Zijing Academy: Chapter 74: The Sword of Forgotten River Shocks the Northern Saint [7000 words]

"Sword Saint..."

"The next opponent is actually the Sword Saint..."

After seeing the publicly available battle schedule, Dean Zijing anxiously checked the detailed information and discovered that even the map ownership was actually with the Wanjian Academy!

Her legs went weak and she slumped back into the chair, nearly fainting.

"Do not……"

"No matter what, Dean, you don't need to be so exaggerated, do you?"

"Is this what they call histrionic personality disorder?"

Nanhe said, somewhat speechless, "Besides, Lu Chan has already defeated Hua Sheng, so no matter how strong Jian Sheng is, he can't be that much stronger than Hua Sheng, right?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Lu Chan with a gentle expression: "Lu Chan, don't you think so?"

"We'll only know the specifics after we've fought it."

Lu Chan blinked his pale purple eyes and responded softly.

In fact, through the previous rounds of battles, not to mention herself, any normal weapon refiner could see that the Sword Saint was much stronger than the Flower Saint this year.

However, for me... they should all be pretty much the same.

Dean Zijing took a deep breath and said, "Sword Saint Su Fu's strength this year is ridiculously strong. I heard that Sunset Sword Cloud Sect was initially hesitant, but after watching the Ten Thousand Swords Academy's competition, they directly designated Sword Saint as this year's Saintess candidate. Lu Chan, you'd better do your best in the next round!! Our Zijing Academy is counting on you!"

"Okay, okay, I understand."

Lu Chan said helplessly, "But Dean, could you please stand up and speak first? Won't you catch a cold kneeling on the ground?"

The battle between Zijing Academy and Wanjian Academy.

And the battle between Fengdu Academy and Xingchen Academy that followed immediately became the hottest topic of the night.

After tomorrow, the Northern San Francisco League will eliminate two teams with championship potential.

In fact, tomorrow night's match could already determine the two teams that will ultimately compete in the final.

After the match and schedule were announced as over, the audience at the Hanging Gardens began to leave.

After dinner.

The group from Zijing Academy returned to the rest room of the Star Palace. A short while later, there was another knock on the door.

"Zijingyuan Team, you have a letter."

"It's a letter from Miss Lu Chan..."

After the door was opened, a maid dressed in the uniform of the Star Palace politely handed in the letter and then turned and left.

"What is this?" Lu Chan was slightly taken aback, looking at the letters in his hand with a bewildered expression.

And just then...

Upon seeing the envelope in Lu Chan's hand, Dean Zijing suddenly revealed an expression of ecstatic joy and leaned closer, saying, "Lu Chan, you've really been chosen by the Holy Land! This is an invitation from the Holy Land!?"

"what?"

"An invitation to the Holy Land? It's from Lu Chan...?"

Which holy site is it?

Upon hearing this, all the members of Zijing Academy showed expressions of shock. Xu Rong was even more envious, explaining, "Being chosen by the Holy Land is a chance to rise to the top in one step. But with Junior Sister Lu Chan's strength, it's only natural, isn't it?"

When the chief was being decided at the Zijing Academy.

They all knew that Lu Chan would lead Zijing Academy to a new level.

Unexpectedly... Zijing Academy had only just broken into the top 16 when Lu Chan received so many letters from holy lands all at once. The range of choices was ridiculously large!

"Star players chosen by the Holy Land"

"Once the Northern Sacred State League ends, I can go directly to the Holy Land for training and won't have to go back to Northern Lan City to worry about finding a job anymore. I'm so jealous of Lu Chan!"

"Lu Chan, will you never return to Beilan City?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Qian subconsciously revealed a somewhat forlorn expression.

Of course, the one most familiar with the rules of the Holy Land was actually Lu Chan herself; after examining the five envelopes in her hand, she first opened the first envelope.

Inside this envelope is a bright red token.

And several lines of text made of flames.

【Nine-Rank Sacred Land - Thousand Hellfire City】

We welcome you to report to Thousand Prisons Fire City after the Northern Sacred State League concludes and join our sacred land. We will provide you with ten complete high-grade spirit embryos, five high-grade spirit skills, ten high-grade fragments of iron, and one super-grade fragment of iron every year.

Our Thousand Hellfire City is primarily focused on conquering the two forbidden zones: [Flame Court] and [Curtain of the Eight Underworld Kings]. We hope you will seriously consider our offer.

Upon seeing the invitation from Thousand Hellfire City, Dean Zijing couldn't help but complain, "Thousand Hellfire City's invitation is very insincere. They probably think you won't consider them, so they're just giving it a try."

Lu Chan nodded slightly.

Just from the name, you can tell that Thousand Prisons Fire City is a school of fire-type weapon refiners. In my previous life, I didn't have much research on fire-type spiritual weapons or spiritual weapons that mutated towards fire, so I would never consider it.

This sacred place is more suitable for Xu Rong.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Chan opened the second envelope; inside the second envelope was a token that was entirely jade-colored.

【Nine-Rank Sacred Land - Myriad Mysterious Palace】

Our holy land has many wood-type and wind-type weapon refiners. We value weapon refiners with strong practical skills. The annual offering is about 5 complete high-grade spirit embryos, 5 high-grade spirit techniques, 10 high-grade fragments of iron, and 3 super-grade fragments of iron.

Our Myriad Netherworld Palace's headquarters are located in both the forbidden zones of the Eight Underworld Kings (where curfew is imposed) and the Heavenly Tree.

"No, no, I won't consider it."

