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

"Buzz!"

Jiang Feng stepped into the portal, and the world before him was instantly plunged into darkness.

Immediately afterwards, a strong sense of weightlessness swept over his entire body, and even he, with his powerful spiritual sense, felt a slight dizziness.

Fortunately, this feeling didn't last long.

"thump!"

With a splash, Jiang Feng felt a chill run through his body as seawater submerged his mouth and nose.

next moment.

He suddenly opened his eyes, circulated his internal energy, and kicked his legs hard in the water, bursting out of the water like an arrow.

"Splash!"

The river breeze landed steadily on the water's surface, and true energy formed a thin film on the soles of my feet, making walking on the water's surface as easy as walking on flat ground.

He looked up and saw a vast, endless ocean.

The water rippled and shimmered.

A thin layer of white mist hung over the water, and the outlines of scattered islands could be vaguely seen in the distance.

"Such a rich spiritual energy!"

He took a deep breath, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

The spiritual energy here is even stronger than that on the Wuhan University campus!

Moreover, the surrounding scenery was beautiful, with a gentle breeze, making it seem like a paradise on earth, completely different from the perilous secret realm he had imagined.

"This should be the 'Watery Sky' area marked on the map."

Jiang Feng had a thought, and a map immediately appeared before his eyes.

As the lights flickered, they confirmed their location and found that the nearest island was not far away.

"Let's get ashore first."

Jiang Feng felt a breeze beneath his feet, preparing to unleash the "Soaring Dragon Technique" to walk on water.

However, just as he took a deep breath, a sense of crisis suddenly overwhelmed him!

"There's something there!"

His eyes turned cold, and without the slightest hesitation, he slammed his right foot into the water.

Using the force of the recoil, he was instantly lifted into the air, soaring several meters into the sky.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Almost the instant he took off, the once calm water surface suddenly shattered.

Several strange fish, each over half a meter long, covered in blue scales and with fangs like steel saws, leaped out of the water and lunged at the spot where he had been standing!

[Ding! First-tier water-type beast detected—bloodthirsty piranha!]

"A Tier 1 beast?"

"court death!"

Jiang Feng, who was in mid-air, snorted coldly and pushed forward instead of retreating.

His right arm suddenly tensed up. He didn't even bother to use any martial arts techniques, relying solely on his physical strength to swing his fist and smash it down hard!

"Bang!"

A dull thud of flesh exploding rang out!

The first few piranhas were smashed to pieces by the fist of the river wind!

Body parts mixed with black blood exploded in mid-air.

[Points +1]

[Points +1]

[Points +1]

The smartwatch on my wrist vibrated slightly, and numbers lit up on the screen.

At the same time, several first-tier alien beast cores fell from the shredded flesh and were caught in his hand.

Having not engaged in such a brutal, hand-to-hand combat for a long time, Jiang Feng felt no fear; instead, he felt his blood and qi begin to heat up.

"Gurgle..."

However, as the piranha's carcass fell into the water, the spreading stench of blood caused the surrounding water to churn violently, and countless dark shadows were rapidly gathering at the bottom of the water, clearly attracting an even larger horde of beasts!

"We can't get bogged down!"

There is nowhere to land in this water. If we get into a prolonged battle, it will easily attract more monsters, and we will definitely be in trouble.

He decisively activated the Soaring Dragon Technique, his figure transforming into a blur in mid-air, like a bird skimming across the water, rushing swiftly towards the nearest island.

A dozen minutes later.

The river breeze landed steadily on a small, isolated island.

Following the guidance of the system map, he quickly dug out a "white resource" item in a bush in the center of the island.

"this one?"

Looking at the storage bag in his hand, which was covered in mud and even had a small hole in it, Jiang Feng couldn't help but twitch his lips.

That's so shabby!

The internal space of this storage bag is probably less than that of a backpack, and the magic array is damaged, so it may be rendered unusable at any time.

For him, who possessed an infinite amount of space within the system, this thing was utterly useless!

"It seems that searching for white-grade resources is a complete waste of time."

"Go get the higher-level one!"

Jiang Feng casually tossed the tattered storage bag aside and fixed his gaze on a blue dot a dozen kilometers away on the map.

Without pausing, he released his inner energy and sped away, skimming the surface of the water.

……

One hour later.

A vast island with lush vegetation appeared ahead of Jiang Feng.

"boom!"

"when!!!"

However, before he could get close, a loud clang of weapons clashing rang out.

"Is someone fighting?"

Jiang Feng concealed his presence and silently descended into the dense forest at the edge of the island, then crept towards the source of the sound.

We passed through a dense broad-leaved forest.

A fierce battle was unfolding on the open ground ahead.

Surprisingly, not both sides in the battle were students participating in this league.

Surrounded in the center were two young students, a man and a woman.

Judging from their yellow martial arts uniforms, they are clearly the elite students of Beiyue City!

The boy wielded a heavy machete, his swordsmanship characterized by sweeping, powerful strokes.

The girl held a long sword, its blade flashing.

Both of them were surrounded by true energy, and they had both reached the Grandmaster realm of the fourth grade, first star!

However, at this moment, the two of them were in an extremely disheveled state.

A deep, bone-revealing gash was slashed across the boy's chest, and the girl's arm holding the sword was trembling slightly.

They were attacked by five burly men dressed in black, with their faces covered by black cloth.

These men in black used extremely ruthless moves, specializing in attacking the lower body and vital points; it was a completely unorthodox fighting style that risked their lives.

In particular, the bald man in black, who was holding two poisoned crescent blades, had reached the fourth rank and five stars in martial arts!

Under his control, the two were almost powerless to fight back and faced constant danger.
