“Yes, master, I believe I heard correctly!” Galen Blackthorn replied to the headmaster’s question, which almost simultaneously echoed among the other masters.
Galen Blackthorn then proceeded to recount how Julius forcibly cultivated to enhance his martial spirit realm. He also described how, in the final moments, Julius regained consciousness from his faint and successfully employed a technique to defeat his opponent. Galen Blackthorn’s tale truly surprised the masters who listened.
“Chairman, do you think this disciple has mastered the Royal Sword Intent? Even though his martial spirit realm is still in the Heavenly Spirit Realm, he has managed to master that legendary sword technique,” asked Master Frostfire to the chairman of the God Tower Academy.
“It’s possible, Master Frostfire! It’s not unlikely that this disciple possesses a high-level sword intent, enabling him to wield that legendary sword technique,” replied Master Magnus Raven, though his response sounded somewhat uncertain.
Sword intent is a power that exists within cultivators. Not all cultivators possess sword intent; it all depends on the abilities they’ve learned. Sword intent is divided into seven levels:
1. Basic Level
2. Knight Level
3. Master Level
4. Royal Level
5. Emperor Level
6. God Level
“It seems this child does indeed possess a high-level sword intent. Perhaps higher than the Royal Level we assumed. I’ve examined the injuries he sustained, and they weren’t caused by his opponent’s strength but by his own power. He’s currently suffering from two different injuries, which is why he’s having difficulty regaining consciousness,” stated Master Rylan Dragon after confirming Julius’s condition through his examination.
“What do you mean, Master Rylan? What are the two injuries the child suffered?” asked Master Raven, the chairman of the Divine Tower Academy.
“The injuries he sustained are of two kinds. First, he was injured by a force that reversed, likely due to forcibly breaking through cultivation levels while his body couldn’t cope. As a result, the burst of power emanating from his martial spirit ended up injuring his own internal organs. But the second injury is more severe; several of his meridian pathways are damaged, and some are heavily injured due to the powerful slashing force of the sword intent. I believe this is because the sword technique he used was too powerful, causing some of his power to injure himself as his martial spirit couldn’t withstand the force of his sword technique.”
“Are you sure, Master Rylan?” this time Master Frostfire asked, seeking confirmation.
Master Rylan nodded, “I’m sure. You can check the other disciples; they must also have been affected by the outburst of power from the Sword Intent that this child couldn’t control,” he said again.
Master Frostfire immediately knelt down and examined the condition of Galen Blackthorn and the other three disciples. His face showed an extraordinary astonishment, a sight observed by the gathering masters. Master Frostfire then nodded and said, “Master Rylan is correct, chairman. These four disciples have suffered sword slashing injuries. Fortunately, their wounds are not severe. With some healing medicine from the health division and resting for a day or two without exerting any power, I believe they will fully recover. Their injuries are just collateral damage, not from a direct attack.”

“In that case, okay! Take the kid named Julius to the medical center. For now, we will keep this incident a secret so that no one else finds out. And you students, let no one discuss this matter after this. Understand?”
“Understood Master!” answered Galen Blackthorn and the three other students in unison.
A moment later everyone left the scene of the fight. Previously, Master Frostfire, with his high-level technique, made the place, which was previously a mess, seem like nothing had ever happened. The place looked so neat as if there had been no fight before.
So, what exactly caused the great masters of God’s Tower Academy to be there?
Previously, the great masters had gathered in the main hall of God’s Tower Academy to hold a meeting with all the great masters of the four academies. However, just as the great Masters had gathered, they felt the emanation of a strange, powerful energy and were fighting in the God Tower Academy area. At first, they thought their guests were coming and there was a clash because of an argument. It is common knowledge that several professors from one academy and another in the four major academies often quarrel and end up in a fight. However, to their surprise, when they came to the place, what they found were the students of the God’s Tower Academy who were injured.
The professors returned to the assembly hall. There, none of the visiting professors from other academies had yet arrived. But not long after, the long-awaited guests appeared. About a cup of tea later, all the guests had arrived at the place.
“Welcome to all the great Masters from God Cloud Academy, God Statue Academy, and Nine Gods Academy. “Sorry if our welcome did not satisfy you,” said Magnus Raven, the chairman of the Tower of Gods Academy, opening the conversation while saluting the guests who had arrived.
The guests simultaneously rose from their seats and returned the salute paid by the chairman of the God’s Tower Academy. After that they returned to their seats. They regularly hold this meeting once a year and each academy takes turns hosting it.
“Our meeting this time should have directly discussed the Inter-Tower Competition which we usually hold once a year. But before we discuss that issue, there is a guest from the royal side who wants to tell us something. “Soon the guest will arrive,” said the chairman of the God’s Tower Academy.
The Masters of the other three academies looked at each other. They did not understand what the royal party meant by coming and taking part in their meeting this time. In fact, it is very rare for the royal party to come to the cultivator academy and take part in meetings.
“General Kieran Stormrider from the Wind Cloud kingdom arrives!”
A soldier’s loud shout was heard announcing the arrival of a General from the Wind Cloud Kingdom whose territory reached as far as Eldoria City. A few moments later a dashing man appeared dressed as a general. The man’s age is around 50 years old. He immediately sat down with a rather arrogant face in the chair he had brought himself. Luxurious chairs typical of royal palaces.
“Sorry in advance if my arrival disturbs your meeting. There is something important I want to convey regarding the appearance of the Demonic Sect in several cities in the Wind Cloud Kingdom region recently.” Even though he apologized, General Kieran’s face seemed cynical and condescending.
