Chapter 150 - The Sword Wound Is Hard to Heal (2/2)

In no way do Gao Ge’s attainments in swordsmanship exceed those of Xiao Linran.

“By the way, I have prepared a sheath for your long sword.”

Xiao Linran throws over the long sword that Qin Yan sent Gao Ge before.

When he draws the sword out of the sheath, he feels surprised at the scarlet blade.

“Can’t the blood on the blade be removed?”

“It has been on the blade for hundreds of years. You tell me.” Xiao Linran says smilingly, “Yet, Qin Yan didn’t lie to you. This sword is a good thing. When you confront the enemy, it is surely not as good as your Flying Star Sword. However, when you use it to cope with some ghosts, it will work like a charm. Put it away.”

Gao Ge nods his head. He will do the same thing even if Xiao Linran doesn’t say that. The sword is a good thing. Despite its value, he will cherish it anyway. After all, it is a gift from Qin Yan, the general who never fell down even after he died in the battlefield. He will never forget this man.

This man is a real strong general and hero.

It is a pity that he hasn’t had a carry-on space with himself. His star map can only keep the Flying Star Sword but it cannot keep the long sword. It is impractical to take the long sword with himself all the time.

After leaving the Sword Gallery, Gao Ge returns to the dorm. According to Yue Xincheng, the contest will be held in three days. The Academy has almost completed the preparation for that. Gao Ge is not surprised at all. To his actual surprise, after the coming contest is over, what the next contest will be held remains unknown. The contest won’t be held every month.

Gao Ge thinks for a while and figures out the reason.

After this contest, the Cultivation Academy will fall into the turmoil of personnel allocation. Everyone will not have the energy to prepare for the contest. Furthermore, it is too frequent to hold the contest every month.

In the following three days, while having class, Gao Ge has an obvious feeling that his classmates are not so thrilled about him as before.

His classmates can understand Gao Ge. After all, even they want to be upgraded. No one wants to stay in the Class Chaos for the whole life. Yet, despite that, they cannot accept the fact that Gao Ge may leave. It is not a long time since Gao Ge came to No. 8 Class Chaos. Nevertheless, they have got a feeling of glory ever since. With Gao Ge in No. 8 Class Chaos, the whole class feel so proud and confident.

If Gao Ge leaves, the No. 8 Class Chaos will recover as before and become the bottom of the Cultivation Academy.

Liu Zhongyi may have noticed that so he has a talk with Gao Ge on purpose, telling him not to feel stressed in the contest and just to do his best. Everyone will show understanding for him.

However, Liu Zhongyi feels confused about Gao Ge’s reaction. No matter what Liu Zhongyi says, Gao Ge only nods his head to show he has understood and yet keeps smiling. It is quite hard to figure out what he is thinking about.

Time passes by. On the day of the contest, the Dragon Court also sends some people here. Even Tang Jiusi is following after those people just like a sidekick.

Gao Ge has met the people sent here.

The middle-aged man is sitting on the podium with Gongsun Moyang. Those are the VIP seats.

Thousands of people in the Cultivation Academy arrive here. The sound of drums and gongs fill the training field.

Many students are beaming with confident smiles, hoping to be recognized by the teachers through the contest.

The students of Class Heaven are also very nervous. Having prepared themselves well, they want to show their capability in front of the Dragon Court members. If they are lucky, they may directly be admitted by the Dragon Court.

This is the dream of every student in the Cultivation Academy.

Of course, Gao Ge dreams otherwise.

Even if he is chosen by Tang Jiusi of the Dragon Court, he is not very thrilled. For him, it is more tempting to be a free person and live at will.
