The Martial Arts Tower.
A simple, unassuming, dark gray ancient tower, thirty meters high.
Yet, in everyone's eyes, it was the best treasure for honing one's martial will!
In fact, the Beiming Martial Arts University even had a special ranking list recording the students' martial will rankings.
Talents like Liu Fufeng and Mu Bing relied on the Martial Arts Tower to grasp the essence of their martial will at a very young age.
This was why they were able to comprehend their martial will very early.
The tower doors swung open, and a figure flew out, landing heavily on the ground.
Beiming Yan rubbed her backside, gasping for breath.
"The Great Ancestor shows no mercy! I'm your descendant, did you really have to kick me out?" Beiming Yan muttered angrily.
"Hehe, Sister Yan, the figures in the Martial Arts Tower are just illusions. They show no mercy, only willpower. They'd kick even their own father, let alone you!"
"Did you pass the second level this time? Or did you get kicked out on the first level again?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? When did our Sister Yan pass the first level? You're just teasing her by asking if she passed the second level, aren't you?"
A group of Beiming Martial Arts students gossiped on the side.
Beiming Yan coldly swept her eyes over the crowd.
"What are you yapping about! I'll pass the first level next time. It's just that I'm not in good shape today, otherwise this would have been the day I reached the second level!"
Beiming Yan said this without batting an eye, as if she hadn't just been kicked out.
She may not have many other virtues, but her greatest strength was her thick skin.
Anyway, it wasn't the first time she'd been kicked out. The only reason was that comprehending the martial arts will was too difficult.
Beiming Yan scratched her head in frustration, her face full of worry.
"Why is Sword Intent so hard to comprehend? Among my classmates, Liu Fufeng comprehended Battle Intent, Qingxue and Bingbing comprehended Sword Intent; only Xuan Tianwen and I, two unfortunate souls, couldn't comprehend it at all. Am I really not a genius?"
A bald man carrying a large sword walked over, grinning broadly.
"Sister Yan, forget swordsmanship, learn sabers with me. My Saber Intent has already reached the fourth level, and it is more than enough to teach you."
Beiming Yan shot him a disdainful look. "Chu Zhongtian, you dare to teach me with your mediocre skills? I'd rather go find my brother to learn swordsmanship."
Chu Zhongtian scratched his head. "Instructor Feng is only at school a few days a week. Sister Yan, you won't be able to find him."
Beiming Feng had already comprehended Sword Intent to the domain level, a higher realm of martial will.
If he were willing to spend time teaching Beiming Yan, perhaps she could grasp it faster.
However, as one of the top combatants at Beiming Martial Arts University, Beiming Feng had too many things to handle and rarely spent time on campus.
"Get lost, you bald guy, stay away from me!" Beiming Yan pouted.
Seeing Ling Qingxue walking towards them, her eyes lit up.
Here comes a swordswoman, right?!
She immediately moved closer. "Qingxue, are you here to challenge the tower and hone your martial will?"
Ling Qingxue nodded slightly. "Yes, is anyone challenging the tower now?"
"No, no, you've come at just the right time!"
Chu Zhongtian looked dejected. "Sister Yan, I'm here to challenge the tower too…"
"You're here for a stroll!" Beiming Yan narrowed her eyes.
Ling Qingxue's lips twitched. "Actually, I could wait a while and take a walk around."
Beiming Yan directly pushed her towards the Martial Arts Tower.
"Ignore this bald guy, he just likes to wander around aimlessly. You're a newbie, newbies have priority!"
Ling Qingxue put Wu Liang down from her shoulder.
"Then please keep an eye on my magical beast for me. Don't let him run around."
"No problem!"
The door closed, leaving Wu Liang outside.
"Damn, this thing can only let one person in at a time, so stupid!"
The Martial Arts Tower required a strict analysis of the martial will of those entering, and only one person could enter at a time, making it almost the most frequently used facility at Beiming Martial Arts University.
Wu Liang simply lay down on the ground and took a nap, since no one at Beiming Martial Arts University dared to harm him anyway.
Several people gathered around, scrutinizing him with curious eyes.
"Is this the Taotie? Why does it look so cute? It looks just like my little black dog, except its mouth is bigger!"
"Taoties love to eat, and a big mouth means they eat fast! Don't you have any common sense?!"
"Hey, everyone says Taotie devours everything, but does it eat poop?"
Wu Liang: ???
Excuse me, don't you have any manners?
Why are you asking someone if they eat poop right off the bat!
Beiming Yan frowned, her gaze coldly fixed on them.
"Get lost, all of you! Don't you need to train or something, huh? Be careful, or I'll have my second uncle give you some extra quotas!"
The group immediately cried out in despair.
"Sister Yan, please spare us! We'll get lost right now!"
Beiming Yan caught a glimpse of Chu Zhongtian, still carrying a large sword, standing nearby.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
"Uh, I'm going to challenge the tower too..."
Chu Zhongtian put his sword down, his gaze fixed on the Martial Arts Tower.
He had heard of Ling Qingxue; after all, she frequently trended on social media, so it was hard not to know her.
"Sister Ling's Sword Intent is restrained. Although stronger than a beginner's, passing the second level will still be a bit difficult. She should come out soon."
"Hmph, you practice saber, and you can also use a sword?" Beiming Yan scoffed.
"Swords and sabers are essentially the same; they are both extensions of the body, just expressed differently. Almost all weapon-based wills are like this," Beiming Feng's voice was heard.
"Oh, Instructor Feng, you're such a busy person, yet you still have time to come see your sister?"
"I didn't come to see you..."
Beiming Yan's heart shattered instantly; she had been presumptuous.
Seeing the atmosphere turning sour, Chu Zhongtian quickly made up an excuse and slipped away.
This kind of emotional battlefield was not a place to linger.
Beiming Feng initially went to Ling Qingxue's villa to deliver the Kunpeng's remains, but seeing that she wasn't there, he followed the Taotie's aura and came here.
"So diligent, no wonder she was able to comprehend Sword Intent so early."
Beiming Yan grumbled. "So, brother, are you blaming me for not being diligent enough, which is why I can't comprehend Sword Intent? If that's really what you think, just say it directly. Why hint at it in your words?!"
Beiming Feng raised a finger and lightly tapped her forehead.
"Ouch! Brother Feng, you won't teach me Sword Intent, and you even hit me! Is this how a brother should act?" Beiming Yan said aggrievedly.
Beiming Feng smiled helplessly. "It's not that I don't want to teach you, but the martial will you develop through your own understanding is much stronger. As the saying goes, 'Master one method, master all methods.' Your talent certainly won't be limited to just Sword Intent!
If you can master Sword Intent through your own efforts, then Spatial Will and Ice Will won't be that difficult."
"You said that before, but I've challenged the tower eight hundred times! Why can't I grasp it?" Beiming Yan asked, puzzled.
"You're too impatient. A sword is more than just a weapon. As I just said, a sword is an extension of the body. You only use sword techniques blindly, lacking soul, which is why you're stuck at a bottleneck. You need to find a reason to wield the sword."
