Invincible Martial King

"What does Teacher Yu mean by this?"    

Yao Jie could not help but ask. Although he had heard part of the information regarding Dagan Academic Palace from the Heavenly Star Sect before, this was still the first time he had heard about the competition between the two academies.    

"The competition between the two academies is between the students of the East Branch and West Campus. There will be a competition held every year at the end of the year, and those who stand out in the competition will receive rich rewards from the academy. For both students and teachers, this is a huge honor."    

Yu Hao looked at the trio and explained in a deep voice.    

"However, all of you are still new students. You will naturally not pay any attention to what Zhang Feng has said." Yu Hao pondered for a moment and reminded them with good intentions. The reason why Zhang Feng would specially look for trouble with them today was most likely because of him. He did not want to implicate Lu Chen and the others.    

"Since this is a competition, when the time comes, I will naturally be able to participate. I will also be able to see what kind of methods that Zhang laoshi has brought along his students."    

Unexpectedly, Lu Chen smiled and said indifferently. Although his tone was very calm, Yu Hao could hear a hint of sharpness in his tone.    

"That's right."    

"I thought that all the Dagan Academic Palace teachers were seniors that were respected by others, but who would have thought that there would still be such a person. At that time, even if my cultivation is high enough, I would have to compete on stage and help Teacher Yu and the East Branch vent their anger." Wu Tie nodded his head and said seriously.    

Although Lu Qiaoer didn't say anything, she nodded her bright and clean chin.    

"Alright, let's not talk about these unhappy things."    

"Kid, you're amazing. You actually gave us such a big surprise the moment we joined the academy. If the dean knew about this, who knows how happy he would be."    

Yu Hao smiled and then looked at Lu Chen as he sighed. Even though he was a teacher in the Dagan Academic Palace and had experienced many great waves, this was the first time a outstanding student like Lu Chen had seen someone using innate Martial Master Stage to break into the Soul Spring to be baptized. Not only did he complete the baptism, he also broke through the First Layer Of Sect Master from the innate to the martial dao and if news of this speed of improvement were to spread, who knows how many people's jaws would drop.    

"However, don't be happy too early."    

"You are already the champion of Hundred Sects Meeting, and now that there's been such a disturbance, I think there will be quite a few people looking for you. At that time, you'll have to be careful."    

"The students in the academy have quite a few ruthless characters. They are not the least bit inferior to you." Yu Hao looked at Lu Chen and reminded him solemnly.    

"Thank you for Teacher Yu's reminder, I will pay attention." Hearing this, Liu Tie nodded his head. Yu Hao's words did not just mean what he said on the surface, they seemed to mean what he said.    

"Let's go. I'll take you guys to arrange your residences. From now on, you'll all cultivate in the academy."    

Yu Hao signaled Lu Chen and the other two to follow him as they headed to another area.    

Under his lead, the three of them quickly arrived at another mountain peak. On the peak of the mountain, there were many palaces. Each of the palaces was not only tall and majestic, but also resplendent and magnificent.    

On the bluestone path that led to the palace, a tall stone gate stood upright. Astonishingly, the words "East Branch Hall" were written in large golden paint.    

An old man was leaning against the pillar under the stone door.    

The old man's gray hair looked disheveled, and he had a short, stiff moustache. His brown eyes were sunken in his sockets.    

The elder looked up and noticed Yu Hao's figure. He squeezed out a smile and took the initiative to greet him, "Oh, Teacher Yu, why are you here?"    

He seemed to be quite familiar with Yu Hao and was very friendly.    

"Old Man Gao."    

"They are all new students of the East District, so I brought them here to check in."    

"Students of the East District?"    

"According to previous years, the top one hundred young warriors of Hundred Sects Meeting have yet to pass the examination, right? "Could it be that they are …" The old man suddenly seemed to have thought of something and his gaze towards Lu Chen and the other two brightened.    

"That's right."    

"All three of them were top three in Hundred Sects Meeting, but they chose to join our East Branch." Yu Hao nodded with a smile.    

"Top three?" "Oh my god."    

"It's been who knows how many years since our East Branch has last joined the ranks of the top ten youngsters in Hundred Sects Meeting. I didn't expect that all three of our top rankers would have joined this time. It's truly like the heavens are looking after our East Branch."    

"In the next competition, our East Branch might even show off."    

Hearing this, the elder couldn't help but laugh as if he was extremely happy.    

"Teacher Yu, hurry and bring them in."    

"There are many empty palaces on the east side of the city which allow them to choose their residences." The old man said to Yu Hao with a smile.    

"Thank you, Elder Gao."    

Yu Hao nodded and immediately led Lu Chen and the others into the stone door.    

"Hmm?"    

Suddenly, Lu Chen didn't know if it was intentional or not, but he felt that the old man's gaze was fixed on him for a moment. However, when he turned around, the old man's expression remained normal.    

Lu Chen's heart tightened. He looked at the old man for a moment and frowned slightly. The old man did not have any aura, but the feeling he got was that of a dormant giant beast.    

The old man seemed to have noticed Lu Chen's strangeness. He turned around and grinned at him, appearing to be particularly amiable.    

Lu Chen nodded and followed Yu Hao's footsteps.    

"Young people nowadays really have many secrets."    

The old man watched Lu Chen and the others leave. He immediately leaned back against the stone block. His back appeared somewhat blurry and lonely.    

"Teacher Yu, who is this old man?"    

"I looked at him seriously just now and found that his aura is unfathomable. Could he also be a teacher of our academy?" Yao Jie couldn't help but ask after hesitating for a moment.    

On the side, Lu Chen's eyes also flashed. It was also difficult for him to see through the old man's body.    

Elder Gao is the gatekeeper of this area, so even though he's a bit old, he doesn't dare to offend even us teachers. As for his identity, you don't need to know it as long as you don't offend him.    

Yu Hao smiled and warned him seriously.    

Hearing that, Yao Jie nodded as if he had thought of something. Lu Chen frowned and didn't say anything.    

After entering the palace, he found that it was even more spacious than he had imagined. Each of the grand palaces seemed to emit an ancient aura that seemed to have existed for a long time.    

"This place is so big."    

Even Lu Qiaoer, who came from the Imperial City's Lu Family, couldn't help but let out a sigh after entering this place. The surroundings were like a real palace city, every palace's area was abnormally spacious, and the spirit energy of heaven and earth was extremely dense, far stronger than the Imperial City by several times.
