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

The atmosphere in the training ground on the first floor of the martial arts school was somewhat somber.

More than twenty trainees gathered in twos and threes. Although their auras were much stronger than before the training, their faces all showed a sense of solemnity.

Just now.

Two figures stepped in side by side.

The boy had a handsome face and a calm expression.

The girl had a cool and aloof appearance, and an air of frost.

It was Jiang Feng and Shen Weilan.

"The river breeze is here!"

Someone shouted, and the previously oppressive atmosphere was instantly ignited.

Xiao Xingye, Xiao Wanning, Song Haoze, and the others all turned their heads in unison, their gazes focusing on Jiang Feng, and smiles immediately appeared on their tense faces.

"Phew! I thought Jiang Feng wasn't coming."

"I've heard that those young masters and ladies at the training camp next door are all incredibly arrogant. They even said we're not qualified to participate in the Three Cities League!"

"Hmph! Jiang Feng will teach them a lesson they won't forget later!"

Not far away, Ma Baoguo, dressed in a gray training uniform, was inspecting the area with his hands behind his back.

Upon seeing Jiang Feng, a satisfied smile flashed across his face.

"Good lad, you've finally arrived."

This is the promising talent he has the highest hopes for.

With Jiang Feng making a move at today's exchange meeting, that crazy woman Liu Yuyan probably won't dare to be too arrogant today.

Jiang Feng walked straight towards where Xiao Xingye and the others were.

"Brother Jiang Feng!"

"I've missed you so much these past few days!"

Xiao Xingye immediately came to greet him.

But then he noticed Gu Yuanchao, who had come with him.

"who is he?"

Xiao Xingye frowned and looked the guy up and down.

Gu Yuanchao crunched on potato chips, mumbling indistinctly, "My name is Gu Yuanchao, a student from the special training camp next door."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xingye's eyes widened, and he stared at him warily as if he were a thief.

"Hmph! You wouldn't happen to be a spy sent by the other side, would you?"

"You came to find out what's going on before the exchange meeting even started?"

"Brother Jiang Feng, don't pay any attention to him. Who knows what kind of bad things he's up to?"

Jiang Feng shook his head, somewhat amused.

His gaze swept over Xiao Xingye, sensing the surging blood and qi within the other's body. He raised an eyebrow slightly: "Your aura is solid, your blood and qi are surging, and your realm has broken through to the third rank, nine stars."

Having his tricks exposed, Xiao Xingye chuckled, scratched his head, and lowered his voice, saying, "I couldn't hide it from Brother Jiang Feng's eyes."

"My dad used his connections a couple of days ago and spent a lot of money to get two pills from the provincial capital. My sister and I each took one, and that's how we barely managed to get through this."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wan Ning, who was standing to the side, slightly raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Feng.

Today she was wearing a red martial arts uniform that accentuated her graceful and tall figure.

She always felt somewhat inferior when she met Jiang Feng before.

Fortunately, with the help of the elixir, she has now pushed her cultivation level to the peak of the third rank.

If she can take another Breakthrough Pill, she is confident that she can break through to the fourth-grade Grandmaster level.

"Once I reach the fourth rank, I'll be able to catch up with him again, right?"

Xiao Wanning thought to herself.

However, just as she was lost in thought, a clear, cold voice suddenly broke in.

"River Breeze".

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

Song Haoze, who had been silent all along, was staring at Jiang Feng.

"You...have broken through to the fourth rank?"

His tone carried a mixture of certainty and surprise.

Upon hearing this, the surroundings fell silent.

Jiang Feng turned his head and met Song Haoze's gaze.

He also sensed the transformative aura emanating from Song Haoze.

That was a refined and sharp fourth-grade true qi.

Jiang Feng was slightly taken aback, then a smile appeared on his lips: "You've also entered the fourth rank?"

A smile appeared on Song Haoze's face, a smile that belonged only to kindred spirits.

"I went home and secluded myself for a few days, and had some insights while practicing swordsmanship."

"Just then, my family sent me a Breakthrough Pill, and with the momentum of that sudden enlightenment, I broke through to the next level."

The conversation between the two was like a thunderclap to Xiao Wan Ning, Xiao Xing Ye, and the others!

Xiao Wan Ning was stunned, her usually cold eyes filled with shock.

