“Can Ye, we should set out quickly. I already received reliable news that the Restore Heaven Academy will formally open in half a year. Going there earlier, we might be able to know the contents of the exam and prepare for it,” someone urged.
“Oh, it’s going to be half a year before Restore Heaven Academy opens?” Ling Han interjected. He might as well take advantage of this gap in time to search for the whereabouts of Boundless Mountain.
“What does it have to do with you?” A pretty boy looked impatiently at Ling Han, revealing a look of contempt; could this brat also be thinking of going to the Restore Heaven Academy? What a real joke. A man already in his twenties and only at the Spiritual Infant Tier… if this could get in Restore Heaven Academy, wouldn’t it be a joke?
They were recruiting the elites of the world, the prodigies of prodigies, and only people like them were qualified to enter.
“Chou Zi Fei, what are you suggesting?” Can Ye looked balefully at that pretty boy, unhesitatingly unleashing his long saber and pointing it at that person.
“Can Ye, for this good-for-nothing, you would actually draw your sword at this young master?” That pretty boy called Chou Zi Fei looked full of astonishment. He completely didn’t expect Can Ye would suddenly turn hostile towards him for a mere Spiritual Infant Tier.
“Apologize!” Can Ye said coldly, his gaze like a saber, baring a murderous aura.
In his eyes, Ling Han was a benefactor and an idol he worshiped, yet Chou Zi Fei dared to show contempt for Ling Han… It obviously made his killing intent burn.
“Can Ye, seeing that your talent isn’t bad, I associated with you, but don’t think that you really have the right to sit as equals with this young master!”
“Whatever, whatever. Everyone’s friends, no need to make it unpleasant!” A man came forward with a smile to ease the situation, and said, “Since you guys are going to Restore Heaven Academy, then let’s go together.”
Chou Zi Fei wanted to oppose at once—to travel with a nobody? However, before he spoke any word of objection, a man stopped him, and said in a low voice near his ear, “Won’t messing with this brat will be quite interesting?”
Hearing this, his thoughts to object came to an end, and he simply looked coldly at Ling Han before he left dejectedly, thinking that he would definitely make it unbearable for this guy in the following days.
Although Can Ye didn’t want to drop the matter, seeing Ling Han shake his head, he sheathed his long saber. The situation eased up at last.
Chapter 604

Everyone introduced themselves—except for Can Ye and Chou Zi Fei. The other four young men were called Cen Jian Sen, Yu Yuan Ming, Zou Kai Ji, Fan Wen Lin, respsectively, while the only girl, the one in red clothing, was called He Lan Yun.
The majority of martial artists were men. Women were the minority to begin with, and even less could cultivate to the Flower Blossom Tier. Since He Yun Lan was a splendid beauty, she was someone even harder to come by.
Thus, Chou Zi Fei and the others all circled around He Yun Lan. However, He Yun Lan seemed to have a favorable impression of Can Ye, and didn’t pay attention to the ingratiation of the other people.
Chou Zi Fei and the other four felt it extremely unfortunate.
They also felt unfortunate for Zhu Xuan Er, because from the looks of her figure, she was absolutely perfect, without any flaws. However, when moving their gaze onto her face, anyone would say that heaven was unfair; since she was given such a perfect physique, why was she born with such an average face?
Zhu Xuan Er won the title of number one beauty in the north region just from her figure and revealing a bit of her chin; her figure was too perfect, and a covered face gave people unlimited imagination.
But now, her figure was still perfect, but her face was no longer obscured, obviously not leaving any room for imagination.
This countenance was too ordinary.
The ten people set out again, and when talking about the Restore Heaven Academy, Chou Zi Fei and the others all appeared to be full of confidence, thinking they could definitely enter, and were without a shred of worry.
Chou Zi Fei obviously took to blows at Ling Han from time to time, and said that Restore Heaven Academy’s admittance exam was definitely as difficult as climbing the skies and that even Spiritual Pedestal Tier elites might not qualify to enter, wanting to make a fool of Ling Han.
