Cultivating With The Nine Dragons System

When he saw the small bottle containing the dragon saliva in Wang Hao's hand, the old man finally came to his senses. This year's examination of the Qilin Academy wasn't over yet.    

    

Before the old man could speak, a voice came from afar.    

    

"I'm afraid the three of them really don't know what has happened. Since that's the case, everyone can leave now! Leave the investigation of this incident to the Black Fan Sect!"    

    

It was impossible to tell the age of this voice, but it carried an extremely powerful dignity. As soon as he finished speaking, all the experts present left one after another.    

    

Soon, the number of experts present was reduced by three quarters.    

    

Wang Hao looked around and saw that the remaining martial artists' clothes were all embroidered with golden Qilin patterns.    

    

Only then did the three of them realize that the place they were at was ancient and had an ancient style.    

    

Wang Hao thought to himself, "This must be the Qilin Academy, right?"    

    

The old man took the bottle from Wang Hao's hand. He opened the cork, placed it under his nose, and sniffed it carefully.    

    

"That's right, it's dragon saliva!"    

    

The old man put the dragon saliva into his sleeve and said to Wang Hao, "Come with me!"    

    

Wang Hao followed closely behind, while Jia Houwei and Bai Qi were arranged to go somewhere else.    

    

The Qilin Academy was extraordinarily large. Wang Hao followed the old man for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but still, he didn't reach his destination.    

    

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Wang Hao carefully observed every corner of the Qilin Academy. He was surprised to find that on every building in the academy, there was a special Talisman.    

    

Wang Hao could recognize these Talismen, but what puzzled him was that these symbols didn't seem to have any connection with each other.    

    

"Strange, since there is no connection between them, why did you carve them on the building?"    

    

The old man seemed to have noticed Wang Hao's interest in the surrounding Talisman. He asked, "You are proficient in Talisman Arts?"    

    

Wang Hao replied modestly, "I am not proficient in it. I am just dabbling in it."    

    

"En."    

    

The old man didn't take Wang Hao's words to heart. In his point of view, it was already heaven defying for Wang Hao to be able to obtain the first place at the second level of the Heavenly Martial realm at such a young age.    

    

The old man believed that a genius like Wang Hao would spend 90% of his energy on cultivation. Even if Wang Hao knew the Talisman Arts, he would still be at the ninth level of the Nine Paths, not worth mentioning.    

    

After the old man asked this question, he fell silent once more. Wang Hao had just gotten some free time, so he continued to observe the runes on the surrounding buildings.    

    

He even activated the bloodline of the Nixi, and memorized all the positions of the Talisman in his mind.    

    

The more the Talisman was recorded, the more surprised Wang Hao became. When he remembered the 628th Talisman, his expression suddenly changed!    

    

In Wang Hao's mind, all the Talisman began to light up. Immediately after, the position of the Talisman began to move irregularly and finally stabilized.    

    

The originally unconnected Talisman simultaneously released a dazzling light, connecting with each other and forming a peerless grand array!    

    

Because he didn't see all the Talisman carved in the Qilin Academy, the grand formation in Wang Hao's mind wasn't complete. However, Wang Hao still immediately guessed the name of this formation!    

    

Mountain Sea Map!    

    

When he obtained Lin Xiao's inheritance, Lin Xiao had asked Wang Hao to kill one person - Demon Sovereign Shuangye!    

    

Of course, the Demon Sovereign had already become a supreme being.    

    

It was unknown who was right and who was wrong in the conflict between Shuangye and Lin Xiao. However, Lin Xiao and Shuangye had once created the Heaven Rank Great Formation with the Frost Night Vast Wave Array as the center of the formation. It was the Mountain Sea Map!    

    

Wang Hao was shocked in his heart, "In this world, only Shuangye and I know how to use the Mountain Sea Map. According to what Lin Xiao said, this Mountain Sea Map was the ultimate technique that Shuangye was most proud of. How could it be carved in the Qilin Academy? Aren't you afraid that others will learn it secretly? "    

    

Just as Wang Hao was deep in thought, the old man in front of him stopped in his tracks.    

    

"We're here."    

    

Wang Hao woke up from his thoughts and realized that he had unknowingly followed the old man to a courtyard.    

    

The old man waved his hand and a stone table and two stone stools appeared out of thin air in the originally empty courtyard.    

    

On the stone table, there was a bamboo wine that was being boiled by a charcoal stove, emitting hot steam.    

    

The old man took the lead to sit down and poured himself double the amount of hot wine. After that, he placed the wine vessel on the opposite side of the stone table.    

    

He gently took a sip of the wine, and the serious expression on the old man's face eased up a lot. He waved his hand at Wang Hao.    

    

"Come and sit!"    

    

Wang Hao was not too restrained. He sat opposite the old man and waited for him to speak.    

    

The old man took another two sips of hot wine and put down the wine cup. He sighed and said, "Do you know how many people the Qilin Academy recruited this year?"    

    

"Nine."    

    

There were only nine people who could climb to the peak of the Empty Island.    

    

Although Wang Hao said so, he knew in his heart that there were only eight young warriors who had entered the Qilin Academy this year.    

    

Jia Houwei was a wanted criminal of the Black Fan Sect. Although he had passed the test by impersonating Geng Jian, he could never borrow another person's identity for the rest of his life. He could guarantee that nothing would go wrong.    

    

Of course, Jia Houwei and Geng Jian could bring the Shapeshifting Shadow again and let Geng Jian join the Qilin Academy.    

    

However, such an outcome was nothing more than exposing Jia Houwei's fake identity. The entire test had been monitored, and everyone knew about Jia Houwei's fighting style.    

    

Jia Houwei used a blade, while Geng Jian used a blade. It was a Flying Dagger.    

