Tang Wu looked at the Moyang Sword Academy Director with a face full of displeasure.

It seemed he had no good feelings toward this senior brother.

However, the Moyang Sword Academy Director didn’t seem angry, instead, he was quite happy.

He appeared especially excited about Tang Wu’s arrival.

"Junior Brother, have you thought it through and decided to join our Moyang Sword Academy?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director asked with a smile.

"You’re overthinking it. I’ve already said that I won’t join your Moyang Sword Academy," Tang Wu said bluntly.

"It’s okay, you can think about it again," the Moyang Sword Academy Director seemed to have anticipated Tang Wu’s response.

He then turned his gaze to Xu Nian and the Lei Family Ancestor.

Especially the Lei Family Ancestor, he couldn’t help but take another look.

Clearly, he had noticed that the Lei Family Ancestor was a Divine-level Expert.

"This friend has already reached Mid-grade Divine-level? And has comprehended the Thunder Attribute Dao? Would you be willing to teach at our Moyang Sword Academy?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director’s eyes lit up as he immediately asked.

Xu Nian was a little surprised.

This Moyang Sword Academy Director truly had a sharp eye.

He could tell the Lei Family Ancestor’s cultivation at a glance, it seems his own cultivation was at least Mid-grade Divine-level.

"I am Lei Tianxing, a mere Loose Cultivator, and I do not wish to join any faction," the Lei Family Ancestor responded calmly.

"Not going to consider it?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director continued to ask.

The Lei Family Ancestor shook his head.

"Li Moyang, you’d better give up on recruiting him, he won’t join your Moyang Sword Academy," Tang Wu said with a sneer.

The Moyang Sword Academy Director chuckled, "It’s okay, I just wanted to ask. Brother Lei, if you’re not interested, that’s fine. You must have other matters coming here, right?"

"Yes, we came here to have a match with you," Tang Wu replied.

"A match? Alright, Junior Brother, it’s been a while since we fought," the Moyang Sword Academy Director said excitedly.

"Not me," Tang Wu shook his head.

"So it’s Brother Lei? That’s fine too, I would also like to experience the power of the Thunder Attribute Dao," the Moyang Sword Academy Director chuckled.

"Not me either!" the Lei Family Ancestor said with a wry smile.

"Not you? Then who else?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director asked curiously.

Xu Nian, seeing this, had no choice but to step forward.

"Senior, it’s me. I would like to spar with you," Xu Nian said.

"You? You’re not my match," the Moyang Sword Academy Director sized up Xu Nian and said.

"Indeed, I am aware of that. I just wish to spar with you to comprehend the mysteries of the Wind Attribute Great Tao. I hope you can enlighten me," Xu Nian replied.

"Comprehending the mysteries of the Wind Attribute Great Tao? You haven’t even reached the Divine level, how can you comprehend the Great Tao?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director asked with some confusion.

"Hmph, Li Moyang, don’t underestimate him. Even the most outstanding talents in your Moyang Sword Academy probably can’t compare to him. You think his cultivation is only at Nether Emperor level, but look at the quality of his soul origin," Tang Wu said with a look of disdain.

"Oh? His soul quality is actually at Divine-level quality? How is this possible? Without undergoing the Divine Tribulation, Godhood fusion, how could his soul quality reach the Divine level?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director exclaimed in surprise.

He looked at Xu Nian as if looking at a monster.

"By a stroke of luck, I encountered some specific opportunities," Xu Nian said.

"Young lad, such opportunities are one in a million," the Moyang Sword Academy Director said in astonishment.

"Senior, you flatter me," Xu Nian replied humbly.

"Young man, are you willing to join our Moyang Sword Academy?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director’s eyes lit up as he asked.

Xu Nian was momentarily speechless.

How eager is this Moyang Sword Academy Director to recruit people for Moyang Sword Academy?

"Senior, I appreciate your kind offer, but I am planning to take part in the Netherworld God Temple examination in a few months," Xu Nian responded.

"The Netherworld God Temple examination? Young man, even though your soul quality has reached the Divine level, without comprehending the Great Tao, participating in the Netherworld God Temple examination is as good as seeking death. Joining our Moyang Sword Academy would be more reliable," the Moyang Sword Academy Director immediately reprimanded.

Xu Nian was amused and exasperated.

"Senior, I truly only wish to spar and learn a few moves from you for the time being and do not wish to join the Moyang Sword Academy," Xu Nian said.

"Since you’re unwilling to join the Moyang Sword Academy, why should I spar with you?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director immediately responded.

Xu Nian was somewhat helpless.

This Moyang Sword Academy Director was forcing him to join Moyang Sword Academy.

"Li Moyang, you will spar today whether you like it or not. Otherwise, I’ll reveal what you did back then to Junior Sister," Tang Wu instantly sneered.

"Junior Brother, no, please don’t, I will spar, alright?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director immediately laughed sycophantically.

Tang Wu merely sneered with a look of disdain.

Xu Nian was quite surprised. What leverage did Tang Wu have over the Moyang Sword Academy Director that made him so afraid?

"Junior Brother, is this fellow your disciple? Why are you helping him so much?" the Moyang Sword Academy Director asked.

"Hmph, none of your business," Tang Wu rolled his eyes at him.

The Moyang Sword Academy Director was helpless.

"Since we are to spar, this place won’t do. Young man, follow me to the martial arena," the Moyang Sword Academy Director said.

"Alright, I am willing to follow your arrangements," Xu Nian replied.

Then, a few of them went to the martial arena of Moyang Sword Academy.

The martial arena of Moyang Sword Academy was extremely vast, occupying an entire hillside, with a ground paved with incredibly hard Divine Stones, exceedingly sturdy.

At this moment, there were quite a few disciples of Moyang Sword Academy cultivating on the plaza.

Upon seeing the arrival of the Moyang Sword Academy Director, they all displayed respectful expressions.

"Dean!"

"Dean!"

The many disciples all greeted in unison.

"You all disperse; I am going to spar with this young friend in the martial arena. If you wish, you can stay and watch," the Moyang Sword Academy Director announced with a smile.

As soon as he said this, the crowd was abuzz.

All the disciples curiously looked at Xu Nian.

This young man was going to spar with their Director?

Their Director was a Divine-level expert; who was this young man to have the ability to spar with the Director?

Looking at him, it seemed he hadn’t reached the Divine level?

The many disciples were abuzz with speculation.

Clearly, they were guessing about Xu Nian’s cultivation and identity.

Facing the crowd’s discussions, Xu Nian’s expression remained unfazed.

He knew this was intentional on the part of the Moyang Sword Academy Director.

To make him face the doubts of many Moyang Sword Academy disciples.

Xu Nian paid no mind to this at all.

He turned his head to look around but did not see that familiar figure.

This left him slightly disappointed.

"Youngster, there’s still time to regret it, or else don’t blame me for your embarrassment later," the Moyang Sword Academy Director said with a smile.

"I do not regret it; losing to you, Director, is not embarrassing at all," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Brave youngster, then let’s begin," the Moyang Sword Academy Director showed a slight appreciation.

Not to mention anything else, this young man’s mentality is quite good.
