As the new academy director, Wang Jiu was very generous to his researchers. Those who applied to try out the Sword Dao were all welcomed without exception. He personally led them into the Illusory Arena, guiding them hand-in-hand to wield fierce sword techniques and experience the joy of Sword Dao.

For various reasons, they had been forced to bury their hatred for many years.
