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

A gentle breeze swept through the dense forest, carrying with it a strong, pungent smell of blood.

Several corpses lay scattered in pools of blood.

Not far away, Luo Cheng and Lin Xiaoxiao stood frozen in place, staring blankly at the figure slowly sheathing his longsword.

As the pride of Beiyue City, they have enjoyed countless accolades since childhood and are extremely proud at heart!

Before participating in the league, they looked down on the trainees from Linchuan City from the bottom of their hearts.

But now, their worldviews have been shattered by the young man in front of them with a single sword strike!

Murder... is it really that simple?

They had killed strange beasts before, but seeing living people being decapitated right before their eyes was a visual shock that struck their very souls, making the two high school students feel nauseous.

Immediately afterwards, a chill and lingering fear welled up in my heart.

If it weren't for Jiang Feng, they would be the ones who died here.

"Jiang Feng's unleashed power... is even more terrifying than before!"

Luo Cheng swallowed hard, his back soaked with cold sweat.

In the square, when Jiang Feng faced Lin Xing, the number one person in Beiyue, as well as Zhan Tiandao and Shan Yan from Linhai City, he did not unleash his full strength at all!

You could even say they went easy on him!

If Jiang Feng had drawn his sword back then...

The fate of those prodigies will definitely not be any better than that of these desperados!

At this moment, Jiang Feng didn't even glance at the two of them.

Now that we've rescued the person, do we really need to offer some gentle words of comfort?

What a joke.

This is a secret realm, a true battlefield of carnage!

It's not an ivory tower!

Jiang Feng walked straight to the headless corpse of the bald man, and without any hesitation reached into the bloodstains to pluck the storage bag from the man's waist.

His eyes lit up as he probed the storage bag with his divine sense.

Although the bag wasn't very spacious, it contained several radiant and beautiful medicinal herbs.

Judging from the fluctuations of spiritual energy, even the lowest grade is above the third rank!

There were even a few strange beast crystal cores that emitted a faint glow.

"Not bad, not bad."

Jiang Feng smiled with satisfaction and put all the spoils into his system space.

The ancients were right; indeed, murder and arson bring wealth and honor!

Next, he threw the empty storage bag into his spatial storage, clapped his hands, and prepared to head to the next resource point.

Only then did Luo Cheng and Lin Xiaoxiao, who had recovered from the shock, come to their senses as if waking from a dream.

"Brother Jiang... Brother Jiang Feng!"

Lin Xiaoxiao ran forward quickly.

Her pretty face flushed crimson, her eyes brimming with tears, and her voice trembled slightly with relief: "Thank... thank you so much, Brother Jiang Feng, for saving my life!"

"If it weren't for you, we would definitely be dead today!"

Jiang Feng stopped in his tracks, waved his hand casually, and said in a flat tone:

"It's alright."

"We three cities in Jiangnan are of the same ilk and belong to the same camp."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the two of them: "If you ever encounter any of my students from Linchuan City in danger, I hope you will lend a helping hand."

Upon hearing these words, Luo Cheng and Lin Xiaoxiao were deeply moved, and their admiration for Jiang Feng was instantly palpable.

"Don't worry, Brother Jiang Feng!"

"From now on, whatever happens to my brothers in Linchuan City is my business, Luo Cheng's business!"

Luo Cheng gritted his teeth and carefully uprooted a spiritual herb that emitted a faint starlight, then presented it to Jiang Feng with both hands.

"Brother Jiang Feng, this is the Star Moon Grass we found on the island."

"It's a fourth-grade spiritual herb, and a key ingredient in many fourth-grade pills!"

"This thing rightfully belongs to you!"

His tone was extremely sincere.

If it weren't for Jiang Feng, he and Lin Xiaoxiao would have lost their lives, let alone been able to protect this spiritual herb.

Jiang Feng did not refuse and reached out to take the Star Moon Grass.

The moment I touched it, a cool spiritual energy seeped into my palm, and even my consciousness felt a sense of clarity.

"A fourth-tier Star Moon Grass?"

"The quality is indeed quite good."

Jiang Feng nodded. "Perfect. Take it back to Yu He and tell him to refine a few more batches of pills."

After thinking about it, I realized that I was indebted to those who gave me money.

Although these two are not very strong, they are at least sensible.

Jiang Feng casually reached into his robes, pulled out two round and plump pills, flicked them with his fingers, and they landed in the hands of the two men.

"The secret realm is dangerous; maintaining abundant internal energy is the key to survival."

"These two Grade 4 Qi Nourishing Pills can replenish the true qi consumed in critical moments. Consider this a trade for your Star Moon Grass."

"I'm gone."

Before he finished speaking, the "Soaring Dragon Technique" began to operate with a roar.

Jiang Feng's figure transformed into a blur, like a startled swan skimming the water, instantly disappearing from their sight.

Peace returned to the island.

Luo Cheng and Lin Xiaoxiao stared blankly at the fragrant medicinal pill in their palms.

"A...a fourth-grade elixir?!"

"And it's a Qi-Nourishing Pill that instantly restores true energy?!"

Luo Cheng swallowed hard.

Although recovery pills are relatively easy to refine compared to other pills of the same grade, this is a genuine grade four pill!

Only a highly skilled alchemist can refine this!

In a critical moment, this could be a lifesaver!

They hadn't even had a chance to repay the debt of saving their lives, and Jiang Feng had actually given each of them a fourth-grade pill?!

"Brother Jiang Feng... he's really too good..."

Lin Xiaoxiao, standing to the side, clutched the Qi-Nourishing Pill tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.

……

at the same time.

Dozens of miles away from the island, Jiang Feng was riding the waves, speeding towards his next destination according to the system map.

"There are three purple resources on that island ahead. I wonder what good stuff we can get there..."

Jiang Feng stared intently at the island that was getting closer and closer in the distance.

As for the Qi-Nourishing Pills he had casually given to Luo Cheng and the other man, he felt no emotion whatsoever.

The three cities share a common destiny, and as the team leader, I also need to win people's hearts.

But most importantly...

He had far too many Qi-Nourishing Pills on him!

After learning that he was going to enter the secret realm for a trial, Bai Yuhe stayed up for several nights in a row and refined ten bottles of top-grade Qi-nourishing pills!

One bottle contains a full one hundred pills!

Nearly a thousand Qi-Nourishing Pills!

Although Jiang Feng distributed a batch of pills to his sister Shen Weilan, Song Haoze, Gu Yuanchao, and others before entering the secret realm, he still has more than 500 pills left.

"More than five hundred."

As Jiang Feng felt the wind rushing past his ears, he couldn't help but mutter a complaint to himself.

"Even if you ate these like candy, you couldn't finish twenty of them a day."

"That kid, Yuzuru... is so good to me!"
