Sounds of metal clashing filled the arena. Lu Wan only managed to get permission after Qi Huan joined him, so he didn't have the chance to see their duel from the beginning.

"Oh, they're already using their Eon Energy." Qi Huan was astonished as he entered the room. It was a closed training arena, so no one could enter unless they have permission.

From the clashes of weapons, both Qin Zheng and Ye Jiao used their Eon Energy to cover their entire body. They used it mostly as defense while their attack grew piercer and a little mistake would be enough to send them to the underworld.

Clang! Clang! Clang! 

"It's here!" Lin Cai barged in while dragging a middle-aged man behind her. Her expression was full of grievances.

"Senior Sister Lin?" Qi Huan was stunned.

"Junior Lu Wan greets Senior Sister Lin."

The middle-aged man looked at the two of them for a moment before he turned his head to the other two in the arena. He was wearing a purple robe and has the disposition of a leader. Despite only being a middle-aged man, his hair has completely turned white.

"Elite Disciple Qi Huan greets Master," Qi Huan didn't know who this man was, but he guess that he was anything but ordinary.

The middle-aged man chuckled. "What Master? I'm not your teacher, Qi Huan."

"Uh, then, Teacher?"

"He's the vice leader of the Hua Shan Academy," Lin Cai introduced and puffed her cheeks. "That principal is so stingy. He doesn't even want to meet me."

Qi Huan and Lu Wan's body trembled when they heard what Lin Cai said. They knew that Elite Disciple would give them higher rank compared to other students in this academy, but they didn't expect Lin Cai to be so bold.

"Elite Disciple Qi Huan (Core Disciple Lu Wan) greets Vice Leader Shen!"

The middle-aged man laughed and waved his hand. "There's no need to be so polite in front of me. I'm this little lass' Master and am here to observe the situation a bit."

"…" she's the Elite Disciple of a vice leader?

Lin Cai grinned. "Teacher Shen Dian is a good teacher, so you don't need to be so stiff in front of him."

"Shan Dian?"

"It's Shen Dian," Qi Huan quickly corrected Lu Wan. Internally, he wished to cry because he had just realized that the name he picked as his alias in Bao Fu Organization was too similar to this man. Who would have thought that he would meet with someone named Shen Dian? There was just one letter difference in the spelling!

"Oh, sorry."

Shen Dian looked at the two of them and smiled. "If you two are talking about how similar it is with the word lightning, it's indeed true. Though my name had a completely different meaning."

"The letter must be very different." Qi Huan smiled, acting all normal as he didn't wish for anyone to know that he had accidentally picked similar words.

Bang!

"What's that?"

"It's a martial skill," Qin Zheng smiled. "I don't mind showing it to you again."

In the next second, he gathered Eon Energy into his sword. It glowed in radiance and in the next second, Qin Zheng swung it rapidly towards Ye Jiao's direction. Numerous air swords headed in her direction and forced Ye Jiao to retreat immediately.

Slash! Slash! Slash!

Each of them reached the wall behind her and left a deep mark. Ye Jiao could feel that her hands were also hit, but she continued to dodge.

Clang!

"That should be enough," Qin Zheng lowered his sword. There were numerous sword marks on the ground around him. Each of them was deep and directed to the wall. Blood from Ye Jiao's wound dripped to the ground as the girl struggled to stand up.

Even blocking one of them was hard.

Ye Jiao looked at Qin Zheng. "You never tried to fight me seriously in the past, did you?"

"I did. I only mastered this slash recently," Qin Zheng wiped his sweat and tossed a bandage and a bottle to Ye Jiao. "You should take care of your wounds. Apply this on the outside."

"Ah, ok. Thank you."

Qin Zheng turned his head to the group of people near him. "Didn't I ask for a closed-door arena to make sure that you can't get in?"

"I'm an Elite Disciple too, so I have the right," Qi Huan shrugged. He just used it to reason with the teacher outside since Qin Zheng didn't give specific order to not let anyone come inside.

Lin Cai crossed her arm. "I'm asking the teacher to redress my grievances. How could you suggest for me to train that young man until the end of the year?"

"You're late by more than three hours," Qin Zheng responded calmly. "Do you think I wouldn't know that you have been neglecting your physical training during the time you're sent away?"

"But….!"

Shen Dian laughed. "He had a point, Cai'er. Besides, you won't have the chance to learn martial art skills if you don't have a strong physique."

Lin Cai's face darkened. When her master already agreed to what Qin Zheng suggested, she knew that it would be impossible to change his decision anymore. With this, she had to train that annoying young man until the end of this year.

"Also, you never told me that you have mastered the air sword, Qin Zheng,"

"You're not really my formal master," Qin Zheng shrugged. "Also, it's not complete yet. I still can't control their direction according to what I wish."

Martial arts were skills and technique. They could use their Eon Energy to learn a skill or just used other means to do so. Some higher-level techniques could even allow them to bypass the stage or rank to beat their opponent.

Ye Jiao had never learned proper skills and technique. All that she had learned were the basic ones where she only needed to rely on her physical ability. However, she would not last long if she didn't learn any proper skill with Eon Energy or with her weapon.

"Tsk, that man will surely brag endlessly if you tell him," Shen Dian clicked his tongue. "Also, is this girl the new student? Have you selected your formal master yet?"

"Formal master?" Ye Jiao was still busy bandaging her wounds after she had applied the medicine.

"As an Elite Disciple, you can be taught by any master in the academy. The position as Elite Disciple just meant that when you select a master, you'll also learn everything from him. Preferably, you need to pick someone with the same talent and similar path with you. If there's none, you can pick anyone," Lin Cai explained.

In this academy, they would be taught directly by their teacher if they become Elite Disciple. Of course, those who were selected as the Core Disciple could pick a teacher too, but they might not be taught everything by this teacher.

"Not yet," Ye Jiao replied. She had just arrived yesterday. When would she have the time to pick a master?

"In that case, do you want to be my disciple?"
