Chapter 0105: Three Martial Academy

Qin Yun sensed the white flame in his palm had no temperature, but he could make it hot or cold at will, which was truly amazing.

"Grandpa Duan, how did you know?" Qin Yun asked.

"I heard before that when a fire martial soul is powerful enough, it not only consumes internal energy but also requires mental strength!"

"Clearly, your fire martial soul is of that level, so even if it's dormant, it can be awakened by mental strength and release flames. It just hasn't fully formed yet, so you need to work hard," Duan Qian said.

Qin Yun's fire martial soul wasn't destroyed by the meteoric fire; instead, it became much stronger, though it hadn't fully formed. It didn't die as Master Wei and others had hoped.

"Master Wei and those guys will be disappointed!" Qin Yun laughed.

"That's good! It will reduce the trouble you'll face in the future. Your displayed talent is too dazzling, making many jealous people wish to destroy you, let alone the Empress and her group. Now that they think your purple-gold fire martial soul has died, they'll be more at ease and reduce their actions against you."

Duan Qian wiped his sweat, drank a cup of tea, and said seriously, "But don't let your guard down. The Empress and her group are always thinking of ways to completely destroy you!"

Qin Yun nodded. On his way from Hualing Martial Arts Academy to here, he encountered an assassin at the ninth level of the Martial Body realm. Fortunately, the Lin Steel Tiger appeared suddenly, otherwise he would have been killed.

"What a close call!" Duan Qian laughed.

"I thought I was done for. If not for surviving, all my years of effort would have been wasted," Qin Yun laughed. "Now I can go to the Three Martial Academy with peace of mind."

Even without his fire martial soul, he could still make a name for himself with his vibration martial soul.

"It's late now. We'll go to the Three Martial Academy tomorrow. Go rest!" Duan Qian said.

...

Although it was late at night, many spies and messengers were busy spreading the news about Qin Yun's purple-gold fire martial soul dying.

In the imperial palace.

The Empress laughed heartily, "Qin Yun is greedy and dissatisfied with the power of his purple-gold fire martial soul. He forcibly fused it with meteoric fire, causing it to disintegrate. This is karma, this is fate, hahaha..."

"Your Majesty, there's news that the Crown Prince has been accepted as a disciple by an elder from the Blue Spirit Star Palace," a eunuch rushed in, reporting with joy.

This made the Empress laugh even harder!

...

Early in the morning, Qin Yun and Duan Qian left Runes Hall in a carriage.

Despite the early hour, people on the road were discussing his purple-gold fire martial soul.

He also heard that Qin Zhengfeng had been accepted as a disciple by an elder from the Blue Spirit Star Palace.

"Qin Zhengfeng indeed joined the Blue Spirit South Palace," Duan Qian said. "The South Palace is closely aligned with the Tian Qin royal family."

Qin Yun said, "The Blue Spirit South Palace aligning with the Empress is equivalent to gaining support from the Tian Qin Empire. They will surely engage in underhanded activities in the future."

Duan Qian sneered, "Of course. The Blue Spirit Star Palace declined because of their arrogance. Now that they've come to this backward region, they'll become even more rampant."

Seeing Duan Qian's knowledge of the Blue Spirit Star Palace, Qin Yun curiously asked, "Grandpa Duan, Runes Hall doesn't seem to fear the Blue Spirit Star Palace. I'm also considered a Runes Master of Runes Hall. Can you tell me more about Runes Hall?"

Duan Qian smiled, "Passing the Runes Hall test only proves you're a Runes Master, not a member of Runes Hall. I can't tell you too much about Runes Hall, but I can say it has a significant presence in Wuhuang, far surpassing the Blue Spirit Star Palace."

Qin Yun was surprised to learn that Runes Hall had been built by people from Wuhuang.

Duan Qian continued, "We also helped build the Martial Courtyard, so we handle some matters of the Xuan-level Martial Academy."

Qin Yun nodded and asked, "Is the Blue Spirit Star Palace really that bad? Many people still choose to go there."

Duan Qian sighed, "The Blue Spirit Star Palace used to be decent... Now, only the Eastern Palace remains relatively upright. If you want to go somewhere, go to the Eastern Palace! I hear the Star Profound Martial Academy is run by someone from the Eastern Palace, so it's best for you to go there."

It wasn't the first time someone suggested Qin Yun go to the Star Profound Martial Academy. Yang Shiyue and Xiao Yuelan had previously recommended it too.

After leaving the city, the carriage sped along the Yunlong River.

One end of the Yunlong River leads into the Yunlong Mountains.

After two days of travel, they crossed the border of Tian Qin.

"The Yunlong Mountains are vast, connecting several empires," Qin Yun remarked, looking out the window.

"Indeed, it's a natural barrier isolating our small region," Duan Qian said. "Only those who reach the Martial Realm can cross the Yunlong Mountains. Most who reach the Martial Realm try, so there aren't many Martial Realm cultivators around here."

Qin Yun thought of his great-grandfather, who was exploring the Yunlong Mountains.

Duan Qian said, "The Three Martial Academy is in the Yunlong Mountains. Inside, martial artists are at the sixth level of the Martial Body realm. If they can't reach the seventh level by age twenty-five or aren't selected by a Xuan-level Martial Academy, they must leave."

"Many can't pass the assessment?" Qin Yun asked. "Didn't many pass the Heroes Meeting assessment?"

Duan Qian said, "The Heroes Meeting is just one of many assessments for Xuan-level Martial Academies. Each person has only one chance to participate. If they fail the first time, they need to pass another assessment."

"But after the Blue Spirit Star Palace appeared, the Heroes Meeting was canceled because its assessment content was too simple."

"Those Blue Spirit Star Palace guys are doing this just to attract more students," Qin Yun scoffed.

The carriage entered the Yunlong Mountains and arrived at a large mountain range. Duan Qian got off the carriage and led Qin Yun through the air.

"This is the last leg of the journey," Duan Qian said. "There are dangers here, so few dare to approach."

They ran through the air for over an hour and arrived at the entrance of a huge cave, with a closed gate.

Duan Qian used a golden key to open the gate, and an old man in white emerged.
