Legend has it that Xia Youchen was born into a common family. Because of his outstanding talent, he was noticed by a mentor at Chenxing Academy and was accepted as his disciple.

At that time, Chenxing College was not as good as the four major colleges, but its strength was not much worse. It was even nicknamed the Fifth College of Anyun Country, and most of the students it enrolled were children of common people.

Xia Youchen was gifted and diligent in his practice. He soon came to prominence and fell in love with his mentor's only daughter, becoming a legend in Chenxing Academy.

In the competition among the major academies of Anyun Country, Xia Youchen triumphed throughout the competition, reaching the finals and becoming a role model for all the commoner-born swordsmen. With his current prowess, he could easily have defeated his opponents and won the championship. Not only would his name be immortalized in history, but the status of Chenxing Academy would have soared to new heights. Either it would replace one of the original four academies and become one of the new four, or the so-called five major academies would truly become the five major academies.

However, no one could have imagined that, just before the finals, his mentor would actually betroth his daughter to someone else. Xia Youchen, deeply dissatisfied, ran to confront his mentor, and a fight ensued. Xia Youchen severely injured his mentor. Fortunately, several other mentors arrived and rescued his master, allowing Xia Youchen to escape.

Afterwards, Chenxing Academy launched a manhunt for Xia Youchen. Xia Youchen fled everywhere and wandered around the world, but his whereabouts were finally discovered several years later.

But no one expected that at this time, Xia Youchen had not only been promoted to a sword saint, but also learned the method of taming beasts and could control strange beasts to fight together.

In that battle, Chenxing Academy dispatched nearly a hundred masters, including the academy instructors and dozens of elite masters among the students. However, after a hard fight, more than 30 people died, more than 30 people were seriously injured, and the others were also injured. Although Xia Youchen was also seriously injured, he still managed to escape the pursuit.

After this battle, Chenxing Academy was severely damaged and did not dare to send people to hunt down Xia Youchen easily. They thought the matter would just end like this, but they did not expect that a few years later, Xia Youchen, who had recovered from his injuries, would come to kill them alone and kill all the masters who had hunted him in the past.

Chenxing Academy is located in the capital. After receiving the news, many noble families sent people to the academy to help, and even the imperial palace sent several masters. However, in the end, Xia Youchen, who was seriously injured again, broke out of the siege, and many of the masters they sent were also injured.

Since then, the strength of Chenxing Academy has plummeted. Not to mention being one of the five major academies, it has directly become a second-rate academy and has even been gradually forgotten.

Xia Youchen's fame was immense, and even a thousand years later, legends about him endured. However, after that serious injury, he vanished, never to be seen again.

Everyone thought that he was seriously injured and died and was buried in some unknown wilderness. Who would have thought that he turned into a skeleton and hid in the Valley of Strange Beasts.

"It turns out...it's Senior Xia. I'm sorry for being rude to you earlier. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Qu Fengting suppressed the fear in his heart, almost bent his waist in half, saluted to Xia Youchen and said, then quickly left.

This fierce god killed everyone he met, even gods. He showed no mercy to his fellow teachers in the academy, and even killed masters from the aristocratic families of the capital and the royal family. He didn't dare to confront him. Qu Fengting had a beautiful idea, thinking that he could run away after he finished talking nonsense.
