”Teacher Dongfang, bad news!”

Dongfang Yue was currently cultivating, and a shout came from outside. He immediately opened the door and saw Hong Zhao hugging Li Yuan, and asked suspiciously: ”Hong Zhao, why are you in such a hurry, what happened?”

Hong Zhao anxiously said: ”Teacher Dongfang, Li Yuan suddenly died from tempering.”

”Quenching to death?” Dongfang Yue was startled. This was the first time he had heard that a martial artist would be quenched to death, so he made Hong Zhao place Li Yuan's corpse on the ground. Then, he carefully examined Li Yuan's body.

Dongfang Yue frowned: ”It seems like his life is exhausted, it's strange.”

Hong Zhao said in disbelief: ”It can't be, he's a Lifestealer Realm practitioner after all, his Lifestealer Realm life expectancy can't be considered short, how could he possibly exhaust his lifespan at such a young age.”

Everyone's lifespan was limited, but as a warrior, their lifespan would be longer, and the higher the realm, the longer their lifespan would be. So how could Li Yuan be dead at such a young age?

Dongfang Yue shook his head. He couldn't figure out the specific reason in an instant, and asked after a moment of silence: ”Has he offended anyone recently?”

”This …” Hong Zhao did not know what to say, but after thinking for a while, she still said, ”A while ago, Li Yuan and Xiang Ling were training outside, and in the end, we ran into the three new students. It was Di Chen and the others, who escaped after Xiang Ling and Fang Hao were killed.”

”The three of them?” Dong Fang pondered for a while, and shook his head: ”If Li Yuan was truly killed by someone, I think it would be similar to a spell or curse technique, and only this kind of technique can kill people without them noticing, they are just normal warriors, they cannot do this.”

Most of the Martial Region Continent's cultivation techniques were ordinary, but there were some demonic cultivation techniques that were very evil, these types of people came and go like ghosts, killing people without a trace. If Li Yuan had really died by someone else's hands, that would be the only possibility, but it was obvious that Di Chen and the other two could not learn this evil technique.

Hong Zhao thought that it might be Di Chen's doing, but hearing Dongfang Yue's words, she felt relieved.

Dongfang Yue analyzed: ”However, there shouldn't be anyone in the Spirit Province who knows any evil techniques, and Li Yuan also doesn't have the chance to interact with such people. I think Li Yuan should be dead from quenching, find a place to properly bury his corpse.”

He nodded.

Dongfang Yue did not seem to mind Li Yuan's death at all, after all, there were many students in Famous Sword Academy, and every single one of them was normal, so he changed the topic: ”Right, you heard about the Zuo Qing who came from Clear Water Academy, he had always wanted to challenge you, with his personality, he will definitely take action, are you confident?”

”I don't want to fight him, but I'm not afraid if he insists on causing trouble,” Hong Zhao said calmly.

Dongfang Yue laughed: That's good, other than you, no other disciple can defeat Zuo Qing now.

He knew that there were still a lot of direct disciples in the Famous Sword Academy, and that was why these direct disciples were the strongest, but Dongfang Yue did not wish for these direct disciples to show their faces, so he allowed Hong Zhao to appear. It was just that this action made Hong Zhao a little unhappy, and Hong Zhao did not say anything.

However, no matter how hard Di Chen tried, he could not break through the last barrier no matter how much he read or wrote. The realm of the King Wen seemed to be very close to Di Chen but it seemed to be very far away, as if a mysterious force was blocking him from writing. For the next three days, Di Chen had yet to make a breakthrough in his realm, and the power of the scholars seemed to have reached their limits as well, making it impossible for them to increase.

”Forget it,” Di Chen said as his entire body was aching. This time, he finally gave up and left the room.

The Famous Sword Academy was different from the Sky Realm Academy. The scenery was beautiful, the air was fresh and clear, and Di Chen prepared to wander around to relax his mind.

Di Chen came to a lake and suddenly saw a man sitting by the lake. had met this man before, it was Kui Shan.

”Senior Brother Kui Shan.” Di Chen walked over and asked curiously: ”Why are you here?”

Kui Shan saw that it was Di Chen and laughed: ”Oh, so it's Di Chen, I train here everyday. Oh right, I see that you have been cultivating in your room for the past few days, how has your training been going?”

Di Chen sighed: ”There's no way to break through the current realm, there's still just a little difference.”

Kui Shan curiously looked at Di Chen, thought for a while and still asked, ”Why do you not have any spirit energy in your body, I can't even tell what realm you are in.”

Di Chen smiled mysteriously, ”I'm at the ninth stage of Life Seizing Supreme Realm, but my cultivation technique is a little special.”

Kui Shan could tell that Di Chen was deliberately hiding it from him, but she did not probe further, and laughed: ”You said that you are about to break through to the current realm, which means that you are still a bit away from becoming a Martial King. How about this, after some time, I have arranged for a few more people to go to mountain to kill demonic beast, and you will go with us.
