150: Chapter 150 The Hostility of the Kendo Academy

The people from the Sword Dao Academy had proud smiles on their faces, looking at the students from other academies who had followed the trend with disdain.

"Our Sword Dao Academy is the academy with the most students selected every year."

"Of course! The Secret Realm of Swords was originally created specifically for martial artists majoring in the Sword Dao. It would be a miracle if those who have no extraordinary understanding of the sword were selected."

"Even in our Sword Dao Academy, where there are many geniuses and countless people with extremely high talent in the Sword Dao, less than fifty percent are selected to enter the Secret Realm of Swords every year. What kind of pipe dream are those from other academies having!"

"They all think they can hit the jackpot and luckily enter the Secret Realm of Swords to obtain a great fortune, but in reality, it's just a joke."

Many people from the Sword Dao Academy were a bit unhappy to see people who weren't from their academy coming over. Because their academy had the most people entering the Secret Realm of Swords every year, they already regarded this secret realm as their academy's exclusive secret realm. To them, the other academies seemed like they were just coming to take advantage, which made them very upset.

They didn't want the benefits to go to outsiders. Moreover, if more people from other academies entered, the competition in the Secret Realm of Swords would be greater, and the benefits they could get would decrease accordingly.

They desperately hoped that none of these people from the outer academies would be selected by the secret realm and that all of them would be unable to enter the Secret Realm of Swords.

Especially knowing that more treasures had been placed in the Secret Realm of Swords this time, this thought in their hearts became even stronger.

The two people standing at the very front of the Sword Dao Academy, however, had no expressions on their faces as they quietly waited for the opening of the Secret Realm of Swords.

In their view, no matter how many people came, the treasures of the Secret Realm of Swords belonged to them.

Because they were the two strongest students in the Sword Dao Academy at the moment, many people from other academies instinctively lowered their heads when they saw them. They had to admit that here at the Sword Saint Square, these two were the center of attention; it was as if they were the true masters of this area.

"That's He Yufan. He actually came. He's a powerhouse ranked eighteenth on the dragon ranking!! He's already stepped into the sixth level of the Earth Sovereign Realm!"

"And Yu Haotian, who is also ranked twentieth on the dragon ranking! He's also at the sixth level of the Earth Sovereign Realm!!"

"The two strongest people in the Sword Dao Academy at the moment have indeed both come!"

Everyone felt very uneasy. The Secret Realm of Swords was already extremely suitable for those from the Sword Dao Academy to show their skills, and this time, the Sword Dao Academy had actually sent two Earth Sovereign-level powerhouses at once. How could they compete with that?

Although whether they could even get the qualification to enter was still a question, if they really did hit the lottery and entered the Secret Realm of Swords only to be knocked out early by these powerhouses from the Sword Dao Academy, it would be terrible luck.

Everyone knew that the Sword Dao Academy had a significant sense of possessiveness over the Secret Realm of Swords and was very unhappy with other academies. Every year, news would spread of people from other academies being ganged up on and beaten by the Sword Dao Academy in the Secret Realm of Swords, leaving them heavily injured.

Everyone was also very wary of these guys from the Sword Dao Academy. Therefore, upon entering the Secret Realm of Swords, most people would take a detour if they saw someone from the Sword Dao Academy to avoid being ganged up on.

Even if they were the first to discover a treasure, it would be disastrous if someone from the Sword Dao Academy was nearby. They would have to obediently hand it over; otherwise, what awaited them would be countless flying sword attacks.

Looking at the Sword Saint Square now, those on the Sword Dao Academy's side were already casting dangerous glances. Many people were secretly briefing others on their dark history so that some uninformed freshmen and novices could avoid falling into a trap.

"This Sword Dao Academy is the same as in previous years. Do they really think the Secret Realm of Swords is their own?"

"Keep it down! You can't let them hear you. They're very petty. They might secretly remember your face and gang up on you in the secret realm."

"Hehe, they only dare to be arrogant toward us. When they run into Gu Xinyue, don't they also flee with their tails between their legs?"

Although the Sword Dao Academy was extremely arrogant, many people knew that they only dared to bully the weak. While most people chose to avoid and comply, there were those who wouldn't tolerate them.

