According to the rules of Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, after the competitions of the five academies and when all the newly recruited nominal disciples had been familiar with each other, each of the East, South, West, North, and Middle academies would choose the most talented and qualified disciple among the four hundred disciples to be the head of the academy.

The head of the academy had to be responsible for managing the daily chores and the outdoors experience of all the disciples. He also had the power to allocate resources of the sects. His external responsibility was to coordinate with other academies, even other Sects. It was no exaggeration to say that his power was almost equal to that of a teacher-in-charge.

That was definitely a prominent position envied by everyone.

“After having known the position and power of the first position, are you also excited?” Li Lan looked at Ding Hao with a smile.

Ding Hao smiled, still shaking his head without hesitation.

“What? Don’t you really have no interest at all?” Li Lan was a little surprised.

“I’ve told you that some people want to be a prince, and some people are only willing to be a free man. I am the latter.” Ding Hao said with grim determination.

Li Lan shook his head and said, “You are in a sect and you have no command over yourself. You’ll understand it’s not easy to even be a free man. In this world, if you want to be truly free, you must have power.”

Ding Hao also shook his head and said, “In front of my sword, everything is free.”

Li Lan paused without refuting Ding Hao’s words and continued.

“The reason why our sect has painstakingly set up the entrance test, classifies the nominal disciples’ total list, divides the five academies, sets the competition between the five, sets the heads of the academies, and sets the heavy assessment, in addition to generating competition and inspiring the disciples’ enthusiasm, is to select from the young people the leaders who truly have commanding ability, leadership ability, strategic ability, strong force, and personal charisma. Only such a person can truly get the resources of the sect and get the best Cultivation Methods. Therefore, he will become a strong person who can lead Swordsmanship-seeking Sect, control its fate, and bring our sect to a greater height of development. A free man will eventually be abandoned by the sect.”

Ding Hao was stunned. He did not think of that.

After hearing Li Lan’ analysis, Ding Hao knew that he was right.

Swordsmanship-seeking Sect had done a lot in the cultivation of the new force.

Through countless assessments, like gold and sand, scour the real gold, distinguish the geniuses and mediocrities, and then make the best use of them. The true geniuses would master the destiny of the sect, and those mediocrities would have to follow the sect.

The law of the jungle!

That was the iron law of this continent!

“So, even if you don’t want to compete with others, but when you show value and edge, the sect will push you on the road to compete with others.” Li Lan concluded. “It is harder to be a free man than to be a leader. You have to have the ability to be free. Ding Hao, tell you the truth, you have been included in the key training of the nominal disciples by the sect, so you can’t be ‘free’. Well, that’s all. You conduct yourself well. In the competition with you, I will definitely not show mercy because we are in the same academy. You will regret it.”

After that, Li Lan took his two confidants and walked away quietly in the moonlight.

Ding Hao watched the three disappearing at the end of the bluestone slap.

Tonight, Li Lan was strange. He had said too many things that should not be said. He not only reminded Ding Hao but also revealed some useful information. Obviously, he had an extraordinary identity. Most people would not know so much.

Li Lan tonight was by no means the feminine teenager who was far-sighted.

“Though Li Lan was a bit strange, today’s Li Lan is much more lovely than the gloomy one.”

Ding Hao smiled and talked to himself.

Just at that moment, something suddenly happened.

A ghostly wind swayed past, and Ding Hao had no time to make other reactions. He felt that his body became lighter, and the rusted sword tied behind his back had been lost.

“Who is it?”

When he looked up, a shadow was jumping in the forest with great flexibility, and constantly waving the rusted sword with his hand.

Chase!

Get the rusted sword back!

Ding Hao did not think much, and subconsciously chased up at once.

…

“Ding Hao did not know how to appreciate favors. He actually refused the invitation of senior brother Li. A humble junk kid dreams of being senior brother Li’s enemy. Huff! He will regret it sooner or later.”

On the bluestone road under the moonlight, Zhang Tianlun was indignant.

“Yes, if he knows the true identity of senior brother Li, he will regret it and be eager to join us.” Ge Yin chimed in. He was also angry.

Li Lan walked in the middle and said nothing.

“Senior brother Li, why do you tell Ding Hao about the inside story of the first position of the academy? In this way, he will definitely buy popularity with double efforts and he can get ready early.” Zhang Tianlun could not help but raise the query that he had thought for a long time.

“Yeah, senior brother Li, you are too kind. You’ve provided great convenience by telling Ding Hao such valuable information.” Ge Yin was also in doubt.

Li Lan stopped and turned to look at the two.

Under Li Lan’s gaze, Zhang Tianlun and Ge Yin gradually lowered their heads and felt guilty. They did not know why they were wrong.

“Remember, a strong man has the pride of the strong, and so do an ambitious man. What I want to conquer is the entire Swordsmanship-seeking Sect.” Li Lan said one word at a time.

Under the moonlight, Li Lan’s eyes were bright.

At this moment, the eyes of this feminine boy with a pair of willow eyebrows were flashing with fanaticism and self-confidence. At the same time, a powerful and stalwart momentum that was not commensurate with his slightly weak body quietly filled in the air.

Zhang Tianlun and Ge Yin were greatly astounded.

Somehow, in the face of Li Lan, for the first time, they were shocked and had to raise their heads to look at him.

“I, Li Lan, must compete fairly with Ding Hao. If I can’t beat Ding Hao, such a weak man, how can I conquer the strong Swordsmanship-seeking Sect? How can I defeat the other eight sects and dominate Snow Province?”

Li Lan seemed to be answering the questions of his two confidants and talking to himself as well.

His voice, stirring in the woods under the moonlight, had not dispersed for a long time.

…

The wind was screaming beside his ears and the trees on both sides quickly reversed.

For the first time, Ding Hao knew that he was, relying on physical strength alone, able to run so fast. He ran five meters in one step, and he was able to run 60 meters in one second. That speed had exceeded that of most Human Rank, Lower Grade running skills.
