Xu Nian sparred with the Lei Family Ancestor, showcasing his new Great Void Skill. Tang Wu advised Xu Nian to seek out a Divine-level Wind Attribute expert to speed up his comprehension of the Great Tao. Xu Nian decided to visit the director of Moyang Sword Academy, with Tang Wu and Lei Family Ancestor accompanying him. Upon arrival, they were granted an audience with the director, who greeted Tang Wu as his junior brother.

Tang Wu regarded the Director of Moyang Sword Academy with clear displeasure evident on his face.

It appeared his sentiments towards this senior brother were far from favorable.

However, the Moyang Sword Academy Director showed no signs of anger; in fact, he seemed quite pleased.

Tang Wu's arrival filled him with particular excitement.

"Junior Brother, have you finally made up your mind to join our Moyang Sword Academy?" the Director inquired with a smile.

"You're mistaken. I've already stated that I will not be joining your Moyang Sword Academy," Tang Wu responded curtly.

"It's quite alright, you can certainly reconsider," the Moyang Sword Academy Director seemed prepared for Tang Wu's refusal.

His gaze then shifted towards Xu Nian and the Lei Family Ancestor.

He couldn't help but take a second, more scrutinizing look at the Lei Family Ancestor.

It was evident that he had recognized the Lei Family Ancestor as a Divine-level Expert.

"This esteemed individual has already reached the Mid-grade Divine level? And has also comprehended the Thunder Attribute Dao? Would you perhaps consider teaching at our Moyang Sword Academy?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director's eyes gleamed as he posed the question directly.

Xu Nian felt a twinge of surprise.

This Moyang Sword Academy Director possessed truly remarkable insight.

To discern the Lei Family Ancestor's cultivation level so swiftly, it suggested his own cultivation was at least at the Mid-grade Divine level.

"I am Lei Tianxing, a humble Loose Cultivator, and I have no intention of joining any particular faction," the Lei Family Ancestor replied with composure.

"Not even willing to consider it?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director pressed further.

The Lei Family Ancestor simply shook his head.

"Li Moyang, you would be wise to abandon any hope of recruiting him. He will not join your Moyang Sword Academy," Tang Wu declared with a sneer.

The Moyang Sword Academy Director let out a chuckle. "It’s perfectly fine, I was merely making an inquiry. Brother Lei, if you are not interested, I understand completely. You must have other important matters for visiting, correct?"

"Indeed, we have come with the intention of having a spar with you," Tang Wu confirmed.

"A spar? Excellent! Junior Brother, it has been quite some time since we last crossed swords," the Moyang Sword Academy Director responded with palpable excitement.

"Not me," Tang Wu clarified, shaking his head.

"Then it must be Brother Lei? That is also acceptable; I am eager to experience the formidable power of the Thunder Attribute Dao for myself," the Moyang Sword Academy Director chuckled.

"Neither of us!" the Lei Family Ancestor interjected with a wry smile.

"Not you? Then who could it be?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director inquired with curiosity.

Observing the situation, Xu Nian felt compelled to step forward.

"Senior, it is I who wishes to spar. I would be honored if you would indulge me," Xu Nian stated.

"You? You are no match for me," the Moyang Sword Academy Director remarked, assessing Xu Nian.

"Indeed, I am fully aware of that. My sole desire is to spar with you to gain a deeper understanding of the Wind Attribute Great Dao. I humbly request your guidance and enlightenment," Xu Nian replied.

"To comprehend the mysteries of the Wind Attribute Great Dao? You have not even reached the Divine level yet; how could you possibly grasp the Great Dao?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director questioned, a hint of confusion in his voice.

"Hmph, Li Moyang, you underestimate him. Even the most exceptionally talented disciples within your Moyang Sword Academy likely cannot compare. While you perceive his cultivation as merely at the Nether Emperor level, observe the exceptional quality of his soul origin," Tang Wu stated with disdain.

"Oh? His soul possesses Divine-level quality? How can this be possible? Without enduring the Divine Tribulation and achieving Godhood fusion, how could his soul quality possibly reach such a divine standard?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director exclaimed in profound surprise.

He then regarded Xu Nian with the awe typically reserved for a rare anomaly.

"By a fortunate turn of events, I encountered certain unique opportunities," Xu Nian explained.

