As the bell rang, the elders in the academy seemed to snap out of their daze, their faces showing shock.

"What just happened? Did someone cover the Dao Bell?" A Celestial God Realm elder trembled inwardly.

“Even we were caught in this trap without even realizing it,” another powerful being exclaimed in shock.

The Dao Bell should chime nine times before the strongest person in the courtyard is alerted, but just now the Dao Bell was controlled.

The Heavenly Immortal Hall was already crowded with the elders of the Academy, all clearly there because of the matter of the bell being covered up.

"Has anyone successfully passed the test?" an old man asked in the main hall, his aura ethereal.

"They did succeed in passing the test, but their power was intercepted. We dare not investigate the Dao Bell's strength being concealed," a celestial being said, his voice trembling.

Finally, an elderly man sitting at the head of the table slightly opened his eyes, his eyes containing a thousand stars, and after scanning the room, he spoke softly:

"Let's pretend this never happened, but we'll have to keep a close eye on things next time. That's all for now."

"Don't dwell on it anymore."

A huge wave of turmoil gradually subsided after the old man's words.

The scene shifts to a place in an academy where the void twists and the hazy dawn light appears. The silver-haired child leads Li Dao out and lands in a picturesque mountain range.

At the highest point of that mountain range, there stood a platinum-gold temple, radiating a holy and radiant light.

"Is this the senior's training ground?" Li Dao sensed the essence of heaven and earth, which was indeed incredibly rich.

"Yes, this is the territory the academy left me. Let's go."

The silver-haired child nodded slightly, acknowledging the situation, his eyes deep and his tone as calm as if he were chatting casually.

Upon arriving at the platinum-white dojo, a magnificent palace complex came into view.

The massive gate seemed to be built of white bones, and the murderous aura emanating from it made even Li Dao feel a chill rise from the soles of his feet.

Looking up, I saw a blood-red plaque with four ancient characters: Extreme Killing Dojo.

"This domineering name, Extreme Kill? Could it be that your name is Extreme Kill?"

Li Dao was about to ask the silver-haired child a question when he saw the child instantly turn into a wisp of white smoke and disappear from the spot.

"Come in."

Then a deep, resonant voice rang out, and the heavy gate slowly opened.

Li Dao muttered to himself, but he still stepped inside.

With a single step, the world shifted, and the scene before my eyes instantly changed.

In the blink of an eye, they appeared in an ancient hall, where three figures sat cross-legged in mid-air: an old man, a young man, and a child.

The child was the one who had come looking for him earlier. Now, sitting with the two men, he exuded an indescribable air of authority.

The three of them looked up at the same time, and then merged together, transforming into a young man with a cold and stern face.

Li Dao was startled, realizing that the child from before was merely an avatar of the person before him, and after the fusion, the aura of the person before him suddenly became somewhat ethereal.

“My name is Chen Qing. Someone awakened me from the underworld and sent me to protect you.”

"I can pass on the Killing Technique to you. After the Immortal Ancient Era, you are the only successor who can barely satisfy me."

Li Dao's heart was filled with turbulent emotions; the information contained within was simply too much.

The person before me may have come from the ancient immortal realm, and his purpose in coming here is to become my protector.

"May I ask who entrusted you with this mission, senior?" Li Dao asked breathlessly.

"Kunpeng, one of the Ten Fiends, is a comrade-in-arms who died a long time ago. Don't mention him too much when you're out in public; it won't do you any good." Chen Qing's tone was calm, but when he spoke of Kunpeng, a ripple appeared in his eyes.

Li Dao understood. Although he didn't know where Chen Qing came from, he knew that Chen Qing must be extraordinary to be valued by Kunpeng.

"Do I need to become an apprentice?" Li Dao asked again, looking at Chen Qing's appearance, somewhat unsure of what the other was thinking.

"Whatever." Chen Qing's tone remained calm.

"Greetings, Master." Li Dao felt that although the other party had already agreed to be his protector, it was still acceptable to acknowledge him as his master.

Chen Qing's eyes were somewhat dazed, then he raised his hand to help Li Dao up, nodding slightly and saying:

"In that case, from now on you will be the successor of my Extreme Killing Dojo."

Chapter 286 The Killing Technique

After Li Daoxing completed the apprenticeship ceremony, the matter of becoming an apprentice was considered to have come to an end.

By the time Li Dao was taken away by Chen Qing, his name had already swept through the entire Tianxian Academy in a short period of time.

Everyone was eagerly anticipating how much of a stir Li Dao, this prodigy who had successfully passed the test, would bring to the academy.

"Senior Sister Fengwu has emerged from seclusion. Do you think she will challenge that person?"

"I don't think he would refuse the challenge from the number one on the Heavenly Ranking. It's rumored that Feng Wu also passed the ninth level, but the news was covered up, so I don't know if it's true or not."

"If it's true, these two are widely recognized as the two strongest people in the last hundred years. I wonder what kind of sparks they will create."

