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

"snort!"

As the Black Dragon Armor shattered, Lin Xing let out a muffled groan and was sent flying backward.

"Boss Lin!"

Upon seeing this, Yan Changfeng's eyes instantly turned red.

The three heroes of Beiyue were of one mind and one heart. Seeing their eldest brother injured, he no longer cared about his composure and swung his hands forward violently.

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

Three metallic spheres shot out, making a series of mechanical clicking sounds in mid-air, and then instantly unfolded into three 'Black Iron Poison Scorpion' mechanical beasts with a body length of over two meters!

The three-headed mechanical beast charged at Jiang Feng the moment it landed!

"Are all the people in Beiyue City a bunch of shameless scoundrels who only know how to launch sneak attacks?!"

Just then, a cold snort rang out.

Song Haoze has made a move!

He took a step forward, his longsword ringing out, and a sharp sword intent soared into the sky.

"Taiyi Splitting Light Slash!"

A dazzling sword aura several meters long swept out, blocking the charge of the giant mechanical scorpion directly in front!

"roll!"

Jin Muyang sprinted forward, gathering his true energy in his right fist, and slammed it hard against the scorpion's sweeping tail hook from the side!

With a "bang," the tail spike was smashed off course.

At the same time, Gu Yuanchao abandoned his usual laziness, flicked his wrist, and the belt at his waist transformed into a soft sword that gleamed with cold light.

His figure was like a ghost, and his soft sword reached out at an eerie angle. With a few "whoosh," it wrapped around the two iron pincers of the last scorpion. Under the pull of his true energy, he made it unable to move at all!

The three prodigies of Linchuan acted simultaneously, instantly breaking the encirclement of the mechanical beasts!

However, at this very moment...

Yu Wan'er's petite figure had somehow appeared behind Jiang Feng.

She held a dagger in her hand, like a venomous snake reaching out, aiming straight for Jiang Feng's back!

At this critical moment.

"You dare hurt my brother?!"

"court death!"

A clear, cold voice rang out.

Shen Weilan's Phoenix True Qi surged forth, instantly enveloping her in a layer of blazing crimson light, making her resemble a phoenix reborn from the ashes!

"Phoenix Wing Soaring Palm!"

She struck out with her jade-like hand, and the scorching palm wind transformed into a fiery palm print that slammed into Yu Wan'er.

"boom!"

With a muffled thud, Yu Wan'er felt an irresistible surge of fiery poison energy enter her body. She groaned and was thrown back several meters like a kite with a broken string.

"Wan'er!"

Lin Xing, ignoring the pain in his chest, steadied himself and leaped forward, catching Yu Wan'er safely.

"Changfeng, stop!"

He looked up and shouted sternly.

Yan Changfeng gritted his teeth. Although he was unwilling, he could only form hand seals and turn the three mechanical beasts back into spheres and put them back into his sleeve.

At this moment, the condescending contempt in Lin Xing's eyes when he looked at Jiang Feng was gone, replaced by respect and fervor for the strong.

"River Breeze".

Lin Xing clasped his hands together, his voice strong and clear.

"Your strength is very strong!"

"I, Lin, am finished!"

Jiang Feng sheathed his Purple Cloud Sword, the surging true energy around him gradually calmed down, and he smiled faintly: "Your spear is also very powerful. If we really fight to the death, I will also have to pay a considerable price."

This heartwarming conversation between heroes helped to dispel much of the grudge between the people of Beiyue City and Linchuan City.

On the other side, Zhan Tiandao's expression was extremely grim.

He never expected that Jiang Feng not only withstood the attacks of three fifth-grade grandmasters on his own, but also that the group of Linchuan prodigies were all formidable opponents!

"Good heavens! What kind of divine battle was that?!"

"Jiang Feng single-handedly overwhelmed three fifth-rank prodigies?"

"Is this something a fourth-rank martial artist would do?!"

"Did you see what happened to the other people in Linchuan City?"

"That's incredible! Linchuan City is nowhere near being the weakest city!"

Meanwhile, Huang Ping, who had previously pointed at Jiang Feng and mocked him, was now trembling like a leaf, his legs shaking violently.

Even Zhan Tiandao and Lin Xing couldn't get the better of Jiang Feng.