    

Once Geng Jian joined the academy, he would definitely be discovered by others. At that time, the consequences would be very serious.    

    

Therefore, the only feasible way was to wait until next year, when everyone came to forget about Geng Jian, he would take the test again. Of course, just in case, he would also make some changes.    

    

Hearing Wang Hao's answer, the old man sighed again. "That's right, there are only nine people, and last year, we recruited 32 people!"    

    

"The year before last, the academy recruited sixty-nine people!"    

    

"Why?" Wang Hao did not understand. "Those who participated in the examination were all geniuses from the 36 outer domains. There might be differences in strength among them, but they are also considered the best among the young human warriors. Why did you exclude them?"    

    

The old man explained, "The real reason is that you will gradually find out in the next few decades. It's for your own good that I won't tell you now."    

    

Wang Hao frowned. He could feel that the old man wasn't lying to him.    

    

He thought in his heart, Could it be that some catastrophe is about to befall Essence Martial Continent? Is it coming from the abyss, or is it a power that I don't know about? "    

    

The old man said in a deep voice, "We keep increasing the difficulty of the yearly assessment in order to select the more talented geniuses! You are the future hope of this continent. "    

    

"What you need to know now is only one thing, and that is to do everything you can, burn your potential and talent! Make yourself stronger!"    

    

Wang Hao nodded, "Of course."    

    

The old man was very satisfied with Wang Hao's answer. He said, "You have obtained the first place in this year's Freshmen Examination. The academy will reward you handsomely."    

    

After saying that, the old man took out a silver token from his bosom and handed it to Wang Hao.    

    

"After obtaining this token, you will become a member of the Qilin Academy. There are ten thousand points in this token, ten times more than the other freshmen."    

    

Wang Hao took the token silently. The token was exquisitely made, and the materials used were extremely precious. This showed how generous the Qilin Academy was.    

    

"Besides that, you can choose one of these martial skills."    

    

The old man waved his hand and three Jade Cylinders appeared on the stone table in front of Wang Hao.    

    

"I know you are good at using swords. These three Jade Cylinders record a type of sword technique. The quality is the same, but the style is vastly different. Choose by yourself!"    

    

Wang Hao's expression was solemn as he picked up the first Jade Cylinder. He injected a trace of essence energy into the Jade Cylinder, and immediately saw the description of the martial technique.    

    

"Ling Tian Sword Technique, martial technique, second grade Earth Rank. This sword technique's sharpness surpasses that of a second grade Earth Rank martial technique. Ling Tian's sword technique can shatter the heavens and shatter the earth!"    

    

In addition to the introduction, the effect of the sword skill was also recorded within the Jade Cylinder. A martial artist could be seen holding the Long Sword and executing Ling Tian's Single Slice at the Ocean.    

    

The sword light splashed in all directions. The entire ocean was like a storm, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled. It was as if heaven and earth were collapsing.    

    

Wang Hao couldn't help but praise, "What a domineering sword technique!"    

    

However, Wang Hao didn't choose the Lingtian Sword Technique immediately. He picked up the second Jade Cylinder and poured his Origin Energy into it.    

    

"Profound Void Sword Technique, a martial skill of the second level of the Earth Rank. This sword technique is the most profound of all second level Earth Rank martial skills. With a single thrust, Hundred Mile Void Underworld!"    

    

After the introduction, it was also the image of an old man executing the Profound Void Sword Technique. The old man waved the Long Sword in his hand, and sword shadows filled the sky. It was a profound technique, and Wang Hao was stunned for a moment.    

    

"As expected of a second grade Earth Rank sword skill. The profoundness behind it is that I can't completely see through it with just this sword shadow."    

    

"I wonder how powerful this third sword technique is."    

    

Wang Hao picked up the third Jade Cylinder. This Jade Cylinder was strange and had a hint of coldness in it.    

    

"Waterdrop Sword Technique, martial skill, second grade Earth Rank. This martial skill has a total of three realms, and each of them is excellent."    

    

What made Wang Hao curious was that there was no image of a martial artist using the Waterdrop Sword Technique's Jade Cylinder.    

    

Wang Hao looked at the old man and asked, "Senior, why is there only an introduction to this Waterdrop Sword Technique?"    

    

The old man shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say this. This Waterdrop Sword Technique was created by a supreme expert in the ancient times when he was young. There are three styles of the Waterdrop Sword Technique, and each style is several times stronger than the previous style."    

    

Wang Hao replied with a question, "According to your description, how can this sword technique only be at the second grade of the Earth Rank?"    

    

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. If this Waterdrop Sword Technique can be used to its full potential... The quality of this ___ was naturally not only second grade Earth Rank, but it also made people feel ashamed. Yes. Throughout all these years, there hasn't been a single person in the Qilin Academy... After learning the last two styles, one can only use the power of the first style. To evaluate the quality."    

    

"There's actually such a thing?!" Wang Hao was shocked, "There are as many powerful warriors as the clouds in the Qilin Academy, and there are even some Divine Martial Stage warriors. There must be some grandmasters of the Sword Dao among them, but even they are unable to learn the second two moves of the Waterdrop Sword Technique."    

    

Wang Hao's heart moved, and he once again injected his Yuan energy into the Jade Cylinder.    

    

This time, he carefully analyzed it. Although he couldn't see the detailed records, he could feel a familiar fluctuation.    

    

"It's the righteousness of the Sword Dao!"    

    

A smile appeared on Wang Hao's face. In his heart, he said, "There's actually a Sword Dao Fragment hidden within this Waterdrop Sword Technique!"    

    

Thinking of this, Wang Hao made up his mind without hesitation.    

    

"I choose the Waterdrop Sword Technique!"