Ling Han wouldn’t possibly care about it. When it was time for the exam, he would reveal his strength, and this guy would obviously piss his pants in fright. The more Chou Zi Fei boasted now, the harder he would fall in the future.
They travelled by day and slept at night. They all had spatial rings, and at night, they would take out tents and pitch them to cultivate and rest. On the second day, they hastened on their journey again. People shouldn’t forget to cultivate even when outside; only by maintaining optimal condition could they deal with sudden accidents.
After all, the world of martial arts was extremely brutal, and encountering slaughter for no reason was a run-of-the-mill occurence.
As expected, after traveling for three days, they encountered an accident.
Ding, ding, ding, ding , the sounds of a fierce battle were heard in the distance before them, and soon, a few people approached rapidly. On one side was a beauty a little over twenty, wearing a crimson red silk dress and holding a long sword in hand. Her opponents were four scantily clad women with heavy make-up; whether it was attacking or leaping, the two large white rabbits on their chests seemed to bounce out like surging waves.
Comparably, the girl in silk dress was not only young, but also ten times more beautiful, with long slit eyes like water and extremely touching.
These five women were all in the Flower Blossom Tier, and by the looks of the situation, the silk-dressed girl was a notch higher in Tier. However, she wasn’t keen on fighting, and after she fought her way out of the encirclement, she immediately leapt away. It was rather the four beautiful woman that were at her heels.
This was baffling to people; why did she keep running despite having the advantage?
After the four beautiful women chased her for a while, one of them threw out a ribbon at extremely fast speed, instantly catching up to the silk-dressed girl and fastening onto her small waist. With a zi, her figure instantly halted.
The other three beautiful women took advantage of it to charge over, and caught up to the silk-dressed girl, recommencing the fierce battle.
The silk-dressed girl struggled free from the constraint with great difficulty, yet fell into an encirclement again. She could only continue fighting to break through the siege.
“So beautiful!”
“Beautiful as a fairy!”
“She is my type, no one’s allowed to contest with me!”
“Get lost, I’ve also taken a fancy to her!”
Chou Zi Fei and the other four all had their eyes lit up brightly. This silk-dressed beauty was certainly extremely beautiful—a whole lot more than He Lan Yun. The other four women were not bad, but they were older after all, and since advancing into the Flower Blossom Tier slowed down aging, maybe their age was enough to be grandmothers.
The five people wanted to intervene to play out a hero rescues the beauty scenario, naturally giving the them the excuse to strike up a conversation.
“Qin Yi Yue, how could you possibly run from this young master’s grasp!” A voice came from afar, and soon, a luxurious carriage could be seen approaching quickly, drawn by two Jasper Lions. These were ancient relic species; though they were high tier, their bloodline was rare, and they were very seldomly seen.
The carriage was extremely luxurious, reaching fifteen meters in length and ten meters in height, looking like a moving palace. The materials used were extremely exquisite—Purple Pear Wood and Jade Dragon Gold, which were extremely precious and treasured materials, but looking at the designs on the carriage, it made people unceasingly dis
gusted.
They were all extremely vivid and lifelike designs of men and women making love. Just by looking at it, people could imagine the movements and the decadent sounds.
“Wind… Wind Moon Sect!” Cen Jian Sen was first to cry out, his gaze fixed on the flag planted on the carriage, and voice somewhat quivering.
“What!?” Chou Zi Fei and the others all cried out immediately.
The Wind Moon Sect was a super force in the middle state. It wasn’t as powerful as the five great ancient sects, but it also had Heaven Tier elites, and was far from what their backgrounds could compare to.
Instantly, their thoughts of hero rescuing the beauty immediately dimmed.
“Everyone, I am Dark Glory Valley’s Qin Yi Yue, please lend me a hand!” At this time, the silk-dressed girl asked for everyone’s help.
Dark Glory Valley!
Everyone was startled within again. That was also a great force, though much inferior to Wind Moon Sect.
“Qin Yi Yue, why involve others. I am Wind Moon Sect’s sect master’s son, and you’re Dark Glory Valley’s master’s junior disciple; we’re practically a match made in heaven. Hurry and surrender to this young master. This young master will take you into the world of paradise to enjoy the most joyous things between men and women.”
