Chapter 516: The Flower Demon Sect

Together with Liu Wenli, Lin Chao entered Tailin Academy.

Life in the Academy was very different from life in the Qingxu Sect.

One must attend classes in the morning, while the afternoon is for "chuchen."

So-called chuchen is when many students organize spontaneously to gather and discuss coursework or spar.

The night is time for self-cultivation.

For Lin Chao, discussing coursework can be skipped.

He has been cultivating bitterly.

Or rather, accumulating attribute points.

The stronger his strength, the more attribute points he accumulates each day.

His strength growth is also faster.

Amidst the calm life, many inconspicuous things also happened.

For example, Wu Zunquan of the Qingxu Sect was reported to the Academy for molesting a female student and was ultimately expelled from the Academy.

This matter caused quite a stir in Tailin Academy.

At the time, when Liu Wenli heard this, he even told Lin Chao that Wu Zunquan deserved it, and that evil brings its own retribution.

Regarding the outcome for Wu Zunquan, Lin Chao was not surprised.

He did not kill Wang Longyang.

And since Wang Longyang dared not retaliate against him, he would naturally vent his anger, and the person he would find would naturally be Wu Zunquan.

Wu Zunquan thought that by relying on Wang Longyang, he would walk the path to success.

But he did not expect that offending Lin Chao had already sealed his fate.

"Above Nascent Soul is Spirit Severing, and above Spirit Severing is Void Refinement.

As for me now... I had better improve my martial arts first."

Lin Chao thought for a moment and placed his attribute points into martial arts.

Literary Arts improves too quickly, and for him now, it does not provide a significant increase in martial power.

In an instant, Qi Yang used his attribute points on martial arts.

His martial arts broke through once again.

"However, there is still quite a distance to Second Grade," Lin Chao muttered to himself.

A Second Grade martial artist can already be considered a true powerhouse in one region.

In Tailin Academy, there is a special wanted list from the Zhenyuan Kingdom.

This list is called the Black Blood List, and it contains some of the great bandits or wanted criminals of the Zhenyuan Kingdom.

In the top ten of the Black Blood List, eight are First Grade martial artists.

The ninth and tenth are Second Grade martial artists.

These martial artists on the list have been wanted by the Zhenyuan Kingdom for years, and the bounties are huge, yet they have never been caught, which shows how high their strength is.

A Second Grade martial artist is indeed an expert; some sect leaders are Second Grade martial artists.

As for First Grade, they are even more of an Overlord in a region.

The current Lin Chao has already reached Third Grade, and his strength is definitely considered formidable.

"However, I still must be a bit careful." During this time in Tailin Academy, besides studying, the thing Lin Chao did most was cultivation.

He knew that anyone who cultivates to the Nascent Soul stage is qualified to control a Dao Soldier and possess power that exceeds ordinary people.

The reason the Zhenyuan Kingdom is able to suppress the world is because it controls all the Dao Soldiers.

To control a Dao Soldier is to control power like that of ghosts and gods.

Summoning wind and rain, and breaking an army of ten thousand alone, is no longer a legend.

This is something that Second Grade martial artists, and the vast majority of First Grade martial artists, cannot do.

As for martial artists, in the eyes of those powerful Dao Soldier Users, they are nothing but toys.

Only First Grade martial artists, and a very small number of First Grade martial artists at that, are truly worthy of being valued by the Zhenyuan Kingdom and the Holy Sect.

Second Grade martial artists and First Grade martial artists are only one grade apart, but the gap is immense; it is a qualitative change.

Martial artists challenging those of a higher level is very common in the Zhenyuan Kingdom.

But to this day, there has never been a record of a Second Grade martial artist head-on killing a First Grade martial artist.

This shows the terrifying nature of First Grade martial artists.

"Xia Yang."

At this moment, a knock sounded at the door, and Liu Wenli's voice came through.

"Come in," Lin Chao said.

Liu Wenli pushed the door open and entered, his face carrying a look of deep exhaustion.

Clearly, cultivating Literary Arts was a difficult task for him.

"Xia Yang, tomorrow is the bathing day, Zhao... Zhao Qingyan wants to invite you to gather with the people from the Qingxu Sect." When he said this, Liu Wenli was somewhat apprehensive.

Back then, he had parted ways with Lin Chao and the others from the Qingxu Sect.

At the time, many people even mocked him.

But later, Lin Chao snatched the quota back.

The people of the Qingxu Sect were shocked and confused, not knowing what had happened.

Especially Wu Zunquan, who was even more terrified and uneasy.

Later, because Wu Zunquan left the Academy for some reason, these people from the Qingxu Sect realized that Lin Chao's return to the Academy was not a fluke, and there must have been something fishy behind it.

They suspected that Lin Chao must have a background.

As for Lin Chao, these people felt some fear in their hearts.

Therefore, it was Zhao Qingyan who invited Lin Chao through Liu Wenli; this was a gesture of goodwill toward Lin Chao.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chao's eyes were calm: "It is not easy to get an outing, why would I waste it on such matters?"

"I have no interest in gathering with them."

Lin Chao refused.

Hearing this, Liu Wenli breathed a sigh of relief.

He found Zhao Qingyan and the others disgusting.

Xia Yang answering this way was exactly to his liking.

"Could it be that you have plans for your outing, Xia Yang?" Liu Wenli asked.

An outing is a holiday from the Academy, with seven days every month, which can be considered a long time.

"No." Lin Chao shook his head.

Liu Wenli thought of something and said: "Recently, evil people have infiltrated Tai Ling Prefecture. The prefecture is not very safe, so you should be careful."

"Evil people?" Lin Chao became interested.

"I heard they are from those evil cults; we students of the Academy need to be even more careful," Liu Wenli said, lowering his voice.

As for what are called evil cults, Lin Chao knew they were sects that worshipped the Evil God.

And the Holy Palace, as the state religion, worshipped the True God.

All other deities were considered Evil Gods.

Therefore, all evil cults were full of hatred for disciples of the Holy Sect and treated them as enemies.

And since the Academy was an institution subordinate to the Holy Sect, Lin Chao could also be considered a disciple of the Holy Sect, so it was normal for him to be viewed with hostility by evil cults.

"For this group to dare to rashly enter a major prefecture, I fear their plot is not small," Lin Chao said.

In the Zhenyuan Kingdom, evil cults were like rats crossing the street, ruthlessly suppressed by the Holy Sect.

Daring to come to Tai Ling Prefecture and even letting word leak out meant they had no choice but to come.

Or, they had something to rely on.

"I don't know any more information." Liu Wenli only knew the surface details.

Lin Chao did not dwell on these matters any further.

If the evil cult's plot was large, then generally speaking, it certainly had nothing to do with him.

If an inconspicuous evil cultist provoked him, Lin Chao would not mind sending them to meet their god.

The next day, Lin Chao left the Tailin Academy.

Outside the Academy, soldiers clad in armor patrolled the road; the area near the Academy alone was much more heavily guarded than before.

"I didn't expect it to be the Flower Demon Sect," Lin Chao muttered.

Last night, he went to see Wang Longyang and obtained more information about the evil cult.

The evil cult that had come to Tai Ling Prefecture this time was the Flower Demon Sect.

Lin Chao had even dealt with this evil cult before.

Mo Quan of the Damang Bandits was a member of the Flower Demon Sect.

And according to what Wang Longyang said, the Flower Demon Sect's arrival in Tai Ling Prefecture this time was led by a Sacrificial Shepherd.

Their target was a Dao Soldier.

This Dao Soldier was once one of the three divine artifacts of the Flower Demon Sect.

Now, this Dao Soldier was within Tai Ling Prefecture.
