuan, it depends on luck." Han Lingxuan smiled bitterly.
"Depends on luck, huh..." Ye Guchen smiled faintly.