How dare someone as lowly as a fourth-rank, third-star rank jump out and provoke others?

That's practically suicide!

At this moment, he was filled with lingering fear!

"boom!"

Just as the entire audience erupted in cheers.

A deafening roar, like thunder, suddenly echoed from the sky!

Two figures leaped down and landed firmly in the center of the square with a "bang".

"Hahaha! Excellent! What a fine example of heroes appreciating heroes!"

The middle-aged man in the cloak at the head of the group laughed loudly, his voice booming like a bell, making the blood and qi of many people present surge.

"The prodigies of my Jiangnan Province are indeed all like dragons!"

"Seeing your performance just now, I'm even more excited for this league!"

Upon seeing who it was, whether it was the unruly Lin Xing or the cunning Zhan Tiandao and Shan Yan, their expressions all turned solemn, and they all bowed respectfully, then called out in unison:

"Greetings, Venerable Huang!"

Venerable One!

The seventh rank is the highest!

The seemingly unremarkable middle-aged man before us is none other than Huang Zhen, a seventh-rank martial arts master who oversees the Jiangnan Provincial Martial Arts Association!

Sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the other party, Jiang Feng couldn't help but feel a hint of horror in his eyes.

Rank 7?!

Such a high-ranking figure has actually come to Linchuan City?!

He quickly composed himself and bowed slightly in greeting along with the others.

"Get up, everyone, don't be shy."

Huang Zhen smiled and raised his hand.

In an instant, a gentle yet irresistible invisible force lifted everyone up.

"Such exquisite control of power!"

Jiang Feng was shocked once again, gaining a deeper understanding of the methods of a seventh-grade Martial Venerable.

Huang Zhen's gaze swept across the entire scene, lingering for a second on Huang Ping, who was trembling in the crowd.

Huang Ping was so frightened that he scrambled back to the queue in Linhai City.

Turning his gaze away, Huang Zhen put his hands behind his back and earnestly instructed, "Next, I will personally escort you to Wuhan University to participate in this year's Three Cities League!"

"However, there is something I must tell you in advance."

"The rules for this league are completely different from previous years!"

"It eliminates the tedious blood and qi tests, combat power tests, and those half-hearted arena duels!"

Huang Zhen snorted coldly, his voice booming like thunder: "Because those so-called prodigies selected in previous years were all spineless cowards who couldn't even hold a sword properly when they entered the Abyss Battlefield!"

"There were even some useless people who fainted at the sight of blood! They've utterly disgraced Jiangnan Province!"

"So, this time! You will be randomly teleported into the [Martial Arts University Secret Realm]!"

"In the secret realm, you will need to face the battles against strange beasts to seize opportunities and compete for secret treasures! The specific rules will be announced when you arrive at the Martial Arts University."

Huang Zhen's gaze swept across each person's face like a knife: "But you must be mentally prepared beforehand... This secret realm training is no child's play!"

"It really can kill people!"

"Those who are afraid of dying can get out now!"

Upon hearing this, the vast square fell into an instant silence.

However, after waiting for a full half minute, not a single person took a step back.

Those who can stand here are all exceptional talents, one in ten thousand from each city.

The path of martial arts is one of fierce competition; how can we be deterred by a few threats?

Lin Xing and the other people from Beiyue City remained calm, even showing a hint of excitement.

Huang Zhen nodded slightly.

When his gaze swept over Jiang Feng and saw that the young man remained calm, his satisfaction reached its peak.

"It seems the intelligence was correct. This kid has killed alien beasts and seen blood... he's a promising talent worth nurturing!"

Huang Zhen regained his composure, took a deep breath, and announced without room for doubt:

"Since no one is quitting!"

"Therefore, I hereby announce that this league will be primarily based in Linchuan City! Jiang Feng will serve as the captain of the three cities!"

"boom!"

As soon as he said this, all eyes in the room turned to Jiang Feng!

Those gazes contained ecstasy, worship, complex emotions, scrutiny, and even more so, jealousy, resentment, and anger!

but.

In the vast square, among hundreds of outstanding individuals, not a single one raised any objection!

Because that young man standing proudly in the center of the field has already proven himself with his strength!
