Chapter 960: Reopening of the Academy

The fact about the sword intent can be learned from a Sword master was something not surprising. It just needs one talent for sword and compatibility to learn something this distinct. After all, not all sword cultivators can learn sword intent. This is something only talent can learn and something that cannot be learned just by hard work alone. Now Wu Yao and Wu Zhou were told that there are two young people who had learned sword intent.

The original sword intent came from someone even younger than this couple. Then beside his younger one is another sword master who can be called God of all Swords. Now in the eyes of Wu Yao and Wu Zhou, the sword intent is no longer rare. As there is a whole team here before their eyes who can use it which leaves them all speechless.

Wu Zhou had calmed down and asked, "You two would like to enter the tutelage of the Sword Master Immortal?"

Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue glance at their Mistress, the Moon Goddess who only said, "Do as you wish. But explain to your master what your identity is and if he is willing to accept you still after knowing who you are."

The young couple understood what their mistress meant and looked at Wu Zhou then said, "We would like to meet the Sword Master Immortal."

"Then I will bring you to his place. Do you two wish to go now?" Wu Zhou said.

Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue nodded their heads and left the main peak together with Principal Wu Zhou. It was decided that the Black Cloud Academy will have two principals. One is Wu Yao and the other is Wu Zhou. The other teachers didn’t mind this at all. After all, there are too many things to handle in the academy right now. As brothers, Wu Yao and Wu Zhou trusted each other so becoming leaders at the same time is the best. Moreover, Wu Yao still needs a month for full recovery.

After the young couple left with Principal Wu Zhou, Principal Wu Yao looked at his current disciples. Even though he only wanted the Moon Goddess as his disciple, to give the Immortal Sun Emperor a reasonable reason to stay in the Black Cloud Academy, Principal Wu Yao can only accept him as his second disciple even only in name. Shen Jueyang accepted that and even bowed his head as acceptance to Wu Yao becoming his master.

Yue Xuexia said, "Jueyang, I want to boil master’s medicine for this morning."

"Okay. I will light the fire for you, Xue’er," said Shen Jueyang.

Principal Wu Yao who is seated on his rocking chair with a fish bowl in his hand that holds his Life Gu said, "What Xue’er? Call her Shijie (Senior Sister)!"

The Immortal Sun Emperor who was carrying over a small stove to boil medicine almost tripped when he heard his master’s words.

Shen Jueyang complains, "Old man, are you serious?"

"You are this old man’s second disciple and Xue’er is my first disciple. If you are not going to call her Shijie, what do you intend to call her?" Principal Wu Yao retorted.

The Immortal Sun Emperor was stunned as Principal Wu Yao’s reasoning seems to be right. However, after being an emperor for a long time, Shen Jueyang had never had someone in a higher position than him. Plus, this is his future wife. He hesitated in calling his beloved Shijie as it feels like he is trying to act young despite his age.

The Moon Goddess finally spoke, "Master, stop teasing Jueyang."

"Fine~ Kid, where’s my medicine?" Principal Wu Yao said.

On the other hand, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were brought to the Sword Tomb Peak by Principal Wu Zhou. This peak had countless swords scattered all around the mountain, Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue can feel the presence of sword spirits hiding within the area. Principal Wu Zhou can also sense it but didn’t seem to have any interest in it.

Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were looking around vigilantly as they can feel that presence that keeps them watching and it’s making them nervous. The principal noticed this but didn’t explain it to them. Only when they had reached the peak that they were welcomed by the scene of a mansion that looks like a practice area for learned swords. There is also a stele with countless sword marks forming the words Sword Tomb Peak. Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue can feel the sword’s intent left on it.

Xue Renxue mumbles, "This sword’s intent seems to be stronger than the one the Mistress had given us."

"Just what level of sword intent is this?" Tan Bingyu also mumbles.

Suddenly, a voice of a man came from behind them answering the questions they had murmured just now, "This is a level three sword intent called Sword Heart."

When the three of them turned their heads, they met an old man smiling gently at them. Behind him, is a seductive woman who is now wearing a full robe for practicing sword with a red sword hanging on her back.

Principal Wu Zhou recognized the old man and the young lady. " Lord Sword Master Immortal! I have brought the two children who have your token."

"I know them. I have found them at Outer Haven and invited them to become my disciple. If they are here doesn’t that mean that Lord Yao’s only disciple has arrived?" The Sword Master Immortal asked.

The female sword cultivator behind the Sword Master Immortal looked interested. It is so well-known that the former Principal Wu Yao had accepted a disciple in the Ancient Ruins and was announced as the Senior Sister of the whole Black Cloud Academy. The only disciple whose power is only second to all the teachers combined. That’s how much authority this senior sister possessed. There are also rumors that this senior sister is stronger than Lord Wu Yao.

"Shijie is already here!? Where is she? Can I meet her? Is she staying at the main peak where Principal Yao lives?" The female sword cultivator asked.

Her master lightly hit her on the head and said, "Rude. Don’t suddenly speak when Principal Wu Zhou is still talking."

"Sorry~" said the female sword cultivator.

Principal Wu Zhou seemed to be used to this and smiled. He said, "Martial Niece Xue had her own peak. It is the former forbidden mountain now renamed Moonlight Peak."

"I see. So she is staying," The Sword Master looked at his two chosen students and said, "Doesn’t that mean you two are willing to stay at this peak?"

Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue looked at each other and finally knelt before the Sword Master.

"Tan Bingyu (Xue Renxue) greet the Master!"

"Master, please accept our bow!"

Seeing this reaction, the Sword Master Immortal laughed. He immediately helped his two new disciples up.

"Good. The master accepts you. I am the Black Cloud Academy’s Sword Immortal. My name is Jing Wang. Welcome to Sword Tomb!"

After Tan Bingyu and Xue Renxue were accepted by the Sword Immortal, Principal Wu Zhou had to excuse himself again. The classes would resume tomorrow but the students were all asked to return today for the reassignment of rooms. Students who haven’t registered as a disciple of a Peak Master can attend all kinds of classes and they were given a dormitory area where they all stayed together. Those who had become disciples chose to return to the peaks where their masters owned as they lived there.

At the academy’s gates...

The entrances are now wide open with a group of guards standing at either side of the gate. They were checking the identity tokens of the students and checked if they were truly recorded in the school list. Some disciples under the faction of the Supreme elder and his factions were stopped at the gates and they were sent to principal Wu Yao. It was to explain the situation of their teachers and that they had longed to perish.

These disciples were given two choices. That is to leave the academy and become a rogue cultivator or once again become a student and find another teacher to become their master. As long as this master agrees to accept them, they would erase all records about their old masters and they would live their new life with their new master. Of course, those who had chosen the second option got their old memories erased by the Moon Goddess. She just needs to poke a few times on their head and erase that part of memories involving the Supreme Elder and his faction.

The vice principal had already left the academy after his blood parasite had been removed. It was unknown where he had disappeared to but this man didn’t have the face to stay in the academy after betraying the principal. After all, if not for their greed of wanting to take over the whole academy they wouldn’t have ended this way.

As for the other students, they were all delighted to come back to school especially when they saw the huge changes after the renovation. Yue Xuexia actually helped the academy make a huge Qi Gathering formation at some places within the academy grounds. Some areas were replanted with flowering trees, some with green bamboo, making the whole school transform almost into a fairyland.

Students returning from the vacation after coming back to school, "Wow~ had our academy turned into a sanctuary!"
