When I first entered high school, the system insisted that I was destined to be an emperor in my lat

"What?! You've broken through to the third rank?!"

Wang Ye's somewhat out-of-control, horrified exclamation instantly silenced the previously noisy martial arts association hall.

Many people looked over curiously.

When they saw the secretary-general personally greeting a young man, they were all surprised and suspicious.

"Wow! Who is that kid?! He actually managed to get Secretary-General Wang to personally greet him."

"I think I saw this kid a few days ago! I heard he came to take the second-grade martial artist assessment, but I don't know if he passed it."

"With Secretary-General Wang's attitude, it's definitely approved!"

"What?! A second-grade martial artist so young?!"

"Really?! I've been fighting monsters for ten years and only barely managed to break through to the second rank, and this kid is already a second-rank martial artist?!"

"I bet he's one of the prodigies who came back from the special training camp in the provincial capital!"

"I'm so envious! An eighteen-year-old at the second rank, he's guaranteed to become a fourth-rank grandmaster in the future!"

"That's right! There's a natural difference between fourth-rank and third-rank officials; both are powerful enough to protect a family's prosperity for decades!"

Just as everyone was watching Jiang Feng and discussing it amongst themselves.

In a corner of the crowd, a gaunt man dressed in a black robe, his face hidden in a hood, glanced at Jiang Feng a few more times.

"An eighteen-year-old second-rank martial artist?"

"It seems that even in a small place like Linchuan, a couple of big grasshoppers can occasionally pop out."

"Hehehe! This is interesting!"

The man in the black robe moved his lips and let out a hoarse murmur.

He then twisted his body and disappeared into the crowd.

At this moment, Wang Ye realized that he had overreacted.

He took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, but his eyes were still filled with astonishment as he looked at Jiang Feng, as if he were looking at a monster.

"Wei Lan, what did your brother say?"

"Why is the Secretary-General making such a fuss even more than me?"

Su Qianqian's beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of confusion. She tugged at Shen Weilan's sleeve and asked in a low voice with curiosity.

Shen Weilan was also somewhat puzzled.

She had no idea that her brother had broken through to a higher level again last night.

Just now.

Xiao Wanning, Xiao Xingye, Wang Teng, and others walked in.

As soon as Xiao Wan Ning stepped into the hall, her gentle, watery eyes swept across the room and she saw the figure that made her freeze in place.

"Jiang Feng! He really came to the Martial Arts Association?"

"So his injuries...are they healed now?"

"Brother Feng!!!"

Before Xiao Wan Ning could think any further, Xiao Xing Ye had already jumped up excitedly!

"I knew I wasn't mistaken! It really was you, Brother Feng!"

Jiang Feng turned his head and looked at Xiao Xingye, whose arm was still in a cast, with amusement.

"Hoshino, why aren't you resting in the hospital? What are you doing here?"

Xiao Xingye glanced disdainfully at Wang Teng and sneered, "Of course it's because some toad is trying to take advantage of my sister!"

"I don't feel comfortable letting my sister come alone!"

At this point, he leaned closer to Jiang Feng and chuckled foolishly, "But if I had known you were coming, brother-in-law, I would never have come to be a third wheel."

"Xiao Xingye, shut up!"

A beautiful blush rose on Xiao Wanning's face.

She walked over, feeling both embarrassed and angry, and tapped her younger brother on the head.

"what!"

"Sis, why did you hit me?"

Xiao Wan Ning ignored her younger brother and instead looked somewhat awkwardly at Jiang Feng, lowering her head and softly saying, "Jiang Feng, I'm sorry, Xing Ye was talking nonsense."

At this moment, Wang Teng and his three companions also came over.

However, Wang Teng's expression was extremely unpleasant.

Especially when he heard Xiao Xingye call that kid "brother-in-law".

Xiao Wan Ning's expression seemed more like an attempt to cover up her feelings, but she had already fallen in love!

Wang Teng's face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, and his eyes burned with the fury of jealousy!

"Damn it! I thought it was fake!"

"I never imagined that Xiao Wan Ning, that filthy bitch, would actually keep a lover in Linchuan City?!"

However, when he heard that Jiang Feng was only at the second rank, he showed a contemptuous expression.

"snort!"

"Turns out he was just a piece of trash who had just broken through to the second rank."

This kind of guy could probably be a local tyrant at school.

Does she really think she's someone important?!

Unfortunately, in this world, only strength is the truth!

He's a third-rank martial artist!

Although a large amount of potion was used during the breakthrough, the foundation became somewhat unstable.

But the third-grade realm is what it is!

In his eyes, a second-rank official was nothing more than a dog on the roadside!

His father said that he was destined to become an unparalleled emperor!

How dare a lowly ant of second rank compete with him for a woman?!

Mo Nianchu's eyes lit up as she looked at Jiang Feng with amusement.

"Tsk tsk, I have to say! This young man is quite handsome, no wonder he became Xiao Wan Ning's man."

"It's a pity that being handsome is of no use in this world of high martial arts."

For a heiress like her, who comes from a wealthy family, what young heartthrob can't she have her way with?

Handsome but lacking ability is worthless.

In this world, strength is power!

For most ordinary people, a second-rank martial artist might be strong enough.

But for those geniuses, it's far from enough!

Moreover, the joint examination for the three cities is just around the corner.

At that time, the most outstanding talents from all cities will make their appearance!

A mere second-rank is probably not even enough to meet the entry requirements!

It's not worth her paying too much attention to.

"Is this guy Xiao Wan Ning's boyfriend?"

Tie Qingshan stared at Jiang Feng, his brows furrowed.

In fact, he also had some feelings for Xiao Wan Ning, who was gentle and extremely beautiful.

That's why she took the initiative to speak up and defuse the situation when Xiao Wan Ning and Mo Nian Chu had a conflict.

But to his utter surprise, Xiao Wan Ning actually liked a young, muscular man!

Of the group, only Song Haoze, who appeared aloof and arrogant, stiffened slightly when he saw Jiang Feng.

"This...how is this possible?!"

As a sword cultivator with keen senses, Song Haoze's perception of aura far surpasses that of ordinary people.

In that instant, he felt a faint sense of pressure emanating from the boy!
