Reborn as the Candle Dragon, I became the strongest academy guardian beast.

Several martial artists also noticed the dark shadow that blotted out the sky.

They suddenly looked up and involuntarily took a half step back.

A ferocious beast?

Why are ferocious beasts appearing in the city?

The black market doctor's voice trembled as he shouted, his bravado masking his fear: "This alley is our territory! There's a fifth-level martial artist guarding it nearby! If you dare lay a hand on us, you won't escape either. If you know what's good for you, get out of here!"

Su Chen didn't even glance at him, slowly lowering his massive snake head. His gaze fell on Chu Yunfeng, and his voice was deep and authoritative: "Boy, do you want the power to control your own destiny?"

Chu Yunfeng was startled.

He looked into those golden vertical pupils that were so close to his face.

He could not sense the slightest malice in the giant snake's eyes.

Staying in the black market would only lead to his demise.

Since that's the case, we might as well take a gamble.

"I want to!" Chu Yunfeng said, his voice trembling slightly as he mustered his courage.

He didn't want to continue living such a life of constant fear.

He wanted to raise money for his sister's medical treatment.

He wanted to take control of his own destiny!

"Very good." Su Chen nodded calmly, took out a bottle of black potion from his system space, and tossed it to Chu Yunfeng.

"Drink it."

Chu Yunfeng caught the medicine, hesitated for less than a second, then uncorked the bottle, tilted his head back, and drank the liquid in one gulp.

If the black snake truly harbored ill intentions towards him, it could have simply swallowed him whole; there was no need for this trouble.

Chu Yunfeng decided to take a gamble!

The moment he drank the potion, a bone-chilling cold swept over Chu Yunfeng's entire body.

Black mist surged from Chu Yunfeng's body, enveloping him completely.

The ground beneath his feet could no longer bear the weight, and cracked like a spider web around him, with countless pebbles eerily suspended in mid-air.

At the same time, a black coffin appeared behind Chu Yunfeng. The coffin lid opened a crack, and a blood-red codex emerged from it. The cover was imprinted with ancient forbidden runes, exuding a chilling aura.

Chu Yunfeng

Age: 19

[Realm: None]

【Martial Soul One: Undying Black Coffin (SSS Rank)】

[Martial Soul II: Forbidden Codex (SSS Rank)]

[Qualification: Mythical]

One person possesses two SSS-level martial souls at the same time!

Excitement flickered in Su Chen's snake-like eyes.

Chu Yunfeng is neither the chosen one nor the future empress.

But he was certain that Chu Yunfeng's future martial arts achievements would be no less than those of Lin Fan and Xu Liyue!

Feeling the unfamiliar yet powerful force within his body, Chu Yunfeng's lips trembled slightly.

He actually possessed a second martial soul!

The black snake wasn't lying to him; he really was helping him!

The black market doctor's expression suddenly changed.

This kid, who was originally just an ordinary person, actually exuded an aura that made him feel uneasy.

Things are clearly slipping out of his control!

"What are you all standing there for! Get him down!"

Upon hearing the command, several martial artists simultaneously sprang into action, revealing their respective martial spirits, and rushed towards Chu Yunfeng from all directions.

Chu Yunfeng raised his head calmly.

The blood-red law book fell in front of him, its pages moving without wind, stopping on a particular page.

A destructive aura surged from the pages of the book, Chu Yunfeng's pupils turned deep purple, and he murmured, "Nine Heavens Thunder Curse."

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire sky suddenly darkened.

Thick, dark clouds rapidly gathered overhead, and a muffled, suffocating rumble of thunder echoed from within them, as if an ancient behemoth wielding thunder was slowly awakening.

The next second, countless thick, blue-white bolts of lightning, as thick as buckets, descended from the sky, carrying earth-shattering power and engulfing the entire alley and a radius of 100 meters around it.

Several martial artists stared wide-eyed in horror, unable to believe what they were seeing.

"This kid was just an ordinary person a moment ago, how could he suddenly possess such terrifying power!"

"We're stopping! We surrender!"

Several martial artists turned and ran, desperately trying to escape the area covered by the sea of ​​lightning, but no matter what they did, they could not escape.

"boom!"

The blinding lightning instantly engulfed the group.

After an unknown amount of time, the lightning finally began to dissipate.

A crack appeared in the thick, dark clouds, and a beam of sunlight poured down.

The entire alley has been reduced to a charred ruin, with wisps of blue-white electric arcs still remaining among the rubble.

The black market doctor and the martial artists had already been annihilated into ashes in the sea of ​​lightning, leaving no trace of their bodies.

Gazing at the scene before him, a hint of satisfaction flashed in Su Chen's golden vertical pupils.

Chu Yunfeng had never cultivated and was not even a first-level martial artist.

But the power he just unleashed was comparable to a full-force attack from a fourth-tier martial artist.

Even in terms of destructive power alone, most fourth-tier martial artists might not be able to achieve this level.

This is the SSS-rank [Forbidden Codex].

It would take an average person burning their entire life force to gain the power of ten times over!

"This is terrifying..."

Su Chen inexplicably thought of these four words.

Chu Yunfeng looked at his hands, his eyes filled with disbelief.

Was that devastating lightning spell really unleashed by myself?

Just who is this giant serpent?

"My name is Su Chen, and I am the guardian beast of Azure Dragon Academy."

As if reading his thoughts, Su Chen's calm voice came: "Boy, would you like to join the Azure Dragon Academy? If you join the Azure Dragon Academy, the academy can take care of your sister's medical expenses."

Chu Yunfeng's pupils dilated in shock.

Azure Dragon Academy!

Even though the strength of Azure Dragon Academy has been gradually weakening over the years.

Qinglong Academy is still one of the four major academies in Ningchuan City, a higher education institution that he never dared to dream of.

"How do you know about my sister?!" Chu Yunfeng's voice trembled.

Su Chen did not answer, but calmly looked at Chu Yunfeng: "You only need to answer whether you are willing or not."

"willing!"

Chu Yunfeng answered without hesitation.

Before he knew it, tears were streaming down his face.

Chu Yunfeng looked up at Su Chen, his voice hoarse but his tone unwavering: "I'm willing to join the Azure Dragon Academy!"
