Chapter 3, Wanling Academy
"Go in." Bu Xuan smiled gently and said, "For a long time, this will be your home."
What is the step?
I almost couldn't help but slap my thigh and laugh out loud
"Yes, Deputy Dean!" The driver trembled.
I almost thought I had misheard
This is a garden-style campus, with countless pavilions and waterside pavilions, exuding an exquisite elegance. Everywhere reflects an ancient charm, so beautiful that it is beyond words. No wonder Sister Xuan Yin said it is even more beautiful here
Then, Buxuan Yin changed her expression to one of tenderness and said to me: "Anyway... the Mo Jian Office is a very special place, possibly offering opportunities that other offices do not have. In short, make sure to seize this opportunity well. Don't worry, how could I possibly let you down? There is an elder in the Mo Jian Office, who is very easygoing. He will tell you what you should do and what you should not do every day, and I will also come to see you often"
... ...
I nodded and smiled: "Thank you for the compliment, Assistant Xu. Let's go check the cafeteria; I am already quite hungry."
What is Yixuan
Hastily turning over, I got out of bed and washed up. Outside the door, a woman's voice came through: "Is Bu Yixuan there?"
Forget it, call it whatever you want. I am somewhat inclined to give up, as his hearing does not seem to be very good
Hmm, what does it mean to be a substitute student
I : `` ... ... ''
The car slowly drove into the eastern district of Linxue City. Further ahead, two enormous statues loomed in the night sky; one depicted a warrior wielding a heavy sword and clad in armor, while the other portrayed an elder holding a scepter. They were lifelike and exuded immense tension, as if they could shatter the heavens with a single strike. The car passed straight between the two statues, and on the ancient stone gate, four large characters were carved—Wàn Líng Xué Yuàn.
Step by step, also Xuan!
My voice is very deep, and no one can still engage in light-hearted conversation after enduring such a blow
Entering the wooden cabin to change clothes, the uniform of Wanling Academy is quite modern. This outfit includes long pants, black leather shoes, a white shirt, and a very stylish black suit jacket with an open collar. However, the jacket is adorned with the golden characters "Candidate" on the front, which somewhat detracts from its appeal. While changing clothes, I tugged at the fabric; its elasticity is excellent, likely made from the legendary "Ten Thousand Fold Cotton." It has good elasticity, is difficult to damage, and is very suitable for martial artists.

... ...
I glanced at the card, which had a row of numbers and the large characters "Alternate Student" above it, and I couldn't help but be stunned: "What is this?"
... ...
The old man smiled and said: "The spiritual vein flows like water, and the spiritual void resembles a channel. Your channel may be dry, but it still exists. A heavy rain can bring you back to life anew. What is there to be disheartened about?"
"The Academy of All Spirits is even more beautiful. Here, you can keep this for now." She handed me a card
As the wind blows, short skirts flutter, and white legs stand tall
Actually, there is nothing much to it. Because you are a substitute student, you are temporarily unable to attend classes with the new students. I will arrange for you to join a very interesting college department called the Sword Polishing Office
Xu Lu covered her mouth and chuckled: "Hmm, let's go. First, I'll take you to the cafeteria. After we eat our fill, we can explore other places."
Your three meridians of heaven, earth, and man are swollen and red. What happened? Have you had your spiritual meridian drawn out by someone?" He seemed to have discovered something and said it casually.
What does "磨剑办" mean? My ominous premonition has become even stronger
Well, alright
As I was lost in thought, Buxuan gently bumped my shoulder and said with a smile, "Xiaoxuan, isn't Linxue City beautiful?"
Hmm, it looks good
The old man's face was covered in wrinkles, and he did not lift his head, focused on polishing the iron sword. It was not until I threw my bundle onto the wooden bed with a thud that he finally allowed himself to look up at me.
After passing through a row of pavilions, Bu Xuan Yin pushed open the car door and pointed to the dimly lit area, saying: "Let's go, I will take you to the Sword Polishing Office"
You have not awakened your talent, so you cannot confidently join the ranks of the new students. You should start as a reserve student first
A seemingly simple sentence actually conceals profound meaning, and I couldn't help but look at him in astonishment; indeed, the Wanling Academy is filled with hidden talents, even the old man from the Sword Polishing Workshop is quite formidable!
I pushed open the wooden door with my bundle in hand, and not far away under the oil lamp, an old man was sharpening a sword with a grinding wheel. These swords were training swords for the students, many of which had their edges chipped and needed to be repaired. Perhaps the function of the sword polishing workshop is precisely this.
The Dragon Spirit Federation is situated on the Dragon Spirit Continent, where the powerful Seven Spirit Gods are worshipped. It is the Seven Spirit Gods that bestow spiritual power upon the land, bringing prosperity to the earth. The entire Dragon Spirit Federation is divided into four major regions: the Northern Region, the Eastern Region, the Southern Region, and the Western Region, each ruled by several significant powers. Among them, the Hundred Saints Alliance of the Su family, the Gale Domain of the Tang family, the Spirit Sparrow Palace of the Southern Region, and the Sunset Palace of the Western Region are all once prominent forces. These powers constitute a vast federation, and the chief executive officer of the federation is respectfully referred to as the Chancellor, currently held by Su Xicheng of the Hundred Saints Alliance.
Lin Xue City, the capital of the Northern Territory, and the location of the Academy of All Spirits, has arrived
"Do not call me senior, call me teacher." He squinted his eyes and smiled at me, with a hint of playfulness.
I am half in doubt: "Sister, although I am not your biological brother, but..."
I stepped outside and was taken aback to find a woman in uniform, appearing to be around twenty-five years old, quite attractive, a beauty of about eight points. She was holding a stack of clothes and said, "I am Xu Lu, the assistant to Vice Dean Bu Xuan Yin. Here are your two sets of clothes, along with your work schedule for today."
