The Grave of the Thousand Swords used to be a vast barren desert, when the Wu Kingdom was formed for about several tens of years, a great battle had once taken place in the desert.
The Wu Kingdom invited all the warriors to join forces to fight against the Xia Kingdom.
At that time the Wu Kingdom was still led by great-grandfather Zhi Xian and Wei Fang was still in his teens.
The Wu Kingdom brought its entire army numbering in the thousands, that was already included with the warriors.
The troops from the Xia Kingdom also brought an army that was not inferior to the Wu Kingdom army.
The second great battle of the Kingdom lasted until Five days and five nights, and thousands of casualties from both sides were inevitable.
No one won or lost the great battle because both lost many soldiers and other great warriors.
All of their fallen weapons were collected in memory of the tragedy and they planted them all over the desert.
After many years passed, thousands of swords began to be buried and eventually the place was dubbed as the Grave of the Thousand Swords.
Currently the place was no longer deserted, not far from the Thousand Sword Grave, there was a large Village called Moiyin Village, which was located in the village of Moiyin, and the village of Moiyin there is a free-flow college called the Western Desert College.
Tian Feng and Wei Fang and Zang Yang arrived at the Western Desert College during the day, there were already many warriors present and one of them was Bing Ling Ling from the Frozen Lake.
"Commander Wei, it's good to see you again in this match!" greet Bai Ling Ling with her old voice.
"I'm also happy to see you again!" replied Wei Fang.
"Commander Wei, I have always asked you to help me share a little of your secrets so that I too can be young! But you're still as stingy as you used to be!" bing Ling Ling said with a sour face.
"I didn't mean...!" Wei Fang wanted to answer but Bing Ling Ling actually cut off his words.
"No need to reason, just say that you want to live alone and will be the strongest Swordsman after we die!" bing Ling Ling said then her gaze shifted towards the masked young man who was behind Wei Fang with Zang Yang.
"Commander! Was this young man the one who had already killed the Serpent Goddess?" ask Bing Ling Ling.
"Owh yeah sorry I forgot to introduce you!" said Wei Fang then he called out to Zang Yang as well as Tian Feng.
"This is Tian, the son of Pesehat Yuan Xia! While this was his teacher Zang Yang!" said Wei Fang.
"I've heard of your prowess from Li Xiang Fai! My name is Bing Ling Ling the head of the Frozen Lake college!"
Bai Ling Ling introduced herself to Tian Feng. Bing Ling Ling was convinced that Tian Feng was the same age as Jin Xia Zan's great-grandson.
"I'm also honored to meet seniors!" replied Tian Feng.
Now Bing Ling Ling turned her head towards Zang Yang who was just silent, "Zang Yang! If you don't remember wrong, you are from the Golden Lion college, right? You're really very good at having such a talented student like him! If only his disciple could defeat the Serpent Goddess, let alone you as his teacher?" bing Ling Ling said.
"The goddess is too praising! it is true that I am his teacher, but the great power that Tian possesses is not because of me, so the praise that senior said is inappropriate for me!" answer Zang Yang.
"Emm..! Ooh yes I remember, aren't you also the disciple of the Drunk God Mao Lao? Is that drunk Si Tia coming here?" ask Bing Ling Ling.
"Master Mao won't come, he doesn't like events like this!" replied Tian Feng.
"Right as well, he was the only Swordsman who had thoughts different from the others!" said Wei Fang.
They wouldn't have guessed that Mao Lao was dead. They also do not know if in fact the Five strongest Swordsmen are two dead, namely Mao Lao The Drunk God, and She Ying the Serpent Goddess.
"Grandfather..!"
Zang Yang was surprised when there was a voice of a girl calling out to him, and he felt familiar with the voice of the girl.
"Ling! Why are you here?" asked Zang Yang when the girl was in front of him.
Bing Ling, Wei Fang and Tian Feng also looked towards Lin Ling who was talking to her grandfather.
Tian Feng had met Lin Ling once, yet Lin Ling was three years old, and now he was already big, even his height was almost the same as his.
