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

Next.

City Chief Lu Chenshan announced the suspension of the competition.

That evening, news of what happened at Zhenyuan Martial Arts School that day spread throughout the entire Linchuan City.

The Tie family kept their gates tightly shut.

Its various blacksmith shops and weapon shops have announced an indefinite closure!

Immediately afterwards, a large number of law enforcement officers from the Wushu Association moved directly into the Tie family's residence!

Even though the Tie family is a martial arts family and holds a respectable position in Linchuan City, they still dare not have the slightest thought of resistance under the iron fist of the authorities!

As for Tie Zheng, that guy actually didn't die!

After the match, he was taken to the hospital by ambulance and his life was saved.

However, what followed was definitely not a good day for him.

And Jiang Feng's name became famous throughout the city once again!

Of course, this only applies to the martial arts world.

Most ordinary citizens still don't even know who Jiang Feng is.

Unless Jiang Feng becomes the top scorer in this year's martial arts college entrance examination, it will not be known to tens of millions of people in the city.

The next morning.

Zhenyuan Martial Arts School.

Most of the students arrived earlier than in the previous days.

The trainees entered the venue in twos and threes.

But today, the atmosphere has subtly changed.

In the past, when students from private martial arts high schools looked at students from public martial arts high schools, their eyes always held a hint of condescension and disdain.

They have advantages in resources, teachers, and family background, and they look down on these students who come from public schools.

But now, when those gazes turned to Jiang Feng, they all changed.

Awe, apprehension, and an irrepressible curiosity!

On the podium, only Lu Chenshan remained today.

Long Yuan and Huo Yuejun did not return home that night.

Lu Chenshan stood up, his expression more serious than ever before.

"The matter of yesterday has been thoroughly investigated."

"Tie Zheng, he joined a cult years ago and has become a disgrace to humanity!"

"The deaths of several prodigies from the Tie family in recent years due to mysterious circumstances were all his doing!"

"Whoosh!"

The room erupted in uproar.

Unexpectedly, Tie Zheng not only joined the evil cult, but also massacred his own clansmen!

That's truly ruthless!

Those who belong to cults truly deserve to die!

"The martial arts association and the military have formed a joint investigation team, which acted overnight and arrested dozens of peripheral members of the cult!"

"so!"

Lu Chenshan paused, his gaze falling on Jiang Feng.

"Jiang Feng's actions yesterday were not at all against the rules."

"On the contrary, they should be praised!"

"Everyone has a contribution to eradicating cults!"

After a brief silence, a cacophony of voices erupted.

"Tie Zheng is actually a member of a cult?"

"He even killed the pride of his own family?! You beast!"

"A while ago, a cult released monsters in the city center, killing dozens of people... My cousin died in that incident!"

"Cults should be eradicated by everyone!"

The crowd was outraged, and curses poured in.

That massacre that wiped out an entire street remains an unhealed scar on the hearts of the people of Linchuan.

However, they didn't know that.

The one who killed that monster and saved everyone in the mall was Jiang Feng!

Down in the audience, Ma Baoguo couldn't stop smiling, and his eyes were filled with satisfaction as he looked at Jiang Feng.

That crazy woman, Liu Yuyan, was taken away yesterday.

She actually dared to lay a hand on a student on stage!

Even if it was out of a desire to protect his disciple, it is still an unforgivable crime!

"alright."

Lu Chenshan raised his hand to suppress the sound.

"The game continues."

"But in the upcoming matches, remember that the main focus should be on friendly competition!"

"Today, the champion of this exchange meeting will be decided!"

at the same time!

[Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission!]

A system notification sound, audible only to Jiang Feng, rang in his mind.

[Mission Reward: Low-grade Saint-level Martial Skill - Five-Finger Fist Heart Sword!]

Jiang Feng was overjoyed.

After yesterday's competition ended, the task settlement was delayed, and he wondered what went wrong.

It turns out, what was lacking was the official characterization.

At this moment, a martial arts manual emitting a faint golden light is floating in the system's inventory.

Low-grade Saint Rank!

The river breeze was slightly warm.

Although he possessed the Emperor-level fist technique "Emperor Fist," the aftereffects of that punch were too great.

With a single punch, the internal energy within his body was instantly drained.

Once you lose, you'll be at the mercy of others.

Therefore, the Emperor Fist can only be used as a last resort for self-defense, not as a regular means of attack.

And this is the "Five Fingers Fist Heart Sword".

With the palm as a sheath and the fingers as the blade, five sword energies are hidden in the palm, which can be released and withdrawn at will, and are unpredictable!

It suits him perfectly right now!

"I hereby declare!"

"The quarterfinals advance to the semifinals—the competition begins!"

Secretary Kim announced loudly.

However, surprisingly...

Mo Nianchu and Tie Qingshan were absent from today's match.

They seemed to have vanished into thin air; neither Ma Baoguo nor the teachers at Wudao No. 1 Middle School could contact them.

At this moment, Jiang Feng squinted his eyes, seemingly lost in thought.

It seems that Tie Zheng's cult affiliation has been exposed.

The two dared not stay any longer and had no choice but to escape in the chaos.

Just then, the draw ended.

Jiang Feng's opponent in the semifinals was Tie Qingshan.

Secretary Jin waited on the stage for the full time it takes for an incense stick to burn, but the stage remained empty. He had no choice but to announce, "Tie Qingshan is absent; Jiang Feng wins!"

On stage, Jiang Feng showed no expression.

Winning without fighting saves us a lot of effort.

Next, Xiao Wanning faced off against Jin Muyang.

Three tricks.

After just three moves, Xiao Wan Ning decisively raised her hands: "I surrender!"

Peak Rank 3 versus Rank 4, Eight Stars.

The gap between the two is too large.

She had no regrets, as she was already quite satisfied with making it to the quarterfinals.

In the other two matches, Gu Yuanchao used his ghostly movements to wear down his opponents until they were completely drained of their internal energy.

Shen Weilan defeated her enemy with a single palm strike, winning cleanly and decisively.

So far!

The four finalists have been determined!

Jiang Feng, Jin Muyang, Gu Yuanchao, Shen Weilan!

The result immediately sparked a flurry of discussion among the audience.

"Both siblings made it to the semifinals! What kind of family is this?!"

"Shen Weilan is incredibly strong! How come I never noticed before?"

"In my opinion, the championship is between Jiang Feng and Jin Muyang! Jiang Feng's strength is no weaker than Jin Muyang's!"

"Don't forget Gu Yuanchao, his movements are as nimble as an eel, he might be a dark horse!"

……

"Next, the semi-final draw!"

Secretary Kim raised the lottery tube.

Four fortune sticks, paired up in twos.

The moment the lottery results were announced.

The entire venue fell silent for a moment, then erupted in a thunderous roar!

[Jiang Feng, Public Wugao High School VS Shen Weilan, Public Wugao High School]

[Gu Yuanchao, Private Martial Arts High School VS Jin Muyang, Private Martial Arts High School]

"Am I seeing things?! Siblings?!"

"This lot was absolutely amazing!"

"How can a brother hit his sister?!"

Gu Yuanchao's hand, which was about to throw potato chips into his mouth, froze in mid-air. He wailed, "Oh no! Why did it have to be Jin Muyang? I was hoping to spar with Jiang Feng."

Below the stage, Shen Weilan paused, then subconsciously looked at her brother.

Jiang Feng was also taken aback for a moment, then chuckled and rubbed his temples.

My own younger sister.

How can we fight this battle?

As Shen Weilan looked at the results of the draw, a bright fighting spirit flashed in her eyes.

"elder brother."

"I won't hold back."
