The Asura Hall Master shook his head.

"No matter how outstanding Purple Flame Yi Xiao is, he’s still young in the end."

"The more those three idiots push him, the more he resists."

The Wind Shattering Palace Master smiled, "Fortunately, we anticipated this in advance."

"Indeed," the Asura Hall Master chuckled, "The Main Hall Token can only be received by the next successor of the Main Hall."

"While that boy was unaware of the hall rules, we directly gave him the token."

"In the future, he will take over directly. That boy won’t be able to refuse, avoiding a lot of trouble."

"But," the Asura Hall Master smiled, "Those three old fools, though foolish, wouldn’t let go of such an outstanding monster like Purple Flame Yi Xiao."

"That’s right," the Wind Shattering Palace Master nodded, "In terms of excellence, Purple Flame Yi Xiao is not inferior to the boy Xiao Yi."

"These two are equally matched; the name of Twin Martial Souls truly lives up to its reputation."

"Even we are extremely satisfied with the boy Xiao Yi. Those three old fellows certainly won’t want to let go of the monster Purple Flame Yi Xiao."

The Asura Hall Master grinned with a meaningful smile, "Whether Purple Flame Yi Xiao would nod and accept the succession depends on how those three old fellows choose."

"This time, there’s an opportunity."

"Hmm," the Wind Shattering Palace Master nodded.

"What opportunity?" On the side, Chengfeng Hall Master was confused upon hearing.

The two Main Hall Masters smiled but remained silent.

...

Elsewhere.

After flying at full speed for several days, Xiao Yi had arrived at the Heavenly Hidden Territory.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he would reach the Heavenly Hidden Academy.

During these days, he was unaware of the matters in either the Demon Hunting Territory or the Wind Shattering Territory.

Nor did he know about the conversations of the various Main Hall Masters.

If he knew, he’d probably be amused.

The matters concerning the three Main Hall Masters of the Demon Hunting Hall don’t need mentioning.

However, the speculations of the Asura and Wind Shattering Hall Masters were clearly wrong.

Sometimes, once people have a suspicion, that suspicion tends to grow uncontrollably.

Even leading to the point of finding their own reasons.

Back then, in the Eastern Domain, many suspected that Xiao Yi and Yi Xiao were the same person.

But, because of a single "Fire Control Beast," those suspicions were completely dispelled.

But, due to this, Xiao Yi and Yi Xiao, these two equally famous, similar-aged, similar-figured Heavenly Talents under numerous coincidences, earned the title "Twin Martial Souls."

Yet here in the Central Region, the two Hall Masters are evidently more experienced and even more insightful.

A mere "Fire Control Beast Martial Soul" couldn’t dispel their suspicions.

But, who would have thought, those "Beast Hands, Beast Feet" ended up helping Xiao Yi, causing the two Hall Masters to dismiss their speculation entirely.

But it makes sense.

Back then, during the confrontation with Poison Robe, in such a face-to-face clash, Poison Robe mistakenly identified those Beast Hands, Beast Feet as his Martial Soul materialization.

Naturally, the two Hall Masters also misidentified them from the intelligence alone.

Of course, it’s impressive that the two Hall Masters even managed to guess the Twin Martial Souls.

They even speculated that one Martial Soul was a Fire Control Beast Martial Soul and the other a Sword-type Soul.

However, they ultimately guessed wrong in one aspect.

That Sword-type Soul is not a Fire Attribute.

His Ice Phoenix Sword is actually an Ice Attribute Sword-type Soul.

Ever since Xiao Yi maneuvered between his true identity and Yi Xiao’s identity, he always ensured that whenever the two identities appeared at different times, everything was meticulously thought out, leaving no trace.

Thus, even if someone guessed, they would find countless doubts within the speculations.

And among these countless doubts, if one guessed wrong in one aspect, it would lead to continuous missteps.

Even the reasons the speculators provide themselves would inexplicably appear reasonable.

Of course, Xiao Yi currently knows nothing about all this.

