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

"Brother Jiang Feng, look at how arrogant they are!"

"We're all high school students, why do you look down on us!"

Xiao Xingye clenched his fists and cursed angrily.

Xiao Wan Ning, who was standing to the side, did not speak, but looked at Jiang Feng with a worried expression.

Faced with the crowd's resentment and unease, Jiang Feng shrugged indifferently.

"Anger is the cheapest emotion."

"Their overall strength is indeed a level above ours, so it's only natural that they're looked down upon."

"but……"

"Laughing loudly is useless; the one who laughs last laughs best."

"Once you enter the secret realm, life and death, and who will emerge victorious, won't be decided by mere words!"

These words, though few, acted like a powerful stimulant, calming the restless hearts of the crowd.

"Well said!"

Ma Baoguo stepped forward and patted Jiang Feng heavily on the shoulder, his eyes full of satisfaction and trust.

"Jiang Feng, once we enter the secret realm, the lives of these little brats will depend on you as their captain!"

Jiang Feng nodded.

Then, he turned around and led more than 100 students from the three cities in Jiangnan into the gate of Linchuan Martial Arts University.

As soon as Jiang Feng stepped through the gate, he felt every pore on his body suddenly open up.

"Such a rich spiritual energy!"

The concentration of spiritual energy here is several times higher than that outside!

Even without actively activating the technique, the true energy circulates within the body on its own.

If one were to cultivate in seclusion here, it would definitely yield twice the results with half the effort.

"As expected of a holy land of martial arts."

"I wish I could stay here and cultivate forever."

"Although Linchuan Martial Arts University may not be considered a top-tier university, it's definitely a first-tier university!"

"Hmph! I'm going to Kyoto Martial Arts University!"

However, before they could even take a few more breaths of spiritual energy, they were stopped by a strict security check.

The person standing next to the security gate and in charge of supervision was a woman dressed in a black business suit with gold-rimmed glasses perched on her nose.

She has a slender figure, long legs, and exudes an intellectual aura.

This woman is Lin Yuhan, the assistant to the president of Linchuan Martial Arts University.

The faint fluctuations of true energy emanating from her body revealed her to be a Grandmaster of the Fifth Rank, First Star!

When Jiang Feng walked to the security gate, Lin Yuhan slightly raised her eyes and looked him up and down.

"Is this the kid that Mayor Lu Chenshan has been praising all along?"

Sensing the fluctuations of Jiang Feng's fourth-grade, ninth-star aura, Lin Yuhan frowned slightly.

"Not even at the fifth rank?"

"It seems that Jiangnan Province will once again be at the bottom of the three-city league without any suspense."

As the assistant principal, she has organized several provincial-level leagues like this one.

In every tournament, the teams from Jiangnan Province are thoroughly thrashed by Rongcheng and Wujiang.

This time was clearly no exception.

"Identity verified."

Lin Yuhan withdrew her gaze and said in a cool voice, "Everyone, follow my lead and do not wander around the campus."

"You will be responsible for the consequences if you trigger the defensive formation or disturb the captive beasts."

After saying that, she turned around and walked to the front of the line in her high heels.

Looking at the slender figure ahead, Xiao Xingye couldn't help but swallow hard and whispered, "Brother Jiang Feng, Wuda University truly lives up to its name!"

"Even the girl guiding us is so beautiful. Look at her figure, her legs, they're amazing..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng rolled his eyes, wishing he could kick the unlucky kid away.

"He's a fifth-grade Grandmaster!"

"If she hears you, she'll slap you so hard you'll be a mural on the wall, impossible to peel off!"

"ah?!"

Xiao Xingye trembled with fright, all the romantic thoughts in his mind instantly vanished, and he covered his mouth tightly.

Lin Yuhan, who was walking at the front, paused almost imperceptibly.

A subtle, amused smile played at the corners of her lips.

"This kid's strength isn't much to look at, but his perception and caution are quite interesting."

After walking through the tree-lined avenue, an auditorium came into view.

"Hiss! What's that?!"

Just as we arrived downstairs at the auditorium, someone exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone instinctively looked up and gazed at the sky through the dome.

The next second, everyone's pupils contracted sharply, and a chilling coldness shot straight to the top of their heads!

A dark crack, hundreds of feet long, suddenly appeared in the sky directly above the auditorium!

The edge of the crack had an eerie dark red color, like an eye coldly looking down at the masses below.

An aura of savagery, fear, bloodlust, and destruction poured down!

"The aura of a strange beast?"

Jiang Feng frowned.

He had slain strange beasts before and was all too familiar with this evil aura.

Seeing the pale-faced students, Lin Yuhan stopped and turned around to explain, "This time, your testing ground isn't the arena, but rather passing through this crack and entering the [Secret Realm] to fight to the death against the strange beasts!"

"Hundreds of years ago, the abyss descended upon Earth, and strange beasts ravaged the planet."

"At the same time, these spatial rifts also appeared all over the world."

"Through hundreds of years of research and exploration by our martial arts predecessors, we have come to the conclusion that the Abyss and these secret realms share the same origin!"

"If the Abyss is a vast, evil world, then these secret realms are fragments of that world!"

"Don't let your guard down just because it's a fragment."

"This secret realm is as large as three Linchuan cities!"

"Although most of the area has been explored by martial arts students, the secret realm is affected by the laws of the abyss, causing a large number of low- and mid-level beasts to spawn periodically!"

"Your mission is to kill those monsters!"

After saying that, Lin Yuhan turned around without any hesitation, stepped onto the stairs, and pushed open the door of the auditorium.

At this moment, several figures with unfathomable auras were already seated on the high platform of the auditorium.

Seated on the left are Lu Chenshan, mayor of Linchuan City, and Huang Zhen, vice president of the Jiangnan Provincial Wushu Association.

On the right sat two middle-aged men with an extremely imposing presence.

One of them, with a full head of red hair, looked like an enraged lion. He was none other than Zhao Kuanghai, the president of the Rongcheng Martial Arts Association!

The other person was dressed in a black robe, with a chilling aura—Wei Changhe, the president of the Wujiang City Martial Arts Association!

However, the most eye-catching person in the entire room was the woman sitting in the center.

A woman wearing a moon-white long dress with cloud patterns, with long hair reaching her waist, a face that could launch a thousand ships, yet with an aloof and cold demeanor like a fairy from the Moon Palace.

President of Linchuan Martial Arts University, Yun Muge!
