245: Chapter 245: Grudges between Two Palaces, Holy Dragon Seven Seals 245: Chapter 245: Grudges between Two Palaces, Holy Dragon Seven Seals The arena was still eerily quiet.

Everyone stared intently at Sikong Jing until he and the other two were taken away by Master Wang, and then a tumultuous uproar ensued, “Are you kidding?

A Spirit Martial Root reached the Innate Realm?”

“Could it be that he is not a Spirit Martial Root?” someone else asked.

But this conjecture was immediately dismissed by the older students, “He definitely is a Spirit Martial Root, otherwise, Dean Bai would never have left like that; he had just checked him thoroughly.”

Suddenly, everyone was baffled again.

How could a Spirit Martial Root make such a breakthrough?

“It’s not unprecedented in history either.

Didn’t the Long Night Empire have such a person a thousand years ago?” someone else spoke up.

“Indeed, it is said that person also had an extremely strong combat power and was deemed invincible under Xuantian,” explained someone knowledgeable about history.

“But that person only reached the Innate Realm at the age of forty.”

“I’ve heard of him too, but his end was quite tragic, offending people everywhere, fond of tough battles.”

“He was eventually blasted into pieces by a master of the Xuantian Realm.”

“In other words, even if he was lucky enough to reach the Innate Realm, reaching the Xuantian Realm would still be impossible.

If he had just accepted reality, he could have been considered somewhat powerful.

But such characters are inherently insecure and prone to self-destruction.”

With this explanation, the spirits of the two from Eagle Domain were lifted considerably, for Sikong Jing indeed loved courting death.

Dean Bai Changwu’s face had turned extremely somber, almost as if he had been slapped in public.

Even if Sikong Jing successfully entered Xingluo Palace, it would definitely not be easy for him.

Gu Wei’s expression darkened to the extreme as he muttered to himself, “I must kill him with my own hands.”

…

The tests continued at the gate, while Sikong Jing and his group had been led by Master Wang to a huge courtyard, reserved for those who had passed the first three rounds of martial tests and were eligible for the final Martial Combat Test.

Each person had a room to themselves, and the Martial Combat Test would take place the next day.

Just after entering the room, Elder Wei stared intently at Sikong Jing and asked, “How did you do it?”

Sikong Jing certainly understood what Elder Wei wanted to inquire, he replied, “I have always felt that I could break through to the Innate Realm, so I constantly told General Ning not to worry about my Martial Root.”

He didn’t answer, because it was after he completely mastered the Beast Skill Black Vortex Fist that he could break through directly to the Innate Realm.

Just like that, but this was difficult to explain.

Twitching the corner of his mouth, Elder Wei didn’t know what to say, as this was something utterly inexplicable.

Even Sikong Jing himself probably didn’t know how he managed to break through.

Elder Wei also gradually got used to it because ever since he began interacting with Sikong Jing, he had been continually creating impossible miracles.

Suddenly, Elder Wei thought of something serious, and said, “Sikong Jing, there’s something I must tell you.

The enmity between Xingluo Academy and Holy Dragon Academy is deep-seated.”

“You must forget about the incident with Tan Yue; as soon as you join Xingluo Academy, you will inevitably have to oppose Tan Yue.”

Sikong Jing understood this from the expressions of Dean Bai and the others.

Then, Elder Wei continued, “The enmity between the two major academies has existed since ancient times, and the hatred between Long Night Star Palace and Long Night Saint Dragon Palace is as deep as the ocean, impossible to resolve.”

“Did you see a giant footprint on your way here?”

At this moment, Su Yuexi took over the conversation, asking, “We all saw it, that huge footprint is so strange, why would it suddenly appear amidst a group of buildings and not be buried?”

Sikong Jing was also puzzled as that giant footprint was near the courtyard and seemed completely out of place.

“Because it can’t be buried, and even if it’s enclosed by walls, they would soon collapse—it contains terrifying power.”

“Later, the Xingluo Palace simply stopped dealing with it, letting the footprint remain there to remind all Xingluo Students and those from the Holy Dragon Palace of their hatred.

Yes, it was someone from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace who did it.”

As Elder Wei explained, Sikong Jing’s eyes slightly narrowed.

To imprint a footprint inside the Xingluo Palace was like slapping their faces, leaving a swelling that would never subside.

“It is said that this was left by a powerful figure from the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace hundreds of years ago.

His lover was killed by the Xingluo Palace.

He devoted himself to cultivation and acquired a Holy Dragon as his mount.”

“Ten years later, with one spear and one dragon, he stormed the Long Night Star Palace, slaughtering all his enemies.”

“But that was not enough to vent his anger.

He merged with the power of the Holy Dragon and imprinted seven Dragon Seals inside the Long Night Star Palace, declaring that if the Xingluo Palace did not relocate, the seven Dragon Seals would remain there forever, never to fade.”

“In the end, he left triumphantly, and this incident also became the glory and a talking point for the Long Night Saint Dragon Palace.”

Sikong Jing vividly imagined that mighty figure from the Holy Dragon Palace, commanding respect.

At this time, Su Yuexi asked doubtfully, “Elder Wei, the strong figures at the main Xingluo Academy should be able to erase it, right?

Why has it been left here for hundreds of years?”

The Long Night Star Palace is just a branch of the Xingluo Academy.

The Main Academy surely has incredibly powerful individuals.

“If the Main Academy comes to erase it, wouldn’t that be even more humiliating?”

“You must understand, that powerful figure from the Holy Dragon Palace was from the Long Night Empire.

If anyone were to erase it, it should be someone from the Long Night Empire.”

“And that person, back then, was merely a student.”

Sikong Jing and Su Yuexi instantly understood that this was something the Long Night Star Palace used to remind its students, and it was also a demand from the Main Academy to the Long Night Star Palace to resolve it themselves.

Even better if it could be eradicated by a student, otherwise, they could never recover their pride.

“I heard that recently, an extremely formidable student has emerged in the Long Night Star Palace who might have the chance to eradicate the Holy Dragon Seven Seals.”

Elder Wei then added another comment…

Sikong Jing did not care much about this, as he similarly had no interest in meddling with the feud between the Holy Dragon Academy and the Xingluo Academy.

His only goal was to heal Su Yuexi, allowing her to resume her martial arts training.

For now, he cared only about this, leaving the rest for later, dealing with each obstacle as it came.

Late at night, Sikong Jing consumed the second demon beast core.

It was the Xuantian Realm demon beast core he had obtained from Wang Xiang and Wang Wei…

The core represented everything about the demon beast, and it also demonstrated the workings of demonic power within the beast.

But it wasn’t so straightforward; Sikong Jing needed to seriously comprehend it.

“Dragon?”

No sooner had Sikong Jing swallowed it than a glint sparked in his eyes, and an image of a dragon-like demon beast appeared in his mind.

However, this demon dragon was nowhere comparable to the Golden Divine Dragon from the Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison.

Its whole body was fiery red, with wings growing on its back.

The bones on its wings were like long spears that extended out, sharp and lethal.

After attempting to comprehend it for a while, Sikong Jing opened his eyes and thought: “Without seeing the demon beast directly, it’s still too difficult to comprehend.

I wonder if the Long Night Empire even has such demon dragons?”

Of course, he definitely didn’t have time to look for demon dragons now.

He could only calm his mind again and resume his pondering and comprehension, extending and retracting meridians over and over.

He did not know how much time had passed when suddenly, Sikong Jing felt an intuition and stepped out of his room.

Unconsciously, he found himself walking toward the nearby Holy Dragon Footprint, as if some force had drawn him there.