Another thing he doesn’t know is that since these conversations of the five Hall Masters, the name Twin Martial Souls, once renowned only in the Eastern Domain...

Won’t take long to also become a household name in the Central Region, shocking it.

...

A few minutes later.

Inside the Heavenly Hidden Academy.

"Ha!" Suddenly, a loud shout.

A figure suddenly soared into the sky.

"Oh?" Within the academy, the wandering disciples all looked up at the sky.

"That’s the senior brother Wang Yue from Heavenly Sword Peak."

"Tsk tsk, how many days has it been and he’s broken through again. Truly worthy of being one of the Direct Disciples of the Twelve Peaks."

"If I remember correctly, senior brother Wang Yue has already reached the Fourth Layer of Saint Emperor Realm."

At this moment, an elder suddenly walked by, reproaching, "Why are you all gawking? Quickly go cultivate!"

"Yes, Deacon Youu." The surrounding disciples respectfully bowed and left.

"Hehe, not bad, not bad." Deacon Youu nodded in satisfaction, "In recent years, the academy’s disciples have become increasingly outstanding."

The entire Heavenly Hidden Academy appeared peaceful yet vibrant.

From afar, one can see the vast Heavenly Hidden Academy nestled among the mountains, enclosed in clouds and mist year-round.

In the mountains, there are mystical peaks and towering heights, with ridges carved as if by supernatural hands.

This place truly seemed like a Holy Land for cultivation outside the mundane world.

The Heavenly Hidden Academy, the First Academy of the Central Region.

Under its wing, it has tens of thousands of disciples, with Heavenly Talents emerging from the Twelve Peaks.

Every disciple walking out from here is capable of handling responsibilities on their own.

If they’re outstanding enough, even dominating a region is not out of reach.

And the Heavenly Talents and monsters emerging from the Twelve Peaks become renowned throughout the Central Region, admired and revered by people.

As for the elders and predecessors here, they are all widely respected and celebrated.

The Heavenly Hidden Academy, the Martial Arts Holy Land that young Heavenly Talents from the Central Region all dream of entering has been inheriting knowledge for countless years, standing tall in the Central Region for a million years.

No one dares to act recklessly here.

Indeed, no one dares.

No one knows just how profound, how terrifying the background of this First Academy is.

No one knows just how many revered Martial Arts Elders are hidden in the deep mountains of this academy.

And no one knows exactly how many revered figures that have dominated regions and shocked the Central Region have been nurtured here over countless years.

Moreover, how many forces have those powerful figures established.

Even the young Heavenly Talents cultivating here have powerful forces backing them.

Should anyone provoke this colossal entity, no one knows how many forces would be stirred, resulting in how many troubles.

A single stir could cause endless waves.

The Heavenly Hidden Academy shaking the entire Central Region is no exaggeration.

Yet, such a colossal entity... today, the tranquility was suddenly shattered by an earth-shattering explosion.

At the mountain gate, the towering gate of the academy revered by everyone, gilt-cast, transcendent and unassailable, was unexpectedly blown to pieces today.

A dispassionate figure, holding a trace of flame, slowly walked in.

"Who dares to act recklessly at my Heavenly Hidden Academy?"

Whoosh whoosh... Several academy disciples guarding the gate leaped out.

"Move aside, I’m here to get someone and leave immediately." The figure said indifferently.

Boom...

The next second, an astonishing Perception instantly enveloped the entire Heavenly Hidden Academy.

Even within the mountains, even atop the high peaks, within a radius of thousands of miles, over ten-thousand meters high, everything was enveloped in Perception in an instant.

"Hmm? What terrifying Perception?" On the high peaks of the academy, elderly figures meditating with closed eyes suddenly opened their eyes.

Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...

One after another, figures with overwhelming aura soared into the sky.

"Which esteemed guest has visited my Heavenly Hidden Academy?" Though the person was yet to arrive, powerful cries had already sounded.

"Demon Hunter, Yi Xiao." The indifferent figure only spoke a few words.

Searing waves of fire instantly swept across the surroundings.

...

Third update.

Today’s update concludes.
