“Let’s go to Unbeatable Pavilion!”
Xie Lingfeng and Hu Shan set off for Unbeatable Pavilion.
In Prince Du’s mansion, Cui’er was packing, lamenting, “Miss, that scoundrel escaped. It’s outrageous. He could tarnish Young Master Xie’s reputation.”
“The martial arts community has been abuzz with rumors that Young Master Xie went to Unbeatable Pavilion and didn’t spend a single coin. It must be that scoundrel impersonating him, tarnishing Young Master Xie’s reputation.”
“How could Young Master Xie possibly have gone to Unbeatable Pavilion?”
“As a young and carefree lad, why couldn’t it be him? Moreover, isn’t it said that he went there to temper his mind?”
Du Yuying said with a smile.
“Hurry up and pack, we should return to Seven-Star Study Palace. Our teacher has probably found a solution to my problems.”
“Miss, does this mean you’ll be able to breakthrough to become a Grandmaster soon?”
Cui’er was overjoyed.
“I hope so.”
Du Yuying sighed in her heart, becoming a Grandmaster is not so easy.
Seven-Star Study Palace is the Holy Land of martial arts in the Inner Domain, enrolling martial arts students from all over and producing countless Grandmaster Martial Artists and even Great Grandmaster Martial Artists.
The founders of many forces and sects in the Inner Domain were once students of Seven-Star Study Palace. They gained their knowledge from studying in the palace, setting up sects.
Tianbao Pavilion, the largest commercial force in the Inner Domain, is deeply rooted and considered the most transcendent force in the Inner Domain, its influence only matched by the Seven-Star Study Palace.
Seven-Star Study Palace has long abstained from participating in the power struggles within the martial arts community. Its mission is to propagate and research martial arts, enrolling students without regards to their origin or background.
Regarding the prosperity of martial arts, the Seven-Star Study Palace is the most, and also the widest in studying martial arts.
The imperial families of the three major countries, including their founders, were once students of the Seven-Star Study Palace. The current emperors also studied there in their youth.
There are also poor young men who came here and entered the Seven-Star Study Palace, worked hard, and hence soared high, stepping into the Grandmaster Realm, and even the Great Grandmaster Realm.
Throughout the long years of the martial arts community in the Inner Domain, top forces have collapsed and been obliterated from history; some leading forces have fallen and their fame disappeared.
Only the Seven-Star Study Palace, regardless of the changing situation, remains standing, its legacy unbroken, always at the peak.
In history, there were martial arts cultivation techniques and secret techniques that have been lost in the outside world, but they could be found at the Seven- Star Study Palace.
If they can’t be found in the Seven-Star Study Palace, it means they have indeed been lost.
Throughout history, the Seven-Star Study Palace has faced threats, but none were able to shake it at all.
On the contrary, those who provoked the Seven-Star Study Palace faced suppression and destruction.
Sometime in the past, a dynasty that unified the Inner Domain, whose foundation bought many powerful forces to their knees, persuaded many sects to surrender.
They attempted to incorporate the Seven-Star Study Palace under their rule, making it a study palace under their jurisdiction.
The end result was the collapse of the dynasty!
It was that war which allowed the world to glimpse the terrifying depth of the Seven-Star Study Palace’s strength.
One Great Grandmaster after another stepped forward.
Long-lost exceptional cultivation techniques, unheard-of secret techniques… were all utilized by these Great Grandmasters. Using absolute superiority, they crushed the imperial forces.
They forced the dynasty to bow down, acknowledging the Seven-Star Study Palace’s superior status, not under the imperial jurisdiction.
This war weakened the dynasty, leading to its eventual disintegration into the current three major countries.
After this, people finally realized that the Seven-Star Study Palace has a group of scholars obsessed with martial arts. They research martial arts, pass down martial arts.
Regarding the strength of their martial arts, the power of their techniques, and the depth of their understanding of martial arts, no other force in the world could compare.
And these scholars of martial arts make up the real foundation of the Seven- Star Study Palace. Nobody knows the exact number of these martial arts scholars, and even a famous Great Grandmaster in the outside world could potentially be a member of the Seven-Star Study Palace scholars.
The current Palace Master of the Seven-Star Study Palace is reputed as the world’s top Great Grandmaster. His or her identity is almost a mystery, hardly known by anyone.