"Mom and I came here on purpose because they wanted to see the Chairman who was going to the match!" said Lin Ling.
Zang Yang frowned hearing that, "Chairman Gu will be following the match as well? Then where's your dad?"
"Dad's on a mission, so he's not coming!" replied Lin Ling.
Gu Yuao was the main chairman of Eagle Eyes College, he had quite high martial arts, plus Gu Yuao mastered swordsmanship.
"Dad! Why is Dad here?" Zian Wen came and asked Zang Yang.
"Dad here...!"
"Teacher's here because he's going to fight!" Tian Feng answered him.
"Commander! We'd better have a chat there!" bring Bing Ling Ling.
"You're so right Goddess, just let them chat today, and the match is still going on tomorrow," Java Wei Fang then they both went some distance away.
Wei Fang and Bai Ling Ling looked like Grandsons and Grannies, but they were actually about the same age.
"Who are you?" asked Lin Ling.
"Ling'er did you forget about him?" ask Zang Yang.
Let alone Lin Ling, even Zian Wen did not know, had Tian Feng not worn a mask, perhaps Zian Wen would have remembered him.
"I don't know!" replied Lin Ling briefly.
"Impossible! Have you never heard of the big name of a masked young man?" ask Zang Yang.
"Emmm.. I never seem to have heard!" replied Lin Ling.
"Wait a minute, lest he's Young Master Yuan Tian?" Zian Wen finally remembered her.
Although he had never heard the name of the masked young man, but there were only two disciples owned by Zang Yang.
"Aunt Wen! Long time no see," said Tian Feng.
"So you really are Young Master, weren't you...!?"
"Over the story, obviously now I'm fine!" tian Feng replied who understood what Zian Wen meant.
Lin Ling was still staring at Tian Feng in confusion, she had absolutely no memory of whether or not she had met Tian Feng.
"Ling'er, you may have forgotten, but you met Young Master when you were three years old! At that time you had time to play with him," said Zian Wen.
"really? But I don't remember!" replied Lin Ling.
"Did the teacher know if Chairman Chang was coming too?"
"really?" Zang Yang was shocked as Zian Wen said that Chang Shan the head of the Golden Lion Manager was also coming along.
"It looks like this match will be more new Swordsman who wants to have the strongest position, but I'm sure if the strongest position can be ascertained who it belongs to!" said Zang Yang while glancing towards Tian Feng.
"Why is the teacher glancing at me like that?" asked Tian Feng who pretended not to understand.
"No need to pretend! After all, not a single swordsman in the entire Kingdom can defeat you so easily!" said Zang Yang.
"Grandfather doesn't yet know the prowess of Chairman Gu Yuao, he will definitely be able to defeat anyone!" said Lin Ling.
"Will he be competing?" asked Zian Wen who was surprised when he found out that Tian Feng was also going to follow the match.
Zang Yang nodded while Lin Ling and Zian Wen still could not believe that any younger generation warriors would take part in the match.

The next day everyone who was in the Western Desert college had moved into the middle of the desert that had been prepared by the arena by the Western Desert College.
A middle-aged man was already standing in the middle of a fairly wide arena with an arena boundary line made of stone arrays.
"I am the fifth student from the Western Desert college, with respect to the seniors who will be attending this match, I on behalf of the entire Western Desert College would like to thank all the seniors.
We do not dare to make rules because the ones who will compete are the seniors who have higher abilities than us, therefore we just want the understanding and awareness of the seniors on how to make this match can go well and there is no riot!" said the middle-aged man who was actually named Huan Bao.
Wei Fang as the strongest swordsman of the Five Swordsman immediately jumped up and stood beside Huan Bao.
"My name is Wei Fang, I also have the same hope as this brother from the Western Desert, but it all depends on your awareness!" said Wei Fang.
Wei Fang was forced to make a sound because he felt that all the more senior warriors considered Huan Bao's deliveries and requests like the last breeze.
"Thank you senior!" huan Bao said then he again spoke loudly.
"With this match we will start, and please for anyone who will come please come in here and followed by the challenger," said Huan Bao then he invited Wei Fang to leave the arena.