“Hu Qing Fang, don’t kid yourself! Even if I die, I won’t submit to your wishes!” Qin Yi Yue tangled persistently with the four beautiful women while reprimanding, and killing intent was all over her delicate face.
“It’s over, this beauty’s done for!” Yun Yuan Ming said covering his head, appearing to feel extreme pity.
“It’s rumored that Wind Moon Sect’s disciples are all lecherous, viewing the thing between men and women as cultivation. Wind Moon Sect’s sect master is all the more lustful. It’s rumored that he has several hundred wives alone, and the beauties that he’s defiled reach several tens of thousands!”
“Qin Yi Yue being fancied by Wind Moon Sect’s sect master’s son… it’ll definitely be hard to get away!”
“It can’t be helped, we can’t interfere at all!”
“Even if we wanted to interfere, our strength is not enough!”
Chou Zi Fei and the others found excuses for themselves. They all just entered the Flower Blossom Tier; whether it was Qin Yi Yue or the four beautiful women, they were all at least mid-level Flower Blossom Tier—there certainly was somewhat of a gap in tier.
However, for geniuses, this bit difference in tier was actually not much; wasn’t it quite normal to battle surpassing five stars?
They simply didn’t dare to provoke the Wind Moon Sect.
Ling Han laughed, and said, “Can Ye, help!”
“Okay!” Can Ye said no more, and charged right up brandishing his saber.
Chapter 605
Translator: Reverie_ Editor: Kurisu
Can Ye attacked decisively, and with a swing of the saber, nine flashes of Saber Qi dispersed, the saber intent chilling; he was as if a god of war.
His progress was fast as expected, reaching nine flashes of Saber Qi, and only a step away from condensing a Ray.
Martial arts were not just about tiers. In the first layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, some only had one-star battle prowess, yet some could reach five stars, or even ten stars. Can Ye was only at the first layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, but his battle prowess reached seven stars!
This aspect was his personal talent, and the effect of Heavenly Luck Stone, allowing him to obtain additional five stars battle prowess.
As nine flashes of Saber Qi moved unhindered, Can Ye immediately tore open the four beautiful women’s encirclement and joined hands with Qin Yi Yue. Brandishing saber and sword together, they instantly suppressed the four beautiful women.
Originally, Qin Yi Yue already had a slight advantage, let alone now that there was Can Ye whose strength was not much inferior to hers.
“Hmph!” Inside the carriage, Hu Qing Fang’s extremely discontented snort could be heard. He said, “The brat with the severed arm, you dare ruin this young master’s fine occasion?”
Can Ye was not one to speak much to begin with; he simply swung the saber, completely defeating the four beautiful women.
Seeing such battle prowess, Chou Zi Fei and the others turned pale. They knew that Can Ye was strong, which was why they admitted him into their circle, but everyone was still quite conceited, thinking they themselves definitely weren’t inferior to him. Comparing it now, they were obviously shocked.
“Thank you!” Qin Yi Yue said. Amidst the battle, she couldn’t pay attention to courtesy, and simply nodded at Can Ye.
Can Ye was expressionless, extremely cold and detached.
Ling Han sighed—how can you pick up girls like that? She was showing her gratitude towards you, and if you were a bit gentler towards her, maybe you’d fall for each other! Wasn’t someone like him bound to be alone?
“Courting death!” A man, who looked little over twenty, darted out of the carriage. He was in embroidered clothes ornamented by jade and looked quite handsome, but the perverseness on his face was too strong; those eyes couldn’t wish more to strip down all of the clothing on women.
He was obviously Hu Qing Fang.
“Cripple, you dare ruin this young master’s fine matter? You truly are tired of living. See how this young master will put you down!”
Can Ye brandished his long saber, his gaze baleful as he said, “Then I’ll fight.”
Succinct and to the point.
He Lan Yun instantly revealed a besotted look. What she liked was precisely things like Can Ye’s icy cold and fearless personality, but Wind Moon Sect’s young master intervened, and losing or winning were both inappropriate, making her worry again.