Only the very top Great Grandmasters might know their identity.
The three Deputy Palace Masters also bear distinguished reputations as Great Grandmaster Martial Artists.
In the Seven-Star Study Palace, the highest level one can reach are the Monitors, Senior Practitioners, and Practitioners. As for the rumored martial arts scholars, one can only encounter them by chance.
Moreover, there are usually Martial Art scholars present among both educators and academy supervisors.
The strength of the educators can range from Grandmasters to not less than a third-rank Martial Artist. They are responsible for teaching the basic cultivation techniques to beginners in martial arts.
Senior educators can range from Great Grandmasters to Grandmasters, and none of them are below the rank of a Grandmaster.
Senior educators are in charge of teaching students above the third rank, or those with exceptionally outstanding talents.
The academy supervisors are the backbone of the Seven-star Study Palace. They oversee the academy, maintain its rules, and punish educators who violate these rules.
Every supervisor is definitely a powerful Great Grandmaster.
Students who are privileged to have a supervisor as their teacher are all naturally gifted talents.
The Seven-Star City, surrounded by seven cities, is the outer city of the Seven-star Study Palace. Many martial artists come here to seek opportunities, make friends in the martial arts world, or even to hide from their enemies.
The Seven-star Study Palace is built on a mountain slope. Pavilions, towers, and buildings densely cover the area. A martial art practice stage is built every few distances for students to interact and exchange ideas.
It’s also the place where outsiders come to challenge and spar.
The Seven-star Study Palace has always welcomed challengers from outside to exchange and discuss martial arts. Many forces in the world send their proud talents here to challenge, spar, and gain recognition.
To browse the collection of the Seven-star Study Palace, challengers must pass a series of challenges and matches. Win a battle, get one floor’s browsing qualifications, and so on.
Since the founding of the Seven-star Study Palace, the strongest outsider challenger has passed seven challenges and entered the seventh floor of the collection.
Xu Yan left the Thousand Star Lake and scoured the island courtyard. He suddenly became rich with more than three hundred thousand spirit crystals and over twenty spiritual medicines.
With more money, he could afford to spend a bit.
On his way to the Seven-star Study Palace, Xu Yan deposited his spiritual medicine and other items in the Tianbao Pavilion.
After a long journey, he finally arrived at the Seven-star Study Palace. He came for the collections of the palace, to deeply understand the martial arts of the Inner Domain.
Take their essence and integrate it into his own way.
Blam!
On the first floor of the Seven-star Study Palace sparring stage, a figure was thrown out and fell onto the ground.
A student from the Seven-star Study Palace on the stage saluted, “Thankyou for yielding!”
The young man who fell on the ground got up, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, with a look of despair. He couldn’t even pass the first level.
“Another one failed.”
“The sparring stage at Seven-star Study Palace isn’t easy to get through, even the first level is like this.”
“Yes, it’s too hard. Even though I’m one of the top talents in my region, I can’t even get through the first level!”
The watching martial artists sighed and discussed.
The challengers who come to the sparring stage are not old, and they are all talented and arrogant in their places. Before the challenge, they are all full of fighting spirit and confidence.
However, most of them failed on the first floor.
“A challenger is here.”
“This person looks young, even a few years younger than me, I wonder if he can get through the first level.”
“I think it’s difficult. Given his age, he is at most at a third-rank level. His martial arts must be lacking. I’m afraid he won’t last ten moves in the first level!”
The young martial artists began to discuss as they watched Xu Yan climb towards the stage. None of them thought highly of Xu Yan.
On the first level of the sparring stage, a student from the Seven-star Study Palace stood proudly, awaiting Xu Yan’s arrival.
Xu Yan looked around and was surprised, “Why are there no Grandmaster Martial Artists? The strongest is only a first-rank Martial Artist.”
He had killed many Grandmasters and thought they were everywhere. But he found that there were no Grandmaster Martial Artists on the first level of the Seven-star Study Palace’s sparring stage.
It seems that Grandmasters are not really everywhere.”
Xu Yan sighed, having killed many, he thought Grandmasters were everywhere.
As it turns out, Grandmasters are also rare.
He didn’t bother to challenge the first level. Third-rank martial artists are weak. To put it bluntly, they could be killed with a single breath.
So he directly skipped the first level of the sparring stage and kept going up.
