It was one of the residence of the Academy, where core disciples and geniuses lived. A young man in his 18s was painting in his house. The night was so beautiful that night, the quiet tranquility, the soothing wind, the soothing peace was what the young man felt.
From that solitude the Youth was living each carving of his brush, painting something so beautiful. The Paras of the Youth was so warm and handsome, drugging every one who looked at her to notice her.
Moving the brush of the Youth suddenly stopped when it felt the air of someone coming at it. Without having to turn his head the Youth immediately realized there was someone behind him.
“What's up? You don't see me painting?” the young man sounded unhappy.
“Chairman, there are things I want to tell you about this year's competition.” Someone who knelt down and reported.
The young man did not immediately reply, his hands began to continue painting again.
“Don't I tell you before, we're not in that competition for the year. Our faction is already at the top. Follow it or not, will not change anything.”
“Chairman, please maap before but the competition is now a bit different. Stealth hunting will be held in the Lonely Forest, the prize is also higher that is sky dewdrop.”
The young man stopped his painting movements, the gift slightly attracted him. The young man then looked back. “You are not mistaken with this information?”
“No Chairman, a few days yesterday the Chairman of the Academy announced this in public..” The reporter explained in addition to his high main prize, the high, the second and third championship prizes are also very valuable, which will be given abundant resources and high-class heirlooms.
‘The main prize is very valuable for me to ignore.’ The Youth stroked his chin after thinking for a while, he then turned towards his subordinates.
“Liu Zhan, you lead the Golden Dragon faction in the competition and make sure you are the champion.”
Liu Zhan smiled widely, this is what he had wanted since then. “The two can trust me, after this competition wins, the sky dew prize will be handed to you.”
The Youth nodded, “Then you are the one holding the faction during this competition. If the victory is a bit difficult to achieve you can use that tactic.”
“That way... Oh! Good chairman!” L
After reporting his goal Liu Zhan instantly disappeared while the Young Man himself went back to painting but this time there was a smile engraved on his face.
The dewdrop of the sky was an extremely precious and extremely rare water. Anyone who drank it would make a swordsman break through to his next cultivation without any meaningful effort.
The young man was Liu Yanyi, the leader of the Golden Dragon faction. He himself was in the realm of the 8th Stage Soul Realm and he had a bit of a bottleneck lately, by drinking those resources he was able to break through to the 9th stage in a relatively short period of time.
***
In the middle of the Mist Forest, just below the towering waterfall, there were two beautiful women playing with swords.
One of the two is the most beautiful woman in the Academy, dubbed as the Snow Lotus Goddess, Niu Meily, while the one with her is a shoulder-haired woman, no less beautiful than the goddess, Ye Ziyun.
“How, are you still not interested?” Ye Ziyun asked the umpteenth time as the two practiced sword fighting.
“I'm not sure I will win, Liu Yanyi will definitely be interested in the prize and he might be the ultimate champion?”
“But at least we have a chance to champion two or three.”
Ye Ziyun was Meily's best friend since childhood, both were faction leaders in the Academy, Ye Ziyun's age was two years above the girl. Although he knew the identity of Meily who was the daughter of the clan head Niu, his attitude towards the girl remained as it was to peers.
In swordsmanship the two girls had almost the same understanding. But now Ye Ziyun realized her best friend's sword ability had far exceeded her, whereas they had only not trained for a week.
“This is really your improvement after meeting the young man, how can your abilities really increase this drastic.” Ye Ziyun furrowed her brows and was a little stunned by Meily's development.
Previously Meily had already told Ye Ziyun this about her meeting a genius youth. Not only did it teach him to play sword deeper, the young man was also able to replicate his clan's techniques easily.
Ye Ziyun had initially thought Meily was joking but after seeing her swordplay increase, it was hard to think it was a mere lie.
‘Is the young man Mei’er in fact exist?’
Ye Ziyun was a swordsman, he could judge Meily's ability had improved quite a lot compared to a few weeks ago
Ye Ziyun's strength indeed matched Meily's as she was also one of the genius disciples in the academy. It was just that Ye Ziyun was already 17 years old compared to Meily who was still 15 years old but her cultivation was already in the realm of the Stage 3 Soul Realm.
“I'm starting to understand why you used to go to this waterfall a few days ago. Let me guess, you want to meet that young man again?” Ye Ziyun smiled meaningfully.
“Nona Ziyun, why did you know that I sneaked quietly into the forest?” Meily narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
Ye Ziyun chuckled. “You misunderstood, Mei’er, every night I was always awake and accidentally found you who left the residence, as far as I go if you are not going to this waterfall.”
Together the two are very close, Ye Ziyun and Meily often train at waterfalls at once, you could say this waterfall is their secret place.
“It looks like the young man is very impregnated in your heart, Mei’er?” Ye Ziyun added while smiling meaningfully let alone seeing the unique reaction of her best friend's face.
“I just want to learn more about swords. Don't get me wrong.” Meily replied as flatly as possible.
“Oh yes, but it looks like your face reacts differently to what you said.”
Although Meily answered him as briefly and flatly as possible but she could not hide it from her best friend.
“I told you, I just want to learn swords with him!” Meily swung the sword even faster so Ye Ziyun had a bit of trouble holding it back.
“Ah, what do you not-don't like the young man..”.
Meily's sword swing stopped for a few seconds, just then Ziyun quickly attacked back so that the sword in Meily's hand fell down. Ziyun's sword then switched on his best friend's neck.
“Ejecting does not make the truth disappear, a sign of liking is when you are interested in wanting to meet and be with him longer.”
Ye Ziyun let out a long sigh, drawing out her sword. “This is why you've never been close to a man. The feeling that you feel is very foreign is not it, but the feeling is warm and if you remember it. You will immediately smile.”.
Meily was silent and felt that all was true, she also did not understand with her heart but the man always imagined in her mind. When he remembered the incident, he smiled to himself.
On the other hand Ye Ziyun actually wanted to laugh, of course this was the first time seeing her best friend so like this. Meily was a person who was indifferent to others, whether it was women let alone men.
“Is he very handsome?” Asked Ye Ziyun next who made the girl's cheeks instantly blush.