“A mere first layer Flower Blossom Tier cripple even dares to be impudent in front of this young master!?” Hu Qing Fang sneered, and attacked Can Ye. The weapon he used was a spiked club covered with symbols; it was now activated, sparkling and emitting a terrifying presence.
Can Ye’s saber was still Nine Hoop Heaven Hero Blade, a fifth tier Spirit Tool, which couldn’t keep up with his tier anymore. But it couldn’t be helped; he was just a fifth tier martial artist who’d crossed into the Flower Blossom Tier not long ago, so how could he possibly obtain a sixth-tier Spirit Tool?
However, he was still fearless, brandishing the long saber with chilling saber intent and charging towards Hu Qing Fang.
Ping, ping, pang, pang , the two battled noisily. Hu Qing Fang was certainly strong. He was at the seventh layer of the Flower Blossom Tier, and his battle prowess reached ten stars, suppressing Can Ye by three stars. Moreover, the weapon in his hand was a sixth tier Spirit Tool, so he obviously had a great advantage.
However, Can Ye was extremely tenacious, and counterattacked repeatedly despite the disadvantageous situation, attacking to defend and fighting so desperately that Hu Qing Fang had to give up on attacks to defend—otherwise, both sides would be defeated and wounded.
For Hu Qing Fang, he was obviously unwilling to be defeated and wounded by Can Ye… firstly, his strength was higher, and secondly, with his identity, how could a “stray martial artist” compare with his noble body?
It was precisely such a qualm that rendered him unable to defeat Can Ye even in the situation where he clearly had the advantage, falling into a stalemate.
Ling Han smiled slightly, and opened up his hand secretly. An arrow of Origin Power condensed, xiu , firing at Hu Qing Fang. Now, no one noticed him, and he intentionally dissolved the color of this arrow that was condensed by Origin Power. Although its power decreased because of this, he didn’t want to take Hu Qing Fang’s life.
As the arrow swept by, Hu Qing Fang wasn’t on his guard at all, and was shot on the knee, instantly staggering and almost falling down.
Can Ye took the chance to strike with his saber, shua , bringing out a splash of blood.
“Ah!” Hu Qing Fang screamed. The saber struck on his shoulder and almost severed
his bones, making him deeply pained. What made him even gloomier was that he actually hadn’t figured out the situation, and just felt his right leg go numb.
What happened?
Zhu Xuan Er and Hu Niu looked towards Ling Han. Others didn’t notice, because they didn’t care about Ling Han, a nobody at the Spiritual Ocean Tier, at all. They both smiled gently; as females, they obviously disliked people like Hu Qing Fang extremely.
However, Hu Qing Fang’s tier was higher after all, and his battle prowess was stronger. The saber wound wasn’t very heavy, either, and he soon pulled himself together, charging back at Can Ye.
Ling Han smiled inwardly. His right hand spread, and another Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow shot out.
His battle prowess now crossed into the Spiritual Infant Tier, and even if he didn’t use a physical bow, this Annihilating Dragon Star Arrow was still extremely formidable. In addition, he also adhered the power of lighting to it, and saw through Hu Qing Fang’s weak spots with the Eye of Truth.
Three Mystical Powers together… Hu Qin Fang should feel honored being hit by them. It was quite the rare occurrence, after all..
Hu Qing Fang staggered once more, and was struck by Can Ye’s saber again.
As other people saw it, it was as if Can Ye already anticipated he would make such an error, waiting there for him in advance. They couldn’t help but be shocked, since such control over a fight was too astounding.
With this “foresight,” Can Ye obviously took the upper hand with an extremely large advantage, striking at Hu Qing Fang to the point where he couldn’t endure it anymore.
After a few dozen moves, he ran into the carriage, and shouted, “Cripple, you dare go against me? You’ve got yourself into big trouble!”
Can Ye swept across his chest, and said, “Comt out to fight!”
There was no way Hu Qing Fang dared to come out. He thought that the sudden numbness in his legs was from some sort of mystic art that Can Ye used. He was already scared out of his wits; this brat didn’t care about his identity as Wind Moon Sect’s sect master’s son, and slashed fatally with each strike. If he fought him any longer, he would truly die here.
