The sky was clear and cloudless that morning, and the breeze was gentle. Jiangzhou is spring-like all year round, and even though it is summer now, the temperature is still not high.

And because it is not on the coast, there is no humid sea breeze that turns the city into a sauna.

It is said that the summers in Southeast Asia can be so hot that people can die. Chen Shi had never been there, but upon hearing this, he was glad that he was born in Jiangzhou.

It's 9:30 in the morning. Chen Shi is sitting in the players' lounge waiting for the competition to start. His thoughts are wandering. He's thinking about the future. A couple of days ago, his master relayed his grandfather's suggestion: after this competition, they should move directly to Beizhou.

There will be no more competitions in Jiangzhou. Neither other challenge matches nor the Gathering of Heroes will be held here. It doesn't matter where you stay, so you might as well go back to Beizhou sooner.

But Chen Shi still wanted to stay in Jiangzhou for another year and go there after he went to university.

Chen Shi thought of a principle that many people often say: many husbands claim that they don't love their wives at all, but that's actually an illusion, because they've become accustomed to this kind of life, which is very bland and boring, and they feel that there's no love left.

But when the husband and wife actually divorce and separate, the lonely days go by one by one, and the husband who loses his wife will become more and more painful until he feels like he is dying. Only then does he realize that he cannot live without her.

Most people lack self-awareness. Just like Chen Shi in the past, he didn't feel that he couldn't leave this city. He was a free spirit without parents since he was a child. Doesn't it matter where he lives?

He thought he would be a person without homesickness, and he didn't understand why people would start to miss their hometown as they get older. Only now is he gradually understanding that every ray of sunshine in his childhood, the laughter of people coming and going on the street, and the breakfast shop owner who has been there for him for ten years, were all so wonderful.

He grew up here and has been practicing martial arts for more than five years. He has now achieved some success and gained some fame. The number of spectators at this competition is astonishing, and most of them came specifically for him.

Chen Shi was thinking.

Is the farmer whose fruit I stole when I was a child still watching? And what about that elementary school physical education teacher who was once convinced he was a martial arts genius? Is he cheering me on from home in Linshan City?

Where is Wang Hu now? Did he really fail to get into the martial arts university?

Has Huang Liangjun, that simpleton, become any smarter now?

Did his brother Huang Liangsheng really break up with Xiahou Yun? Judging by his age, he should have graduated and joined the army by now.

Back then, we celebrated the New Year together on the riverbank in Linshan City, waving to the future under the brilliant fireworks. Those joyful laughter still lingers in my ears, and these memories gradually bring a smile to the young man's face.

His childhood was perfect, and his hometown was extremely beautiful.

He will not let anyone down.

The battle bells have rung!

Chen Shi walked alone toward the players' tunnel!

Perhaps the only regret today is that Xuexin is not here; she is in Nanzhou preparing for her finals.

In the highly anticipated Huangsha Arena, a tall young man emerged from the dark tunnel, and the crowd under the bright sun erupted in exhilarating cheers, their faces beaming with excitement.

Suddenly a woman screamed, straining to drown out the noise and deliver her cry to the boy's ear.

She was cheering Chen Shi on.

The boy turned around and waved to the other person, a face he had never seen before. The other person was excited and screaming with excitement at his appearance.

People like this are not isolated cases!

Bathed in boundless encouragement, Chen Shi suddenly understood the topic of the day.

Graduation exam.

This is Chen Shi's last dance in Jiangzhou. Every audience member is his examiner. Only by taking this step can he truly become a future hero rooted in the hearts of every Jiangzhou person!

come on!

Chen Shi has made the final preparations!

He knew perfectly well that he was the challenger this time!

Long Shirui slowly walked out of the contestant passage. He was the only bald genius Chen Shi had seen so far.

He had no hair and wore the most ordinary combat uniform, making him seem very ordinary compared to the other members of the Long family. However, this actually put pressure on Chen Shi, because he knew very well that ruthless people don't talk.

The more someone talks, the less capable they are.

Moreover, Chen Shi had personally witnessed Long Shirui's actions at the gathering of heroes.

suddenly.

Chen Shi frowned because he felt that Long Shirui's features were inexplicably familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before, but he just couldn't remember where.

During the brief preparation time, Chen Shi concentrated on thinking, when suddenly something came to mind.

Because the person who resembled him had a very different personality from him; not only was he not bald, but he was also a long-haired swordsman.

Chen Shi asked curiously, "What's your relationship with Long Shixuan?"

Long Shirui remained expressionless and did not answer, only staring intently at Chen Shi.

Chen Shi's eyes darkened slightly, because he saw a deep-seated killing intent hidden in the other person's eyes!

At this time.

The cheers of the crowd reached their climax, deafening and rising in waves, as if even the clouds in the sky were being stirred.

As the match was about to begin, the isolation barrier slowly rose, and people gave Chen Shi their final shouts.

Chen Shi also looked up at his supporters, clenched his right fist, pounded his chest, pointed to the sky, and said, "Victory is certain!"

These words reached the battlefield before the isolation barrier was completely sealed, echoing in people's ears. They were excited and expectant, and some even stood up.

On the battlefield, the referee also focused his attention and began the countdown!

"Both players, take your positions!"

"Countdown begins!"

"5!"

"4!"

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

A gunshot rang out from the sky!

Chen Shi focused his attention on his opponent and instantly activated Boiling Blood and Eternal Blood Flow!

Without hesitation, Long Shirui activated the Harmony of Heaven and Man, and a gray, glazed diamond armor immediately covered his entire body!

Then Chen Shi took the lead in charging forward, transforming into a red lightning bolt and crashing into the opponent!

"call out!"

A red light shot out, flashing across the yellow sand in the blink of an eye. The black staff condensed into a long blade, which was fiercely slashed out by the boy!

Long Shirui's expression was hidden beneath the glass armor, making it difficult to see clearly. At this moment, he simply raised his right arm indifferently.

The gray glass blocked Chen Shi's way. Without hesitation, he changed his move, twisting his body into a strange shape in mid-air. He used the resilience of the immortal threads in his body to twist himself into a pretzel and then flung himself to the side. At the same time, he slashed at Long Shirui's abdomen with his sword!

"Bang!"

A crisp sound rang out on the battlefield, and the audience outside fell silent in an instant, because Chen Shi's attack not only failed to injure Long Shirui, but also sent him flying.

The boy planted his right foot into the ground to stop his backward movement and regain his balance. When he looked up, the glass Vajra helmet spun around and stared straight at him. Then, gray rays of destruction burst forth from its eyes!
