Divine King of Honour

Over the next ten days, Xu Nian stayed inside Qingtian Hall.

And Leng Yanran also spent all her time instructing Xu Nian in his cultivation, from Combat Techniques to Combat Skills, wherever Xu Nian had doubts, Leng Yanran made it a point to explain everything one by one.

Although Xu Nian had the guidance of Emperor Ye Tian, Emperor Ye Tian's realm was simply too high, and she considered the problems Xu Nian encountered as idiotic, deeming them not worthy of explanation, and letting Xu Nian figure them out on his own.

Thus, Leng Yanran's pointers turned out to be just right for Xu Nian. With her Marquis Level cultivation, she was able to offer answers from a high vantage point in the simplest and most straightforward way, which was extremely beneficial to Xu Nian.

After ten days, although there wasn't a significant increase in Xu Nian's realm, he had gained a higher understanding of combat skills and Combat Techniques, which would save him from taking many detours in his future cultivation journey.

Through these ten days of interaction, Xu Nian also found that Leng Yanran was actually a warm person beneath her cold exterior.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Although she appeared aloof on the surface, deep down she was still a sensual woman.

A few times, when Xu Nian sneakily checked out her figure and she caught him, her sultry demeanor almost made Xu Nian's eyes pop out.

This made him regret even more that he wasn't sober that day.

Every time he thought about what Emperor Ye Tian had said, that Leng Yanran had the Xuanyin Physique, he felt a surge of heat in his heart.

The ten days quickly passed, and the day when Jade Cave Heaven opened had suddenly arrived.

The entire Academy erupted into excitement, and although only the top ten on the Azure Dragon List could enter Jade Cave Heaven, it was a rare grand occasion for the entire student body.

Because during the ten days when the students from the Azure Dragon List entered Jade Cave Heaven, the Academy would use the Xuantian Mirror to broadcast all their movements, allowing every student to watch.

To them, this was a rare learning opportunity, so how could they not be excited?

When Xu Nian learned of this news, he felt depressed.

Darn, being monitored with every move he made meant that anything he obtained in Jade Cave Heaven would be known to others, which made Xu Nian feel somewhat unhappy, but there was nothing he could do about it.

What made Xu Nian even more frustrated was that Little Xu Yu couldn't be brought into Jade Cave Heaven, which meant he would be without a significant source of strength.

In the end, Xu Nian could only leave Little Xu Yu in Qingtian Hall, to be cared for by Leng Yanran.

Qinglin Academy, in the depths of the dense forest behind the mountains, lay a massive platform.

Atop this platform, there stood a huge and ancient Stone Gate, and in front of the Stone Gate at this moment, stood ten young men and women, clearly the top ten students on the Azure Dragon List, who had gathered here awaiting the opening of Jade Cave Heaven.

Xu Nian stood amidst the crowd, looking at the other nine young men and women beside him, filled with emotion.

A few months ago, he had listened to Chen Wudi talk about how formidable the top ten on the Azure Dragon List were; now, unexpectedly, he had also become one of them.

"Xu Nian, let me introduce myself, I'm Yun Lan!"

Just as Xu Nian was lost in thought, a stunningly beautiful woman approached him and with a charming smile said,

and also extended her delicate, fair hand.

Xu Nian hurriedly reached out and shook the woman's hand. The moment his hand touched hers, Xu Nian felt as if he was holding a warm ball of mutton-fat jade, exceptionally smooth.

Although reluctant to let go, holding on for too long would seem creepy, so Xu Nian had no choice but to withdraw his hand with reluctance.

The woman saw that look on his face, which made her laugh, her body shaking like the branches of a flower in the breeze.

"Do you know me?" Xu Nian, with an embarrassed face, hurriedly changed the subject and asked.

"Of course, I know you. I was there the day you fought on the Life and Death Platform. Besides, news about you has spread throughout the whole Academy. Just ask anyone here who doesn't know you." Yun Lan said with a smile.

Xu Nian scratched his head in embarrassment and looked around, indeed, noticing others also sizing him up.

Suddenly, Xu Nian remembered the woman's identity in front of him, Chen Wudi had told him before, the woman ranked second on the Beauty List and fifth on the Azure Dragon List was none other than Yun Lan.

Xu Nian hadn't expected that this charming and graceful woman in front of him was actually Yun Lan, nor had he thought that she would have watched his duel that day.

Just then, two young men approached; one was tall and burly, while the other looked elegant and handsome.

Yun Lan quickly said with a smile, "Let me introduce you, this is Yu Fei, ranked fourth on the Azure Dragon List, a Body Cultivator who is skilled in Spear Technique."

"Nice to meet you. I was impressed by your fight that day!" the tall and burly Yu Fei walked up to Xu Nian, clapped him on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Senior brother, hello!" Xu Nian nodded in greeting.

"This is Chen Xifeng, ranked third on the Azure Dragon List, a Spirit Cultivator who is as skilled in Swordsmanship as you." Yun Lan introduced again.

"My Swordsmanship isn't as formidable as Junior Brother Xu; achieving the Divine Transformation in wielding Sword Point to execute the Wind Blast is something I have never seen before," Chen Xifeng said with a smile.

"Senior brother is too kind, I am just more practiced in that particular set of Swordsmanship," Xu Nian humbly replied.

Chen Xifeng smiled, clearly pleased with Xu Nian's modest attitude.

"Yo, isn't that Yu Fei and Chen Xifeng? What's this, making friends with the junior brother so quickly?" Just then, a discordant voice rang out.

The crowd turned toward the direction of the voice to see a tall, dark-skinned young man walking over with another youth behind him, both with smirks on their faces.

"Lin Han, what I do is none of your business. Just because you're second on the Azure Dragon List, don't think that we are afraid of you. Brother Xifeng only lost to you by a slight margin; you've got no reason to be so arrogant," Yu Fei said with a sudden loss of good cheer and a cold huff as he saw the newcomer.

Xu Nian sized up the arrival with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Lin Han, second on the Azure Dragon List and also a Body Cultivator, had strength similar to Chen Xifeng's, only slightly stronger.

This Lin Han had always clashed with Chen Xifeng and Yu Fei, largely because they were both close to Yun Lan, while Lin Han was one of Yun Lan's suitors.

As for the person behind him, that was Xie Feng, ranked seventh on the Azure Dragon List, also a Body Cultivator, and brother in arms with Lin Han.

"Losing by a half move? Still lost. If you're so capable, let's see you beating Lin Han by half a move," Xie Feng retorted with a snide laugh.

For a moment, Yu Fei was rendered speechless, obviously knowing what Xie Feng said was true, although his face showed he was unwilling to admit it.

However, Lin Han didn't pay any more attention to Chen Xifeng and Xie Feng; instead, he turned to Xu Nian with a cold smirk and said, "So you're the Xu Nian who defeated Ouyang Chengfeng? Do you know that Ouyang Chengfeng is my cousin?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's expression changed immediately, and he became alert.
