Chapter 6, Imperial Star Academy

"Young Master Wentian, the young ladies and young masters who were training in the royal city have all returned yesterday. The head of the family is in the training ground today, assessing how their training has progressed over the past year." The maid responded.

"Mo Shang, Bai Qiuxue, must enter my Royal Academy." Tang Lin stared at Mo Shang, his tone carrying a hint of provocation.

"Elder brother, you refuse to believe what I say. Nowadays, the Bai family and the people of Chu are closely connected, and I have even heard that members of the Ye family from the imperial city have met with them. Moreover, Bai Qiuxue's talent has already attracted attention from all sides. Do you think the Bai family will still honor this marriage contract?" Qin He said helplessly, causing various expressions to appear on the faces of those present.

The Qin residence is located to the north of Tianyong City, over a hundred miles away from the Bai family. After leaving the Bai family, although Qin Wentian walked briskly, he arrived at the Qin residence only by daylight.

At that moment, a howling wind echoed through the void, prompting everyone to look up at the sky. Their expressions all turned serious as they beheld a giant eagle soaring in the heavens, and upon the eagle, there was a figure clad in a yellow robe.

Thank you for your concern, Brother Mo. My father is well, but he does not like to move around and is unable to come out to receive you in person. Qin Chuan smiled at Mo Shang, feeling a chill in his heart. Mo Shang is from the Imperial Star Academy and has come for Bai Qiuxue. It seems that the Bai family’s decision to break off the engagement is inevitable.

On the day of the Bai family's head's birthday, outside the Bai residence. Qin Yao's gaze froze; this was clearly prepared specifically for Bai Qiuxue alone

Indeed, the recruitment is merely a secondary task; the primary purpose is for Bai Qiu Xue. It is even possible that representatives from the Imperial Star Academy will come, so we cannot afford to be careless

The "old master" he referred to naturally points to General Qin Wu's son, Qin Hao, who is also the father of Qin Chuan, the current head of the Qin family. Before Qin Wu's death, Qin Hao fought alongside his father on the battlefield, earning great prestige within the army. When Qin Wu fell and the late emperor also passed away, the current emperor merely assigned Qin Hao to this Tianyong City with an empty title.

"Yao'er, I have heard that the Qin residence has a marriage contract with Bai Qiu Xue of the Bai family. Is this true?" A middle-aged man in a yellow robe inquired.

"Brother Qin, long time no see. I wonder how your esteemed father is doing," Mo Shang stepped forward and said to Qin Chuan.

Qin Wentian looked at the statue of the marshal and gave a wry smile; his experiences over the past few days were somewhat reminiscent of those he had gone through in the Qin residence

I had thought that the Bai family harbored a powerful figure from the Yuanfu realm, but I did not expect it to be a youth of similar age to Bai Qiuxue. In terms of the strength of stellar power, this child's talent is certainly not inferior to that of Bai Qiuxue. Mo Shangxin silently reflected that this trip was indeed worthwhile.

Returning from the capital of Chu, he was unaware of what realm they had reached. Qin Wentiang silently thought to himself, and then he also lifted his footsteps towards the direction of the Qin family's martial arts arena

Qin Wu, the former general of the State of Chu, commanded the great Chu army, instilling fear across the lands with his remarkable military achievements. He once saved the late emperor in times of peril and sacrificed himself for the nation. However, after Your Majesty ascended to the throne, the Qin residence was relocated to Tianyong City, far from the center of power, and the influence of the Qin military has gradually diminished, leading to a decline in the Qin family over generations

Qinchuan frowned slightly; this person was quite rude, as the giant eagle they rode circled directly above them

"Indeed." Qin Yao nodded and said, "Teacher, what brings you to the Qin residence? Please, take a seat."

Qin Zhi has harnessed the spirit of the fierce tiger star, making him a martial practitioner with enhanced strength. Coupled with the amplification of the Tiger Roar Fist technique, his power is truly formidable

The Qin residence, of course, is no exception. Among Qin Wentian's generation, three individuals are studying at the Martial Arts Academy in the imperial city of Chu. They are the future of the Qin family

Qin Yao, this time is different. The first martial destiny star of Bai Qiuxue comes from the Third Heaven. Many academies from the imperial city have sent representatives here, so it has been decided to hold a separate recruitment event in Tianyong City, scheduled for two days later, with the location set outside the Bai family residence

"Haha, Tang Lin, since you know that the Imperial Star Academy is coming, why go through the extra trouble?" A hearty laugh echoed from afar. Tang Lin's gaze sharpened as he looked in that direction, and he noticed a figure approaching him, causing his pupils to constrict.

Qin Wentian's eyes shone with brilliance as he thought to himself: "Moreover, this is merely the realm of body refinement. If one were to step into the realm of the Wheel Meridian, with all the acupoints activated, boundless power circulating, connecting to the Nine Meridians, and employing divine abilities stronger than techniques, how formidable would that be

The powerful figures of the Yuanfu realm are all significant individuals, capable of dominating both Tianyong City and the library

Stepping onto the path of martial arts, with strong muscles and bones, Qin Wentian walked through the night without feeling any fatigue. Outside the gate of the Qin residence, the statue of the ancestral figure Qin Wu, holding a spear and riding a fine steed, still stands tall.