That was Gu Xinyue. Almost everyone knew this name because, in the Secret Realm of Swords over the past few years, Gu Xinyue not only refused to tolerate the Sword Dao Academy but also specifically sought out the geniuses of the academy to beat them down. This quickly caused Gu Xinyue's fame to soar.

Even the strongest, He Yufan and Yu Haotian, had obtained very few opportunities and fortunes in the Secret Realm of Swords over the past two or three years because of Gu Xinyue's frantic looting; everything had been snatched by her.

And Gu Xinyue had quickly become a fearsome existence ranked eleventh on the dragon ranking.

While Gu Xinyue immediately became an idol to everyone, she also became the person the Sword Dao Academy feared most.

At this moment, everyone was constantly searching the Sword Saint Square, but they couldn't find Gu Xinyue's figure.

"Why haven't I seen Senior Gu come over?"

"Don't you know? Gu Xinyue is still out on an important mission. She probably doesn't even know that the Secret Realm of Swords opened early."

"What!? Gu Xinyue isn't coming? Won't the Sword Dao Academy be even more arrogant then?"

When everyone heard the news that Gu Xinyue might be absent, their moods immediately plummeted. They couldn't imagine how arrogant the Sword Dao Academy, which had been suppressed by Gu Xinyue for years, would become without her.

"No wonder I saw many people from the Sword Dao Academy snickering as soon as I arrived. So that's why!"

"It's over. Without Gu Xinyue, the Sword Dao Academy will be even more unscrupulous!"

Everyone searched for Gu Xinyue relentlessly, but while they didn't find her, they did spot a familiar figure.

There was a person standing alone to one side, holding a cup of milk tea and drinking it calmly.

"Eh? Why does this person look a bit familiar?"

"milk tea? I think I've thought of something!"

As everyone watched Su Lin calmly drinking milk tea, it soon felt as if their whole bodies had been struck by lightning, and they immediately remembered.

"Su Lin! He's Su Lin! He came here too?!"

"So it's the owner of the Martial God Milk Tea Shop! I heard the business in his shop is booming. Instead of selling milk tea in his shop, he actually ran over here?!"

"He also wants to enter the Secret Realm of Swords!"

At this moment, those who knew Su Lin and those who didn't all focused their attention on him. Even those who didn't know Su Lin instantly understood who this man of the hour was after hearing the discussions around them.

"He is Su Lin! The current number one on the freshman leaderboard!!"

"He's the one who challenged the top ten of the freshman leaderboard all at once!? And he even insta-killed Gu Tianming!?"

"Holy crap! That powerful? What realm is he at now?"

Everyone noticed that Su Lin was already at the eighth level of the divine aperture realm and cried out in surprise.

"He's at the eighth level of the divine aperture!? I remember he was only at the first level of the Divine Aperture half a month ago!"

"Holy shit! What kind of cultivation speed is this? Even a rocket isn't this fast! Could it be that he's been hiding his strength all along?"

"A freshman who hasn't even been in school for more than a month is already at the eighth level of the divine aperture?! What terrifying talent!"

The center of the Sword Saint Square was mostly occupied by senior students, while most freshmen were on the periphery. Because the seniors in the center were very powerful—much stronger than the freshmen—the freshmen only dared to stay on the outskirts.

However, Su Lin became the only freshman in the central area of the square at this time.

But even though Su Lin was a freshman, many senior brothers and sisters didn't dare to look down on him; they were instead amazed by Su Lin's incredibly high talent and strength.

"So he's that Junior Su Lin! I didn't expect him to be even stronger than I imagined!"

"When I was a freshman, I was only at the second or third level of the Divine Aperture. He's already at the eighth level. That's truly exaggerated."

The people from the Sword Dao Academy also looked toward Su Lin. Even the two Earth Sovereign powerhouses, whose faces had remained calm and indifferent, narrowed their eyes and stared at Su Lin.

"He's Su Lin? I heard he has a good relationship with Gu Xinyue?"

He Yufan smiled slightly, and when he mentioned Gu Xinyue, the cold sneer on his face could no longer be hidden.
