He was resurrected indefinitely and handed over to the state by the headmistress.

Hua Zhanyue glanced indifferently at the dark mass of people below.

With a wave of his hand, the eleven cyan sleeve swords obediently flew into his hand.

He then landed and returned to the deck of the airship.

"Sure, a swordsman!!"

Miao Tiaojun was the first to rush forward, slapping Hua Zhanyue hard on the shoulder with genuine admiration.

"I never knew you were a hidden genius!"

It was able to simulate the swordsman's intent, scaring away those deadly creatures!

Awesome! Absolutely fucking awesome!

He was completely convinced now. Sure enough, this guy spent all his time with his sword and barely paid any attention to women.

It's not that there's a problem with his personality, it's that he's truly dedicated his soul to the way of the sword!

Hua Zhanyue simply brushed Miao Tiaojun's hand away expressionlessly, ignoring his chatter.

He walked straight to Lu Chen and Hua Xiyu, respectfully holding up the eleven cyan sleeve swords with both hands, his voice cold and clear:

"Ancestor, Grandmother."

This was taken from the sword formation by the junior.

They can be used as sword tokens for a short period of time.

"With these, the sword formation will no longer attack us."

"Good, that's thoughtful of you."

Hua Xiyu nodded in satisfaction, her beautiful face beaming with an even wider smile.

With a gentle wave of her hand, eleven hidden swords flew up automatically, one for each person.

Canglong and the others quickly reached out and grabbed it, only to find it was icy cold to the touch.

He could faintly sense the Azure Lotus Sword Qi contained within, which greatly reassured him.

Lu Chen and Bibi Dong also casually put away their hidden swords.

Although they were not afraid of the sword formation with their strength, it was better to avoid trouble and have proof.

"boom!!!"

Just as everyone sheathed their hidden swords,

A figure in a crisp military uniform, with white hair and beard,

It crashed heavily onto the deck of the airship like a meteorite!

The airship suddenly creaked under the strain, shook violently, and almost capsized!

"Hey! Old man! You're looking for...?"

Miao Tiaojun was so shocked that he staggered, and his temper flared up instantly. He opened his mouth to curse.

"Ughhhhhh—!!"

Huo Lingfei, standing nearby, was terrified and reacted swiftly.

She rushed forward and tightly covered Miao Tiaojun's mouth, cold sweat pouring down her forehead.

With a smile more painful than tears plastered on his face, he repeatedly apologized to the fallen old man:

"General Shangguan! It's a misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

These are my friends, who are also students from Kunlun Academy who came here for military training!

I'm new here and don't know the rules. I apologize for any offense I may have caused!

The person who arrived was none other than Shangguan Zheng.

He completely ignored Huo Lingfei's explanation and Miao Tiaojun's struggles, his bright eyes...

He was staring intently at Hua Zhanyue, who held a long sword and exuded a sharp aura, and muttered to himself:

"Sword bones formed by nature... body and sword as one... will connected with the blue lotus... good... good! Good indeed! Hahaha!!"

The more he looked, the more excited he became, and finally he couldn't help but burst into laughter. His laughter was hearty and resounding, revealing the ecstatic joy of discovering a priceless treasure.

Huo Lingfei's heart skipped a beat when he saw Shangguan Zheng's "crazy" appearance; he immediately sensed that something terrible was about to happen.

He knew very well how serious and old-fashioned this old man was usually.

"This old man... he looks kind of familiar?"

Hua Xiyu narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly at this moment.

He scrutinized Shangguan Zheng's aged face for a long time.

Suddenly, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, forming a meaningful smile.

"I never expected to run into a descendant of an old friend here..."

"Hey, Huo Lingfei, are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

Miao Tiaojun finally managed to break free, panting, and looked at Shangguan Zheng with suspicion.

"Is this seemingly eccentric old man really the undisputed general of your defense line? He doesn't seem like it at all!"

"I think so too..." Canglong chimed in quietly, and seeing Shangguan Zheng's drooling gaze at Hua Zhanyue, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"You know nothing! Shut up, all of you! Don't talk nonsense!"

Huo Lingfei glared fiercely at the two arrogant fat men and warned them in a low voice.