This punch, like a fierce tiger descending the mountain, is even more terrifying than a real tiger. Qin Zhi is likely at the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm. Qin Wentian felt the might of that punch and thought to himself, an ordinary martial artist at the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm possesses the strength of forty-nine bulls, and their fists are harder than steel

The academy should invite Bai Qiuxue; Master has instructed someone to send her an invitation letter, so that she can enroll in the academy at the beginning of spring next year, wouldn't that be good? said Qin Yao

"Teacher." At that moment, beside Qin Chuan, a young girl shouted towards the sky, and instantly, Qin Chuan's gaze sharpened as he asked, "Yao'er, is that you, Teacher?"

"Adoptive Father." Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Qin Wentian was momentarily at a loss for words. Since childhood, he had been taken in by the Qin family, and the head of the family, Qin Chuan, had recognized him as an adoptive son, treating him as his own, even better than his biological children.

Qin Zhi. Qin Wentian looked at a young man clad in a yellow long robe, who was of similar age. At that moment, Qin Zhi unleashed a Tiger Roar Fist, roaring like a fierce tiger descending a mountain. The mountains and forests trembled, and instantly, the young man opposite was overwhelmed, with a thunderous sound echoing as he was sent flying, his body crashing heavily onto the ground beneath the martial arts stage.

As soon as her voice fell, a giant eagle swooped down and landed on the platform, revealing a hint of a smile: "Today I have come to mhetushu.com, precisely for this matter, having heard that Bai Qiuxue possesses exceptional talent, and the Royal Academy wishes to recruit her under its wing."

"Why have you returned, Tian?" Qin Chuan, abandoning his imposing demeanor, revealed a gentle smile

It seems that, as I expected, Bai Qiuxue has communicated with the martial stars in the Three Heavens, awakening the star soul, which has alarmed the capital of Chu. I believe she must have been expelled. A voice coldly remarked beside Qin Chuan; it was his cousin, Qin He, the second son of the Qin family.

At this moment, the members of the Qin family all sighed inwardly. The Royal Academy is the royal academy of the State of Chu, which only admits nobility and exceptionally talented individuals. It ranks among the top three in the various military academies of the Chu dynasty.

Mo Shang!" Tang Lin sneered inwardly, not expecting Mo Shang to also seek to leverage the marriage alliance with the Qin family. However, Qin Yao is his disciple, and in this regard, Mo Shang has no hope.

"Impudent." Qin Chuan scolded.

Upon hearing these words, everyone felt a chill in their hearts. Bai Qiuxue has now suddenly become a remarkable figure among people, with even the Royal Academy of the State of Chu personally coming to recruit her. It is worth noting that in their vast Qin residence, only the most talented Qin Yao has been admitted to the Royal Academy for training.

Qin Wentian arrived at the training ground and saw that several individuals of high status from the Qin residence were present. On the battle platform, the sound of wind and thunder echoed as two young disciples were engaged in a sparring match.

Is that so? Mo Shang smiled slightly, then sat down on his own. His gaze swept over the crowd and paused briefly when it landed on Qin Wentian. Last night, he had infiltrated the Bai residence to see which genius Bai He was hiding, but unexpectedly discovered some interesting things. That person actually sneaked out of the Bai family, and out of curiosity, he followed them all the way, only to find that they had come to the Qin residence.

Qin Yao's expression flickered for a moment, but she still responded, "This matter is indeed true"

However, now the Royal Academy and the Imperial Star Academy have come to the Qin residence, and their purpose is Bai Qiuxue

As Qin Wentian stepped into the Qin residence, he noticed many people hurrying in a particular direction. He couldn't help but call out to a maid and asked, "What has happened?"

The martial arts youth is capable of unleashing such immense power. Qin Zhi's strength and talent are still beneath those of Qin Shang and Sister Qin Yao. Last year, Sister Qin Yao had already reached the eighth level of the Body Refinement Realm, and she is likely even stronger now

The State of Chu has a history of three thousand years, vast and boundless, with over one hundred cities and a population in the millions. Among them, the imperial city of Chu is the most prosperous, serving not only as the center of power but also as a sacred place for martial cultivation. It is home to many renowned martial arts academies and prestigious families. People from all over the State of Chu send their talented youths to the famous martial arts academies for training.

"Ask the heavens." At that moment, a voice echoed, and immediately, many gazes turned towards Qin Wentian, the speaker being Qin Chuan, the head of the Qin family

The Imperial Star Academy does not accept non-martial practitioners. Anyone who steps inside will emerge as a super powerhouse at the Yuanfu realm, making it a cradle of geniuses. The Yuanfu realm transcends the Nine Realms of the Wheel Meridian, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, possessing formidable divine abilities and spells. Within their bodies, they form a Yuanfu, endowed with boundless and surging Yuan power, capable of flying through the air and soaring across the heavens
