Each family was an existence with an extremely solid background and powerful inheritance from antiquity.

Meanwhile, super forces such as the Heavenly Academy was independent and parallel to these families.

These families were famous not only for their great strengths, ancient history, and vast acc.u.mulations. Their ultimate geniuses in each generation inspired awe and respect, and many people talked about them.

Some even struck fear into people.

For example, when he was 19, Nangong Zhuo of the Nangong Family entered the Heavenly Abyss Sea and killed a rare three-headed black dragon at the Divine Ocean Realm. When Xun Yuan of the Xun Family was born, a phenomenon appeared in the sky, and it was said that a demon tried to take possession of his body. However, before the possession process could complete, it was turned into ashes and disappeared!

Each of them had awe-inspiring performances in battles.

Even Tang Yu, the famous playboy, had killed a demon beast higher than his realm.

As for a loli, she had been famous for her talent, but she had disappeared for a long time since she was a little over ten years old and re-emerged recently. If re-emerging after disappearing for so long could be counted as awe-inspiring performance, she did have one.

Meanwhile, on the Sky-Patrolling Spiritual s.h.i.+p outside the spiritual mountains, the black-robed Daoist stroked his beard while he stared at the mountains beneath the s.h.i.+p, saying with a smile, "Baoping Spiritual Master, who do you think has the potential to take the first place?"

"After his trip in the Fortune Golden Palace, w.a.n.g Xie of the w.a.n.g Family has gained tremendous growth," the white-clothed woman said with a chuckle, "With that treasure, he has the greatest potential to become the champion."

The black-robed Daoist said with a smirk, "Baoping Spiritual Master, you come from the w.a.n.g Family, but don't forget about our seventh girl who had just come back from experiencing that place. After all, our Saint Warrior Branch of the Heavenly Academy has never been weak!"

"You two, don't forget that the members of major families entering the exam are all powerful." At this moment, a white-clothed, middle-aged man walked up from behind. "It's still early to predict who will win."

 "Brother Fengyang, you're right," the black-robed Daoist laughed.

Then, the white-clothed, middle-aged man asked, "How about the girl of the Jiang Family?"

"The girl of Jiang Family… Hehe…" They exchanged a smile. "Since that Majesty had asked for a favor from us, we'll let her experience the exam, and we'll monitor her closely and ensure that she can enter the academy." 

"Okay," the white-clothed middle-aged man said with a nod, "Since that Majesty has made the request… Let's see where this little princess is… I hope she won't encounter members of the Nangong Family or other families and get knocked out of the exam."

"Hahaha! I was planning to find her!" They all nodded. Then, the middle-aged woman named the Baoping Spiritual Master drew a pattern in the air, and a strange layer of mist soon appeared before them. In the mist, figures moved. As the mist gradually cleared, they saw Jiang Xiaoyue and where she was.

At this moment, Jiang Xiaoyue lifted the potato chips bag which was bigger than her head and poured the last bits of chips into her mouth.

"Au! Gone so soon?!" Then, she dug out her communication jade from her pocket and looked at it while walking distractedly"

"Ugh…" The lips of the people of Heavenly Academy twitched. "…"

"Naughty!"

"It's a shame that she is playing even in the academy exam!"

"No wonder that Majesty had to ask a favor from us. This girl probably can't reach the gate without our help!" the black-robed Daoist said in anger; his eyes were widened, and his long beard moved as he spoke.

…

- Outside Yuanyang City -

Mr. Fang slightly frowned.

It seemed that Tang Yu was right about the Nangong Family; this family was indeed hard to deal with. None of the forces in the Deserted Sea Realm was its match.

The two sword slaves who had revived launched even faster and more powerful sword strikes!

With horrifying whistling noises, each sword hacked onto the Golden Sun Wheel with vicious force, ignoring Fang Qi's attacks.

Each strike contained terrifying force, and the huge colliding noises were deafening!

"This kid is indeed powerful…" Standing on the city wall, the Castellan watched the battle with squinted eyes and slightly shook his head. "But still, he's not strong enough. It seems that he has indeed obtained treasures from a relic."

"However, these treasures are not enough for him to challenge the Nangong Family. He is too overconfident."

"So powerful… This great power comes from only two sword slaves." The cultivators standing on the Cloud Sea Square clicked their tongues in fear, knowing that they shouldn't offend people of the Nangong Family unless absolutely necessary. After all, this family had more than two sword slaves!

"This kid is overestimating himself…"

"He's finished now!"

It seemed that the sword slaves had no weaknesses. They were powerful and fearless towards any weapons or spiritual treasures. As if they could never die, every time they were cut into pieces by Fang Qi's Golden Moon Wheel, they would quickly recover. The most horrifying thing was that they recovered even faster after being killed each time as if they were getting used to these attacks!

 "Whenever the sword slaves appear, they won't stop until the targets are dead. It's indeed so…"

The sword slaves were terrifying! Faced with such a force, the other cultivators could do nothing but be killed!

"Look! That kid's spiritual treasures can only inflict very little damage to the sword slaves now!"

"This kid's spiritual essence should be running out… This Nangong Family has such an unimaginable power and method!" an old cultivator heaved a heavy sigh.

At this moment, several members of Nangong Family standing in the crowd snickered at the sight. "You dare to mess with the Nangong Family? You're tired of living, eh? Sword slaves, kill him!"

However, at this moment, Fang Qi suddenly withdrew the Golden Sun Wheel!

"What's happening?!"

"Is he looking to be killed?!"

While they were wondering, Fang Qi's aura suddenly changed.

A surge of extremely terrifying sword spirit shot up into the sky! It seemed this sword spirit came from Heaven and had the power to pull the sky and the earth.

Meanwhile, a vague cold shadow appeared behind Fang Qi, looking down on the creatures in the area with aloofness. 

Subconsciously, a sense of fear rose in everyone's heart.

All the swords flew out from the cultivators' belts or storage bags on their own and bent forward as if they were wors.h.i.+pping their G.o.d.

"Hu!" Fang Qi blew out a mouthful of smoke. At this moment, his potential was stimulated to the limit, and his mind was as clear as the G.o.ds'. It seemed like he finally understood one thing. "Be careful of the people who are controlled by swords…"

Heavenly Sword!

The most powerful sword control technique of the Shu Mountain Faction—Sword G.o.d!

Unlike last time where Sword G.o.d created a curtain of swords covering the sky, this time, Sword G.o.d unleashed a force that no one could resist, engulfing everything with almighty presence.

Meanwhile, the two sword slaves struggled violently. Faint and weird light flashed inside the cloaks as if a streak of horrifying, unrivaled force that no one could control was fighting for the control of their bodies.

"Ahhh!"

Suddenly, the two sword slaves let out shrill screams!

Boom! Boom!

The figures and the swords instantly exploded on their own and turned into ashes.

All the people held their breaths at this strange scene!

The sword slaves who were extremely horrifying and had almost no weakness in their eyes had just imploded?!

What was that G.o.d-like shadow which looked like a surge of horrifying sword spirit coming from Heaven?!

Many questions swirled in their mind while they stared at the young man before them in horror.

Then, Mr. Fang landed from the sky and extinguished the cigarette b.u.t.t. "Do you have a garbage can? Let me throw this away."

"…"