Fourth rank?

Jiang Feng had already crossed that insurmountable chasm without a sound.

"Jiang...Brother Jiang Feng?!"

Xiao Xingye's eyes widened, his voice trembling with excitement and shock, "You've broken through to the fourth rank?! My God!"

"You're amazing!"

The other trainees around them gasped in astonishment, their eyes filled with shock, envy, and awe as they looked at Jiang Feng.

Most of the people present were also third-rank martial artists.

However, there seems to be an insurmountable chasm between the third and fourth ranks.

Once you cross that threshold, you'll become a fourth-grade Grandmaster!

If you can't overcome that, you'll just waste your whole life at the bottom!

"boom!"

Just as everyone was excited because Jiang Feng and Song Haoze broke through to the fourth rank.

A series of heavy, powerful footsteps suddenly echoed from the second-floor stands of the martial arts gym.

A dozen bodyguards dressed in black suits with stern faces quickly rushed into the stands and instantly took over the security.

The training ground, which had been somewhat noisy, fell completely silent under the oppressive, invisible aura of killing intent.

Immediately afterwards, several powerful figures, exuding an aura as deep as a bottomless abyss and as imposing as a mountain, slowly ascended the stands, surrounded by bodyguards.

Jiang Feng looked up and his gaze sharpened slightly.

The person walking at the very front was a familiar face.

It was the same old man he had met at the Martial Arts Association's library.

Although the old man's hair and beard were all white, his steps were as steady as a mountain, and the faint but powerful aura he exuded was clearly at the level of a fifth-grade Grandmaster!

"That's Long Yuan, the president of the Martial Arts Association!"

"I heard that his cultivation level has reached the fifth rank, nine stars."

"It's just that I've been stuck at this level for over a decade and haven't been able to break through."

Gu Yuanchao introduced the product while eating potato chips.

Jiang Feng was slightly startled.

The president of the martial arts association?!

That old man?!

No wonder I felt he was not simple back then.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye, the secretary-general of the Linchuan City Wushu Association, stood respectfully half a step behind the old man, not daring to even breathe loudly.

Next to enter was a middle-aged man with a neatly combed slicked-back hairstyle and wearing black-rimmed glasses.

He was wearing a dark black jacket and had a warm smile on his face, looking like an easygoing elder.

But Jiang Feng sensed a terrifying aura emanating from this refined middle-aged man that was no less powerful than that of the old man from the library!

"He is Lu Chenshan, the mayor of Linchuan City!"

Gu Yuanchao continued, "Moreover, he is also a fifth-grade Grandmaster, reaching the eighth star of the fifth grade!"

Beside Lu Chenshan, a secretary carrying a briefcase and wearing gold-rimmed glasses followed closely.

The last person to walk was an elderly man in a crisp military uniform.

He had a short, graying haircut, a square face, and an imposing presence.

The gleaming gold star on his shoulder signifies his rank of Major General.

His blood and qi surged, like a fierce tiger ready to devour anyone at any moment.

Jiang Feng and the others subconsciously looked at Gu Yuanchao.

"Heh heh! He's Major General Huo Yuejun, the garrison commander of Linchuan City!"

"Peak of the Fifth Rank!"

"I heard that his military merits were enough to exchange for a pill that could help him break through to the sixth rank, but he never did, apparently to cultivate strong warriors in the army."

Gu Yuanchao introduced with a smile.

Jiang Feng gave this guy a deep look.

What a know-it-all!

They know everything!

At the same time, as the three of them stood on the stands, the air in the entire martial arts gym seemed to become thick and sticky.

They are the pillars of Linchuan City!

It's the kind of entity that can make the whole city tremble with just a stomp of its foot!

Following closely behind, the principals of Wudao No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, and No. 3 Middle School, as well as the principals of the aristocratic schools, entered the venue one after another.

Today's exchange meeting at the special training camp is of a higher standard than ever before!

At this moment, Gao Ping, the principal of No. 3 Middle School, who had just taken his seat, quickly searched the crowd below and soon locked onto the figures of Jiang Feng and Shen Weilan.

"Good lads! Today, the reputation of No. 3 Middle School depends entirely on the two of you!"

He clenched his fists, secretly cheering for the two of them.
