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

Jiang Feng remained calm, hands in his pockets, ignoring the various stares around him, and strode towards the Martial Arts Association building.

Just as he was about to cross the square.

"Whoosh!"

A streak of azure true energy suddenly tore through the air, accompanied by a sharp whistling sound, and slammed into the floor tiles in front of Jiang Feng.

Amidst the flying debris, a figure stepped forward, blocking his path.

The newcomer was dressed in a dark blue martial arts uniform, about 1.7 meters tall, with a few pimples on his face, and blue true energy rising around him like flames.

He crossed his arms and looked Jiang Feng up and down, his eyes filled with arrogance and contempt.

Jiang Feng stopped in his tracks, not even lifting his eyelids: "What is it?"

"Kid, you're that number one person in Linchuan City?"

The blue-clad youth sneered, looking Jiang Feng up and down, letting out a disdainful snort. "He doesn't look like much either. There's not even a decent amount of true qi fluctuation on his body."

"Listen up, my name is Huang Ping, an elite student from Linhai Martial Arts High School!"

"oh."

Jiang Feng nodded slightly. "So, is there something you need?"

Looking at his nonchalant expression, Huang Ping felt as if he had punched a cotton ball, and a nameless anger suddenly flared up inside him.

"What are you pretending to be, acting all high and mighty!"

Huang Ping shouted sternly, his voice rising sharply so that everyone in the room could hear, "Who in the whole province doesn't know what level your Linchuan City is at?"

"A consistently bottom-ranked waste disposal facility!"

"If the province hadn't been worried about you losing too badly and had let our two cities play along, you wouldn't even have qualified for the three-city league!"

He paused, looked around, and said loudly, "For this league, the province requires our three cities to work together to fight against the prodigies of Chengdu and Wujiang."

"But since it's a collaboration... we should have a hierarchy!"

"In terms of strength, Linhai City is the strongest, so naturally we should be the boss!"

"Do you have a problem with that?"

These words immediately caused an uproar in the huge square.

"Who is this guy? So arrogant? He wants to be the boss of everyone?"

Someone couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

"Shh! Keep your voice down! You don't even know Huang Ping? That Vice President Huang of the Provincial Wushu Association is his uncle!"

"Pshaw! What kind of skill is it to rely on connections!"

"Although Huang Ping may not rank in the top three in Linhai City, he is still a genuine fourth-grade grandmaster! He shouldn't be underestimated!"

"That's not right..."

One of the more astute students lowered his voice and said, "Although Huang Ping has a powerful background, it's clearly against the rules for him to step forward in this kind of situation."

"Look at those two prodigies in Linhai City, neither of them has spoken. This means Huang Ping was just someone pushed out to test Jiang Feng's true strength!"

All eyes turned to the front of the Linhai City camp.

There stood the two most outstanding talents in Linhai City.

Single Nightmare!

Fight against the Heavenly Dao!

Dan Yan was dressed in black, with a black mask on his face. He seemed to blend into the shadows, exuding a creepy and eerie aura.

According to legend, those who died at his hands didn't even know how they breathed their last.

Standing beside him was Zhan Tiandao, dressed in blue, with a burly build and dragon-like true energy emanating from his body. Behind him was a large group of followers, clearly the leader of Linhai City.

Upon hearing Huang Ping's provocation, Zhan Tiandao frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "Huang Ping, we are all comrades from Jiangnan Province."

"The big exam is just around the corner. If we start internal conflicts now, aren't we just giving the elites of Rongcheng and Wujiang a reason to laugh at us?"

Although he spoke eloquently, he remained rooted to the spot, showing no intention of stepping forward to stop him.

Dan Yan glanced at Jiang Feng, snorted coldly, and said in a voice as piercing as a night owl: "Brother Zhan, Huang Ping's words may be rough, but they make sense."

"A group without a leader is a major taboo. It's better to decide who will lead beforehand than to become a liability after entering the secret realm!"

Their back-and-forth was a show of support for Huang Ping.

……

At this moment, the Beiyue City camp was not far away.

"interesting."

Yan Changfeng gently toyed with the metal folding fan, a smile of amusement playing on his lips.

"Linhai City has quite the appetite, wanting to be the boss right off the bat. They're completely disregarding Beiyue City."

Lin Xing's gaze swept across the crowd and landed on Zhan Tiandao and Shan Yan.

Sensing the powerful true energy within the two men, he frowned slightly and said, "These two guys... their aura is restrained, their strength is probably no less than mine."

"Linhai City's foundation this year is deeper than I imagined."

"Brother Lin Xing."

Yu Wan'er, munching on a peach, blinked her big eyes and looked curiously at the center of the arena. "How do you think that Jiang Feng will handle this?"

"If we tolerate being called trash to our faces, the people of Linchuan City will completely lose their support."

"I think that kid isn't very old. He'll be furious after being openly insulted and will definitely fight Huang Ping."

Yan Changfeng chuckled as he fanned himself with his folding fan, "However, this is precisely the scheme set up by Zhan Tiandao and his group."

"Vice President Huang of the Provincial Wushu Association has come to Linchuan City."

"Huang Tianping is his nephew."

"Having openly engaged in a private fight in front of the Wushu Association building before the competition, will Vice President Huang let Jiang Feng off the hook?"

"If you make a move, you could be disqualified from the competition at any time, or even arrested on the spot!"

Lin Xing's cold, expressionless face said in a deep voice, "This is Zhan Tiandao's open scheme!"

"Although Huang Ping has the strength of a fourth-grade three-star, he is no match for Jiang Feng."

"Linhai City never expected Huang Ping to win. They used Huang Ping, the vice president's nephew, as bait to force Jiang Feng to take action!"

"Once Jiang Feng makes a move, it gives Shan Yan and Zhan Tiandao a reason to act as well."

"Given Shan Yan's speed, he would definitely severely injure Jiang Feng in an instant!"

"With Jiangfeng abolished, Linchuan City was leaderless and fell into disarray."

"Once we enter this perilous secret realm..."

"This time in the secret realm, we'll be fighting real beasts."

"Those pampered greenhouse flowers in Linchuan City probably haven't even seen blood."

"Without the protection of a powerful figure, they'll be doomed if they go in!"

These words were spoken.

The members of the Beiyue camp all changed color slightly.

The intentions of Linhai City are surprisingly profound!

This moment.

The vast square fell silent.

Hundreds of eyes turned to Jiang Feng.

Faced with this unsolvable conspiracy, will Jiang Feng choose to swallow his humiliation and submit, or will he fight back recklessly and draw blood?