Beside a spiritual pool at the Celestial Academy, a graceful figure slowly emerged from the water, her skin as white as jade, her waist slender, and her long, black hair gleaming with divine light.

Her graceful figure was shrouded in mist, making her even more alluring and charming.

With a wave of her hand, the red and white dress slowly covered her entire body, perfectly outlining her curvaceous figure.

A maidservant stepped forward and told Feng Wu about Li Dao's situation.

"Interesting. After so long, we've finally found another interesting person."

"I don't know if it's as amazing as the rumors say, but I hope it will bring me some fun."

Her phoenix eyes held the joy of meeting an opponent, as well as an absolute confidence in her own strength.

After Li Dao finished his apprenticeship ceremony, he wandered around the vast Extreme Killing Dojo.

He was quite bored being all alone here, but looking at the "Kill" token Chen Qing had given him in his hand, he no longer felt bored.

The Killing Command contains Chen Qing's legacy, but it requires one to comprehend it. Although he was inwardly skeptical, the Killing Command was indeed no ordinary legacy.

"The Killing Technique suits me perfectly."

He had already mastered the killing intent he had accumulated in the Dragon Valley of the Lower Realm, but without the assistance of supernatural powers and magical techniques, its power was still much weaker.

With the Killing Technique at this moment, a lot of trouble was saved.

After wandering around for a while, he went straight back to his cultivation room and began to cultivate.

The "Kill" command emitted a ghostly light before him, directly pulling his consciousness to a dark and eerie place, where killing intent attacked from all directions, threatening to erode him.

"To master the art of killing, one must first understand what killing is and what killing without killing is."

An ancient voice resounded in his mind, explaining the essence of the Killing Technique.

A red light flashed in Li Dao's eyes as he felt the killing intent bombarding him from all directions. The killing intent within his body also surged forth to resist the killing aura and comprehend the so-called killing without killing.

A faint red light appeared, and the entire space slowed down instantly, with only the rampant killing intent bombarding everywhere.

Time passed slowly, and news of Li Dao's attempt to enter the pass had spread to several nearby states, along with his previous victory in Cangyun City.

On this day, Li Dao slowly awoke from his reverie and gained some understanding of the mysterious and profound concept of killing without killing.

As his consciousness returned, the golden lotus light between his brows gradually dimmed, and he touched his brow.

"If it weren't for the golden lotus protecting and keeping my mind clear, I might have fallen into murderous thoughts and been unable to extricate myself."

Only now do I realize that this Killing Technique is indeed perfect for me, as it combines the killing intent accumulated in my heart with the protection of the Golden Lotus.

He shook his head, slowly walked out of the cultivation room, and arrived at the entrance of the dojo.

Two figures were already waiting there.

"Brother Li, is this the Extreme Killing Dojo? It is truly magnificent and extraordinary."

The two people who arrived were Qi Mu and Jin Yan.

Jin Yan looked at the vast Taoist temple where Li Dao was the only person, her beautiful eyes blinking as a thousand thoughts raced through her mind.

After welcoming the two into the temple, Li Dao took the opportunity to inquire about their recent situation.

"Junior Sister Jin has already entered the academy. As for me, I am also working hard in my cultivation. I can't fall too far behind Brother Li."

The three of them sat down in a small pavilion, and with a wave of their hands, fine wines and delicacies filled the jade table.

After chatting for a while, Jin Yan explained the purpose of their visit to Li Dao.

"Brother Li, I wish to follow you."

Li Dao looked at Jin Yan with some surprise.

Upon seeing Li Dao's gaze, Jin Yan blushed instantly and quickly waved her hand, saying:

"I did not mean that."

"There are many talented people outside who want to follow you, but none of them know where you are."

Li Dao understood what he meant; those famous prodigies naturally had no shortage of followers.

He had thought about this before, but he didn't expect that Jin Yan would be the first to make the request.

However, after thinking for a moment, he agreed. After all, such a large dojo needed someone to manage it, and it was indeed inconvenient for him to do it alone.

Seeing Li Dao nod, Jin Yan finally felt relieved.

After witnessing Li Dao's talent, she made up her mind that as the first person to follow Li Dao, she would not be forgotten even if she could not keep up with him in the future.

Seeing that Jin Yan had already joined in, Qi Mu felt a little envious and even considered following suit, but his pride prevented him from speaking up.

Seeing Li Dao turn his gaze towards him, Qi Mu revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Senior Sister Fengwu invites you to a battle on the Xuanqing Platform."

Li Dao wasn't surprised by this. He and Qi Mu were both at Tianxian Academy, so it was understandable that Feng Wu and the others would approach Qi Mu.

He was also somewhat interested in the geniuses on the Heavenly Ranking, but unexpectedly, Feng Wu was the first one to come looking for him.

"But it's good, defeating Feng Wu will allow me to directly secure the top spot on the Heavenly Ranking, saving me a lot of unnecessary trouble."

Li Dao agreed to the matter.

This event swept through the entire academy like a tornado.
