Deep within the Nine Swords Academy.
An obelisk, whose tip seemed to be stained with blood, stood proudly on the horizon.
As Fang Xing drew closer, he realized the towering horror of the obelisk—it was at least ten thousand meters tall, resembling a massive mountain range.
Moreover, the closer he got to the pitch-black body of the obelisk, the more he could feel a growing, intense pressure.
Fang Xing glanced at Nangong Xue beside him and noticed that this Seventh Realm doctoral student kept up with him with ease, regardless of how much he accelerated.
"I wonder if Nangong Xue, are you a doctoral student who passed the exam from society... or are you a direct-track student?"
He didn't know why this woman was interested in him and tentatively asked.
"I was originally a graduate student at the Nine Swords Academy and was lucky enough to get into the doctoral program in my last year..."
Nangong Xue replied with a slight smile.