I grasped the bundle tightly and followed her into the darkness
... ...
Looking at my cousin's beautiful smile, I couldn't help but feel as if I had fallen into her trap, and I became alert, saying: "If there are any other bad things, Xuan Yin, you might as well tell me together."
When I walked out in my reserve student uniform, Xu Lu was actually taken aback for a moment, her beautiful face filled with delight: "No wonder you are the younger brother of Vice Dean Bu Xunyin, this outfit, tsk tsk, I fear there are very few boys in the entire Wanling Academy who can wear it so well."
Your student card at the Wanling Academy; this will be your identity from now on. With this card, you can dine in the academy's cafeteria every day. However, you must not eat too much, as the food is portioned.
Before I could even speak, she had already floated away into the darkness, her movements incredibly swift
... ...
The old man stood up, picked up a hammer, and began to strike the curled iron sword beside him, each blow resonating with a certain rhythm. As a newcomer, I found myself unexpectedly sharpening a sword here, which inevitably stirred a wave of irritation within me
Young man, are you the candidate introduced by the vice dean? What is your name
From a distance, soldiers clad in armor and wielding spears stand like a forest atop the city walls. It is these valiant warriors who guard the Frosty Snow City and protect this realm of spiritual cultivation.
It is seven o'clock
It was already late at night, and the academy was enveloped in silence. However, one could still faintly discern the various floors and training grounds, even seeing the wooden and iron stakes standing tall in the training area, covered with numerous sword marks. Some marks even penetrated ten centimeters into the iron stakes. The person capable of delivering such a strike must have reached a very advanced level in the swordsmanship.
In the early morning, I was awakened by the loud ringing of an old-fashioned alarm clock, which was quite noisy
I was chilled to the bone by his laughter: "Are you a teacher? What can you teach me?"
The Valkyrie Suxi is the sister of Suxi Cheng, which is why... Sister Xuan Yin said there is no need to offend them for this reason
I paused for a moment, recalibrated, increased the strength in my palm, steadied my left foot, shifted my center of gravity to the left, and after compressing the force, this time the sword tip did not deviate, and sparks flew in all directions.
Well
What!
Damn it, heaven
Bu Yi - Xuan
Young man, my ears were deafened by thunder two years ago, and they don't work very well. You must be the new one, right? Move that pile of swords over to the grinding wheel.
My cousin, however, widened her beautiful eyes and said to the driver, "You shut up, do not speak any more!"
You are welcome, hurry up and change your clothes, the deputy dean is busy today, let me take you to familiarize yourself with everything in the academy, so you won't be at a loss, the old fellow from the Sword Grinding Office won't help you get acquainted with the environment
I also know that everything my cousin does is actually for my own good. If she were not concerned about me, why would she go to such lengths to do all of this
Lesson 1: Teaching You to Sharpen the Sword
Arrived at the destination
Bu Xuan smiled and said: "You should maintain a calm mindset and practice your martial arts diligently every day. Even if your spiritual veins are damaged, you must not give up on refining your physical body. While you are honing your sword, I will do my best to find a solution for your spiritual vein depletion."
Upon entering the city of Linxue, the surroundings began to brighten, as a series of streetlights illuminated the night, reflecting the splendor of this prosperous city. The streets along the way transformed into a scene of vibrant lights and colors.
Oh, thank you, Assistant Xu
Alright, senior
What is the meaning of "Bu Shen Xuan"?
The old man shook his head and sighed, saying, "Indeed, this work is something anyone can do..."
After crossing several rows of greenery, I arrived at the official campus. As I walked along this path, I noticed that the female students of Wanling Academy wore short skirts, shirts, small ties, and jackets. Instantly, my eyes brightened; they were young, beautiful, and full of vitality.
In fact, the磨剑办 is merely a small wooden cabin, from which a faint light emanates.
A magnificent city appeared on the horizon, resembling a colossal beast sprawling across the land, extending for hundreds of miles. Within the city, various buildings were interconnected, with clusters of palaces, exuding unparalleled prosperity. Outside the city walls, strands of sacred light shimmered, with countless inscriptions faintly visible; this was the city's protective formation. As the capital city, its defensive capabilities were naturally incomparable to those of a small city like Silverleaf City.
Good
I was busy until late at night polishing all the dull blades, made the bed and went to sleep. Perhaps due to exhaustion, I did not care whether the wooden board was hard or not, and lay down to fall into a deep sleep.
The old man smiled and said: "When the heart is unsettled, the strength is naturally unstable. Do you think that the task of sharpening a sword is something anyone can do?"
Do not look at me, this pile of swords must be sharpened by tonight, and they must be delivered to the eight training grounds by 9:00 AM tomorrow.
... ...
Accompanied by the sound of thumping, we did not arrive at our destination until late at night
It was silent inside, and I was utterly bewildered
"Bu Yixuan." I said with neither arrogance nor servility
... ...
Just after speaking, my stomach let out a loud growl, which was extremely embarrassing
I sat down, cradling a grinding wheel in my arms, my feet pressing on the wheel's base, placing a dulled iron sword upon the grinding wheel. Instantly, under the friction of the wheel, the blade of the sword veered off.
I suppose so
The driver in front chuckled and said: "The full name is the Sword Polishing Office under the Wanling Academy, which is specifically responsible for polishing swords and handling miscellaneous tasks for students"
Saying this, she lazily yawned and said, "I will go back to rest now"
I know that ... ...
Sister Xuan Yin stood in front of the wooden door and gently tapped it with her fingers, saying: "I am Bu Xuan Yin, here to deliver a new candidate for you. Please be a bit courteous."
Creak ... ...