From the first the match was not immediately started by one of the ten strongest warriors, but for new warriors first.
After Huan Bao and Wei Fang had come out, a forty-year-old woman immediately entered the arena.
"My name is Mu Xieyi from the Blue Orchid College! I am ready to fight anyone who will be willing to fight with me!" mu Xieyi said.
"Orchid Swordsman, please who will want to fight him!" huan Bao's voice sounded from outside the arena.
Not waiting for a long time a man in his sixty years also jumped into the arena.
"My name is Chang Shan from the Golden Lion. I'll challenge you, Madam Mu!" said Chang Shan.
Everyone watching some distance away from the arena immediately gave an encouraging shout to their respective champs.
Mu Xieyi immediately went on full alert because he knew who Chang Shan was, even though he was not from a big college, but lately the name of the Golden Lion College had become a topic of conversation.
Chang Shan immediately turned his fingers into lion claws, while Mu Xieyi also let out a long blue whip.
The two of them had a moment's glance before they finally both went forward to attack.
"The Golden Lion's Claw."
Chang Shan gave a powerful attack against Mu Xieyi where each of his claws was capable of releasing energy that could shatter rocks.
Mu Xieyi did not just stand by, with his blue whip, Mu Xieyi also gave a counterattack.
"The Whip of Orchids."
Chang Shan's claw attack had always been held back by Mu Xieyi's extremely powerful whip attack, had Chang Shan not protected his body with Chi, perhaps the hand was already injured by Mu Xieyi's whip which was able to make an explosion in the sand when the tip of the whip hit the surface.
"This match is like it will be very difficult to win by the Lion Swordsman!" said one of the warriors who observed Chang Shan's match against Mu Xieyi.
He felt Mu Xieyi's attack was extremely powerful and also had great destructive power, therefore Chang Shan who only used his bare hands would not be able to defeat Mu Xieyi.
Mu Xieyi who was able to make Chang Shan in a defensive position felt above the wind.
"The Sky Orchid Whip."
Mu Xieyi's whip let out a bright Blue-colored light and then he leaped up preparing to deliver his ultimate attack.
"The Golden Lion's Roar."
Groarrr..!"
Mu Xieyi's body was blown out of the arena as it was pushed away by the energy from his lion Auman that was releasing an enormous amount of energy.
The sand flew in various directions due to the Auman energy of the lion Chang Shan, after which the boundary array stone of the arena looked messy and not far from the boundary line, the, Mu Xieyi was already standing around looking at himself already outside.
"Haha.. That woman was actually very great, but she was very careless!" said Wei Fang.
Tian Feng had the same opinion as Wei Fang, if only Mu Xieyi had not jumped, perhaps he could have survived the push of the Lion Auman.
"Maybe Chang Shan was deliberately waiting for the opportunity!" said Zang Yang.
The first game ended very quickly, arguably very short of what was expected.
Everyone who supported Chang Shan cheered, whereas Mu Xieyi's supporters could only shake their heads in disappointment towards the careless Mu Xieyi.
"The first match has been won by the Golden Lion College, and the Golden Lion Swordsman has officially become a participant that can be challenged by anyone who wants to compete with him!" said Huan Bao.
"Chairman Chang, please step out of the arena and remain the next challenger who wants to compete with the chairman!" said Huan Bao.
Chang Shan immediately came out and then Huan Bao allowed for the next participant to enter the arena.
"Tian, you go in first and fight for you to be on the list!" said Wei Fang.
"It's better teacher Zang first!" said Tian Feng.
"Just you..!" Wei Fang pushed Tian Feng so that his feet unintentionally entered the arena.
"Well this is the next participant in the masked swordsman, who will fight him please come in!" said Huan Bao.
Not too long later a middle-aged man jumped in and looked at Tian Feng whose face looked objectionable and looked at Wei Fang with an annoyed look.
"My name is Zuan Dong, from East Mountain, what is your name? I don't want to beat someone I don't know his name yet and where he came from!" zuan Dong said.
