Over the next month, Xu Nian furiously cultivated under the guidance of Emperor Ye Tian.

    The "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus," which no one had ever successfully cultivated, was also mastered by Xu Nian, after all, his realm had directly broken through to the Eight-star Warrior Realm.

    Originally, the reason no one was able to cultivate this "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus" was that a crucial element of the Combat Technique had been altered by someone. It was only perfected after Emperor Ye Tian corrected it.

    At first, Xu Nian wanted Emperor Ye Tian to teach him some more powerful Combat Techniques, but to his surprise, Emperor Ye Tian said that the "Dan Sea Species Green Lotus" was not inferior to her own Combat Techniques and that it was created by an ancient Divine Emperor known as the Green Emperor, possessing endless wonderful uses.

    At first, Xu Nian did not believe it, but after he truly started cultivating the technique, he realized that Emperor Ye Tian had not deceived him, and the technique was indeed more magical than he had imagined.

    Now, although his cultivation was only at the level of an Eight-star Warrior, the storage of Spiritual Energy inside his body was already no less than those First-star Warriors of the Star Realm. Xu Nian could hardly imagine what kind of miraculous changes would occur when he broke through to a One-star Warrior and condensed his Spirit Sea.

    During this month, Xu Nian also pushed all the moves of the Ling Feng Thirteen Swords to the Subtle Realm, and even the first three moves of the thirteen reached the Realm of Divine Transformation.

    Now, even if he were to use his Spiritual Cultivation to face Tie Shan, although he might not kill him, it was certainly not impossible for him to give Tie Shan no advantage at all.

    A month of hard cultivation greatly improved Xu Nian''s cultivation.

    As for his Divine Demon Refining Body Cultivation, although it did not progress, it became more solidified and had reached the peak of the First-star of the Star Realm.

    "Bang, bang, bang!"

    Just as Xu Nian was preparing to continue secluded cultivation, his door was knocked upon.

    Without thinking, Xu Nian knew it must be Chen Wudi.

    Sure enough, when Xu Nian opened the door, he saw Chen Wudi standing outside with an urgent expression.

    "What''s up? Has a beauty from the Beauty List made an appearance again?" Xu Nian jested.No?v(el)B\\jnn

    Chen Wudi couldn''t help but give Xu Nian a white look and said, "Cut the nonsense, come with me quickly, this is a big deal. Our Basic-level students from the Spirit Academy are being bullied."

    "By whom?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

    At the plaza where the basic-level students of the Spirit Academy were gathered, a large crowd had formed.

    The crowd was divided into two groups, each wearing the same white academy robes with a single character embroidered on the chest. One group had the character ''Body'' while the other bore the character ''Spirit.''

    Indeed, those wearing robes with the ''Body'' character were students of the Body Institute, and those with the ''Spirit'' character were from the Spirit Academy. The white academy robes represented their status as basic-level students.

    A few steps away stood several students in green attire, some from Spirit Academy, some from Body Institute. They were just watching from the sidelines and didn''t intervene, since it was against the rules for higher-level students to interfere in the disputes of lower-level ones.

    The atmosphere on the field was particularly intense at the moment, with three Spirit Academy basic-level students lying on the ground, their clothes disheveled and in utter disarray.

    Standing in the middle of these three Spirit Academy students was a Body Institute basic-level student with an arrogant demeanor. Looking down at the three defeated underlings writhing on the ground, he sneered, "What a bunch of trash, three of you can''t even beat me alone. I don''t understand how there can be such a gap between us when we''re all at the basic nine stars. It seems to me that the basic-level students of Spirit Academy are nothing but waste."

    As soon as these words came out, the basic-level students of Spirit Academy all bristled with indignation, their eyes burning with rage.

    The Body Institute basic-level students, on the other hand, wore proud and mocking expressions, clearly delighted to have crushed the prestige of Spirit Academy.

    "Dragon God, don''t get too cocky. When the number one genius of our basic-level Spirit Academy students arrives, you''ll get what''s coming to you. Don''t think you''re the only one who can defeat a One-star Warrior of the Star Realm at the nine-star level. Our Xu Nian can do just the same," a Spirit Academy basic-level student shouted defiantly.

    "Yes, when Xu Nian comes, let''s see how arrogant you are then. He''s the top among us basic-level students of Spirit Academy."

    As that student shouted, a chorus of voices chimed in, instantly elevating Xu Nian to the position of number one among the basic-level students of Spirit Academy.

    "Xu Nian? Fine, let him come out. I want to see if he dares to claim to be the number one in Spirit Academy''s basic level in front of me, Dragon God. I bet he won''t dare show up; otherwise, why hasn''t he appeared yet? Some ''number one of Spirit Academy,'' I say he''s nothing but a turtle hiding its head," the self-proclaimed Dragon God from the Body Institute scoffed.

    His words immediately drew raucous laughter from the students of the Body Institute behind him.

    The students from Spirit Academy, meanwhile, all had ashen faces, feeling aggrieved.

    "It''s probably you who wouldn''t dare call yourself the Dragon God in front of me!"

    Just then, a mocking laugh came from afar.

    The students of Spirit Academy all turned toward the source of the voice, and as they caught sight of the newcomer, their faces lit up with joy.