The Shangguan family is one of the truly reclusive great families in the Dragon Kingdom, with unfathomable foundations, no less than the Huo family from which he came!

General Shangguan Zheng is on very good terms with his father and his strength is unfathomable. How could they possibly comment on him so casually?

"Hey kid! What's your name?!"

Shangguan Zheng's laughter ceased, and his figure flashed like a ghost; everyone only saw a blur before their eyes.

He appeared before Hua Zhanyue in an instant, his hands calloused yet incredibly powerful.

He slung his arm heavily over Hua Zhanyue's shoulders, his face filled with excitement.

"Are you willing to join the army, serve your country, and guard the frontier?!"

With your talent in swordsmanship, staying in the academy would be a complete waste!

The border battlefield is your best whetstone!

"I can personally introduce you to the most elite 'Demon-Slaying Sword Camp'!"

"So fast!!"

This time, even Lu Chen's pupils shrank slightly.

The old man's speed was astonishing, and his movements were so exquisite that they far surpassed those of ordinary experts.

Zanglong, Miaotiao Jun, and the others didn't even see how he moved.

I felt a gust of wind pass by, and the person was already in front of me.

"What's going on?! Why can't I move?!"

Hua Zhanyue was even more shocked.

He tried to use his sword energy to break free from the other's control, but found that the hands on his shoulders felt incredibly heavy, making it impossible for him to move even a finger!

The opponent's strength far exceeded his expectations!

"senior!"

Hua Zhanyue forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and calmly responded.

"This junior is Hua Zhan Yue. Thank you for your high regard, senior, but I have no intention of joining the army at the moment. I am only here to complete the academy's military training. Please... give me a break!"

"Hua Zhan Yue? Excellent! A fine name! He lives up to his name, possessing the talent to slay the moon; truly a swordsmanship genius!"

Shangguan Zheng seemed not to hear his refusal, still excitedly rambling incoherently, and tightened his grip on Hua Zhanyue's shoulder even more.

"It's okay! You can change your mind!"

The bloodshed on the frontier, the roar of demons, the trust placed in comrades...

I'll make you love this place, and love this uniform you're wearing!

He seemed to have put Lu Chen's matter out of his mind.

All that remained in his eyes was Hua Zhanyue, this "peerless gem".

"Come on! I'll take you to meet someone first! I'll find you a great mentor! I guarantee you'll learn ten times more than you would in the academy!"

As Shangguan was speaking, he was about to pull Hua Zhanyue away from the flying boat.

"Senior! Please let go!"

Hua Zhanyue was both anxious and angry, but there was nothing she could do.

Just then, a gentle figure stepped lightly and blocked Shangguan Zheng's path.

It was Hua Xiyu.

"Excuse me, young lady, don't block the old man's way."

At this moment, Shangguan Zheng's mind was entirely on Hua Zhanyue. Seeing someone blocking his way, he didn't think twice and reached out, intending to gently push Hua Xiyu aside as if clearing away irrelevant debris.

In his perception, this woman, though possessing stunning beauty and an ethereal气质,

However, its aura is gentle and peaceful, and it does not pose a strong threat.

However, he had only reached halfway with his hand.

"Snapped!"

A crisp, loud striking sound rang out!

Suddenly, Hua Xiyu appeared in his hand with a ruler that was entirely made of jade.

It struck Shangguan Zheng's hand with perfect precision!

Shangguan Zheng's hand trembled slightly as he felt a strange force penetrate into his arm, making his entire arm feel numb.

He looked up in astonishment.

Hua Xiyu looked at him with her beautiful eyes curving upwards, her red lips parted slightly, and she uttered a form of address that instantly froze Shangguan Zheng's old face:

"Little Zhengzi, it's been decades since I last saw you. You've grown quite a handful, haven't you? Why didn't you greet me when you saw me?"

Xiao...Xiao Zhengzi? ? ?

Huo Lingfei was completely stunned. His mouth was agape, wide enough to fit an egg, and his mind went completely blank.

What kind of address is this?!

Why does it sound like an elder addressing a junior, or even a teasing one?

Could it be that this stunningly beautiful woman, who looks no more than twenty years old,

Is he actually older than General Shangguan Zheng?!

How is this possible?!