"Young man, such fortuitous encounters are exceedingly rare, perhaps one in a million," the Moyang Sword Academy Director commented, clearly astonished.

"Senior, you are too kind with your words," Xu Nian responded with practiced humility.

"Young man, are you perhaps willing to join our Moyang Sword Academy?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director's eyes brightened considerably as he posed the question once more.

Xu Nian found himself momentarily at a loss for words.

Just how incredibly eager was this Moyang Sword Academy Director to bolster the ranks of his academy?

"Senior, I am deeply grateful for your generous offer. However, my current plan is to participate in the Netherworld God Temple examination in the coming months," Xu Nian replied.

"The Netherworld God Temple examination? Young man, although your soul quality has achieved the Divine level, without comprehending a Great Dao, undertaking the Netherworld God Temple examination would be akin to courting certain death. Joining our Moyang Sword Academy would undoubtedly be a far more secure path," the Moyang Sword Academy Director immediately cautioned.

Xu Nian couldn't help but feel a mixture of amusement and exasperation at the Director's persistent recruitment efforts.

"Senior, I genuinely only seek to spar and acquire a few techniques from you at this moment, and I do not intend to join the Moyang Sword Academy," Xu Nian stated.

"Since you are unwilling to enlist in the Moyang Sword Academy, why should I engage in a spar with you?" the Director of Moyang Sword Academy promptly retorted.

Xu Nian found himself in a state of mild helplessness.

It appeared the Director of Moyang Sword Academy was intent on compelling him to join their institution.

"Li Moyang, you *will* spar today, whether you wish it or not. If you refuse, I shall disclose what you did in the past to Junior Sister," Tang Wu declared with a sneer.

"Junior Brother, no, I implore you, do not! I will spar, is that acceptable?" The Director of Moyang Sword Academy immediately responded with a fawning laugh.

Tang Wu merely offered another sneer, his expression radiating disdain.

Xu Nian was quite taken aback. What sort of leverage could Tang Wu possibly possess over the Moyang Sword Academy Director to instill such fear?

"Junior Brother, is this individual your disciple? Why are you assisting him so fervently?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director inquired.

"Hmph, that is none of your concern," Tang Wu retorted, rolling his eyes.

The Moyang Sword Academy Director was left without recourse.

"As we are to engage in a spar, this location is unsuitable. Young man, accompany me to the martial arena," the Moyang Sword Academy Director proposed.

"Very well, I am agreeable to following your arrangements," Xu Nian replied.

Subsequently, the group proceeded to the martial arena of Moyang Sword Academy.

The martial arena of Moyang Sword Academy was remarkably expansive, occupying an entire hillside, and its ground was paved with exceptionally resilient Divine Stones, proving exceedingly durable.

At this juncture, a considerable number of disciples from Moyang Sword Academy were engaged in cultivation on the plaza.

Upon perceiving the arrival of the Moyang Sword Academy Director, they all adopted expressions of profound respect.

"Dean!"

"Dean!"

The assembled disciples offered their greetings in unison.

"You may all disperse; I intend to spar with this young friend within the martial arena. Should you desire, you may remain and observe," the Moyang Sword Academy Director announced with a smile.

Instantly, a murmur swept through the assembled crowd.

All the disciples cast curious glances at Xu Nian.

This young man was slated to spar with their Director?

Their Director was a Divine-level expert; who was this youth to possess the capability to spar with the Director?

Observing him, it seemed he had not yet reached the Divine level?

The disciples buzzed with speculation.

It was evident they were attempting to ascertain Xu Nian's cultivation level and identity.

In the face of the crowd's discussions, Xu Nian maintained an unperturbed expression.

He understood this was a deliberate tactic by the Moyang Sword Academy Director.

The intention was to expose him to the scrutiny and doubt of numerous Moyang Sword Academy disciples.

Xu Nian paid this no mind whatsoever.

He turned his head, scanning his surroundings, but the familiar figure was nowhere to be seen.

This absence left him with a slight sense of disappointment.

"Youngster, you still have time to reconsider. Otherwise, do not blame me for any embarrassment you face later," the Moyang Sword Academy Director stated, a smile playing on his lips.

"I have no regrets; losing to you, Director, is not a cause for embarrassment whatsoever," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"Brave youngster, then let us commence," the Moyang Sword Academy Director expressed, a flicker of appreciation showing.

Regardless of other factors, this young man's composure is truly commendable.
