As Yang Xiaotian approached Lin Yong and Chen Yuan, Chen Yuan excitedly embraced Yang Xiaotian, choking up with emotion, "My boy, thank you!"
How fortunate was the Divine Sword Academy to have such a student as Yang Xiaotian!
Yang Xiaotian, however, said, "Dean Chen, you're squeezing me too tight."
Everyone around them fell over in a heap.
Overcome with excitement, Chen Yuan hurriedly released Yang Xiaotian, scared he might have hurt him.
"Dean Lin, doesn't the academy have a rule that those who comprehend more than ten Stone Swords can meet the five Great Elders of the Sword Hall?" Yang Xiaotian asked Lin Yong.
Lin Yong was taken aback, then said with a smile, "Yes, we will take you to meet the five Elders right now." With that, he and Chen Yuan led Yang Xiaotian into the Inner Court.
The Divine Sword Academy's Outer and Inner Courts.
Only after passing numerous assessments could an Outer Court student become an Inner Court student.