"This holy land is notoriously stingy and miserly. It's located in a remote area and doesn't have many resources," Dean Zijing gossiped, throwing away the invitation from Wanban Youlu Palace on Lu Chan's behalf.

Seeing this, Lu Chan opened the third envelope.

Inside this envelope is a purple crescent-shaped token.

【Eighth-Rank Sacred Land - Dark Moon King's Tower】

We hope you can come to our holy land and receive the purest training. Here, all rewards are earned through your own strength.

【Lu Chan, we hope you can become a member of our Holy Land and strive to become one of the top weapon refiners in the Northern Holy State!】

He read the letter carefully.

After reading it, Lu Chan threw the letter away. Then, with her pale purple eyes narrowed, she looked at Dean Zijing with a bewildered expression and asked with slight confusion, "This holy land shouldn't have gone mad, right?"

In his previous life, even the two second-grade holy lands he had stayed in had never made such a big promise to anyone.

Where does this eighth-grade holy land get its confidence from?

Standing nearby, Luo Fei said with obvious envy, "If it were a contestant like us, even if the Holy Land didn't offer us any tribute, we'd still beg to go, right?"

"Ahem... Dark Moon Royal Tower is, after all, the only eighth-grade holy land in Northern Sacred Continent. You know what, quite a few weapon refiners are quite susceptible to their charms!" Dean Zijing explained, then added, "Lu Chan, quickly check if there are any letters from March Peach Sword Tower."

"Yes, I found it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chan had already opened the envelope from the Peach Sword Pavilion in March.

Upon opening the envelope, the first thing that caught the eye was a moonlit token wrapped in cherry blossom patterns. The quality of this token was completely different from the tokens of other holy sites, exuding unparalleled luxury.

Upon seeing the token, Dean Zijing gasped and said with bated breath, "Lu Chan, this is the token for a candidate for Holy Maiden!"

"A candidate for sainthood..."

Upon hearing these four words, everyone in the Zijing Academy showed a look of disbelief.

Generally speaking, even the most dazzling star players in previous North Saint State Leagues are not guaranteed to receive an invitation to become a Saintess candidate!

Lu Chan raised his white, snow-white eyebrows thoughtfully and began to read the letter.

【The Ninth-Rank Sacred Land, Peach Sword Pavilion in March, hopes you can become our candidate for Holy Maiden】

Our reward is an invitation to a "Saintess" level event, which will provide you with: ten complete high-grade spirit embryos, ten high-grade spirit skills, three super-grade fragments of iron, and... a reserved spot for an admission ticket to the Dragon Palace every year.

This holy land has consistently focused on conquering the forbidden zones, primarily the [Heavenly Tree], [Curfew Underworld King], and [Night-Shining Pearl]. Its exploration progress within the Night-Shining Pearl far surpasses that of other holy lands.

We hope you can join the Peach Sword Pavilion in March soon and become one of our key members in the Holy Land Grand Competition five years later.

"The Peach Sword Pavilion in March has agreed to give me a ticket to the Dragon Palace!"

"These must be very valuable spots, right?"

Lu Chan narrowed her pale purple eyes slightly, thinking to herself, "Besides, with this invitation letter at the Saintess candidate level, I should be able to focus on my cultivation for a while now."

Without a doubt, with such high expectations placed upon it by the Peach Sword Pavilion in March, it would be difficult for Lu Chan to consider other sacred sites.

At last……

Under the expectant gaze of everyone, Lu Chan opened the last letter. 3

This is an invitation from [Nine-Rank Sacred Land - Azure Courtyard] 0

Surprisingly, Azure Courtyard also extended invitations to candidates for the position of Saintess. 9

Even Dean Zijing was somewhat astonished upon gazing at the pure, sky-blue token inlaid with ornate cloud patterns.

What the heck is this...?

I heard that the title of Saintess candidate for Azure Court this year has been given to the legendary Northern Saint Sword, Ling Cangcang.

But how did their Saintess candidate token end up in Lu Chan's hands...?

If the outside world were to find out about this, it would probably cause a huge sensation!

Lu Chan glanced at the conditions offered by Azure Courtyard. Apart from not having an admission ticket to the Dragon Palace, the other conditions were basically the same as those of the Peach Sword Pavilion in March.

Since that's the case, let's choose the Peach Sword Pavilion in March...

Lu Chan channeled a wisp of spiritual energy into the token of the March Peach Sword Pavilion, and soon the token gradually dissipated into the air.

This would also allow the Peach Sword Tower of March to realize Lu Chan's desire and inclination to join their holy land.

As for the other tokens, including the Saintess Candidate Token of Azure Courtyard, if left unattended for a day, these tokens will automatically dissipate due to the depletion of spiritual energy.

Dean Zijing shook her head with a touch of melancholy: "The Azure Court must be quite bewildered to see that you declined the invitation to be a candidate for Saintess... However, this timing doesn't prevent them from sending out invitations to others."

"..."

"..."

After a night.

The following day, the North Saint State League, held on the 100th floor of the Star Palace Sky Garden, officially began its round of 16 to 8 competition.

The day's competition attracted countless spectators who came to the venue in person.

Among the audience, there were more weapon refiners from Beilan City wearing Zijing Academy uniforms than yesterday.

The fact that Zijing Academy has reached its current status is inextricably linked to Princess Zijing's unparalleled strength.

Many of Lu Chan's supporters would even approach the weapon refiners wearing Zijing Academy uniforms and inquire about the deeds of Princess Zijing.

And what's most speechless is...

Before the North Saint State League officially began, Princess Zijing Lu Chan was just an ordinary school beauty.
