I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Money! Always money!"

A million for a single word, not even this damn 'a word's worth thousands' comes close to being this expensive!

Since they had already left the Mist Array, the people from the four elite institutes had no mood to continue wasting time with a brat. How formidable Super God Academy was—they would find out for themselves in a little while.

"Hey, don't you guys go!"

"I'll give you a discount, at worst I'll charge 100,000 Euros per word!"

"A million to answer one question!"

"Wah wah wah, it's rare to find so many rich fools, I earned less today, wah wah wah!"

...

"This mountain only looked two to three hundred meters high from a distance, why does it actually feel so strenuous to climb?" The group felt as if they had climbed at least four or five hundred meters, but they seemed to still be halfway up the mountain.

"Teachers, come and look at this!"

Suddenly, a student from the Holy Knights Academy discovered some strange marks on the rocks nearby, marks that were strong and forceful, penetrating three inches into the rock, seemingly made by a sword's blade.

"Hiss!" The student reached out to touch the mark, but a sharp pain shot through his fingertips, and mysteriously, a cut appeared on his cell phone, from which blood slowly seeped out.

"This is Sword Qi!" Xerxes said, "I once sparred with an Elder from Realm Island who explained that this kind of Sword Qi requires decades of sword practice, and moreover, an Ancient Martial Artist who has reached the Heavenly Origin Boundary, could leave such marks on rocks and trees, and they can even last for years or decades without fading."

"I didn't expect Super God Academy to have such an Ancient Martial Artist," Xerxes said, "This Sword Qi is even stronger than that of the Elder from Realm Island!"

"One!"

"Two!"

"One!"

"Two!" Just as they were shocked by the Sword Qi, a synchronized chant came from not too far away.

Following the sound, they came upon a rather spacious clearing halfway up the mountain, where dozens of boys and girls dressed in white were practicing their swordsmanship.

"Are these the students of Super God Academy?" They noticed that the emblem on the chest of the clothes was a uniform symbol, seemingly the school badge of the Academy.

"Hahaha, what era are we in that these Huaxia people are still practicing swordsmanship like this."

"What use are these fancy but ineffectual moves? Aren't they the same as those ordinary martial arts schools in the secular world? What kind of lethality can such swordsmanship produce when trained?"

"It looks like Super God Academy ain't all that!"

"Isn't this the Taiji Sword from Huaxia? Probably it's only good for physical fitness and health preservation. To think we were almost scared by this level of skill!"

At the other four elite institutes, their learning and training are much more rigorous compared to these seemingly fancy forms. In their eyes, this set of sword moves was not much different from the calisthenics of ordinary junior and high school students.

But in the next moment, their expressions changed completely.

This sword play, despite being performed slowly, suddenly caused countless flashes and shadows of blades to appear before their eyes, engulfing the entire platform!

Only then did they notice that the ground and walls near the platform were covered with deep sword slashes!

"Sword Qi, all of these are Sword Qi!"

"Magic Shield!"

"Ice Shield!"

The magicians and psychics were suddenly intimidated by the scattered Sword Qi.

"Wasn't it said that only Martial Artists above the Heavenly Origin Boundary level who have also studied swordsmanship for decades to reach the unity of human and sword can possess Sword Qi?"

"How come these young people, who appear to be only around 20 years old, all have Sword Qi? Could they all be old monsters who have used some sort of drug to rejuvenate themselves?"

They were ravaged by the Blade Storm for a good ten seconds before those youths finally came to a halt.

The leader was a young man in blue clothing, who seemed to be a bit older than the rest, or perhaps held a slightly higher status.

"Alright, that's enough morning training for today. Everyone go back to practice well, take a bath and get ready for class!"

Morning training? They call that terrifying Sword Array morning training?

Even a Psychic of the Super God tier, if they were to enter such a Sword Qi-ravaged Sword Array alone, would either die or be skinned alive, and they treat it merely as morning training?

"Yo! So you guys are here!" A voice suddenly came from behind as the sneaky representatives of the four major academies heard it.

A handsome young man was grinning at them from behind, "You must be the headmasters and leaders of the four major academies, right? Why are you hiding here? Hurry up the mountain, lest others say we're not hospitable!"

"Oh, right, let me introduce myself first. I am Director Zhang Menglong of the Super God Academy. I welcome you all to our academy today for an exchange and learning session," said Zhang Menglong, "and these are some of my students."

Standing beside Zhang Menglong were Chen Bingyu and others, including the girl who had just worn a pair of twin braids, Chen Xiaoyuan, who made a face at them.

"Sorry about the trouble caused by Xiaoyuan just now."

"It's no trouble at all," since Director Zhang had been so cordial, the headmasters of the four schools didn't feel it was appropriate to say anything. Moreover, having witnessed the morning training of the Super God Academy students, they were suddenly feeling somewhat wary of this mysterious Eastern power.

"Director Zhang, the ones here... during morning training, are they your Core Disciples?"

"Core Disciples?"

"Oh, you know, similar to a specialized class," although they taught Magic and Supernatural Abilities, even in the four major academies, there were distinctions between regular and specialized classes. Those with better Gifts would receive special training and guidance in the specialized classes.

"Oh, those are students from a branch of our Super God Academy," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "Their talents aren't good enough to stay at the main academy, they still fall quite short!"

"Just students from a branch school?"

"They're this young and can use Sword Qi, and you call that not talented?"

"Come, please, this way!" Zhang Menglong led them towards the top of the mountain.

"Director Zhang, I have a question I'd like to ask, could you please help us clear up a doubt?"

"Please go ahead," Zhang Menglong said with a smile.

"In the past, our four major academies had joint education exchanges with Realm Island, but this year we suddenly lost contact with Realm Island, and then your Super God Academy rose rapidly. I was wondering if there is any connection between the two?"

"Oh, you mean Realm Island," Zhang Menglong replied, "They had someone who wanted to take my brother's woman, and I gave him a lesson."

"But we sent quite a number of owls to contact Realm Island, and if it was just a lesson, we should still be able to make contact with them."

"Yes, they haven't participated in this year's Five Academies Competition either."

"So those owls were yours?" Zhang Menglong suddenly realized.

"You've seen those owls?"

"Of course, I've seen them," Zhang Menglong said, "I've turned their Realm Island into a resort, and I go there every now and then to stay for a few days. As for the owls..."

Zhang Menglong suddenly looked embarrassed.

"What happened to those owls?" asked Dean Bardot, knowing that these owls weren't ordinary; cultivating even one took a lot of resources and care, making them highly valuable.

"Uh... let me just say, I really didn't do it on purpose," Zhang Menglong said, "I thought those owls were indigenous creatures of Realm Island, I... I caught them and roasted them. They tasted quite nice, very chewy, especially with cumin sprinkled on. My friends and I couldn't stop drooling over them!"
